Chapter 19 Corridor

Alicia took a sip of milk tea and poked her head out of the corner to take a look:

Sure enough, Mikael was sitting on an iron chair in the hospital corridor, with a fist on his chin, wondering what he was thinking.

She tiptoed over to him and sat down.

"Huh? Ellie, you're here."

Ai Li curled her lips and said, "Captain Hen has taken care of everything. The military police of Brindi City have secretly surrounded Dusk Street and even deployed mechas in important areas, but no one is willing to go in. We still have to investigate on our own. "

"Are you sure that Velvet didn't sneak away during the opportunity?"

"I'm sure, other areas outside Twilight Street are not without surveillance. I have checked them all and found no suspicious persons entering or exiting Twilight Street in the past two days... Oh! It's not like there are none. Aren't you and Ymer the same?"

"..."

"It's a joke! Are Yimer and Pado okay?"

"It's okay, Pado was a little frightened, and then...she kept her head buried in my arms, suffering from a little lack of oxygen. She is lying in the ward sleeping now...Imer...was burned by a wax bullet on her hand. Oh, this bastard, I have to kick him back to the recruit camp after he returns!"

"Plop!" Seeing Mikael's indignant look, Alicia couldn't hold back for a moment and covered her mouth and laughed.

"Ymer is now...socially dead! After the report you dictated was sent back to the headquarters by Captain Hen, the headquarters criticized Ymer by name. Now all the Fire Moths know it and cannot control it. Ymer wants a grenade, hahaha!”

"Oh, by the way! Michail, when will you show me the other side of your face!"

Alicia pressed Mikael's shoulder and leaned closer to see the other half of Mikael's face.

Mikael turned his head away slightly. For the sake of his image, he didn't want Ally to see half of his face.

"Oh, don't be shy! Give me a look! Just one look!"

When the cold index finger gently touched the red and swollen cheek, Mikael's body suddenly froze.

The soft touch on the shoulders, the fragrance that hits the tip of the nose, and the girl’s blue and pink eyes that are as bright as gems...

At this moment, it was as if a hand had grasped his heart, making the long and powerful beating suddenly fill up for half a minute, and then speed up extremely quickly, like a delicate drumbeat.

Immediately afterwards, a wave of heat poured into his mind from his limbs, and static electricity began to explode on his hot back. When his gray eyes met the two flawless gems, even his pupils trembled unconsciously.

"Hey! Mikael, are you okay? Why are you shaking? Oh! Your heart is beating so fast!"

Alicia squinted her eyes, which was obviously a normal concern, but it gave Mikael a feeling of knowingly asking.

"Come on, just let me take a look, or are you being shy?"

She whispered softly into his ear.

But soon, this soft whisper turned into rolling waves, causing the lake in Mikael's heart to surge, and the small sailboat transformed from his heartstrings continued to rise and fall between the waves, and was finally carried by the reverse waves. He soared into the sky at a height of hundreds of meters.

"call……"

Even when he simply exhaled a breath, he did so cautiously. With the distance between Alicia and him, it was not difficult to hear the vibration of the breath.

Mikael stopped struggling and Alicia gently turned his head.

"Pfft...hahaha!"

He knew Alicia would react like this, but what could he do? He could only give her a helpless look at the right time.

The innocent feeling of clinker inexplicably poked Ellie's point of laughter, making her laugh even more unscrupulously.

"Hey! You can't make any noise in the hospital!"

Mikael reminded softly.

"I'm sorry...Puch...it's so funny...you are so cute like this!"

Mikael stretched out his hands in vain, letting Alicia support him, laughing so hard that he wanted to put his arms around her waist or hold his shoulders, but when his hands were halfway stretched out, they couldn't. He just gently lifted up a strand of her fluffy hair and rubbed it gently with his fingertips - he thought she couldn't notice it.

And when he closed his eyes helplessly, what came to his mind was the face of a repair dog that was destroyed by wasps...

Okay, okay...it's just swollen, it's funny, it's funny, as long as Ellie is happy.

Not to mention, being praised as cute by Aili made him feel a little secretly happy in his heart.

After laughing, Mikael suddenly felt a cold feeling on the left side of his face, so cold that his teeth became sore, but the pain of swelling disappeared almost instantly - it turned out that Ally had put the cup of iced milk tea on his face.

"It's not summer yet, so drink less ice..."

Ellie was angry and speechless.

Mikael quickly realized that milk tea was indeed meant to be drunk, but if it was iced, it would be just right for him to apply on his face.

"Look, let your face melt the ice cubes, otherwise it won't be ice! Hey! It doesn't seem possible, then the taste of the milk tea will be too weak..."

Alicia stuck out her tongue.

"Fortunately, it's just swollen and not disfigured by burns... Eh! No! Mikael, have you used your power to repair the burns? Oops! I didn't see that you care so much about your appearance!"

How is it possible? It's just because his Herrscher's physique prevents him from being burned by wax bullets.

Mikael was about to deny it, but he saw a flash of smile on Alicia's face, and he realized again that this was just Alicia's verbal teasing.

Dusk...

Another dusk.

The sky burned quietly, but the fire it emitted was not blazing, but warm, jumping through the window of the ward to the corridor, warming people's laziness.

If there is another beautiful girl like flying flowers lying on you, you sniff her fragrance, she applies cold milk tea to your swollen face, and sips it through a straw from time to time.

When she sips, the distance is so close that it seems to hold you in her arms...

Thinking carefully, the distance between the two has been so close more than once, but Mikael always feels that this is like an unreal illusion.

Even after so many years, he still worries, worried that he will wake up and return to that cold room again, turn on the computer, and look at Alicia through the screen.

Or, when he wakes up, the whole world has been destroyed, and he is left alone to face the endless dead white on the moon...

"Hey, Mikael, what are you daydreaming about? Can you hear me again!"

Ellie puffed her cheeks and poked Mikael's unswollen right cheek, pulling his thoughts back from a more distant place.

"Pado... What are you going to do after this mission is over?"

Ellie raised her left fist calmly, as if she was ready. If Mikael's answer did not satisfy her, she would just punch him directly - he could dodge it anyway.

"If she is willing, take her away... But... Don't let her come into contact with the fire moth..."

"I know it! Mikael, listen to me, this time, you... Hey! What did you say! You agreed to take her away! I said! Pado is such a cute child, how cold-blooded you were back then to leave her without saying goodbye!"

Mikael laughed twice.

When he came to Dusk Street a few years ago, all he could think about was Ellie and Ellie...

He once thought that Ellie was the bond that connected him to this world that was so far away and fake to him.

But how can one be connected to only one person while walking in the world?

It's like stumbling on a dirt road in the countryside. No matter how high you roll up your trouser legs and how carefully you walk, mud will inevitably stain the soles of your shoes and ankles.

Because these are all marks of the existence of life, they can't be erased at all.

There's no need to say more. Even if it will affect the development of the plot in the future, it's just like that. In this world where the end is about to come, how bad can the result be?

What's more, for a mortal like Pado, when Mikael met her again and she put on a flattering smile and called him boss, he almost cried and couldn't be cruel enough to abandon her in Dusk Street anymore.

But before leaving, he had one more thing to do.

And he didn't want that person to be taken back to the Fire Moth for the time being.

"Hey, did you cry just now?" Ellie suddenly looked at him in confusion. She had just caught someone sobbing.

"No...ah..."

So the two of them looked at the door of the ward together. Padu was standing there in a colorful dress made of sunset. She pursed her lips and tears fell silently, but the corners of her mouth slowly pulled open an arc, as if she was smiling.

I originally wanted to save up the manuscripts until I went to school on the 15th and then evolve to a two-update beast, but seeing that the new book period is already half over, and the rhythm of the plot in the next few chapters has been slowed down by me, I thought about officially entering the two-update from today!

Don't say I'm short in the future! Don't say I'm weak!

Hehe, if there is a chance, I can consider occasionally writing 10,000 a day, mainly because my condition is not very good.
