I didn't expect that my brother had the same thoughts as me. Did this separation already make us so scared?

"It's not that I don't believe you, but in fact, you do have undue pity for Yamata no Orochi. I'm afraid that you will be hurt. After all, even if it is what you said, Yamata no Orochi is responsible for what Kyoto is like now.

"The culprit." Aye was a little incoherent, "I just... there's nothing wrong with you wanting to avoid it. I..."

Do you feel pity for Yamata no Orochi? But... why would I feel pity for a god? He is a superior god, and I am just a monster...

"But...why does my brother think that I feel pity for that god?" I pulled on his coat and asked, "Does my brother know anything? Or is he lying to me from the beginning?"

Aye opened her mouth and wanted to reach out and grab me again.

I hurriedly took a few steps back: "I don't want to be deceived again. Even if it's for my own good, I don't want to do it anymore. My brother has never believed me, but I have always believed in him, always... But,

Why? My brother has always been unwilling to believe it? Why do you want to deceive me again and again? "

Aye took a few steps forward: "I don't know anything, but what you did to that snake..."

"...After all, I am also a snake." I took a few steps back in despair, "Is this why you let A Xi look at me at home? Are you also afraid that I will be bewitched by the Yamata no Orochi? My body is full of empty blood.

She is a snake demon, so this is what you are afraid of, right?"

Aye shook his head hastily: "No, Azi, please listen to my explanation..."

"I don't want you to explain... Everything was designed by you. Even if you explain, you have thought about it in advance. All I have to do is follow your arrangements. I don't like this. We are obviously relatives...

…But I keep being lied to.”

Maybe I'm afraid of losing him, but I also hate myself for being deceived by him again and again. Whether it's the Aoiko incident or the Xingyuan incident. He has never really told me, and he has never told me.

What he was going to do was to keep me in the dark and be manipulated by him like a puppet. As if my fear of losing him was like a joke.

Aye didn't speak anymore, he just looked at me like that. In the silent snowy night, we were like two hedgehogs trying to keep warm, getting closer again and again, and hurting each other again and again.

I was suppressed by such silence, and finally threw his coat on the ground.

Even though he gritted his teeth, tears kept falling.

Someone picked up the coat and wrapped it around me again. Warm fingers brushed my face, and I knew who it was without even thinking about it. But now, what can I do?

"I'm back." Axi looked at me and said.

"...and then I'll be deceived by you again?"

A Xi shook her head: "I won't let him lie to you again."

"..."
