It was an hour after Huihuo returned home that he woke up instantly. He came back from the village market, touched the little savings in his pockets, and had plans for the future.But just thinking about Cui's situation, he can't even see the future clearly.

He gently pushed the door open, and he was so surprised that he was speechless as soon as he entered.

"Cui?" Huihuo looked at Shun who was sitting on the bed, unaware that the paper bag containing the bread fell to the ground, so he quickly walked up to Shun, "Are you... awake?"

He couldn't suppress the joy in his chest, and even his voice was trembling.

"Hmm..." Shun was taken aback by him, and nodded weakly.

He hasn't had time to think about what to do in the future.He thought that nine times out of ten he had died in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, that's why he came here.But he doesn't want to replace anyone and become someone else, and it's not his intention to survive in this form.

And he subconsciously said, "Brother."

"..." Huihuo breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out his hand to touch Shun's short hair, and looked at the wound on his head, "Is there any discomfort, you can already sit up?"

"I'm fine." Shun smiled at him.

Most of these words are to hope that Huihuo can feel at ease. In any case, this fatal injury is unlikely to heal in a short time, let alone when it is imposed on Cui who is physically weak.

However, Shun also regretted calling Huihuo that way, even if he still doesn't know how much disaster this will cause in the future.

Huihuo picked up the paper bag and scattered debris that had fallen on the ground, put them on the table, and then brought a new bandage.

"I'll help you change your medicine."

"Okay." Instantly agreed.

Hibiki's movements could not be said to be very careful, but he only tried his best to use a little gentle force.Originally, he was not suitable for too detailed work, and he didn't care about such things.For example, Cui usually does the tidying up of the house, while Huihuo just remembers where things are placed.

But for Shun, who has an older brother like Cui, he can fully understand the tender feelings contained in it.

"Does it hurt?"

"No." Shun shook his head.

Huihuo was a little at a loss, he saw Cui was showing an expression like she was about to cry.

"Really?"

"Well, it's just a little..." Shun lowered his head, closed his eyes and thought for a while, before saying, "I'm sorry. I... said that before."

Before falling from the building, Cui once said that he could feel that Cui actually regretted saying something against his will, such as "I don't need my brother anymore", but he didn't have time to convey his apology when he was dying.

I didn't want to drag my brother down until the end, so I thought it would be better to simply let the relationship break.

But it turns out that this approach has no effect.Huihuo is still the same as before, even taking care of him more than before.Just as Cui cannot live without his elder brother, Huihuo cannot live without him.This bond can only be maintained by giving to each other.

Shun didn't know what Huihuo would do if Cui really died.

Will you seek death?Or do you hate the world?Just like Ikki who lost everything when he died on Queen's Island, but fortunately he has someone like Seiya who can be a companion and move forward for the same goal.

But Huihuo didn't.There is no such person anywhere who can reach out for him.

There is no one but Cui.

Then, if you can only accept the present fact, Shun wants to live as Cui, in order to be with the only blood relative in this world, and for Cui who committed suicide without seeing the whole world, I want to kill the worst The ending is redeemed.

But even so, cheating is still not allowed.Instantly smiled bitterly.

If this is his original sin... For such a selfish behavior, he will accept the punishment properly in Hades and repent of this crime.So, at least now he wants to maintain this, not the best, but not the worst status quo.

"It's my fault." Huihuo said in a hoarse voice, "So, don't... do such things again, Cui."

Moment silently agreed.



In the next few days, Shun got a little bit of information from Huihuo. Compared with Cui who rarely went out, even Huihuo, who had left the village on foot, knew much more than him. .

It is the winter of 1735, and they are in a remote village in Italy.In order to escape the dark system, the mother who came here from a distant country died on the way, and the father also lost his voice in an accident two years ago.Those who were left in a foreign country were only the two of them.

Cui is only 12 years old this year, and her impression of her mother is already blurred, except that she is a gentle woman.The father was away all the year round, and the relationship was weak because of this.Only Huihuo, the elder brother, was always by his side.

Huihuo was older than him, he was 15 years old after this summer, and he was surprised when asked about his parents, a topic he had always been reluctant to bring up with Tsui.Probably said, it just adds to the sadness.

It's hard for Shun to imagine how Kaguya accepted the news of his father's disappearance, and with what kind of mood he took on this precarious situation.In addition, Cui's health is deteriorating, making it even more difficult to maintain.

Cui's disease should be photosensitivity. The skin should not be exposed to the sun directly, otherwise it will fester and cause unbearable pain.No wonder Cui stayed in this dark and dilapidated house all day long, never going out.Because of this, the body becomes very weak and the physical strength is poor.

Fortunately, it often rains here in winter.On rainy days, Cui can barely walk around outside the house, although he can't walk too far, one is the lack of physical strength, and the other is that Huihuo told him not to go out.But even such a brief opportunity to contact the outside world still made Cui very happy.Although the wet cold of winter was fatal to him.

When Shun tried to adapt himself to this body, he realized that things were much worse than he imagined.If he can barely bear the pain of the disease, the endless treatment is very disturbing.

Huihuo consulted many doctors but failed to completely cure Cui's illness, and some doctors had never even seen this rare disease.Someone in the village whispered to Cui, no matter what aspect they were overwhelming.

Shun looked at the bandages wrapped around his hands, Cui put medicine on the festering skin, which happened to cover those horrible wounds, but until now there was still a faint feeling of pain.

"Does your hands hurt?" Seeing him staring at his hands in a daze, Huihuo asked with concern.

"No, no." Shun quickly shook his head, hiding his hands behind his back.

Huihuo didn't ask any more questions, and took out bread from the paper bag for today's breakfast.

Shun could only watch in a daze, he almost exhausted all his strength when he got out of bed.Originally, if Huihuo was not at home, Cuilai would be in charge of the housework.Now it can't be done.

Shun covered his head with the quilt to isolate the sound of the rain and the sound in the room, but he couldn't fall asleep anyway, so he could only think about other things.

He was originally in Japan at the end of the [-]th century, but now he is in Western Europe in the [-]th century.If he remembered correctly, it happened to be around the same time as the previous jihad, or a little earlier, when the jihad had not yet begun.

Shun doesn't know why he came here, but it's hard not to think that someone deliberately made him experience another jihad, so he was pulled back from the kingdom of death.

Greece was not too far east of his position.Once the jihad broke out, the village would definitely be affected.

In two years, this place will become a battlefield.At that time, you will see the scene of ruins and ruins again.

Today's Shun doesn't have the Andromeda Cloth, and it becomes very difficult to burn the small universe.All in all, since he is not related to this jihad, the best choice at the moment should be to leave here as soon as possible.Get out of here, go to a place far away from the sanctuary.

But Shun still has concerns about the sanctuary in his heart, as well as the idea of ​​wanting to reverse the jihad.He has always believed that there is such a path, which will definitely allow everyone to live in peace, whether it is a saint fighter or a ghost fighter, Athena or Hades.Even if such a thought would be considered naive and ignorant of the importance, it was still a desire he didn't want to give up.

This wish was no longer possible.Shun poked his head out from under the quilt, looking at Huihuo's thin back.It turned out that his age happened to be about the same as that of Huihuo, and their situation was very similar, but their situation was completely different.

At least Shun has a goal to fight for, someone he wants to protect, a companion who goes through life and death, and an elder brother who will always protect him.

What is the fire?After losing Cui, is there anything else that can support him?

I can't bear to think about it for a moment.Whether it's Cui's will or not, he wants to try his best to protect Huihuo from the flames of war, and leave him as Cui when he has other sustenance in his heart.

If it could be done... the ending would be different.

"Cui." Huihuo called him to get up, and handed him the bread.

"Thank you." Shun lowered his head and took the bowl.Huihuo sat beside him, silent for a long time.

"What's wrong?" Shun asked.

Although Huihuo is originally a quiet character, when facing Cui, he is mostly silent.Shun could still feel a subtle change in the silent air.

"When you get better..." Huihuo hesitated, and pursed his lips, "The two of us, let's leave this village together."

Shun put down the spoon, looked seriously into Kaguro's eyes, in those pupils full of tiredness and fatigue, there was a faint light called hope.The look in Cui's eyes is completely different from that of Cui who has fallen into a desperate situation and wants to commit suicide.

It is because of such eyes that people want to desperately want...

"Where are you going?"

"Go east. There must be a doctor there who can cure your illness." Huihuo said.

"...No." Shun was stunned for a moment, and immediately rejected the proposal, "I can't go there."

He was still thinking about how to stay away from Greece just now, but now Huihuo proposed to go there.Shun really didn't want to go there, seeing the loss in Huihuo's eyes for a moment, he suddenly came back to his senses and realized that his performance was too much.

"I'm sorry, that's not what I meant." Shun lowered his head, trying not to look at Huihuo, "Well... I don't really want to leave here. And with my current body... I can't go there."

Although he got rid of the fate of suicide, the body he obtained is still in a very bad state, always struggling on the edge of life and death.Even if he was lucky enough to survive a few years, the time left would not be very long.

"I'll find a way to bring you there."

"I know you... brother, it will be fine." He could imagine how Huihuo took care of him all the way, and then went to a distant place to seek medical treatment, but he didn't want this to happen.

"If you want to go, just go, don't worry about me." Shun wrapped the loose bandage on his arm, and said to Huihuo with a smile, "I don't want to be your burden."

"..." Huihuo sighed, as if giving up, "I'm not going anywhere."

"I will always be at your side."
