The night is still quiet and deep, and the night owl, who doesn’t know when he will return, is running rampant in the Aogu City in the warm moon. A piece of gray feather falls down, waking up countless ants, but it is difficult to create bigger ripples.
Boom is still sitting cross-legged on the bed, constantly accumulating magic power through elemental summons. Rikka went to bed early today, because there are still many items in the dimensional space waiting for her to count.
The familiar small courtyard came into view again. Rikka passed through the low wall and passed through the wall. Sometimes she looked at the dried meat she bought not long ago, and sometimes she checked the ale and clothes.
However, just as he was about to leave, something that had never appeared here came into view. It was a well, an ordinary well.
"Huh? When did such a thing appear? Yeah! There seems to be water in it, and I don't know if it can be drank." Rikka was standing by the well, looking at it curiously.
This dimension of hers is very weird to begin with. In addition to its huge size, there is also an inexplicable mysterious courtyard inside.
Fortunately, the function is no different from that of a storage bag, so for many days, Boom has agreed to Rikka's willful behavior. But now this well appears out of thin air, once again making Rikka panic.
"What should I do? Should I tell my brother, but he can't come in." Rikka stuck her head into the well, but nothing happened.
"Uh... How about just forget it? No, no! If my brother finds out, he will definitely scold me." Rikka thought for a while and decided to tell the truth.
A ball of white light lit up in the dimensional space, and Rikka's consciousness returned to her original form again. After opening her eyes, she first glanced at Boom secretly, and then slowly sat up after calming down.
In the dim attic, Boom was still surrounded by magic patterns, and the faintest hint of magic was sucked into his body. The black wooden staff was hanging in the air, emitting a faint fluorescent light.<
/p>
Time passed by minute by second, and Rikka never made any move, leaning against the wall like a child who had made a mistake. This was her habit, and she was used to staring at Boom quietly like this.
"Is there something dirty on my face?" Rikka, who was in a daze, was awakened by Boom's words after the training, and almost stabbed the steel knife in his hand into his thigh.
"Ah! Brother, you are going to scare me to death! My body is very delicate, and I can't get through this without a gold coin." Liuhua was startled when he heard this, and then said.
"Here, here you go, but what happened?" Boom threw a gold coin to the other party in a funny way, but there was a trace of suspicion on his face.
"This is what happened..." Rikka told him everything from going out to buy things in the morning, to stealing half a piece of soy sauce beef at noon, to the well that appeared out of thin air in the dimensional space just now. Boom, who was listening quietly, first thought that the other party was just boring and causing trouble, but in the end his expression gradually became serious. A new situation appeared again. This time Rikka was not unconscious, but there was an extra well in the body! <
/p>
However, after thinking for a moment, he reluctantly discovered that the knowledge he currently possessed was not enough to solve this problem.
"That well...is a well? Are there any other differences?" After Boom said these words, he felt that even he couldn't understand.
"Uh...it's just a well! But I can't condense it into a solid body yet, and I don't know if the water in it is drinkable." Rikka climbed to Boom's side with bare feet and replied with some doubts.
"Drink? Aren't you afraid of being poisoned to death?" Boom scolded with some annoyance.
It was another sleepless night. Boom and Rikka were leaning on the bedside side by side. The latter was fiddling with the steel knife listlessly, while the former was lost in thought.
Since the day he met Rikka, Boom has never stopped giving "surprises". From a dome to a little girl, then from the little girl to a monster with sharp blades, until the dimensional space appears in the body.
If he had a choice, he would not hesitate to give up the powerful strength shown by the other party and only hope that she would be as innocent as an ordinary little girl.
But fate is a mean fuck. Whatever people hope for, the results are mostly the opposite. The more you care about something, it will always backfire in the end.
Boom's mood is very complicated right now. He hopes that Rikka can grow into a powerful partner for him, but at the same time, he hopes that she will be healthy and safe. As for the problems that keep popping up, he has no solution, even after reading countless books.
.
This feeling of powerlessness is what he dislikes the most. Just like when he was in the slums, the baby next door failed to survive the cold winter, but the food in his mouth could only save one person.
"Can you summon the well water?" Boom recovered his thoughts and turned to look at Rikka.
"Then let's try it?" Liuhua also sat up after hearing this. He placed a wooden bucket beside the bed, and then slowly stretched out his right hand.
The white light flashed away, and a wisp of water appeared out of thin air and flowed into the barrel, instantly overflowing the edge and wetting a small area of the ground.
When Boom saw this, he hurriedly spoke to stop him. He really didn't want the last nest of the two to be poisoned. Tick tock, Rikka shook his hand and made a face with some embarrassment.
"I feel like it's just ordinary well water, what do you think?" Boom and Rikka squatted on the ground. The former dipped his hand into the water in the bucket and smelled it, while the latter followed suit.
"Yeah! It's just ordinary well water! But..." After checking it, Boom took a sip.
"But the quality is much better than the well water in our courtyard, even...even a little sweeter!" Liuhua also took a taste, and then replied with a bit of laughter.
Not long after, the brother and sister leaned back on the bed again, smiling helplessly at each other. Because everything seemed not to be dangerous, but more like they were worrying too much.
"Brother, what do you think this person is?" Rikka pinched Boom's fingers and asked quietly.
"I don't know, but you will always be my sister." Boom replied softly. He seems to be free every day, but in addition to practicing, he also has to take time to think about Rikka's identity.
This is not because he has any intention, just because the other person is his only relative. He wants to understand everything, because only in this way can he protect the other person.
Life is so helpless. Many times we want to change, but countless unknown dangers are as close as a mangy dog.
The harder we tried to get closer to the truth, the more we were bruised and bruised. Finally, we had to stop out of breath and feel dejected.
"Brother, I'm not afraid of death. I'm just afraid that my brother will be lonely after death." Rikka turned into the kitten look again, which was completely opposite to the ferocity when her hands turned into short blades.
"If that day comes, I will live a good life, and then on the day I meet you, I will hold my chest high and not leave any regrets." Boom gently covered Rikka with a blanket, and the latter fell into a deep sleep. The change in the dimensional space within Rikka's body has struck again, whether it is a blessing or a curse. However, the two of them are still determined. They will live a wonderful life while they are alive, and they will face it calmly even if they die.
