Alicia sipped her milk tea and poked her head out from the corner to see:

Sure enough, Mikael was sitting on an iron chair in the hospital corridor, with one hand clenched against his chin, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.

She tiptoed to him and sat down.

"Hmm? Ai Li, you're here."

Aili pouted, "Captain Hen has dealt with everything. The military and police in Brindi City have secretly surrounded Dusk Street. They have even deployed mechas in important areas, but no one is willing to go in. We still have to investigate it ourselves."

"Are you sure that Wei Weiwei didn't slip away during the gap?"

"Sure, there are surveillance cameras in other areas outside Dusk Street. We have checked them all. No suspicious people have been found entering and leaving Dusk Street in the past two days... Oh! Not that there are none, aren't you and Yimer?"

"..."

"Just kidding! Are Yimer and Pado okay?"

"It's okay, Pado was a little frightened, and then... She kept burying her head in my arms, a little short of oxygen, and is now sleeping in the ward... Yimer... His hand was burned by a wax bullet. This bastard, I have to kick him back to the recruit camp when I go back!"

"Puff!" Looking at Mikael's indignant look, Alicia couldn't hold it in for a moment, and covered her mouth and laughed.

"Imer is now... socially dead! After the report you dictated was sent back to the headquarters by Captain Hen, the headquarters criticized Imer by name. Now all the Fire Moths know that they can't ask Imer for grenades, hahaha!"

"Oh, by the way! Mikael, when are you going to show me the other side of your face!"

Alicia pressed Mikael's shoulder and leaned closer to see the other half of Mikael's face.

Mikael turned his head slightly. For the sake of his image, he didn't want Ali to see that half of his face.

"Oh, don't be shy! Let me see it! Just one look!"

When the cold index finger gently stroked the red and swollen cheek, Mikael's body froze.

The soft touch on his shoulder, the faint fragrance that hit his nose, and the blue and pink eyes of the girl that were as bright as gems...

At this moment, it was as if a hand grasped his heart, causing the long and powerful beating to suddenly fill up half a point, and then it accelerated rapidly, like a fine drumbeat.

Then, a stream of heat flowed from his limbs into his mind, and static electricity began to burst from his hot back. When his gray eyes met the two flawless gems, even his pupils trembled unconsciously.

"Hey! Mikael, are you okay? Why are you shaking? Oh! My heart is beating so fast!"

Alicia squinted her eyes, which was obviously normal concern, but it gave Mikael a feeling of knowing the answer.

"Come on, let me take a look, or are you shy?"

She whispered softly in his ear.

But soon, the whisper turned into rolling waves, causing the lake in Mikael's heart to surge, and the narrow sailboat that his heartstrings turned into kept rising and falling between the waves, and was finally sent to a height of hundreds of meters by the reversed waves, and soared into the air.

"Hu..."

Even if he simply exhaled a breath, he exhaled carefully. Given the distance between Alicia and him, it was not difficult to hear the trembling of the breath.

Mikael stopped struggling and let Alicia gently turn his head.

"Puff... Hahaha!"

He knew Alicia would react like this, but what could he do? He could only give her a helpless look at the right time.

Unexpectedly, this innocent feeling inexplicably hit Ali's funny spot, making her laugh even more unscrupulously.

"Hey! Don't make noise in the hospital!"

Mikael reminded softly.

"I'm sorry... Puchi... It's so funny... You're so cute like this!"

Mikael stretched out his hands in vain, letting Alicia lean on him and laugh. He wanted to hug her waist or hold his shoulders, but his hands only lifted a strand of her fluffy hair and rubbed it gently at his fingertips - he thought she wouldn't notice.

And when he closed his eyes helplessly, what popped up in his mind was a face of a dog being torn by a wasp...

Okay, okay... It's swollen, it's funny, as long as Ali is happy.

Not to mention, he was a little happy in his heart when he was praised by Ali for being cute.

After laughing, Mikael suddenly felt a chill on his left cheek, so cold that his teeth were sore, but the pain of the swelling disappeared almost instantly - it turned out that Ali had applied the cup of iced milk tea on his face.

"It's not summer yet, drink less ice..."

Ally was angry and didn't say anything.

Mikael quickly realized that he did have to drink the milk tea, but if it was iced, it could be used to apply to his face.

"Look, let your face melt the ice, then it won't be cold! Eh! It doesn't seem to work, the milk tea will taste too light..."

Alicia stuck out her tongue.

"Fortunately it's just swollen, not burned or disfigured... Eh! No! Mikael, have you used your power to repair the burns? Oh! I didn't realize you care so much about your appearance!"

How could it be possible? In fact, it was just because his Herrscher's physique would not be burned by the wax bullet.

Mikael was about to deny it, but he saw a flash of smile on Alicia's face, and he realized again that it was just Alicia's verbal teasing.

dusk……

It's dusk again.

The sky is burning quietly, but the firelight it emits is not blazing, but warm. It dances through the window of the ward into the corridor, making people unable to stop feeling lazy in their hearts.

If there is another girl as beautiful as a flying flower lying on your body, you gently smell her fragrance, she applies cold milk tea to your swollen face, and takes a sip through a straw from time to time.

When she sips lightly, she is so close, as if she wants to hold you in her arms...

Thinking about it carefully, the distance between the two has been so close more than once, but Mikael always felt that this was an unreal phantom.

Even after so many years, he would still worry that when he woke up he would be back in that cold room, turn on the computer, and look at Alicia through the screen.

Or, when he wakes up, the whole world has been destroyed, leaving him alone facing the endless whiteness of death on the moon...

"Hey! Mikael, what are you doing in a daze? Do you hear me talking again!"

Ellie puffed up her cheeks and poked Mikael's right cheek, which was not swollen, pulling his thoughts back from a more distant place.

"Pado...what are you going to do after this mission is over?"

Ellie calmly raised her left fist, as if she was ready. If Mikael's answer didn't satisfy her, she would just punch him - he could avoid it anyway.

"If she is willing, take her away...but...don't let her come into contact with the Fire Chaser Moth..."

"I knew it! Listen to me, Mikael. This time, you...ah! What did you say! You agreed to take her away! I'll tell you what! You had such a lovely child like Pado, did you have one back then? How cold-blooded to leave her without saying goodbye!”

Mikael sneered twice.

When he came to Twilight Street a few years ago, all he could think about was Ellie...

He once thought that Alicia was the link between him and this world that was so far away and false to him.

But when walking in the world, how can we connect with only one person?

Just like walking on a dirt road in the countryside, no matter how high you roll up your trouser legs and no matter how cautious you step, the soles of your shoes and ankles will inevitably be stained with mud.

Because these are the marks of each life’s existence and cannot be erased at all.

There is no need to say anything more. Even if it affects the development of the plot in the future, it is nothing more than that. In this world where the end is about to come, how bad can the outcome be?

What's more, for a mortal like Pado, when Mikael reunited with her and she put on a flattering smile and called her boss, he almost shed tears and could no longer cruelly leave her on Twilight Street.

But before leaving, he had one more thing to do.

And that person, he doesn't want her to be taken back to the Fire Chaser just yet.

"Hey, were you crying just now?" Ellie suddenly looked at him in confusion, and she had just clearly caught someone sobbing.

"No……"

So they both looked at the door of the ward. Padu was standing there wearing a colorful dress made of sunset. She pursed her lips and tears fell silently, but the corners of her mouth slowly opened in an arc, as if It was a laugh.

I originally wanted to save the manuscript until I go to school on the 15th before evolving into the second update beast, but seeing that half of the new book period has passed, and the plot rhythm of the next few chapters has slowed down for me, I thought I would officially enter the second update beast from today. Update it!

Don’t call me short again! Don't say I'm weak!
