To the eternal you

"Oh, really~ I'm just joking! Why are you so serious!"

Wendy touched the slightly red and swollen cheeks, and made a "hiss-hiss-" throbbing sound, complaining with puffy face.

"It's just that I feel inexplicably angry when I see you like that."

Twalin put on a winter suit at this time, the snow-colored shawl was soft and warm, leaving two feather-like cloaks behind his shoulders, his mature and proud figure was surprisingly persuasive.

Her pretty face was icy cold at the moment, and she responded indifferently to the alcoholic poet who was whimpering in pain.

"Okay, okay, I know I'm sorry for you, so don't be angry, please forgive me this time~"

As if by magic, the red and swollen cheeks recovered, and Wendy leaned forward again, circling around her, amazed again.

"You really look like a human!"

"But why did you choose to become like this? I thought you would become a man or something."

"We have no gender, only the tendency of spiritual memory, and I have considered it. Since we want to sneak into the other party's country, we naturally need to follow the laws of human beings. I found that most human beings will pay more attention to such a beautiful female. A good attitude will not be given priority to doubt."

Twalin stretched his hands and feet, and seemed a little uncomfortable, but it was more or less within his estimation.

"Oh, you're so smart!" Wendy looked more and more satisfied, and clapped her palms: "Then what name are you going to use to enter human society? If you call your real name or Twarin directly, you will be suspected."

"Hmm..." Twarin fell into deep thought, and then looked at him. It was obvious that the guy who was not doing business had already thought of this, and was waiting for himself to ask.

It's just that I don't know how deep the hole he dug, it usually depends on Barbatos' mood, but I'm afraid he will say some strange names after being violently abused by himself.

"Hey, don't be so worried! I think it's better to simply call you Telin? Anyway, there are not so many people who know your name, and it's probably only people in Mond City. I'm afraid the outside world's perception of you is still at four. Guard the wind."

Wendy didn't do what Twalin thought, and he chose some names that would make him laugh in the human world, which could be regarded as his rare serious time throughout the year.

"can."

Twalin is now Miss Tring, although the name is fine as long as it is not insulting to Him, the one who will be troubled by this is the clerk who records the story!

"Hmm~ Then are you planning to go to Liyue now, or go back to Mond City first? My personal suggestion is to go back first. After all, isn't it a pity that you don't visit the city you guard in person?"

"...Then let's go to Mond City first."

Terin narrowed her eyes, and there was a hint of doubt in her sapphire eyes.

Why did Barbatos suddenly become enthusiastic again at this moment? Is there anything in Mond City that deserves to make him so happy?

"Hey~ Beautiful Miss Telin, let's go!"

The bard in the green hat walked ahead, holding a harp, standing on the stone pier, and shouted with a chuckle.

"The night is still very long. I don't want to be with mosquitoes in the wild. As a must-see in Mond City, Angel's Gift will be our best choice!"

Telin just returned a helpless look, and then took the first step in the human body.

This is a very strange feeling. It is different from the sense of security of walking on all fours. Walking on two legs always feels empty, but it is still within the scope of adaptation.

"Speaking of which, why did you become like this?"

"is there a problem?"

"Of course... no! I'm just curious. After all, this appearance is indeed delicate and elegant, so I'm wondering which girl came into your sight."

"...that's a woman dancing a ritual dance by a lake by herself."

Terin's expression didn't change, and Wendy also showed a little comforting smile.

In a sense, Twarin has a certain similarity with that family. The glory he once had was lost with time, and then he became the name of the offender. The girl who can inherit the noble will in that family is named Yula.

——The girl is praying——

"Yura, how about we go have dinner together?"

Long brown hair, with bunny ear hair accessories, and flying goggles under that, the girl's pretty face is filled with a lively and enthusiastic smile.

"Hmph, don't call me in that sweet tone, don't you think I'm an idiot sister who needs to be taken care of by my sister! I'll write down this grudge."

Ice blue hair color, black lace hair accessories in the hair like wave feathers, lavender pupils, looking closely, they are as bright as fireflies at night, delicate cheeks are slightly puffed up, and the tone is arrogant.

Not far from the two of them, a few pedestrians passed by, showing disgusted and hesitant expressions.

"Don't say that! Aren't we friends~ Just treat it as a company. Tonight's Deer Hunter restaurant has fried pork with honey sauce and carrots, and there is a [-]% discount!"

"That has nothing to do with me, and won't you get tired of eating this dish every day? If you don't pay attention to controlling your diet, you will soon gain weight."

"Not really. After all, I have to patrol such a large area every day, and I'm a scout knight, so I need to run around. I can definitely consume the excess nutrients. And after all, I'm not like Yula, who needs to keep fit It's a beautiful dance."

"After all, that was the only relaxing pastime in my childhood... Ahem! Don't change the subject, I really don't know what to say about you, but you are the only scout knight in such a big knight order. In short--next time Let's exchange the investigation route map, it just so happens that my mission has also been issued, and I can patrol for you over there."

Out of the corner of her eye, Yura caught a glimpse of the pedestrian leaving, showing a helpless expression.

The rabbit girl who was concerned just smiled shyly, with her hands behind her back, and her steps were brisk.

"Don't say that, my hard work is nothing compared to Captain Qin."

"Hmph, don't be like that guy, she is just like the head of the group, her good-natured character is really hopeless."

Yura was walking on Umber's right, and they were descending the stairs, the only way from the Knights' headquarters to the deer hunter, while the bunny girl was hopping on one foot, the hair ornament in her hair followed by The movements are swaying, like real rabbit ears.

"Okay, let's think about what to have for dinner instead of this! What is Yura planning to order?"

"...well, a Northland apple ragout with an iced raspberry mint bar."

"So that's it, I remembered it!"

"What do you remember, do you want to secretly add ingredients to my favorite food?"

Amber rolled her eyes in embarrassment, and lightly slapped Yula's arm with her delicate fist, and said coquettishly.

"I wouldn't do that. Didn't you invite me to make homemade egg rolls with tomato jelly before? At that time, I wanted to let you try my craft once in a while."

"Hmph, it's just that I didn't finish eating that day. I thought it would be a pity to lose it. I don't need to worry about it so much."

"That can't be done, your expression now is obviously a look that I can't cook well, the burnt steak last time was just an accident!"

"I almost forgot that you didn't mention this. Sure enough, you just wanted to take the opportunity to cut the food, but I found out that it failed. Instead, you deliberately let it burn. You want me to eat it and get a stomachache."

Yula's guerrilla knight boots made a crisp sound when they stepped on the ground, and the moment the sound fell, a certain bunny girl turned around and stood on tiptoe, her cheek was very close to her, and her eyes were fixed on her.

And at the corner where the stairs were about to fall, there was a potted shrub that just blocked the side view, and the two looked at each other in the shadow.

"No, I don't think so."

"...Okay, okay, I get it! Don't rely on it for so long all of a sudden."

Yula's fair face blushed slightly, and her awkward tone softened at this moment.

"Then why does Yura always talk to me in such a distant tone?...It's clear that I'm trying very hard to be best friends with Yura."

Amber's expression was a little lost, a little absent-minded.

"Is it because of something I did that made you hate it?"

Even if she tells herself that Yura has such a personality, if she always behaves like this, people can't help but worry, isn't she, whether she didn't do well enough, whether she made the other person angry, she doesn't want to have to guess in private Listening to the subtext in Yura's words, she wanted to hear the other party's inner voice.

It was as pure and beautiful as the dance of the waves she saw at the Fruit Wine Lake that day.

"...Sorry, I shouldn't have treated you that way."

There was a trace of panic in Yula's heart. Of course, she didn't put on that appearance on purpose for Amber, it was just... the beating of her heart was about to be uncontrollable.

"Then...can you hold hands with me then?"

Amber held out his hand to her, and with a smile on his face again, his feet turned from standing on tiptoe to falling, just lowering Yura's head.

"Like lovers, arm in arm, go to your favorite restaurant for dinner, chat about the trivial and boring things during patrolling, sigh when you can take a vacation and have a good rest, and then make an appointment for the next time and the place you want to go next time !"

"I want to have such a relationship with Yura, so it doesn't matter if I can't do it now, I will endure it well, and then I will sprint towards you again!"

Is this a confession? Yura's face was flushed, and she didn't tell her the embarrassment and joy that shook her heart. She wanted to accept it, wanted to have that kind of relationship with Amber, but...to go with the son of a sinner It's going to be hard work being that close.

She pursed her lower lip, and a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes. It was the abhorrence of the identity of "Lawrence". Wish to wake up from the dream.

"I...I want to think about it again, don't, don't get me wrong, I just want to investigate and see if you are qualified! Now, you can only be regarded as tentative! Cough, if your performance can't let me If you are satisfied, I will dismiss you without mercy!"

Yula turned her face away, she is not a person who does not yearn for warmth, and beside Amber, she has a more joyful mood than when she is alone, so... she is like inviting a partner at a ball, and she will be as white as Yu handed her hand to the girl.

"Since you voluntarily request to join the sinner's dance, then you can't give up halfway, especially the dance, I will be very strict!"

"Then it's done~ Yula!" Amber held her hand tightly and said with a gentle smile, "Do you still remember our earliest agreement?"

"Compare whoever runs faster, and the loser has to bring lunch for the other party."

"Then change it this time, whoever loses has to pay for the other party's dinner!"

"Hmph, I won't show mercy."

Warmth and coldness do not conflict, their fingertips intertwined, counting down softly together.

"three"

Yura looked at the girl's profile, and the corners of her mouth were drawn upwards slightly.

"two"

Amber stared at each other's clenched hands, couldn't stop smiling, and laughed.

"One"

The two spoke at the same time, and ran at the same time, leaving the shadow of the potted plant, keeping pace with each other, as if even the rhythm of breathing had to be blended.

And behind the backs of the two running away, Noelle covered her small mouth, and a pink halo rose on her delicate and lovely cheeks. It was not until the backs of the two disappeared that she remembered belatedly and moved the potted plants. Walk.

The girl's slender and immature mood is throbbing, maybe it's the joy of witnessing the burning of her love, or maybe it's the joy of the beautiful results brought about by her unintentional actions.

Unknowingly, she thought of a certain young traveler, who quietly staged one scene after another in the fantasy theater filled with roses in her heart.

That night Noelle quietly pinned another rose on the maid's armor. In Mond, the meaning of a rose is to keep one's mouth shut.

This is also one of the important principles of knight maids.

And Noelle believed in it very much, and had also talked with the young traveler about what the roses in her hometown symbolized.

Behold, the roses are extremely bright, with a passion like love, one symbolizes her principles as a maid, and the other is a secret that she and the traveler only know.

When she sees one, she thinks of the other, but... when will she see her again?

After a tiring day, Noelle also put the well-maintained maid armor on the hanger, and the room smelled of girlish deodorant and roses was quiet and serene.

It made Noelle feel a little drowsy, she was lying on the bed, and the book she must read every night was placed on the cabinet.

The cover is a singing purple-haired girl who has been with her for many years.

She lightly stroked the cover, then slid her fingertips lightly, and landed on the rose-red bookmark, opened the book, and then read it carefully.

"The maiden dissipated in the light of that prayer."

"But the witch knows that she has concealed an important secret. When everyone was sad, she returned to the evergreen tree with the seeds of longing."

"Borrowing divine power to shape its body, and finally made a doll the size of a child."

"And planted a seed in her heart."

"..."

The rose girl fell asleep, and the title page of the book stopped at the last few pages.

It was a story that she couldn't help but shed tears after reading it many times. Now at least let her fall asleep with another mood.

In the dream, she and the blond girl traveler were lying on the green grass under the towering tree, with a rose in front of each other's eyes.

Good night, Noelle.
