Chapter 615 [Speaking of the Wrong Way the Universe Exists]
The first sunset——
I woke up when I heard the voice calling me.
It was the voice of my beloved citizens cheering for the emperor.
The second sunset——
Again, hallucination.
I opened my eyes, but there was no one in the wilderness.
And the third sunset——
[You can't touch the stars]
[Because you are a blood-red rose born at dawn and withered at sunset]
My trembling hands couldn't aim.
Is there anyone... who can take care of me?
I'm going to die next! ?
In the end, I couldn't be loved until the abyss of death.
I cried over and over again, and again and again, holding the dagger to my throat——
I...
I... still...!
I don't want to die——
"Shut up."
In front of the red skirt that was almost melted by the sunset, the little red dragon had a blank expression on her face. The blood-red roses grew wildly like weeds, drowning them, but the white-gold light was like a knife, cutting through the flowers cleanly and neatly, and clearing a path for one person among the scattered petals.
A familiar breath was approaching behind her, but the girl didn't look back, just said to herself:
"The curtain of the theater has already fallen, and the audience seats are empty."
"So the actors should leave the stage as soon as possible."
That was not the Draco who was shown outside, but the embodiment of the girl's secret that was locked in SG (Secret Garden) and was locked up to hide.
SG·Suicidal wish.
Intend to die, intend to draw the curtain on her own story.
As for Shuoyue, this person was a complete miscalculation for Draco.
He shot the arrow on his own initiative, and held her in his palm on his own initiative.
If the end could be brought about at the second singularity, it would be a perfect story of justice overcoming evil, but even though she was so embarrassed that she fell into the mud and was covered in dust, someone still picked her up and wanted to walk with her all the way--
But it was over.
That person would never allow anyone to hurt his master, and would never forgive a person who knowingly committed a crime and refused to change after repeated teachings.
...He never had extra patience for naughty children.
"You are really hopeless." In a heart shrouded in sadness, the incarnation of the girl said this with her back to the person who was walking towards her.
"Time and time again, time and time again, you go deep into the hearts of others without hesitation."
The little red dragon with a golden crown and golden hair pouted, and the pretty face of frost had no deterrent effect in front of that person.
"You have exposed my shame, and on this basis, how else do you plan to humiliate me?"
"Forget it, it's better to say that you actually came at the right time."
The slender figure spoke to herself: "Just come to witness my death, a soul without shelter and homeless... the death of an irredeemable evil man."
"Or do you want to personally... execute me here and now?"
Compared to the hard-mouthed Draco in reality, it is obvious that her heart is more frank. Because she knows that she can't stop crying, she simply turns her back to that person, her shoulders trembling, her mouth open, and cries silently.
Being killed by the hands of the person you love - how sad and romantic this is.
Ah, perhaps, this is the most suitable and beautiful death for me.
Between her tearful eyes, she finally heard the voice of that person.
It was not a disguise, but a clean, unshakable word.
"If you love others more than yourself, then you will never love anyone again."
"What you love is nothing."
"Now, answer me, Draco--"
His arrival brought a breeze. The man did not look at her, but just looked up at the sky, but Draco could not help but be attracted by his presence.
So eager, listening to his voice.
"Do I love you as much as I love myself?"
Not asking about her feelings, but handing herself over as a weight in her hand, letting her weigh.
Generous and indulgent.
But Draco could no longer look into his eyes and say that. She closed her eyes and let the tears roll down her cheeks.
Obviously no longer qualified to respond...
Obviously made mistakes again and again...
Obviously, she could no longer stay by his side...
But she still nodded willfully, shamelessly, and vigorously.
You love me.
You must love me.
Please... love me like I love you.
Please allow me to witness with you the other side of this journey to the stars.

"If you love something more than yourself, then one day you will sacrifice everything for what you love. This is a matter of course."
Walking in the corridor sprinkled with moonlight, the emperor in red skirt said:
"But when these people sacrificed themselves, they rarely thought that there were people in this world who also loved them, even more than their own lives..."
"In my opinion, the failure of that stupid emperor was due to this overly arrogant "love".
"Ah, this is not what Yu said, but a fragment found in the memory of that "Yu". "
Hakuno and Alice followed Nero closely. Hearing this, Hakuno couldn't help but say: "This speaking style is Shuoyue, right?"
"Yes, it was said by the Governor himself." Nero lowered his eyes. The memories of the second singularity transmitted by Draco himself had all merged into the ocean of memory, and they were all integrated. "My love is different from the love you all said."
"The love fire ignited in this chest seems to be heavier and more violent than that of people."
What kind of tossing and turning did you go through to analyze the wounds from your heart?
Bai Ye was silent, listening to his servant's confession.
"My love is overbearing. While giving everything, it will not stop until everything is taken away. But... it's just a raging fire."
Even if someone approaches for warmth, while giving warmth, that person will also be burned to ashes.
Nero, who said this, suddenly had a change of expression and remembered the conversation with Shuoyue before he got his memory.
[So your love is too selfless. You need someone to accompany you all the time, so that your beautiful fireworks will not burn people or burn yourself out]
[Hmm... You said it as if you know me very well. So, do you want to be the one who watches over me? 】
STOP!!!
"What's wrong with you, big sister?" Alice asked curiously, "Your face is so red, are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"Ah? No, no..." Nero held her face with both hands, and after noticing the meaningful gaze of the Master behind her, she felt embarrassed.
You can't say that you are happy because you found out about your dark history, right?
Too, too shameful!
The skirt swayed with the young emperor, and finally she took a deep breath and said in a shocking voice: "To sum up, I will never let her follow in my footsteps!"
This change of subject is too obvious, Miss Nero.
Bai Ye twitched his lips, but was sensible enough not to expose him: "Well, so what are you going to do, Saber?"
"Need I say that?" Nero patted his chest, righteously, "I must drag her out and convince her with my sharp words!"
"It's too pitiful to leave her alone. After all, she is my half. Even if everyone hates her, I will never give up on her!"
So Nero, who was prepared, ran back to his room, but stopped at the door——
[Because of this and that, this room is temporarily closed. The remaining time of the ban is 00:04:58. To sum up~( ̄▽ ̄)]
The door of the room was sealed by two seals on both sides. A text happily rolled over the doorplate, reflecting the dull faces of Nero and others.
"Wait, this is my private room!" After a while, the young empress's voice resounded through the sky, "Also, what's with this evil smile? The sense of déjà vu is too strong!"
————
Opening his eyes, the expected person has appeared in front of him.
In this Moon Sea, there has been a presence that has been watching over him and Draco.
[And Shariputra, the Land of Ultimate Bliss has seven layers of parapets, seven layers of nets, and seven layers of trees, all of which are made of the four treasures, surrounding it. Therefore, that country is called Ultimate Bliss...]
The Zen chanting was faint, and the mythical man put his hands together:
"The Beast of Sodom is the shadow that fell from the emperor, and the scattered echoes of the Rose Emperor."
"Yes." The young magician smiled, "Although she is a fallen beast, she hates filth and laziness - she loves the small but clear hope and the stars that shine in the filth."
"Love the journey of those who go to the stars."
Looking up, even though it was a transcendent existence worshipped by countless people, he still declared: "I want to take her back, no matter what."
"...Then, there is something I want to ask you first." The figure nodded slowly.
"The flame that burns everything, devotion, exhaustion, and love that burns everything. The beast of Sodom, born from the remnant, is the same. This essence is inherited, and she who accepts that form means that she cannot escape this love (evil)."
"--You will go hand in hand with human evil."
"Boss, there is something I have to say." The young man also put his hands together and asked sincerely, "If you wanted to stop this from the beginning..."
"Then why did you do it earlier?"
The figure wrapped in the Buddha's light was silent, listening to the young man's face with a sad face, pretending to accuse:
"Is this question redundant? Draco was forced to me by that guy (me)? Long before that, she was under your attention, right? After all, that guy's story happened on the Moon Spirit Crystal."
"If you had decided to destroy her long ago... With your ability, boss, she couldn't see me at all, right?"
The existence sitting on the lotus platform looked at the young man, listening to him even recite a paragraph of 'All things are like dreams and bubbles. Like dew and lightning, you should view it in this way...' Such irrelevant words, even if he is calm, he still feels a bit amused.
His eyes see the three thousand worlds, his Buddha light shines on everything, believers worship him, everyone says they want to respect and worship him, but no one knows that he just hopes that all beings can understand his principles and then awaken to wisdom. It's a pity that people worship the perfect holy image but never break the demon in their hearts.
But this young man is different.
He even dares to complain in front of him, with a sharp tongue, and even speaks a passage when he is in the mood...
Really, a very interesting soul.
"There is no other human being in the world who can face the evil of human beings like you." He said slowly, "-Draco, I'll leave it to you."
"That being said." The young man still didn't appreciate it. He scratched his head with a helpless expression, "I am just a friendly helper. The next thing should be entrusted to another me...ah, unless you are willing to let me go?"
Faced with the young man's temptation, He smiled without saying a word, just stretched out a palm.
"Let me go?" The young man was overjoyed.
"No." He said, with an imperceptible smile in his tone.
"I mean, you can't escape my Five Finger Mountain."
"Eh? Why is it like this--"
The picture froze, shattered, the dream of a thought dissipated, only the Zen chanting was endless, as if it was eternal.
【There is a Buddha in that land, named Amitabha, now preaching, Shariputra, why is that land called paradise? 】
【All the people in that country have no suffering, but only enjoy happiness, so it is called the paradise...】
————
When Shuoyue woke up from his trance, he was sitting in the blood-red roses all over the sky, and Draco, the little red dragon who had caused him a lot of trouble again, was sitting in his arms obediently, with the dragon's tail scales lying down and gently wrapped around his waist.
"Give everything, plunder everything, for me, love is a blazing flame."
"Admit everything, allow everything, for people, love seems to be the existence of a healing object, just like the warm sunshine at noon."
"But, I can't understand it anyway."
"I can't understand what they call love anyway-"
"Then, love in your way, Your Majesty."
The blurred face disappeared, and the pair of golden vertical pupils faced Draco. In the depths of their eyes, there was the same desire and possessiveness.
"But your kingdom has collapsed. Even among the audience in the theater, I am the only one left."
"You..." The wine-red eyes came closer, like a whirlpool, mysterious and tempting, "Will you give me a rose?"
"Sorry, the rose already has an owner." The young man shrugged helplessly, and like a magic trick, he pulled out a flower from his fingertips.
It was a pure white camellia stained with dusk gold.
A flower that symbolizes perfect love, ideal love, noble and aloof, and temperate virtues.
"You know, Draco." Shuoyue stopped laughing. He looked into Draco's eyes and his own reflection in his pupils.
She was looking at herself.
Solemnly and seriously.
He said: "There are so many people in this world, but I am only worried about gains and losses in front of you."
"I know."
Draco held his hand and responded gently: "Because I am too."
At that moment, Draco saw the arc of his mouth.
It was like a smile.
So happy and satisfied.
So she came forward, grabbed the smile with all her strength, and gave it her unreserved affection.
White flowers bloomed in the sky full of roses.
At first it was just a casual touch by the painter, but then it covered the whole mountain and field. The pure and noble platinum color enveloped the kingdom. In this deserted and dreamy white kingdom, a pair of lovers kissed passionately.
He said that she was the emperor of this country.
She said that he was the only citizen in the country.
So the unrestrained love was given to this only one, and that person would return the same warm love.
The evil of the beast of disaster was accepted in this way, and the girl crying in the mud could finally stand up and walk out of the mud completely.
"Come with me, Your Majesty." He held up the girl's messy blonde hair and put a camellia in her hair. There was a smile in the young man's eyes. "Our journey is to take the stars (hope) as the goal and keep walking on the road to the sky."
"...Yeah."
In his arms, the girl's blushing cheeks were so touching.
The first sunset was shot down by him with the arrow of fate.
The second sunset, he and her were entangled in the hut on the deserted island.
The third sunset, in her heart, was already full of white camellias.
Then, a new sun will still rise——
[Speaking of the existence of the wrong universe]
[That is the beast of the apocalypse leaving the earth]
[The rose gallops in the universe until it burns itself out and turns into a star]
————
Accompanied by the sound of the time being, the seal embedded in the door of the room automatically fell off and dissipated. Nero cheered, opened the door and rushed in.
"Finally you're in! Draco, you have the ability to rob a man, but you don't have the courage to open the door...huh?"
As Nero stopped walking, Bai Ye and Alice who followed him also had to stop walking, subconsciously looking forward, and then their pupils shrank, looking at the familiar yet strange figure under the light, and felt the same shock as Nero.
"Who...are you?!"
