Night falls in the tent.

dark.

Kalma sat in the darkness and meditated.

She needs meditation.

Because she was uneasy.

After these days of killing, bloodshed, conspiracy, betrayal, failure, and despair, even if you are as strong as Kalma, you will inevitably have a crack in your heart.

The calm pool of water in her heart was broken by stones.

Especially, that most critical stone...

That person...

He actually...

Kalma used to think that she would not make any mistakes when looking at people with her eyes, but this time, she was wrong.

She didn't know why, or she wasn't sure, what...

At this moment, a terrifying aura suddenly enveloped the entire dark tent.

That powerful pressure made Kalma unable to breathe for a moment.

But she just frowned, and then said calmly as if she knew who was coming: "You are here."

No one spoke in the darkness, but the terrible aura did not dissipate in the entire space like an evil ghost for a long time, making people know that the person is still there.

Didn't leave.

"I know you hate me, hate me lying to you, right?" Kalma took a deep breath, trying not to tremble, "But I'm curious, when did you recover your memory?"

Still no one answered, the darkness was still dull enough to kill people.

"I don't want to explain that I lied to you. If you want to kill me, just do it." Kalma was not discouraged from getting an answer, and she continued, "But, Ally. She is a good kid, she..."

"Uh--" In an instant, a huge force suddenly clenched Kalma's neck, making her unable to speak, and even more so, unable to breathe.

But Kalma, she tried her best to say with all her last strength: "She...love...you."

"Hu..." The last word fell, and the force suddenly pulled away.

"Hu...hu..." Kalma kept gasping but did not stop talking, "Really, she... likes you so much that she can lie to you at all costs. But she really has no malice. She just hopes... you can... also... happy..."

Speaking of this, Kalma did not continue, because she felt that the terrible aura had left the dark tent.

He left.

Not back.

A long time later, Kalma sighed softly.

She knew that her friendship with that person, the warm feelings formed under the dim light, were gone.

All used to exchange for her life.

——————————

The dark night is lonely.

Not far from the Ionian coalition tent, there is a cliff near the sea.

At night, the sea water beats the rocks that have been weathered over the years, and there is a kind of beautiful and lonely feeling that is hard to tell.

Arrelia sat on the cliffs, feeling the rhythm of the rolling sea water beating the rocks under her feet, and was stunned.

The sea breeze blew up the long hair on her temples, and she suddenly felt a little cold.

There is also loneliness.

She suddenly missed the killings that had been in the past few days. Although there were constant deaths and crises everywhere, she at least had something to do. She could swing her sword and she could temporarily become another person.

She doesn't have to think about anything else.

And she could see him.

Why didn't I die on the battlefield?

She suddenly thought so in her heart.

Maybe in that case, he can still remember me for a longer time.

Maybe, maybe, after many years, he will have a small place in his heart...

Maybe……

"Carla--" The sudden sound interrupted Arialia's contemplation.

The smell in the air suddenly changed.

The sea breeze suddenly stopped.

There is only quiet darkness.

Her heart suddenly jumped into her throat. She tried to suppress her excitement and whispered: "Is it... it's you?"

She didn't dare to look back, for fear that when she turned around, there would be nothing left.

Even the illusion is gone.

"Yeah." Fortunately, in the darkness, a voice came from behind her, a voice she was extremely familiar with and thoughtful.

"You...why are you here?" Arella was only excited for a moment, but suddenly calmed down because she remembered the speculations that made her uneasy...or facts?

The person behind him didn't speak, or did he agree?

"You..." Arella bit her lip lightly, not knowing how to continue.

"I'm leaving." The person behind suddenly said, saying so abruptly.

The sudden Arrelia didn't have any time to reflect.

"Go...where?" She spoke in a daze after a long time.

But she had an answer in her mind. Where to go, of course she went to find the girl in his life. In short, it was...

Never come back again.

Never... will not come back.

Thinking of this, Arrilia suddenly wanted to cry.

She has been a strong child since she was eight years old because her father told her before her death that girls should not cry, otherwise they would not be beautiful.

But she just wants to cry now.

Want to do it very much.

So what if you are not beautiful, so what if you are beautiful, no matter what, he is leaving.

He...don't want himself anymore.

"Go to where I should go." The man behind him seemed to hear her extremely depressed and profound sadness, and his tone became gentle, like a gift before parting.

silence.

Endless silence.

The sea breeze roared again, as if crying for someone.

Is the sea crying too?

"Are you... still here?" After a long time, Arrelia finally couldn't help asking again.

"…Well." Fortunately for her, the person has not left yet.

"You..." Arrelia paused, "You...you..."

"If it's okay, I'm leaving." The person behind seemed a little impatient, and he said so.

"No...wait." Arrelia interrupted him in a hurry, "I...I..."

“…”

"I..." Arella was still hesitating, she still couldn't say that sentence...

"Hu——" The sea breeze became even stronger, as if it would blow away that person at any time.

"Arelia..." he said, maybe he wanted to say, I'm really leaving.

I really...

"Don't leave!!!" Arrilia stood up suddenly, she shook her head with great force and said, "Don't leave, don't leave, I..."

The sea breeze became louder and louder, almost drowning her voice.

"I... Chen Senran!!!" Her voice suddenly became louder. She turned around in the boundless sea breeze, looking at the closed-eyed man behind her, and said loudly without any hesitation, "Chen Senran, listen to me, I, Arrelia, I... I like you very much!!! I like you very much!!! No matter what I do, it is because I like you, I... like you, can you... also..."

Finally, her voice fell down again and she lowered her head.

In the last few words, she seemed to be whispering in the wind:

"Can you like me?"

Can you like me too?

That night she was not the Valkyrie Arrilia on the battlefield.

She is, good girl, Arrilia. (To be continued...)
