It started to rain again this morning.
Just like when I went home that day, it had been raining since the morning and never stopped.
From overhead there was the sound of rain hitting the tarpaulin.
The puppy, soaked by the rain and huddled in the corner, raised his head.
It was Li Mo who held up his old cyanotic umbrella again. The color was terrible and the material was of the worst quality. It couldn't let any light through. If he was a child who was obsessed with comparison, he would definitely rather get wet in the rain. You wouldn't go out with this umbrella.
"Sorry, I should have picked you up earlier."
Li Mo wrapped the puppy in a towel and carried him in his arms.
The puppy smelled the smell of blood coming from his hand, and there was an iron pickaxe next to it. It must have been worn out by using the iron pickaxe to dig a path in the Demon King's city, which was like an ice sculpture.
He must have come back to pick up something important, but all he had in his hand was this ugly old umbrella.
The puppy couldn't help but ask Li Mo on a whim:
"You always hold this umbrella, but it really doesn't suit you."
"Nothing is suitable for a person like me."
"Did you come back specifically to get this umbrella?"
"Well, I don't know what's good about it, but this is her treasure. She is pampered and loves face, but she actually knows how to use this umbrella. Hey, I told her many times, but she refused to change it. Sure enough, she refused to change it. , the person who can use this kind of umbrella must be a thick-skinned person like her. Although I don’t think it is suitable, I just feel that I have to keep using it. I can’t throw it away even if I want to. This Stuff.”
The puppy could tell who he was talking about, and just like usual, he liked to talk to himself about that person.
But this time it was a story that the self-proclaimed wise general had never told. Perhaps it was a story before he came, because he had seen that umbrella when he first met him.
Just like today, it has been raining since morning without stopping.
Just like today, this old umbrella protected me from the rain.
"The day I came home for the first time, you came to pick me up with this umbrella."
"Really? I don't have much memory of this. I just remember that when I picked you up that day, you were covered in injuries and almost couldn't be saved."
Li Mo joked to the puppy mercilessly as usual, but this time he gently patted the puppy on the back and said:
"Don't worry, I will definitely fulfill the promise I made to you that day, no matter what."
The puppy muffled and just shook his head:
"That's fine now."
"Haha, don't you want to ask why the Demon King's City turned into this? You must have been scared when you came back, right?"
Li Mo laughed out loud, but the puppy couldn't tell what was funny about it.
"I just want to know where we live now."
"The environment we live in now is not bad. It is the residence of the Lord of the Land of Wind. We will move back in the summer after the ice melts."
It’s unclear when the rain will stop in this season, but even if you don’t hold an umbrella, the raindrops will only wet your hair, so not many people will care about it. exist.
But even this kind of rain can cover the entire sky with gray.
"I'm sorry, I lost my house."
Li Mo said suddenly.
The puppy hid in his arms, but when he raised his head, he couldn't see his eyes. The puppy liked his eyes very much. They were dark red and would become deeper as long as the magic power was activated.
But now those eyes must be full of self-blame, whether for themselves or for that person.
But, as I said just now, it’s fine now.
Both I and that person must think so.
No matter whether the agreement can be realized or not, no matter where we live, she and I just want to be close to you like this.
"Because, as long as you are there, it is home."
