Xia lied on the ground in silence, but her eyes were aid toward Ying not that she could see anything, though. She called, Sister
Xias voice was very soft. It was so soft that you couldnt hear it over the noisy environnt and crackling flas at the spot. However, I heard her voice. Perhaps I heard her, as I was paying attention to her. I had my sights on the side of her face the entire ti. Xia looked at Ying, who was next to her; rather, she turned in Yings direction and weakly smiled. Her smile was subtle that it was hard to tell if it was a smile or not, as she had reached her limit. She did her best, yet all she could produce was a shaky smile for her sister. I was unsure what her emotions were. I didnt know how Xia felt when she heard Ying say she was sending Xia back. She definitely heard her sister and definitely knew what her sister did. She finally returned to her sisters side, yet her sister insisted on sending her back. I wondered what Xia thought.
Xia maintained her barely noticeable weak smile. There was no sadness or grudge. Instead, she cherished every second with her sister. It was tantamount to a short and temporary dream, but she smiled, nonetheless.
I pondered, Has she reached despair, too? Is she at the point of despair where she no longer believes she can be with her sister? Is she in so much despair that shes given up trying even when she has found hope? Does she perceive it to be a dream?
Ying just wanted to maintain her current life. She used her sister as her tool to atone, but that made her feel guilty, and she blad herself. She didnt want to see her sister, as she was worried her nightmare of the past would co haunt her. Her past tornted her. Her past was rainfall, and she needed a cave to avoid the rain, but she refused to take a step forward. Xia was a dream of the past to Ying. Xia was her fear and guilt she never wanted to recall. In reality, Ying didnt need to run away. She didnt do anything wrong. Xia didnt want to bla Ying, either. I was certain Xia willingly gave herself up for her sister back then, for the simple reason Ying was her sister. This ti, she turned to Ying again.
Take Xia back It was all my fault I am very sorry. I have caused you trouble Sorry Sorry!! Ying lowered her head. It was the first ti that I heard her shout in such a loud and sad voice. I wondered if Id see her tears if I clasped her face at that mont.
Place Xia there! Well take her! Get rid of these outsiders! Kick them out! Youre supposed to protect us; shouldnt you kill these outsiders who attacked us?!
The crowd behaved as if they acquired a mysterious power, and their shouting was so sort of magical chant. Even the man, who had his arm chopped off, arrogantly got to his feet and shouted at us. It was as though they could bring the small shrine down with their anger. Nevertheless, their courage was still not enough to break Nier, who was still gripping her sword. After all, a clown remains a re clown even if he has soone backing him up. Excuse there. A group of clowns.
I went to go and stand in front of Ying. I turned around, and then drew my handgun to fire a shot in the air. After being startled, the villagers fell silent again. In a cold tone, I commanded, Nier, Im changing my orders. If these people dare to charge inside, kill whoever enters. Dont allow any of them to lay their hands on Xia!
How much more trouble do you people want to give ?!! Ying thundered
I turned around to see Ying staggering to her feet. As I thought, her face was smothered with tears. She bit down tightly on her lip. She tightly clenched her fists and shouted at , This has nothing to do with you! Why are you ddling? Why did you bring Xia out! Shes very well very
You cant even continue with your lie, can you? I asked before turning back to the villagers. Youre trying to trick yourself with your lie, right? Havent you noticed that you even deceive yourself, though? Ying, we didnt bring her out because shes your sister. We rescued her solely because I cant accept a girl, who didnt do anything wrong, being subjected to the abuse. I want to save an innocent young girl. Id save her even if she wasnt Xia.
This has nothing to do with you!!
Their lives have nothing to do with you, either. Ying, their lives only matter to you, for the reason that you feel responsible towards them. The sa goes for . I helped this girl, as I felt she needed my help. It has nothing to do with you.
If you hand Xia to Ying, well be dead for sure!! We might as well fight!! Shouted one individual in the crowd.
That murderer will kill us if she has no misgivings! We tortured her sister! If Xia returns to her, shell have no qualms left and definitely kill us!! We can still snatch Xia back instead of just waiting to die!!
I wont! exclaid Ying. She rushed back into the shrine after a mont of hesitation. She ca back out with her sabre used to combat the wyrm. She drew her sabre and aid it at .
Nier swiftly spun around and aid her sword at Ying emotionlessly. Ying wiped her tears then took in a deep breath. She held her sabre steadily an, in a serious tone, said, Last warning. Hand Xia over to them for my sake and Xias. Thats the best option for us.
I crouched down and gently picked Xia up. Xia powerlessly leaned onto my chest. In her soft voice, she asked, Who are you? Sister Wheres my sister?
I whispered, Your sister is here. Your sister is next to you. Its all right. Its all right. You wont be separated from your sister again. I promise you wont have to separate from your sister again. Leave it to . Leave it to .
Ying brayed, Dont spout nonsense!! Xia. Xia, you must go back! Did you forget about us?!! You must go back!! You must go back!
Xia listened to her sister from my arms, and then slowly turned her head toward . She couldnt open her eyes. Even if she did, she wouldnt have anything, as all she had were empty sockets. Humans destroyed her innocence with their evil and hypocrisy.
I held Xias hand and solemnly told her, Trust , Xia.
Let go of her!! Xia! Ying roared in my direction. Her gaze was so complex that it made one have an urge to cry.
Thank you, said Xia, revealing a reassuring smile then gently placed her hand into mine. I gently held her hand and stepped aside.
Ying scread at the top of her lungs: Let go of him!!
If you want to take Xia, youll have to get past first.
Nier looked at Ying and raised her long sword. The two understood what each other ant in spite of the language barrier.
Last warning. Let go of her, demanded Ying.
Firm in my stance, I shook my head, Not happening.
Dont bla , then, responded Ying.
Ying raised her sabre and charged over. Nier lunged over.
Dont hurt her, Nier! And dont let yourself get hurt, either!!
I can accomplish the second order without question, but I cant promise I can accomplish the first one.
