Ember Gun

   Fanwai Lorenzo Holmos’ retirement life (3)

  Lorenzo has always felt that he is an omnipotent person, from cutting demons to save the world, down to helping neighbors repair water pipes...It can be said that Lorenzo has always felt that he is a very versatile person.

But unfortunately, many people can’t see their own flaws, even Lorenzo is the same. For example, now, after living for so many years, it was not until this moment that Lorenzo suddenly realized that he was dealing with this kind of emotion. What a novice and ignorant when it comes to questions.

   "Ah! Ah! Ah!"

  Lorenzo let out a scream, like a girl who has been assaulted... But the question is, is this role reversed?

  Seleu looked at Lorenzo with a smile. The smile seemed to be no different in the ordinary sense, but now it seems that Lorenzo only felt cold from it.

  It's over, it's all over.

He tried to shrink back, but when he thought that his office was so big, he had nowhere to hide, not to mention that he still had a leg injury. Seleu!

   Now looking back and looking at Seleu’s smile, Lorenzo’s heart beat violently, and he felt like stepping into a trap.

**** thing!

Lorenzo cursed in her heart, and sure enough, this guy came here, it must be no good, and then it even made Lorenzo dazed that, based on her own understanding of Seleu, since she has said so, she must do it well. A complete preparation.

  Even if I ran out of the office now, maybe the whole street was guarded by the Seleucians. In the land of Old Dunling, the Stuart’s house is more horrible than himself!

   There was a weak groan in his heart, Lorenzo grabbed the blanket pillow angrily and threw it at Seleu. In fact, he didn't know why he wanted to do this, but he just waved like this instinctively.

   Fell awkwardly to the ground, then got up with great effort, and jumped vigorously on one leg. After two steps, he fell again.

  Seleu maintained his trademark smile, sitting in place, watching Lorenzo's performance.

Lorenzo's restlessness reminded her of the hounds she raised. These furry things always become particularly agitated at certain times. Under the excitement, even the body can't control it, slipping on the soles of her feet all the way and knocking down messy things. , Like a hurricane passing over the living room.

  Lorenzo is like a panicked dog at the moment, too excited, even normal thinking can not be done.

In the end he took a position that he thought was safe, took his cane and lay in front of him, trying to add a little sense of security to himself. It was just his gaffe that he faced was not a hateful monster, just a look A girl much thinner than Lorenzo.

  The picture is even more funny.

   "What's wrong with you...?" Seleu asked.

   "No, no, this is too sudden, this is too sudden..."

  Lorenzo began to speak incoherently, if he were a machine, he should have been overloaded by now.

  Sometimes the world is so wonderful, the dead mountain and blood sea may not be able to crush a person's heart, but a casual sentence can hit him by surprise.

  "Didn’t you realize this early? I think Mr. Lorenzo Holmos is not as stupid as that."

  Seleu kept smiling, and under her indifferent face, the smile faintly trembled, as if she couldn't help it.

   Suddenly Seleu realized one thing, she realized that she could actually draw the indescribable pleasure from Lorenzo's panic.

   "No, no, it's different, it's different!"

  Lorenzo speaks quickly. Of course, he knows Seleu’s intentions, but he has been able to prevaricate the past on the grounds of eradicating demons.

  At that time, he really didn't think there would be any results. One was a desperado who was an enemy of demons, and the other was the heir to the duke with great power and wealth... the current duke.

  The two are like people in two worlds, so Lorenzo never promised anything, and used this reason that has been used many times to dispel Seleu's heart.

  After all, when did you know how to die on the side of the road?

  But ah...but ah!

  Who would have thought that Lorenzo would really eradicate the demons? What the heroes of the hunting sect were unable to do, let Lorenzo do it!

   may be the ecstasy brought by this great cause, which dazzled Lorenzo's mind. He never thought about these messy things, until now Seleu mentioned it again.

  He... there is no reason.

"What's the difference."

  Seleu did not move, but the words were pressing every step of the way. Seeing Lorenzo's reaction, she enjoyed this sense of dominance.

  Lorenzo also realized this, and thought with grief in his heart that Seleuc had indeed learned a lot at the negotiating table.

  "This...this is like a terminal illness!"

  Lorenzo yelled.

  Started, Lorenzo’s wonderful metaphor.

   "It's like a terminal illness. The big guys know it, but they don't know how to tell it, right?"

   "But now I have found a cure, what can I say?"

  Lorenzo was stunned, unable to argue with Seleu, he was completely down.

  The whole person slumped down, sitting on the spot, with a cane in his arms, looking down.

   "So, Lorenzo, what are you afraid of?"

  Along with the voice of the voice, there was the sound of Seleu's footsteps. She stood in front of Lorenzo, then squatted down, very close, and Lorenzo could hear her breathing.

   "Don't be silent, speak up."

   Seleuc was very patient, just as Lorenzo had expected, if Lorenzo had just broken out, he would see some familiar figures, and then put him back, this hapless ghost had nowhere to escape.

  "Too...too strange, Seleu."

   After a long silence, Lorenzo finally calmed down and said slowly.

   "What is strange."

   "All this, all this."

  Lorenzo thought for a moment and continued.

  "The first half of my life...well, because of the **** antimeme, I can't remember it clearly, but it's not very good anyway, and the time I can barely remember is all bad things."

   Lorenzo murmured.

   "Demon..."

  Unfamiliar and familiar vocabulary.

   "The monster is like a shadow and has been with me all my life...like a terrible, stalker lover."

  He made terrible jokes, saying that he was amused by himself.

   "I know many things, Seleu."

  Lorenzo raised his calloused hand and shook it firmly, feeling the burst of power from it.

  I was much weaker than when I was a demon hunter, but he still held the sword and swung it.

  "Milling and arson, robbery, stealing, protection and assassination... No matter whether the opponent is a human or a monster, I can do it very well, and I am an expert.

  I am such an almost omnipotent person. After all, if not omnipotent, I will die on that terrible battlefield. "

  Lorenzo finished speaking and paused for a long time. Seleu waited. The distance between the two was very close. She could hear Lorenzo's heartbeat and bang.

   "Yes, these are all necessary items to fight against demons, but there is only one thing that is the least needed and the cheapest."

"what?"

"emotion."

  Lorenzo said the word, exhaling a muddy breath, and for a while, he felt unspeakably relaxed.

   "The demon hunter does not need feelings, so this kind of thing does not exist, even if there are signs, it will be suppressed."

  "You don’t look like a person without feelings now."

  Seleu stretched out his hand and pinched Lorenzo's face.

"Yes, but... this thing is still too strange to me, so strange... it's like facing a monster for the first time. Of course, I can't remember the specific situation, but I think I should be at that time Same as now.

  Fear, restless, and at a loss. "

  Lorenzo said what he wanted to say, yes, Lorenzo Holmos, who is terrifying and terrifying demons, is not good at these at all, or he is not good at honestly and honestly.

  He is a cunning fraudster. If he is asked to deceive someone’s feelings, Lorenzo thinks he will do well, but the premise of all this is that it is all false.

  But now it becomes real. The other party is Seleuc. If the opponent is a casual passerby, Lorenzo can deceive her and run away in a hurry, but the opponent is Seleuc.

  For whatever reason, Lorenzo could not tease Seleu casually.

But with Lorenzo's nerves, he was also thinking about what would happen if he really teased him, and then he thought, under the wrath of Duke Stuart, would he have a chance to escape the old Dunling alive...No, can Escape from Cork Street is victory.

   "In fact, this thing is not that complicated."

   Selenium cupped Lorenzo's face with both hands, interrupted Lorenzo's whimsy, and forced him to look at himself.

   "You just need to follow your heart, don't make any cover up, say what you want to say."

"Say what?"

   "What you should say, tell me."

  Ah...what are you talking about?

  Lorenzo did not know how long he was silent this time, his eyes gradually drifted away, looking out the window, the noisy street.

  Today, there are many people who are working hard, people come and go, go to different destinations, then have their own family, their own wives and children, get old, witness the growth of children, die, and then rebirth...

  This is what this world looks like, what all living beings look like, and now Lorenzo is also one of them.

  For an instant, Lorenzo felt the so-called "life" deeply, followed by the slight pain on his face.

  Seleu kept smiling, but the hand holding Lorenzo's face was slightly hard, like twisting a doll, twisting Lorenzo's face.

   "It hurts, it hurts! I say it! I say it!"

   Feeling the pressure on his face gradually reduced, Lorenzo felt that it was time for him to change his mind.

what…

  What should I say? Lorenzo knew Seleu's thoughts, and also knew that the reasons used to send her before did not exist, and in every sense, everyone was brothers who lived and died together...

  Indeed, some things should have an end, just like demons, like the story written by Oscar, just like everything in front of me.

"I think…"

  When the words came to his mouth, Lorenzo felt a kind of pressure that he had never had before, like a pile of hands blocking his mouth, and some were about to stuff his throat to stop him from speaking.

  He tried his best, his face was green, squeezing out all the air in his lungs, and said.

"I love you too."

  After finishing speaking, Lorenzo felt that the whole world was silent. It was not silent, but he couldn't hear it anymore.

   A few seconds later, the noise broke the silence, and it flooded Lorenzo's eardrums like a tide.

  He felt like he was sweating, just like after a difficult battle, he was tired to death, his whole body was collapsed, even his eyes were weakened, and he fell down.

   Soft hands gently held up Lorenzo's face, not letting him look away, but Lorenzo's eyes flashed as if hiding something.

   "Yeah, are you blushing?"

   A slightly mocking voice sounded, Lorenzo was hugged as soon as he was about to return his mouth, and then Seleu whispered in his ear.

   "Actually, it's not that difficult, right?"

  Lorenzo did not speak, his eyes looked straight at the nothingness in front of him, his expression was frightened and stiff, he calmed down, and then he was relieved.

  He has a lot to say, but when he comes to his lips, he feels that there is no point in saying so much. Now he doesn’t need any words, he just needs to act.

   reached out and hugged Seleu carefully, gently, and in the same way.

  Lorenzo has walked out of the shadows for a long time with the help of friends, but this is the first time he has walked on a new path since he walked out of the shadows.

   "I... I actually want to say something touching, but I want to say something sneer than those words. Are you interested in listening?"

  Yes, there are enough touching things. He doesn't want the next plot to become that he and Seleu crying each other, feeling life, this is too weird.

"Um."

  Lorenzo slowly showed a smile on his face, and his voice trembled slightly.

  Oscar said that Lorenzo is actually not suitable for comedy performance, because at the critical moment, he will be amused by the jokes he is going to tell, and the audience below will be inexplicably strange.

   "I am beginning to understand Oscar."

  "What do you understand?"

   "It feels good to be next to a rich woman."

  Sure enough, Seleu smiled hard, and Lorenzo screamed again and again.

   "Neck! The neck is about to break!"

  　 You will never imagine how many light novels and love comics I have read in order to write this.
