non 'typical' big cats

Life hasn’t changed much since Qiya’s return, but he would come to talk to me in his spare time. Of course, because I always follow Illumi to do missions all over the world, such opportunities are actually not many.

"Hey, Hiro, I heard that you are going to Meteor Street with your elder brother in a few days?" The 10-year-old Qi Ya has reached my chin, and he is sitting on the branch of an old tree dangling two legs. The legs look down at me.

"Yeah." I sat under the tree and played with a leaf in my hand, feeling the fine lines on it in a daze.

"Do you know what kind of place that is?" There was a hint of schadenfreude in this kid's voice, but if you listen carefully, you can find a little worry hidden behind it.

"...A place abandoned by God..." I said this sentence unconsciously, and Qi Ya responded after hearing it. Only I knew that what I said just now was not referring to Meteor Street.

"I only heard about it once from my father. In short...the people there are said to be very difficult to mess with." Qi Ya's half-curious and half-scrupulous tone finally aroused my curiosity. To be honest, I feel a little bit about going to that place. Complicated, but this time because Illumi went together so...

"Aren't you worried that Illumi will fail the mission?" Qiya still doesn't know that Ilumi's mission this time is to assassinate a member of a criminal gang in Meteor Street. The code name of this gang is very special. I heard that called a spider.

"...Brother has never missed a shot." Qi Ya replied in a muffled tone with a bit of unwillingness.

"Hehe." I couldn't help laughing, the family's way of getting along has always been very strange, they always dislike each other, but are tightly tied together by invisible fetters.

"Hero, what are you laughing at?!" The silver-haired kitten had a faint tendency to explode, so I quickly said soothingly.

"Okay, don't be angry, I'll blow a song for you." I've been a little restless recently, I picked up the leaf in my hand and blew the familiar tune in my distant memory. After playing it for the first time, even after he disappeared into the dust, he still accompanied me for the rest of my life.

"When the smell of the wind brings sorrow, I still remember your light footsteps.

When raindrops and tears flow, your eyebrows flow in my heart.

It's wind, it's rain, it's sorrow, it's sorrow...

Everything drifts away with the wind, let the storm take it away one by one.

Follow your footsteps, take me away, take me away.

Looking for that beautiful hometown, I miss the taste of the soil in your hometown.

It's joy, it's sadness, it's joy, it's worry...

Everything flows with the water, and the sea gradually submerges.

Follow your footsteps, take me away, take me away.

Find our home of peace, let me lie in your arms and sleep peacefully. "

After playing it once, I hummed a small tune and slowly sang this ballad that has never been erased from my memory. It is impossible to trace who wrote the lyrics, but I wrote it down after I heard it at that time.

"Cut, it's so ugly." The little ghost, who never said what he meant, jumped down from the tree with a pair of red ears and patted his buttocks, preparing to leave.

"I'm going out, don't die until I come back next time." Before he turned around, he said something draggingly, and I finally dismissed him with a smile.

On July 1996, 7, somewhere in the Urubian continent.

Two days ago, Yilumi and I took an airship to a certain small town, but there is no means of transportation from here to the desert outside Meteor Street.

"Ilumi, how long do we have to go?" After walking in the desert for two days, I started to feel bored. It's a good thing that Ilumi's cleanliness can endure two days without taking a shower.

He glanced at me, then pointed ahead after climbing another dune.I climbed up the hill and stood beside him and looked forward. A city that cannot be described in words stands about 2 kilometers away. From this angle, I can see a small door. Its rusty appearance is dirty and broken. Half of the door was buried in the yellow sand.I wiped off my glasses covered by wind and sand, and said with a curled lip.

"Eight million people live here?" Illumi hummed, then slid down the steep slope to find a place to sit down.

"We'll go in at night." After he finished speaking, he ignored me. I opened my mouth and didn't continue talking. Well... this guy is still holding his breath for what happened to me a few days ago.Hmph, just this time, if you don't let me follow, I won't listen to you, bastard Illumi.

I sat down next to him at a distance of one person, covered my face with a silk scarf to shield myself from the whining wind and sand, and closed my eyes without taking off the goggles.Sheba's words before going out still echoed in my ears...

"Hero, this mission is very dangerous, and Illumi objects to your participation." This is the first time I have taken the initiative to go to the Patriarch, especially after I finally figured out some 'misunderstandings' last year, I have almost been avoiding it. Follow the family on their way.

"Master Shiba, I am Master Ilumi's maid, and I am obliged to participate in this mission." The rules set by the Hakkas themselves are the last guarantee for me to participate in this operation.

"Even if you end up dying?" Shiba's reptile-like silver eyes locked on me, making the hairs on my back stand up.

"...Yes." After I said this in a hoarse voice, Shiba didn't make things difficult for me anymore, but told me that he would take care of Ilumi's side, so I was allowed to follow Ilumi to participate in this assassination mission.

Withdrawing my thoughts, listening to the shallow breathing in my ears, I silently recalled the years since I met Illumi... Unknowingly, 6 years have passed, 6 years ago... I was 16 years old when I died that year.

That night, in the 7th district of Meteor Street, the spider base.

Kuroro sat on a box at the back of the hall, with a candle placed on the left and right sides. He slowly turned the pages of the book in his hand. From the surface, no one knew what he was thinking.

"Captain." The blond woman was wearing a white dress. She put aside a cup of steaming coffee and looked down at Kuroro.

"Reina said he would not participate in the next event, he had an argument with Feitan and left."

"Yeah." Kuroro looked up at the blonde woman and said.

"Where's Feitan?"

"He was so angry that he seemed to have gone 'outside'." Kuroro stroked his chin and pondered for a while, Reina was number 8 of the brigade, but his violent and changeable temper was similar to that of Fei Tan of number 2 A fight, so far the number of quarrels and fights between the two has been countless, but...

"No matter what they do, just flip a coin to solve it."

"Yes, Captain."

Meteor Street in July is hotter than outside, and the spiders are all in the stocking period before the start of the new mission. Except for Kurolo, only Reina and Paknotan stay at the base. The assassination is quietly unfolding.

I am not a person with the ability to read, but I have the capital to forcefully follow, even if this cannot get rid of my almost vulnerable defense against those with strong ability to read, so Illumi said to me.

"I only give you one chance." He is the main attacker, and I am in charge of the sneak attack. He gives me one chance. If I fail... I will probably die.

"As a master, you have to have some confidence, Illumi." Before the action, I joked to him, after all, apart from the experience of the previous life, this guy has taught me this skill.

"Don't hesitate at the critical moment, Hiro." For a moment, his brows and eyes overlapped with another person in my memory, and I stared at him blankly, then hummed.

The night is our disguise. I turned into a palm-sized little black cat and firmly grasped Illumi's shoulders as he kept shuttling through the ruins below me. Nian is really a magical thing... for half an hour People who still have a sense of existence before can hardly feel his smell and breath at all. Is this "absolutely"?Illumi said that after my transformation, I also have a 'absolute' effect, so I am a born assassin.

Looking at the man who was swaying forward in front of him, his flamboyant red hair stood on his head, holding a wine bottle in his left hand, he looked like an ordinary drunk.But it was this man who made the aborigines of Meteor Street, who seemed not to be trifled with, stay away as soon as they saw him, as if they were avoiding the plague god.

The death of Meteor Street people happens every day, and it is only when faced with death that it is truly fair.When the man was walking near a relatively remote garbage dump, Illumi made a move...

The most important ability an assassin needs is concealment, because once a shot is made, it must be killed with one hit.Illumi has never missed before, so this time, when he took advantage of the night to sneak towards the man's heart like a ghost... Puff!There was the sound of sharp nails piercing through the muscles, and I was so nervous that I looked at them without blinking...but at the end I saw Illumi's quick steps back and frowning.

The man who was attacked turned his head full of blood, his dark red eyes looked at the black-haired man standing in front of him with a little surprise, and then wiped the blood foam coughed up from his mouth and said.

"You...very good." As if I didn't care about the hole in my left chest, I looked at Illumi Bloody Lin's hand in disbelief, did he miss?impossible!Could it be this red-haired man... Yes, I have heard of this kind of example in my previous life. Some people's hearts don't grow on the left side...

The two quickly entangled each other, and the flying dust blocked my low vision. I smelled the blood in the air... I secretly waited for the signal from Illumi.

"Beep——" the whistle sounded and I started to transform for the second time at a distance of 50 meters from them. The palm-sized black cat turned into a truly ferocious beast under the cover of night, with dark blue eyes... strong and sharp Paws, I am now... I am no longer the weak kitten I was 6 years ago.

40 meters... 30 meters... 10 meters... Faster than the wind, I jumped up in the air, stretched out my claws, and threw myself at the man's back. The weight of several hundred kilograms smashed him to the ground, and I heard the man's pain With a muffled grunt, it was obvious that the nail from Illumi he had suffered before caused him a second injury under my blow.

Don't give him any time to react!I almost completed the continuous actions of transforming into a human being, probing claws, and digging out the heart within 0.5 seconds. Before he died, he turned his head and looked at me. girl clutching a bright red heart.

Throwing away the sticky thing in my hand, I stood up from my kneeling position, raised my eyes and looked in the direction of Illumi...

"Yi...!!" The body's reaction is always faster than the brain. It was many years later that I realized why I did this. After all, I always think that my own life is more important than anything else.

Instead, it was my left hand that blocked Illumi's neck, and it is now moving away from my sight... The blood gushing out from the wrist was extremely hot, dripping drop after drop on Illumi's shocked face superior…

"Hero—!!" The voice roared with anger, is this Illumi calling me?There was blood in front of my eyes... I felt that I was being dragged back by another person tightly strangling my neck, and my blurred vision was fixed on the familiar figure in front of me, until the moment before my brain became hypoxic and fell into a coma, I heard the airship The sound of vibration...

The author has something to say: the song in it was made up by me at random, it all depends on my own YY, haha...
