Do not sleep

Early in the morning, Mai Mai, who heard the sound of the five tigers retreating outside the door to disturb people's Qingmeng, took Mouri Toshiro by the hand, and walked out of the room that should have been Zong Sanzuo's script without knowing anything.

"Do all the gods wake up so early?" Mai Mai greeted the five tigers with a smile on her face.

Although we didn't talk much on the way here yesterday, Mai knows that Wuhu Tui and the others are not human beings but Sword Fusangshen.

"All? Have you ever seen other gods?" Standing at the door of Yamabuki Kunihiro's room next door, Wuhu raised his hand and was about to knock on the door, but was interrupted by Xiaomai, blinking his eyes, and asked curiously.

"I saw it many years ago. By the way, that god has a nice name. He said his name is Yaoyan." Mai Mai replied with a smile.

Drug research?

Yaken Toshiro?

Akashi｜National Bank's eyes widened in surprise.

5 minutes later, in the courtyard of the central castle.

Mai Mai sat on the rattan chair beside the tea table, facing Wu Hutui.

Sitting next to Mai is Meruem who got up and walked out of the room after hearing the noise, and Mouri Toshiro was sitting beside Meruem playing with his tail.

Akashi｜National Bank sat beside Wu Hutui, lying on the coffee table and didn't know what he was thinking.

It's still early, it's not time for breakfast, and there's no snacks to eat in the kitchen.

So Wuhu Tui made a pot of tea at random and took it to the coffee table in the courtyard. While drinking the tea, he prepared to listen to the story of the past told by Mai, no, it was something about their past.

"..." Akashi｜National Bank squinted.

Can the inclination to go to theaters not be so obvious, the party is still there.

Fortunately, whether it is Mai Mai or Meluam in front of them, they are both less worldly and more open-minded, and they don't think there is anything wrong with Wuhu Tui's sudden hospitality.

Wuhutui wanted to hear about the matter of Yaken Toshiro that Mai Mai had mentioned before, which would inevitably involve some other matters.

It's even a private matter between Xiaomai and Meluam.

But fortunately, neither of them cared.

"I met Master Yaoyan about four or five years ago."

Mai Mai was holding a cup of clear tea. Although her eyes could not see the fresh air swirling upwards from the tea, she could feel the gentle breeze in the courtyard while sitting on the wicker chair in the courtyard.

The wind is gentle, it does not know where it came from, it carries a faint fragrance from afar, and it is connected with a breath of moist water vapor.

Every breath makes people feel peaceful.

Mai also calmed down unknowingly, and slowly said: "At that time, I was poisoned very much, and I was about to die."

"It's not just me who is about to die, but also Melu." Wheat said, looking slightly sideways in the direction of Melu Aim.

"I really felt like I was going to die."

"At that time, I thought, it would be great if Melu could survive."

"What happened at that time, why did you die?" Wu Hu asked with his head tilted back.

"Because I can't find what is really important to me, that's why I almost lost everything." Meluem said flatly.

"?" Wuhu retreated, tilting his head to show that he didn't understand.

However, Mai Mai on the side continued to speak at this time: "Just when I was about to die, Lord Yaoyan appeared."

……

That was a few years ago.

People's memory should naturally diminish with the passage of time, but Xiaomai remembered everything at that time clearly, as if it was vivid in his mind.

What does it feel like to be dying?

Is it dark?

But Mai was born blind, and he was trapped in darkness all his life, unable to extricate himself.

For Mai Mai, the only light in this world is the chessboard from Junyi, and the only opponent on the opposite side of the chessboard can make her feel motivated and keep moving forward...

There used to be many people, but when Mai Mai became the king of military ceremonies, there was only Meluem alone.

They are rivals and confidants.

Even death can't stop them from fighting on the chessboard. It was Maimai's initial expectation to play military ceremonies until death.

The only thing death brings to wheat is a feeling of pity.

It's a pity that we can no longer use military ceremonies.

I really want to play another game. On the chessboard, two people sit opposite each other, and I am satisfied.

Wheat still remembered the game that was thought to be the last moment, and Meluem was already deeply poisoned and unable to make a move.

In a trance, I don't know when a strange breath appeared around me.

The person who came was Yaken Toshiro, a Token Fusangshin, and his name was not known to Xiaomai until a long time later.

Wheat couldn't see what Yaken Toshiro looked like in front of her, but Meluem, who was lying on her lap already weak, could see Yaken Toshiro's face clearly, Meluem asked.

"who are you?"

"I was attracted by the wish of one of you." Yaken Toshiro said in a calm voice.

"Wish?" Wheat gasped lightly.

"A very strong desire, exuding a dazzling golden light." Yaken Toshiro explained softly.

"Can you see our wishes, are you a god?" Mai Mai exclaimed, a little terrified.

"If I were, what do you want to do?" Yaken Toshiro said.

"When I was young, I heard people say that gods can fulfill people's wishes." Mai Mai took a deep breath, lay down on the ground, and said.

"My lord, can you realize my little wish?"

"The little one is not greedy, I just hope you can save Meilu's life."

"If I save him, you will die." A certain thought flashed in Yaken Toshiro's eyes, and he asked softly.

"Don't you want to live?"

"In this world, no one treats the little one better than Meilu. I hope that Meilu can live." Mai said without thinking.

"I don't need human's wishes to save me, you just need to take care of yourself." Although Meluem was already unable to get up, he still rejected Xiaomai's statement.

"I don't believe in gods. Gods only need to save mankind." Meluem said.

"Melu..."

"Shut up." Meluem said.

Yaken Toshiro suddenly laughed when he saw this, and looked up at the sky.

It was a dark night with no end in sight.

Yaken Toshiro seemed to recall something, and the faint aura around him that people dare not approach was suddenly like a spring breeze blowing on his face.

Yaken Toshiro said: "Make a wish to me, I will give you a chance."

"However, I can only grant one wish."

Wheat is a human being, and his body was already weak. At this time, he was dying and passed out.

So the only one who heard Yaken Toshiro's promise was Meruem who was still holding on.

Before Meluem spoke, Yaken Toshiro reminded: "Even if the girl next to you comes back to life, she won't be able to return to a normal life."

"If you want her to live, she will die in the end."

"Why?" Meluem asked.

"Because she should have been infected with the same deadly toxin as the ant king, if she survives, those human researchers will not let her go." Yaoken Fujishiro said.

"Humans, don't they even spare their own kind?" Meluem asked.

"Because they are human beings." Yaoken Fujishiro replied.

"You are a strong man, can't you protect the wheat?" Meluem said.

"I won't stay in this world for long." Yaken Toshiro said.

There was silence for a while.

"What is your wish?" Yaken Toshiro asked patiently again.

"Is everything possible?" Meluem asked.

"Except for bringing the dead back to life, everything else is fine." Yaken Toshiro said.

"...I want to play chess." Meluem's voice was low.

"what?"

"I want to play chess with Mai, and keep playing until I die." Meluem said.

Yaken Toshiro froze for a moment, then suddenly laughed.

"What a cunning wish."

One wish is to save two lives. Who said that although the Ant King is powerful, he owes his emotional intelligence.

Know when necessary.

"Can you make it happen?" Meruam was dying.

"Okay, I have received this wish." Yaken Toshiro said.

As soon as Yaken Toshiro's words fell, Meruem immediately passed out.

When he woke up, Meluam found that he was no longer in the place where he was poisoned and unconscious, but lying in a wilderness place.

Mai Mai was lying beside him, breathing steadily, sleeping peacefully.

Yaken Toshiro was sitting not far from them.

"Although the poison on your body has been cured, but because the poisoning is too deep, there are still some residues. Although it is not life-threatening, the girl next to you will have a hard time." Yaken Fujishiro said.

"wheat?"

"This is the bottom of the great abyss of 'Abyss'. The time and space are somewhat distorted and disordered, so the residual poison on that girl can be frozen."

"As long as you stay here, you are safe."

So Meluem and Mai never left the "Abyss" abyss again.

Until not long ago, there was a loud noise inside "Abyss" one night, and an ethereal voice echoed throughout the entire abyss, the voice asked.

"Do you want to stay in the abyss, or go out."

A sentence was repeated three times, and the entire "Abyss" abyss boiled.

Then two days later, the great abyss of "Abyss" suddenly shook, and the mountains and rivers changed color. When Meruem came back to his senses, the three of them had already appeared in the In a strange wood.

Originally thought that this strange forest was caused by the earthquake of the "Abyss" abyss, so the land from other places was moved here.

Unexpectedly, the five tigers retreated and they broke into the cave to catch the fish thief. Only then did they realize that everything had changed.

……

The memory ends here.

"I saw you quit yesterday, and I realized that we are no longer in 'Abyss'." Mai said with some regret.

"I don't know if the other people in 'Abyss' are okay."

"'Abyss' is now in our Honmaru space." Wuhu Tui said.

"But it's far from here."
