The Devil Priest and the Brave Beautiful Girl

"How are you, Annie."

"This is the third day I came to the castle of the Water Sage Teacher Cavendish. The teacher gets along better than I thought, and he is a very respectable person. Although he didn't say much to me, but His teaching is very useful. Now, I have begun to slowly say words, and when the Ice Phoenix mother comes back, she will definitely be shocked."

"Sila is still learning how to walk. Although she still falls frequently, her speed is much faster than a few days ago. It seems that it is because she has created something on her feet that can make her quickly on the ice. Move. It looks like she hopes to catch the little ice fox today."

"Today the teacher taught me a lot of new things. Although I don’t understand it very well, I have succeeded after hands-on experiments. I don’t know if you have tried it. I used thunder and lightning gems and pure water together, and then heated them. It can produce some very interesting things. The teacher said that it is the magic gem of the lightning system and pure water that reacted with each other, and then split the water into something like air..."

Euses carefully wrote down his learning process and experience in the book in front of him. In the past few days, in addition to basic language learning and vocalization exercises, his favorite thing to do is to communicate with the girl named Annie who only exists in the book "Sister Party".

The reason for this may be just because of curiosity, or perhaps because of loneliness. For Euses, the sister who communicated with him in this book was still the first girl he had consciously talked to with him on an equal angle.

Even if this sister probably doesn't exist, the feeling of talking, discussing, and listening to the voice of the other person's heart still makes him very happy, who couldn't even speak a while ago.

About five minutes later, new writing began to appear on the originally blank pages. Unlike Juss's slightly slanted handwriting, this handwriting is slender and beautiful, with a girlish atmosphere.

"I'm able to communicate with my brother again, Annie is very happy. According to the teacher, Annie also has it. However, they don't seem to like Annie very much. Annie is too stupid when her sister came. She is a very smart and hardworking person. Annie really likes her and hopes she can come back soon."

"Compared with my sister, Annie can't do anything well, and she can't satisfy everyone. Such an Annie is really useless. A child who can't do anything is like Annie. My child. Brother, do you hate a sister like Annie?"

Of course not, Juss shook his head. Then quickly write down his thoughts on the blank pages.

"No, of course not! In this world, there are no useless people. There must be something that only you can do. Don't give up your efforts. Not long ago, I was like that. I couldn't even walk. . But, as long as you don’t give up hope, something good will happen."

After writing in a hurry, Juss looked at the blank page under his handwriting with anxious eyes, looking forward to the other party's reply.

"Thank you, my brother is really gentle. Just as Annie imagined, this is the best gift God gave to Annie. Really, it's really great not to give up. If you give up, there will be no such thing again. It’s time for happiness, so Anne will definitely work harder. Brother, can you listen to Anne singing? This is Anne’s favorite song."

"Before meeting her brother, Annie would always sing when she was not energetic. This is the only thing she can do for Annie who can't do anything well. Even her mother likes Annie's songs very much. I don’t know if you can hear Annie's voice, brother. But this is the song that Annie wants to sing to her brother."

The handwriting ends here. But then, something incredible happened. From the originally silent book, a voice really came. It was like a singing that surpassed the distance of time and space, from far away, I don't know where it came from.

It will not be simply taken away.

That kind of thing is not allowed.

Open your eyes and look at the world firmly.

Don't give up your hope until the last minute.

Whether it is love or destiny, don't simply give up.

Stay strong and hold your chest up.

Don't lie about your mood, just say it if you're afraid.

Don't cry casually, don't stop casually.

Keep going forward.

When you look back, you have embarked on a journey that belongs only to you.

Unlike the soft voice that Euses had in mind for a sickly girl, Annie's singing was full of hope for the future, unlike a song that a sickly girl could sing at all. In this energetic song, what he heard was a heart full of hope for the world, a strong heart full of hope for everything, just like when the chicks first chirped.

After the singing, Euses was silent for a long time, until Anne's slender handwriting appeared again in the book.

Did you hear my song, brother?

I heard it, it was very nice, as if it had entered the soul, it was really a very nice voice. Juses picked up his pen, ready to reply.

He couldn't find a better word to describe his current feelings. In fact, he felt far more than that.

Confidence in life, hope in the future, persistence in oneself. Although it was just a song, what was conveyed from the singing was Annie's innocent, pure heart.

In several other books, there are also several songs, but those are obviously only songs for children. Compared with Annie's song, it's not on the same level at all. Annie's song, like the voice of an angel, is beautiful and full of light. Hidden in that song is a gentle and strong heart.

If he closes his eyes and does not look at the book in front of him, he will definitely not think that this is the sound from the book.

How could the clear singing, the vibrant sound like the first chirping of a chick come from a book!

Even now, Juss still feels unreal. It felt like he really had a younger sister. A frail and sickly sister named Annie.

A shadow even vaguely appeared in his mind. That shadow has a weak body, a strong personality, and admires his brother's heart...

When the pen was about to touch the blank page, something unexpected happened.

"Oh!" Suddenly, it seemed that some door that shouldn't be opened was opened. Some painful memories, some broken pieces, crazily poured out from the door, tearing Juss's heart.

Sister, weak and sickly, strong...sword...blood...some chaotic fragments slipped through Juss's mind, making him feel unprecedented pain.

That kind of pain did not come from the body, but from his inner world, his soul. The originally calm mind, because of this pain, became fragmented like a crystal that had been trampled on.

A name, a figure that no longer exists, a figure whose life was ended by his own hands, appeared in front of him again.

You can't touch it even if you stretch your hand, you can't see clearly even if you look at it, and even if you want to say it, you don't remember it anymore. Even so, this figure still had a huge impact on Euses.

Forgetting everything, returning to the original state, only keeping the dream, the only dream.

However, even at this point, this figure will not disappear. Because she is the saddest dream of Juses, the one who wants to forget but will never forget.

My sister... seemed to understand something, and it seemed that she didn't understand anything. A sad look flashed in Juses' eyes.

"Brother, is my song good?" On the blank page, Annie's handwriting appeared again, seeming to wonder why Euses had not replied.

"It sounds good, Annie." With a pale face, Juss tried very hard to write this simple sentence, and then couldn't write it anymore and closed the book.

It's so painful, why is it so painful? Shouldn't it be a very happy thing to communicate with your sister? Seeing "Sister Party" closed by himself, Juses was at a loss for the first time.

This was the first time he had experienced the unforgettable pain, the pain that seemed to tear his own heart apart.

When did it all start? By the way, it seems from the very beginning, from when he started this "sister" game. From the first time he took his pen to write his first sentence, that feeling appeared vaguely.

Sister, he has no relatives like that. But, why is he in such pain now? Does he have a sister?

Sister, an incredible noun, every time I say it, there is a faint warmth in my heart. When he communicated with his sister named Annie in "Sister Party", he was very happy. But why, such a happy thing, turned into such a painful thing just now?

In the end what happened? Juss could not find the answer. But, just like the song Annie sang, he wouldn't give up so easily.

Let’s continue writing tomorrow. I just listened to Annie's song and haven't praised her well yet. With this feeling, Juses began to work hard to practice the pronunciation of the most basic letters and words.

On the desk, unconsciously, the book titled "Sister Party" turned a new page.
