Elden Ring, but with Wind Spirit Moon Shadow

Chapter 79 Your slowly pulling away your fingertips is a kind of aesthetics

Bai Shi woke up from the sofa.

There was still the distinct touch of Melina’s soul on his hands.

Melina didn't take her hand away, and I wonder if she had fallen asleep too.

Bai Shi looked over and still saw nothing.

Bai Shi began to wonder if there was any way to help Melina regain her body.

However, the methods that Bai Shi thought of seemed unable to be tried for the time being and would have to wait until later.

Bai Shi didn't move so as not to disturb Melina, but just turned his head to look out the window.

The sky was already bright, and the huge moon disappeared under the light of the golden tree.

The majestic golden tree seemed to be reminding Bai Shi that he had also lost his hometown long ago.

Thinking of this, Bai Shi couldn't help but smile.

"I came to learn the moves of the Lost Knight, it seems like a good match."

The mind will not indulge in memories. It is enough for the hometown that cannot be returned to to exist only in the heart.

He has more important things to do and will never be held back by his hometown.
-
Not long after Bai Shi woke up, Melina, who felt the vibrations from Bai Shi's soul, also woke up.

Melina, who is only left with her soul, is very sensitive to souls, especially when the two of them are in contact.

Melina opened her eyes and looked at the two people's hands. Because they fell asleep, their hands were no longer clasped.

Melina's fingers gently hooked around Bai Shi's thumb and index finger, almost letting go.

Fortunately, Bai Shi's fingers were very strong, and they hooked together with Melina's fingers, so they barely kept them from separating.

There are many fine scars and thick calluses on Bai Shi's fingers.

Melina remembered the first time she held Bai Shi's hand, which was at the front of the checkpoint.

At that time, he was about to help Bai Shi use Rune to increase his strength, but he saw the scar on his hand and suddenly clenched it.

At that time, Bai Shi's hands were still white and clean, without even any calluses, and he didn't look like a warrior at all.

In contrast, these hands now seem a bit unbearable to look at.

I don’t know if Bai Shi thought of me in the same way at that time, which is why he suddenly held my hand.

Melina shook her head.

Feeling sorry for the wound on a soldier's hand is somewhat trampling on his determination.

"Is it morning already? I slept for so long, it's rare."

Melina was about to move her fingers away when she saw Bai Shi's head turned around.

Although Bai Shi should not be able to see Melina now, his gaze was inexplicably accurate in looking at Melina's face.

Melina's eyes met Bai Shi's.

Melina was stunned when she saw Bai Shi looking at her.

"Hmm? Bai Shi saw me?"

Melina raised her other hand and waved it between herself and Bai Shi.

The white consciousness did not respond.

"It's a coincidence indeed."

Even though she knew this, Melina was still a little disappointed.

It wasn't what she wanted to be invisible, but as a soul she had no choice.

I saw Bai Shi turned his head back and looked out the window.

Melina suddenly wasn't in a hurry to move her hand away.

Bai Shi had no intention of letting go, so there was no need to move away now.

Just a moment, just a little while longer.
-
Just two or three minutes after Bai Shi looked at the golden tree, Melina's voice sounded beside him.

"I just woke up. Sorry, I didn't let go."

"You don't have to apologize for everything. You just promised me yesterday."

Bai Shi felt helpless. Melina really loved apologizing, even though it was obviously nothing.

"It's a little hard to change it all at once, hold... No, I will pay attention." Feeling Melina's fingertips slowly withdrawing, Bai Shi suddenly had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Bai Shi couldn't describe what kind of feeling this was, he just felt that the phantom pain that had disappeared from his body seemed to have come back again.

Bai Shi suddenly remembered a sentence that seemed very appropriate now:
“Why do people feel pain when they are separated?”

"Because life is painful, but that person's existence is like a painkiller."

Bai Shi stood up and stretched his body.

I slept very soundly last night without any nightmares.

It's just a tiny bit of phantom pain, nothing to worry about.

The break is over, and it's time to move on.
-
Bai Shi cleaned his body with water. He had sweated a lot when he had a nightmare last night, and it was a bit uncomfortable to have the sweat sticking to his body.

As water was poured on his body one bucket at a time, Bai Shi's spirit became more perked up.

The water resources in Moren City are still very abundant, so Bai Shi has to take a bath every one or two days.

To be fair, the basic living conditions in the border area are quite good.

Bathing, toilets, clothing, food, all aspects are pretty good.

Although only a small number of residents farmed, few studied crops, and there were only things like potatoes and strange plants for making bread.

But in fact, most residents can make a living by hunting alone.

After all, too many people died in the Shattered War, resulting in the current population not being able to keep up with the natural resources.

It’s just that the life safety conditions are not very guaranteed.

Bai Shi looked at the muscles in his body. They seemed to have become stronger since he had added some energy last time.

Will I become a super muscular man like Ge Fulei after I get the maximum points?
Rather than simply building up muscles, Bai Shi actually hopes to change his body shape.

There are many large enemies at the border.

Although not like in the game, even the minions are taller than the Fader.

But when facing a large enemy, it is somewhat uncomfortable, and fighting is like giving a pedicure.

I don’t know what use the Great Rune will be when I get it in the future, and whether I will be able to gain a physical increase like the demigods.

But if my size increases, what will I do when I use magic in the future?
Although a macho magician like Starshatter Ratan is not impossible.

However, if conditions permit, Bai Shi still wants to cosplay as a serious wizard.

Forget it, I don’t want to think about it anymore. I haven’t even seen the shadow of Big Rune.

The higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment.

Bai Shi put on his clothes and walked out of the bathroom.

There is still one day left before going to the Round Table to pick up the repaired equipment.

There is still a lot to do on this day.

For example, learning Ice Storm from Elissa.

Or maybe, go find Edgar.

After all, Greg, whom they were about to kill, was Edgar's immediate superior.

Bai Shi felt that Edgar should have known about this a long time ago, but for such things it is better to inform him in person.

When Bai Shi knocked on Edgar's door, Edgar was still bent over the desk dealing with various matters in Moren City.

With more manpower in Moren City, the construction speed is much faster, but various other problems also follow.

Edgar looked up at Bai Shi, a little surprised. Bai Shi usually would not take the initiative to bother him unless there was something big.

"Oh? You're here. What's going on?"

Bai Shi nodded.

"After we retrieve the repaired armor tomorrow, we will go to Stonewell to defeat Greg."

"I want to ask you first, what do you think?"

　"First-Class Affair", start!
