I don't believe in the will of fire

"Mother-in-law, I'll leave first!"

As night fell, Agate Maru hugged the snacks that he had carefully made in the kitchen today, without looking back, he ran quickly and left the restaurant in a hurry.

"This brat."

Seeing this, Granny Kanna took a deep breath from the pipe in the water, looked up at the stairs, her face was neither sad nor happy, she looked like she had gone through many vicissitudes and was looking down on everything.

After leaving the restaurant, Agatemaru ran to the back of the restaurant in a few steps, where a small boat had been prepared. Agatemaru stuffed the wrapped snacks into his chest, then jumped in, paddled, and followed a hidden path.

Along the river, we soon came to a place like a castle in the air, standing under a house on the water.

He knocked on the bamboo pole supporting the house, and soon received a response. A hole was opened in the wooden floor above his head, and a cute round-faced girl appeared.

"Shh!"

The girl I saw made a silent gesture, then stretched out her hand and pulled Agate Pill down.

When Agatemaru saw the girl, he couldn't hide his happiness. He took out the prepared snacks from his arms and said flatteringly.

"Coral, here you go, this is what I made for you today, it's delicious."

"Thank you, Agate Maru."

The girl named Coral ate in small bites, with such a cute look that the eyes of Onymaru next to her were stunned, and she couldn't move at all.

But at this moment, a drop of tears suddenly fell from the eyes of the girl named Coral. Then, as if some kind of switch was turned on, the girl's tears began to flow continuously, and her voice started to sob.

Agate Maru was startled and was at a loss for a moment. He wanted to comfort him, but he didn't dare to touch Coral's body at all, so he could only speak anxiously.

"What's wrong, Coral, don't cry. Is it because my cooking doesn't taste good?"

"nothing."

The girl named Coral wiped her tears.

"Just because it's so delicious, thank you, Agate Pills!"

"I really hope I can grow up quickly and marry you, Onymaru!"

After saying that, he immediately threw himself into Agate Wan's arms.

This was the first time Agatemaru had such close contact with the girl he liked, and he was so nervous that he didn't know what to do.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a strange movement outside.

Coral's complexion suddenly changed and she said anxiously.

"Get out of here quickly, Onymaru, dad is back."

"I understand, then I will come see you tomorrow."

Agate Maru got into the hole extremely skillfully, and happily rowed the boat away. After Agate Maru left, Coral re-covered the hole that was opened with wooden boards, and covered it up with a layer of carpet.

Until then, she couldn't help but shed tears. At the same time, the door to the room was pushed open, and a man smelling of alcohol and swearing walked in.

"Damn, it was so close. Why are you so unlucky today? I must win it back tomorrow."

He saw the snack in his daughter's hand at a glance, grabbed it, stuffed it into his mouth, ate it in several bites, then salivated, patted his daughter's smooth and delicate face and said.

"Hey, my daughter, Lord Bafang's men will come to take you away tonight. When you get there, you have to make a good living for dad. Dad's future depends on you, do you understand?"

"I know, Dad."

Coral lowered her head and said.

"Be good, this is daddy's good daughter. Hey, daddy will go out first."

After saying that, the man smiled and left the room.

In the eyes of the girl who lowered her head, a few tears fell, but he did not cry. Instead, he walked aside and took out a pair of scissors from the drawer.

She looked at the snacks Agate Maru brought scattered on the floor with sad and desperate eyes.

"I'm sorry, Agate Maru!"

But just when she closed her eyes and was about to pierce her heart with the scissors, a sound like a bell sounded in her ears, exploding in her heart.

"Why commit suicide!!!"

"Since you are not even afraid of death, why not try to resist when faced with your own fate?"

"who!?"

Coral was so frightened that she opened her eyes and looked around, but she didn't see anyone. Just on the open window sill, dozens of white birds appeared at some point, standing there in rows, as if

She looked at her like a messenger sent by the gods.

At this moment, a bird flew in, landed in front of the girl, and then opened its mouth.

A black and sharp kunai fell from the bird's mouth...

——————

"Interesting, I didn't expect to encounter such a thing when I first came here?!"

In the restaurant room, Shenyue, who was sitting at the table, also opened her eyes at this moment.

After hearing Shenyue's words, Mai, who was sitting on the bed, also woke up from her practice and asked curiously.

"Lord Shenyue, what happened?"

Shenyue did not hide anything and told Mai everything she had just seen.

After hearing this, Mai was so moved that there were already tears in her eyes.

"Does Lord Shenyue want to save that girl?"

Shenyue shook her head.

"It's not up to me to save her or not, it's up to her."

"I've given her a chance, it's up to her to see if she can seize it."

"However, this also gave me a revelation. Originally I didn't know how to start this drama, but now the fuse is there."

Although she didn't know what Shenyue was talking about, Mai still asked obediently.

"Then what should we do next? Lord Shenyue?"

"Don't worry, I have already written to Shengshu and the others. After they arrive, we will take action. As for now..."

After saying this, he looked at Mai and took her hand for the first time.

"Let's go, the boatman has been waiting outside for a long time. This must be the first time I go shopping with you!"

——————————

For Onymaru, today was his happiest day. When he returned home and faced the dark room, he felt for the first time that he was no longer alone.

He didn't even eat, so he lay on the bed, hugging himself tightly with both hands, feeling the body temperature and lingering fragrance left by the coral on his clothes, imagining the happy days after the coral became his wife, slowly entering

Dreamed.

But what he didn't notice was that outside the window of his house, white birds appeared one after another, and then gathered together and turned into the shape of the divine moon.

"Illusion: Art of Kasumi Servant"

Then, Agate Maru found that his dream had changed.

Coral, who was originally smiling at him in the dream and saying that she wanted to marry him, suddenly turned into a bloody look and begged him miserably for help.

"Help me, Onyx Maru!!!"

"coral!!!"

Agate Maru woke up from the nightmare and looked around. It was still his own house, it seemed like it was just a dream.

However, it is obviously a dream, but it is so real.

Suddenly, he remembered Coral crying for no reason today.

The uneasiness in his heart made him put on his clothes without any hesitation, drive the boat, and under the cover of the moonlight, sail quickly towards the direction of the coral home.

Soon, he arrived at Coral's home, which was brightly lit.

As usual, he knocked the agreed password on the bamboo pole.

But this time, after waiting for a long time, no one responded.

Just when he was waiting a little anxiously, he suddenly found that his hand had been smeared with something sticky at some point.

Taking a look under the moonlight, he was stunned by the scarlet color.
