Today x Future x Commitment

——To this day, you are still the light in my life

Because when you smile and nod

I am no longer confused

--------------------------------

Today Seleustin is his own

Kuzan did not intend to send people back to Sakaski's house after dark, as Porusalino suspected, but was very shameless and prepared to keep Seleustin by his side until Sakaski Until you come to ask for someone

The little girl in his arms was extremely light, her left hand tightly grasping the fabric of her front, her little face shyly buried in his chest

too cute

Kuzan looked at her red ears and smiled. The mania he had been feeling for many days was healed at this moment of holding her in his arms. At this moment, he no longer thought about the upcoming separation, or what might happen to him. to the death of Celeustine

I just want to spend a little more time with her, so that the two of us can enjoy the quiet dusk together without anyone disturbing us.

Thinking of the few simple conversations he had just before taking her out, Kuzan could no longer suppress the smile on his face.

Under the tree, he walked up to Selustine and stared closely into those blue eyes.

"Seliu, let me take you away."

He was actually in a bad mood at the time, and his tone was probably very cold and complicated, but the little blond girl was swinging on the swing and smiled at him

"Is it just the two of us?"

That smile was a little cunning, with a liveliness and agility that I hadn't seen in a long time.

"Well, it's just the two of us."

These simple words seemed to suddenly burn into his heart, and together with the smiling face in front of him at this moment, they were deeply imprinted in his heart.

I'll take you away, it's just the two of us

Such beautiful words, they soothed his mood in a snap and turned it into the satisfaction and happiness that only she could give.

"Then let's go, Kuzan"

Selustine winked at him playfully, her lips were still pale and bloodless, but Kuzan suddenly felt that she was like the person she was before experiencing these pains, well-behaved and gentle, with the unique charm of a girl. Naivety

So he bent down and picked up Selustine who was leaning on the swing. The blond hair swept across his chest, and the owner of the blond hair raised his arms and hooked his neck in tacit understanding.

The two hugged each other intimately, Kuzan's arms held her firmly, and she leaned against his heart peacefully, listening to the heartbeat close to her ears.

It's great. It seems like he hasn't felt such happiness in a long time.

Perhaps it was the pain that made her vulnerable, or perhaps it was the knowledge that she was about to leave Marinevando with Reiju, and Seleustin seemed extremely submissive to Kuzan's request.

She was just a little shy about him holding her while walking on the street.

"You haven't been out for a long time, right? Let me take you to buy your favorite snacks."

Seleustin nodded quickly, her big eyes seemed to be shining brightly, and she was held firmly in Kuzan's arms. Her little head began to look around at Marine Fando. streets

She thought that the snacks Kuzan was talking about were the ones he always brought for her recently, but in fact, the gentle man was talking about her memory, Seleustin's favorite food when she grew up in Marineland.

"There used to be glutinous rice cakes sold at the corner of the street. You might also like to eat them."

Looking at the fragrant Seleustin holding a piece of wagashi in her hand and taking small bites, Kuzan felt nostalgic.

That glutinous rice cake is also her favorite. Unfortunately, the person who set up the stall seems to have had a family incident not long ago and no longer sells glutinous rice cakes. Now she has no chance to buy it for her again.

"Kuzan"

"Ok?"

He lowered his head, and the little girl handed the wagashi he took a bite to his mouth, with a happy smile on her fair face.

"This is so delicious, you should try it too"

Kuzan couldn't help but laugh too. He bought this fruit for her, but now she used it to borrow flowers to offer to Buddha.

He lowered his head and got closer to the wagashi, and took a bite where Seleustin had bitten it.

"Yeah, very sweet"

The sweetness of beans filled his lips and teeth. Kuzan looked at Seleustin who was blushing with a smile.

Selustine took back the wagashi, her eyes wandering around. It was obvious that she had just handed over the unbitten side, but Kuzan still bit it in the wrong place.

Maybe I didn’t see the angle clearly and passed the bitten side over...

Kuzan looked at her tangled look and suddenly laughed happily.

Only then did Selustine realize that he did it on purpose. He was deliberately teasing her.

"Kuzan, don't laugh!"

The tall man weighed the little girl in his arms with evil intentions, which frightened Selustine and immediately hugged his neck tightly, fearing that she would fall.

"I'll take you to a secret base, Seryu."

As he said this, his tough face looked extremely gentle under the sunset, with a love that he didn't want her to hear.

A few streets across, there is a small garden, which is probably the secret base that Kuzan said.

He placed Seleustin in his arms on the soft grass, and sat down next to her. The next moment, he pulled Seleustin, who was looking around, and lay down together.

Seleustin was pulled by him, and before she could react, she was pulled into Kuzan's chest that still had her own body temperature.

Wrapping the little girl in his arms, Kuzan let out a long sigh of relief, closed his eyes and enjoyed the breeze blowing against his face.

Selustine should actually push him away, but seeing that he looked particularly tired after a rare relaxation, he still made no move.

In the chest where the ear is pressed, there is a heart beating vigorously, with an inexplicable reassuring power.

Selustine also closed her eyes and let herself be immersed in the aroma of grass and earth. The arms around her body were warm with the warmth of Kuzan, and it seemed that her wounds were not serious in this warmth. It hurts

"What a great place..."

"Of course, here is still..."

It was still your favorite place, but later it became a secret base that only the two of us knew.

"then what?"

The doubts and curiosity in her words caused Kuzan to lower the corners of his lips that he unconsciously raised.

“My favorite place”

In fact, neither Kuzan nor Porusalino care as much as Sakaski about the fact that Seleustin has no memory.

After all, if Seleustin also possesses those memories, Sakaski will undoubtedly become the only person visible in her beautiful eyes, and the two of them will probably play the role of bystanders. , completely unable to change that situation

It would be better to be like this now. Everyone is on the same starting line. There is no reason that Seleustin, who has lost his memory, will still like Sakaski as always.

That's so unfair, isn't it?

So both Kuzan and Porusalino just miss those memories, but are not troubled by the differences between reality and memories.

Sakaski is different.

From 0 to 1 is called satisfaction, which can easily make people feel happy.

It's different from 1 to 0, then it should be called changing from happiness to nothing.

In her memory, Seleustin's admiration and pursuit of Sakaski was completely unconditional. Sakaski gained her love almost without giving anything, and now suddenly she can only retreat to the status of a good friend. How could he accept such a huge contrast calmly?

On the contrary, for him and Porusalino, it was very novel and satisfying to be able to hug her, accompany her, and be known by her as a stranger. One day in the future, he might even be able to let her understand his feelings. , maybe we can also have a bright future that makes people wake up from their dreams with smiles.

The future...can they still have a future?

"Seliu, after you go back, please take good care of yourself."

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt the body in his arms stiffen slightly.

Sure enough, don't you plan to go back to Germa?

"Satisfaction, happiness, and all the beautiful things in this world are things that can only be experienced while a person is alive."

"If you close your eyes one day, all of this will be meaningless."

When you leave, my satisfaction and happiness, and all the beautiful things I long for in this world, become meaningless, do you understand?

He turned sideways and hugged Seleustin, who was stunned by his words, leaving a sigh in her ear.

"Be obedient, be good, and just think it's for me."

His chin rested on the top of Seleustin's golden hair, and he held her whole body in his arms. It was obvious that they were completely intimate, but he still felt that there was a layer of strangeness between himself and the silent little girl in his arms. estrangement

The gap widened with her silence, and Kuzan suddenly began to feel a little cold.

She couldn't tell whether it was because the sky was getting dark, or because the wind on the grass had become stronger, or because her silence represented something she didn't want to think deeply about.

Kuzan began to feel cold, starting from his arms, and the chill spread to his fingertips

"it is good"

A soft and caring voice came from his arms, but this simple word made Kuzan slowly open his eyes in surprise.

"I will, go try it."

Grantia knew that Kuzan had guessed that she didn't intend to go back to Germa, but just wanted to go to Shanks, so she stopped telling those lies, and instead gave such a very real one. promise

She lowered her eyes, and the smile she had always had turned into a heart-wrenching fragility.

No one wants to usher in the end of his life by accident, and neither does Seleustin.

She was just afraid that she might not be able to heal such an injury if she returned to Germa, and that she would never see Shanks again until she died.

She was afraid, so she would rather give up that hope, almost shrinking like a coward and choosing an option that was not the optimal solution.

But what Kuzan said suddenly made her understand. She was still unwilling to accept it.

I am not willing to give up simply like this and give up the opportunity to open my eyes and see this beautiful world from now on.

What's more, if Shanks knew that she still had a chance of survival after returning to Germa, but still chose to give up, he would not be happy, and he would even fly her to Germa as soon as possible.

Everyone around her valued her life so much. This realization made her very happy and she wanted to smile and continue to be by their side in the years to come.

Selustine raised her hand, slowly hugged Kuzan's waist, and buried her whole body into this chest that smelled of grass and trees.

"I promise you, Kuzan"

There was a bit of choking in the voice, and the skirt of Kuzan's chest seemed to be wet with tears. His big hands pressed on the back of her head and held her tightly in his arms.

"When I get better, will you still take me to eat Japanese sweets?"

Kuzan had tears in his eyes at some point. Hearing what she said, he suddenly laughed out loud and hugged the little blond girl in his arms tightly. His voice was filled with laughter, but he seemed to be relieved.

"meeting"

"Then can you still take me out to play like this?"

"You can do it anytime you want."

Selustine also smiled with satisfaction with tears on her face. It was as if at this moment, she and Kuzan were talking about the future that they thought would never happen again, and suddenly she was relieved of her fear of death.

"Not only wagashi, I can go find that glutinous rice cake shop for you and buy you a nice dress."

"it is good"

"Let me modify the bicycle and make the back seat more comfortable. From now on, I will take you all over the world. I can accompany you to any sea area you want to go."

"it is good"

"Go back and don't worry. If anyone bullies you in Germa, just tell me at any time."

"I will always protect you, so don't be afraid, I'm here for everything."

A small hand took Kuzan's palm, and the fingers were tightly intertwined.

"Then we made an appointment, no regrets"

How could he go back on his word? Kuzan kissed her on the top of her hair. In this vast tranquility, he made a promise.

"So you must be healthy and come back to me, Seleu."

"I am waiting to spend this life to fulfill my promise"
