The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

"Wait a minute!" Mebius frowned, seeming a little unhappy.

She lowered her finger from the corner of her mouth, and then slowly pointed at Alicia.

"If I remember correctly, there is someone who didn't give a gift today, right?"

For a moment, everyone's eyes followed Mebius's slender fingers and turned to Alicia who was clinging to Mikael's side.

"Oh, Mebius! You actually observe so carefully... Well, should I say, are you caring about me? Or are you caring about my Mikael?"

"I……"

Mebius loosened his tie that was in the way, his lips trembling and unable to say a word.

She was killed again.

"Okay, okay, let me cut the cake!"

Mikael took his hand out of Ellie's arms, picked up the knife that had been prepared on the table, and was about to start, but suddenly he put it down as if he thought of something.

"Thank you everyone for taking the time to celebrate my birthday. Then I will also...perform a show, right?"

Mikael stretched out his finger and pointed at the huge cake in the middle of the table.

"hehe……"

He chuckled seemingly casually, and then a few bright golden rays of light suddenly appeared in mid-air. When everyone looked at the cake again, cracks slowly opened on the smooth butter. With a slight wave of his hand, before anyone else noticed that one piece of cake was relatively large, he controlled a dozen cakes to fly into everyone's plates at the same time.

"oh!!!"

A group of people applauded at the right time, but from a certain point of view, Mikael's exposed hand was not too surprising. After all, one thing is well known, Mikael - the Herrscher of the Sky... …

Maybe the real Herrscher of the Sky would be furious to death if he saw his power being used in this way?

Everyone sat down neatly and ate the cake in silence.

This scene may seem a bit inconsistent, but people here and now have no precise perception of it. Even a child like Gracie doesn't find it strange.

The reason is that the Fire Chasing Moth is originally a military organization. Children who grew up in this military organization have never seen normal humans eating and laughing at the same time.

And the "adults" who had seen this scene were not as carefree and joking.

For a moment, the atmosphere became a little heavy, and the air pressure seemed to have increased a bit. Not only was it heavy on people's shoulders, but breathing also became unsmooth.

"Pfft..."

But such a heavy atmosphere was swept away by a sudden chuckle.

After the others dispersed with their own thoughts and knowledge, Alicia still held the cake that was obviously larger than others and smiled silly.

"Is it that funny?"

Without the sight of others, Mikael became a little bolder. He first hesitantly stretched out his hand to touch Ellie's back. After noticing that the other person's muscles were slightly tense, he quickly relaxed, without even a trace. After struggling, Mikael's arms continued to move forward and gradually hugged her waist.

"Hehe! Mikael, I remember last time... Well, that was the time. You didn't allow me to eat too many sweets. Why did you cut such a big cake for me now... Oh, you're like this It makes people very conflicted!”

The smile on Ellie's lips did not diminish. She seemed to have seen Mikael's hesitant response. She was even ready to tease further - "Well... let me think about it, did you give me two people?" A portion? Huh? What do you say? How about two of us eating this portion, and I’ll feed you like Alicia, open your mouth—ah—"

But she was soon disappointed.

Mikael shook his head indifferently, grinning uncontrollably. He seemed to have spent a lot of effort to suppress the urge to laugh out loud: "Ellie, look... um... look at Uncle Hen and Bu Aunt Ranka, did you just tell Gracie that eating too much cake will cause tooth decay, and at the same time, you wanted to give some of your piece to Gracie?"

"Hmm...it seems so..."

Mikael's strange attitude made Aili Xinsheng wary, but also a little puzzled. She sucked her fingers, frowned and looked at Mikael's hands that were wrapped around her waist and covering her belly, and waited quietly. below.

Seeing that Ally failed to understand what he meant immediately, Mikael was a little embarrassed, so, with the intention of letting Ally fully understand, he said again:

"Hmm... Think about it... When we were in the orphanage, every time Celia's mother made butter bread, she would always say, 'If you eat too much of this stuff, you will easily gain weight.' It’s not good for your health, but when we were given it, we wished we could get two more slices each?”

"Well... when you say that, it seems so... but why is it like this?"

Ellie stared blankly down at Mikael's hands, which were trying to move up and down, but hesitated for a long time but made no move, and asked deliberately to cater to him.

Mikael, who had not yet felt the danger, showed a smile of extreme relief and satisfaction, and then said in an elder's tone: "You don't understand this, parents are like this... Oh, yes! Ears, ears! Be gentle! "

After a fierce battle, Mikael gasped and pressed against the wall with his hands raised: "I surrender! Do not torture prisoners!"

"Hmm...you're not allowed to torture prisoners, right..."

Mikael only felt a slight sense of coolness and restraint coming from his wrists and ankles. When he turned around, he saw that the pink crystal had locked his limbs to the wall.

"Um...Ellie, isn't this posture a bit unhealthy?"

"Hmm...but don't you allow me to abuse you?"

Ellie's index finger gently touched her lower lip, and then her hands formed into claws and placed in front of Mikael.

"Wait! This move is-"

"Since abuse is not allowed, then I will make you laugh!"

"Hey! Don't...hahahaha...help...hahahaha...ahhhhhh...hahahahaha..."

Mebius, who was separated by a wall and had his ear pressed against the door, smacked his lips lightly, shrugged his shoulders, and cursed: "It's boring!"

Then she tugged on the tightest shirt on her chest, turned around and left.

And Kevin, Eden, Hua, Ying, Pado, who were also waiting at the door, ready to eavesdrop on what was going on...

After Mebius took the lead, such a large group of people also let out a meaningless lament and dispersed.

Only Kevin scratched his snow-white hair and stayed where he was, a little at a loss.

Suddenly, there was a running ringtone from the cell phone in his pocket, and he immediately covered his pocket guiltily. When the ringtone subsided, Kevin took out his cell phone and took a look -

[Mei]: What are they doing?

[Kevin]: I don’t know, Mikael kept giggling and seemed to have shouted for help?

【plum】:……

…

"Okay, okay...stop, stop, they're gone..."

Mikael lowered his head and his abdomen twitched from time to time, as if he was cramping from laughing.

Ellie took two steps back reluctantly, looking at the series of red marks left on Mikael's neck, and pursed her lips with some lingering thoughts.

"hehe……"

Mikael broke away from the crystal and slid along the wall to sit on the ground. Perhaps because the action just now was too radical, there was no words between the two except for the increasingly heavy breathing.

"Xie'er..."

Mikael suddenly broke the silence.

"You didn't explain to me about Xi'er until now. Don't you think it's a little late?"

Ellie's tone was a little calm, so calm that Mikael was a little confused.

"I didn't mean to hide it from you on purpose about Xi'er."

He took the opportunity of breathing heavily to consider his words: "Some of the things I concealed from you were out of... fear, fear that you would blame me... But there are still some, such as Xi'er's matter, which belong to the 'I don't know' category. how to explain'……"

Mikael thought she would be angry, so he was extra careful in choosing words and sentences. The clinker Ellie knelt directly in front of him and held his head.

"If you don't know how to explain it, just don't explain it yet!"

"ah--"

"I will not force you, Mikael. I will never force you, just like some people's love for you may continue to inspire you to move forward, but I am different. Of course I hope you will be brave enough to Go forward, but if you feel tired and confused, just stay by my side until you have rested and then go on the road, the same thing! In the same way, since you don’t know how to explain to me, I won’t either! Stalker, I believe you will tell me everything frankly one day, right? "

"……certainly!"

Mikael pondered for a long time, and suddenly broke into a bright smile.

"Speaking of which, Ellie, what gift did you prepare for me?"

Mikael looked at her longingly.

"Hmm? So you really care about this!"

Ellie puffed out her cheeks.

"As for the gift...well...let me think about it...Mikael, let's go back [there]? Just go back and take a look."

Mikael's breath froze.

"But I still say that, if you don't want to face it, we won't go."

"No, Ellie."

Mikael held her hand and said, "If it were me alone, I would naturally not want or dare to face it, but if you are by my side..."

First, there was a familiar feeling of dizziness and weightlessness, like a person being pushed into a washing machine and rolled a few times, and then the two of them suddenly stepped on the muddy slush.

Raindrops fell from the sky. I was not careful at first, but was blown by the night wind and fell diagonally on people's faces.

There are several broken walls in front of me. The remaining graffiti on the wall is blurred by the rain, but it can still be seen at a glance that it was written by a child.

Mikael had no recollection of this, probably as the later children did.

The moon in the night sky is not obscured by dark clouds. It is bright and full, reflecting the joys and sorrows on the ground - this is the orphanage of Vostok-51, which was sent out by the Herrscher during the third collapse. of silver bullets flattened the place.

Two water lines slid across Mikael's face, then three, four...

I don't know when the raindrops began to become fuller, and the rain began to become more violent. Mikael raised his head slightly. He could no longer tell whether it was rain or tears on his face, but the raindrops falling with the night sky as the background were just like in his dream. , is pitch black.

Dark, like the sins a person is born with.

But somehow, a big stone quietly fell to the ground in my heart.

The black raindrops hit Mikael's face, slid down his thin cheeks, and finally mixed silently with the snow and mud under his feet.

"Accepting it, sometimes it takes more courage, Mikael."

He was wearing thin clothes, but he didn't feel cold.

After all, there is another person's body temperature, and they are holding each other in their arms and cuddling together, just like they have expected each other for countless days and nights.

"Oh, I thought you were going to cry! She told me all about the way you cried in Mebius's arms!"

Mikael smiled bitterly:

"Ellie, thank you for your gift...am I stronger than before?"

"Actually, you don't have to force yourself to be strong. Remember what I said before. If one day you feel tired and don't want to move forward, you don't have to force yourself. Just stay by my side for a while - no matter how long you want to stay. It’s not too late to hit the road after you’ve rested!”

"Ellie..."

"But the way you look now is indeed a bit beyond my expectation! Although I am a little disappointed that you didn't throw yourself into my arms and cry, but you look strong... Hey, that's pretty good! Hmmmm !I am very satisfied!"

Ai Li's words always make people feel warm and at the same time dumbfounded.

"I……"

Mikael wanted to say something, but he just said the word "I" and didn't know how to speak next.

The words he wanted to say seemed to be blown away by the gentle yet constant night wind and carried to a far away place. They also seemed to be washed away by the rain, leaving no trace in his mind.

Of course, it is more likely that some words do not seem to need to be conveyed in "language".

Yes, they are so familiar with it that they can understand many words without saying them, so... they don't know how to say them.

He even once doubted whether there was only that kind of family relationship between him and Alicia from beginning to end, and not...

"Shh-"

Ai Li saw his embarrassment and seemed to see through his thoughts. She suddenly boldly covered his lips with her hand, then stood up on tiptoes and leaned closer——

"Let me look your eyes in the mirror! Don't move! Don't look away either!"

But even if the moon is bright and clear, what can the pupils illuminate in the dark night?

She pretended to smooth her bangs, letting the fluffy hair lightly scratch Mikael's forehead.

Her hand covering his lips was a little cold, and Mikael could also feel the slight trembling and cold sweat from the nervousness.

Not knowing what came to his mind, Mikael suddenly stretched out his tongue and licked the salty sweat...

Then the pupils of both of them shook slightly, and then their vision gradually became hazy and blurred.

"Idiot Mikael, this is the real birthday present!"

She mustered up the courage to remove the last obstacle in front of their faces, so their cold lips touched each other, and then they became no longer so cold.

The rain soaked both people's bodies, so the hug became warmer.

The air flow from the nostrils glides over the other person's face, like falling raindrops.

But that was undoubtedly the real gift—a silent confession.

The full moon was not obscured by dark clouds, and the clear moonlight was mixed with the raindrops, so there were thousands of silver threads between the sky and the earth, each of which reflected the overlapping figures of young girls.

There is no shortage of misfortune in this world that is dying step by step, but fortunately - at this moment, we can also enjoy such pure, young and ignorant love.

Yes, they have always loved each other deeply from the past to the present.

The title of the previous chapter was wrong, it was supposed to be Birthday (Part 2), and this chapter is the next one... But you can't change it after you send it out...
