Surrounded by stars and the moon are two figures: a girl with the sun shining behind her, and a boy with dragon-like vertical pupils.
"The gears of fate are much more sophisticated than those junks on the Humpback Whale..."
Merlin smiled slightly, lowered his head, and continued to enjoy the coffee pudding on the plate.
Outside the window, the sky grew darker and a rainstorm was brewing.
......
In the café at 69 Flam Street, Aurora was curled up on the sofa with her hands on her knees, shivering.
Pearlis was sitting opposite her, sipping a cup of coffee in a dignified manner with a calm expression.
"..."
Aurora glanced evasively at her sister, then mustered her courage and spoke weakly:
"No...don't take me away..."
"Did I say I would take you away?" Perlis said lightly.
"Eh?"
Aurora looked up in surprise at her sister.
"We...we thought you...were here to take us back?"
"It would be nice if we could catch him back," Perlis put down her coffee. "The truth is, you can't go back even if you want to."
“Is that so…”
Aurora shrugged weakly and buried her face in her knees.
"Because of the Red Moon?"
"Because you, an idiot, jumped into someone else's chessboard," Perlis sighed. "I can break the chessboard, but the price is that everyone on it will die, including you."
"Oh..."
Aurora lowered her head, her eyes hidden by her long eyelashes, looking pitiful.
But she quickly raised her head, her eyes suddenly becoming firm:
"Then let's win the chess game!"
"For those flowers and plants in pots?" Perlis raised her eyes.
"That's right," Aurora clenched her fists stubbornly. "Even if you...you don't dare to do it, I will do it too."
She recalled the time she spent in the sea of flowers. The Tree of Life was surrounded by flowers, and everything seemed so peaceful on the other side of the starry sky.
But that day, the golden starlight attacked the sea of flowers, destroying every small flower in the sea of flowers.
"The goddess treats civilization as her chessboard and lives as her pawns. We cannot tolerate this."
Aurora looked directly at Perlis with a twinkling gaze, clearly challenging her sister's authority once again.
Although her butt was still burning with pain, the light in her eyes did not fade at all.
Perlis and Aurora looked at each other for a moment, then shook their heads.
“This won’t fundamentally solve the problem.”
"What do you know!" Aurora suddenly shouted, "We watched those flowers and grass wither in the steam with our own eyes. If we don't save them, who will?"
"This won't save everyone." Perlis added a piece of sugar to the coffee and stirred it with a spoon.
"You haven't experienced what I've experienced, so you have no right to judge me!" Aurora was angry.
This was why she hated her sister: she hadn't experienced the waves herself, she had only hung above the stars, yet she constantly denied her.
Looking at the world from a global perspective and experiencing the changes in the world firsthand are completely different things!
Only by truly experiencing the pain of those flowers and grasses can you know how to care for them.
And my sister is obviously not worthy!
"..."
Looking at Aurora who looked like a furry kitten, Perlis picked up the cup and took a sip of coffee.
Then, she spoke lightly:
"I've been through it."
“What have you been through? You are the Pure White Flame! Who can be your enemy?” Aurora became increasingly angry.
"Then see for yourself."
Perlis held out her hand and motioned for Aurora to take it.
Looking at the outstretched hand, Aurora was suddenly stunned - obviously, Perlis was asking her to read her memory.
This was something that Perlis had never done before, and Aurora couldn't even imagine it.
She was surprised at first, then she felt her anger rising, so she shouted:
"Okay! Let's study!"
Aurora grabbed Perlis's hand and interlocked their fingers, and a green halo suddenly spread out.
Tall towers, red light, black earth.
A rain of ice, the sky fell, and white flames rose.
The girl walked out of the icy rain and walked alone to the end of the world, spinning a butterfly knife and rushing towards the gods.
"...!"
Aurora suddenly retracted her hand, fell on the sofa, and looked at Perlis across the table in horror.
"You..." Aurora's breathing became heavier, "You..."
Although they were just fragmented images, under the impact of those information flows, Aurora vaguely pieced together an experience.
It is a dusty planet in a corner of the universe.
It was a war that led to the tower, screams rose into crows in the flames, and blood fell to the ground and scattered into flowers.
Through those shattered images, Aurora saw her sister—she was nestled against the back of the grave, the icy rain pattering down, washing away the hot tears on her cheeks.
"You... weren't a god before?" Aurora murmured.
She looked at her sister across the table with a look between horror and sadness - it was unimaginable that such a dignified and calm girl could have walked out of such an abyss.
"I've lost a lot, Aurora."
Perlis's voice was still calm, but beneath that flat tone, it seemed as if a tide was surging.
“So, I don’t want you to have that experience.”
"..."
Footsteps came from not far away. Aurora turned around and saw Miss Carly slowly walking towards her and standing next to Perlis.
She gently reached out a hand and smoothed Perlis's hair.
The two of them just got along in silence, creating a picture of a peaceful and tranquil life.
Their eyes were so peaceful, but Aurora inexplicably wanted to cry.
......
1) Coffee Pudding (Part 7) - 4k2- (2-in-1)
After leaving the dessert shop, Xingmo stood by the street, waiting for the carriage.
Thunder rumbled in the sky, clearly signaling rain was coming, and at this time in mid-October the waves of precipitation never seemed to recede.
Is it because of the storm narwhal? It seems the whales in the ocean haven't left yet...
If only they could stop the Imperial Golden Fleet...Xingmo muttered.
At this moment, Xingmo suddenly felt something in his pocket tremble slightly.
She reached out and found it was the little whistle that Miss Pollis had given her.
"Eh?"
Xing Mo looked at the whistle carefully and saw bits of golden light spreading on the patterns on the whistle, with ripples flowing outwards.
At the same time, the sound of flapping wings came from a distance.
Xingmo looked up and found that it was a little golden sparrow.
She stretched out her hand, and the little sparrow landed on her finger and pecked her fingertips gently.
As the little sparrow moved, a message suddenly popped into Xingmo's mind:
"Meet Aurora at 69 Flam Street."
what?
Xing Mo was stunned, and then realized that this was probably a message from Miss Perlis.
What's going on? Did Aurora come to visit?
This isn't good... Didn't Ms. Perlis say she wasn't feeling well right now? And Aurora seems to really dislike her sister...
Could it be that Aurora gave Miss Perlis to...
For some reason, the miserable condition of Miss Shu Ling emerged in Xingmo's mind.
Xing Mo felt his hands trembling at the thought of Miss Perlis's dignified and quiet appearance being destroyed.
The evil god... is so scary...
The evil god must be stopped!
Xingmo nodded at the bird on her finger and said:
"I know, I'll go."
Only then did she look at the little sparrow carefully: it seemed not to be an entity in the material world, but to be made of pure golden light, and each feather seemed to be shining with light from the stars.
Like... a soul?
For some reason, Xingmo suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity in his heart.
"You are..."
Before she could finish, the bird rubbed her hand gently, then fluttered away into the sky.
In a few seconds, she disappeared.
"..."
Looking at the flying birds, Xingmo opened her lips but didn't shout out in the end.
A carriage stopped in front of her, she opened the door and got in.
"Go to No. 69, Flam Street." Xingmo had a smile on her lips.
......
In the coffee shop, Perlis sat down next to Aurora.
This little guy has been trembling since he saw Perlis's memories, as if he was completely shocked.
Perlis didn't say anything. She just sat quietly with Aurora, looking at the empty sofa opposite.
The rain came, accompanied by rumbling thunder. Fine raindrops hit the street, stirring up mist and covering the glass of the cafe with a light layer of water vapor.
Aurora looked at the misty Flame Street. At that moment, the Citadel seemed so illusory in her eyes, like an unrealistic dream.
"I'm sorry..." she muttered softly.
Hearing her apology, Perlis turned around and gave her sister a smile:
"I won't bother with you."
"But I shouldn't have yelled at you like that..." Aurora lowered her head, like a kitten that had done something wrong, "I shouldn't have said I wanted to enjoy you..."
"..." Perlis smiled faintly, stretched out a hand, and rubbed Aurora's head:
"You've done a great job. I've seen the kids in the North City area. They're very happy."
