Eight’s Crown

  Chapter 126 is just to give you the   time to celebrate the New Year unconsciously, it’s nearing the end of the year.

On the streets outside, there is a lot of lively atmosphere, it seems that everyone passing by is looking forward to the arrival of the new year, and the faces of passers-by who used to be numb and indifferent also have long-lost smiles. .

Even when this year is approaching, Lucia still stays at home alone.

The curtains are tightly fixed on the window sill to prevent any sunlight from coming in. The furniture and electrical appliances are as cold as ever. If it weren’t for Lucia in this room, it’s enough to make people doubt this. Is there a finished house that can't be sold yet?

Lucia is sitting on the sofa in the living room with a palm-sized comic book in her hand. She is watching very carefully, her eyes turning quickly on the book, turning quickly every one or two seconds. .

He really looked very carefully. Now that his dynamic vision and neural response speed have been greatly improved, his reading speed has also become much faster. It can be called ten lines at a glance, every one or two seconds. Zhong only turned the page because he had taken it very seriously.

Lucia doesn't like reading books.

To be precise, he has no emotions. Although he knows the concept of hobby, he has never understood the essence of this thing. The reason why he reads books just wants to see more discussions about human nature. A narrative about feelings.

And sort out the emotional changes of the characters in the book.

In order to draw their own comics as turbulent as possible, comic artists often portray the characters in the book as value emotion, value friendship, even villains, they also have moving obsessions and pursuits .

Although many plots can't stand scrutiny, Lucia never reads comics for the plot, he just wants to see more hot feelings that's all.

"However, although the emotions in comic books are very hot, the emotions in reality are too rare..."

Human nature is a very complicated thing , No one knows what the person in front of you is thinking, what is going to be done in the next second, so people in reality tend to be complicated and unpredictable.

The comics make all humanity face-to-face. Most of the protagonists have the same passion and gentle personality, and the villains always have deep difficulties. This way, readers can understand, and quickly substitute, and empathize. .

The most important thing is that the masked characters are very simple to design the plot, which is convenient for cartoonists to be lazy.

In view of this, fantasy and reality are different after all.

Two minutes later.

Lucia put down the comic in her hand.

There are too few siblings like Tanjirou and Nidou, in reality.

But it is precisely because of this that such feelings are so precious and worthy of Lucia to help them.

"New Year... seems to be very lively, but it has nothing to do with me."

Don't say that he was not very interested in these festivals, just say that he has become Ghosts are also impossible to go out in such broad daylight.

Although he still looks like a humanoid, it’s no different from the past, but it is actually the blood that Guimai Tsuji has drunk enough to make him jump over ordinary ghosts in one breath. The level of the alien ghost has directly reached the end of the string, so there is not much change in appearance.

If necessary, he can completely become an alien with a thick waist, but he has long been accustomed to his body, and becoming that way is easy to be squeezed out by human society, so It didn't become that's all.

It’s just that, although Lucia thinks this way, but that night——

"Happy New Year!"

It was just past twelve o’clock, [two ceremony ] He appeared in his apartment again, with a happy smile on his face, and sent his blessings to Lucia.

"What's wrong with me?"

Lucia glanced at her indifferently, and then continued to practice Sword Art in the living room over and over again.

Although his ten-style sword skills have basically been sorted out, they are not without flaws, and his proficiency in sword skills is not very high, still needs further practice and improvement.

Therefore, he has been practicing swords at home for more than ten days.

"Can I only find you if I have something to do?"

[Two ceremony] sighed, every time she chats with Lucia, Lucia always talks to death, and the other party The appearance of the auxiliary oil and salt does not enter, it is unusually uninteresting.

This made her want to cultivate Lucia's desire to know good things very frustrated, and she always felt that she didn't know how to get along with him.

Even if she is omniscient and omnipotent, even if she has existed, I don’t know how many years, but this behavior itself is the same as bringing a baby, without any experience, even if she knows more, she can’t easily get started, let alone Said that her omniscience and omnipotence could not exert much ability on Lucia.

"I'm just here to celebrate the New Year for you."

[Two ceremony] renewed confidence and said to Lucia.

"...I don't need to celebrate the new year."

Lucia originally thought that [two ceremony] would only appear in front of her when there were important things, and she didn't think of each other at all. His intention was so simple that he had the illusion that the other party's value had become slightly cheaper.

"If you have anything you can order, please come back if you have nothing to do."

In all fairness, Lucia certainly wants to get more information from the other party, but these few meetings have made Lucia aware When the other party is the kind of things that can be answered, he must say, but the things that need to be concealed will never be answered, and it happens that what he wants to know from the other party is the topic she has been avoiding to talk about.

In this case, there is no difference between [two ceremony] or not seeing each other.

"You guy...well, then I will order you to go to the shrine with me."

Because of being able to peek into Lucia's heart, [two ceremony Once again, I was overwhelmed by Lucia's behavioral logic. In desperation, I had no choice but to give him tough orders.

"Okay."

Lucia glanced at her, then indifferently agreed.

But he promised so simply, it highlighted his lack of care in his heart, which gave [two ceremony] a deep sense of frustration, and made her feel that "this child is really uneasy to take with me" Powerlessness.

After countless years, she became a mother for the first time, but she failed completely.

…………

At two o'clock in the morning, Lucia followed 【Two Ceremony】 and came to a shrine in the Northern Part of City to pay her respects.

The current season has come to winter, especially in the early hours of the morning, the cold wind is whizzing like a reminder, blowing past the two of them, bringing it as if they were crazy Strong wind.

There is no one in the shrine, and even the maiden who presides over the lottery and wishes are impossible at this time to go out to welcome guests.

So, [Two Ceremony] Shi Shiran walked to the offering box and looked at Lucia with a smile exactly similar to that of the witch welcoming the guests.

"I'll be a guest maiden, Lucia, now you can make a wish."
