Sweet daily life of Little Tanuki and Qin Che in Love and Deep Space

You considered many possibilities, but you never imagined that the truth behind the missing gemstone would be like this!?

Mephisto flapped its wings and landed on Qin Che's shoulder, a dazzling dark red light shining from its beak.

"Wow! Xiaomei, you're amazing!!!" You look up at the sky and see a huge crow's nest on the towering power lines.

Of course, there were also a few angry crows circling overhead.

"quack--!!"

"Gaa ...

"Tsk tsk tsk, those were really harsh words." You shook your head, not forgetting to shower Xiaomei with compliments, "Our Xiaomei is so great! Are those your friends? Why don't you go over and say a few words of comfort to them later?"

"It's a pity, it seems they're no longer friends." Qin Che retorted ruthlessly.

The gem fell from Mephistopheles' mouth into your palm, but unfortunately it had already shattered into two pieces.

They nestled together, their cracks fitting together perfectly.

"It was probably caused by the attack from the wandering creatures." You said, looking at the two halves of the gem with a hint of heartache. "Such a mysterious and legendary gem, after going through so many twists and turns, its ending is 'destroyed by the wandering creatures,' it's a bit of a shame..."

Qin Che stepped forward and grasped the hand holding the gem: "You can also write a new story for it. For example, far away from the struggle for power and bloodshed, the gem, with the help of a hunter... lived a peaceful life it had never known before."

"Compared to its past, this story does indeed seem like a perfect ending to a beautiful fairy tale. However, I have a better idea now."

You pull out a pair of bracelets from the pile of "souvenirs" in your bag.

"I was just thinking that these two bracelets are a bit bare and lack decoration. Perfect, Qin Che, you must know some master jewelers, why don't you have him do it? We can each put half a gemstone in the bracelet, wouldn't that be perfect?"

"Have you thought this through? This gem represents misfortune and a curse. Aren't you afraid to wear it like this?" Even though he said that, Qin Che still took the bracelet and the gem.

Then a dark light flashed in his palm, and the two halves of the gemstone were each embedded in the bracelet.

"As expected of the most practical evol, I didn't know you had this trick up your sleeve." You said with a look of surprise.

Qin Che chuckled, and then you continued, "After what happened in Tar City, do you think I would still be afraid of any misfortune or curse? For me, as long as I'm not separated from you, nothing else matters."

As you spoke, you put your own ring on your wrist: "Look, we now share half the curse, either we live together or we die together. It's good, better than before."

"To live and die together, that doesn't seem like a curse." Qin Che lowered his eyes, his garnet-red pupils clearly reflecting your face.

Night fell as dark as ink, and the whistling wind, carrying a chill, swept past our ears.

Qin Che fastened his bracelet to his wrist.

When he looked up again, he thought you might tear up again because it stirred up some memories for you.

Unfortunately, he guessed wrong this time.

His eyes, which bore his image, were filled only with laughter.

Yes, we should laugh.

After all, if it could truly bind people together forever, then the curse might be a demon's oath of life and death...

This time, however, you did not separate.

No?
