Why should I run?

Sonia herself didn't know, but she had disappeared in the vast crowd and had no intention of going back.

After running for a while, Sonia felt that she had completely gotten rid of him, so she stopped and found herself in an unfamiliar place.

It didn’t matter, she was a Sanctuary magician, and there happened to be a beam of light on the rooftop of a nearby high-rise building, so she spread her golden and silver wings and flew over to see what kind of real or fake material it was.

However, when the village girl stood on the rooftop and looked down at this magnificent underground city, a strange thought suddenly occurred to her mind -

This is the city where he lived.

With his beloved one.

Yes, although Ash didn't tell the whole story of his long journey to the Gospel, Sonia could tell from his words that the Gospel was the one he couldn't let go of. His tone revealed his determination to return to the Gospel, a privilege that even his hometown Blood Moon didn't have.

Is it Miss An Nan who once dominated him?

Or who else?

The neon lights projected by the lights were reflected in Ruby's eyes. Sonia squatted on the edge of the rooftop, hugging her calves with both hands, staring at the pedestrians on the street who were like ants.

Maybe that's why she ran away.

She was actually not ready for a relationship that might not lead to any result.

The reason she mustered up the courage last night, in addition to Weisser's encouragement, was because her accumulated feelings had reached a point where she had to vent them. In other words, it was just an emotional physiological reaction, not a rational decision.

If we can't meet in reality, then everything is just an elusive illusion. And how easy is it to meet in reality? Teleportation between realms is a miracle that has never been heard of.

A relationship is like a flame, which must be fueled by close contact. Now Sonia can participate in his life slightly, so their relationship is maintained at this "flame" level, but if you want the flame to illuminate all the darkness, the fuel must also keep up.

If it burns in the void, all that is left is emptiness.

The anxiety of not being able to grasp your lover's feelings, the worry of not being able to be sure of your lover's safety, the fear of not being able to face a crisis together... If you step into the next stage without adequate preparation, you will inevitably be exhausted by repeated tests.

After the confession was interrupted, although Sonia felt disappointed, she was actually more relieved.

She was afraid of being rejected, but even more afraid of being accepted.

Because she knows that she is a greedy person. At that time, can Sonia really bear that she can only hear second-hand information about him every day, can only touch his soul without body temperature, and can only miss each other in different countries?

A wolf that has been hungry for too long will not be satisfied with just a little food, but will never be able to fill its stomach.

Now this relationship is good.

She couldn't make more demands, and naturally the relationship wouldn't break down, but there was still a possibility of further progress. The team could still exist harmoniously, and everyone could continue to explore the virtual world as usual, until a turning point appeared in reality...

Although the saying "If you don't hear me once, I'll say it countless times" in movies and TV shows sounds very cool, she doesn't have the courage, determination, or... conditions.

After making up her mind, Sonia stood up and looked at the beam of light, and discovered that the virtual material of the rooftop was actually a branch, and she didn't know how it was blown up.

She walked over to pick it up, and her expression suddenly became strange—

"The Tree That Cannot Be Remembered".

Although it was just a very short branch, it was indeed the real and virtual material she had been looking for, used to exchange magic spirits in the virtual world!

What a coincidence...

"How did you run so far..."

At this time, Ash's voice came from the edge of the rooftop. Sonia immediately spread her golden and silver wings and prepared to escape. The former hurriedly shouted a spell that could stop Sword Princess -

"I'm staying with a pretty girl today!"

Sonia froze, but she quickly asked, "Aren't you with your half?"

"It's a special mechanism of the trial," Ash said, spreading his hands as he approached cautiously, as if trying to kidnap a wild cat, "I don't want to, but I have no choice but to live with a beautiful girl."

Sonia stared at Ash blankly, covering her mouth and saying, "This trial is too cruel..."

"yes……"

"I actually turned half of your body into a female one!" Sonia was full of curiosity: "Does it look good? How's your figure?"

"What's wrong with your train of thought?" Ash held his forehead with his hand, "I and Yindeng exchanged halves, and now the owner of Yindeng's half body lives with me!"

Sword Princess' smile froze, "But aren't you enemies? Won't you fight if you live together?"

"No, because there is a quasi-sanctuary barrier protecting us. Even if she does something to the real me now, she can't hurt me."

"oh……"

By this time, Ash had walked over to Sonia and explained, "But we have two separate bedrooms, so we don't sleep together, we just live together."

Sonia blinked and turned her head away: "Why are you telling me this?"

"Because I think you need to know this," Ash said, "Since you are not interested, let's move on to the next topic. Last night--"

"Don't talk about last night!" Sonia slashed with her hand, trying to get away with it.

But this time it's different.

Ash grabbed her hand and aligned his palm with hers. When she blushed to her ears, Ash carefully squeezed his fingers into her fingers little by little, then closed her palm until their fingers were intertwined.

She was dizzy and was led by Ash to the edge of the rooftop and sat down. She heard Ash say, "Let's not talk about last night. You are free now. You should fulfill your promise."

"What promise?"

"Let's talk about your Meteor Robbery victory." Ash smiled and said, "I've been looking forward to it for a long time."

Sonia moved her hands, trying to break free, but Ash held on tightly, as if afraid that she would run away again. Although the soul has no body temperature, she felt her palms sweating.

She was silent for a while, and finally said, "A few days before the meteor disaster, I almost triggered "Co-birth".

"The blessing we received in the Amnesia Cabin?" Ash recalled thoughtfully: "At that time, I might have been becoming the first gospel."

"Yeah." Sonia nodded: "At that time I knew you were in danger. I had given up hope on Meteor Robbery, after all, Di Mi was a Saint Domain magician, but that night I suddenly didn't want to give up, so I went to find Sister Trozan to learn her Hidden Hand Secret Blade..."

As Sword Lady continued to tell his story, Ash felt as if he was accompanying her on a journey to win the championship. Suddenly, a figure appeared beside him.

It's a witch.

Diya did not disturb them, but just sat quietly on the right side of Ash, listening carefully to Sonia's story.

But after a while, Ash found that his right hand was grabbed.

The same fingers squeezed into the finger gaps, the same ten fingers were tightly clasped.

Yaxiu looked at Diya in surprise. Diya looked at him calmly, but her hands were clenched tightly, just like his own hands were clenched tightly.

In the distance, Weisser looked at the three people sitting on the edge of the rooftop and wanted to blow them off with a gust of wind. But in the end, she did nothing and left without looking back.

"Witch."

Sonia suddenly poked her head out and asked, "Can you see the viewer's face clearly?"

Diya nodded heavily: "Yes."

Sword Princess seemed to have received a long-awaited answer, and breathed a sigh of relief, revealing a faint smile:

"Then I understand."
