The faded person who shuttles between the everyday and the extraordinary

Living in a village full of lunatics, although I was a little frightened at first, I almost got used to it after a few years.

And thinking about his god, he couldn't help but smile: "And even my god has promised to betray me from the beginning, so when you really want to betray me, just tell me."

"....Would God still say such things?"

"Yes, and he is also a little man who is petty and saves his face."

"...Is that still God?"

"Who knows, at least the power is real."

He shrugged helplessly, rubbed Rachel's face, then stood up again and opened the closed door in the sight of Rachel who was hesitant to speak.

Chapter 14 Escape from the building·I want to be a butcher·I just want to show fatherly love! 8K

After passing through the closed door, what you see is the living room of an ordinary house, but it is a bit dim without turning on the lights, and outside the window with the curtains wide open, there is an unreal blue moon.

It was the blue moonlight that brought a little light to the living room. There were a large number of blooming flowers on the walls on both sides of the living room.

On the sofa in the middle of the living room, two people, a man and a woman, were sitting. An Yan came closer and noticed these two people... Or rather, the hands of the two corpses were sewn together, holding each other as intimately as lovers. Get started.

This made him a little unclear as to what Rachel's thoughts were towards her parents, so he asked hesitantly:

"Rachel, do you hate your parents?"

"...I don't hate it." Rachel turned away to avoid seeing the two corpses: "I want family...an ideal family, and I hope that the peaceful night can last forever, but now everything It’s all over.”

"If you really want an ideal family, I can try to be your ideal family, well...as long as you don't sew me up, I'll do anything." Thinking of his previous experience of being sewed, he couldn't help but emphasize. For a moment, focus on what you care about.

"But, I'm not normal... I'm probably one of the lunatics you talk about."

"I told you it's not a big problem, as long as you don't hurt me. There's nothing wrong with being crazy. And I may become like this in the future. I just hope you don't think of me as a lunatic." All the things that happened in my village The tragedy is still vivid in his mind even now, so An Yan just lowered his gaze and showed a slightly lonely smile: "Of course, if I don't even have basic sense, I can do whatever you want at that time, as long as you are willing to accompany me." If you stick to me, I'll be happy."

"....Are you going to become a madman?"

"Who knows, things are unpredictable." He didn't want to say anything about his background, so he just smiled and waved his hands: "I can only say that the probability is much higher than that of ordinary people."

"..." Rachel stared at him silently. All the mistakes she had made, as well as everything she had spent with An Yan during this period, and the vows they made, all flashed through her mind, making her deeply moved. Taking a breath, she managed to speak in a trembling voice: "....An Yan, you are an angel, right?"

"tentatively?"

"Then can I ask you a question." When Rachel raised her head again, her face was expressionless as usual.

"Whatever, I have nothing to hide anyway."

"What kind of life do you live outside? As an angel, or as a human?"

"Human, right? After all, you have to have an identity in this world."

"What about before?"

"That's not fun."

"....It's okay if it's not fun."

I really want to know, I want to know something related to you - Rachel stared straight at him, her beautiful yet cold eyes only reflecting his figure.

She didn't want to hear interesting topics, she just wanted to know more about the person in front of her.

This made An Yan hesitate for a moment, but he didn't think Ruijier would betray him. Likewise, no one would believe him even if he betrayed him, so he nodded and said: "It's a long story, let's talk about it while we're going up."

"Hmm..." Rachel nodded quietly, taking the lead and leading him to avoid the traps hidden here.

And An Yan took his time and told the story of the taboo-tainted village near the center of the world, as well as the story of how he met the Dark Moon and was chosen as an apostle by the demigods as the last believer.

"....But you actually don't want an ideal family so much as you just want a spiritual sustenance. That's why you read the Bible and place your hope on an illusory God, right?" Follow Rui Rui An Yan, who was behind Jill, after finishing talking about his own affairs, suddenly changed the subject and talked about Rachel's affairs.

"This..." Unable to deny it, but unable to confirm it clearly, Rachel stopped and asked vaguely: "Why do you think so?"

Regarding this speculation, An Yan is actually quite sure: "Because... the people in my hometown are all such guys, and there was a time when I had a strong desire to be needed by others. You probably always want to get attention and want someone to accompany you, right?"

"..."

Rachel didn't answer.

But what An Yan said was right. She had never been loved by others, and no one had ever needed her.

Her existence was alienated, leaving her with only emptiness and loneliness. Reading, searching for her ideal family, and sewing dolls became the only remaining spiritual oasis.

But even though he didn't get an answer, An Yan continued to talk to himself: "Compared with the illusory and moody gods, choose me."

"Is this...what an angel should say?" Rachel raised her head suddenly. Even someone like her was a little dumbfounded at this moment.

"Do not care of details."

"If you don't care about this, then there is no point, right?" Rachel said in a sigh-like tone, but for the first time she narrowed her eyes softly: "....Thank you, An Yan."

"Uh, am I being dumped?"

"..."

An Yan's surprise caused Ruijier to fall into silence for a moment.

After getting along with each other for this period of time, An Yan probably understood that this was her subconscious reaction when she was unhappy, which made him smile immediately after being stunned: "Does this mean you agree?"

"I'm curious...Why is my thank you considered a rejection?"

"Because girls sometimes refuse like this, I've been called a good person several times, well, forget it..." An Yan shrugged helplessly and squatted on the ground, with his back to the door leading to freedom behind him, and stretched out his arms to the girl. He took action and smiled at the girl: "Then, will you come with me?"

The girl did not answer, but stared at the man in front of her, slowly stretched out her white and transparent little hands that seemed to have never been exposed to dirt, and held the hand that represented hope.

In the past, she thought that it didn't matter if she died at any time. She didn't feel the value of living, and she didn't understand what kind of future she would have after leaving here. But as long as she held the hand in front of her, deep down she felt the uneasiness and anxiety she had felt since her birth. Loneliness seems to have completely disappeared.

Because now is different from the past, and for the first time in his life, someone needs him. An Yan risks his life to fulfill the agreement he made with himself.

So now she is willing to believe him.

.......................

.......................

The exterior of the strange building unexpectedly looks like an ordinary street.

The time is like early morning, the vehicles coming and going, and the endless flow of people are no different from the cities in the past.

But when An Yan appeared with Ruijier, he immediately attracted everyone's attention... After all, he was still wearing a prison uniform with red threads sewn all over his body, so it didn't take long for the police to appear and take the two. Take people away.

But soon he and Rachel were taken to the hospital together, and they accepted some questioning from the police, but not as a kidnapper, but as a victim.

Because on the night of his disappearance, the Shinomiya family had already called the police. The disappearance of the child of a world-class chaebol, although the news was blocked to avoid stock fluctuations, caused quite a stir in the American police circles. The police initially The direction was to kidnap and extort, but unfortunately he came out before asking for ransom.

Even though the Shinomiya family did not allow the news to publish the photos, the police obtained the photos, which allowed him to be cleared of suspicion immediately and receive formal treatment together with Rachel as expected.

Only after the doctor removed his sutures and re-sterilized and sutured him, not long after he exited the operating room, he saw a familiar black-haired girl not far away, throwing away the examination report in her hand and running towards him.

"——Brother!" Shinomiya Kaguya, who was running towards him, immediately rushed in front of him, placed her hands on the edge of the bed and stared at him nervously: "——Are you okay? Although the doctor said that he shouldn't be What are the side effects? But it really hurts, right?"

"It's okay...it's just a skin injury. It doesn't matter if you don't have to be so nervous." An Yan waved her hands with a smile and sat up from the moving hospital bed. Kaguya was so frightened that she reflexively wanted to push him down. , but taking care of the wound on his shoulder, he just waved in panic in mid-air: "Wait! Brother! What are you doing! How can you sit up with injuries on your body and hands?? Lie down quickly!"

"They say there's no need to worry. My injuries are actually pretty good. It's easy to get off the ground... Or rather, I just walked out all the way?"

"Stop talking nonsense! You lost too much blood! You may also have a concussion!"

"Uh...so it turns out that I had a concussion when I fell off the fence? I just said why my head hurts so much..." He thought that the headache and dizziness were the result of excessive consumption of magic power. Still have a concussion?This unexpected discovery inevitably made him a little depressed.

But what he said to himself also made Kaguya's eyes widen: "Why did you fall off the fence!"

"That's a long way to go."

"It's okay. I have time now to listen slowly. What happened?" Kaguya leaned down with a serious look on his face, ready to fight a protracted battle here.

However, Hayasaka, who was inseparable from him at the side, pulled her and couldn't help but sigh: "Master Kaguya, Master An Yan is in a current situation. You must pay attention to rest and rest. You must not use your brain too much. You must close your eyes and relax as much as possible and talk less. , you should calm down and let him rest first, right?"

"That's right..." Huiye, who originally looked like An Yan was covered in gauze and could not remain calm for a long time, finally calmed down a little.

It was only at this time that Hayasaka asked the doctors and nurses to continue sending the patient into the ward, and told him: "Master An Yan, too, please stop showing off and just lie down."

"Oh..." An Yan looked at the blond girl next to him with some surprise: "I thought you were going to say, 'Why are you still alive? I thought you must have raised your braids.'"

"How could it be? Even if I really wanted to cut you into pieces the day before you left the country, no matter what I say now, I will put the conflict aside for the time being." Hayasaka dropped these words and dragged Kaguya along. Temporarily left the scene.

.......................

In the ward, Hayasaka Nao, who had been waiting for a long time, squatted on the tablet and stood next to him. Opposite the monitor was his nominally cheap dad Shinomiya Yanan.

"....How's your body?"

"Is it okay? In the current situation, he shouldn't die."

"That's good." Shinomiya Yanan, who was lying on the hospital bed like him, stared at him for a while and then said slowly: "Although the guy who drugged you on the plane, when he followed the plane back to Japan He has already disappeared. Nao has also been investigated and there is no problem, but I will have people investigate this matter thoroughly and I will definitely give you an explanation. You should come back after a while."

"Rather than this, I have two requests."

"Tell me."

"The girl I came out with, I want to take her home."

"Okay, Nao will take care of the formalities. What's the other one?"

"——I want to be a butcher! I want to work in a slaughterhouse! Please help me arrange for a large slaughterhouse!"

His sonorous request caused the entire ward to fall into an eerie silence, and even Hayasaka Nao froze there dumbfounded.

"...I must be really old, and now I have auditory hallucinations." Shinomiya Yanan patted his ears and said with a melancholy look on his face: "You can say it again. , I didn’t hear clearly just now, you want a slaughterhouse, right?”

"No, I want to be a butcher."

"——Why?! You are from the Shinomiya family, right? Are you a butcher? Are you serious! Think about it carefully before you speak!!"

His unfazed voice made Shinomiya Yanan sit up in shock as he was dying of illness. He jumped up from the hospital bed and came closer to the screen to roar.

This actually shocked An Yan. He didn't expect that the old man, whose physical condition was much worse than his own, could eject himself to his feet.

But he also realized that he seemed to miss something accidentally, and quickly changed his words: "Ah...yes, I said it wrong! I want a slaughterhouse!"

"no!"

"Why? Didn't you say that yourself?"

"Unless you promise me, you will never see any woman again."

"can!"

"...I knew it was a lie as soon as I heard it. Forget it, it's up to you. Nao will help you arrange employment." He answered without thinking, making Shinomiya Yanan narrow his eyes and stare at him for a while, but it was She didn't believe what he said at all. After saying this, she sighed tiredly, lay down again and continued: "You'd better have a good rest now, I almost have to rest too."

After saying that, the other end of the video call hung up. Hayasaka Nao silently put away the tablet in the room where the two of them were alone, then lay down on the ground as if facing Shinomiya Yanan when they first met, and gave him Here comes a standard soil seat:

"I'm really sorry! Mr. An Yan, it was my negligence that allowed the bad guys to sneak into the plane, causing you to suffer such misfortune. I will accept any punishment. Please give me a chance to atone for my sins!"

"..."

Are there still people like this in modern times?Sure enough, the Shinomiya family seemed like an ancient monarchy - looking at the woman kneeling on the ground, he sighed in his heart but didn't know what he should ask for.

If it were a beautiful young woman who still had her charm, he could still tease her about saying that anything was okay, but after all, she was Hayasaka Ai's mother and Kaguya's nanny, so if he had any unreasonable thoughts... I guess the two of them would No one will let him go easily.

"Ah, by the way, do you have photos of Hayasaka when she was a child? The less fabric, the better."

"....You mean you want nude photos of me when I was young?" Hayasaka Nao raised her head in surprise.

"No! I'm talking about Hayasaka Ai!"

"...Nude photos of your love? This...Okay." Hayasaka Nao was embarrassed for a while, but she nodded and reluctantly agreed: "After all, my mistake was fatal, but the other party deliberately penetrated me. It’s hard to escape the blame.”

"No, no, no, I'm not talking about that kind of photo! Are you deliberately misinterpreting it? By the way, can you give me that?! Is it really okay!?"

"Actually neither do I."

"--There's none?!"

"Pity?"

"...how come."

He was so excited that just like his cheap dad, he sat up from the hospital bed and silently turned his head away, then lay down again.

"But I will give you the photos of your childhood, just the ones you want, the naked ones."

"....Don't say it so strangely. Are you apologizing now?"

"If that doesn't work, I'd better help you take a bath."

"What do you want to do to my patient?!"

"Just a back rub."

"no need!"
