"——"
Mono...
The joy on Six's small face remained. Without even bothering to wipe the glistening water from her lips, she hurriedly explained in a low voice,
"Mono... we're at the station. Don't worry... it's safe here..."
Hearing this, Mono relaxed.
As for the Station, it's relatively hidden, so there shouldn't be any danger.
Of course, Mono couldn't be blamed for being so cautious. Because before passing through that Gate of Light, everything was still an unknown.
After all, Mono was gone, which meant this world needed a new Mono.
Just as he was thinking,
"Mono... how are you feeling now..."
"Is there anywhere else that feels uncomfortable..."
Six's voice came again; after the initial surprise on her face, a worried expression appeared once more.
Like a young girl, she was unexpectedly gentle.
This was truly surprising; after all, Six rarely showed such a girlish side.
But when Mono snapped back to his senses and heard her words, his expression gradually... turned cold.
"Little Six, I'm saying, you're really something." Mono's tone was somewhat unfriendly. He had processed everything now, and it made him very unhappy at this moment.
"Wha—" Little Six felt a bit uneasy under Mono's gaze. She didn't know why he was suddenly angry. She took his hand and asked anxiously, "What... happened..."
What happened?
Mono ground his teeth.
She actually forgot again?
Dammit!
"Hmph!" He jerked his hand away. "I don't want to say much. Go reflect on yourself. Once you understand, then come talk to me."
After saying that, Mono closed his eyes.
It was so infuriating!
He still remembered how she had flung his hand away and run off.
And at the thought of being heartlessly "left behind," he felt enraged.
This was truly hard for him to let go of, and hard to forgive.
Little Six looked at his angry appearance uneasily, feeling at a loss, her small hands having nowhere to go.
She panicked!
Mono seemed very angry.
Was he angry at her?
Why?
Very quickly, she realized why.
It was because...
Mono... was he angry because of what she had done before...? Recalling this, she gradually fell silent.
Her uneasy small hands also slowly and weakly dropped down. It was her...
It was only right...
It was her fault that Mono had ended up in this state.
Mono should be angry...
Even...
If it weren't for her, he wouldn't have been in danger. He wouldn't have nearly died...
Was she a... calamity?
Although Mono had closed his eyes, he was still paying attention to the movements of the person beside him. Seeing that it had gone silent, he couldn't help but open his eyes slightly to take a peek.
He saw that the small head beside him had lowered again, her face replaced by a sorrowful expression. She looked...
Deserved it!
Who told this unlucky girl to treat him like that?
She had actually run off alone to lure away that Terrifying Shadow that had always harbored Hatred toward her, just so she wouldn't involve him.
Was she not afraid of death?
Why did she always do such stupid things?
And it was also looking down on him.
Doing that was a complete insult to him.
Therefore, it was unforgivable.
Mono silently closed his eyes again.
He swore that this time, he absolutely would not forgive Six again.
Little Six didn't say a word the whole time. Only after a long silence did she look up at Mono.
It was only right for Mono to be angry; she was a... calamity.
If it weren't for her, everything wouldn't be so difficult.
With Mono's intelligence and the powerful abilities he displayed, it would be impossible for him to be in danger.
So...
*Rustle, rustle, rustle?*
Hearing movement by his ear again, Mono couldn't help but open his eyes slightly.
He saw the girl, Six, slowly standing up and walking toward the door with measured steps, having no intention of stopping.
One of her hands was already on the doorknob.
It looked like she was leaving?
"Hey, where are you going?" Mono quickly opened his eyes and called out with effort. His current state wasn't good; he was still very weak.
Six, who had reached the door, still kept her head down, her face buried in the shadow of her hat's brim, making her expression unreadable.
After a long pause, she whispered, "Mono... I'm sorry..."
With those words, there was a click, and the door opened.
Mono was stunned for a moment, then he reacted.
"Stop right there—" he couldn't help but shout with effort again. He was truly about to explode with anger.
He was in a half-dead state, and this girl wanted to leave? She wanted to leave him here to die? How heartless.
It was simply cold-hearted...
Little Six's figure paused.
She turned slightly, and after a moment of silence, she said quietly:
"Mono must really hate Little Six. If... if it weren't for Little Six, Mono wouldn't have been injured, so..."
Her words were filled with immense disappointment.
Mono interrupted her, saying, "idiot, what kind of nonsense are you talking about again? Are you trying to anger me to death? Which of your eyes saw that I hate you!"
!!
"Isn't it? Mono... is clearly very... angry..."
Mono was choked up for a moment, then replied, "Those are two different things. Being angry doesn't mean I hate you."
...
His pale face turned red from anger.
Why hadn't he noticed before that Six was so mentally unstable?
Was this hate? It was pure resentment!
Yes, he wished he could just get up and give this Stinky Girl a good beating right now, so she would understand what a temper was.
"Mono..." Little Six looked up again, her dark eyes filled with unease. "Do you really not hate... Little Six?"
"I can only... I can't help you with anything anymore..."
"I only drag you down..."
"I'm completely useless..."
Mono's mouth twitched.
So you do know you drag me down; that's quite some self-awareness. He complained weakly in his heart.
"Enough, enough! Stinky Girl, you're so talkative. Why didn't I notice you spoke so much before? It's annoying!" Mono waved his hand, interrupting her again. "Besides, when did I ever say you were useless... Hmph, how nonsensical!"
Little Six still looked at him uneasily.
Mono curled his lip and sighed helplessly in his heart...
Consider it his bad luck to have met Six.
He could only "reluctantly" explain slowly, "If it weren't for you, I would have long ago..."
...died halfway."
"Like that bridge, I couldn't have jumped across without you then. And that time in the Hospital, without you... I wouldn't have been able to escape. And..."
Although he wasn't very willing to admit it, this was indeed an indisputable fact.
If it weren't for Six helping him a lot earlier on, he wouldn't have his current abilities at all.
Even more so, if it weren't for her, he wouldn't have been able to reach 100% Focus when fighting Mono.
So, how could anyone say Six was useless?
"Mono... do you really think so?" Hope rose in Little Six's eyes once more, but she was still somewhat apprehensive.
"Yes, yes, yes! Are we done? Close the door! Get back here!" Mono said.
Six hesitated for a moment before finally closing the door again. She then walked back and sat on the edge of the bed once more.
However, what greeted her was a flick to the forehead.
"Ah~" Six instantly clutched her head, looking at Mono with confusion and a sense of grievance.
"What are you looking at? If there's a next time, it won't be that simple."
Although he acknowledged Six's usefulness, Mono indicated he was still very angry.
Because she had caused his blood pressure to spike several times over, completely disregarding whether he, a patient, could handle it.
This girl was nothing but a liability.
Giving her a little "knock" was not excessive at all!
