"Okay, don't be surprised, follow up, Tong Hu."
After coming back to the orphanage, Aaron and everyone in the orphanage waited at the door.
"Tianma! And... Brother Long Cheng!?"
Aaron looked at the three of them in surprise. He didn't expect Long Cheng, who had been away for many years, to come back today.
"Oh, Aaron, it's been a long time." Not minding the surprised eyes of other people, Long Cheng carried Tianma into the orphanage and put it on the bed.
"It's been a long time, Brother Long Cheng. What happened to Tianma?"
Before it was too late to ask Long Cheng's reasons for leaving, Aaron and the people in the orphanage worriedly took care of the unconscious Tianma.
"Don't worry, Tianma is fine. He will wake up in a while.
Compared to this... Aaron, come out with me."
Let Tonghu take care of the children in the orphanage and Tianma temporarily, and Long Cheng took Aaron outside.
The sky has cleared, the morning sun is slowly rising, and there are no pedestrians on the streets of the slums, which seems a bit deserted.
"Brother Long Cheng...is there anything? And what did you do back then..."
"I followed Sisyphus to the sanctuary to practice, I plan to wait for Tianma to wake up and take him there."
Looking at the Pluto pendant carved with [YOURSEVER] on Aaron's chest, Long Cheng's eyes flashed, and then he patted his left hand on his shoulder.
"Aaron...the future...will be filled with darkness and despair...but I hope you can always keep that...kind self...don't...don't...don't fall into darkness!"
During the speech, a golden wine glass and a simple ring merged into Aaron's body.
The sacred power of the Holy Grail is completely integrated with Aaron's soul. The simple ring separates the golden soul from the dark universe, and strands of air are drawn away from the dark night sky by the ring, and then merged into Aaron's soul.
With the kindest, clear soul in the world and the flesh of Hades, Aaron is the best candidate to inherit the [Holy Grail of the Secluded World].
In order to protect Aaron, Long Cheng also used the ring of usurpation to help Aaron steal the sleeping Hades small universe.
"Although I still don't understand Long Cheng's words, I will remember it in my heart!"
Aaron, who didn't understand what happened, said, no, maybe he found something, but he didn't say it.
"Okay, let's go back." Having said that, Long Cheng took Aaron towards the orphanage.
"Hey, kid. Do you want that power and enthusiasm to be used by more people? For love and justice on earth! Become a saint of the goddess..."
As soon as they opened the door of the orphanage, Long Cheng and Aaron saw Tong Hu preaching to Tianma.
...
"Tenma, don't you just want to move around, okay?" Aaron held up the paintbrush and said to his friend who was sitting in the chair.
"It's very difficult for me to stay still..." Tianma said, scratching his head. For Tianma, keeping him quiet is more uncomfortable than killing him.
"Be patient, if you don't paint now, maybe you won't have the chance to paint a portrait for you."
"No problem, I will be back soon, after I become the saint of the goddess." Tianma replied with a smile.
...
"Why... don't you go in? After all, this may be the last chance to meet before the holy war." Tong Hu standing outside the church slightly raised his hat and looked at the companion beside him.
"No... I have an appointment with Aaron... After the holy war is over, let him draw a family portrait."
To Long Cheng's answer, Tong Hu fell silent.
...
"Aaron, I finally understand what the universe I feel is. Tong Hu told me that it is called a small universe.
If you go to that place called Sanctuary, you will meet many amazing guys who can feel the small universe just like me.
I must go there, I want to become stronger, stronger than Long Cheng.
Then, to protect you, I will definitely come back!"
Tianma sat cross-legged in a chair, full of yearning, and talked freely with Aaron about his vision for the future.
"..." Putting down the paintbrush gently, Aaron said in distress, "No more."
"Uh……"
"I always wanted to bring out the red like your eyes."
"Red!?" Tianma pointed to his eyes, "You said I have red eyes? I'm not a rabbit!"
"No. Your brown eyes, under the shining of the setting sun or the fire of an event heater, will be more vital and shining than any red.
But now I still can't make that color smoothly.After you come back as a saint, let's continue painting.I have made an appointment with Long Cheng, and I will draw a family portrait for everyone at that time.
Before that, I will also be an excellent painter, so..."
Reluctant tears dripped down his cheeks and wet the wreath on his wrist.
"Ah, it's a deal!" Tianma patted Aaron on the head and said with a smile.
...
The door of the church opened, and two teenagers came out.
"Let's go, Tong Hu, Long Cheng brother."
"The painting is finished?"
"Not yet, I will continue painting later."
Tong Hu looked at Aaron and couldn't help but stunned.
"is there anything?"
Shaking his head, Tong Hu said, "No, sorry, really clear and beautiful eyes."
"Let's go, Tenma. Aaron, take care of yourself."
"Go, Tianma, we are about to get up and head to the sanctuary."
"Well, I see, then goodbye Aaron!"
"Goodbye, Tianma, Longcheng brother."
