Can I Quit the Group Now?

Suzuka Gozen was silent, she wanted to say something, but finally nodded silently.

That's right, even she, who grew up outside the sea of ​​immortality, knows very well how important singing is to mermaids.

That is a force that cannot be ignored.

If you want to describe it, yes, use human words to describe it, that is, the voice is equivalent to their appearance. A good voice is a coat that countless people like, while an ugly voice is a mask that countless people dislike.

The girl's singing is destined that she will not have any mermaid friends.

That's why she's alone here, that's why she's alone on the rock...

Some things are normal in society, and as long as society exists, they will never disappear, no matter how disgusting people are, they are like this...

——People have two sides, the good that can be said, and the evil that cannot be said.

But... at this moment, a voice came over.

On the far horizon, where the sea and the sky meet, a melodious cry of a whale comes along with the sea breeze.

The chirping seems to be in response to the singing, and the seabirds in the sky are flying around, as if celebrating the contact of the sound.

"It's the whale."

"It's responding to her singing."

Suzuka Gozen turned his head to look at the direction when he came. The whale was so weak that he couldn't even speak completely, but now, it burst into such a high-pitched cry.

Is this the power of the so-called 'agreement'?

The girl was still singing, but the smile on her face became more beautiful.

The voice is communicating with the voice, and the once 'promise' has finally come to an end.

"Okay, let's go, their 'agreement' has been completed, and it doesn't make sense for us to stay here."

"Hurry up and start."

Taking a deep look at the singing girl, Chihime turned and left, but Suzuka Gozen couldn't help frowning after recovering, and said, "Wait, is this all right? We won't send this girl away." Go back?"

"Send it back? It's not necessary."

"No need? What do you mean? You want to leave her alone in such a dangerous place?"

The pointed words made Suzuka Gozen feel strange, and a bad premonition emerged.

Under this premonition, Qianji gave an answer.

"Her lifespan has come to an end."

"Because of the decline of tidal power, the immortal mermaid is no longer immortal, and the voice you are giving her now is what she bought with her life."

"When the singing stops, she will die here..."

"What did you say!!!?"

When the words fell, Suzuka Gozen couldn't help opening her eyes wide, and she came to Chihime at once, her golden pupils reflected her elder sister's figure.

She was stunned... Completely stunned, the mermaid princess in front of her said, the girl's singing is exchanged for her life?

What she sings now is her life force! ?

"This kind of thing... why didn't you tell me about this kind of thing earlier!?"

Suzuka Gozen shouted subconsciously, this is a life, how could she... how could she! ! !

The weight of life is very heavy, Suzuka Gozen has clearly realized this.

No matter what it is, there is no way to compare with life. She doesn't want others to die in front of her, and she doesn't want her life to be taken away by others.

But now... what has she done! !

How could she... damn it! ! !

However, Qianji just looked at her calmly, not at all sad because the girl was about to die.

This kind of calm made Suzuka Gozen's heart unbearably angry.

"Hey! Don't you feel guilty!!"

"thank you all."

Before the shouts and anger arose, a hoarse voice came from the side.

The annoyed Suzuka Gozen was interrupted by the voice, and she looked up at the girl who stopped singing at some point.

The mermaid girl looked at Suzuka Gozen and said sincerely and gratefully: "Thank you, sister, thank you for worrying about me. But, please don't blame Princess Qianji, this is our decision."

"I have no friends since I was a child, because my singing voice is not good, and my partners are not willing to approach me. I can only come here alone to be with the sea every day. But one day, I met it."

"The mermaid who can't sing and the whale who can't fly, both of us were abandoned by our respective races, so we became each other's only friends."

"This is our first 'agreement' and our last 'agreement', so even if it costs my life, I won't care."

"It's our choice."

The girl smiled quietly, that quiet and satisfied smile made Suzuka Gozen feel a little dazzling...

She suddenly understood, the weight of the 'promise'...

Chapter 480

The girl in front of her has no fear or fear.

No matter who it is, when facing death, they will always want to live, because this is the instinct of living things. No living thing will not be in awe of 'death', but this child has overcome this fear.

The 'promise' between her and the whale has become the power to break through the boundary of death.

The lips opened involuntarily, Suzuka Gozen wanted to say something, but seeing the girl's appearance, she finally closed her mouth.

Yeah, what can be said now, is life more important than everything?

Could it be that you don't care about the giant whale on the beach, and let the girl wait here with guilt and "promise"?

What else can she say?What qualifications does she have, and what to say...

"..."

The slanting sunset illuminates the sea red, and the golden waves attract people's attention. Huge ships move slowly on the sea. Behind them, there is a hoarse, dry, but full of the most beautiful melody. The sound of singing is spreading.

------

What came into view was the deep blue sea, and the full moon was shining in the southwest sky.

On the edge of a certain island, beyond the reach of human lights, the sea under the dark night is expanding infinitely.The waves from the open sea kept beating against the walls of the ship, splashing icy spray.

The anti-white waves shine with silvery brilliance because they are bathed in moonlight.

Dark and light.From the velvety swaying sea came a quiet sound.

"Why didn't you tell me in advance that she sang at the cost of her own life?"

"I said, you will use the power of the tide to reply to her voice?"

"...I hope I don't."

The owners of the voice are two princesses of the mermaid clan.

They stood on top of the empty armor, their blue jewel-like pupils and golden pearl-like eyes looked out at the sea.

Suzuka Gozen was questioning Chihime.

This was the first time that Suzuka Gozen met Chihime alone. If it was before, Chihime would never give Suzuka Gozen such an opportunity, and even if she came out, she would never face Suzuka Gozen so calmly.

Maybe it was today's events that made Chihime change slightly towards Suzuka Gozen, or maybe it was Suzuka Gozen's agreement that surprised Chihime.

But at least, after such contact, Chihime understands that although Suzuka Gozen is annoying, at least her behavior is not annoying to her.

However, this kind of thinking can only be maintained just now.

When it was getting late and the boat was docked, Suzuka Gozen called her out and questioned her, the slight change she had in Suzuka Gozen's rise disappeared without a trace.

Both the girl and the giant whale left, and the girl who sang the last song with her life turned into a sea spirit, and merged with the giant whale into the sea of ​​eternal life. After all this was over, Suzuka Gozen came to question her again, why didn't she Tell her about it.

If she had been told in advance, she would never have given her voice to that girl, and that girl would not have died.

Regarding the girl's death, Suzuka Gozen would not regard it as her own responsibility because it was her own power, but likewise, she would never deny that she contributed to the girl's death.

She seemed to understand the weight of the 'promise', which is the weight that can make people give up their lives, but Suzuka Gozen still didn't understand.

Why is the agreement so important? Does the agreement make people give up their lives?

She didn't understand the way to survive in the Sea of ​​Immortality, nor did she understand why.

So she came to ask Qianji, however, she didn't know how to describe such incomprehension, so she directly used what happened today as a question.

It's just that her words didn't make sense, and the last question turned into something similar to a question.

Facing Reiko's questioning, Qianji remained calm, and did not feel that what she did was wrong at all.

In fact, she really didn't think there was anything wrong with her actions.

Looking at the endless sea, Qianji responded coldly: "'promise' is the most important thing in the sea of ​​eternal life."

"It is the foundation of the Sea of ​​Eternal Life and the opportunity for the birth of the Sea of ​​Eternal Life."

"It exists above everything else."

"If it is said that whales that cannot fly and mermaids that cannot sing are existences abandoned by their respective races, then those who violate the 'promise' will be abandoned by the sea of ​​eternal life."

"You understand the significance of the 'promise' to the Sea of ​​Eternal Life, but you don't understand what we will pay for the 'promise'."

The cold words carry a lot of weight, but perhaps because of the tacit understanding between the sisters, even though Suzuka Gozen did not express her emotions well, Chihime still understood what Suzuka Gozen wanted, so she gave her. Reply.

It was just her last words, as if she was telling Suzuka Gozen.

'Even if I told you what we'd pay for the deal, you'd never understand'.

This kind of mocking and contemptuous response made Suzuka Gozen's already restless heart even more restless.

She wanted to have a good talk with Qian Ji, but for various reasons... No, maybe it was because they were sisters that they became like this.

I can't speak clearly, and I can't reason clearly, the emotions in my heart are messed up, and the words on my mouth don't follow my heart.

So, she gritted her teeth and said, "Ah, I really don't understand these things, but I don't want to either."

"To live is the instinct of all creatures. It has no special meaning, but it is respected by all creatures. In this world, there is nothing more important than being alive."
