As the flame-ridden butterfly turned into a flame butterfly and flew back to Aiwass's shoulder, the glow in Diomedes' pupils gradually dissipated.
The extremely dark room became bright again, and the afternoon sunlight penetrated through the glass window into the queen's bedroom again.
"Brother... no, brother."
The Flame-Contrary Butterfly deliberately adopted a different name from Yulia. That lazy and gentle voice, like a soft whisper in the ear before going to bed, sounded in Aiwass's heart: "I remembered that you gave Night Demon a name.
A name..."
"That was originally her own name..."
Aiwass was a little helpless.
"I also had a name."
The Flame-Contrary Butterfly had a firm attitude: "My name is Julia Moriarty."
Hearing this, Aiwass understood what she was thinking.
Little Butterfly thought that Aiwass's feelings for her came from his empathy for Yulia...or in other words, she already knew that this was not the case, but still wanted a proof.
Of course Aiwass could patiently explain his views on her to her, but I'm afraid she wouldn't be happy that way.
"I'll give you a gift..."
Aiwass made up his mind: "Consider it a blessing at the moment of rebirth."
He could feel that Little Butterfly was extremely satisfied with killing Drost. She even ignored her own image and forgot to give Aiwass two punches...it was not until she completely destroyed Drost that she finally
Calm down.
For her, this was a moment of new life worth celebrating and remembering.
...After all, it does make sense that I didn't give Little Butterfly a formal name. Before, Little Butterfly didn't have a complete personality, and it was even difficult to speak. But now her thinking and intelligence are no different from ordinary people, so she must
Respect was given.
but……
"I must state in advance that I am really not good at naming names..."
Aiwass pondered for a moment and suddenly said: "You still remember what I like to call Yulia, right?"
"Yuli," the Butterfly of Flames replied immediately, "I remember this nickname. I could also hear it at that time."
"Then...can I call you Leah?"
Aiwass explained: "Like Yuli, as the other half of the existence of 'Yulia'... you are not her shadow, nor her remnant. Since I once had feelings for Yulia, you two
Everyone can clearly feel it; you can hear and feel every word I say and everything I do, which means that the Yulia I know is also a part of you.
"
According to Aiwass's perception, the hostility of the Paraflame Butterfly towards Yulia probably comes from this.
There is a high probability that she is not a reincarnated phantom, but a "new species", or the "first generation" phantom.
In other words, the starting point of her life was when she awakened from Yulia's body. Since Yulia had no relatives, the first close person she came into contact with was Aiwass.
If Aiwass is Yulia's brother... then for Flame Butterfly, who has no parents, Aiwass is closer to her parents.
But Aiwass didn't know that her consciousness was awake and she could sense the outside world. Every time the Flame Butterfly lost control of her emotions, causing the power of phantoms in Yulia's body to rise and cause a fever. Aiwass stayed with Yulia.
At that time, she thought that she was a "villain", a "germ" and a "curse".
It is precisely because of her existence that Yulia will suffer. And Aiwass pays attention to Yulia's pain, which means judging her crimes.
If she tries to seize Yulia's identity, or seize control of her body and pretend to be Yulia to get along with Aiwass, perhaps the most sinful mark she can get will be "jealousy".
But she didn't.
When she realized that Aiwass' love was for Yulia, she sadly chose to seal herself.
Compared with the "medicine to put the Phantom Demon to sleep" obtained by her adoptive father, the passive will of the Paraflame Butterfly is probably the most important reason why Yulia can survive until now.
After all, she is a born high-level phantom. Even if the medicine can suppress the eggs of the phantom, it may not be able to suppress the high-level phantom with a strong desire to escape.
"It's precisely because you don't want me to be sad because of Yulia's death, and you don't want you and me to change from relatives to enemies...that's why you choose to maintain the status quo."
There was obviously something he could do, but he chose to wait and see.
Maybe I could take some risks to make things better, but in the end I chose to do nothing.
Indulging in the gentle land, he forgot or even abandoned his natural mission - to take away the host's vitality, fully develop and burst out of the belly.
Therefore, she will bear the sin of laziness.
——It wasn’t until she realized that her delay made everything irreversible. Yulia died, she lost control and almost killed Aiwass. She didn’t realize how powerful she was until she received the memory of the Flame-Contrary Butterfly on another world line.
happiness.
Her emotions were out of control because of this.
That's why.
"I named you Leah. You are also a part of the Yulia I know. You are another existence equal to Yuli. You are also a relative who loves me and is loved by me..."
When Aiwass said this, he suddenly paused and felt touched in his heart.
He was silent for a while and replied: "Sorry, I won't let you use self-destruction again in the future."
Only when he realized the Butterfly of the Flame—or Leah's strong feelings for him, did he finally realize what he had done before.
Perhaps it was because when she sealed the Flame-Contrary Butterfly, she used the image of Yulia to call her brother and asked Aiwass to spare her... This made Aiwass feel strongly against being deceived. Because of the
For Aiwass, who didn't know all this at the time, she was the culprit who caused Yulia's pain, but she was using Yulia's image to prevent herself from saving Yulia.
From then on, although Aiwass did not continue to be hostile to her, he still regarded her as a tool or weapon.
...It may also be because Shadow Demon always chats with him, and the under-developed Paraflame Butterfly is not good at words. Compared to Paraflame Butterfly, which has been sealed as a big beast, Aiwass believes in Shadow Demon more.
.
Now that the Paraflame Butterfly has lost control, Aiwass has truly understood her feelings and realized his mistakes.
The Paraflame Butterfly does have the ability to self-destruct, and she does not feel any pain from it.
But "self-destruction" is the core expression of the way of dedication - dedicating all of oneself to others. As a BOSS, the Flame Butterfly has this skill, which illustrates her inner pain and desire for self-destruction.
...What have I done?
Thinking of this, Aiwass was still a little depressed.
But at this moment, the flame butterfly flew in front of Aiwass.
It flew gently around Aiwass's face, and its warm butterfly wings flapped on Aiwass's face. It seemed to be caressing and touching his cheeks with hands.
"I like the name Leah very much."
That lazy and gentle voice sounded in Aiwass's heart, and the words were filled with joy and a faint echo: "But it is too similar to Yuli... In order to distinguish it from her, I asked to change the counterpart."
Brother...or the title of master. Is that okay?"
"Of course. You can call me whatever you want. You can also just call me Aiwass. You can also call me brother, call me brother, whatever."
Aiwass was slightly relieved and chuckled: "You can also follow the example of Sherlock and call me fox, or other similar names, which I agree with. Or... if you feel that our relationship is not that close yet,
You can also call me Moriarty."
Anyway, as long as it's not the last one, it's acceptable.
Aiwass thought so.
If the Flame Parade really called him "Mr. Moriarty", he would probably be a little hurt.
However, Leah's words were completely beyond Aiwass' expectations——
"I want to call you mom, because you are as gentle as a mother... growing up with me."
"...Dad, is that okay?"
Aiwass's expression was a little strange: "Of course...Mom can do it too."
"Okay."
Leah's bone-chilling and lazy voice was like whispering in her ear: "So, dad..."
