I will never give in to Miss Death

The temperature on Yueerlan Island this evening was slightly lower than in the previous half month and not as hot.

It feels like the temperature in cities near the sea or near large lakes and the Yangtze River is very stable. As I remember, this is because water has a large specific heat capacity, so the water temperature will not change drastically in most cases. As a result, cities near the sea will not experience huge temperature differences between day and night.

"This island is so beautiful, meow, and it seems to have a very strange sense of security."

Xiaomo and I sat on the top of the two "elephant trunk hills" on the sea of ​​Yueerlan Island. We sat on the edge of the mountain and looked at Dolly and Yueyue playing with each other on the shore ahead.

"Whoa, whoa..."

Under our feet, several killer whales were swimming around in the water as usual, making cheerful sounds.

The status of killer whales relative to the sea is similar to that of humans relative to land. They are creatures that dominate the ocean. Basically, nothing can hurt them except various tools of humans. Moreover, they have evolved a fairly complete social order. Just like humans, there is a killer whale community here and a killer whale tribe there, and they even have different "dialects" among themselves.

Some scientists have pointed out that the reason why killer whales have not developed intelligence is because there is no need to do so. Ancient humans had to migrate constantly due to various climate disasters and environmental changes. When they encountered wild beasts, they had to think of defensive measures, such as sharpening sticks into spears, and making fires to keep warm when it was cold. It is unrealistic for humans to increase their attack power as bipeds, so they can only increase their intelligence. Killer whales are the bosses in the ocean, and their intelligence stopped developing when it was almost the same as that of human children. I don't know if this statement is true.

At least the killer whales that often come to play with us on Yueerlan Island give me the impression that they are really intelligent, probably about the same age as seven or eight-year-old children.

"Because there are no sea monsters or demons in the ocean here. Lady Momo also said that if there is no demonic energy on Earth, there will be no polluted animals. So the animals here must be very clean."

In Elf mode, sitting on this high mountain, I can clearly hear the conversation between Dolly and Yueyue on the shore.

"Anyway, in the afternoon it was the first time I ate such pure fruit, as if it had been grown in the flower beds of the sacred heaven."

"Is it the thing called carrot? The red one, and the cucumber...so thick and long?"

“I like both of them very much.”

"But they look a bit like pornographic toys."

"You little pervert..."

These two little ones make me feel like a pair of childhood sweethearts who grew up together. Whether they are delivering takeout together in the afternoon or chatting like this, it is very heartwarming. Dolly is full of energy and lively, like an older sister, while Yueyue is playful and cute, like a little sister. The two complement each other and work together very well.

"Look at these water plants. They are very clean and look delicious."

"Is this really edible? Or forget it. There are still some dried fish that Momo bought this afternoon. I'll share some with you."

"I don't like eating dried fish."

"Just three, very small ones. I only have six left. You take three and I take three."

"Okay then, but Yueyue, you should also eat some seaweed later. It can replenish various trace elements."

Under the beautiful moonlight, the two sat down on a large rock on the shore. Yueyue took out a bag of small fish from her pocket and gave some to Dolly.

Kamihama spicy fish, like Kamihama squid strips and Kamihama small eels, is one of the three major seafood delicacies and local specialties of Kamihama City. Fishermen often catch many fish the size of fingers or even smaller than their little fingers when they go out to sea to fish. These small fish will be made into similar spicy fish and sold to agents with simple packaging.

This kind of small fish is delicious, but the shelf life is a bit short because the factory does not use vacuum packaging. If you can't finish it within half a month in the summer like this, it will easily go bad.

In human mode, I also like this kind of little spicy fish. Yueyue, as a cat, definitely likes it more. She can give three fish to Dory when she only has six little fish. It can be said that this is true love.

"After we finish eating, how about we run as fast as we can like usual? Just run around the island!"

"Eh? Are you sure you want to run here?"

"Hehe, I have already observed that the terrain here is very complex, with rocks, corals and forests, exactly the same as my hometown. Don't forget that I was born by the sea, so don't be careless!"

"So, I have to put all my energy into the fight."

"Come on, let's bet on the honor of the heroic cat-eared girl!"

"The honor of the Dolly family is on the line!"

As they chatted, the two of them, who had finished eating the dried fish, came to an open space behind the beach and stood in a row.

“Young people are still full of energy.”

Hundreds of meters away from Duoli and Yueyue, halfway up the mountain, Filo, who had transformed into a giant dragon, yawned with his huge dragon mouth open: "It seems like it's been a long time since we lay under the moon and sunbathe like this, right?"

"There's only one moon here, what's there to bask in the sun?"

Gabriel, who was finally pulled out after playing games on the underground first floor of the coffee shop for a whole day and night, held a glow stick beside Philo and said, "Comparatively, I am more curious about how this kind of thing is made. The computing power of the human brain is so poor, but they can invent so many strange things."

"There are a lot of people here, and they have plenty of time to think without being affected by various wars."

Philo said with emotion: "I remember there is a book about philosophy that says this - one day in the future, people reach the end of science and find God. Someone asks God if he has already predicted that we will come to this point. God said yes. When the creatures on earth look up at the stars one day and become curious about them, the hourglass of science will have already begun to fall."

"I remember you hated this the most. When did you start believing in God?"

"That can't be helped. Who told a certain little angel that his daily mission was to preach?"

As they chatted, Filo flapped his huge wings and flew into the sky: "Come up? Let's go see what Momo and her little wife are talking about."

"No, I have wings myself. Besides, why should I see them? A woman in love wants the whole world to know how happy she is."

Gabriel also summoned angel wings and flew into the sky with Filo: "It's been a while since we've been in the sky. How about we go around nearby? Don't worry about those two honey pots."

"Isn't this bad? I remember the satellites in the sky seemed to be able to see..."

"I hacked into the main system of the country's security department last night. Satellite surveillance cannot reach here. Let's go."

"What does it mean to hack into the system?"

"I learned some computer-related knowledge on the Internet in this world and figured out a lot of principles. In short, I have already controlled those satellites. Don't worry."

Then, a giant dragon and an angel flew high into the sky, under the bright moonlight, and flew towards the sparkling sea in front.

This scene was quite spectacular. Filo's dragon form was already very large, and Gabriel looked like a big light bulb when she spread her wings. Her wings glowed, as did the angel halo on her head. The two of them flapped their wings and flew away into the distance in the night sky. From Xiaomo and I's perspective, it looked like a scene from a fairy tale.

At the same time, Dolly and Yueyue on the beach also posed for a start -

"Run around this island as fast as you can. Whoever gets here first wins!"

"Okay, I'll give the number, three, two, one, go!"

"call--"

Watching Dolly and Yueyue running out like little squirrels, I took off my angel halo from my right hand on the mountain, lit up the halo according to Professor Gabriel's method, and raised it above my head and shook it left and right.

Come on, war horses and cats from another world.

"Noel."

Xiaomo next to her turned her head and asked: "What's the matter with bringing me here suddenly?"

"Why can't you come if you have nothing to do?"

I shook the angel halo in my hand and watched Duoli and Yueyue leave my sight. Then I put the halo on Xiaomo's head and said, "This is the only elf tree in the world. I am the elf queen here. Xiaomo has half elf blood in her body. She is my people. The people must obey the queen's orders unconditionally."

"..."

The girl beside him was silent for a while, then said, "It's up to you."

"puff……"

I couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Just kidding."

As I said that, I took the rabbit backpack next to me, took out a flute from it, and handed it to Xiaomo: "Here."

"This is……"

"When I was delivering food with Dolly and the others at night, I passed by a store that specialized in musical instruments and bought it."

I put on a "you must accept this" expression and said, "Dolly ran too fast. In order to prevent the customers who ordered takeout from noticing anything unusual, we would take a few turns around the destination after delivering it to see if there was anything fun there. Then we saw this and remembered that Xiaomo could play the flute."

This was something I specially asked the store owner to order. It had the words [Nuoer Xia Mo] engraved on it. The store owner said he would help engrave the words first and let us pick it up later. When Dolly and I delivered the takeaway and went to pick up the flute, the store owner collected fifty yuan.

"Well……"

Obviously, Xiaomo noticed the words [Nuoer Xiamo] on the flute, and then observed this beautiful flute: "The craftsmanship is much more exquisite than ours."

"I heard that literature, art, and music have never been favored over there because of various wars and cultural habits."

I smiled and said, "So girls like Xiaomo who can draw and play the flute are very rare, right?"

Although the Yin Xiamo in front of us is the clone of "Heimo", this "clone" is actually not the clone that most people think of in a broad sense.

Apart from not inheriting some memories from the "original body", she can actually be regarded as the "Momo" from another world.

It’s just that “Hei Mo” is divine. Because she has become the concept of “death” in this world, she is fixed in the universe. Many things in her memory are not far from the existence of “human”. So if Xiao Mo wants to communicate with us on a daily basis, she must be separated from her original body and meet me in the form of a “clone”.

The difference between them is like the difference between Madoka Magica and Kaname Madoka in "Puella Magi Madoka Magica". One is Madoka Magica who controls the Law of Circles, and the other is Kaname Madoka as an ordinary person. The ordinary Kaname Madoka can also be the magical girl Madoka Kaname. The Kaname Madoka who usually plays with Homura Akemi can also be regarded as the incarnation of Madoka Magica. After all, Madoka Magica has been fixed in the universe as a concept. When the core of a magical girl's soul is polluted, there will be a similar Madoka to save them, and there will be countless Kaname Madoka.

But in a sense, the Xiaoyuan who was with Homura Akemi was also special, just like the Xiaomo who was with me.

It can be said that although the current Yin Xiamo is a clone, she can indeed be regarded as the former "Momo" in another world, and she is special compared to those other clones that harvest souls.

"I... also learned flute skills from him."

Above the sea, the girl sitting next to me looked at the flute in her hand and stroked the middle membrane: "It was too quiet on the road, so he said he could try to find some bamboo and play music for me."

"Then the brave man's music must be very nice?"

"It's hard to hear."

Yin Xiamo smiled, not knowing whether it was out of helplessness or emotion: "Until he was betrayed by his companions and left us, he never played a complete and beautiful piece of music."

"That Xiaomo's music..."

"I taught myself."

The girl raised her head and looked at the moon in the night sky. "I studied for a thousand or two thousand years, on and off. Sometimes I didn't know what tune to use, so I freely pieced it together according to the melody I occasionally dreamed of."

“When I first heard it, I always felt that Xiaomo’s flute sound had a kind of sad but encouraging power.”

I held the rabbit backpack and leaned over to lie on Xiaomo's lap: "I want to listen to it again."

"Why do I feel like you're a little clingy today?"

The girl lowered her head: "Why, are you preparing to awaken and become a cat girl?"

“No, I haven’t…”

I subconsciously retorted, "It's just that I was delivering food with Duoli and Yueyue in the afternoon, and seeing them reminded me of something."

Unlike Filo Gabriel who often quarreled and even fought, Dolly and Yueyue had a really good relationship.

Although I really don’t know how a vegetarian Centaur and a meat-loving cat can be so close, they are really the best couple I have ever seen.

It’s like... two people always know how to be considerate of each other, know how to talk to avoid conflicts, and how to get along with each other harmoniously.

Xiaomo is very good at drawing and can play the flute. Although she may act silly in some aspects, she is willing to learn for me. This makes me feel that she is not a so-called "clone", but a real person just like all my friends around me.

When I was delivering a takeaway in the evening, I passed by the store selling musical instruments and saw the flute inside. Almost instinctively, I let Dolly go in.

Of course, the owner of the store was a little flattered and asked me what I wanted to buy in my maid outfit.

Fifty yuan is relatively expensive for a flute, but it does not meet the standards of "entry into the circle" or "audiophile". It is like... well, it is about the same as a pair of headphones that cost 500 or 600 yuan. It is slightly better than ordinary headphones, but still a bit short of those audiophile headphones that cost tens of thousands of yuan.

"This flute membrane... is made of something I've never seen before."

Xiaomo looked at the flute carefully and reached out to rub my head: "Thank you."

"The owner said that they used reed membranes, and there were spare ones in their bag. It seemed that most flutes had this membrane."

I asked curiously, “Is it bad?”

"Not really. The sound produced by blowing with this material may be crisper, brighter, and more cheerful."

Xiao Mo held the flute horizontally to her lips: "Then I will... give it a try?"

"Ah."

I closed my eyes: "Try Xiaomo's favorite song."

"beep."

"Beep beep..."

After a while, the whole world was enveloped by the melodious flute sound.

Because the moon is very bright tonight and there is no light source around the sea, even if I am lying on Xiaomo's thighs with my eyes closed, I can vaguely "see" the moonlight above my head.

The moonlight easily penetrated my skin, leaving silver marks on my eyes. Even my vision became a light yellow. Combined with Xiaomo's melodious flute music, I felt intoxicated for a moment.

This song... doesn't seem to be the one Xiaomo played at that time.

Confused, I tried to open my eyes and glanced at the girl above my head.

Xiaomo was so engrossed in playing the flute that she didn't seem to notice me.

Well, forget it.

Thinking of this, I closed my eyes again and enjoyed this somewhat cheerful and peaceful music.

"..."

Under the moonlight, one minute, two minutes, three minutes... I don’t know how long it has been. When Xiaomo’s flute sounded, I felt a small hand falling on my forehead.
