Neighbors in forbidden land

This voice... I remembered.

Although I am really not familiar with it, I have indeed heard her voice, but I have only heard her voice.

The white cloak covering his face...is Li Le.

It was the "deputy team leader" that Wu Shao kept mentioning, the human being who attacked me after meeting me at the foot of the mountain.

why is she hereNo, today she didn't go there with Wu Shao to read my diary because she came here?

I really want to hide, but there is no way to hide.

Because she saw me without a doubt, and although it was dark, she should be able to see me.

And her golden eyes... what are they...

Next, she ignited the flame in her hand, and a burning flame appeared in her hand, and the faint glow brought her figure closer to the shadow.

"Is there no hostility... Or is this your disguise?" Li Le raised the fire light in his hand to his body, and a faint voice came from the darkness.

"What..." I don't understand what she means, why should I be hostile, it's better to say that she didn't directly attack me like that day, I'm already very grateful...

"Speaking of..." She passed the flame in her hand towards me, and pondered for a while, "You are undoubtedly not human, but... is there such a monster as you in the world?"

"..." I don't know how to answer.

If I really want to say it, there is indeed. After all, neither Xiao Gu nor Lan Xue nor I are human beings, but according to Lan Xue, we can all become close to humans.

But at the end of the day, that's not who we are, or really are.

Little Goo is Leviathan, the overlord of the ocean, Lan Xue is a powerful dragon, and I... am what humans call a disaster.

"I'm curious how much there is in this world that we don't know about."

"..."

"Are you deceiving Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess?"

"Huh?" The sudden turn of events completely puzzled me.

"But I also want to know, will you lie?"

"Huh?" What is this...

"You're weird."

"Yimi said that too..."

"Did you mean 'Yimi'? You can speak human language. How much do you know about human etiquette?"

"Yimi taught me something..."

"His Royal Highness Knight Commander did not accompany us, I think it is very unreasonable, but she mentioned your name, and the eyes of His Royal Highness cannot be opened casually, I was wondering whether you have Did not deceive Her Royal Highness the Princess."

"I just……"

Am I cheating Yimi?

I used to tell a lot of lies, in order to prevent Yimi from knowing who I am and what I am.

Later, when I was about to confess, I became what I am now.

So, it became a past that was never mentioned again, a lie that I deliberately ignored.

"I..." The words didn't come to my lips, because I didn't know how to answer her question.

The flickering fire seemed to never go out, distorting the surrounding darkness, distorting her figure, but not distorting her voice.

"It's so late and you don't rest, do you want to hold a tea party without evening tea?"

A familiar and firm tone suddenly sounded at the entrance and exit of the cabin, and I hurriedly turned around to look in that direction. Yimi was standing there quietly with one hand on the cabin wall.

"Yimi!" I hurriedly stepped on the slope made of wooden boards and trot to Yimi's side.

As long as Yimi is there, there will be no problem. Yimi knows how to communicate with humans.

"His Royal Highness." Li Le still took off the hood, bowed to Yimi like last time, and then quickly put the hood back on.

"Okay, it looks like this tea party is destined not to be very interesting." Yimi gently raised her hand on my shoulder and asked casually, "It's so late, shouldn't you be studying those words over there? What? What are you doing here?"

"It's all academic research, and it's the same here."

"Same? Is there anything worthy of your research here?"

"Magic eye."

The moment these words came out, I felt that Yimi's body seemed to tense up.

"You want to study this? Aren't you afraid of death?" Yimi smiled provocatively with his mouth slightly curved.

"I'm here to verify the master's theory. Death is something that will be put after that, and I may not die." Li Le raised his head slightly while speaking, "Because I am the same, Your Highness the Eldest Princess."

At that moment, the fire light in her hand became even hotter in an instant, but it was still not as bright as the flame-like light in her golden pupils.

"It's the same for you..." Yimi was silent for a while, as if she was also surprised by her words, "Do you have magic eyes too..."

"Yes."

I see... that's why I think of Yimi when I see her eyes.

Because that is also the magic eye?

"Can you control it?"

"...Yes." Li Le hesitated a little while answering, as if he was considering Yimi's situation.

"That's good, what else do we need to study?"

For some reason, Li Le suddenly fell silent, and Yimi didn't continue to say anything, but just hugged me closer to her.

"His Royal Highness, Master, he has never given up on researching ways to help you." These words were accompanied by a heavy sea breeze, blowing past us.

"Are you an example of success?"

"...Yes." Li Le still looked up slightly, but the light in his pupils was no longer as bright as before. "Whether the magic eye is easy to control depends on the owner himself and the strength of the magic eye."

"...So your magic eye is?"

"Applies heat to a visual target."

"..."

After a brief silence.

"so good……"

It's been a long time since I heard Yimi let out such a long sigh, as if vomiting out all the past together, turning it into a kind of sadness and helplessness.

"..." Li Le didn't reply, and I could only rub my head against Yimi's body, hoping that she would feel better.

Because I'm not afraid of Yimi's magic eyes, and Yimi's eyes are closed almost all the time, so I almost forgot about it.

Those are a pair of eyes that can take away life at will, which is the source of Yimi's pain when she is exiled here. "But if I don't have these eyes..." Yimi took my head to her chest, and a faint smell rolled on my face with a slight softness, reminding me of the time we spent together those nights.

"I won't see Xiao Hei either."

"..."

"Okay, I'm not interested in doing research with you, but I can tell you that the holder of the magic eye can be immune to the effect of the magic eye, regardless of the strength of the magic eye. I have confirmed this point. After all, these things, some 'People' know more than we do."

"people?"

"You don't even know her after all. Although I think she has a little... But she knows a lot of things."

After a brief silence.

"...Understood." Li Le bowed slightly.

"Also, I know exactly what Xiao Hei looks like, so if there is nothing wrong, don't make wild guesses, and don't gossip around... You shouldn't be such a person?"

Eh...oh, after all, that day, she really saw me like this.

"...Understood." Li Le, who paused for a moment, was still saying the same thing.

"Finally...help me say something to Azusa."

"To the Knight Commander of the Guards? Please tell me."

"Thank you, and I'm sorry."

"... definitely bring it."

"Is there anything else? If not, I will walk slowly."

"Then I'll take my leave." After the words fell, the golden eyes and flickering flames disappeared from the shadow of the boulder in an instant.

"Huh..." Yimi sighed softly, then hurriedly turned around to confirm my situation, "Xiao Hei, are you alright?"

"fine……"

"She didn't hit you, did she?"

"No..." She seemed to be reasoning this time?

"That's good."

"Yimi, why didn't you rest?" I remember I came out only after I confirmed that Yimi was lying down.

"Because you're not here, Xiao Hei."

"..."

"Okay, I'm awake anyway, it's rare to come out at night, how about we go for a walk on the beach?"

"it is good."

I followed Yimi's suggestion, and accompanied her to get off the boat from the slope made of wooden planks and step onto the soft sand.

There is almost no light in the night here, and even the gleaming sandy beach blends with the night above during the day, only the sound of the sea breeze walking on the endless land.

Yimi took my arm and walked aimlessly along the beach with me, surrounded by a quiet sea, where there is no light, the sea, sky, and earth are all one color, only Yimi and I seem to be walking In the boundless darkness.

"Don't go too far, let's just wait for the tide here?"

"it is good."

So we found a sandy place, and Yimi gently smoothed the skirt to fit her slender legs, and then sat down slowly, facing the sea.

"Hey... Even if it's so hot in the daytime, it's still cold at night..." Yimi hugged her arms tightly while talking, her body trembling slightly.

"Why don't you go back?" I tried to suggest, after all, I can't make a fire, and the goblin isn't here.

"At least wait for the tide...and..." Yimi smiled at me, "I want to see the stars, can I?"

"Yes? Why not?"

"Is there no one around?"

"How can there be people?" I tried to look around, only the boundless darkness, and the ship looming in the darkness, which had become our residence.

"you sure?"

"I'm sure."

"Okay then..." Yimi said, letting her long light orange hair spread out behind her, and then she fell back directly, lying on the beach, and waved to me, "Xiao Hei You come too."

So I put away the single wing, flicked the tail aside, and imitated Yimi and lay down beside her, letting the white single ponytail hang down on the beach on one side.

"Ugh... Even if I open my eyes in the dark, I'm still not used to it..." I turned my head and looked at Yimi who was covering her eyes with her hands. Even in the dark, I could still see clearly from this distance. She has a helpless expression.

"How is it? Is it better?"

"It's better...wow..." Yimi moved her hand away as she spoke, and exclaimed in a low voice, "It's so beautiful..."

I also let my line of sight follow the front, looking straight at the endless sky.

Countless stars are shining, and the fine sand-like starlight forms a river that spans the entire sky, competing with each other with unparalleled colors.

I remember, I used to...

When I flew to the moon, the dark world that surrounded me was full of countless stars.

It's the same, and the scenery I see now is the same.

"Yeah... very beautiful."

Up to now, I don't know what kind of standard Yimi refers to as "beautiful".But looking at the starlight covering my field of vision, I will also express my heartfelt emotion, maybe this is beautiful.

"I remember when I was still there before, I rarely had the opportunity to see such a view." Yimi's voice suddenly became very calm, I turned to look at her, and found that she raised her arm on her forehead, blue His eyes reflected the entire night sky.

"The lights around the palace are too bright, and if there is a magic barrier blocking it, it will still affect the viewing effect."

"Ah."

"Xiao Hei, what is 'um', you haven't seen it before."

"Eh? Oh, yes..."

"Xiao Hei, you are really dumbfounded..."

"Uh……"

Maybe that's what Yimi said, I'm dumb and stupid.

"It always feels... It's been a long time since we talked like this?" Yimi's voice suddenly softened, as if she was nostalgic for the past.

"Have it?"

How long is long for me?

"Of course there is... It feels like we haven't been alone like this for a long time..."

Yimi's voice became smaller and smaller, and at the end it was almost inaudible. Even in the dark, the blush crawling up her cheeks was very obvious.

yeah, i feel too...

"I haven't seen Yimi blushing like this for a long time..." This sentence almost blurted out. "Well...then do you still want to see it often!" Yimi, who suddenly raised her voice, rolled over and pressed directly on my body, with her hands on the beach on both sides of my head, the tip of her nose almost touching me The tip of my nose, my warm breath spit on my face with excited words, "You like this look, don't you? Is that why you have been teasing me so much before? Then just watch enough now!"

Yimi's agitated face almost occupied my entire field of vision. I don't know why, but in my eyes, the stars in the sky in the corner of my eye at this moment are not as bright as Yimi's pupils...

Pretty.

At this moment, everything seemed to stop. Yimi and I stopped our movements and words, and just looked at each other.

"Xiao Hei...can you blush?" The expression on Yimi's face turned into a little curiosity, and black light and shadow flowed in the blue pupils, staring quietly at my face.

"I...I don't know..."

I can't see my face, I don't know why Yimi blushes, so I can't judge.

Only at this time, the soft feeling of Yimi's pressure on my body is swimming in my whole body.

"do not know?"

"Hmm..." I nodded slightly.

Then, there was silence again.

The tide rolling in from the south didn't break the silence either. The noisy tide rolled up along the beach and covered Yimi and I's legs, bringing an indescribable coldness.

"Xiao Hei." Yimi called my name softly, with a color in her eyes that I had never seen before.

"I--" I was about to answer.

But my mouth was blocked by a faint softness, and all my voices were melted into this tenderness.

Yimi's lips.

A feeling that I have never experienced before flowed into my mouth along Yimi's lips and flowed to my limbs.

At this moment, I seemed to feel nothing, and seemed to feel all kinds of things.

The sea breeze blowing, the tide climbing up the thigh, the silent beach, the endless starry night.

And...Yimi who just bit my lips with her lips.
