[Haijin] Kiss the Fairy Feather

So I agreed to communicate, and there would be no so many things. Without this experience, I would not know my true intentions, and would not be in such pain as now...

It's all your own fault, are you afraid of being blamed by others?

But seeing Heilbram worrying about his own affairs like that, Harlequin didn't argue.

That being the case, tell the other party clearly that you have someone else you like?

But such a reason, even the best friend in front of me can't tell...

"Anyway, at least there's a good reason!" Heilbram was still thinking hard, "Well... just thinking about it... um... How about just saying that the personality doesn't match?" Well...if the other party doesn't think that your personalities don't match, I'm afraid they won't be able to understand the reason..."

"The reason...doesn't it need to be said..." Harlequin didn't listen to Heilbram's thoughts at all, and murmured, "Of course it's because of Heilbram..."

"... Huh? Wait a minute... I don't want to say, 'Let's break up because a friend wants us to break up?' And then someone asks, 'Which friend? Call it out and confront it!' Or' Which one is more important, me or your friend? What should I do! Could it be that the answer is 'the friend who keeps talking in my dreams'?! He will be sent to a mental hospital!" Helbram shook helplessly Head, "Yeah... still the same, I always don't understand this kind of thing, no matter what, I have lived in human society for so long..."

"It's you who don't understand..."

"Eh?"

Harlequin's hoarse voice made Heilbram's heart stagnate, and he wanted to confirm whether the other party was okay, but what he saw was a face covered with tears when he suddenly looked up.

"You are the one who doesn't understand anything! Even if I ask you, I won't say anything, or just deny it! The reason for breaking up is that there is something wrong with you! Because you are the most important thing! Girlfriends and so on don't matter. Alright, let alone a girlfriend, even all the people combined are not as important as you! Why don’t you understand—!!”

"..."

Heilbram was so shocked by this sudden confession that he almost lost his ability to think. His lips trembled for a long time before he asked in a daze, "Na, what did you say? Say it again?!"

"So, you are the most important thing to us!" Harlequin, who thought that Heilbram was angry again, shed tears even more fiercely, and almost wiped them hard, but couldn't stop Tears, shouting incoherently: "Enough! Enough! What if you are hated by the whole world! If we have a girlfriend, you will avoid us, then we will never have a girlfriend in this life! We just want to be with you Together! We won't change our minds if you feel disgusted!"

A cold touch touched the corner of Harlequin's eyes, catching his tears, and the next moment, he was embraced by someone.

"I didn't expect... I really still have the opportunity to hug Nai with my own hands..." Heilbram's voice was thickly nasal, "It's really... I'm that idiot... Nai already said that For this sake, what else can I object to? I can hear Nai say that, even if Nai will meet someone more important than me in the future, I am already satisfied... At least, at least I can hug like before But... 500 years... so long that I can't even count the fractions... I didn't expect, I didn't expect... Woo..."

"Hai, Heilbram...?" Now it's Harlequin's turn to be confused, what is like before?What 500 years?Is it Heilbram who is holding himself?The spell didn't hit them? !

Even more startling, what did Heilbram's words mean?Is he also...

Harlequin's inner deer bumped wildly, and his hands paused in mid-air, not knowing where to swing them.

"Thanks to Nai... Thank you, Harlequin." Helbram smiled with tears in his eyes, pinched Harlequin's fleshy cheeks hard, wiped away the tears on his face with his thumb, and then stared deeply. Looking at Harlequin's still confused pupils, it wasn't until the person in front of him gradually became blurred by the mist in his eyes that he hugged him tightly again.

...Thanks to us?What did we do?

Harlequin couldn't figure it out.He wanted to ask what was going on, and wanted to confirm how the other party felt about him, but when he heard the sound of sniffling in his ears, and felt the slight trembling of the person hugging him, Harlequin finally hugged him back gently. Heilbram.

Since childhood, he has only been hugged tightly by three people.One was Lady Elizabeth, who was a adoptive mother, who gave him a warm hug when he was young.He feels that hugs are very warm. People use hugs to convey body temperature and convey important feelings.It's a pity that after he grew up, Lady Elizabeth never hugged him like this again.

The second one is the girlfriend he is dating... always jumps up and hugs his neck at every turn, but he is not sure if it is a kind of hug, because it is different from the hug he remembers, compared to warmth , more like being rubbed by a small animal.

Now, Heilbram gave him a hug that was caught off guard, as if he had finally found a lost and recovered treasure, trembling so cautiously that he couldn't help but was afraid of losing it again, so he clung tightly and dared not let go.

It's not warm at all... Rather, it's full of humbleness and astringency, making Harlequin feel as if he has eaten an unripe sour fruit, and his eyes can't help but water out of the smoke.

So he hugged him back and stroked Helbram's back.He thought, it would be great if his body temperature could pass through.

☆、Chapter [-] of the Present World

They hugged each other like this for a long time, and Heilbram let go of Harlequin until he calmed down.

Seeing the tear stains on each other's faces, the two burst out laughing together.

"Are you all right?" Harlequin asked with concern.

"...Hmm." Still with a nasal voice, he replied, "What about you? Are you all right?"

"Hmm, um..." The urge to burst out under the distraction has received unexpected results. Harlequin wanted to confirm to the other party immediately at this time, did the words and behavior just now mean something? As he thought in his heart.

But after hesitating for a long time, the cowardly man still didn't dare to ask directly, and asked in a roundabout way: "Well...why, why can we touch you all of a sudden? Is it related to the 'spell' you said? Because we inadvertently What spell was spoken so that the curse is lifted on you?"

"Completely correct!"

"Which one?"

"I can't say that." Although it was the same answer again, Heilbram smiled happily this time.

"What... we can guess it even if you don't tell me. Is it because we said you are the most important? Or is it the phrase 'together all the time'?"

Apart from these two sentences, I didn't say anything special, right?

"Bad, almost!" Even though it was the second time hearing these two lines, Heilbram still felt his heart beating endlessly.

"Why did we say that to lift the spell on you?"

"This... I can only say that the spell is like that. If the general meaning is reached, it should be fine, right?"

"Is that so... Then, can I talk to you without entering a dream in the future?!"

"I'm afraid it won't work." Heilbram raised his hands, the chains still wrapped around them, "Although the ones on the feet have been untied, if I don't untie this, I won't be able to leave here."

"What should we do?!" Harlequin asked impatiently upon hearing that they could talk at any time as long as Heilbram's feet were unchained again.

"This...I can't even say it."

"I can't say it..." Harlequin frowned, and analyzed to himself: "If the previous spell was 'important person' and 'together'...then..." He suddenly caught Haier Bram's shoulders, looking into each other's eyes, said seriously, "We like you, Heilbram, I like you the most! Let's date!"

"...?!" Heilbram, who was confessed twice a day, was dumbfounded again.

But the chain didn't respond.

"Can't you?" Harlequin tilted his head, took a breath, and increased the weight of the "spell" again: "We love you! Heilbram! Marry us!"

"——!!" Heilbram blushed so much that he was about to bleed!

Unfortunately, Harlequin's attempt was still unsuccessful.

"No way..." he said disappointedly.

"Of course! Such a deliberate rhetoric is definitely useless, it has to be sincere!" Heilbram growled.

These words sounded to Harlequin's ears as if his intentions were being questioned, and the one who questioned him happened to be the person concerned. He couldn't help raising his volume, and shouted aggrievedly, "Of course we are sincere!"

Heilbram's face turned from red to purple, not so much because of embarrassment, but because of restraint, this guy... It is not wrong to say that he is slow at all, can such words be said casually? ? !Although hearing Harlequin say that he is his most important person, he is already very satisfied, but Heilbram knows that their "important" feelings are not the same, and it makes him feel so embarrassed to say such words ah!

"It's really... this guy! Do you understand what love means?"

"Why don't you understand! You are our most important person, of course we love you!"

"I still understand! How can you say that the word 'love' shouldn't be used between friends?!"

"...Huh?" Harlequin came to his senses in an instant.

...God...what did he say? !Because he was too happy to think that Heilbram was the same as himself, this is too smug!Well now... you got reprimanded?Was rejected?Why are you always so stupid? !

"I'm sorry... We, we were too complacent... I said something strange..." Tears rolled in the boy's eyes again.

Seeing his friend like this, Heilbram also calmed down, hugged Harlequin's head in his arms and comforted him: "Okay, okay, I'm not angry, don't cry! Nah...it's still the same , shed tears at every turn."

It should be something to be happy about, but it still makes people cry. I am the one, too complacent... If I say I am angry, it is because of this self who does not know the importance...

Heilbram patted Harlequin on the back, and suddenly a brilliant idea flashed into his mind.

He gently let go of his best friend and waved to him.

"Harlequin, Harlequin! Look here."

Harlequin wiped away tears and looked up.

The goblin boy floated in mid-air, and the sunlight pierced through the surrounding fog and shone on him, as if coating him with a layer of gold.

As expected, Harlequin forgot to cry, opened his mouth in surprise, and stammered and asked, "Hai, Heilbram...you, you flew up? How did you do it?!"

"Because I'm an elf! All elves can fly. They were trapped by chains before, so they couldn't fly. Now it's no problem!"

"Demon, goblin?!"

Is it the little guy flying around in the flowers mentioned in the fairy tale? ...It looks like Helbram really looks like the legendary fairy except that his body is as big as a human being!

So, Heilbram's wings are real... because he is a goblin, and goblins can fly...

"...that's great..." Sure enough, Harlequin said enviously.

Heilbram flew in front of him, leaned forward and tilted his head and asked, "Are you not afraid of heights in your life?"

"Fear of heights? Probably not..." Harlequin was picked up horizontally before he finished speaking, and he rose to a high altitude. He screamed in fright, and tightly wrapped his arms around Helbram's neck.

"It's okay, don't be afraid." Heilbram said softly.

Harlequin carefully opened his squinted eyes, looked down, and then turned his head to look into the distance.

Perhaps because of flying in the air, the surrounding fog has dissipated a lot.Brilliant sunshine spreads across the endless forest, like a green ocean.

In the distance, there was a huge pink tree several times higher than the forest. Harlequin had the impression that it was the pink mass he thought was the moon, but it turned out to be a big tree.

"How?" Heilbram asked with a smile.

"It's so, so amazing... We never thought that this place is so big and beautiful..."

"Really!" Heilbram said proudly, "I think, where is this?"

"Eh? Where?" Harlequin asked suspiciously, isn't this his dream?

As if guessing Harlequin's reaction, Heilbram laughed loudly. He lifted Harlequin's body and said, "Didn't you always complain that I never talked about myself?"

"We, why have we been complaining..." Harlequin retorted unconvinced, and then asked, "So, you can talk now?"

"Well, basically! In addition to telling Nai how to unlock the rest of the spell, and who cast the spell on me, these two things must never be said. So, of course, it is not as simple as upgrading the form of the spell. .”

The previous gaffe was teased out, and Harlequin became embarrassed and hurriedly changed the subject and said, "Then tell us quickly!"

Heilbram flew lower, found a big tree with a good view, carefully placed Harlequin on the branch, and sat down next to his friend. After thinking for a while, he started his story.

☆、Chapter Nine of the Present World

"You should have noticed, this place is different from ordinary dreams." Heilbram said.

Harlequin nodded.He has also had ordinary dreams, which are completely different from Heilbram's meeting, so he has not regarded their meeting as a dream for a long time. According to the fantasy novels he has read, it is probably more like a soul going out of his body, Or an experience like crossing different dimensions.However, these are just my own guesses.

"Have you heard of 'City of the Dead'?" Heilbram asked.

"The capital of the dead?" Harlequin thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I have never heard of it."

"That's it..." Heilbram said to himself, "Well... Even back then, the City of the Dead was just a legendary place, and it's even less likely that anyone would know about it now..."

"So, Heilbram came from that place called 'City of the Dead'?" As the name suggests, the City of the Dead should be a place where the dead gather.Since Heilbram is the guardian spirit, it is not difficult to guess that he is already dead.

"Probably!" Heilbram affirmed Harlequin's conjecture, and continued, "Usually, it takes the living and the dead to go to a specific place and connect with each other to open the passage between the world and the capital of the dead. , What you see is generally a world composed of desolate green lenses. Except for the missing dead, you will not interact with other unknown dead. In fact, there is more than one entrance to the capital of the dead, and not all It is fixed. The scene in the capital of the dead will also change according to the thoughts of the person who misses it."

Hearing this, Harlequin seemed to suddenly understand something.

"Listen to you...could this be...the capital of the dead?"

"Nah! It's really powerful!" Heilbram couldn't help but squeezed the prunes on Harlequin's head with his fist.

"Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

"Don't worry, I'm holding Nai!" Helbram laughed loudly, but he didn't bully Harlequin any more, and continued, "Remember I just asked Nao, do you know where this is?"

"Eh? Isn't it the capital of the dead?" Harlequin replied subconsciously, and immediately realized, "Ah, you mean... you turned the capital of the dead, which should have been a green lens, into a forest?"

Heilbram nodded approvingly: "However, it's limited to the 'room' I'm in. Because 'here' is the place where we grew up together and carries many of our memories..."

"..." Harlequin was speechless for a while.Although it can be guessed, it is impossible for Heilbram to become his guardian spirit for no reason, and not for decades or hundreds of years, but for thousands of years.They...or in other words, what happened to the original "self" and him?How could I allow such a cruel thing to happen to Heilbram at that time?

Not knowing whether he was waiting for Harlequin's reaction or already lost in his own thoughts, Heilbram remained silent for a long time without saying anything.

"Helbram?" Harlequin held the other's cold hand, hoping to bring him a little encouragement.

Helbram turned his head from his ecstatic staring, and smiled at Harlequin, as if to say, don't worry.

But he didn't talk about the forest anymore, but continued the topic of the city of the dead and said: "The living can't stay in the city of the dead for too long. But every time I see my partner after falling asleep, it's because people wake up after falling asleep. , the soul is easier to leave the body. Reaching the capital of the dead in the form of a spirit body, the damage to the spirit body and the body will be less. But even so, the living soul cannot stay here for a long time. That's why I said it before. When we meet, it will affect the rest."

"So it's like this..." Harlequin recalled that he lost his temper and blamed Heilbram at that time, and he still didn't believe what he said, and felt very sorry.

"Of course, not everyone can come to the City of the Dead as soon as you fall asleep. I just said that to enter the City of the Dead, you need to find the entrance. And in this life, you can just open this entrance."

"We? Opened the entrance?"

"Hmm—this seems to be inaccurate..." Helbram rubbed his chin for a moment, then pointed to Harlequin's chest and said, "It should be said... that Nai itself is the entrance to the City of the Dead. "

"Eh?!"

"Someone—ah, I can't say who that person is—created such a space for me. It's like... um..." He pondered how to compare, "It's like in the endless capital of the dead, extra A house was built, and no one could come in except Nai. Although I couldn’t go out because of this, when Nai wanted to find me, he could see me right away. So, Nai is the entrance of this house.”

"We are the entrance... No one can come in except us?" Harukun digested Helbram's words slowly.

It's no wonder that this huge forest doesn't even have a single animal, let alone other people... It's vast, beautiful, but also desolate.

Harlequin felt sad for a while: "So...is that why you are trapped here?"

"Ah."

"In other words, it's not that we can't see other dead people, but...you are the only dead person here?"

"...Hmm." Heilbram nodded hesitantly.

"Then... what were you doing alone when we were away?" Harlequin's voice trembled again, thinking of Heilbram staying in this kind of place alone, besides waiting for himself to appear, there was nothing to do. No ghost friends to talk to? !Moreover, before the chains on his feet were untied, he couldn't even fly freely, so he could only stay on the ground full of mist... How lonely this is!

He felt so distressed that he was about to cry.

"If Nai doesn't come, although we can't have a conversation, I can still see Nai, so it won't be boring." Heilbram smiled indifferently.

"Why, why did this happen...was it caused by us? Was it because of us that you were locked up here by someone?"

"No, no! Of course not!" Heilbram quickly waved his hand, "I asked for it myself! Really! But I... didn't ask Nai's opinion, let Nai become the entrance of the city of the dead... and was locked here , is the price I should pay."

The price... Harlequin felt more and more sad.Even though Heilbram was lonelier, he always said selfish things...

"If I knew this was the case, we would stay here to accompany..."

"No!" Heilbram interrupted Harlequin resolutely, "I told you that a living soul cannot stay here for too long, a few hours is already the limit! Although it may be just a dream for Nai , but the spirit body here has not really fallen asleep and cannot get real rest, if you stay here all night, it is equivalent to staying up all night, let alone want to stay here often!"

"..."

Heilbram hugged him up again and put his head in Harlequin's shoulder socket.

"I broke the first spell, I'm already very satisfied."

However, how can we undo the remaining chains and restore Heilbram's real freedom?

There is no hint... What should I do if I have no direction?

Heilbram hugged Harlequin quietly for a long time before reluctantly letting him go, sniffing and saying, "Okay, I've stayed here long enough, it's time to go back."

"Eh?! But..."

"It's still daytime outside, but it's time to wake up and have dinner."

Harlequin's slender brows furrowed in reluctance.

"If you don't wake up again, the two of you in the family will be worried."

"But if we leave, you will be left alone..."

"It's okay, although I can't talk, but I will always look at you." Helbram patted Harlequin's shoulder, "Only when you have recovered your energy will you have the strength to play again!"

...That's right, it's already evening, isn't it?At night, you can see Heilbram again!

Thinking of this, Harlequin felt that the brief parting was not so uncomfortable, and said with a smile: "Then let's see you again tonight!"

☆、Chapter Ten of the Present World

When he returned to reality, Harlequin found himself lying on the hospital bed, and Elizabeth was watching him. When he finally woke up, tears could not help but flash in his eyes.

"Great, Lord Jin, you finally woke up!"

"Master Elizabeth..." Seeing Elizabeth's worried look, Harlequin felt very sorry for his willfulness in not wanting to come back.Thanks to Heilbram for the exhortation.

Thinking that he would be able to touch Heilbram in the future, Harlequin couldn't help but smirk by himself.

"Jin, Mr. Jin? Are you okay? I'll call the doctor!" Elizabeth was frightened by Harlequin's sudden and weird laughter, thinking that something was wrong with him, she hurried out to call someone.

The results of the examination showed that everything was normal, and the doctor said that he could go home.

The family of three rarely found a quiet restaurant outside for dinner. During the dinner, Meliodas asked Harlequin, the teacher said that you are in a bad state this week and have severe insomnia. What happened?

"..." Harlequin put down the food in his hands, wiped his hands on a wet paper towel, and sat down respectfully.

Meliodas, who had always had a free-ranging attitude, suddenly asked him such a question in a strict father's tone like an ordinary parent. Harlequin didn't dare to neglect, and waited for training like an ordinary child.After all, no matter how unlike parents these two are, they are also the ones who raised Harlequin.

He doesn't know how other children get along with their parents, at least he can't ignore the fact that adoptive parents are not equal to their biological parents, not to mention that the adoptive parents seem to be about the same age as him, and feel like being raised by people of the same age ...So Harlequin never took the initiative to talk to the head of the group or Lady Elizabeth about his troubles. He studied hard at school in order not to cause trouble to his family as much as possible.Including his own room at home, it is absolutely impossible to be as messy as the school dormitory, because he doesn't want to ask Lady Elizabeth to help clean it up every time.

"I'm sorry..." Harlequin, who didn't know how to speak, made a sincere apology first.

"Why do you have to apologize?" Meliodas asked puzzled.

"Um...that..."

Meliodas shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Well, don't be so reserved, the atmosphere has become weird, come and come, don't stop, just chat while eating. Or, do you want some liquor?"

"Master Meliodas, this is a public place!" Elizabeth scolded.

"Ah, yes, children are not allowed to drink in public, hahaha! Sorry, sorry!"

"Really..." Elizabeth took a sip of the wine helplessly, and said softly to Harlequin, "Actually, today we also have something to say to you, Mrs. Jin."

"To us?"

Elizabeth nodded slightly: "Hmm... For example, why did Lord Meliodas and I adopt you but not let you call Mom and Dad? It's definitely not because we don't want to be a family member with Lord Jin."

"There are also these names between us." Meliodas added, "It must be strange for you to force you to call me like this without giving you the slightest explanation?"

"Because of this, I couldn't talk about my family affairs with my classmates and friends around me, and I was looked at with strange eyes... Because of our waywardness, I am really sorry for causing so much trouble for Mr. Jin."

"T-don't say that, Lady Elizabeth." Harlequin was a little flattered by the solemn apology from the two of them, and hurriedly waved his hands, "We...we just don't quite understand why this happened, It didn't bother me…”

Meliodas and Elizabeth smiled at each other, and Meliodas said: "You are welcome! You should have noticed that Elizabeth and I have not changed much in the past ten years. In fact, we just arrived When we went to school, we were also in a difficult situation, saying that we were your guardians, and it would be strange not to be suspected, so we had to say that we were your older brothers and sisters. Because of this, I realized how much trouble you usually have for this, sorry."

"Some things about Mr. Jin were also told to us by the teacher at the school. We have never asked Mr. Jin about his troubles, because although we have lived for a long time, we have no experience in raising children, not to mention, you are still Mr. Jin... ..." Elizabeth said, the faint light of water suddenly reflected in her eyes, and she quickly took a deep breath to stabilize her emotions, "However, even if it is not a parent-child, even if it is such an unusual family, it is really true to be a family member with Mrs. Jin. That's great."

"It's not bad to be friends and family at the same time!" Meliodas smiled grinningly.

"……Um."

The words of the two made Harlequin feel a little warm in his heart. He thought, like him, parents are not like parents but more like a family of friends. Maybe for some children, this is the way they want to get along with each other!What else can I be dissatisfied with?

So he decided to tell the two of his troubles.

Harlequin's current troubles can be summed up in two ways.

One is about Heilbram.To lift the curse on Heilbram was his greatest wish now.

And the half of the past that Heilbram told... For some reason, Harlequin felt that the captain and Elizabeth-sama must know.However, he would rather hear Heilbram explain this question himself.

The second is his current girlfriend.The day after tomorrow is April [-]st, but because of the sudden incident this week, he hasn't even mentioned to the team leader about inviting his girlfriend to celebrate his birthday at home, but now he's already thinking about how to break up...

Thinking about it this way, I really am a sucker!

Forget it, the second question is more urgent, so after organizing the sentence in his mind, Harlequin spoke slowly.

"Well... I understand the matter, but..." Meliodas touched his chin after listening to Harlequin's narration, "Before then, let me ask again, do you want to marry your current girlfriend?" Break up because there is someone more important?!"

"Uh, uh...you can put it this way..." When someone asked such a question back, but he was still the head of the group who was not very familiar with him, Harlequin thought that the head was blaming himself, and felt ashamed and ashamed , the head was so low that the face could hardly be seen.

The leader must also think we are a bad guy...

Unexpectedly, Meliodas laughed out loud, raised his glass and said, "I didn't expect you to encounter such emotional troubles! You are such a popular guy! Come and have a toast to celebrate!"

"..." Harlequin was dumbfounded by the leader's reaction, and asked in disbelief, "But, isn't this kind of behavior very bad?"

"This is youth!"

"Master Meliodas!" It was Elizabeth who stopped Meliodas' way of educating children, and asked Harlequin seriously, "My lord, it is because I don't know how to refuse that I agreed to have sex with her." dating, right? And, before that, I didn’t realize how important that friend was to me.”

Harlequin whispered: "All we know is that he is more important than a girlfriend. He wants to hide from us because we are unhappy because we have a girlfriend... But we don't want him to hide from us, so it's better not to have a girlfriend." girlfriend."

"Wait a minute?" Meliodas exclaimed, "You mean...'him'?! That man is a man?!"

"Eh? Yes, yes." Harlequin was puzzled as to why the leader suddenly became agitated.Fortunately, this corner was very quiet, and no one noticed Meliodas's sudden aggravated voice.

"Really... this is really unexpected..."

"Yes, is there something wrong?" Harlequin was disturbed by the commander.

"It's not that there's something wrong with you... Well, it's no wonder you didn't realize it at first..." Meliodas seemed to suddenly become interested, rubbing his chin and pondering, "The question is, how did you believe that he is more important than your girlfriend? In other words... why are you comparing him to your girlfriend?"

"This, this..." Harlequin recalled the shameful experience that day again, and his face became hot.But how could he have the nerve to say such a thing!

Although before that, he didn't understand what it was like to be in love, but there are some things, once realized, it's hard to deny them.This may be one of the instincts of living things.

☆、Chapter Eleven of the Present World

11. Chapter Eleven of the Present World

Seeing that Harlequin remained silent, Meliodas asked: "How? It shouldn't be just that he is more important than his girlfriend, right?"

This time, with emotion, Harlequin replied: "...not just a girlfriend, but more important than anyone else..."

Meliodas and Elizabeth looked at each other and asked, "Is it more important than me and Elizabeth?"

"Eh?!" Harlequin was startled, and frowned slightly: "But... the leader and Lady Elizabeth are family members, so they are different..."

"The people you like will eventually become family members, right?" Meliodas said. "At that time, which one of us is more important to you?"

"This..." Harlequin lowered his head deeply, and said in a voice almost whispering, "We don't know... I'm sorry... But, the captain and Lady Elizabeth are very important to us. So we think, After the people you like become family members, they won't become less important just because you have more children."

Only then did Meliodas regain his usual grinning smile, and said, "I see! I understand."

Elizabeth also said: "Master Jin is so important to people, if there is anything I can help, I will definitely do my best to help."

"So, so, so..." Meliodas stroked his chin, shook his head and said, "The problem is, the time to invite her to play at home is the day after tomorrow, your birthday, and it's not appropriate to propose a breakup before that, it seems because I regretted it myself, as if I deliberately didn’t allow anyone to come to my house to play.”

"But it's not good to invite people to play at home, and then propose to break up." Elizabeth said.

"Hmm...it is indeed a problem." Meliodas fell into deep thought.

Also, Harlequin felt very sorry for not saying hello to the two of them beforehand, but immediately throwing out such a dilemma after speaking.

"Ah, I came up with a good idea!" Elizabeth clapped her hands, "Don't just invite your girlfriend, take the two children in your dormitory, and the classmates in your class, who you think are better, all of them go home Come to the party! The party should be lively!"

Inspired Meliodas also said:
