74. Meluem's Extra Story
Meluem stood in front of a quiet lake and looked quietly at the very regular wooden houses built not far away. This was the result of his tenth year of coming to the Dark Continent. Their construction was not difficult or complicated. The reason why he wanted to do this was because they were very similar to the small wooden houses in the Chunna Ranch. He just wanted to find some traces of his past life with Chunna.
When he first opened his eyes in this world, the only thing he saw was Haruna. At that time, he could feel a natural sense of closeness and familiarity from her, but he had no way of knowing where these feelings came from. It was not until the ninth year that he recovered his past memories that he clearly realized what the sense of closeness and familiarity was that Haruna had always carried a sense of his aura. After all, for Haruna, she had only separated from him for a few days. Until now, he didn't want to recall the scene when Haruna parted with him in the previous timeline because she was crying.
In Meluem's cognition, Haruna is a person who seems cold but has a lot of inner activities. Regarding her sufficient inner scenes, Meluem can see from her complex and changeable eyes. Haruna may not have realized that whenever she encounters some strange and special situations, there will always be many emotions in her clear eyes. Of course, this was slowly explored after he left Haruna for a long time. Memory is really a very terrible thing. He clearly realized that he did not deliberately remember any picture at the beginning, but everything about Haruna is so clear, and all her small actions were actually staying in the dark continent and he figured it out day after day.
She seems to love money very much, but in fact she doesn't care about this kind of thing at all. To make money, to the greater extent, she just found a goal in life for her, just a goal. Otherwise, she would probably not know what she was going to do.
It is precisely because of her that she is actually quite cold inside. She has such a sense of contradiction. She has a rich inner drama, but she has no unnecessary feelings. All thoughts are just from her instinctive cognition. Her race deprived her of too much emotional fluctuations. Meluem couldn't understand how Haruna fell in love with him at the beginning. When he died on the first time line, Haruna's hot tears fell on his face, he vaguely realized that perhaps there was no such thing as he imagined, because when Haruna looked at him, his eyes were only 0.1% tenderness in his eyes than others. But according to the various performances of the protagonists in the books and love movies that Naozu gave him, his true love was not like this. Perhaps the extra 0.1% tenderness was all calculated by him.
But Chunna always showed that, which made Meluim completely unaware of the coldness in her heart. Until death came, the tears that exceeded Meluim's expectations finally made him understand what her true feelings were. The dark red eyes that did not belong to humans were filled with sorrow that made his chest appear fine and painful. At that moment, he suddenly realized that all the previous expectations might be just his one-man show. But he did not have any anger, but with a little unwillingness and relief. He had always been so unconditional tolerant to Harunna, not to mention that he could not attribute the mistake to her.
Unwillingly, he always felt that as long as he gave him some more time, he would definitely let Haruna look at him with the full feeling he is now. It was relieved that this was also good. He had read a book given to him by Ninzu, and there seemed to be such similar scenes on it, but the male protagonist in the book was a little satisfied at the time because he felt that at this moment, he had the sincerity of the heroine, but Meluim thought about it carefully for a moment and found that he did not feel like this - the starting point of everything was just to hope Haruna would live a good life.
Before death came, the baby who had been acting intuition suddenly realized some special experiences about love without a teacher, but unfortunately he had no place to use it - he had no chance.
He thought about the hostile relationship between humans and Chimera ants, but he was not confused at all. But he finally understood what the saying that the saying, "If you are not my race, your heart will be different." The major matters related to race will never exist. If you have to distinguish between good and bad, you will never think carefully about the meaning of that sentence, so that it will develop into such a situation.
When Meluem recovered this memory again, he had been living in the Dark Continent for nine years. During this period, he had been working hard to explore the map of the Dark Continent. He always remembered the magical guy he met when he was born. As long as he reached the end of the Dark Continent, he would meet her. But it took him nine years to see the so-called end. When he recovered his memory, he realized the meaning of Haruna's words - the earth is round, and he probably wouldn't find the so-called end for the rest of his life. All this was just her lie. At that time, Meluem realized that he might never see Haruna again.
Then he completely calmed down and happily focused on developing the Chimera Ant race. In his previous life, he fell in the human world. Now that he has returned to his own territory, can he fall again? The answer is of course impossible. Then he became Meluim who fought invincible throughout the Dark Continent. His three guards always marveled at why he knew so many things, such as building such things, or constantly opening up a paradise for his own race in a difficult and cruel environment, but this is indeed not a difficult task for Meluim who has human knowledge and civilization in his mind.
So Meluim's status grew higher and higher in Chimerai - their rulers had unmatched wisdom and skills, but... he became silent more and more. He often found a quiet place to ponder. As for what he was thinking, even the think tank that claimed to be able to see through everything could not be seen through. All this seemed to start from the ninth year of his birth. For this reason, Xiao Yapf also cried with the king on his back. He felt that the king had grown up completely, and at the same time, he felt that his presence was about to become lower.
"Wang, you are always facing the south. Is there anything there that makes you particularly care about?" Nephebitt always asks some questions that others dare to hold in their hearts without any scruples.
Xiao Yapfu, who was standing beside him, raised his ears when he heard this. He thought the king would not answer their questions, but who knew that he just shook his head calmly and said lightly: "I'm just thinking about some things in the past. Even if I decide not to go out again, sometimes I still want to try it out for a first-line opportunity."
"Go out?" Nephebet's cat eyes widened slightly, and she obviously couldn't understand what the so-called going out was.
"Forget this, forget this sentence." Meluim waved his hand casually. Now he is no longer alone. He is the king of the Chimera Ant race, and secondly, Meluim, who often misses people in another world. His personal emotions have been gradually pressed into his heart with some heavy things.
Then when can we abandon everything without any scruples and act according to our own will? Meluim was also thinking about this question. Then, in ten years, everything for the Chimera Ant will stabilize. At that time, he can try to seize the slim opportunity.
But this idea was forced to end in the eighth year of his recovery of memory, because Haruna came. She suddenly appeared in the dark continent and appeared opposite him. In this way, Meluim embarked on another magical road.
"King—! My King—! Are you married into a marriage?! I recently saw that the book you brought back has such words! It is exactly the same as your current state!" Xiao Yapf fell into a collapse again because their Chimera Ant King is no longer visible all day long.
He flipped through the book in his hand, his face covered with tears and snot. After Meluim's strong training, the three-month vocabulary recognition course has been fully completed. Now all the elites of Chimera Ants have learned to recognize words, and Xiao Yapf is even teaching himself English. Although someone suddenly appeared at the gathering place of Chimera Ants, it has developed faster here, and it has also improved everyone's food problems. It has also cultivated their exclusive chefs, which has made everyone more efficient (I'm in a hurry to get back to have a meal after finishing the work), but! The king ran to her in every three days! Although he didn't leave anything here, he inexplicably felt like the king was going to get married! Isn't it normal that the other party married?!
The most terrifying thing is that Xiao Yapf's cry was actually a cry of true feelings in front of Meluim. Everyone thought the king would hammer him into the soil, but unexpectedly, something unexpected happened. Their king said with a deep face: "I just want to lay a solid foundation there."
Xiao Yapf forgot to cry for a moment, and he asked mistly: "Basics? What foundation?! Are we going to open up the territory of a new world?!"
Meluim shook his head, "A existence appeared over there that made me feel a little tricky. I need to solve this problem in the shortest time." The atmosphere between a magical skeleton and Haruna made him feel a little bad. In recent days, Meluim has been thinking about how to kill this old bone and successfully take over. "As for the territory of the new world, there is no." Meluim replied coldly.
Xiaoyapuf: "..."
However, Meluim's speed of solving the difficult existence is not fast. It took him four years to barely tie the opponent, not to mention that Haruna often goes to Lao Gu in his spare time. Fortunately, Meluim's temper has not developed into a cruel direction in the past twenty years, but has become very Buddhist unexpectedly. Only when a major event occurs can people feel that he is still the cruel ant king in his bones. If he had followed the past, he
Maybe he wanted to taste the taste of Laogu gnawing, but now... after realizing that Haruna and the other party had no feelings other than friendship and family, Meluem became a guy who let everything go. Of course, he was not as good as that at the beginning, and even thought about whether to use the Chimera ants' natural long lifespan to drag the other party to death to successfully get to power. But after knowing that Laogu is an undead or a truly undead tribe, he completely gave up.
Just fight, Haruna will probably hammer both of them into the soil. Let's waste it. He must be the one who was buried first, so Meluim completely took it open. What else can he do? The bridgehead will naturally be straight.
In this way, Meluem started a very peaceful life. Every day, he first went to Chunna’s dessert shop to report. After four years, he had developed into the second chef of the Haluna dessert shop and restaurant. He would help Chunna cook together at mealtime, and would also take over her position as a real chef when Chunna went to Hunter World to develop her side job, dealing with a constant stream of customers.
"I was obviously a baby who knew nothing before," said the hut to send off the last group of guests and looked at Meluem with sigh. "Have you become so versatile now? Looking at how he and Haruna get along, I am so old that I have some new expectations for love."
"...You, a bachelor who is over 1,500 years old, don't talk to each other in a sleep, wake up." Qiyuan complained without any mercy.
But Masayoshifu, who was cleaning the table, suddenly said, "But, they are not couples yet, aren't they?" As he said, he scratched his head in confusion, "But she should like Meluim."
"Hmph," Qihara sneered, "She just thinks Meluem is still a baby. God knows Meluem has been a teenager for a long time. If you think about it seriously, he is still one or two years older than Haruna."
The hut and Masaojun looked at each other, and in their hearts Meluim was still the same baby as four years ago.
Meluim didn't know much about Chunnai. Over the years, he had long been accustomed to the tacit relationship between the two. Without saying anything, he could easily know what the other party wanted to do next. Often, Chunnai wanted a cabbage when cooking, and Meluim had already handed her the cut to her. This seemed to be no big difference from being together.
For Haruna, this state is indeed no different from the relationship between her lover. After all, she is a face-paralytic guy. Even if she recovers human feelings, she still maintains this state. In her cognition, she does not need a too sticky relationship. It is best for everyone to live their own life independently. She thinks this natural relationship is very good, but... as long as you think about it, you feel very embarrassed to think about it! Is it a little girlish in your heart wrong at such an age? No!
...So it's better to maintain this state simply. The residual idea is that it lacks some of the erotic elements of the girl's heart.
The opportunity to break Haruna's idea came very quickly. When she pushed open the door of the branch one day, she saw Meluim standing quietly opposite the dessert shop with a black long-handled umbrella. He maintained the image of a human being, with a head of green soft middle-haired hair obediently falling on his shoulders. His handsome face had no expression, with these almost cold breaths, his eyelids drooping slightly, and he was looking at a cluster of grass under the street lights in a daze. When she just walked under the eaves of the store, Meluim turned his head at the right time. The dark red eyes caught her figure at the first time. He did not move immediately, but stared at Haruna silently. His eyes were full of her shadow. A few seconds later, he took a step and walked towards Haruna slowly.
There was no deliberate atmosphere, but on the bustling street, Chunna could only see Meluem. Meluem walking towards her with an umbrella made her unable to see anyone.
"...Aren't you unwilling to leave the dessert shop?" Haruna asked such a question when his mind was blank. This was the first time Meluim took the initiative to come out of the dessert shop in the past four years. Since he came back to this world, although he did not say anything, he actually never wanted to pay attention to the human world. It was not about holding revenge or hating humans, but about completely understanding that this racial conflict could not be handled properly by himself, so he simply became a bystander and calmly observed everything in the human world.
Meluim completely enveloped Haruna's head and said, "I saw that you didn't bring your umbrella."
Haruna turned her face away and pulled the corner of her clothes with some discomfort, and came to pick her up... It was so uncontrollable that she was so happy.
The two walked into the rain together. At this time, Haruna was still immersed in an unspeakable emotion. Almost for a moment, some words were about to flow out of her mouth uncontrollably, but this impulse was pressed down tightly in her reason. But if she had to ask what she was going to say... Haruna herself was a little confused for a moment.
Along the way, people kept looking at her and Meluium. They might have looked envious, and a few of them would pursed their lips and smile kindly after looking at them. At first, Haruna didn't realize anything. It was not until halfway through that she realized that she looked up at the umbrella covering her head. Why did the umbrella... all block her head? She subconsciously looked at Meluium. Sure enough, half of his shoulders were about to be wet.
...In fact, it seems that this joke is quite cliché wherever it is, but for some reason, looking at his expression that is supposed to be like this and doesn't care or even know what she has done, Haruna couldn't help but sigh in her heart. As an older girl with a girl's heart, she cares a lot about such trivial matters.
Haruna had a sense of courage from somewhere. She raised her hand to cover the back of Meluim's hand holding the handle of the umbrella. The moment she touched the back of his warm hand, Haruna's heart jumped uncontrollably. While complaining about her inexplicableness in her heart, she firmly pushed the umbrella towards him, "...your shoulders are wet."
Meluim looked at Chuna in surprise, and many complex emotions flashed in her dark red eyes, because Chuna covered his hand with the back of his hand and had no intention of removing it after doing all this. She just pressed her blushing face and stiffened her body, stubbornly covering Meluim's hand, completely unwilling to let go.
Suddenly, Meluim stopped. Haruna asked with a stuttering stutter, "What, what's wrong?"
Meluim looked at her helplessly. If it weren't him who stood here now but any ordinary person, even Anzi would probably have only one ending now - the hand bones would be crushed by Haruna.
"Don't hold an umbrella." Meluim suddenly said. He came to pick up Chunna just to see her. Both of them were alien species, and they had nothing to do when they were wet. Why waste time on such things? He had something he wanted to do more at this time.
Haruna was stunned for a moment, then let go of her hand silently.
Meluim simply put away his umbrella. The weather was beautiful. The rain has turned into drizzle now, and there will be no problem when he hits it. When Haruna was still in a daze, Meluim had already held her hand. He looked down at Haruna and said seriously: "I think this action is more suitable at this time."
Haruna's eyes instantly floated, and the two of them walked in the crowd holding hands. After a while, Haruna asked in a dazed tone: "...Am I a devil?" He actually attacked Meluim! He just started this way!
Meluem whispered: "Of course you are not. You are just Haruna."
Obviously, he didn't know the meaning of this joke, but his answer undoubtedly pointed to Haruna's favorite point. Hey, suddenly I felt that it seemed like a very wise thing to attack Meluem.
After returning to the dessert shop, Meluem received a contact request from Niphie Bitter, so he had to rush back to the Dark Continent first, but this time Chunna took the initiative to go back with him.
Nephebitt, who greeted Meluem at the door, didn't feel surprised to see Haruna following Meluem. She had long been a regular visitor here, and was also a distinguished guest at the same time. Therefore, Nephebitt just smiled and bowed to Haruna very naturally: "Sir Haruna."
Before Haruna nodded, Meluim had already frowned, "Wrong." He said blindly.
Nephebit and Haruna were both stunned. No one understood the meaning of his words. Meluim said word by word in the cold young voice: "It's the Queen," after saying that, he seemed a little worried, and repeated to Nephebit again: "My Queen."
The so-called ultimate kill is probably the case. Haruna thought in a daze.
Chapter completed!
