Slash the spirit behind the red pupil

[Judging from the disappearance of all the reinforced soldiers...it should be that they were all wiped out after the battle...] Porus reported to Estes with a slightly heavy tone.

【Really...】 Hearing Porus' report, Esdeath slightly lowered the brim of his hat.

【Sai Liu's benefactor was killed again...】

……

[Ha——] Sai Liu carefully took the towel in his hand and wiped the weapon gently, like a treasure.

Xiao Ke, who was lively and active beside him, seemed to understand the heavy heart of the master at this moment, and stood quietly.

Seleu...

Looking not far away, the girl kept wiping the weapon with the towel in her hand, and her lonely figure was deeply reflected in Mo Yin's eyes.

In all fairness, Sai Liu didn't do anything wrong... It's just that the people he met were wrong.

The justice in her heart has been completely distorted... Isn't it the fashion's fault?

Why let her bear such a heavy pain alone?

She is just...an ordinary 20-year-old girl!

That feeling as if the whole world is far away from her...

Mo Yin sighed secretly, and slowly floated to Sai Liu's side and used the power of realm on the weapon in the girl's hand.

The dilapidated weapons instantly became brand new and shiny.

[...! ! 】 Seeing the weapon in his hand restored to the appearance when the master handed it to her that day, Sai Liu finally shed tears.

【master…! ! 】

With intense grief and despair, Sai Liu tightly held the weapon in his arms.

Seeing Sai Liu crying bitterly, Mo Yin clenched his fists subconsciously.

——Although it is selfish to do so, if it can make you feel better...

Just let me use the power of the realm, let them become your dream...

Until you can completely let go of their departure, the power of the realm will be released.

sorry--

With a little apology, Mo Yin finally hugged Sai Liu from behind.

Feeling the touch behind her, Sai Liu turned her head to look directly at Mo Yin with tears streaming down her face, the original pair of smart eyes are now full of grief and despair.

It was...the grief of the loss of a loved one and...the hatred for the murderer.

Mo Yin, who is familiar with the development of the plot, looked into those eyes quietly, slowly raised his right hand and placed it on the back of Sai Liu's head to stroke gently.

【sorry--】

Sai Liu, who was immersed in grief, didn't have time to think about why the girl in front of her suddenly apologized to her, so she passed out in the girl's arms, and the last sight was the pair of black eyes.

And at this moment, Esdeth, who had already listened to Porus and Lan's report, walked out of the meeting room and saw at a glance——

The girl was carefully carrying Sai Liu on her back, turned and walked towards the room.

Very careful and gentle movements, as if afraid of waking up the people behind.

Estes:  …

……

[Sai Liu, get up and eat! 】A gentle middle-aged woman gently shook Sai Liu who was still asleep.

【kindness…? 】 Sai ​​Liu opened his eyes in confusion, 【Are you...? 】

[Silly boy, are you stupid when you sleep?I am your mother. 】The middle-aged woman caressed Sai Liu's face in a funny way,

[Okay, good boy, get up quickly.Breakfast is ready, you have to report to the security team today, don't you? 】

【kindness? 】Sai Liu frowned subconsciously when he heard about the guards.

So sad...why do you feel like this...?

However, when Sai Liu saw the undisguised love of the woman beside the bed, Sai Liu subconsciously smiled.

[Okay, Mom——]

This feeling...so warm...

[Is everything ready? ] Before leaving, the woman looked at her daughter worriedly and asked again.

[Ready, Mom, really——] Sai Liu curled her lips in dissatisfaction, but the awkward flash in her eyes betrayed the girl's mind at this time.

[Yes yes yes...my daughter has grown up. 】The woman fondled Sai Liu's long hair and laughed,

[Go, today is the first day of reporting, don't be late! 】

[Remember to get along well with your colleagues! 】

[Got it——] Sai Liu responded with a serious face, and the original heavy heart was suddenly replaced by emotion——

This is what it's like to have family...?

kindness? !

Aware of her strange feeling, Sai Liu shook her head in doubt, she wasn't—

Have you always had family...?

……

[Is Sai Liu okay...] After hearing the news of Fashion's death, Will said with some concern.

No matter what, they are all my teammates!

Although after spending the past few days with Sai Liu, he has already understood the decay and darkness of the imperial capital...

Soon, a warm touch came from the shoulder.Will turned his head suspiciously, just in time to meet those deep black eyes.

【...Ah, really, how can a man who is the sea fall into such negative emotions! ! 】

Seeing that Will was back to full of energy again, Hei Tong nodded his head slightly and withdrew his hand.

Although Seafood is a bit stupid, she is her companion after all...

partner...

elder sister…

……

[How about, do you want to join Hunter? ] Estes lowered his voice and said, leaning against the wall and staring straight at the girl who covered Sailuu with the quilt.

【Even if you say that, I won't join Hunter. ] Mo Yin replied helplessly.

【Also, that person hasn't grown to the point where he can compete with you.It's an agreement, isn't it? 】

【……Yeah?But since he is also a member of Night Raid, are you sure he can change me? ] Estes continued.

【...It doesn't matter if you change him in the end, or he changes you.It doesn't matter to me, what matters is that you are alive. 】

Mo Yin smiled lightly and looked at Estes,

【This is the most important reason why I made an agreement with you that day.Of course, if you can stay together for a lifetime, that's a good thing.In this way...you are not alone...]

At the end, Mo Yin subconsciously lowered his voice, but even so, Esdesh still understood Mo Yin's last words.

[If it's just for this reason, you can't, can't you? ] Estes raised his eyebrows and looked at the girl amusedly.

If only for this reason...

[Having said that, but... have you forgotten?I am an undead, maybe one day I will leave.At that time, won't I break the contract? 】

Mo Yin pouted and answered.

I don't know when I will leave you, at that time... what should I do?

【Compared to finding someone who can defeat you... I've been by your side all the time... I think the former can be achieved...】

【Hey, although I don't know what happened in your past (fog), but even if I knew, I can't understand your mood at that time... just like you can't understand the mood of the weak...】

As if recalling that nightmarish scene again, Mo Yin's original upturned mouth returned to its original state.

【……do you know?It is not very difficult to change a person's memory with the power of my realm. 】

Having said that, Mo Yin drifted to Sai Liu's side and continued to speak.

【If possible, I am not willing to use the power of this realm... After a while, when Sai Liu wakes up again, I won't care about fashion and her father...】

【These people will become the weakest existence in her memory...until she can completely let go of their death! 】

【I know—I am selfish in doing so. 】

[But I did it anyway, so, I am a selfish person...]

[There are also night raiders, they are my partners...]

[I can't stop your fight, but I can do my best to keep you all alive. 】

【Live well... This sentence shouldn't be what I, the undead, said, right? 】

【One by one of you—】

Thinking of the heavy casualties of hunters and night raiders in the future, Mo Yin spread his hands helplessly,

[I don’t even cherish my own life, so as your partner, I have to work harder——]

【You can live according to your own will, at worst--】

[I falsified all of your memories, and then let you go on a sea trip together. 】

[Because——I am a vicious undead who tampers with other people's memories without authorization. 】

[It's unlucky for you to meet me. 】

In the end, Mo Yin's body gradually became transparent. The words had come to this point, and there was no need to stay in Hunter.

After all, Tatsumi's strength is far from enough!

Until Mo Yin's figure completely disappeared, Esther pulled down the brim of his hat and laughed lowly.

Calling yourself selfish is just hiding your worries about your partners, right?

What a... awkward kid...

I was lucky to meet you——

Xiaoyin.

Although the girl kept saying that she was selfish, in her opinion, this was just a lame excuse to hide her worry.

After getting along for two years, she already knew exactly what kind of person the girl was.

【You can live according to your own will, at worst--】

[I falsified all of your memories, and then let you go on a sea trip together. 】

When talking about this, the girl's voice is mixed with a trace of expectation. I think this should be the wish of the girl's heart, right?

Wish we were all alive...?

What a... fool.

But... that's not bad.

Thinking of this, Estes looked at the sleeping Sai Liu.

Tampering with memory...?

The author has something to say: finished, my baby is going to sleep, good night everyone
