Ocarina of the Crescent

After a while, Polusalino heard the person on his back mumble, "I didn't cry."

The voice was thin, and it sounded a little unhappy, and because the whole body was on his back, she breathed softly on his ears as soon as she opened her mouth.

At this moment, the two were too close, holding her hand, the palm was warm and soft, the heat penetrated into the skin along the touching position, and spread to the depths of the blood.

What's even more strange is that her breath has an indescribable fragrance, which seems to be absent, but when it brushes her nose, it makes people's hearts sway.

In an instant, Polusalino felt as if the blood in his body was boiling, as if something was about to happen, the beating frequency of his heart was outrageously chaotic, and even his breathing was out of tune.

He paused unconsciously under his feet, he tightened his hands slightly, then loosened them in an instant, forced himself to laugh twice, and coaxed her with a hoarse voice, "Okay, I made a mistake, eh~ Bai Sui, you should be obedient and don't move~ "

"Um--"

She responded vaguely, and then the warmth covering her back became softer, as if she had relaxed, and she no longer tightly grasped his shirt collar, she rested her head lightly on his neck, rubbing against it, Finally curled up quietly.

In less than a minute, Polusalino felt as if he had fought an extremely hard battle. He was almost unable to control himself, and he just smelled her smell. It was really bad~ First he laughed at himself Laugh, then suddenly wake up.

Polusalino frowned, walked forward at a leisurely pace, while tilting his head slightly, quietly looked at the thousand-year-old hundred-year-old on his back from the corner of his eye.

Seeing this, he was stunned again, the person attached to the neck stretched his eyebrows and opened his eyes, it seemed that he had fallen asleep?

She was talking to him half a minute ago, she snorted in the blink of an eye, falling asleep faster than a child!

After thinking about it, he gave up his intention of waking her up, and put his hands up to prevent her from slipping, and then he heard Sakaski whisper, "Polusalino, she smells wrong."

……

While speaking, Sakaski, who was behind, caught up with him in a few steps, and walked to the position beside Polusalino. His eyes stopped on Chitose Baisui, and after a while, there was a little strangeness in his eyes.

"Can't you smell it? She—"

"Yeah~ I've found it." Polusalino lowered his voice and replied softly, "It's a very strange fragrance."

The three of them were walking on the inner corridor of the warship. The strangeness was even more obvious when the space was semi-enclosed. The originally dull and gloomy air was unconsciously filled with a poppy-like taboo smell.

It is different from any kind of spice, and it is not a flower, but a sweet fragrance, strong and wanton, deep and long.

This kind of breath that can make people's blood rush, you can find the source without looking into it carefully.

From thousands of years old.

And it gradually came into being when the three of them left the Bagua living quarters and went to the cafeteria. It seemed to be derived from the ups and downs of emotions, until she fell asleep, and the fragrance was lingering.

Polusalino felt that something was wrong with her before, and now he is even more worried.

The situation of Chitose and Centenary is really weird.

If at the beginning she just became sensitive, her sense of smell was better than usual, and her emotional ups and downs were also more obvious, then by now...she's all wrong!

Compared to her saying that he smelled of ambergris, she herself was weirder.

What's the matter with the whole person like a ripe fruit?

Full of honey juice, it is so sweet that it almost invites people to pounce on it and take a bite.

This kind of situation has never happened before, at least during the time she spent with them, Polusalino didn't find that a thousand years old can attract bees and butterflies.

Seeing Sakalski's face full of surprise, it was the first time that this classmate found something abnormal.

……

"Yeah, that's really weird~" Polusalino glanced at the face that was sleeping in his neck, and then turned his eyes away, "It seems that there is no way to take her to the cafeteria."

After speaking, she shook her head, turned around and started walking again, this time the destination was their living quarters, "In this case, it's not even safe for her to be left alone."

Polusalino only felt a headache, and his speed increased a lot.

Let her sleep alone in the cabin, and she will really have an accident. The number of women in the navy is pitifully small, and there are even fewer women on the warship, and now they are sailing at sea...

Although Brigadier General Triton has always been rigorous in running the army, but the situation is so weird now that thousands of years old, no one can guarantee that any guy with insufficient self-control will not be able to resist the temptation to do something bad.

……

Polusalino and Sakaski walked side by side, and continued to walk forward for a while, the smell floating in the corridor became more and more obvious, as if flowers were blooming all over the mountains and fields in late spring and early summer, and the sweet and soft fragrance was steaming and intoxicating. drunk.

"Qiaoqiu is a little restless." Sakaski said as he took out a ball of fur balls from his pocket, and shook the back of his neck while holding it. "It can't go on like this. Try to wake her up."

Glancing over, Polusalino then found that Sakaski was not alarmist, and the ears of the hairball hanging in the air were stunned.The eyes are round and round, and the pupils are as narrow as the tip of a needle.

With a click, Polusalino shifted his eyes a little, looked around quickly, and accelerated the speed of his feet again, "Go back to the cabin first, so as not to hit someone head-on later."

They are currently in the residential area designated by the Ceylon for Dumuzi and his party. Although it is not as crowded as other areas, there are regular patrols. In case the two sides encounter each other later...

It's better to go back to the cabin first and then make plans.

Hearing this, Sakaski was silent for a few seconds and then nodded without answering. He only picked up the ball and quickened his pace again. He quickly passed Polusalino and walked to the front first.

……

They hurried one after the other, and it took some time to reach the cabin for two people.

Sakalski took the key and opened the door, and he was standing outside the hatch waiting. Polusalino caught up with him in three steps and stepped in. Sakalski, who was waiting outside, followed closely behind. , and then close the door.

It wasn't until he arrived safely that Polusalino let out a sharp breath, paused for a moment, walked to the bed with heavy steps while secretly lucky, and unloaded the thing on his back like luggage with his backhand.

He raised his hand and pulled the quilt to wrap Qiansui Baisui inside with only her head outside, and then pressed the quilt back for her. After that, Polusalino straightened up and began to shake his head and sigh, "It's just terrible."

"What's the matter with this guy?"

Along the way, not to mention Qiuqiu's restlessness, even the two of them were surging with anger and blood.

It's good to be a thousand years old, she slept unconsciously all the way, and at the moment she is still unconsciously curled up in the quilt, rubbing against the pillow, coupled with her slightly blushing face, she looks really dangerous.

Staring at the sleepy but more attractive guy for a while, Polusalino raised his hand and rubbed his forehead heavily, while squinting at Sakaski who was walking towards him from the corner of his eye.

As soon as he entered the cabin, Sakalski went straight to the window without saying a word, and unscrewed the round glass window as quickly as possible to allow the indoor air to circulate.

At this time, the sea breeze from outside blows in, and the cold wind swirls, which slightly relieves the strong fragrance in the room, and also calms down the ball that was casually placed on the cabinet by the window. It's hyper.

……

The two of them stood by the bed together, their eyes fell on the face of the person under the quilt. After a long time, Sakaski leaned over, stretched out his hand, and gently pinched it...

Ten seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute...

Chitose Baisui, whose nose was pinched and unable to breathe, frowned in her sleep, murmured for a while, then stretched out her hand and began to pinch her. As a result, Sakaski remained unmoved and continued to pinch her nose.

After a while, the guy who was harassed/harassed so much opened his eyes in a daze, his eyes were out of focus, and the black and white pupils were slightly steamy, but she didn't speak, she just flattened her mouth and wanted to cry or hum .

Strangely, when she opened her eyes, the fragrance faded a lot, and when the mist in her eyes gradually dispersed, the noisy soft fragrance that filled the room disappeared without a trace.

Sure enough, it was because of falling asleep.

Polusalino and Sakaski looked at each other quickly, and each saw the answer in the other's eyes.

After thinking about it, after Sakaski let go and straightened up and backed away, Polusalino then filled the vacant space, leaned down, approached the person who was obviously still in a state of chaos, slowed down his voice, and asked coaxingly, " Hundred years old, do you know what happened to you?"

She blinked, but the expression in her eyes was still dull, as if she had thought for a long time before she said, "I don't know..."

After finishing speaking, for some reason, the whole face suddenly wrinkled into a ball, and the body wrapped in the quilt began to move slowly, as if something was stuck, "It hurts..."

"Eh?" Polusalino was stunned for a moment, "Where does it hurt?"

"The back—it hurts...it's hot..." She said, wriggling like a caterpillar, turning over with great difficulty, and buried her face in the pillow face down, "It hurts so much~"

After crying for a while, she turned her head to the side again, struggling to reach her shirt collar with her backhand, half of her cheeks had lost their original blood color, showing a kind of paleness.

……

Back... hurts?

After being dazed for a few seconds, Polusalino finally came to his senses, and hastily stretched out his hand to pull down her collar a few centimeters, took a closer look, and took a slight breath.

There was a crimson mark on her back, between the lower neck and the shoulder blades, as if she had been scalded, and the glaring bright red set off the surrounding white and flawless skin, showing a kind of ferocity instead.

And there was no trace of this sudden trace. She had never been injured, and he had seen her back before, so there was no old injury at all.

And...the fingertips touched it gently, and then Polusalino shivered from the high temperature, the area behind her was close to boiling point, no wonder she felt uncomfortable.

"It hurts so much~" she cried when he touched him accidentally, "Bone hurts so much~"

"It hurts~"

Hey!Polusalino hastily withdrew his hand, thought for a while, and reached out to grab her hand again, not letting her scratch it desperately, "Baisui, be good, let's call the doctor right away~"

"Don't cry, don't cry!"

Perhaps because the pain was unbearable, Qiansui Baisui began to struggle while crying. Polusalino was in a hurry, pressing her to prevent her from scratching, and she began to push off the quilt, crying miserably, like a victim The child who is wronged.

……

"Go to the ship's doctor——" Polusalino took the time to pass a glance to Sakalski who was on the side, and turned his gaze to the classmate, but found that the other party's attention was on Chitose, and he didn't seem to hear him at all.

In the next second, as if seeing something incredible, Sakaski's eyes widened slightly, "Behind her..."

Hearing this, Polusalino immediately turned his gaze back, and then he was also stunned.

On the back of a thousand-year-old, the crimson is fading... No, or should I say, it swells to the limit but shrinks, and the dense crimson converges into a thin line, winding and entwining like a living thing, gradually carving out a pattern.

After a while, the entanglement of crimson and red threads stopped, and the originally vague pattern finally took shape; at the same time, as if thousands of years had exhausted all their energy, the whole person relaxed in vain, closed their eyes, and just fell asleep or coma.

The lingering crying sound disappeared, and the room fell into silence again.

After a long while, the dumbfounded Polusalino came back to his senses, his brows were tightly knit together, and he fixedly looked at the back of the thousand-year-old and hundred-year-old, and began to search rapidly in his mind.

The pattern on her back is like a coat of arms, divided into upper and lower parts, the upper part is a flying bird with fluttering wings, but the lower part is decorated with a circle.

The weird circular seal, Polusalino once saw a similar image in an ancient book, and the civilization that has long been lost called it [Yin Yang Fish Picture], which is not used by any ethnic group today.

Thousands of years... the imprint on the back is the family emblem?Or a coat of arms?And why did it appear?She has been inseparable from them for a while, and there is no special situation. Why is there a badge for no reason?

……

Polusalino thought for a long time and still couldn't figure it out, so she had no choice but to suppress her doubts temporarily, pull her shirt back to its original position, then stood up, and gave Sakalski a look.

The two left the bunk bed again and walked to the window.

After standing still, Polusalino took out a cigarette pack from his pocket, wanted to light one for himself, then stretched out his hand to the side, and waited for Sakalski to take out a cigarette pack between his fingers and lit it. Individuals just stand at the vent and smoke quietly.

Then there was a long period of silence between each other, and the cigarettes in the cigarette pack were quickly wiped out one by one.

Until he smoked the cigarette between his fingers until there was only one butt left, Polusalino snuffed it out and threw it out of the window. face, smiling wryly at the ceiling.

After a long while, Sakarski said in a hoarse voice, "Her condition...is it a sign?"

"Yeah~ I think you guessed it right, Sakalski." Polusalino said in a very low voice, almost talking to himself, "The girl sleeping on the bed is only an adult today."

Sensitivity, obvious mood swings, sudden emission of charm fragrance, and tattoos appearing on the back... These signs are probably signs. Even if he can't laugh or cry, Polusalino can only admit that the thousand-year-old hag has always been a child.

It's so strange~

Which ethnic group would be like her, plump and bright on the outside, but jerky and childish on the inside?And why did she suddenly enter adulthood?

……

"Fortunately, I didn't shoot her hastily~" Polusalino shrugged, half laughing at himself and half thankful, "My premonition is indeed quite correct, the fruit is only delicious when it is ripe."

After laughing, he lowered his eyes, and met Sakaski who was staring at him quietly, and then saw the rare expression of the classmate who had always been calm and serious beside him, with a bit of gnawing in his throat amidst the weirdness.

After waiting again, the expressionless Sakaski's eyes twitched slightly, and he said in a muffled voice, "I mean, she's not human, is she? Or not at all?"

"Who knows~" Polusalino spread his hands, casually raised the corners of his mouth, "Is she a pure human being? Is that important? Do you care about that?"

After a short silence, Sakaski turned his face to look at the sleeping person on the other side of the cabin, his eyes slowed down, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was real.

"Ask when she wakes up, and keep an eye on her after finding out the key, so that her breath won't cause trouble to her." The tone of his speech was as cold as usual, but the brows were no longer alienated and indifferent, but faintly revealed Helpless pampering.

"Yeah~ It's better to find a chance for her to check her body." Polusalino said with a smile, "When I arrange a doctor with a tight tongue, that guy doesn't feel very self-conscious, and she definitely doesn't know if I ask her."

Polusalino is not surprised at all about the abnormality of thousands of years old, and what Sakaski can guess from it, let alone worried.

Although his classmate had known each other not long ago, Polusalino knew very well that Sakaski didn't care about bloodlines, and he and he both valued character.

Don't look at Sakaski always bullying Chitose with a blank face, in fact, it is an attitude of recognition.

Just like Polusalino himself, if he doesn't like someone, he doesn't even bother to give alms out of the corner of his eye, let alone get close to tease him shamelessly.

Thousands of years are their companions, the three of them will have to live together for a long time from now on, and in the future they will be able to trust each other behind their backs, and they will not care about each other's background.

Whether she is human or not, as long as she is a thousand years old, it doesn't matter.
