"I liked sweets too much when I was a child. My parents were worried that I would get too fat, so they sent me to this country to learn swordsmanship under Black Iron Ryoma."
"...Then how did you become so strong?"
Jiang Li looked at her in disbelief.
"I don't know either. I just naturally became stronger. Naturally, I broke through the demon again."
Edwards said this very seriously.
So much so that Jiang Li couldn't doubt whether what she said was true or false.
"Maybe, this is talent."
She let out a long sigh and looked worried.
"Compared to people like you who have a clear will to become stronger, I only have talent and no corresponding will at all. Sometimes, I really feel that I can't compare with you."
So extraordinary!
You really can’t tell from your appearance, I love you so much!
No one with weak willpower can break through the demon.
Edwys's ability to break through the demon means that her own will is not bad, but she just doesn't have the obsession to become stronger.
So where does her will come from?
To lose weight?
Ha ha ha ha!
No wonder the desserts are so delicious!
It turns out that you really spend more time making desserts than practicing swordsmanship!
"I can understand your pain. After all, I am the one who surpassed you in just a few months. My talent is too high!"
Jiang Li sighed.
The words that came out of his mouth left Edwards speechless for a moment.
As we chatted, this person chatted to death!
…………
night.
The first quarter moon hung in the night, and the cicada's loud cry came from the cool night wind.
"Store manager, thank you for taking care of me these days."
Edwines thanked the store manager.
"It's okay, it's okay, you also brought a lot of customers to our store!"
The store manager smiled happily, and she came over mischievously.
"You must hurry up with such a good boyfriend. That guy is very popular now. If you don't hurry up, he will be seduced by a vixen one day!"
"Store manager, he is really not my boyfriend."
Edwin's face turned red.
She and Jiang Li had only met a few times at best, and the age difference was too big.
"Then you need to be more careful! Don't be like me and get poached just because you can't save a little face!"
The store manager had an expression that made her teeth itch with hatred, and she seemed to be a person with a story.
"Okay, don't keep people waiting, go quickly!"
Edwards nodded helplessly.
It’s really not a question of whether to wipe it or not to save face.
Carrying a small bag, Edwards walked out of the coffee shop.
Jiang Li was waiting for her at the door.
"Come on, I think you two are a perfect match!"
The store manager rushed up and shouted, then slipped into the back kitchen like flying.
"Don't take it too seriously, the store manager is a bit crazy."
Edwards looked slightly embarrassed.
This was the first time Jiang Li had seen her expression like this, and it was quite interesting.
"Oops, I forgot to take a photo!"
His eyes fell on Edwys, and he suddenly slapped his forehead, and couldn't help but feel sad.
"Taking pictures? What to take?"
Edwys looked at him curiously.
"nothing."
Jiang Li shook his head.
Just looking at her eyes was still full of regret.
"I'm not going to sleep well tonight!"
Edwards tilted his head, his silver hair hanging down like tassels.
Following Jiang Li's line of sight, she looked at herself.
The maid uniform she wore at work had been taken off, and she had changed back into her ordinary casual clothes.
She understood immediately.
"let's go."
She pursed her lips slightly and her eyes flickered.
The two left the coffee shop and walked forward, following the shadow of the street lamp.
Ahead is a dark road hidden in neon lights.
There was a faint light flickering in the darkness.
The two walked side by side.
No pedestrians on the road came to disturb me. Although I was deep in the bustling city, I felt isolated from the world, as quiet as eternal night.
It seems like this moment lasts forever.
Do you want to keep going like this?
Edwards thought in his heart.
In her mind, the road in front of her was not just neon and concrete, but also a symbol of the future and the future.
It had been a long time coming for her to have two people walking together like this.
Since becoming the strongest in the world, she has gained fame, status and endless honors, but in exchange, she has received countless alienations. In order not to be implicated by her, the country took the initiative to abandon the territory around her, even though she wanted to kill people.
After thinking about it for a long time, people slandered her as the most vicious criminal in the world.
In order to have a place to live, she had no choice but to join (rebellion).
But it's just as a guest, and I never do anything out of the ordinary.
Of course, she has no regrets. This is the inevitable result of protecting the country.
"You are a good person."
Jiang Li's previous words came to mind again.
Those words made her feel warm when she thought about them.
What would happen if I walked alone now?
If the person next to you is gone.
I have to walk alone again.
Walking on this night road.
There is only darkness next to me, and all the noise, laughter, love, and friendship have nothing to do with me, and no one can understand me.
For some reason, a feeling of loneliness suddenly emerged in my heart.
When all her acquaintances die, who can she share this loneliness with?
Although the world is big, there is no place for me.
"What are you thinking about, so lost in thought?"
The voice sounded suddenly, waking her up.
Jiang Li looked at her strangely. She actually thought about things and was lost in thought. This was not like the style of the strongest swordsman in the world.
"nothing."
Edwys was stunned for a moment, then shook his head mockingly.
What's wrong with me?
The past ten years have been the same, so why are you suddenly feeling sentimental today?
Is it because of your age?
Edwards thought to himself.
"If you have anything, you might as well tell me. Didn't I tell you that I owe you a favor? Let me pay it back at any time."
Jiang Li didn't force her.
She didn't seem to want to say more.
"Um……"
Edwards suddenly understood.
Why do I suddenly think so much today?
Because there are other people around me.
Jiang Li's existence made her see the possibility of walking together. The existence of someone who could share the joys and sorrows and understand her made her heart, which had long been accustomed to loneliness, shaken.
Even she had to admit that Jiang Li was a perfect match for her.
Because of this perfect match, she lost her direction.
"You must hurry up and don't lose face..."
What the shopkeeper just said came to mind.
"actually--"
She suddenly spoke up, wanting to say something.
But just then.
A dark figure appeared in front of the two people.
There was no warning, it was like moving instantly.
At this moment, Jiang Li and Edwys' expressions became tense.
The man who appeared in front of the two of them was wearing a straight black windbreaker. Even in the middle of the night, he had no intention of taking off the sunglasses on his face.
