Chapter 175: Unsightly

"La-la-la-la-la-la-"

The three of them played and made noises, staying in the city for too long. When Xier couldn't walk anymore, Mikael activated his power to return to the Golden Courtyard. It was already a silent night.

After sending Xier back to the room, Mikael hummed an unknown tune and walked around the corridor with Ellie twice.

No one spoke rashly. In their relationship, language was no longer a necessary means of communication. Many times, just by looking at the other person's expression, even the temperature of the palm, and the beating of the pulse, one could guess the other person's thoughts.

"Mikael... He wants me to help? Looking at his heartbeat, does he want me to introduce other girls to him? Let me think about it, among the girls I know, he is not familiar with them... Oh! Could it be her? But what does Mikael want to find her for?"

Ellie understood in her heart, but she didn't ask.

Firstly, it is better for Mikael to ask some questions himself, so as to reflect a sense of "distance" and "privacy", which is very necessary in the intimacy between two people!

Secondly... it is rare to have such a quiet and ordinary night, and she did not want to break this silence for a while.

This ordinary night, let it be spent in the chirping of cicadas and frogs.

Mikael obviously read this feeling, so the romantic walk under the moon ended quickly in a way that outsiders could not understand-Mikael sent Ellie back to her room without saying a word, and then stood alone in front of the door under the moon for a long time.

Then his footsteps drew a quarter arc in the corridor and came to the door of his room.

Without hesitation, he pushed the door open.

A faint fragrance flowed out along the small crack of the door. Mikael was stunned at first, and then inevitably showed a strange expression.

The door was completely opened, and the moonlight came in, illuminating the black and white nun's skirt on the sofa.

"Abonya... why are you here?"

Is it a coincidence?

Mikael was just about to find a suitable time to contact her, but she had already appeared here in advance.

No, it must not be a coincidence. From the perspective of ordinary people, she had no reason to do so. Therefore, there is only one possibility - she saw the possible intersection in the future in the complicated thread of fate.

So she appeared here.

"Oh? The reason why I am here should have been clear in your mind, right?"

As expected, Abonya asked back.

It was said to be a rhetorical question, but in fact her tone was too flat. If it weren't for the fact that the whole sentence was a question sentence, it would not be an exaggeration to say that she was stating a fact... No, wasn't she just stating a fact?

When Mikael thought of his purpose of looking for Abonya, he felt guilty and didn't know how to respond or what kind of response he should make. He could only sneer twice, adjust the light in the room to the brightest, and close the door.

He hurriedly poured a glass of water to give to Abonya, but after pouring it, he drank it all in a hurry.

"..."

"Hehe——"

Abonya looked at his embarrassed look and couldn't help laughing.

"Just like what Alicia said, you are really a cute boy."

Mikael twisted his thigh hard. He didn't understand why he was still like a child in front of her after so many life-and-death struggles. Is this the aura of Abonya's mother?

Or, did Abonya's identity and behavior successfully awaken the subconscious affection for the nuns in the orphanage in this body?

"Hehe, you're still a little embarrassed. But it's okay, relax, [please] let me straighten your collar for you."

She slowly stood up, walked to the slightly dazed Mikael, and lifted the collar of his shirt.

It was obviously just an extremely simple action, but with that gentle tone, Mikael's heart inexplicably calmed down.

As quiet as the night outside the window.

"Okay, [please] sit down, after all, this is your home."

Mikael sat down as he was told.

At this point, he finally regained a trace of consciousness. He pursed his lips and made up his mind to speak before Abonya to get the topic on track.

But the other party predicted his prediction, and just as the muscles in his throat reacted, Abonya asked again before him:

"Mr. Mikael, [please] ask, do you... also have the ability to see the future?"

An inexplicable impulse came, and the negative answer was almost blurted out, but it was stopped abruptly.

Mikael looked at Aponia suspiciously. Could it be...

"Yes, Mr. Mikael, I had anticipated what you wanted to tell me, so I had already been on Dr. Mobius's operating table while you were away."

"Is that so..."

Mikael silently checked his condition and felt that it was no different from the past. It seemed that Aponia...

No, if she really had the ability of the commandment as before, then even he would not be able to detect when she had issued the commandment.

Although he knew that they were friendly forces, Mikael still couldn't help but sweat a thin layer of sweat on his back.

"So, I'm sorry that I have no choice but to use my power on you. But Mr. Mikael, I still have to know that question - you also know what will happen in the future, right?"

A wonderful feeling came to my heart again, and Mikael had already answered before he had time to react.

Perhaps the question was asked in a different way, but the answer Mikael gave this time was:

"Yes I know."

Mikael touched his lips in astonishment, as if it didn't belong to him at that moment.

"Aponya, you-"

It is impossible not to be angry at all.

But suddenly, another thought spread in Mikael's mind - why did she ask that?

As someone who can see through the threads of fate, she should be able to read the answer she wants directly from the future. Why would she ask... to test him?

This thought arose, and Mikael became alert again, because he could not tell whether these thoughts were guided by spiritual power.

Aponya once again saw through his thoughts. She smiled and shook her head, indicating that she had done nothing.

"Mr. Mikael, please don't be angry. I did use this ability on you out of helplessness - please forgive me for having to constantly test you in this way to get a glimpse of the real you. Make a decision in your heart. Of course, I also know your doubts, so I will say it straight: Mr. Mikael, you are a very special person."

Aponya's words spanned too much forward and backward, and Mikael gradually felt that he could not keep up with her thoughts, and could only passively wait for her to speak again.

"Mr. Mikael, it seems that you can indeed see some kind of future, otherwise you wouldn't have no reaction to the word 'also' in my previous question, right? But the way you see the future seems to be different from mine. Different, otherwise, you should have expected the conversation tonight, right? "

"yes."

"Then, I roughly understand... Can you describe to me the future you see?"

"Wait a minute!" Mikael suddenly shouted, "Aponia, I have been answering the questions all this time, so in exchange for equal value, can you let me ask two questions?"

"Ah - of course that's possible. Please feel free to ask."

"...Apponia, why did you find Mebius Super Transformation on your own before I asked?"

Mebius must have resisted, and Mikael believed she was sensible, but she still did it, which meant that Aponya must have given a reason that was enough to convince her.

Mikael wanted to know what that reason was.

"Actually, it's very simple - when my eyes continued to follow the thread of fate, I found that my own thread would be with Ellie, Eden, Mebius, and Su in the near future. , intertwined with thousands of tribulations, and I will become a [non-human thing] just like them. I even know what I have to do: [Commandments], isn’t it? In that case, this is it? The shackles given to me by fate.

"So the reason why I chose to take this step by myself is very simple - I just want to do my best to resist fate a little bit, that's all."

Mikael let out a shuddering breath, it was indeed a good answer, but Mikael didn't believe it was the one Mebius got.

As if seeing through Mikael's heart again, Aponya suddenly said: "Ah, you want to ask what Mebius and I said, right?"

"It's actually very simple. She asked me to tell her the fate of the person named [Mebius]."

"Then how did you answer?"

The alarm bells were ringing in Mikael's heart, but for some reason, amid the boundless fear, there was also some expectation.

He knows the weight of the prophecy given by Aponnia, and he is afraid that Mebius will get an ending similar to the original world line. This is what he fears.

But what if that ends well? That's what he expected.

"You must be very excited now, right? Mr. Mikael."

"..."

"I did answer her, but it might not be the same as you think - I only answered her with one word, an answer that I really got:

"Not impressive."
