Akai Shuichi heard footsteps approaching.

Did you come after me so soon?The man sighed softly in his heart, knowing clearly that it was the footsteps of the god of death, his face was still as calm as moonlight.

It seemed that he had lost the gamble of life and death.

For this ending, it is not too difficult to accept, after all, the consequences of losing the bet have been considered beforehand.

Gin did follow the "bait" and stepped into the trap they had prepared in advance.

But everyone, including Shuichi Akai, never imagined that Gin's battle would be so terrifying just for a "Rye" who had a tendency to betray.

——He didn't take at most a few people in each operation as before, but mobilized a large number of troops like never before.

The hidden factory that set the trap was directly blasted into the sky, and the "hunter" who was waiting for the "prey" was frantically hunted down in turn.

A man who can't be deduced according to common sense doesn't mind wasting manpower at all, let alone firepower.

This madness of wanting to burn "Rye" to ashes and burn it into ashes again shocked everyone who saw it, and couldn't help but wonder how much hatred Akai Hideichi has drawn.

The FBI who sneaked into the island country could only retreat in the rain of bullets, and the hunting operation ended in failure.

When asked by the stunned James, "Did you kill their boss or blow up their headquarters", Akai Hideichi could only remain silent.

He doesn't seem to have done anything worthy of Gin biting him...

Help Ketor hide his physical condition?It shouldn't be that serious.

Ah, he got it.

Because he, who was appointed by Gin as an assistant, secretly turned against the researcher who held the secret, and took away the most core research materials of the organization, which was equivalent to slapping Gin heavily in the face.

That man must take revenge, and it is indeed reasonable to catch the traitor who slapped him so hard in the face.

... Even so, Akai Hideyoshi was quite surprised by his own "importance".

The silver mad dog's bite was too tight. Fortunately, he had already handed over the information and important items to his colleagues, so he could safely lure Gin away by himself and cover the evacuation of his colleagues.

Gin also seemed to turn a blind eye to the other fleeing bugs, and just stared at him fiercely.

While Akai Hideichi was thankful that he could make up for some mistakes, he also clearly realized that he might not be able to escape this catastrophe.

When he was covering his companion, he was accidentally shot above his left arm. Gin is an excellent sniper, and this shot was obviously intentionally shot at this position, just to play a cruel game of cat and mouse, and the game Time ends at dawn.

Finally, after almost enough delay, Akai Hideichi hid on the top floor of a building.

Leaning his back against the wall of the rooftop, he tore off a piece of fabric from his clothes, and roughly bandaged the wound on his left hand.

Dawn would come in less than an hour, and all he had left was a gun with, by coincidence, only one bullet left in it.

I can't shoot steadily with my left hand anymore. I can barely shoot with my right hand, but I will die before I shoot. Maybe it's not bad to keep the last bullet for myself.

Even at the end, the man is still making rational judgments.

This undercover operation was generally profitable, and it would not be too regretful to lose his life... However, at the last moment, he still thought of Ketor.

Judging from Gin's attitude of chasing and killing him, Ktor's fate is more than luck.

The silent bet seems to be lost.

Akai Shuichi savored the regret that filled his heart at this moment, which was more depressing than his own imminent death.

The sound of approaching footsteps is so slow, with an inexplicable heaviness, Akai Shuichi identified this as Gin's bad taste, probably because men don't want to be shot in the head from the air, so when they come to the scene in person, they have to create a terrifying and urgent atmosphere. atmosphere.

Of course Akai Shuichi would not be intimidated.

He is still waiting.

Waiting for the moment when the icy figure appeared, he judged whether the last bullet in the gun was fired forward without hesitation, or whether he happily pierced his heart with the regret of failing to fulfill the "equivalent exchange" agreement.

--tread.

--tread.

There is only one last step left.

Akai Hideo raised his eyes, staring sharply at the shadows at the stairs, and silently raised his right hand holding the gun.

"..."

"........."

"K, Thor?"

The FBI, who was ready to fight, suddenly froze, unable to believe their eyes.

It was also because of his extraordinary eyesight that he was able to distinguish the shadow belonging to Ketor from the messy black silhouette at the first time.

The next moment, Akai Hideichi got up reflexively, rushed to the staggering figure, raised his hand to support the man who seemed to fall down, and propped up his cold body as if he had just been fished out of the water.

The first sentence spoken is not "Why are you here", but:

"Hurry up! Gin is about to catch up, I will try to hold him back, but the time may not be too long, you take this opportunity..."

"--Need not."

The red-haired man grabbed his wrist with a backhand, but he only held it tightly for a moment and then let go: "Gin won't come over, we should take this opportunity...the one who escaped is you."

Pushing Akai Shuichi away slowly but firmly, Qianmu waited until his breathing became stable and the burning pain in his lungs as if the air in his lungs had been drained gradually dissipated, before he spoke again: "If you are told to run, you must run. Brain problem?"

"..."

The FBI was a little embarrassed.

"I'm not reconciled to running away in despair, so I just planned a game... I didn't expect it to end like this." Akai Shuichi concealed the real purpose of his adventure, "These are not important, you say...Gin won't come over."

The man's emerald green pupils tightened for a moment, because he quickly found the most likely guess.

His voice was deeper than before: "If you have to suffer a more terrible result because of me, I can't rest in peace even if I die."

"It's a pity, it's still too early for you to rest in peace." Qian Mu chuckled lightly, but the words he said were not very pleasant, "Why didn't you find your nonsense in the past... so much, is now the time for nonsense?"

"If you still want your life and your left hand, leave immediately and roll as far away as possible."

Akai Shuichi also knew that there should be no delay.

He had already wasted one chance to escape, and at the end of the day, Ketor gave him a second chance. If he didn't cherish it, it would cost the lives of two people and ruin the painstaking efforts of his friends.

But he was silent for a moment, his eyes still resting on the inexplicably cold face of the red-haired man.

"How long do I have?"

"Until dawn."

"enough."

Having said so much, Qianmu thought that Akai Shuichi, a bad guy, should go away, but the reason why this bad guy is annoying is because he would make some unexpected actions from time to time, which caught people off guard.

"I'm FBI agent, Akai Shuichi. Since it's not a 'first meeting' relationship, I'll cut to the chase."

The man threw away the last thin layer of camouflage of the hound, revealing the true face underneath. The wolf's eyes firmly recorded everything about the red-haired man, as if he wanted to keep the agreement in this way - to entangle the organized spider web to the point where it was impossible Take the breathing man away and set him free.

In reality, there was no mention of taking the red-haired man away.

Because he knew that it was impossible.

"Alfonso Ketor, it's just your pseudonym. Now, I want to know the real name of the brother who was born and died together. Can you give me your advice, Counselor Ketor?"

"........."

Qian Mu pulled the corner of his mouth reluctantly, almost impatiently saying that enough is enough, how much leisure can you show up when you don't need it, but the FBI's gaze is too scorching, as if he will stay where he is if he doesn't speak.

He compromised.

"Yuan Qianmu. My name is Yuan Qianmu."

"Okay, I'll remember, Qianmu."

Without waiting for Qianmu to speak again, Akai Hideichi used his unshot right hand to remove the necklace he had been wearing all the time—or, in other words, the ring strung together with a chain.

He had always hidden this ring under his collar in the past and never showed it to others. It should be something extremely precious.

When Qian Mu polished the gem of immortality into an ornament, he thought about giving Akai Shuichi a ring, but he gave up this idea after noticing the faint outline under his clothes.

At this time, Qian Mu didn't understand what Akai Xiu's intention was when he took off the necklace that covered the ring and clenched it tightly in his hand.

Until Akai Shuichi looked over again and handed him the necklace in his hand.

"...What do you mean?" Qian Mu was slightly taken aback.

The chain with a low-key color is very ordinary, and there is nothing special about it. What deserves attention is the ring lying quietly in the palm of the man.

The ring itself is made of sterling silver, without complicated patterns, and the design can only be considered simple. The ring size is large, and it looks like a man's style.

However, the ring has been worn as a necklace for many years. Even if it can be seen that someone wipes and maintains it regularly, small wear marks can still be found in the subtle places.

"This is the ring I wanted to give back to my father." Akai Hide said.

"Before my father disappeared, Hideyoshi... ah, it was my younger brother who accidentally lost the ring that my father left at home. I took him and bought a new ring with a similar style. My father didn't notice, so he put it back quietly, but since then, my father has not come back."

"I took the ring with me, and I was going to find my father in the future, return the ring to him, and apologize to him on behalf of Hideyoshi, because we searched for it at the beach for a long time, but we still couldn't find the original one."

--wrong.

There was an unnatural stiffness in Qianmu's expression, as if he had expected what Akai Shuichi wanted to say next, but he couldn't believe it... Who can easily believe it?

He didn't regard Akai Shuichi as a "brother".

Yes, not yet.

Although, even without the tragic consequences of the death of an important character, when Shuichi Akai is really going to be killed by Gin, he will still save his life.

But what "brothers", "family".

——How could it be so simple?

But Akai Shuichi couldn't hear the almost fierce resistance in the red-haired man's heart, he just said firmly according to the true thoughts in his heart:

"There is not enough time this time, and there is no chance to find someone, so I entrust you to keep this ring, Qianmu."

"...Why?"

"Because I still want to see you again, you are still alive." Akai Shuichi said calmly, "Well, safekeeping is actually just an excuse. I'm just worried that you don't want to accept this old gift in return."

"Hui, Li?"

"Didn't you give me a very precious gift? Apart from this, I don't have anything more suitable as a gift in return. If you don't mind that it's a bit crude, well, after all, children's pocket money can't afford such a good one." Ring... If you don't mind, I hope you can accept this blessing from me."

Akai Shuichi's blessing is actually the most suitable blessing for Qianmu at this moment.

He carried the ring that he wanted to return to his father close to his body, hoping that his father, whose life and death were unknown, was still alive, and he could wait until the day when he would return it with his own hands.

Now he gave this ring to Yuan Qianmu, hoping from the bottom of his heart that he would survive and that they would meet again one day.

"I……"

Qian Mu wanted to say that he couldn't ask for it. It didn't mean that he disliked returning the gift, but——

How could it be possible, how could it be given to him with such affection and such a profound meaning?

"Of course you can accept it." Akai Hideo had a smile in his eyes. In the unspeakable solemnity and obscurity, this lightness is precious.

"When I find my father in the future, let Hideyoshi pay for another one. Anyway, that kid can make money by himself now."

Qian Mu's bloodshot eyes stared at him wordlessly, as if to say, is that what I mean?

Hidekazu Akai pretended that he didn't understand, um, he didn't see it.

A ring given to a family member can of course be given to another equally important "family member".

Why didn't Qian Mu understand that if he accepted this gift in return, he would suffer another loss, the loss would be so big that he would lose all his money - so why did he say "again"?

I don't want to charge.

In any case do not want to accept.

but……

After seeing the emotional words in the script that were even more shocking than him and almost collapsed in his mind, he understood.

This feeling is probably called "pleasure".

With his eyes closed, Qian Mu grabbed the necklace at a speed too fast to be caught by the naked eye, and threw it into the windbreaker pocket along with the ring.

"Okay, you can go."

Concise and succinct, full of impatience, Akai Hideyoshi staying one second longer is hurting his heart.

however.

"What will Gin do to you?"

"If he doesn't deal with it, he won't do anything to me."

"Sure?"

"determine."

"I don't really believe it, or I'll take another risk and try to kill him in one fell swoop..."

"...Still talking nonsense, let's go!"

The BOSS who personally came to send the undercover agent on the road was still bubbling with anger, when suddenly the undercover agent who still refused to leave raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder.

"Sorry. Thank you. Take care."

"........."

Qian Mu didn't speak.

The fragments of my heart that had been slightly restored by Belmode were silently assembled into a small piece again because of the return gift in my pocket.

Although there will still be cracks, maybe time will make the cracks disappear.

If he still has time.

Akai Shuichi finally left in a hurry.

And it was almost dawn.

As soon as the long-winded guy disappeared, Qian Mu's stature, which was still able to stand still, seemed to collapse instantly, with several layers of withering and depression.

He stumbled forward a few steps, and just hit the wall on the edge of the roof, barely slid against the wall and sat down.

"Cough, cough cough...cough cough..."

As if choked, Qianmu covered his mouth and coughed for a long while before putting his hands down.

His slightly empty eyes looked towards the sky, and he glimpsed a glimmer of bright sky light, but he didn't look obsessively, and his eyes suddenly turned to the dark wall behind him.

This is also "fate".

The roof where Akai Shuichi hid by accident happened to be the roof where Zhu Fu Jingguang shot himself in the original script.

Perhaps, the wall that was splashed with the blood of the undercover agent at that time was this wall.

"... Chi."

It seems that there is nothing funny, but Qian Mu thinks it is very funny.

He turned sideways slightly, and pressed his palm covered in black and red blood against the wall. Without using any force, a blood mark appeared on the wall.

Qian Mu watched intently the blood beads rolling down, drawing long and narrow traces on the mottled wall, and suddenly smiled softly.

"Zhu Fu...Jing Guang."

"You anxious idiot," he said.

He waited quietly until dawn, and also waited until the two people who went upstairs to look for him together.

When Gin received the order to stop the pursuit, he immediately stopped chasing Shuichi Akai.

The silver-haired man won't ask anything.

He would not ask the reason for the BOSS order, nor would he ask why Belmode was waiting downstairs, with tears on his cold face.

He will not ask why the BOSS is sitting between the red and the black...

That's right, the speckled spots are not blood, but delicate flowers born from the ground.

The man sat in the sea of ​​blood-red flowers, looking up at the clouds that were gilded by the rising sun.

"There are... four more days."

"If you are not busy, just accompany me... relax for a while."

……

For the next four days, Qianmu chose to spend the most relaxed way.

first day.

Zhu Fu, who was recently promoted, woke up and his phone vibrated suddenly. It turned out that he had received an email from a friend.

"Huh? So early?"

Zhu Fu Jingguang was a little strange. Didn't Qian Mu just pass on information not long ago? He thought this guy would delay for another year or a half.

With a bit of resentment towards his friend who lost contact with him, he opened the email without hiding his expectation...

【idiot. 】

Zhu Fu Jingguang: "?"

It seemed that he hadn't woken up, his eyes were a little dazzled, the man rubbed his eyes seriously and vigorously, and looked again.

He just said, it really is a problem of not being awake early in the morning, isn't this "idiot" and there is a sentence missing below——

【Your game is really rubbish. 】

Zhu Fu Jingguang: "?"

Zhu Fu Jingguang: "???"

[It's not that I'm too rubbish, it's that your level is too high, okay? ! 】

【Humph. 】

[...Wait, is this a code to hide information? Is it something that happened on your side, and it is not convenient to pass the message directly? 】

【no. 】

【...Then, don't hit your friend's heart with contact and email! ! ! 】

【Ah. 】

A simple word "heh" expresses someone's disdain and "dare to do it next time".

Zhu Fu Jingguang covered his face, deeply feeling that something was absolutely wrong with Yuan Qianmu, he was probably still dizzy because he didn't eat and had hypoglycemia after waking up in the morning.

In a sense, he guessed right by mistake, but he guessed wrong.

Yuan Qianmu's "something is wrong" is the kind that he never thought of.

[Qianmu, three meals a day must be eaten well, and you can't ignore your body even if you are busy with research. If you are under too much mental pressure, you can send a text message, or you can harass Zero. Zero misses you very much. His side The pressure should be quite high...]

Saying that you can't use your important work mailbox to chat, Zhu Fu Jingguang himself knowingly committed the crime, and sent hundreds of thousands of words in one breath.

Qian Mu probably felt annoyed, so he didn't reply.

It's okay if you don't reply, as long as you read the content and listen to a little persuasion, Zhu Fu Jingguang can feel at ease.

He believed that Qian Mu would read it, for sure.

Qian Mu had indeed finished watching, but immediately put the phone away, and didn't bother to continue harassing Toru Amuro.

He and Belmode went to school and asked Miyano Shiho who was forced to go to school for four days.

Originally, he was supposed to come by himself, but in order to accompany him, Belmode even overcame his dislike of the Miyano couple, so he naturally couldn't refuse.

After arriving at the school, Miyano Shiho was not there.

This kid refused to come to class if he couldn't come to class, and actually played truant directly - I have to say, he was very demeanor like Qianmu back then.

"I'm actually a little relieved... No, for the parents, this is not happy."

"So, you also skipped school? You're not good."

"...It was all a few years ago."

In the end, they were the ones found at the Silver Bullet Institute.

When Miyano Shiho was brought up by Brother Qianmu with a smile, his eyes were wide open, and his indifferent face was slightly deformed, as if he was suddenly knocked out by great joy.

"Brother, Brother Qianmu! Your body...is healed?"

"Yeah, are you more energetic?" Qianmu touched the girl's head with tea hair, and tapped on the dark circles under her eyes that hung around her eyes at a young age, "My little genius, I heard that you haven't gone to the hospital for a month. Class? Huh?"

"Even the tone has recovered, it seems to be true..."

Compared with the appearance he saw last time, there was a huge gap between Brother Qianmu at this time, although he was still a little thin, but at least he was obviously better, and the stone hanging in Miyano Shiho's heart suddenly fell to the ground.

The matter of going to school was directly ignored by her, she was about to ask Qian Mu brother how to quickly overcome the terminal illness problem, when she caught a glimpse of a silent figure, she immediately stopped her voice vigilantly.

Belmode made a simple disguise and looked like an ordinary-looking young woman, but Miyano Shiho was inexplicably afraid of her breath and the way she looked at him.

"It's okay, she's not an outsider, she can say anything." Qian Mu took the little girl's hand with a natural attitude.

With Brother Qianmu in the middle, blocking the woman's gaze, Miyano Shiho felt a little more at ease. Although he was still a little apprehensive, he still chose to believe what Brother Qianmu said, and asked directly: "Brother, your research was successful?"

"Well...it doesn't count, but I found a way." Qian Mu said vaguely.

"That's good! But, I can't help..."

"Nothing. Shiho, it's all thanks to you that I can stand here properly."

"Hey?"

The little girl didn't understand, Qian Mu would never tell her, she quietly went back to the research institute to continue participating in the research, and by mistake, he slightly reduced the price he paid for her violation of the script.

With less burden on his body and the effect of the special medicine that has not disappeared, he was finally able to survive the last few days with a slightly better appearance.

"Anyway... as long as you feel better." After all, he was still a child, Miyano Shiho naively believed the man's lies, and held his hand back slightly awkwardly, "I don't want to go to school."

"Well, no. I'm free during this time, so let's have a good time and play for a few days."

Miyano Shiho: "!"

Another big surprise.

Although she is very greedy for the results that haven't come out in the laboratory, but compared with Qian Mu who hasn't been together for a long time, it must be her brother that is more important.

As for the strange woman next to her - she didn't talk to the woman, and the woman didn't take the initiative to talk to her, just pretend that they didn't exist.

"Where are you going? Let me tell you first, I'm not interested in amusement parks either."

"Shopping? The season is changing, you should buy some new clothes."

"I have enough clothes, why don't I just buy them for you, I'll choose for you!"

"Well, I agree."

The two women have spoken, and the goal has been reached, so Qian Mu has nothing to do with it.

The three of them went to the mall for lunch and spent the whole afternoon shopping.

Of course, the main force of the shopping was two women. As soon as Qian Mu came in, he was arranged to sit in a coffee shop in the shopping mall. He didn't need to leave a single step, and just waited for the clothes that the women thought were most suitable to arrive at home.

"Don't you even need me to pay for the money? When did Zhibao save up a small coffer... Let's save some pocket money for her later."

After shopping and having dinner, I finally headed home with my loot.

Miyano Shiho walked around for a long time, and was already very tired after returning home, but when she found out that Brother Qianmu was planning to go out, she immediately became very nervous: "Brother, where are you going?"

Qian Mu: "It's okay, I just made an appointment with my friends for a drink."

"Rye?" The little girl staying in the research institute didn't know what happened to Rye yet.

"Um... not."

Qian Mu made an appointment with those two people.

Gin is very busy during the day, and it stands to reason that he will be even busier at night, but no matter how busy he is, he will never miss the boss's invitation.

"Have you finished your work? Have you cleared out the traitors? Have you finished arresting the undercover agents? Haven't finished, killed, or captured? Heh, I'm really worthy of the glass of wine brought to you by the BOSS himself."

"...Vermouth, in front of the boss, I don't want to shut you up in other ways."

"Oh, Boss, did I say something? It's just to persuade my busy colleagues to go back to work. It's enough to have me by your side, right?"

"Having you making noise by the side will only make the boss feel tired."

"It's better than you squandering the operation funds all day long, and you have to report the bill again and again to make the boss look annoyed. Boss, I made you tired? Obviously it's Gin who made you irritated, right?"

A small bar, full of murderous intent.

The boss who just wanted to practice bartending: "...No, I'm not tired or irritable. Seeing you makes me feel very happy."

the next day.

Hagiwara Kenji received a call from the insurance company out of nowhere.

At first, he thought it was a fraudulent call, so he called the insurance company a few times after hanging up several times. After a lot of trouble, he finally confirmed that it was true.

Someone bought him an accidental car insurance, and the compensation content is jaw-dropping. It basically means that no matter how many cars he crashes, as long as he is fine, he will be compensated for as many cars as he crashes, and there is also a high damage subsidy.

Hagiwara Kenji: "Wait, let me count how many zeros are in this insured amount?? No, wait a minute, how could there be such a person who will give me a new car insurance if nothing happens? Does this care too much about my survival rate, really? Not a scam???"

The manager of the insurance company said that it was really not. This was a customized plan that was requested by the customer. The question was that the other party offered too much, and the company could not refuse it at all.

"..."

"Uh, I want to ask, is this client's name Yuan Qianmu?"

Day three.

Datehang and Natalie each received a property transfer certificate, a key, and an accompanying book.

The message Natalie received said that this is the key to a villa manor, and the address is attached below. The description said that the manor has a beautiful flower field, which is very suitable for wedding photos, so I will lend it to them as a wedding venue up.

The message that Date Airlines got was only two sentences:

[The wedding gift sent in advance, the address is as follows, so that you don't have to worry about not being able to propose marriage without buying a house every day. 】

【Hurry up. 】

The couple were stunned.

Natalie was especially panicked: "This, is it from Mr. Yuan? It's too expensive, we can't accept it, Hang, you should contact him quickly."

However, Yi Dahang held the message card and murmured: "Okay, Yuan Qianmu, you are so polite to Natalie, when I came, your tone changed 180 degrees... Uh, do I say this every day... "

Fourth day.

Amuro Toru has not received the strange harassing emails yet, but Fa Xiao suddenly contacted him.

"There are traitors in the Metropolitan Police Department. The traitors copied the undercover list from the encrypted information database of the Ministry of Public Security and handed it over to the people in the black organization. Do you know about this?"

"Well, I heard that the traitor's body was discovered a few days ago... However, the undercover list of the Ministry of Public Security should not have fallen into Gin's hands. I only heard that Gin discovered an FBI undercover agent from the organization. , and let it go, there is no other action.”

That FBI is still an "acquaintance", but it doesn't matter.

"... No, the list was leaked, but the memory card was not found in the traitor's home, nor was it on the body. The next morning, Qian Mu sent me some strange messages, and I didn't realize it in time... ... After learning about the traitor in the afternoon, Qianmu only replied that I was fine, and then he couldn't get in touch again."

The amount of information was too much, Toru Amuro failed to respond immediately, and the next sentence that was slightly disturbing gave him a heavy blow to the head.

"...The FBI that escaped was Zhu Xingda? It should be him. Qianmu told me about him. At that time, I suspected that he was an undercover agent. In the end, it turned out to be the case."

"Zhu Xingda has a good relationship with Qianmu. They seem to have been together for a long time because of a mission involving the core secrets of the organization."

Toru Amuro was a little dazed. He, who was very good at intelligence analysis, subconsciously asked the other party.

"Jing, what do you mean, it can't be..."

"...I don't know, Zero, I'm not sure what happened, did Qianmu contact you, did he send you any weird emails?"

When Toru Amuro was about to say no, Furuya Rei's cell phone, which had not been used for a long time, notified that a new mail had arrived.

[I have nothing to give to lucky fools. 】

There is only this sentence in the text, but there is also an audio attachment in the email.

After opening, it is a relatively complete string.

An Shitou heard it, and Zhu Fu Jingguang heard it through the phone.

The instrument played in the audio is bass.

Even the tune is familiar.

During a special psychological training on the eve of graduation from the police academy, the red-haired youth took them to the dormitory to learn to "adjust their mentality", and let the dejected Zhu Fu Jingguang teach them to play bass.

Jiang Gu Ling quickly learned it, and played it well, but the red-haired young man had standard posture and correct finger position, but he couldn't even play the simplest piece of music.

This is the piece that Qian Mu couldn't play correctly.

I don't know how long he practiced behind his back, but until today, he was finally able to avenge his shame and tell the idiot duo who laughed at him back then that he finally learned it.

……

Dark night has fallen.

Qian Mu lightly covered the sleeping little girl with a quilt, opened the door and left, leaving a letter by her bedside before leaving.

Belmode waited for him to come out at the door, hiding all the complicated and frightening emotions under a perfect smile: "Are you going to bartending tonight?"

For the past four days, every night, Qian Mu and Belmode and Gin have a leisurely wine tasting at the bar. The technology of bartending has improved a lot, and the number of wines that can be recognized has also increased.

"Forget it today."

Qian Mu shook his head, the blood that remained on his face a few days ago seemed to be taken away by the ruthless moonlight.

Returning to his pale appearance, he looked at Belmode, and suddenly reached out to her: "Go home?"

"……OK."

The woman took his thin arms.

They returned to the original "home".

The bamboo tube in the courtyard pool is filled with running water, beating rhythmically, inviting the moon to sing.

Facing the moonlight sideways, Qian Mu took out the sapphire necklace that he had polished several times.

"Look, facing the moonlight, you can see the thin red inside."

"It's beautiful, it's the most beautiful necklace I've ever seen."

"So, it's the only one that suits you, and it's the only one that can carry my hopes. May I wear it for you?"

"Of course, mylord."

Qianmu lifted Belmod's blond hair gently, letting the necklace of blessings hang on her chest.

The penultimate gift was also delivered.

He was indeed tired too.

"have a rest……"

"No, it's not time to rest yet."

Silence reigned until much later.

The man who put himself in the darkness slowly said, "Tomorrow..."

He told the woman that tomorrow, he would board a Ferris wheel with a time bomb placed on it.

He needs to confirm one thing, and it will take a short period of time or even longer to confirm a tangible result.

If this result...is bad, he will open the compartment door without hesitation, jump off from the highest point of the Ferris wheel, and when the time comes, he hopes that the woman waiting on the ground can draw the attention of others and let them Thought he was dead.

She also had to be ready to help him escape safely.

"Sure, do you want to confirm it yourself?"

"Yes."

"I understand."

If it turned out to be "bad", she would be desperate to catch him no matter how high the cliff he fell from.

If the result is "good" -

What if it is "good"?Then there is no need to fall?

Women want to know, and some don't want to know.

She just hugged him and said, "I will make the most adequate and perfect preparations, there will be no mistakes, and I won't hurt you, what you want to do..."

"No matter what, I will support you."

"anyway……"

"I am willing."

"Because...you are my favorite child."

Tears wet his skirt, and he hugged back silently, his face as calm as stagnant water was still shrouded in the darkness of the room, only his eyes were scarlet like torches.
