The Magician of Clow

Chapter 1133 The Promise Renewed Between the Acts

It was another normal day, as usual.
From the girl who visited the hut at night, I learned that the teleportation to Midnight has been prepared, which is just the right time in every sense,
It made Fangran feel that it was Shui Linlang's excuse to predict the follow-up development when he said it would take a few days.

Thinking about the last thing to do before leaving,

Fangran teleported to the Mechanical Micro City where 'You Ye' was located as usual.

"Ling?"

When he unexpectedly made a sound, he found that golden goblin-like figure floating in the air in front of him as if he knew he was coming.

"It's so late, what are you doing here if you don't sleep?"

With her back turned to Fangran, Ling seemed to be adjusting something, her tone was so soft that no emotion could be heard.

"Ah, that's right, Grandma Shui told me today that the teleportation to Midnight is ready,"

Fangran looked at Ling's figure, scratched his head and thought about the reason.

"So before we leave, let me report to you, Ling."

"Are you going to leave tonight?"

"Ah, it seems that there is nothing prepared, it might as well be that I have already prepared."

Thinking back to the night when the crutch turned back into a broken silver dragon tooth a few days ago, Fangran thought of himself who didn't know that Ling would wake up these few days,
But upon hearing his answer, Ling's finger on the virtual button didn't stop,

It's just that the words stopped for a second before they rang again.

"Yes, I see."

Looking at Ling's back, she was slightly surprised, thinking that she would definitely be warned of various precautions in a strict voice, telling how many mysterious and unpredictable characters in Midnight should not be provoked,

None of these appeared, but Fangran felt a little missing.

I was a little disappointed that I couldn't admire the beauty of Her Majesty the Queen before setting off. Fangran saw that Ling was still pressing the buttons quickly,

He turned around and greeted without further interruption, intending to start the space teleportation and leave
"Then Ling, I'm leaving."

But it didn't work out.

In the mechanical city where You Ye's mecha stands, a girl with light blond hair stands behind the young man, raising her hand to grab his clothes.

Fangran turned his head in surprise, and saw Ling's figure with her head lowered slightly behind her,

He didn't float off the ground as usual, and the height difference made him unable to see those light golden eyes, but he could see her biting her lip in a silent unrest,

Fingers grabbing his clothes hard.

"Ah, what's the matter, Her Majesty the Queen?"

After a while of silence, Fangran asked tentatively, but in the middle of speaking, he began to ask and answer himself, scratching his head with a narcissistic smirk:

"Hey! Could it be that you can't bear to part with me? Haha, don't worry. I'm just going to midnight as a related household. I'm not going to any dangerous place. I'll be back soon."

"You don't go"

Then after hearing Ling's slight words, the pretended expression stopped abruptly.

It’s still the queen’s clear voice, but the reluctance, struggle, and embarrassment plus the little girl’s self-willedness, coquettishness, pleading, and pretending to cover up all these as usual,

It constitutes Ling's extremely low-volume discourse at this moment,
It even made Fangran suspect for a moment that he had heard wrong, and said in a daze:
"what"

Hearing that he would be stunned by his tone, the light blond hair lowered his head to cover his eyes,

Typed gibberish meaninglessly, but finally failed to pretend to ignore it.

Let go of the airs you usually get along with, let go of the aura of being an A-level high-ranking Angel You Ye, let go of the shame of saying such things to a young man who is several generations younger than yourself,

Struggling to act, not being the little girl I used to be,
Ling returned to her normal speaking volume and repeated what she had just said.

"Don't go."

This time the complexity of the words was clearly heard, and it was the first time in my impression that Ling spoke to herself like this,
And didn't explain any reason, just such a simple request.

Fangran was about to say something, but was interrupted by Ling's low voice.

"Just stay here, your family, friends, companions, girls you like."

Ling grabbed Fangran, counting all kinds of things in his daily life, and the words she kept kept getting lower and lower.

"All the daily life you wanted in the past is now by your side, and you have been living the life you have today. Don't go to midnight, isn't it good to just stay here?"

"No Ling, what are you talking about, I just went out for a while and will be back soon."

"Don't play dumb, you know what I'm talking about."

Even the usual scolding was gone, Fangran looked at Her Lady Queen who was just grabbing herself, her aura was unprecedentedly slender, and she opened her mouth, not knowing what to say for a while,
In the end, I just thought about it, and said softly with lowered eyes:
"Indeed, the daily life that I wanted to protect in the past is now all by my side, and every day is a happy, lively and interesting life,"

"If I were the same as me two months ago, I would be extremely satisfied."

There is a certain nostalgia in the tone, but after saying this sentence,
"But when I was in Europe before, I slowly discovered it along the way."

Fangran raised a bright chuckle, and a clear smile came from the voice in the words:
"No matter how I cover it up, how I evade it, how I persuade myself with the reason of 'don't fall into the second class again', in the end I can't deny it,"

"I still have something in my heart that I'm eager to do, and I'm excited just thinking about it,"

Recalling the experience in Europe for a moment, the extraordinary things of activating the ability to escape, fight, and execute the plan in the night, and the things found at the end.
Fangran held Ling's hand and loosened his clothes, slowly knelt down, raised his head and smiled,
"A wish to be fulfilled in this one and only life."

Only then did he see Ling's face, and it was indeed a bit embarrassing and worried, and he blinked and asked:
"They are also participants, Ling, you must understand that feeling, right?"

I understand, of course I understand!

As an A-level high-ranking participant, Ling certainly understands the meaning of "wish" to the participants. It is both the starting point and the end point, driving every participant's actions.

Like even if she knows how "willful" and unreasonable her request is at this moment, she puts down her airs, shame, etc. and speaks out,

It is also out of fear that the young man in front of him will disappear one day if he continues like this,

The desire to keep him.

"Speaking of which, after escaping from that frontier town 100 years ago, when I was about to ignore the life and death of the people there,"

"Ling, you can see through it all at once."

In the future sci-fi mechanical micro-city, the young man squatted half-kneeling in front of the girl who didn't look like a girl, and talked about that time with a smile,

She urged herself to do what she wanted to do, not to go against her inner experience.

"I don't know! It's just that I didn't understand anything when I was a child, and I'm not so kind now!"

Times have changed, and this time, the girl wants him to stay.

"I'm an A-level high-ranking wanderer! Selfish, arrogant, unreasonable, my own interests are paramount, other people's life and death have nothing to do with me, I don't care what your wishes are."

As if she was making an excuse for her wanting to force him to stay, Ling looked away, not looking at his stiff tone when he spoke, with a cold expression of indifference and disdain on his delicate face,

Then when Fangran sighed helplessly and stretched out his hand to hug her, he became flustered like a deer.

Holding her back and waist with both hands, the gap between her body disappeared, and the fair skin on Ling's face showed a blush, and she resisted symbolically.
"Don't speak ill of my important people."

Hearing Fangran's words, he couldn't help but get hot.

Being hugged like this, she can no longer say unreasonable words, Ling told herself not to be fooled by such a child's rhetoric, and at the same time she thought bitterly,
This idiot, who is usually a coward, is only so smart at this time.
"However, in order to avoid worrying you, and to prove that I don't care about my daily life anymore,"

"Let's make a new agreement."

Holding his queen in his arms, Fangran made the same promise as he did 100 years ago.

"No matter what happens in the future, I will definitely come back."

Hearing that he even said such words, Ling finally opened her eyes and spoke in a low voice reluctantly.

"No one cares about you."

Fangran smiled silently, then felt the slenderness and softness in his arms, rubbed his cheek against Ling Qian's golden fluffy hair and smiled deliberately:
"Speaking of which, sure enough, Your Lady Queen is very comfortable to hold when you grow up."

The girl who was being held by him just hummed softly and didn't knock him away
　I was very flustered and very uneasy, because I didn’t have confidence in the interestingness of the Midnight plot to be written next, and because the next paragraph was finished, I hadn’t thought about the plot after that, which made me flustered now, and I couldn’t write two. What's more, the grades are dropping again, and I can't sleep well at night. I feel like I'm going to die now. I feel like I'm a piece of garbage now, and I have to write a powerful plot
