The forest in late autumn is silent,

The little deer lost in the forest, the rosy deer chirping, crying like the Seine River... It seems like I hear someone crying?

Haibara Ai raised his hand and tapped his index finger on his face, a wet touch came.

Putting down her hand, she lowered her head and watched a drop of crystal tears slide down her fingertips in the moonlight.

It turns out... it's me who is crying!

Haibara Ai subconsciously looked back at the room. Dr. Agasa on the other bed kept snoring, and Nezuko on his bed was also asleep quietly.

Very good, so no one noticed me, I was crying...

Haibara Ai raised his hand and kept wiping the tears at the corners of his eyes, but for some reason, he couldn't wipe them clean.

Why did you suddenly cry?

She doesn't know!

Maybe it's sad, my loneliness and helplessness?

Crying does not solve the problem, but crying can vent your emotions well.

Over the past period of time, the panic, confusion and loneliness that had been pressed in her heart were vented with tears like opening the gate and letting water open.

Tears and crying are the most effective ways for humans to mediate their own emotions.

It can make your own reason not be overwhelmed by the negative emotions that are constantly accumulated in your heart.

Tears stopped, and the emotions accumulated in my heart were vented. Haibara Ai felt much more relaxed.

He raised his hand to wipe the last teardrop of his eyes, Ai Haibara opened his eyes, his ice-blue eyes as pure and flawless as if they had washed away the dust.

Haibara Ai turned his head and looked into the room. He was lying beside his pillow. A fairy tale was lying...

That was the fairy tale book she told to the innocent and ignorant Nezuko before going to bed.

If I could be as blank as Nezuko, forget the darkness of my past, be a simple and happy child, ignorantly envy the beauty of the fairy tale...

How great that would be!

However, in the past of the organization, and the elite code name Shirley,

It was engraved into this body forever, even if she had already had the pseudonym Ai Haibara at this time.

She was afraid that one day, the cruel silver-haired demon would suddenly appear behind her and shout out the code name to her that had turned into a nightmare.

A beautiful...a fairy tale?

Ai Haibara put his eyes on the fairy tale book. In the hazy moonlight, the princess on the cover seemed to have come alive at this moment, dancing happily and happily with her prince in the moonlight.

Yes, in the hearts of the children, no matter how unfortunate the princess is, she will have a prince who will spare no effort to save her and strive for a happy ending together.

But fairy tales are just lies to deceive children.

Ai Haibara, an adult, knew very well how dark and cruel the various beautiful stories in the fairy tale books were actually.

Just like the real reality, the dark pain that many adults cannot bear.

The world is like the fairy tale book. Children read beautiful fantasies, while adults read cruel reality.

Even though I know that fairy tales are just lies made up for children, who doesn’t yearn for them?

"I will have the prince who saved me from my wandering and loneliness, too?" Haibara Ai was a little lost and fell into fantasy.

Who will save my loneliness?

The fragile fantasy is like a bubble, and it is broken by a light poked by reason.

Haibara's eyes narrowed, and a pitiful figure fell from fantasy to reality was reflected on the window glass beside her.

Haibara Ai stretched out his hand, touched the cold mirror, and gently stroked the familiar face in the mirror.

This face has become a taboo...

I don’t know when, people in the organization who are familiar with her past will discover her secret from this face!

Haibara Ai withdrew his hand, lowered his head and buried it between his knees, and murmured to himself:

"I'm really stupid. Are you right, sister..."

...

In the darkness beside the wall where the moonlight could not be shined, a dark figure stood in it.

Lingyi stood here for a while. She looked at the girl named Ai Haibara, opened the window and sat dangerously by the window.

Looking at her, crying silently...

Lingyi could feel that the girl's heart was as sad as her name...

Lingyi was in the darkness and subconsciously raised her hand and touched her eyes, where there was nothing there.

No eyes, no eyes, and no tears!

But looking at Ai Haibara by the window, Rei seemed to understand. What she didn't understand before was the sadness that belonged to humans.

At this moment, she seemed to feel the loneliness in Haibara's heart and the helplessness that longs for redemption.

The girl sat alone by the window, and the hazy moonlight was like a gauze draped on the girl, as beautiful as the princess in the fairy tale.

However, the princess in the fairy tale should not be so sad, it should be happy.

Ah, by the way, she is missing her own prince!

Lingyi lowered her head, and the black long skirt on her body instantly changed into a black men's dress, and then her slender hands, like black gems, were raised in the void.

A gorgeous half-body mask appeared in her hands.

Lingyi stretched out her legs and walked out of the darkness, holding the gorgeous masked hand and covering her face.

In the yard shining with moonlight, a black figure wearing a black dress and a black mask and floating long hair walked towards Ai Haibara who was sitting by the window.

The prince who walked out of the darkness came to save the princess who was trapped in loneliness!

The dark prince raised his long hair, looked up at the princess by the window, raised his legs, and stepped on the void.

A deep obsidian gem staircase instantly appeared at his feet.

Every time the gorgeous figure took a step towards the void, a ladder would appear under his feet, holding him to the princess by the window step by step.

Hearing the footsteps, Haibara Ai raised his head from his knees in confusion.

Then she saw a 'prince' wearing a gorgeous mask and a dress standing by her window on the gem stairs.

Is this... the prince to save himself?

Haibara Ai looked up blankly and looked at the dark prince in front of him who seemed to have walked out of the fairy tale.

The night wind blew, and Lingyi's long black hair fluttered gently, then she stretched out her hand to Ai Haibara, and a gentle voice rang under the night sky.

"This beautiful princess, can I ask you to dance?"

Listening to the gentle voice that seemed to be tolerant of everything, Haibara Ai felt no fear in his heart.

As if her body was driven by something, Haibara Ai stretched out his white little hand and placed it in the other party's big black hand.

The princess accepted the invitation from the Dark Prince!

Lingyi smiled at the corner of her mouth under the mask half body, held the princess's little hand, and then gently pulled it into her arms.

"ah!"

Haibara Ai let out a soft cry, then felt like he fell into a soft embrace.

Lingyi held Ai Haibara and stood on the gem stairs, suddenly jumped back, causing the timid princess in her arms to let out another cute exclamation.

The masked prince hugged the little princess and landed lightly in the yard. The hazy moonlight cast himself over at the right time.

Like a spotlight, he stared at the prince and princess on the stage.

Rei gently put down Haibara Ai, who looked up at the "familiar" prince in front of her.

At first glance, she recognized the black ghost who had seen twice. After not seeing her for a few days, the other party's appearance became better, and her body was like a treasure like a black gem.

"Kaku..."

A burst of cracks came from behind him, and Ai Haibara subconsciously turned around and looked at the black gem staircase that reached her window from the ground in the yard.

The twig staircase covered with cracks suddenly collapsed in her eyes, turning into a black torrent and pouring towards her.

Ai Haibara subconsciously raised his hand to block his body, but the black torrent that rushed towards him did not hurt him, but instead surrounded him gently.

Haibara Ai looked at him in surprise. The black mist surrounding him gently covered his body, like magic, turning into a black princess dress.

Then, a pair of clear black crystal shoes appeared next to her bare feet.

Haibara Ai blinked, stretched out his little feet and walked into the black crystal shoes.

The next second, Haibara Ai felt a slump in his head, so he curiously raised his hand and touched it. Soon, she could tell from the special shape.

It was a small crown worn on his head.

It should be black too!
