The girl lowered her head and apologized to the boy.
She didn't expect that she would actually hear about the boy's past like this. She thought that she must have touched the wounds in the boy's heart, and she couldn't help but feel guilty.
"Um? That's nothing to do..."
My God, how did this come back again?
The boy saw the sadness in the girl's eyes and realized that he seemed to have said something he shouldn't have just said.
"Are you okay? But..."
Nia was about to say something, but the boy immediately interrupted her:
"It's okay. With their personalities, they will definitely live well in another world."
"you……"
The girl was silent, her mood was very complicated now.
It turns out that this young man, like me, has no family?
Obviously similar things happened, right? But in terms of mentality, I lost too much to him.
"What's wrong?"
When the boy saw the girl fell into silence, he couldn't help but want to punch himself.
I really... I don't want to pick up any pot.
I wanted to avoid the trauma in Nia's heart, but I didn't expect that I accidentally sprinkled salt on it.
But fortunately, the girl is not fragile. Even if the topic just now involves her lost family, she can accept it a little better now.
Nia used her fingertips to pick away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then said in a trembling voice:
"Yes...even in another world, they will definitely live well."
Come to think of it!
Mother...and everyone else are good people.
When they get to heaven, the kind and loving goddess of light will definitely take care of them.
"……Um."
The young man pondered for a moment, then nodded.
He thought to himself: We shouldn't be talking about the same thing, but it's not bad if you really think so...
"Okay, let's do that?!"
The young man dusted himself off and stood up again.
He looked around first, pulled a coat and spread it on the car floor, then lay down again.
"What's that?"
The boy suddenly wanted to end the topic, which made the girl feel a little disappointed. She obviously still had many things to ask him.
"Sleep... If you're not tired, I'm tired."
Because the space was so small, it was inconvenient to stretch out his limbs, so the boy simply curled up like a cat.
"But where are we going next?"
There is no clear destination left, at least Frost Town cannot be reached.
I don't have anywhere else to go. It would be great if the place where these people go can take me and my sister in.
"I don't know. If you want to ask, just ask Zeref, he drives."
The black-haired boy yawned sleepily and closed his eyes.
"Um."
Nia knew that the young man was really tired, so she whispered to him:
"Good night."
The sky has darkened.
Although it is still a bit early to go to bed now, too many things happened today, and everyone is inevitably tired.
Get some rest early to recuperate your energy so that you can face the journey ahead.
"Good night."
The young man responded, turned around, and faced her with his back.
He wasn't used to sleeping with other people's eyes on him.
Nia was actually very tired, but her sister Lianna in her arms was still blinking at her, so she had to stay up for a while.
Just after a moment, Nia couldn't help shouting at the top of her voice:
"Um...Verus, are you asleep?"
Sure enough, just being awake by myself is a bit boring.
I have always wanted to get to know the boy next to me, and it is a pity to give up such a good opportunity today.
"I'm planning to sleep..."
The boy turned around again, but he still couldn't fall asleep.
He is really sleepy now.
Fighting against a pack of wolves is not an easy task, and it takes a lot of energy and energy out of him.
But for some reason, the boy just couldn't fall asleep.
Just when the boy was uneasy, the girl suddenly asked him in a very cautious tone:
"Can you...excuse me for a moment?"
"I've already disturbed you..."
The boy murmured to himself. Although his voice was very low, it was enough for the girl to hear clearly.
"Uh, sorry!"
As a result, the girl immediately apologized in a panic.
"Forget it, it's okay, just say what you have to say?"
The young man changed his sideways posture to lying flat on his back, and casually crossed his legs.
I didn't mean to care about anything, but I didn't expect the girl to behave so nervously.
"Well...have you been through a lot?"
This is Nia's own feeling. She always feels that this boy has experiences that most people his age have never experienced.
"It's not too much, but it's probably not too little, right?"
The boy kept looking at the wooden roof of the carriage, as if he could see through this barrier and see the night sky outside.
"Can you tell me something?"
"cannot."
The boy's reply was straightforward. He had no need to tell anyone about his past.
"Why do you want to ask me this?"
Few people asked him this question.
He was originally inconspicuous, if not for his black hair and black eyes, which are quite rare in the eyes of those people, and his excellent observation skills.
It is estimated that I have long been submerged in the vast sea of people, not known by anyone, and not paid attention to by anyone.
Let alone anyone interested in his past.
"Well, don't you want to talk about it?"
The girl avoided this question because the reason "I just want to get to know you" is really hard to explain.
"The boys in our village all like to show off this and that to others. For example, Jack caught a big slug last time and made a noise in the whole village."
"I'm different from them..."
The young man didn't want to continue talking about his past. Thinking of those nearly lost memories gave him an inexplicable headache.
He closed his eyes, let out a long sigh, and said:
"Go to sleep... Lianna is already asleep, you should also take a rest."
"Eh?"
Nia looked at her sister in her arms. The little guy had closed his eyes at some point, and his peaceful sleeping face was adorable.
"Um……"
Chatting now might wake up her sister in her arms, so the girl had no choice but to answer.
The young man didn't want to say anything more, and he was embarrassed to continue asking questions, so he could only take a good rest.
Zeref is still driving the carriage further away. It is certain that it is safe now, and it is estimated that he will stop and let the horse rest for a while.
Heimer had been sleeping hard from the beginning, and the consumption after escaping from the wolf's mouth was not so easy to recover from.
Nia found a blanket to cover herself and hugged her sister tightly to prevent her from catching cold.
After a while, she also fell asleep.
And that boy... his eyes that had been closed for a while opened again.
"Damn...why can't I sleep?"
He tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.
"Is that so? It's all her fault for asking these questions..."
The young man soon figured out why he couldn't sleep.
In the final analysis, it was still the question the girl asked about his past. When she asked the question, even if the boy didn't want to answer, he couldn't help but recall it.
As a result, my originally calm thoughts became restless.
"You must have those dreams, right? I really don't want to remember those things again."
After all, many things in his past are like nightmares one after another to him.
After finally getting rid of one, the next nightmare comes one after another.
He is afraid.
He was afraid that these nightmares would break the seal he had given, worm their way into his dreams again, and strangle him by the throat.
The past that I don’t want to look back on may be unbearable, miserable, or despicable...
There are many such things, and all of them have reasons for you to finally choose to close them in your heart.
"Well... forget it."
The young man took a deep breath and lowered his eyelids that could barely be raised.
You can't let this thing bother you.
"Go to sleep...I'm not really afraid of anything."
So what if I dreamed about it? The past is in the past.
If it becomes a thing of the past, is there any need to be afraid?
Thinking of this, the young man lost his burden and his tired consciousness finally fell asleep.
It's just that what he dreamed about next made him regret a little bit and chose to sleep the next day.
