A super traveler in a peaceful world

Under the shadow of the buildings near the hotel, the air is still hot, and the cicadas are still chirping in the distance.

But the people who were supposed to be arguing had already quieted down. Both Bai Yingui and Megumin were staring at An Luo, but An Luo mobilized his brain to actively consider whether he should comfort Bai Yu first or should he comfort Bai Yu first at this time. Explain the meaning of marriage to the two of you.

To be honest, he didn't quite understand why Bai Yu would think that way even though he didn't think about that kind of thing. In other words, what he thought should be the same kind of "shameful" thing that Bai Yu thought about. From a theoretical point of view, it should not be the same concept. things.

But...he really has no way of grasping the thoughts of adolescent girls. They are sensitive, delicate and fragile...Although he had a deep understanding of it in the past, this does not conform to his own logic and is beyond the scope of prediction. The idea still caught him completely off guard.

When none of the four people moved, as if they had been exerted a restraining technique, it was not long in fact, but the time given to An Luo's body sensation was quite long, but in reality it was only three or five seconds, and the brainstorming process was carried out. In the current situation, he made a decision quickly, and at the same time, Bai Yu finally took action.

She glanced at him, then bit her lip without saying a word, turned her head away, and ran directly in the direction she came from.

"——Bai Yu? Wait! Do you listen to my explanation?"

Not understanding what Bai Yu was thinking, An Luo subconsciously wanted to catch up, but Gui grabbed his hand and stared at him with murderous eyes: "Where do you want to run? Explain to me quickly! Is the marriage real? What the hell is going on?!"

"I'll explain it later! Now Bai Yu's side..."

Based on the emotional judgment of both parties, An Luo believed that Bai Yu must have misunderstood a lot, and that he should have received more blows and was still alone, so he planned to give priority to appeasing Bai Yu's side.

But......

"——Don't even think about leaving until you explain clearly! What's wrong with Bai Yu? I'm the one who's hit the hardest! It's not even a month!? You've only been out of my sight for twenty days! What on earth have you done? !" The girl who was still staring at him with a terrifying gaze, her eyes were filled with tears at some point. As if she was afraid that he would run away, she used all her strength and clenched that hand with all her strength. .

"Wait, Kei? Why are you crying? This is not something worth crying about, right? And then..."

"No crying!"

"No, you..."

"No crying!"

The girl with tears in her eyes still stared at him fiercely, firmly denying his judgment.

Although he didn't understand it from a rational perspective, what was there to object to the facts before him? But from a perceptual point of view, I can understand what Kei is thinking, and I am even more aware of how shaken Kei is at this moment.

Under such circumstances, An Luo could only give up looking for Bai Yu for the time being. He sighed slightly and reached out to brush away the tears that overflowed from the girl's eyes, and said: "I will explain it carefully. In short, the marriage is exactly what you thought. It’s different, just calm down first, okay?”

"...Really? You're not lying?"

Not quite believing An Luo's words, the girl hesitated with a choked voice.

"Only in this matter, I won't lie to you, Kei. You may not know that I actually care about you far more than you think, so can you give me a little more trust?"

An Luo gently pinched the girl's face, and while looking back, he used his fingertips to rub the tears that were constantly overflowing from the corners of his eyes. He smiled and comforted her with gentle words, which made the girl forget the reason for crying for a moment, just subconsciously. nodded.

.....This guy was definitely a pretty boy in his previous life, right? So good at coaxing girls? !

Huihui stared blankly at the scene in front of her, and couldn't help but feel convinced that An Luo's career in her previous life must have been a pretty boy... She originally wanted to jump out, but in the end she gave up trying to disrupt the situation at this time.

But in fact, An Luo doesn't really want to use this method, but if the current situation is not like this, it is impossible for Bai Yingui to communicate with him properly, and it is impossible to achieve any practical progress by talking to an emotionally unstable girl. That's just nonsense.

.....But he is in a hurry now, so he can only use a little bit, which is not a good way for him personally. Although this is not a lie, he actually doesn't like this girl very much. Maybe he likes it very much. But he himself would also say it in a way that made him feel ashamed.

In the hotel room.

Bai Yingui, who had calmed down from Bai Yu's impactful speech...On the other hand, she still couldn't calm down. Even without looking in the mirror, she could understand that her face was absolutely red beyond imagination, because... ... Covering her face, she even felt that her face was so hot that it felt a little hot to the touch.

In order to avoid this being discovered, she deliberately looked like she was angry, crossed her arms and turned her back, then said in an unhappy tone: "....Brother Anluo, what's the explanation? What's going on with the marriage?" ?Really?"

"How can it be true?... Although I want to say this, it can also be said to be true on this island, but it can also be said to be false. To be precise, what we are doing is on the island. A unique folk ritual, a butterfly contract."

"I don't understand! Tell me the important point!"

"Yes, yes, I know...the point, um, the point..."

An Luo smiled bitterly and repeated the key words, but had no idea how to say the so-called key points.

How should I explain it properly, or how should I explain this matter clearly... To be honest, even if Kei calmed down, he still didn't have much confidence.

Because he believed that even if he told the truth, Bai Yingui would not believe it. After all, Bai Yu predicted that he would die in the future, so he needed to get married ceremonially to gain kinship on the island. Fortunately, on the day of the accident When a festival is held on the island, you can follow her at critical moments.

.....Don’t tell me whether Kei believes it or not, it’s impossible for a normal person to believe it, right? Even if he himself didn't believe Bai Yu's prophecy at first; even if he said that Bai Yu's predictions about him in the past were accurate, others would probably just think that he was still lying, and it was also a super unreliable lie.

You can always be deceived when you lie, but you can't always be believed when you tell the truth. This feeling really makes him feel aggrieved and depressed.

Of course, he understands that the probability of success of a lie is higher than the truth, and there is nothing he can do about it. Even though a lie needs to be repaired with more lies, there are always loopholes in lies.

But the reality is often more unexpected. The truth of the facts will not change in order to make others believe it. Lies can be carefully woven in a logical manner due to personal needs and in order to make as many people believe it as possible.

The truth can have no logic, but lies can be packaged carefully.

On the basis of understanding these things, An Luo tried to imagine a scene in which he chose to be honest and told the reasons why he entered into Diefan's contract and the meaning of Diefan's contract...

"...Brother Anluo, do you think I am an idiot who can be fooled casually?" The silver-haired girl turned around slowly, her eyes filled with murderous intent that was far greater than before. 】

.....Well, this path doesn't work.

After simply giving up, An Luo chose to hide the unexplainable superpower, and used lies to modify part of the incident. The superpower part turned into Bai Yu's own uneasiness.

The hotel room was quiet, with no other noise except An Luo's narration.

After finishing speaking, Bai Yingui was silent for a long time, then turned around and stared at him in deep thought, saying: "...So, Brother Anluo and Bai Yuyue... fake The reason for getting married is because Senior Bai Yu is very uneasy about the memorial ceremony, so you can't just sit back and ignore your friend's troubles. In fact, you don't have any special relationship, right?"

"Yes, that's it in summary."

"Then why don't you explain it in advance? If you really just want to help your friends out of good intentions, as long as you explain the situation clearly, I won't be able to object!...Probably." At the end of the sentence, even if it was his true nature The kind-hearted Gui could no longer be sure of his own judgment, which made An Luo couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Why is it probably?"

"——Because! Get married or something, otherwise no matter how you think about it, it would be too outrageous! Even if it is fake, it is still outrageous!" Kei patted the sheets and stood up suddenly.

Although An Luo wanted to complain, are you really my mother? But he still didn’t say it, he just sighed: “That’s why I didn’t say it directly. You wouldn’t agree with it anyway, and it would only make you dissatisfied, right? So rather than knowing, I feel like there are some things I still don’t know. It will be better.”

"No! I won't... no... indeed I am dissatisfied, but... well..."

Kei wanted to deny it, but the dissatisfaction she could barely conceal made it difficult for her to deny it, and she became depressed.

"Now that everything is clear, can I go out for a while? I still have to explain Bai Yu's side."

"Wait, I have another question!"

"What?"

".....that......"

After calling An Luo, Bai Yingui did not speak immediately. He even hesitated for a while, then shook his head and took back what he was about to say, and changed his words: "If you and Senior Bai Yu can reconcile, I hope Can you let me talk to her."

"That's it...if I can do it, I'll try my best."

An Luo, who just left such ambiguous words and didn't dare to confirm, quickly walked out of the room, leaving behind the girl who still couldn't let go of the marriage.

Just as he stepped out of the room, Huihui's sigh came from behind: "An Luo, you are really a sinful person."

After leaving the hotel, An Luo went to Naruse's house immediately, but Bai Yu was not here.

Without answering the phone, he could only look for the beach where she often went fishing, but there was still no one there. He also searched all the places where Bai Yu would normally go, but still found nothing. Even Xiao Xiao did not answer the phone. There was also no way to find anyone in the town.

This made him involuntarily choose to search in the mountains and forests, and finally... when the sun began to set, he finally found her in a place where Bai Yu could not have gone.

But this place is an area that normal people on the island would avoid, the sacred domain of the Kongmen family located on the top of the mountain.

On the vast lawn, the girl let the strong wind blow her silver hair into chaos, but she stood in front of the sacred tree in a daze, looking motionless at the big tree that was no different from usual, exuding a huge presence.

No, to be precise, although the sacred tree looks no different from the past on the surface, it actually has an atmosphere that makes An Luo feel very strange.

If he could see the Seven Shadow Butterflies, he would find that there were a large number of butterflies emitting seven colors of light under the setting sun around the sacred tree. These Seven Shadow Butterflies were all summoned by Bai Yu.

"Bai Yu, what are you doing in a place like this?"

The atmosphere he intuitively sensed made An Luo subconsciously alert to his surroundings, and he walked towards Bai Yu carefully.

"...An Luo?"

Bai Yu, who heard the voice, turned around and looked at him subconsciously, but there was no expression on his face, and even his eyes were very empty.

It looked very abnormal, as if he had changed to a certain extent. He looked at him with unfocused eyes and warned: "You can't go any further. Only people with special powers can come here. "

"Special power?"

"Mom must be like this too, she must have gone back in time... to see dad."

"Huh? Back in time?"

"Both my mother and I have this kind of power, so as long as I have this hope, I can go back to the past...I will change the past, and then you don't need to worry."

As he spoke, Bai Yu raised his eyebrows and smiled, but this rare smile made people not feel happy. Instead, they could only feel sad, and even seemed to cry if they were not careful.

If you observe carefully, you can find that her eyes are a little red, obviously she has cried... Because she has a plan to escape from the present, Naruse Miko's bloodline power as a time weaver has affected her, making her mentally Something unusual has happened, and I wish I could go back and start over.

"No, Bai Yu, wait a minute. Your information is too much...or too strange. I don't quite understand it. What do you mean by going back to the past?"

"... Literally, if the past is allowed to happen again, An Luo won't be embarrassed, right? I won't be... sad either."

"Wait a minute, you made a lot of mistakes, I..."

"...It's too late, the person to pick me up has already arrived."

Before An Luo finished speaking, Bai Yu looked in the direction of the big tree again, with his back turned to him and looking at the sacred tree... A group of Seven Shadow Butterflies were swarming towards her.

Although he couldn't see it, An Luo could feel the dense number. He had a hunch that things might become irreversible, so... he stretched out his hand.

The invisible force formed an inverted bowl, instantly locking Bai Yu inside. The swarming butterflies failed to stop and hit the shield. They were all just like ordinary butterflies hitting the wall, making them dizzy and dizzy. dispersed again.

In the end... nothing happened. After several attempts, the gathered Seven Shadow Butterflies realized that they could not break through the shield formed by their personal spiritual power. They wandered for a while and then returned to the Godly Tree. .

A large number of Seven Shadow Butterflies rushed back and forth repeatedly, and their strange and abnormal movements made Bai Yu's eyes regain focus, but they were still at a loss.

Because she could see the Seven Shadow Butterflies but not the power of telekinesis, this scene seemed very weird to her, and at the same time, she had no idea what was going on.

But to ordinary people, this is even more inexplicable, because ordinary people can't see anything...

The dark sky and the twilight covering the earth filled the top of the mountain.

Naruse Baiyu, who had returned to normal and was no longer affected by the power of blood, had turned around again but did not look at An Luo who appeared at the entrance to the divine realm. He just lowered his head wordlessly and planned to walk past him. .

Although she had many questions, she didn't seem to have any intention of talking to him, but An Luo raised his hand to block her, and looked helpless and sighed: "Bai Yu, you are a little kid." Child?"

".....What?"

"Although I don't know what your situation is, you start to escape reality and prepare to erase our friendship. Don't you think it's a bit too much?"

"...I am doing it for your own good..."

Bai Yu always lowered his head, and his weak voice was almost blown away by the strong wind on the top of the mountain.

"Even if you have this idea, you still have the idea that you want to escape. In addition, you should also know that the so-called 'I am doing it for your own good' is mostly based on your own subjectivity and wishful thinking. You’re just imposing your own ideas on others.”

As he spoke, he put his hand on Bai Yu's shoulder and raised her chin to show his seriousness, forcing her to raise her head and look at him.

Just staring at the girl seriously, like the blue eyes of the summer sky, without waiting for her to say anything, An Luo continued: "Of course, I know you are not such a person, so for this kind of person who is too harsh I apologize for saying that. I understand that you must be thinking about me, but you misunderstood. I definitely don’t feel disgusted or shameful about marrying you, nor do I do it out of sympathy or simply. I entered into the Diefan contract for reasons like being a good person and wanting to save you... Anyway, there is absolutely no thought of betrayal that would make you feel."

"....Then, why are you so desperate not to let anyone know?"

Bai Yu, who didn't quite believe An Luo's words, held the hem of the dress tightly, shook his head vigorously to avoid his gaze and then lowered his head. His eyes fell to his feet and his thin eyebrows also lowered. Tears welled up in the corners of his eyes.

The girl's look was very pitiful, making An Luo look like he had given up, and sighed softly: "That's another reason, although I don't want to say it...but as expected, I can only Just tell me."

".....What.....?"

"You have to believe me. Compared with my current reluctance, I don't want to make you sad...Actually, I lied from the beginning."

"Lying?" Bai Yu raised his head slightly, and An Luo showed a self-deprecating smile: "Yes, please let me apologize here. It would be great if you can forgive me. If not... well, I am not qualified either. That’s it.”

Although he was very conflicted about confessing, An Luo also understood that Bai Yu must have felt that his only friend had betrayed him in some way, and that feeling must have been very uncomfortable, and if he wanted to resolve this misunderstanding, he would not say it properly. no.

So even though he was reluctant, he still spoke.

"Actually, my uncles and others didn't force me to drink. I personally liked drinking from the beginning. On the other hand, I often tricked them into drinking with me."

"Huh?...Huh? What??"

The confession was very different from what he had imagined. Bai Yu looked up at him stupidly, unable to turn his head.

At this time, An Luo turned away and looked into the distance, and continued: "One more thing, Huihui's body is actually very good. She can run and jump and she always wants to compete with me for meat every day."

"..."

"But let me make a statement in advance! I never said that there was something wrong with Hui Hui's health. It was your own misunderstanding. It has nothing to do with me! I don't have any obligation. I want to help the guy who tries to backstab me all day long to clear his name, right? "

"You... are bad!"

Bai Yu, who had been waiting for a long time but couldn't say anything, could only say the word "poor". His eyes that were very sad before suddenly turned cold: "Even if you didn't say it at the beginning, you will use the same words to other people later." Doesn't the ambiguous statement mean that it is deliberate? It is no different from saying that she is about to die. After all, if it is not a lie, what does it mean to leave a lifetime of regrets??"
