Chapter 49 The Firefly Flower Sea You Once Longed to Visit 2
Time flowed slowly amidst the dancing fireflies.
I don't know how much time passed, but Elune must have cried herself to exhaustion.
She jumped back like a startled deer, her cheeks burning red.
"I'm so sorry! I lost my composure..."
"I...I just had some thoughts..."
She explained incoherently.
"Your family, right?" Lynn asked softly.
Elune was stunned: "You...how did you know?"
Lynn smiled, a smile that held an indescribable tenderness and bitterness.
"Chief Elune, have you forgotten the natural pact we made?" He pointed to his heart.
"We're so close now, I can feel your emotions, your longing... I can feel it all."
"I can feel your heartache, your helplessness, and... that desperate desire to fill the void."
He looked at the sea of flowers, his voice carrying far away.
"Actually, I have similar experiences to you."
"However, I still hope that we can cherish the present and stop dwelling on the past."
This was said to Elune, and also to Lynn himself.
Lynn remembered her past life.
She thought of her loving parents and how, after losing them, she chose to stay at home like Elune, indulging in something.
But we don't really love that thing, it's just...
The emptiness in my heart needs to be filled.
Painful things need to be forgotten.
At this moment, Elune also felt Lynn's sorrow.
The natural covenant warmed her heart slightly, conveying a similarly heavy sigh from the depths of the other's soul.
"I believe they definitely want you to be happy." Lynn's voice pulled her back to reality.
He reached out and gently wiped away the tear stains on her cheeks, his movements as tender as if he were touching something fragile.
Then, he stepped back and performed a standard, elegant elven invitation to dance.
He placed his right hand on his chest, bowed slightly, and extended his left hand towards her.
"So, I wonder if I have the honor—"
He looked up, his eyes gleaming in the fireflies, reflecting only her silhouette.
"—Inviting the beautiful Elune Chieftain to temporarily set aside all thoughts and, under this starry sky, amidst fireflies, and above a sea of flowers..."
"Want to dance with me?"
Elune stared blankly at his outstretched hand, at those...
At this moment.
It only contains its own eyes.
Elune's heartbeat became rapid and frantic.
She had countless reasons to refuse: it was impolite, I was tired, I looked too ugly, I couldn't dance...
but……
But even if it's just for this moment, that's fine.
I want to forget everything and immerse myself in it.
She slowly raised her hand and gently placed her cold, trembling fingertips into his warm, broad palm.
"It's my pleasure," she heard herself say, her voice as soft as a sigh.
Lynn smiled.
He took her hand in his, and gently placed his other hand on her waist.
There are no extra movements, just the most basic fairy dance steps.
Moon and stars, fireflies and a sea of flowers.
As their footsteps began to move—
Natural elements began to gather around them.
The fireflies seemed to be drawn by some invisible rhythm, gathering in groups, and as they danced, they drew arcs of light and color.
The sea of flowers beneath our feet seemed to sense the call of nature, blooming one after another in even greater splendor.
A breeze came, gently lifting Elune's skirt and long hair.
Moonlight and fireflies danced in her silver hair and flowed across her blushing cheeks.
The world has shrunk to just this sea of flowers.
Only the person in front of me remains.
All that remained was the warmth of palms touching and the rhythm of breaths mingling.
Elune looked up at Lynn.
His eyes saw only himself.
original……
A thought I'd never had before suddenly appeared with crystal clarity.
So this is what possessiveness is.
She wanted his eyes to always only see her.
She wanted his warmth to belong to her forever.
I want this moment...
Last forever.
Elune kissed her.
This time.
There was no drunkenness, and no reason needed.
Simply because...
I really...
I've fallen for you.
Even if after tonight, you will no longer belong only to me.
moment.
Lip points.
Elune gently wiped the silver thread from Lynn's lips, who was still in shock.
Then, looking into his eyes, which at this moment only held himself, he slowly spoke.
"Teacher Lynn."
"For the rest of your life, please continue to teach me the ways of nature."
She called him teacher again.
This time, there was no confusion or panic in his voice.
Only a clear, firm, and resilient will to break through the soil.
A sea of flowers in full bloom, fireflies filling the sky.
The warmth of that kiss still lingered on my lips, but some things could never be the same again.
Without waiting for Lynn's reply.
No answer is needed.
Elune had long since disappeared from sight.
The forest was silent.
Only the wind carried the message from afar.
"I can't find a good reason."
"To stop all this intimacy."
"This feeling is so strange."
"I'm sorry, I can't explain."
"I believe in this definition of love."
"A miracle might happen."
"The gentle breeze caresses."
"Perhaps good news is on its way."
"I just realized."
"You are dazzling."
"Please let me look into your eyes again."
"Nobody understands."
"No one has ever had a love affair like mine with a stranger."
"I think I'll start to miss you."
"But I just met you."
"I suspect this adventure was just a prank."
I suspect I've slowly fallen for you.
"Because I have the courage to love."
"I recklessly threw myself into the prank you gave me."
"The prank you played on me."
