Legends of Runeterra

"Stab~!"

As soon as the two came into contact, golden-red flames suddenly enveloped Ezreal's hands, and a strange and ominous black mist continued to rise from the bandages.

Ezreal was already used to it, and focused on re-bandaging Amumu.

As Ezreal tied bandages on Amumu, a faint sense of comfort quietly emerged in the empty eye sockets of Amumu who was "burned" by the golden and red flames.

This aura full of vitality made Amumu's cold and stiff body feel a kind of warmth that he had never experienced in the tomb.

The reason why the bandage fell off again and again was actually because Amumu wanted to feel the warmth but was too embarrassed to say it directly, so he came up with this stupid method.

Ezreal didn't doubt it the first or second time, but after helping many times, he already understood it, but he also didn't refuse.

Ezreal carefully wrapped the bandages around Amumu, and every time he touched that small body, a faint feeling of sadness welled up in his heart.

According to the traditional funeral ceremony of the ancient Shurima Empire, the buried person would be wrapped in a large amount of linen shroud, so the seemingly short Amumu may actually be even younger than his current appearance.

However, after spending a few days together, I found that this seemingly weird and even scary existence was actually an extremely timid and introverted, yet polite little guy.

Although if it weren't for the jade pendant left by Li En to protect Ezreal's safety, he would have been killed by the curse on the shroud long ago.

But this is an objective thing and will not change based on the thoughts of this kind and introverted little guy.

Ezreal is very clear about this in his heart, so when it comes to Amumu, who is literally a "sticky" little brother, he is helpless and unable to say the words to ask him to leave.

After all, apart from anything else, with this little guy's confused mind, if there really is a meticulous, ambitious person who can do anything to see through his inner loneliness and deceive him as a "friend".

Then, in Shurima, which is now plagued by disasters, many innocent people will probably die again.

From then on, out of compassion and a sense of responsibility in his heart, our great adventurer Ezreal had another little brother in addition to Milio.

"But it's true that I am one of you, the youngest and most promising Fire Elementalist in Isthal, and the other is a bandaged ghost that has existed in the ruins of the ancient Shurima Empire for more than a thousand years!"

Thinking of this inexplicably, a proud smile appeared on Ezreal's lips.

"Ezreal...brother...what...are you laughing at?"

"Oh, nothing, I was just thinking of something happy."

"Happy...things?"

"Yes, I'm very happy to have a little brother like you!"

"I am...very happy too!"

"Hahaha~!"

Ezreal couldn't help laughing at Amumu's silly look, while fixing the last bandage.

"Okay, that's fine now, but for safety's sake, we'd better equip you with a cloak."

"cloak?"

"Wait, let me see where it is..."

Ezreal said this and started searching directly in the storage space that appeared after the Ne'zuk Armguard was upgraded by the forger himself.

"Yes, here, it will be perfect with this cloak!"

A pitch-black cloak was draped over Amumu's head, quickly covering his entire body.

Although it looks a bit strange, it is much better than a mummy that can walk and run.

"How's it going? Do you like it?"

"Well...thank you...Brother Ezreal!"

"You're welcome. Well, it's getting late. I have to finish recording my adventure."

"Okay... big brother."

Amumu sat quietly at a certain distance from the campfire to avoid the curse on his body extinguishing the flames.

Seeing this, Ezreal nodded with satisfaction, and then continued to complete the adventure record of the greatest adventurer.

Amumu stared blankly at the sky. Since the Shurima continent entered winter, although the temperature had only dropped by a few degrees, the stars had already begun to appear.

Then he tightened his cloak and looked at Ezreal, a hint of joy in his empty eyes.

...

"Pah pah pah~!"

"Pah pah pah~!"

"Hmm~! What's wrong again, Amumu? Don't tell me your bandage fell off again?"

Ezreal rubbed his eyes and opened his eyes drowsily, having fallen asleep at some point.

However, what appeared in his eyes was not Amumu's somewhat scary bandaged face, but a gentle and reassuring face.

"Li En! Good brother!!"

With his arms open, Ezreal pounced on Li En without hesitation.

"Bang~!"

"Ouch~!"

“Pah, pah, pah~!”

Ezreal stood up from the sand, spitting out the sand in his mouth.

"No, we haven't seen each other for so long, can't we even hug each other?"

"Okay, but you have to take a shower first."

"Uh...I don't care, sneak attack!"

"Bang~!"

Without even touching the corner of Li En's clothes, Ezreal fell into the sand again, wanting to dirty Li En's clothes as well.

As soon as he raised his head, his eyes met with his new younger brother Amumu.

Ezreal suddenly felt a little embarrassed, but a quarter of a second later, the clever adventurer chose to "take the lead."

"Good Amumu, I gave you a cloak and told you to keep watch, but you didn't even call me when someone came, right?"

"But...Brother Ezreal...this person...has a fiery...aura..."

Amumu raised his bandaged hand and pointed at Li En, then pointed at the place where the jade pendant was placed in Ezreal's arms.

Due to his situation, he still stuttered, but his tone was anxious, and he was obviously worried after being misunderstood.

"Alright, alright, Ezreal, don't blame this little guy. He attacked me at the beginning, but I blocked him."

"Is this...really?"

"Um..."

Amumu nodded. Even though there was a bandage on his face, he clearly looked aggrieved.

“Ahahaha~! Oops, I’m sorry Amumu, I was wrong about you, I apologize!”

"It doesn't matter..."

"Yeah, that's great, you're one of my best little brothers!"

Rubbing Amumu's head, the golden and red flame once again protected Ezreal's palm, and Amumu also comfortably enjoyed the contact of this breath of life.

"You guy..."

"Why, isn't the jade pendant meant to protect me? Can't I do that?"

Ezreal puffed out his chest proudly.

"Okay, feel free to do as you please. It's just that you consumed too much energy. Don't blame me if your defense is not so effective in the future."

"what!?"

"No, my good brother, you know me well. As an adventurer, I am often in the most dangerous places..."

Ezreal, who was tough for less than three seconds, approached Li En with a miserable face.
