I will never give in to Miss Death

Since I always chat with Ouyang Xue when I have free time these days and learn some tips from her about girls' daily life, I have been doing most of my hair myself recently.

I can do two hairstyles now. One is similar to that of young Chtholly, with two small twin ponytails on top of my head and the long hair at the back draped behind me. The other is long twin ponytails like a little girl, a bit like Hatsune Miku.

But because I was an uncle before and didn’t have the props that girls use to tie their hair, so until now, the two ribbons on my head were given to me by Ouyang Xue.

At this time, I was "flying" in the air with a ponytail and long hair at such a high speed that my bangs were completely out of control and flew straight beside my ears.

Since it’s Xia Mo, she will definitely not harm me, so I should believe her.

Thinking of this, I relaxed my body and instinctively put my arms around the body of the person closest to me.

"Don't worry, I won't let you fall."

Yin Xiamo's voice came from above again: "Nuo'er really looks like a kitten."

"It's not you yet..."

I didn't know how to refute for a moment, so I had to change the subject: "Where are you taking me?"

“My first home in this world.”

Amid the whistling wind, Yin Xiamo didn't seem to be flying completely. I felt that she would land steadily every once in a while, and then there would be a feeling of weightlessness. After repeating this several times, it seemed that she made a big leap at last, and the whole world became quiet.

"All right."

I was able to put my feet on the ground, and as the sound of the waves gradually became clearer, the girl next to me whispered, "You can open your eyes now."

"..."

……

[QAQ I don’t know if I have caught a cold again these past two days. I feel dizzy, weak hands and feet, and panicky. I will update less frequently for the time being. I will rest well and try to recover as soon as possible... I am very sorry OTZ]

No. 135 For Azeroth

The place Yin Xiamo brought me to was the Nannagi Tower.

To be precise, it is the top of Minami Nagi Tower, a slightly inclined small platform with a roof structure.

It seems that this place is used to shelter from wind and rain, and there are no stairs or poles to climb up around.

Because the terrain is very high, there is the sea in front of me, and my feet are more than a hundred meters from the ground. In addition, the sky is full of stars, and the starlight shines directly on the rocks on the coast, sparkling. I was shocked when I first opened my eyes.

Then I reflexively grabbed the arm of the girl next to me.

"Are you scared?"

Yin Xiamo seemed to be looking at a kitten who was nervous about a doll, and her tone of voice became much more doting: "You can see the whole ocean from here. When the wind blows at night, the sound of the waves is very similar to that of another world. I like to sit here, looking at the sea in front of me, listening to the sea breeze, and slowly falling asleep."

"Sleeping here?"

I looked around the lighthouse and found that only the ground around its edge was flat. If I wanted to sleep... that was the only place.

But will they really not fall down due to moving around at night?

The top of Minami Nagi Pagoda is like a super large pot cover, with a tilt angle of about ten degrees. The edge of the "pot cover" is a flat circle with a diameter of about one meter, a bit like a small windmill by the river without windmill blades. If it is daytime, lying here to bask in the sun seems to be a good choice.

So Yin Xiamo flew up directly just now, right? That must be the case, right?

I looked at the sea ahead again.

Minami-nagi Tower, a lighthouse, as the name suggests, is a tall tower on the seashore that illuminates the sea and points the way for lost ships or passers-by.

The "light" of the tower under Yin Xiamo and I's feet is set in the middle of the bottom. It will flash every once in a while, but because we have this "big pot cover" blocking our feet, the very dazzling light under the lighthouse will not shine directly up.

Standing on the top floor of Minami Nagi Tower, looking at the lights flashing under your feet and spreading towards the sea in front, it feels like you are stepping on the light and overlooking the whole world.

"Well, you can try."

Seeing that I was afraid of heights and looked very cautious, Yin Xiamo smiled slightly. She took my hand and led me to the edge of the "pot lid" under my feet: "Come on, bend down... Don't look down first, okay, sit down, okay."

With the help of Yin Xiamo, I suppressed my fear of the height of several hundred meters, simply adjusted my skirt, stuck the lower skirt to my underwear as a temporary cushion, and sat down on the edge of the top of Nannai Tower with my feet together.

"It's okay, don't worry, if you accidentally fall, I will catch you no matter what."

Seeing me sit down, Yin Xiamo on my right loosened her hand and asked, "How do you feel? Are you feeling better?"

The high-powered lights below were still flashing.

Once, twice.

It illuminates the surrounding scenery, as well as the black sea and horizon ahead.

This is a very remote slope.

Except for the Nannagi Tower and a small wooden house under the tower, the surrounding area is almost entirely covered with shrubs and wasteland. Even the nearest human buildings can only be seen after walking more than a kilometer along the coastline, where you can see a few thatched houses of fishermen.

Everything here seems to be isolated from the world. The old man silently watches the sea every day. Fishermen not far away go out to sea to catch fish every day, keeping some for themselves and selling some to merchants who come to buy them.

A small piece of open space behind the lighthouse has been transformed into a vegetable garden. The elderly living here may not even know how to use a mobile phone. They are far away from the hustle and bustle of the world and also away from... the prosperity of the human world.

"As for my mood, I'm always in a good mood."

Facing Yin Xiamo's question, I turned my gaze to the sea ahead, stretched out my two feet and kept shaking: "I'm glad to meet you and so many other people. Although the new job is a bit hard, the salary is high, so it's worth the effort."

The most important thing is that this kind of life can see the future.

I work in a coffee shop, and when I get back to my rental apartment at night, I type and update my posts. I have two jobs, and the commission from the opening of the rental apartment in the past few days alone is several hundred or even a thousand yuan. If this trend continues until the end of the month, plus the basic salary, my salary this month will be stable at 10,000 yuan. If the coffee shop develops in the future, it is not impossible for this salary to become 15,000, 20,000, or even 30,000 yuan.

I save 10,000 or 20,000 yuan a month from my job, and use 1,000 or 2,000 yuan a month from my novel royalties for living expenses. This way, I can save over 100,000 yuan a year.

When I was still an uncle, no matter how hard I tried, I was always at the bottom of society because I was not tactful and didn’t speak sweetly enough. My monthly salary was just enough to maintain my basic needs and pay for rent. I couldn’t even think about eating better meals or buying better daily necessities, let alone a house or a car.

Now both my work and interpersonal relationships are on the right track, and I have Yin Xiamo... well, you can consider her a good friend. I am very happy to have such a good friend.

Of course, I can’t just let go of all the things she did to me as the god of death!

"He likes to sit on the rocks by the sea like this, staring at the sea in a daze, and not speak for a long, long time."

The girl next to me moved slightly and came close to me: "When I was in another world, the last time I sat on the seashore was hundreds of years ago. At that time, we won the war. I sat on the same rock as him and watched our fleet slowly disappear on the horizon..."

"Orcs, elves, demons, humans... so many people are cheering behind me. They are happy for the victory of the war, but I can't be happy."

"Because I... won the world, but lost him."

I turned my head: "You like him very much."

"Do not."

Yin Xiamo shook her head and stared at the flickering sea level: "I love him."

"Well……"

"But I didn't have the time to confess to him. At that time, I didn't know the rules of human society."

The girl smiled bitterly: "Actually, he should hate me."

"what?"

"His hometown was destroyed. The demon army destroyed the village and wheat fields and killed most of his relatives. I... was a widow among that group of demons, or demon nobles."

As if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her, Yin Xiamo spoke in a very soft tone: "I am the youngest princess of the demon clan. When my mother gave birth to me, the demon clan was in a period of civil war. I am also the one with the lowest magic tolerance among all of my mother's children... Ah, you may not understand what I am saying now. In short, when I was just born, I had the worst qualifications among all the high-level demons, including martial arts, magic, talent... So bad that all my relatives, including the royal nobles, despised me and proposed to demote me to a low-level demon."

"Then I was exiled by my mother and uncles. They abandoned me like a kitten or a puppy. When they destroyed my hometown, they also threw me into the ruins, intending to let me fend for myself."

Yin Xiamo lowered her head and said, "I think he should know who I am, and what the devil mark on my body meant at that time. But he still took me away from the ruins, just like picking up a homeless animal."

"I dreamed a lot about you guys."

Seeing that Yin Xiamo didn't continue, I whispered, "I was just like a bystander. I saw you meet, get to know each other, and then travel together. But until now, I still don't know how the brave man died."

"It's better if you don't look at memories like that."

Yin Xiamo raised her head and smiled: "Very sad."

"Were you betrayed by the person closest to you?"

"Well, he met a lot of people during his travels. If I had to say, my position in his heart was not even one-tenth of those friends."

Yin Xiamo stretched out a hand and placed it on my right hand.

Maybe it was my dignity as an uncle that was playing tricks on me, plus Yin Xiamo's personality was softer today than usual, making me feel like she was a "girl next door". I instinctively pulled my hand out and then grabbed her hand again.

"The cat's paw comes first principle?"

This little action of mine made Yin Xiamo laugh out loud: "Nuo'er, why are you so cute?"

I was dumbfounded: "What cat's paw principle?"

"Don't kittens usually hate people touching their paws?"

Yin Xiamo explained: "There are many cat-related videos on the Internet that are like this. If the owner puts his hand on the cat's paw, the cat will definitely pull the paw out and put it back on the owner's hand, no matter how many times it happens."

"Eh……"

I thought: "I've learned something new. I'll try it tomorrow at the coffee shop when I'm at work..."

Then I realized something was wrong: "Wait, I'm not a cat!"

"You just realized it?"

Yin Xiamo covered her mouth and said, "So Nuo'er is like a little pet, very cute and suitable to be kept at home."

"It does not make sense!"

I was dissatisfied: "Weren't you just telling the story of that brave man? Since you think I am him, then...then you should be in awe of that guy, right? At least worship him? Why are you so weird to me!"

"I really hoped that we could maintain the same relationship as before in this world."

Yin Xiamo smiled bitterly and turned her sight back to the sea: "But later I found that this world is completely different from ours. I received so much care from him before, why don't I take care of you here instead."

“Can you really take care of people?”

I tilted my head and said doubtfully, "Xia Mo, you can't even cook?"

"Can we not talk about cooking?"

"Then you've been on Earth for such a long time, but you don't even know how to use a computer, and your desktop is full of junk software. How do you explain that?"

"In another world... In another world, there is no such modern technology, computers... computers, modern people's things..."

Yin Xiamo's eyes flickered: "I need some time to adapt, don't you think?"

"As a god of death, you haven't saved much money after working for several years. You can't learn computers, and you can't learn the various rules of this world at all."

"..."

"As a demon, you know magic, can interfere with other people's lifespans and deaths, and can even hold me and fly 800 meters in a few seconds, but you can't change your body shape. After thousands of years, you are still between a loli and a girl. Your breasts..."

"stop."

When Yin Xiamo heard me mention this, she covered her forehead.

"You should continue talking about cooking..."

"..."

……

No. 136 I don't need any flowers for my condolence.

Yin Xiamo and I now feel like the protagonists in an anime.

Sitting on the tall lighthouse, looking out at the sea and the deep blue horizon in the flickering light.

Because I was wearing a skirt, when the sea breeze blew occasionally, I could feel the slightly cool touch of my thighs and the lightness of the fluttering hem of my skirt while sitting on the top of Minami Nagi Tower.

"In fact, I often wonder, even if I am the reincarnation of that hero to you, but in this world, am I really the so-called hero to you?"

Yin Xiamo and I looked out at the sea in the distance. We were silent for a long time. I whispered, "I don't have any memory of him. Even if I occasionally dream about what happened back then, I'm just a bystander, just like in other people's stories. Is a hero who loses his memory still a hero?"

This involves a very philosophical question.

I have never seen what a hero looks like, and I don’t know how people from another world position a certain “existence”.

At least in the real world, where there is no magic and both science and medicine are very backward, people only recognize appearance when identifying a person.

There is no such thing as time travel here, nor any strange things like transformation or soul possession. Because many things cannot be realized, almost everyone identifies their companions by their appearance and body.

Under such premise, "amnesia" is actually nothing. There are many examples of amnesia on the earth due to car accidents or some disease disasters. The brain has been permanently damaged. In serious cases, people don’t even know who they are. But regardless of whether he has amnesia or not, his relatives and friends around him will still regard him as a former companion.
