"Ok?"
Perhaps sensing the sound of footsteps after coming to her, Ai Si woke up from her absence, turned her head, and looked behind her back.
After seeing the full picture of the visitor, Ess couldn't help being startled, and then lowered her eyes, as if she had done something wrong, but she didn't dare to admit it.
Seeing such Aisi, Noah just moved his steps lightly, and also came to the edge of the cliff, looked into the distance, spoke softly, and said something like this.
"What are you thinking about?"
Hearing this, Ai Si didn't answer anything, but lowered her head even harder. After a while, she whispered.
"Sorry… "
"... Why do you have to apologize?" Noah smiled bitterly.
"Tiona, Tiogne and Lefia have all said that you have been apologizing before. That is because you think that you have something to hide from them as family companions. It shouldn't be a thing, but even though I joined I belonged to the Loki family, but I have only known you for a few months, let alone join temporarily, even if you have something to hide from me, it is a matter of course. If you apologize to me, it is not necessary?"
However, after hearing this sentence, Aisi, who had been bowing her head, raised her eyes, looked at Noah, and said without any consideration.
"It's not like that."
This time, it was Noah's turn to froze and looked at Aisi.
Facing Noah's gaze, Ai Si's expression remained unchanged, but the expression in her eyes was much brighter than before.
Then, Ace said so.
"You are also a very important companion."
Lack of emotional voice, but there is a feeling of persistence from the heart.
The dazedness on Noah's face gradually faded, and his expression became a little gentler.
"Really?" Noah stretched out his hand and touched Aisi's head as before.
"Even so, you don't have to apologize to me. After all, everyone has secrets that they don't want to be known. Just like me, I am confident that I have more secrets than anyone else."
This sentence is extremely convincing.
Because that is something everyone knows.
If there is no amazing secret, how could Noah be so powerful? How could it be so special? How could it be possible to conclude a contract with the fairy
Therefore, no one is more suitable to say this than Noah.
Recalling the past that Noah told everyone in front of everyone that night, Ace knew that those things were easy to say, but there must be many hidden dangers and processes hidden in them.
Thinking of this, Aisi suddenly felt that compared with Noah's past, the things she had hidden were really not worth mentioning.
When this thought rose from Ai Si's heart, Ai Si had an impulse.
An impulse to tell Noah.
Driven by such an impulse, Ai Si couldn't help but speak.
"I am indeed not a fairy."
The hand stroking Aisi's head paused.
In this situation, Aisi raised her head and met Noah's dark and deep eyes, and said so.
"However, there is fairy blood in my body, and mother's blood."
-mother.
That was the title of Ai Si for the owner of the blood flowing in her body.
Needless to say, it was a fairy.
The fairy can't give birth to offspring.
However, Ai Si still calls her mother.
Just because the blood of that fairy spirit was flowing in Ai Si's body.
"Dad is a hero." As if being dragged into the abyss of memories, Ace spoke softly.
"A true hero, the one that is even recorded in fairy tales."
As she said this, Ai Si turned her head, shoulder to shoulder with Noah, while looking at the distant woods, she said with a voice as if she might dissipate in the wind at any time.
"In the past, my father was very active as a hero, and my mother was the fairy who assisted him."
In other words, like the heroes and brave men in the era before the arrival of the gods, Aisi's father received the guidance and help of the fairy.
In this process, the two forged a deep friendship, and together they fought in the north and south, and created many brilliant results.
During the period, the two met together with the same instinctive friend.
During the period, the relationship between the two has been sublimated.
Thus, Ai Si was born.
Of course, fairies are a race that cannot have children.
So, is Aisi the biological daughter of the two
Noah is not unfamiliar with this question to dig.
Noah only needs to know one thing.
That is, Aisi's father is a real hero, and her mother is a fairy tale.
Therefore, Ai Si is not a fairy, but there is fairy blood in her body.
That is undoubtedly the result of the miraculous power caused by the fairy who is the mother of Ai Si.
Although Ai Si did not elaborate on the details, just like Esther said, Ai Si did have a great involvement with the fairy.
However, Noah did not expect that Ai Si's father was actually a real hero.
"What about your parents?" Noah asked involuntarily.
"Is it gone?"
Hearing these words, Aisi lowered her head and said in a low voice with a sad expression.
"In the final battle, we were separated."
Every heroic story has an ending.
And this ending will often end with a decisive battle.
The hero in the story and the villain in the story are in the final duel. Such development is often the most indispensable part of a story.
As for the final decisive battle, whether the hero wins, defeats the evil, or the devil stays high, the evil continues to perform the evil, and even the hero sacrifices himself at the end and saves the world. It depends on the author. In the mood.
And Aisi's father, obviously, did not usher in a perfect ending.
"I hate myself at that time a bit." Ai Si said suddenly.
"If it wasn't because I was too weak at that time, then maybe I would be able to rescue my father and mother."
"... Really?" Noah closed his eyes.
"Is that why you have been pursuing power?"
"... So, I'm not a hero like my father." Ace's pretty face lacking emotion was covered with a layer of sadness.
"I just grew stronger because of my personal grievances."
"But, there is no rule that it's wrong not to become stronger for others?" Noah grinned.
"Furthermore, even if it is right to be strong only for the sake of others, there is nothing wrong with you, because you are seeking to be strong for your parents, isn't it?"
Ess was silent for a moment.
After a while, Ai Si asked such a question.
"how about you?"
Noah was startled immediately.
I saw that Ai Si stared straight at Noah, and asked in a calm tone.
"Why did you become stronger for what?"
Ace's words flashed the dream in Noah's mind for the first time.
The dream that I have been dreaming since I was conscious.
In the dream, Noah stood in the pure white world.
There are patches of feathers around.
Some feathers are intact, some are missing.
And those missing feathers have always conveyed their feelings to Noah in their dreams.
What kind of feelings
-sad.
-helpless.
All they long for, which represent a world in themselves, are just to restore completeness.
That's right.
Just like a child, pure and simple.
In retrospect, that was the factor of Noah's initial impulse to become stronger.
Because Noah wanted to respond to them.
Respond to the incomplete feathers.
So Noah smiled and made such an answer from the bottom of his heart.
"Someone asked me for help. I want to help them, so I have to get stronger first."
A simple sentence perfectly explained the nature of Noah's pursuit of power.
And this answer, obviously seems to have exceeded Aisi's expectations.
Ess had only stared at Noah in a daze, until Noah also looked over and finally smiled.
"Really?" Ai Si retracted her gaze and continued to look into the distance, leaving only such a word that faded with the wind.
"You are really amazing."
"Is it amazing?" Noah sighed noncommitantly, and followed Ai Si, looking at the endless sea of trees, saying calmly and helplessly.
"Perhaps, I'm just being nosy, right?"
With the fall of such a sentence, Noah and Ai said nothing again.
The two of them just silently looked at the scenery of the sea of trees ahead, shoulder to shoulder with each other, letting the silence spread between them.
However, the atmosphere will definitely not make people feel uncomfortable, on the contrary, it gives people a very warm feeling.
