deep clouds and thick fog

If anyone is the worst storyteller in the world, it's Rin Gabrielone.

Rin is not good at remembering things, or he only remembers things that are more important to him, so the long experience of 10,000+ words in the author's mouth will be reduced and reduced to a few dry paragraphs when it falls to him. According to what he said, the already low popularity is probably even more sluggish.

... What a blessing.

But even such a boring narration is enough to bring Mamon into those grotesque worlds: from Konoha who cultivated ninjas to the Warring States Period where monsters were rampant, from Abe Seimei who had twelve generals to Peng who was controlled by the first generation of Kirishu There are eight generations of Gregor, alchemists who use human bodies to make them, and puppet masters who try to make dolls have life.Mamon has been listening silently, until this moment, he realized that what this person said for many, many years before was not empty words.

[Viper, your 20 years have actually passed many, many years to me. 】

Indeed, many, many years.

Thinking of this person dying in a place he couldn't see, struggling and fighting among monsters in the form of a soul, traveling to several worlds, and even encountering Vongola's first generation of Wushou, who was forced to sign a contract--Mamon knew very well What kind of personality does Rin have? With his strength, he has not killed D Spedo. It can only be said that Spedo's strength cannot be underestimated.

After all, that was the original Kirishu.

Just thinking that this person standing in front of her alive has already experienced death and experienced so many ups and downs, Ma Meng felt very sad.

I can't do anything, but after a long time, listening to this person speak in a flat tone is really powerless.

It can only be known afterwards.

He suddenly understood what his hesitation was for. Did he really dislike this person?When we met when we were young, we frivolously thought that we could leave at any time, but once the relationship is planted, how can we throw it away at will?He likes Rin, loves——

love him deeply.

Sure the bastard is grumpy and willful, but...

He just can't let it go.

And what about Rin?Mamon has no doubt that he does have a place in this person's heart.

Rin was never one to wrong herself.

If you don't like it, if you don't care about it, how can you tolerate and give in?

But what separates the two is not a relationship problem, but a deeper and more stubborn gulf, a huge gulf derived from their personalities.

Rin doesn't stay in one place for too long.

And he himself is unwilling to spend a long time waiting for an unknown return.

[Nufufufu~ Rin is too kind~ Obviously she is ready to leave, isn't she?Those who can’t keep up have to give up. As the strongest, you just need to move forward. Others, what are you hesitating about? 】

That mushroom head was right.

As the strongest... Rin should be born without nostalgia and continue on.

Was he the one who stumbled this man?No, it's just that he doesn't have enough strength to follow him on.

Mamun held Rin's hand, but remained silent without speaking.Rin froze for a moment, then tightened his grip.

"Viper?"

"Ok?"

"..."

Rin didn't know what to say.

Undoubtedly, the warlock was upset, but he didn't understand what made Viper fall into an annoyed mood.

He could only hold the man's hand tightly, rub him into his arms, and warn him in a strong tone.

"You are mine...don't forget."

Mamon snorted and knocked on Rin's head.

"Who's yours? At least you're mine."

"Then I'm yours?"

"...Forget it, let's use the previous sentence, it's so disgusting."

"..."

With such a playful tone, it seems that all the troubles and heaviness have disappeared.Rin was ignorant, while Mamun looked at him with a helpless smile on his lips.

That's all... It's useless to think too much.

You can only cherish the present time... As for the future, let's talk about it later.

But at that time, he did not expect that this so-called future would be so fast.

*******

The battle for the ring is over, Mammon is going back to Balian Headquarters to assist XANXUS, and Moira, as the leader of Novella, is also busy.Rin began to study the fog attribute ring, and soon had a clue.

The bastard's mushrooms... It's really smooth to tell a lie.

"Hmph." Rin pinched the ring that had lost the sealed thing, and decided to mail it to Li Baoen tomorrow—it was useless anyway.

D Spedo really deserves to be the representative of the fog attribute, making good use of people's hearts.Knowing how eager Rin was to undo the contract, he told Rin to release him with half-truths.

It can't be said that it is released, even without Rin, he can come out by himself, but if Rin does it himself, there is no doubt that this young man who hates mushrooms will have to go berserk, and Spedo always likes to find excuses for others.

The ghost of the first generation is no longer in the ring, who knows exactly where it went?Rin threw away the ring and decided to resolve the contract in his own way.

Blocking, stripping, eliminating... bit by bit, the knowledge given by the door of truth is extremely powerful, so Rin got that thing done very quickly.

It's like a backlog of things in my heart is finally put aside, very relaxed.

In a good mood.

When Rin was in a good mood, he remembered Dino who had been forgotten by him for a few days, so he decided to visit Dino in Gabrielone, and sharpen his useless attributes by the way.But maybe it was the goodness of heaven that took pity on Dino, it rained halfway, and it would definitely take a long time to see the rain.So Rin took advantage of the opportunity to take shelter from the rain in a bookstore, and only waited for the rain before going to Gabrielone.

... Rin, don't be too patient =-=

To pass the waiting time, Rin picked a book at random and stood there to read it.This book is about the theory of parallel worlds, but most of them are conjectures, which makes Rin feel a bit boring.

But someone was clearly more interested in the book than he was.

"Sorry, I want to buy this book, but it seems that you only have one...can you give it to me?"

The one who spoke was a teenager in casual clothes, with fluffy white hair and the cotton candy in his hand had a strange sense of sameness.Below his left eye is an inverted crown purple imprint, but what caught Rin's attention was the all-too-familiar energy fluctuation.

The left eye ached.

On the middle finger of the boy's right hand was a ring inlaid with translucent gemstones. It also had wings in an extremely weird shape. The familiar shape reminded Rin of the Mare ring that had now turned into his eyeball.Even thinking about it carefully, Rin can still search for the impression of this ring in his memory: Many years ago, when the Rainbow Son met, the leader of the Kirioneiro family named Luche had such a ring in his hand. ring.

...Ozora from Mare's Ring?

The young man seemed to feel it too, with a polite smile, some kind of unspoken message was being conveyed.Rin handed him the book, and saw the boy walk away with an umbrella after paying the money.

Dakong...

I don't know if it has the ability to observe parallel worlds?

Rin thought of the selves in those parallel worlds, all of whom died young without exception, but she was the only one who survived because of a twist of fate because of a Mare.But also embarked on a road that seemed to have no focus.

What is the significance of this small ring, the cornerstone of the world?

His fingers brushed against his left eye, even if it was extremely subtle, he could still feel the gradual change—the change brought about by Mare's ring...

What will be the result?What kind of turning point will it produce for him?

Really, curious.

****

It was evening when the rain stopped.

Rin carried a heavy book bag and returned along the road. After all, he still hasn't achieved the great goal of training Dino.Because I felt a little late, I suddenly remembered the phone call.

Then I made a phone call to Gabrielone, only to learn that Dino went to Japan again...

"Hmph, I don't know how to make progress."

Rin felt a little helpless about Dino always running to Pengo Lie, but there was nothing he could do.When I looked up, I saw a certain golden-eyed spirit smiling lightly at the corner of the street, waving happily at him.

... Who cares about you.

So the silver-haired young man passed by without even looking at it.

= - =

His self-esteem was shattered, and Fu Bai, who felt ignored, was instantly blackened, and decided to flush the news he was going to say down the sewer: Hehehe, don't blame me for not planning to tell you, Rin, it's unlucky and you can figure it out ~

Rin didn't know that he had hurt a god with a fragile heart, and he didn't know that he had missed some news.When I went back, I happened to see Mamon. The little baby was exchanging intelligence issues with Moira. Rin didn't bother them, and went to the sofa to open the newly bought book and read.

Hmm... not bad.

The sun poured down, falling on Rin's body, making this person somewhat transparent.Mamon, who finally got the information, came over, and Moira walked out wisely and opened the door.

"What are you looking at?"

"Nothing." Rin closed the book and put it aside.Unexpectedly, the little squirrel jumped out from there and jumped onto the owner's hand, rubbing it coquettishly and cutely.

"OK OK."

Rin patted it reassuringly, but the little guy scratched him back a little annoyed.Mamon stood on Rin's lap and poked his face with his hand. The young man was kneaded by the warlock with an expressionless face, looking indescribably amused.

Well, it feels good to say the least.

Seeing the squirrel act coquettishly, Viper thought of his pet.The frog jumped down in a very handsome posture, and then turned into a lizard and coiled in a circle.Curious and at the same time, in order to avenge the warlock's previous poking in the face, Rin stretched out his hand to the lizard, but... was bitten.

... Can you be a little bit colder in cups.

Calmly freeing the silver-haired idiot's hand from the pet's mouth, Viper heard Rin muttering "like his master", but his face was still serious.

"Well, nice pet."

...It was a complete failure.

The gnashing of teeth will only make Viper dumbfounded, and then reflect on whether he really stayed with Rin for a long time so he was infected as the idiot No. [-], suddenly remembered that this guy still owes him money, and immediately grabbed the other party's collar to demand the debt.

"When will you pay back the money you owe me?"

"...What money do I owe you?"

"The storage fee for the ring."

"..."

Nothing could make Rin more powerless than this money-loving lover.

However, it doesn't feel bad at all.

A peaceful smile emerged, and Rin hugged Mamun who had quietly transformed into an adult appearance.The two whispered for a while, and Moira knocked on the door and pushed forward a tray of pastries.

...I reiterate again, sister, you are too good [cover your face]

Rin didn't go to get it, but the pine cone was very happy and rushed to eat it by himself.Looking at the swaying big tail, Rin somehow wanted to laugh, and took a sip of the mellow milk, the faint sweetness carried the goodness in memory.

There was also the warlock sitting quietly opposite him, with a beautiful profile and cold lines, maybe it was because the color of the cloak was too dark, so it looked thick and vivid in the light golden light.

Rin couldn't look away.

Since you can't move away, then just keep watching.

until bored.

He picked up the book on the side and continued to read, but found that his hand was a little transparent——the ability to materialize the illusion was unknowingly dispelled!His eyes sharpened, a call from another world restrained Rin, intending to drag him away.

Danger!

The black hole suddenly opened, Rin had no choice but to push Mammon away, but the warlock wanted to hold his hand, but pierced through.

Because... without materialization, he is just a ghost.

'Don't worry...I'll be back soon, I promise. '

Rin could only say that with his mouth, Warlock pursed his lips, and after a long time, he finally spit out a sentence.

"One year..."

However, at this moment, he was the only one left in the room, and the little squirrel, who had been abandoned by the owner again, jumped over and screamed a little anxiously. Mamon touched it comfortingly, as if speaking to it or to himself.

"He said he'd be back soon."

So, this is the last time, trust you.
