[Firefly Forest] Please hold me tight

Grandma Yizi's illness is getting worse, and it seems that time is running out. Yizi's family is going to sell the house and move back to the city after the old man dies.

I was going to buy a house. When I was a child, I thought that it would be great if I could work here when I grew up. In this way, I can see Ah Yin not only in summer, but also in winter, spring and autumn.

It seems good to buy a house now and spend the rest of my life with Ah Yin here.

But I don’t have enough money at the moment, I’m afraid I have to sell my house in Tokyo, but then I’ll have to leave again, and I’m not sure whether Yiko’s house will be sold, I’ll wait until things are confirmed before going back Sell ​​the house.

Looking at Yiko's mother who was busy in the kitchen, I gave up the idea of ​​negotiating to buy a house. The old man has not passed away yet, so it's very unlucky for me to ask this so early.

At night, I can't sleep repeatedly, and I always think about the date with Ah Yin during the day in my mind. It would be great if Ah Yin could show up in front of people.

Jue and Yan Yao didn't come back for several days, and Yizi wanted to accompany her seriously ill grandma, so Ah Yin and I wandered all over the town and the forest of the mountain god.

In the evening, under the setting sun, Ah Yin and I waved our hands and were about to go down the mountain. After walking a few steps, we heard Ah Yin's voice behind us.

"Tomorrow, the summer festival must come!"

Ah Yin put his hands in the shape of a trumpet around his mouth. I smiled and imitated his movements.

"I will definitely come tomorrow! Remember to wear the kimono I bought for you!"

Waving again, I went down the mountain under the watchful eye of Ah Yin.

Back at Yizi's house, I helped Yizi's mother finish dinner, and Yizi's mother took the meal to the hospital to see grandma, and I was the only one at home.

Under the night, I sat alone on the rocking chair in the yard to enjoy the shade, while thinking about the summer festival tomorrow, another firefly flew in the distance, and flew to me again, circling around me.

I stretched out my hand, and as expected it stopped at my fingertips, but this time it was a little different, watching its flickering light made me feel dizzy, and my eyelids drooped heavily.

"Takekawa Hotaru."

There was darkness in front of my eyes, and a gentle male voice came from my ears, which was very familiar... Is it Jue, the mountain god?

The white figure gradually appeared, and the light blue hair fluttered lightly. It was indeed him. No matter how many times I saw him, I was always amazed every time. His beauty made people admire from the bottom of my heart.

"Master Mountain God."

"Seven days, you and Ah Yin had a great time."

I don't understand the tone of his words. Is it regret, joy, or envy?However, he actually remembered it so clearly that seven days have passed since I met Ah Yin.

"Yeah, it's very easy to be with him. Sometimes I think, ah, if only I could go on like this forever, and stay by his side all the time."

"So, do you remember why you came here?"

Original intention?

The original intention of coming here...

The purpose of coming here is to meet Yin again, to find the mountain god to see if there is any way to meet Yin again, but now it seems...

"If the old Yin reappears, but the price is that the current Ah Yin disappears, what choice do you make?"

This question is like a heavy hammer, hitting the heart hard, how to choose?

"Sorry...can't decide, I..."

I can't answer.

When I was extremely embarrassed, I suddenly heard the mountain god Jue chuckle.

"Takekawa Hotaru, you are lucky, you don't have to make a choice."

?

I'm confused, what do you mean?

"I haven't told you what happened back then."

......

Many years ago, when we were young girls, Ah Yin and I participated in the summer festival of monsters. A Yin was afraid that I would get lost, and Ah Yin wanted to hold me all the time, but because Ah Yin would disappear when he met a human being, Ah Yin took out A length of white cloth tied around my wrist at one end and his at the other.

It's not bad to use this instead of holding hands, although my heart is so eager to touch Ah Yin.

That night was my most painful and happiest night.

Because I accidentally bumped into a human child, I saw Ah Yin turn into a firefly little by little, and Ah Yin opened his arms in panic.

"Firefly, I can finally meet you!"

That was our first hug and the last.

The only thing Yin left me was the fox mask full of memories.

However, after leaving that year, many things happened that I don't know.

The mountain god Jue returned to the forest of the mountain god, and listened to the stories about A Yin and I told by the monsters. He is a very kind god, so he used the forbidden technique to save A Yin, and at this time A Yin became A real monster.

The forbidden technique rescued Ah Yin, and also took away all of Ah Yin's memories, making him like a newborn monster.

Jue practiced the forbidden technique many times, and his divine body deteriorated day by day, and I never came to the forest of the mountain god again, and I never came to take away Ah Yin who had become a monster, so he planned to train Ah Yin to become a new mountain god.

A few years later, Ah Yin became the new mountain god, and I set foot on this land again.

Because Ah Yin lost his memory, and I was not the little girl back then, Jue didn't tell me what happened back then, and wanted to wait for things to develop.

He made a little trick to let me meet the current Ah Yin, but at the moment of touching, all Ah Yin's memories flooded one by one, he couldn't bear it, and the mountain god took him away.

After that meeting, Ah Yin's memory became chaotic. Only at night can he gradually remember our past, but once he thinks of the past or as long as he comes into contact with my memory, he will be backlashed by the forbidden law, which is extremely painful .

During the day, Ah Yin couldn’t remember the past, but his memory was often confused, misremembered or forgotten, so in order not to forget, he carved every bit of our day on the stone wall of his residence. They lied to me that the residence of their series of monsters can only be seen by lovers.

At night, Ah Yin can’t remember the day, but he can see the things recorded on the stone wall. He endured the pain and read the bits and pieces on the stone wall. The mountain god helped him release fireflies, and after seeing me at the foot of the mountain, he merged into his body and became his Memory, it turns out that the fireflies every night are the reason, just like his eyes.

"Actually, the current Ah Yin and the past Ah Yin are the same Ah Yin. Although the Ah Yin in the day and night have different memories, they both love you the same."

Before I knew it, I had already burst into tears.

"Because of the backlash of the forbidden technique, Ah Yin can't hold on for long. The only way is to make him a mountain god, so that the backlash disappears, and his memory is normal. He will really become a mountain god after tomorrow's summer festival."

"After becoming a mountain god, his roots are in the forest of the mountain gods. He is prosperous, he is prosperous, and he is damaged. He needs to protect the forest of the mountain gods, so he can't leave the forest of the mountain gods for a long time. In the future, when you return to Tokyo, he can only see you for a long time. One side."

"Takekawa Hotaru, now the facts are told to you, it's up to you what to do."

Jue smiled, and gradually disappeared into the darkness.

I also woke up suddenly, and when I opened my eyes, I saw the ceiling of Yizi's room.

"Really, Ms. Yingdu is too old to take care of herself, yet she just fell asleep outside the house, and she didn't know what dream she had, tears kept flowing."

Yizi's broken thoughts rang in my ears, I touched my face, but found no trace of tears.

"You, what are you touching? Mr. Chiba wiped it clean for you. If it wasn't for Mr. Chiba, I wouldn't know how to carry you back from the house..."

Chiba?

My brain, which was still in shock because of Jue's words, was hit hard again. Why did Qianye come?

I sat up from the bed, but saw a familiar figure coming out of the bathroom, holding a washbasin with a smile on his face.

"I seem to hear you talking about me."
