Neighbors in forbidden land

Perhaps, I never tried to understand them, and they never tried to understand me.

But in fact, the relationship between people is like this, right?

Even a family may not be able to truly understand each other.

However, as long as you keep the other person in your heart, you will be fine.

I remember that every year in the past, when the birthdays of my father, mother, younger sister... people around me approached, they would hold celebrations in advance.

Splendid hall, melodious music, luxurious decoration, splendid food and beverages, distinguished guests coming and going... The scenery seems to be the same again and again.

It was indeed an important day, and indeed there was enough celebration to deserve the word "important".

An endless stream of nobles sent congratulatory words in different ways, and the congratulatory gifts coming and going almost filled the room on the side, and everyone had a smile on their faces, as if everyone So happy for these birthdays.

My sister and I will also put on dazzling dresses, and accompany our father, queen and queen to the crowds, smiling politely, to welcome those familiar or unfamiliar guests.

At times like this, my well-behaved younger sister can always do better than me. Looking back now, perhaps it can be seen from that time that my younger sister is more suitable for the throne of this country than I am.

Under the interweaving of brilliance and music, everyone is clinking glasses politely. Although it is a birthday celebration, in general, the topic is not much different from the countless evening parties. The maintenance and repair of the magic barrier, the treasury The expenditure, the big and small things that happen in the country are all talked about.

At first, I thought that the so-called birthday party should not be such a thing, even though there will be many people communicating with the "protagonist" of the banquet, and the "protagonist" of the banquet seems to never be short of people, singing, and joy. Celebrations, gifts, praise...these things.

Even if I feel that something is wrong, I gradually get used to it.

In fact, the most important thing in a birthday party is not the birthday, but the party.It doesn't matter whose birthday it is, after all, everyone just gets together under this name, discussing things that are discussed every day, and exchanging commonplace questions.

Gradually, I learned to leave the glorious banquet hall by myself and go outside to take a breath. After all, only at that time can I feel more comfortable.

My younger sister, Azusa and the teacher will express their blessings in their own ways, and only at that time can I slightly feel that this is indeed a birthday, not something else.

But as I get older, YuriAcgn always feels that these things are becoming more and more indifferent when watching the public G public L number.

Every time I see the palace getting busy, I know it's a certain festival, or someone's birthday is coming.

It's just that the real blessing is not something that requires so much fanfare, nor something that requires such careful preparation.

All it takes is a truly caring heart.

Although in the palace, this feeling is not obvious, and the strong emotions in the book will not happen in real life.

After all, such is the environment.

Opening the window and looking at the brightly lit city-state in the dark, I would occasionally think, what kind of thoughts are the people in those bright and dark firelights holding?

Although I don't understand it, I believe that they must have purer thoughts and experiences.

So, today, I may feel it.

I originally thought that I was just an abandoned person.

Exiled to a forbidden land, with these uncontrollable magic eyes, no one accepts her.

When I met Xiao Hei and the others, I felt that maybe this is my real place to live. If there is something that I am not satisfied with, I just need to change with Xiao Hei and the others.

I used to think that the palace just abandoned me, so last time they took me back, I didn't want to stay there any longer.

No matter how much I have in the past, no matter how I lived in the past, now, this side... is my life.

I once made up my mind that I am the water that has been poured out, and now I am here, beside Xiao Hei, is my destination.

But after hearing the words "Happy Birthday", tears still flowed down uncontrollably.

Perhaps, it was not they who threw me out, but myself who threw myself out.

Even if I have been persuading myself not to have any nostalgia, some things still remain in my heart.

The time we used to live together is not fake. I also played hide-and-seek with my sister in the palace, I also skipped the teacher's class, I also played with the guard dog in the backyard with Azusa, and I once had the arms of the father king and the mother queen .

Even if we can no longer play hide-and-seek, even if I myself start to teach Xiao Hei and the others, even if I can only play with Xiao Hei and them now, even if I only have Xiao Hei's arms now.

We have grown up, maybe we parted for various reasons, but we didn't give up on each other, we just had a new life.

After understanding this, I seem to have calmed down a lot.

only……

"Little black?"

But only my own voice echoed in the lounge.

By the way, I remember telling them to leave me alone for a while... How long has it been?

Where did they go again?

"Xiao Hei!" I tried to increase the volume, but what responded to me was the echo of something quickly stepping on the wooden boards in the aisle, and——

"I'm here!" The reassuring response and...

"Boom!" There was an uneasy falling sound.

"What are you doing, you..." I stood up slowly, walked towards the place where Xiao Hei fell, squatted down habitually, trying to help her up, but...

"Xiao Hei, why... are you so wet?" The touch of Xiao Hei's clothes soaked in water and water-stained skin came from the fingertips, "What did you guys do?"

"La la! Let's go to the sea!" I heard Xiao Gu's still cheerful voice, and... the sound of splashing water.

"You ancient loach..." and Lan Xue's powerless voice. "Where is the towel? Wipe it quickly, and then change your clothes... I should sew two more..." Although Xiao Hei and the others still wore the same set of clothes and the cloak woven with leaves and vines, But now that I think about it, I really should sew another set, and then I won't wear that crude cloak anymore.

I get up and fumble in the dark for the towel, which I remember hanging on a rack behind me...

"Come forward, a little further to the left." Xiao Hei's instructions came from behind, and I groped forward twice according to what Xiao Hei said, and soon found the towel hanging on the shelf.

There is basically nothing wrong with Xiao Hei's instructions, and they have always been the clearest signposts since I came to this land.

Although Xiao Hei once fell into the pit for various reasons, but such a thing has not happened for a long time.

In addition to the fact that I am more familiar with the environment here, the more reason is because I already believe in Xiao Hei's instructions.

If there is no Xiaohei, before my body collapses, my spirit will have already broken down.

Of course, there is nothing like secretly opening your eyes to see the way.

I hurriedly turned around, took a few steps back to Xiao Hei's side, and then wiped Xiao Hei's long hair with the towel in my hand.

Judging from this feeling... it is estimated that the whole body is soaked.

"Xiao Gu and Lan Xue are also here." Basically, it can be judged that their bodies are all drenched. After all, there are few things that can make Xiao Gu so excited. "Have you gone to the sea?"

"Hmm." I wiped Xiao Hei's long hair carefully with a towel, only to hear Xiao Hei's simple reply.

"Well, it's the sea!" Xiao Gu's voice also approached "dong dong dong", probably crawling over directly.

"I don't need it anymore, it's basically frozen into icicles and shattered." Lan Xue refused my help as usual.

"What are you going to do in the sea?" If their bodies were covered with sea water, it would be more than a simple matter of wiping them off, they would probably need to be washed well. I remember they brought saponins from there... Let's take a shower in a while.

"Help Yimi find a birthday gift?" Xiao Hei answered my question with a natural look.

"Birthday gift?" I was puzzled and simply wiped Xiao Hei's arm or something. After all, it was too wet, and the clothes were clinging to the body.

"Yeah! Lan Xue said that I need a gift for my birthday! So we went to find it!" Xiao Gu said while throwing the sea water in my face, but at this moment I couldn't care too much.

"It was their idea, I just told them what their birthday is."

"How many of you..." I tried Xiao Gu's body with a towel, and she was basically "submerged" like Xiao Hei. Although Xiao Gu could control the water flow, she seemed to like the feeling of water on her body, so She seldom uses her ability to drive off the water on her body, so she can only wash it together, "Forget it, let's wash it first... It won't be clean after wiping it like this."

"Wait a little bit, Yimi, you don't need to wash it." It's rare that Xiao Hei actually gave a completely different suggestion.

"why?"

"Because you have to go down again?"

"why?"

"Because Yimi, your birthday present is in the sea."

"Haili...can't you bring it up?" I changed to help Xiaogu wipe her body while communicating with Xiaohei, and Xiaogu let me wipe her hair quietly and obediently.

"It seems that I can't get it...and even if I get it, it doesn't seem to be of any use now?"

"What are you talking about..." Fortunately, Xiao Gu's hair is relatively short, so it's easier to wipe off, unlike Xiao Hei's hair... I guess I'll have to wash it seriously in a while.

"I don't know what that is called either."

"..." Xiao Hei has been saying all kinds of strange things since the first time I met her, this time it was especially obvious, "I don't even know what it is, so I used it as a birthday present?"

"Well...I always think you will like Yimi."

"You really dare to say it... Then go and have a look?" Let's talk about the bathing thing later, otherwise, it will be troublesome to wash it twice.

"It's not enough now." As a result, Xiao Hei's words interrupted the plan in my heart again.

"Why is this again?"

"Because it's only at night."

"...then take a shower now."

"Can't you wash it when you come back at night?"

"How could it be possible to wait so long? It's not even noon now, is it?"

Afterwards, I dragged the three of them to the bathroom on the lowest floor of the cabin. Even though Lan Xue was dragged there by Xiao Gu, I couldn't move them at all.

The lowest floor was named the bath room by me, but it has become a bath room with a strawberry growing field.

I really didn't expect that one day I would become like this, taking a bath in a room with strawberries... It sounds strange... But only the bottom of the cabin has such a wide space. There are many things that can only be studied slowly.

For example, how to take a hot bath.

First of all, you need to pierce the bottom plank of the ship. After all, part of the ship is soaked in the sea, and the other part is on the beach, so of course you have to choose the part below the beach to pierce. It's over, the problem of removing the floor can be handed over to Xiao Hei and Lan Xue.

Secondly, it is necessary to dig a big hole under the pierced wooden board that can be used by several of us, so that it can be made into a beach bathtub. The problem of digging the hole can be left to Xiao Hei and Lan Xue to solve.

Then, it is necessary to use a pot to heat the fresh water. The problem of boiling water can be left to Xiaogu to solve.

Finally, the hot water and the cold water for neutralization are injected into the pit. This problem can be left to Xiaogu to solve.

That's it, and all I need to do is help them take a bath, but this is the most difficult problem, because...

"yeah!"

"You ancient loach, don't touch me! Don't splash water!"

"Can I take a shower while running like this?" Being able to soak your body in hot water, surrounded by diffuse moisture (although I can't see it), and soaking in the cabin without worrying about the sun, this is already a thing It's a very good thing, although it's always not good to face them naked... But conditions don't allow it, can't we wash them one by one?Can any of them take a bath by themselves?Not to mention the inability to undress.

But my side always seems to be so jubilant, splashing hot water flying around, and occasionally the sand will be rolled in, and sometimes I will be knocked over by Xiao Hei Xiao Gu or Lan Xue without knowing it. In this humble bath.

"Be quiet! Be quiet in the shower—" When I yelled, the hot water covered my face in response.

"Don't think——I don't know it's you if I can't see it, little Gu!"

"Discovered!"

"It's strange if I don't find it, who else is here!"

"It could also be Heihexue!"

"I don't bother to do such a thing."

"I've been very quiet..."

"Little Gu, stop!"

I'm not some quiet princess, never have been.

I'm just a normal girl, that's all.
