"Alicea, I think it is necessary for us to have a frank talk now." He seemed to have discovered the truth of something. "?" Miss Pink Fairy didn't understand why the man in front of her could suddenly say such unromantic words in such an atmosphere, nor did she know what truth he had discovered. So she inevitably fell into speechless silence. At this time, Lu Mian asked: "Aliceia, tell me your real age now." The gentle voice, neither light nor heavy, was like a final blow, immediately waking the girl from her daze. "Eh?" Alicia didn't understand why Lu Mian suddenly asked about her age. After a brief moment of doubt, she opened her cherry lips slightly as if to tell him everything, but after waiting for enough time, she showed a playful smile like a fairy:
"Well - I won't tell you~? After all, keeping your age a secret is every girl's birthright~?" Hearing this, Lu Mian nodded slightly as usual, but he had reached a definite conclusion in his heart. He didn't understand what was so important about hiding one's age. So now it seems that Alicia is either a grown-up girl who has lived for thousands of years, or... a minor? If it is the former, it’s nothing, but if it is the latter, it would be interesting. Lu Mian usually doesn't like to observe Alisha closely, but that doesn't mean he never observes Alisha. A few days ago, he accidentally looked at Alicia's slightly immature face, and suddenly an idea came to his mind. I never asked about Alicia's age before. If Alicia's age is dangerous, does that mean he is employing child labor? Don't be fooled by the fact that Alicia has a curvy figure now, this is most likely because she is naturally strong and plump. The more Lu Mian thought about it, the more this seemed possible. But it’s no big deal, it’s just breaking the law. He was quite good at “behaving like a human” in his last simulation. [Alicea, I will sit here and drink wine for the rest of my life, but I will never figure out how your brain circuit works. ] [However, this difference in ideas that does not involve any fundamental issues is part of the fun of your two lives. ] 【It doesn’t affect anything. 】 【...】 [Time, which will not stop, moves towards the future step by step as the world rotates, and a year has passed in the blink of an eye. 】 [On an afternoon that couldn't be more ordinary, Alysia handed in her resignation to you and said that the world is so big and she wants to go see it.] [The world is so big, she wants to go see it? ]
Chapter 4 A Wooden Plane Early morning, workshop. Crystal dewdrops condensed on the tender leaves of green plants, then fell to the ground and broke into four petals. pat, pat. Lu Mian silently watched Alicia hand in her resignation just to travel around the world, and smiled as usual: “Traveling around the world? That’s a great idea. When I was young, I was trapped in a small place due to various trivial matters, and I always lacked some understanding of the world. "I am very happy that you can freely measure the world with your own eyes, and I wish you well from the bottom of my heart." Hearing this, Miss Pink Fairy lowered her eyelids slightly and pursed her lips, but in the end she couldn't explain it. She handed the "pink fairy" in her arms back to Lu Mian, and was about to give a flawless smile, but was interrupted by Lu Mian's action. But Lu Mian stuffed the Jigglypuff in his hand back into Alicia's arms, hooked his fingers and tickled the little guy's soft belly, causing her to laugh and shake her body. Perhaps it was the little guy's naivety that dispelled the slight sadness of parting, and Alicia raised the corners of her mouth slightly to reveal a happy smile. Seeing this, Lu Mian withdrew his hand and said softly: "She probably wouldn't be happy if she were separated from you, her 'alternate'. Besides, she should take a good look at the world." Then take a good look at what "human beings" really look like, and then decide whether to stand on the side of humans. He didn't say this out loud, but turned around and started packing up - packing up things that Alicia and Jigglypuff would definitely need and might need on the road. Alicia hugged Jigglypuff, looked at Lu Mian's broad back as he packed his things, bit her teeth and said: "Boss...can you travel with me?" After he finished speaking, Lu Mian stopped packing his things. He turned around and gave Alicia and Jigglypuff a hearty smile. He spoke as if he had prepared the words long ago: "Hahahaha, I'm not going." [Alicea wants to take a good look at the world. Will she stop for you? ] [Probably not.] [Therefore, you will not give up your career and go on this long journey for her. ] [Besides, you have already established some relationship with Alicia through this year's interaction. There is no need to stay with her any longer.] [How can it be more fun to play games as a woman? 】 "..." Alicia stared at Lu Mian in silence, but was not surprised at Lu Mian's answer at all. She had experienced this kind of thing many times in the year they had been together and was completely used to it. At this time, Lu Mian walked up to Alicia with a large backpack that was half the height of a person. "These are all useful things. Don't let yourself down."
It was unclear whether this was said to Alicia or to Jigglypuff in Alicia's arms. Alicia thought she was talking to herself, and she smiled a flawless and sweet smile: "Oh my~? Boss, can you bear to let a girl like me carry such a big bag?" “Then let Jigglypuff carry it?” Lu Mian answered immediately. After hearing this, Alicia looked at the little guy in her arms waving his short arms confidently, and didn't know whether she should laugh or not. "...Let me do it..." she said helplessly. [Alicea finally left, taking Jigglypuff with her.] 【Aliceia finally left. 】 [She is so likable that you can resist falling in love with her after spending a year with her.] What about two years, three years, or even many years? [You don’t like Alicia, and you don’t want to like Alicia. ] [Whether it is liking or loving, it is the fall of free will and the ultimate embodiment of private affection. ] [Due to some experiences in your childhood, your views on these two emotions are more selfish than those of ordinary people.] 【And what kind of person is Alicia? 】 [You have gotten to know her a little better over the past year, and you can see that these two kinds of feelings in her heart are very broad.] 【You have no doubt that she will "fall in love" with anyone. 】 [When you think about the fact that she might smile the same flawless smile at someone else the next second, you can't help but feel disgusted. ] [So during this year you will intentionally or unintentionally distance yourself from Alicia, so that the relationship between the two of you remains that of ordinary friends.] [It seems to be successful now.] 【As for Jigglypuff, you wish her the best. 】 [As her "father" and creator, you can clearly sense that she is not simply appearing as a Pokémon. ] [She has the same or even better intelligence as humans, but she has not yet grown up. ] [I hope she can see clearly what the world and humans are like together with Alicia, and then make her own judgment.] [You yourself did not even feel sad for a moment about their departure. You immediately packed up your things and left this small workshop that was once like home but was not home after all.] [After losing Alysia, this small workshop has almost lost its meaning of existence. You need to go to a big city and rebuild a decent company.] [As the saying goes, there is no coincidence in the world. Just after Alicia and you left the small town of Vostok-51, a sudden natural disaster swept here.] [No one survived in the entire town.] [After accidentally hearing the news, Ailishia stopped her journey and returned to the town. ]
[On the broken road, she stared blankly at the ruins of the workshop that had collapsed beyond recognition, not knowing what expression she should show.] [She was able to identify the identities of all the victims by their bodies, but she was unable to find you.] 【Will you be okay? 】 【She doesn’t know.】 [How, how could this happen...] ----------------- In the evening, in the bustling city, Lu Mian was walking alone on the street. He looked at the busy scene of traffic and people coming and going, and subconsciously thought about his future plans. Before I knew it, I had reached the bottom of a slope. "Whoosh-" Suddenly, a sound of breaking air sounded above his head. Looking up, he saw a small wooden plane getting bigger and bigger in his sight. Wait, it's getting bigger? Isn't this the Bull Demon diving towards him!? Eh? Have you seen this scene somewhere before? "Boom-" [By the time you realize the wooden plane is diving toward you, it's too late.] [The next moment, the wooden plane that can only be held with both hands falls directly on your smooth forehead. ] [Does it sound good? If it sounds good, it means you have a good forehead. ] [The muffled sound did not attract anyone to stop, as people in big cities all had their own things to do.] [You take off the plane on your forehead, suppress the sense of déjà vu and the inexplicable throbbing in your heart, and look back. ] Chapter 5 Great Inventor Lu Mian, who was hit on the forehead by a sudden wooden plane, suppressed the throbbing in his heart and looked back. The romantic orange and the gorgeous purple blend together to create a beautiful evening sunset scene. Under this sunset, a girl with two-color fluffy hair and wearing a carefully designed dress stands on the ramp. She was holding a wooden remote control in her hand. Lu Mian squinted his eyes slightly towards the skylight. He couldn't see the girl's specific appearance and expression, but it was enough to conclude that she was not the person he had in mind. Different time, different place, and different people do not constitute the longed-for reunion. An answer that was not unexpected but surprisingly disappointing. Even if God indulges time, reunion is still far away.
Lu Mian looked up at the girl, and the girl also lowered her eyes to look at Lu Mian, and their eyes met. After just second of hesitation, the girl turned and ran. Seeing this, without taking time to think, Lu Mian immediately stepped up the slope and caught up. Even if it weren't for the excitement and sense of déjà vu in his heart, he should return the wooden plane in his hand.
