"Ah Chu!" As soon as he saw me, Tong Jun waved happily from afar.
Ever since we met again, he called me that. "Anyway, the pronunciation is the same ~" he said with conviction.
He took " Hajime " as " Chu " and explained that it was because he was the first member of the Hitomi Group. "It's just you and me for now, but there will definitely be more!”Hitomi Group... I was wondering what that was for?
" The kite flying club, the brothers 'association, the martial arts research society, and many other purposes-" Still didn't understand…
Even though it was only a one-sided agreement for Tong Jun to include me in his strange group, we were already friends.
"Ah Chu, come with me!"
He said excitedly that he would take me to his "secret base". Where was he? Since it's a secret location, of course I can't tell you in advance!”He cheerfully took my hand." Sa, it's only interesting if there's a little mystery!”
Although he was careless, the moment he held my hand, his movements became gentle. Contrary to his rough and reckless appearance, Tong Jun was actually a very considerate person. Not only that... he's a caretaker-I think it's mostly because he thinks he's the older brother. Although his younger brother and sister had not been born yet, he was already mentally prepared to be a " good big brother."
Just like that, he gently and carefully dragged me to a quiet mountain.
Under the golden sunlight, the endless grassland stretched into the endless distance.
"Quick, move forward!" A pair of warm hands pushed me away. I turned around and saw a big mischievous smile.
"Go forward, quickly!" Tong Jun tilted his head and looked at me smugly, pushing me forward.
I walked up the gentle slope and occasionally turned my head. I could see him smiling at me not far away and pushing the air.
When I reached the highest point of the hill, I was stunned. At the bottom of the mountain, the surface of the lake glistened at the green end. On the verdant grass by the lake, goose yellow, clear gold, light brown-colorful fallen leaves intertwined, presenting a beautiful dream-like scene.
Not only is it filled with the quiet and beautiful autumn, but the air here is also full of freedom, making me reluctant to go back. Then I remember being caught sneaking out of the house and being grounded for a long time.
Who exactly is that brat who harmed me…at least remember the face of the 'enemy.' But I felt that something dark was pressing on my optical nerves. It felt heavy, as if there was a tumor growing in his brain.
Was it because of memory disorder? Damn it…but he's clearly someone with such a strong presence…I have a feeling that he's someone extremely important to me. But who was he?
When my mind was in a daze, I saw myself in the dark mansion. It was as if I was in a completely still picture. There was no difference between day and night. It was dark and dead around me. The time within my courtyard wall gives people the feeling that it never flows. Not only that. I, who was in absolute silence, also seemed to be completely still.
After an unknown period of time, one night, I picked up a kite inside the courtyard wall.
It looks familiar, but it shouldn't be the kite I gave to Tong Jun. Although the kite I made myself looks very beautiful, I don't know why I can't fly it…
Oh, oh, but if you look closely, this kite that's painted like a goshawk is really made by me. He must have done some repairs. Ah, more than that, I saw the words written on the wings,"Up there-"
I looked up and saw a head poking out of the high wall-"Hey, kid-"
"Wow!" I was shocked.
The shout that escaped his mouth startled the crowd. With a head full of black lines, I pulled Tong Jun to avoid the fire and the guards. We passed through the winding path and successfully escaped into our own courtyard.
" I think you'll be interested." Once he stopped, he could not wait to smile mysteriously." I have something to show you!”
I opened my eyes wide and saw him take out an orange embroidered brocade bag.
"This is an amulet, right?" I said in surprise as I took out an identical blue brocade bag from my lapel.
"Yes!" He looked at the guard in my hand in surprise." Why do you have it too?”
" I heard from my father…" I explained to him that this was personally bestowed by the Spirit King.
"Oh, oh, mine too!" He laughed happily.
"That is to say-" He winked at me and said with a smile,""Ever since we were born, we have already had a very amazing fate!”
Looking at his natural and simple smile, I blinked in a daze." Well…when you say 'karmic affinity'…" Isn't this word a little too serious? " However," he interrupted me with a grin,""What a surprise!"
" Yes, me too..." I was nodding when I realized that the surprise he was talking about wasn't what I thought it was...
"You are indeed a lifeless and boring princess!”He grinned, revealing a row of neat teeth."I haven't discovered its secret after holding it for so long! This is the first time I've seen someone so uncurious. I'm really surprised-"
You must have the spirit of adventure! He smiled and rubbed my head.
Who exactly was this rude brat! The grievance he felt at that time was still fresh in his memory. However, regarding his face, his identity, everything about him…I was already in a state of confusion. I frantically searched for answers from my memories, but I still couldn't remember a single thing.
So even though the important male lead's face was blurry, I could only make do with it.
When I was young, I said to him with a cold face,"You wanted to do something to me before, right?" "Ah!" His eyes lit up and he patted his head.
"Here, take a closer look. This tattoo case-"
I nodded at him and told him that I knew the embroidery on the two guards was his family emblem.
Why did the Spirit King bestow something with someone else's family crest? Because it was not a direct gift from the king. My father told me that the five great clans that protect the Spiritual King each have their own responsibilities. As the direct attendant of the King, there is only one clan that can directly meet the Spiritual King.
"My family specializes in producing witches. Don't be such a mysterious person. Is that what you think?”He puffed up his face and sounded unhappy.
" Should I say Abstinence Palace, Imperial Hall…" I said with a black line. Although we are both God Attendants, we use different titles, so our statuses are far apart. They were clearly nobles who served the Emperor, so how could they be demoted to commoners?
In the future, I clearly understood that he hated the behavior of nobles and had no awareness of his noble status. This understanding of him began from this moment. At that time, he didn't dwell too much on this problem because he couldn't hold his breath and wanted to reveal his big discovery to me.
"Because sooner or later, he will become the servant of the king who will convey the Spirit King's edict. Therefore, from the moment my child is born, he will be given a guard by the Spirit King..."
Oh? I nodded in surprise. My father had a very deep relationship with the current owner of his family, but I didn't expect that this amulet was originally for their own family, and that the amulet I got from my father was actually a gift.
"You still don't know what it's used for, right?”
He moved closer to me mysteriously, his deep blue eyes shining brightly under the night sky.
He tried to keep me in suspense, but he was overestimating himself by comparing who could stay calm with me.
After a short stalemate, he rubbed his nose resentfully. " Hehe." After being depressed for less than half a second, he quickly became excited again."Let me tell you!" Pretending not to care, I pricked up my ears.
This is the pass to enter the Spirit King Palace!
" Eh-" I gasped in shock and quickly covered my mouth.
But it was too late. The voice clearly reached the outside of the courtyard, and then there was a shout-"Princess, what happened?”When he heard the sound of footsteps, he slapped his forehead with a sorrowful expression. "I'll come and play with you next time!" He spoke quickly, pricking up his ears to pay attention to the approaching voices, ready to leave at any time.
"Let's go explore the royal court together sometime! That mysterious place must be very interesting…"
When I was about to scream again, he covered my mouth. Mmmm…I glared at him as I cursed in my heart. Do you think that's a place where you can enter and leave as you please? Besides, you'll definitely be able to enter when you grow up. What's the hurry?
He pouted. "It's rare to recruit a new team member. I want to go on an adventure with Ah Chu!”I was completely defeated by his sunny voice.
"What I told you today is a secret between the two of us.”he said as he stroked my head.
A secret between two people? My eyes widened, and my cheeks felt a little hot.
"Did you hear that? If you agree, quickly nod your head!" I nodded my head repeatedly when she spoke in a melodious voice.
"Very good, then it's decided. Let's go on an adventure together!”He smiled and winked at me.
Suddenly, she felt a tightness in her chest.
That pair of clear eyes that seemed to have absorbed the stars in the sky seemed to have sucked my heart in as well.
"Okay, see you tomorrow, little girl!" He ruffled my head and jumped out of the wall at the same time as the door was knocked.
I pulled my face back to my usual poker face and calmly told the guards gathered outside that I just had a nightmare and not to make a fuss.
In the quiet night, I patted my beating heart. Just then--"You know what?" A head poked out from the wall again.”I couldn't say anything and just stared at him.
The little rascal leaned against the wall with his chin resting on his crossed arms. He tilted his head and said to me with a smile,"You don't talk much. We really match!”Then, he disappeared.
Could it really…be done?
I stared at the sky long after the head had disappeared. It's different from the usual gloom, I thought. The stars that I hadn't noticed before suddenly sparkled, making me feel that the sky was so brilliant. However, it could also be because she had been seeing his afterimage for a long time.
Who was it? Who was this person? I tasted the sweet taste between my lips and teeth as I tossed and turned in the dark. He felt the pain of biting his lips. Pain…then wasn't this a dream? Am I dreaming? I frantically thought, what am I seeing right now…?!
