Hey guys, I like Two-dimensional

This must be what Chen Ling is referring to.but.But.However.The violent wave of emotions made Rokuro unable to make his body move properly.In just a moment, Rokuro's body will be penetrated by that light.

Ah, how terrible.

——Yes, "fear".

Fear of pain.Fear of death.Fear that he hadn't felt for a long time spread in Liu Gho's heart.

but.

"Goo!"

The next moment, the fear Rokuro felt was overshadowed by other emotions.

Chen Ling hugged Liu Gong tightly in order to protect her from the incoming light attack.

"what--"

"<Ice Puppet>!"

Along with this cry, an ice shield formed on Chen Ling's back, and a moment later, it was directly hit by a powerful magic cannon.

"Gah, ah...um!"

It seemed that the attack came suddenly, and the ice shield made in an instant seemed unable to withstand the force.Along with the pain, Chen Ling and Liu Gong were held in his arms and were beaten out.

Immediately afterwards, Rokuro felt a strange feeling.

After Mukuro thought about how the strange warmth that had been spreading around her until now suddenly disappeared, some invisible force began to pull her up hard.

It didn't take Rokuro long to notice that it was gravity.Liu Xiu and Chen Ling, who were knocked away by the light, broke away from the strange realm that had been surrounding Chen Ling.

If it continues like this, it will fall into the atmosphere.Liu Dao planned to use the "Sealing Lord" to open a "door" in the space and escape to a safe place.But——my body just doesn’t obey no matter what.

"<Hurricane Rider>! <Ice Puppet>!"

Chen Ling said something.Then a whirlwind whipped up around the two of them, creating an ice wall.

"Are you okay... Liugong! Don't worry, I will protect you!"

After saying this, Chen Ling hugged Liu Gong harder.Thump, thump, the beating of the heart spread through the body.

"------"

A certain color emerges from the colorful emotions.

But not before understanding what that means.

The bodies of Liu Xi and Chen Ling had already sunk into the blue planet.

Chapter 586 A Dream Alone

Although everyone has different opinions on the age at which a person can discern things, but to define it as the age at which the earliest memory can be remembered, for me, it is five years old.

Come to think of it, I was alone at that time.

This is not a matter of perception.It’s not a philosophical topic like you are the only one who can understand yourself.It's just very simple, when you can recognize your own existence.Parents, brothers and sisters - that is, family - things that should exist as a matter of course, do not exist around me.

The feeling I had when I learned that I didn’t have a family—to be honest, I don’t really remember it.

To be more precise, I have trouble even putting into words what those feelings were like.

Of course, it would not go so far as to mistakenly think that it is a comfortable thing, but it is different from simple sadness and loneliness.To say why, because it is the feeling of losing the family you originally had.I feel sad because I feel the warmth of playing home, and I feel lonely because I am not alone.

I have been alone from the beginning, so I might be reluctant to even define this relationship as loneliness.

There's nothing you can do about it, after all, children with family members are "special".And I'm not "special," so there's nothing I can do about it.If I have to say it, I think it is closer to a sense of optimism and emptiness.

——But then again, how long has it been since then?

Those days suddenly came to an end one day.

I got a family for the first time.

Of course not the kind that is related by blood.It was just a couple who wanted a child, so they took a fancy to him and applied for adoption.

I can no longer remember what procedures went through to get me adopted.No, to be precise, although I vaguely remember what the staff said to me, I didn’t really understand what exactly was said at the time.

But it doesn't matter what happens with that kind of thing.

To myself.For me, who had always been alone, this was the first time I had a family.

This fact was too shocking, causing him to enter a state of bewilderment for a while.

Father, mother, and a girl who became my brother and sister.

What's yours, what belongs only to you, your family.

(Hello. From today on, we are family)

The moment I heard these words from my mother.

(—, ah, woo, ah ah ah...)

Tears burst from my eyes like a dam.

It was the feeling of bright colors spreading out in a world of only black and white.

Come love your own people.

Someone you can love.

So I vowed to spend my whole life loving these people - my father, mother, brothers and sisters.

......

"......Um?"

Chen Ling opened his eyes slightly.

"That was..."

It felt like I had some incredible dream.Someone in the dream had an emotional impact on Chen Ling. It seemed to be a dream that was nostalgic, but somewhat ambiguous...sad and warm at the same time.

However, Chen Ling was certain that this dream was not his. He had not been adopted in the past and had always been self-reliant.

Although he sometimes complained about his life experience and the parents he had never met, such emotions were rare. He was different from ordinary people and had always walked through it alone.

Therefore, this dream is not his past, it should be someone's past.

"Um......"

In his hazy consciousness, Chen Ling felt his cheeks were itchy and wiped them with his hands.

Then I immediately realized that what was hanging on my face were wet tears.And it is obviously not the amount produced by yawning.It seemed that he cried while sleeping.

"...Do you feel the same way?"

Chen Ling fiddled with her bangs and looked around.Soon, things were clearly reflected in the blurry vision.

It seemed that he fell asleep on the bed.What comes into view next is the pure white walls and ceiling.This should be <Flaxinus>'s infirmary.

Chen Ling slowly straightened up his upper body and stretched his body greatly.

My body is fine, but my body temperature is slightly high, which is considered a severe high fever for ordinary people.But this situation was just a trivial matter to Chen Ling, as his head seemed to have been hit, causing his consciousness to become a little confused.

It seems that even the body of a heroic spirit will sometimes be knocked unconscious or fainted by heat.

"In the end, in order to protect Rokugho, I fell from the universe with my head on the ground. After breaking through the atmosphere, I lost consciousness."

Well, if Chen Ling hadn't been a heroic spirit, he would have turned into ashes by now.

It is estimated that some weaker heroic spirits cannot break through the atmosphere like they are grabbing the ground with their heads.

At this time, the door to the room suddenly opened, and the elves headed by Kotori walked in.

"Excuse me...Wow, Chen Ling!"

"Oh! Are you awake!?"

Everyone's eyes widened in surprise.Chen Ling smiled bitterly and rushed over there.

"Ah...just woke up."

Chen Ling replied with a wry smile. Tohka behind Kotori seemed to notice something and tilted his head.

"Chen Ling, what's wrong with you? Are you crying?"

"Ah, no...just yawning."

It was a bit weird to say that it was a dream to cry, and Chen Ling smiled to cover it up because he didn't want everyone to worry.

"..."

Did she sense something from Chen Ling's attitude? Qin Li showed a suspicious look... But she immediately sighed and looked at Chen Ling again as if there was nothing she could do about it.

"Forget it. -Compared to this Chen Ling, is your health okay?"

"Eh? Ah...I think there's nothing wrong..."

Although all the girls knew that Chen Ling was not an ordinary person, the fact that he broke through the atmosphere while carrying someone still shocked many people.

Seeing everyone's worried faces, Chen Ling smiled and changed the subject.

"Where's Rokugao...how is Rakuhachi? Is she okay?"

Facing Chen Ling's inquiry, Qin Li said with a troubled expression.

"——I don't know. When we found Chen Ling, Liu Gong's figure had already disappeared. Of course, we also considered the possibility of being separated in the air and launched a large-scale investigation centered on your landing site. ..."

"Missing?"

Chen Ling frowned, while Qin Li shook her head as if saying "It's okay."

"Don't worry, even if she is in a state of self-lost, Liu Gou is still an elf in spiritual clothing after all? What's more, you have been protecting her, she will definitely not have any big problems. I think she is in After falling to the ground with you, I regained consciousness before you, and then ran away to hide somewhere.”

"Well, I guess that's right. I was still holding Rokuro before I lost consciousness. She should be fine. The possibility of hiding is indeed high."

After hearing Qin Li's words, Chen Ling breathed a sigh of relief.

"..."

but.It's really worth being happy that Rokuro is okay.But she ran away and her whereabouts were completely unknown. This date seemed to have failed again.

Chen Ling looked at his right hand silently, then clenched his fist. ——As if to confirm the feeling of holding the key that remains in the palm.

At that time, Chen Ling did insert the fake "Sealing Master" into Liu Gong's chest, thus opening the lock hanging on her heart.

But in the end this is just the beginning.Even if the lock of the heart is unlocked, there is no guarantee that Liu Gong will have a good impression of Chen Ling.In the end, it just reawakens Liu Xiu's sealed feelings - in the worst case, it may even cause her to have negative feelings towards Chen Ling.

Unfortunately, they were attacked by people from the DEM club, and Chen Ling and Liu Gong had no choice but to fall to the earth. In order to protect Liu Gho, Chen Ling lost consciousness and missed the opportunity to keep each other.

"Sorry, everyone. It was my mistake this time and the battle failed."

When Chen Ling said this, the elves all widened their eyes in surprise and shook their heads desperately.

"What are you talking about? Everyone knows how hard Chen Ling works."

"Yeah, yeah. Please don't say that."

"You broke through the atmosphere with someone in your arms. If you are still to blame for this, then everyone is at fault."

"I'm very depressed. Are you okay? Do you want to rub Oppai? I'm not developed enough to do it at all! Haha!"

Erya smiled as she said words that were difficult to respond to.Chen Ling smiled bitterly with cold sweat on his cheeks.

"Hey, is that okay!? What's going on with this service? Are you the Holy Mother!?"

Contrary to Chen Ling's reaction, Mijiu started shaking her fingers excitedly.

However, the topic was about to go off the rails, so Kotori and the others stopped Miku.

"Miku, shut up first."

"Ah~~Kotori-chan! Evil-hearted!"

"Ha...that's true. Well, being depressed is not the answer. Besides, it's not like nothing has changed at all, right? If you want to repay everyone's kindness, let's start by cheering up and moving forward."

"Ah, yes...as you said."

It's not that Chen Ling was particularly frustrated, he just thought it was his mistake this time. There were many ways to protect Liu Gong at that time, but he subconsciously used a less effective method.

However, the situation was urgent at that time, and Chen Ling did it subconsciously. He really didn't know what to say.

"By the way, how's the battle going at the base of <Ratatosk>?"

Hearing Chen Ling's question, Qinli sighed and replied.
