Chapter 458 [Chapter 2] 20
As if she had been electrocuted for a moment, she suddenly raised her face in his arms, almost hitting his chin.
Munakata Reiji had to lean back a little, looked at her clumsy face covered with tears, and smiled slightly.
"In the ending you know, did Zhou Fang, and I, all die in the end?" He continued to calmly ask the shocking inference he had drawn in a short period of time, and then looked at her picture that had been destroyed by too much pressure. With a face that had gone blank from shock, he felt as if he had already got the answer.
"Ah, is that so? Both of us...are because of our ability to go berserk and the sword of Damocles fall." He asked slowly, and the hand stroking her back continued to slide gently over her bare skin.
"So, we didn't cause another Kagutsu incident, did we? Who killed us before that? Kusanagi? Awashima-kun? Another king?"
Little by little, he clarified the inferences and guesses in his heart, and considered all the possibilities.
Finally, he heard her voice hoarse from crying, and there was a hint of shock in her tone.
"No... I don't know that much, I don't know about your life and death, and I don't know that your sword of Damocles is also in danger of falling..." She said slowly, sounding sad.
"I only know that if I don't intervene according to the task... In the end, the colorless king who was actually killed by me will kill Senior Shishu on the roof of the Hirazaka Building, and then Senior Zhou Fang will replace Shishu To take revenge on Senior Shu, I will kill that evil king again, and then go berserk because of this, causing the sword of Damocles to fall..."
Munakata Reishi supported his head, turned sideways to face her, and listened quietly.The slender fingers of his left hand slowly slid to the back of her head, gently stroking her smooth long hair like smoothing the fur of an restless and anxious cat.
"Mr. Li Si has tried his best to restore the consequences of this incident... He wanted to persuade Senior Zhou Fang, or replace Senior Zhou Fang to kill the evil king... But it was useless. Senior Zhou Fang insisted on doing this by himself. something..."
There was a choke in her voice.
Munakata Rei was silent for a moment, then spoke quietly.
"So, in the end, I was the one who ended Zhou Fang's life the moment before he dropped his sword?"
He saw her blink.She didn't answer him right away, but her eyes were moist and bright with fresh tears welling up.
"Is that so..." He slightly dragged his voice, thought for a while, and nodded.
"... Indeed, like something I would do," he agreed.
She lowered her gaze.
Reji Munakata thought for a moment along this clue.
"So, my Damocles is also unstable because of this, isn't it?" he asked.
"If you add the burden of suppressing the Dresden Stone Slab on your own... and the use of too many abilities when fighting the Green King and confronting the Gray King..." he said thoughtfully , "The consequences are the same as in this world."
He stared at her sad and frustrated face, with a calm smile in his tone.
"...However, speaking of it, in the present world, Zhou Fang has not dropped his sword until now, so it is really troublesome, isn't it?"
Liu Quan:? !
She really raised her head suddenly because of his earth-shattering words.
Munakata Reiji continued with a smile: "Although here he avoided dropping his sword early because he killed the evil king, but...his character that likes to make trouble everywhere has not changed. As the leader of SCEPTER4 who must maintain order and fulfill his obligations Or, just like when I was in Chaowei Middle School, I spent a lot of time, energy and strength just to suppress the troubles that the Red King and the Red Clan brought to me..."
Liu Quan: "..."
There is no need to describe your past of falling in love and killing each other.Don't use that kind of ambiguous tone that you find interesting.
Munakata Reji's performance diverted her attention in an instant, and greatly reduced the fear and sadness she felt.All she felt was a fit of laughter now.
Reiji Munakata continued: "...and because his sword of Damocles is too dangerous, when the Blue Clan had to cooperate with the Silver Clan and the Red Clan to fight against the Green Clan, me and The Silver King didn't even dare to arrange for Zhou Fang himself any tasks that required the use of power—ah, this is really troublesome, and the Silver King is a king without much power, so in the end, he needs to personally I did all the things that went into battle.”
He said this in a tone similar to complaining, but there was a smile in his eyes.
"Maybe it's because of this, frequently using too many abilities, and putting a heavy burden on your sword of Damocles? Although you didn't do anything to kill the king, you still had to witness such a terrible scene in the end—— "
He sighed slightly.
"Really... Looking at the precedent of the King of Gold, I thought at first that I could calmly suppress the power of the stone slab and take care of other things just by myself." With a hint of irony that seems to be true or false.
"In the end, I still can't reach the level of the old monster. I hope that in the world you know, I can do better—"
His voice suddenly stopped, because Liu Quan had already buried his face in his arms again abruptly.
...And this time it seemed as if he had given up on himself, not only did he not hide his crying anymore, but also unscrupulously rubbed his tears—and maybe his snot—on his chest in a mess.
Munakata Reiji seemed a little surprised, as if he hadn't thought that she would suddenly burst out after getting to this point.He stroked the hair on the back of her head and smiled wryly. "...Xinya? Hey, don't cry."
"You've done a good job! Very good! No one else is better than you! No one else has been as tenacious as you from beginning to end to take responsibility for what is yours and what isn't yours, taking over everything, whether it is People who treat you well, or people who have been cruel to you, you...you..." He heard her shouting in such a mess.
"Zhou Fang, Senior Zhou Fang has been violating you, no matter what you propose, he will refuse... You still want to do your best to save him! You said that you are willing to kill the evil colorless king for him! And... ...and that guy named Eric or something, wearing a hoodie with long hair covering his eyes, he... He didn't die in the world I know, but joined the Red Clan... Later, he His body was taken over by that evil king. When you braved the debris caused by the explosion to save him, he took the opportunity to stab you! But you saved him in the end and did not leave him where he was Wait to die..."
Tears criss-crossed on her face, a kind of unspeakable sadness and joy, also intertwined and rolled back and forth in her heart, as if to set off her internal organs.
For a long time, I have been tossing around in different worlds, shouldering difficult tasks that I can't complete, facing life and death, betting on my life, even when I am afraid, lonely, weak, and want to rely on someone. Unable to cry loudly - this accumulated vulnerability and bitterness finally reached a critical point.
Her heart was full of sympathy and resentment for his original fate, admiration and admiration for his character and will, gratitude for the fact that he survived the brink of death, and deep fear that she almost lost this person; So many memories and so many emotions were mixed together, forming a huge emotion and power, which rolled and surged in her chest, and made her strength that had been tensed to the limit, but still needed to persevere to the end, suddenly completely collapse.
…Because I feel that beside this person, I no longer have to face the huge pressure and heavy responsibility of saving the whole world alone, because this person has the same goals and aspirations as her, and is a hundred times stronger than her , a hundred times wiser than her, a hundred times braver than her, and want to save the world more than her.
Is it because I deeply know that even if I can no longer stay here, even if I leave, I can trust and trust this person in front of me, right?
She buried her face deeper into his arms, trying to muffle the sound of her embarrassingly loud weeping.
Amidst her cries, his silence stood out.
...What, what about the promised [warm and romantic morning afterward]?In the end, it turned out that she was crying and crying, and she was about to scare the male protagonist away. Is it realistic...
Between crying, such self-deprecating thoughts flashed through her mind blankly.But when she was crying and loathing herself, she suddenly heard him speak.
"...It's okay." Reji Munakata said suddenly.
Liu Quan:? !
Like a cat, Munakata Reji pinched the back of her neck and forcibly pulled her face wet from crying out of his arms. Then, under the gaze of her bewildered expression, he unexpectedly held her in both hands. Covering her face, he gently pressed his forehead against hers, and slowly laughed in a low voice.
The author has something to say:
February 12:
Ah, speaking of which, the conversation between the director of this chapter and the girl about "another ending" is a subtle obsession of the author.
