Running all the way, Boom felt as if his intestines were about to come out, but Rikka beside him seemed to be fine. Even in the end, he even took out snacks from the dimensional space.
Seeing this, Boom wiped the sweat from his face and immediately increased his speed again. However, Rikka suddenly reached out to hold him and handed him a few pills.
"What are you doing?" Boom gasped and asked in a distorted voice.
"It's time to take medicine. Although my brother has recovered now, he still needs to consolidate for a few more days." I saw Rikka holding a clay pot like a magic trick, which contained milk that was still warm.
After a while, the two slowed down under Rikka's strong suggestion. They were already two kilometers away from Ogu City, and except for the chirping of spring cicadas, there were no other living things around.
Walking on the familiar Miracle Plain, Rikka stepped back and looked at Boom, the smile on his face never dimmed. Boom used the black wood staff to release the fireball spell to act as a night light.
"Brother, where should we go next? Return to Ogu City?" Rikka asked with a smile, shaking her mother-in-law mask.
Boom was stunned when he heard this. He had been thinking about this issue since he escaped from the garbage dump. But he has always been very assertive, and now he is also very confused.
"You can't go back. Now I am a fugitive who has offended the nobles, and you went even further and destroyed the prison directly." Boom grinned, his words full of helplessness.
"How about we leave here? The world is so big, why don't we go and have a look?" Rikka asked nonchalantly while eating snacks.
"Well...it seems like a good idea now." Boom turned to look at the east gate of Aogu City, which was still filled with smoke, and replied softly.
But Rikka, who was originally joking, stopped and looked at him in disbelief. In her heart, although Boom was an orphan, she could feel his attachment to the royal city.
She had mentioned this issue before, but the other party would rather stay in the slums every day and had no intention of leaving.
That's why Rikka was so surprised, and even suspected that she had taken too many pills, otherwise why would she be talking such nonsense?
Thinking of this, Rikka took out a pill, then threw it into his mouth and chewed it. But except for a little bitterness, nothing could turn a person into an idiot.
"I'm serious, I'm not stupid." Boom saw Rikka's expression, coupled with those boring actions, it was impossible to guess what the other party was thinking.
Two hours later, the two finally entered the dense forest. The Wonder House was not placed, and Boom and Rikka drilled into the cave behind the small waterfall.
Boom leaned against the rock wall, while Rikka took out a large bear skin, and then used the opponent's thigh as a pillow. There was a sound of water, and Rikka kept looking at Boom.
"Brother, will you miss Ogu City? After all, this is my hometown." Rikka asked softly.
"Maybe. After all, I have never left here, and I never thought that one day I would really leave." Boom put his hand on Rikka's face and patted it gently.
The moonlight illuminated the cave through the waterfall, and the water turned into countless snake shadows twisting and shaking. Rikka, whose nerves had been tense for more than half a month, fell into a deep sleep, while Boom was very awake at this time.
The past is playing in my mind like rewinding, and those fragments that I once didn't care about have now become the things I care about most.
The coldness of the black rainy night seems to have never appeared, and it seems to still exist yesterday. The scar on the back of the head is still palpable, but it is covered up by the hair.
The old man and the dome disappeared, but the parchment had long been turned into a headband and was currently tied to the other person's body. The warmth came from the legs, so real and so gentle.
The black market lantern was no longer lit, but Boom saw its figure from the dimensional space. There was even half a candle inside it.
The earthen houses in the small mountain village have long since disappeared, and the reeds are now trying to break through the ground. I believe that soon they will once again cover the Miracle Plain.
The stench of the garbage dump came from afar, mixed with a bit of anxiety and endless sadness. As for the little boy who ran into the distance in the end, he might have died under the spear of the imperial cavalry, but he might also be looking at the same place as himself.
Starlight.
Boom sighed, but when he lowered his head, he found Rikka with his eyes open. Then the other person sat up like a sloth and held his arms tightly.
"Brother, you promised me that no matter where you go, you will never leave me behind. I don't want to live alone." Rikka's crying personality suddenly turned on, and tears welled up in her eyes.
"I was wondering where we should go, why did it get involved in other things? Would you like some pills too? They are delicious!"
Boom took out a few small black balls from his storage bag, and then wanted to stuff them into the other person's mouth.
"No, no, no, those ghost things taste too bad! Brother, have you figured out where to go?" Rikka put her head into Boom's arms, or wiped her nose clean.
"Not yet. Although the world is very big, I feel very confused now." Boom did not lie and replied honestly.
Rikka showed an indifferent expression to this, because in her opinion, no matter where she was going, as long as she could be with Boom.
"Brother, why don't we go to Shimmer Forest? I heard that the elves are all idiots and easy to fool." Rikka said with a smile.
"No, it's too far! Maybe we were killed before we even reached the port."
"What's more, my injury...that's a big favor. You have to remember the people who treat you well."
Boom shook his head and rejected the other party's proposal. At this time, in his heart, he was still a little repelled by foreigners, or he didn't want to be with them all day long.
Then, Rikka opened her notebook and read out the names of the major foreign races and most of the principalities. Boom did not object, but listened quietly.
Finally, the cave regained its tranquility. Rikka leaned against Boom, and Boom pulled the bear skin back. Having no goal may be the only way to persevere, and having no hope may be the motivation to run forward.
As the night slowly faded, the last day of the warm moon came to an end. Rikka in her arms was still sleeping, but the hand holding her never let go.
Boom stuffed a pill into his mouth and chewed it carefully. He never found it difficult to swallow, but instead seemed to be tasting the most delicious food.
Although he had not slept all night, Boom seemed very happy. The last link in his heart was cut off. From now on, he and Rikka would embark on a journey, even though his vision was obscured by fog.
"Have you slept well? It's time for us to leave here." Boom looked at Rikka's sleepy look and said with a wry smile.
"Well, brother, it's so early today. Do you want to eat?" Rikka yawned and took out some dried meat and even water from the dimensional space.
After breakfast, the two quietly walked out of the dense forest and officially embarked on their journey. The mercenary carriage around them was still noisy, and the smell of ashes lingered in the Aogu City behind them.
