Golden Darkness's Own Opinion

"Yes, we need the wisdom of the second Miss Merlot." The prince sighed, "It's not that we underestimate ourselves, the reasoning ability of Sherlock Holmes is really terrible, it can almost be called foreknowledge, prophecy Degree."

The golden darkness, who originally showed no interest in this, suddenly raised his lowered eyelids.

"If there is no wise man who can balance and resist to join our side, Yiu will undoubtedly take the lead under the leadership of Sherlock. To fight against Sherlock, the whole of England, no, it should be said that the whole world, I can The only candidate that comes to mind is Miss Mellowett."

"Therefore, Miss Merlot Holmes, I, the Prince of Wales, here and now, on behalf of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, formally invite you to join our army and assist our army in combat."

"She can't."

Before Mellie could react, the blond girl interrupted the Prince of Wales with a cold tone.

"...Why did you say that, Miss [Medusa]?"

"Mellette Holmes has always only 'claimed' to have inherited the mind of Sherlock Holmes. You and I have seen Sherlock's methods, and it is not clear how much energy that man has. In this world, there is no one who can compete with him. against humanity."

"Don't involve innocent civilians. The competition in war is not about individual ability, but overall resources and heritage. If you want to defeat Yiou, use national power and luck to fight, don't think about using her power to fight here alone in World War III."

"She is a British citizen, and every British citizen has the obligation to do their part to defend the country's safety." The tone of the Prince of Wales suddenly cooled down.

"Yes, she is a British citizen, not your weapon."

The golden darkness tapped the table with her knuckles indifferently, and with the sound of thumping, the entire living room was brought into her chilling aura.

"Even you can think of borrowing the power of Mellie Holmes, so why didn't Sherlock Holmes think of it? Once she agrees to your request, she probably has to face the killing intent from Yiu? Can you do it?" Share enough military power to ensure her safety under the assassination of YioU superpowers?"

Assassination of important officials, whether in human history or in her original time and space, is the most common method in war.

"She is your citizen, not your soldier, not your tool. It is you who need to do your best to protect her life, rather than her sacrificing her own safety to maintain your survival. If a country falls to the point where it needs more In the name of patriotism, civilians are forced to sacrifice to maintain sovereignty, so a country like this..."

The Golden Darkness stood up from his seat, and looked down at His Excellency the Prince condescendingly, his blood-colored eyes throbbing with murderous intent aimed at whom.

"It's better to just destroy it."

Shadow of the End, Volume 137: Chapter 38 Chapter [-] Night Talk

"Did something like this happen while we were away?"

After listening to the eldest daughter's report, Holmes' contemporary Patriarch lightly stroked the beard on his chin, lowered his head and thought for a moment, then turned his eyes to the silent second daughter.

"Meilu, what do you think? Feel free to say it. You are the person involved. As long as you don't want to, even the royal family doesn't have the right to force you to join the army."

"...My lord father, I don't know."

Mellie glanced at the golden darkness behind Aria in some confusion, her tone was not only respectful and polite as usual, but more at a loss.Aside from the identity of the heir of [Holmes IV] and the shrewd mind praised as the reincarnation of Sherlock, she is just a child who is not yet 14 years old.

That short meeting ended in discord.

This is actually quite normal. Even if the Prince of Wales can allow his righteous subjects to criticize face to face, he is not yet generous, or thick-skinned enough to stalk others with a shy face after rejecting them. He is also a crown prince, and the dignity of the royal family is not so cheap.

——"It is true that I did not consider the wishes of Ms. Mellowet herself. I was abrupt, but I still stick to my original opinion. I hope that Ms. Mellowett can accept my invitation to assist our army in combat. Although this is a bit forced However, as a citizen of Britain, while enjoying the protection of the country, it is reasonable to dedicate one's strength to defending the motherland. To borrow an old saying from that distant eastern country, "How can there be eggs under the collapse of the nest?" , I don’t want to wait until Yiou’s army is approaching the city before rushing to entrust this rotten mess to you, and I hope you will consider it carefully.”

The words His Excellency the Prince said before leaving echoed in Meloette's mind, mixed with the cold scolding from Golden Darkness earlier, and the caring greetings from his lord father. With an accent, Mellie shook her head, and patted her cheek as if trying to cheer herself up.

"Father, I..."

"Don't worry, important decisions should be made when your sanity is clearest, and you are already tired now." The head of the family glanced out the window, and there were vague noises and commotions boiling under the dark night, "It has arrived Is this the hour? Aria, take them upstairs to rest, if it's early, you can probably sleep for 4 or 5 hours."

"Yes, father."

"Remember to close the door tightly, there may be some noise in the clan tonight."

"...Is it a clan meeting?"

During this period of time, the elders of the Holmes family returned to the residence one after another, and held meetings within the family under the auspices of several speakers, but none of this had anything to do with these girls: As the heirs of Aria and Mellie, they are indeed qualified to attend this level of clan meeting, but the girls who have their own concerns really don't have the heart to participate in this meeting where they don't have much say.

Furthermore, the elders in the clan may not support their participation in clan affairs so early.

"Kids should go to bed obediently, night is the time for adults."

As the head of the patriarch, the father, half dissuading and half ordering, drove the underage girls upstairs to the bedroom. Naturally, the 17-year-old Aria and the 14-year-old Mellie had nothing to say. On the contrary, the golden darkness really wanted to show this arrogant earthling her 24 years of long experience in the Kronos galaxy.

Have you ever traveled dangerously between the most distant planets, have you ever witnessed the birth of a black sun, have you ever witnessed the scene where a white dwarf star that is dying of life evolves into a dense black hole?Confined to a remote galaxy far away from the center of the Milky Way, dwelling on a small planet, you are still too young, sometimes naive.

The lips of the golden darkness squirmed slightly, but before she opened her mouth to speak, she became a little surprised by her previous unceremonious remarks The girl, who didn't want to have any more troubles, grabbed the killer's hand, turned her back to her father's teasing eyes, and forced her upstairs before she could speak.

"Then, good night, sister~"

With the help of others, the handicapped Mellie arrived at the door of her bedroom, obeying her father's order and temporarily forgetting all her troubles. With a strange smile, he glanced at the unknown golden darkness and Aria, whose face was slightly red for some reason, and turned around and entered the bedroom without waiting for the two to reply.

"Have a good night~"

"... An, you don't have the habit of sleeping in other people's rooms in a daze, do you?"

"No, never." Golden Darkness was a little confused about what Lei Ji's question was based on. "I've never had that condition known as 'sleepwalking.'"

It should be said that she has never even had sleep. For a killer without sleep, everything related to "dreams" can be regarded as a luxury.

"That's good."

"What's that good? Even if she does come into my bedroom in the middle of the night, I will chase her away, but I am already exhausted. Regardless of you, I have to get up early tomorrow, and I will go to bed first."

Aria's tone was slightly heavy and rude, as if someone who was extremely sleepy but couldn't get any rest pushed open the door of his own bedroom impatiently and unhappily, and sent everyone else out without saying good night. Throw it out the door.

"...Then, good night, Darkness."

"OK, good night."

Watching Lei Ji enter his bedroom, Golden Darkness turned around and looked at the last girl who hadn't made any moves yet.

"So what about you, Moriko."

This descendant from a famous French family seems to be in a state of entanglement. It was not obvious when everyone was present, but now it is only the two of them. Her conflict is directly expressed on her face. The girl's eyelids are raised from time to time. It hangs down again, even with the level of the golden darkness, one can see her hesitation at the moment.

"Is there anything you want to say to me?"

"Riko—"

Mine Lizi opened her mouth, only to spit out one of her usual self-proclaims, but swallowed the rest of the words in her throat. After the girl hesitated to speak for a while, she finally sighed full of self-loathing.

"I'm sorry, Riko is not as selfless as I thought."

"It's okay, that's a normal human." Shaking his head lightly, the golden dark said calmly, "If there's nothing else, then I'll go to rest."

"……OK, good night."

The Shadow of the End, Volume 138: Chapter 39 Chapter [-] Night Talk ([-])

Late at night.

Undoubtedly, many, many things have been experienced tonight. For many ordinary residents in London, perhaps the major events they have seen in their life are not as many as those in the short few hours tonight. Ordinary people enjoying the quiet and deep night are no longer peaceful. As for the city outside, the city that never sleeps is still brightly lit and noisy as before, but under the colorful neon lights, there is a little more fear and panic that was not there before. .

Few people are destined to be able to sleep peacefully tonight.

In Sherlock Holmes's main house, the voices of old and vicissitudes or full of spirit are intertwined. These elders who manage the affairs of the family are arguing endlessly in the conference hall on the first floor about the changes that happened tonight without any scruples. The juniors who are resting upstairs lowered the volume by half a minute.Fortunately, the sound insulation effect between the door and the wall in this house is quite good, and most of the noise is blocked out. If it is only the sound that comes through the crack of the door, it will not make people unable to sleep.

In a bedroom on the second floor, the door that was supposed to be locked suddenly trembled, and then accompanied by a ray of light pouring in and a loud noise that suddenly became louder, a figure quietly walked through the crack of the door like a kitten. Zhong walked in sideways, and then closed the door without a sound, and all the light and sound quickly slipped away from this bedroom and disappeared without a trace.

The uninvited guest tiptoed forward in the dark, and slowly approached the owner according to the memory of the layout of the place during the day.

He kept his eyes wide open, and with the light that leaked in through the crack of the door, the visitor vaguely glimpsed the general outline of the owner's bed, and the slightly raised ball must be the girl lying on it.

"I—"

"Aria?"

There was a creaking sound from the bed. It should be that the girl on it turned her body sideways. The golden darkness turned her head to the sneaky visitor in the middle of the night. When she heard her voice suddenly, Yali, whose identity was revealed by a single word, Ya screamed, subconsciously took two steps back.In a panic, she didn't know what she stepped on, and the girl who tripped over a bump on the ground immediately lost her balance and fell backwards.

"...recklessly."

The expected pain did not come.The golden darkness stretched out a hair band around Aria's waist, and the killer, who was still dressed in black uniform, half-propped himself up from the bed, and pulled Aria, who looked a bit dazed, to him with a little helplessness. around.

"Why did you come here?"

"...E, Eve, you haven't slept yet."

"I don't have such a luxury as sleep." Golden Darkness shook his head, not wanting to say anything more on this topic, "Aria, what do you want?"

"This, this, that, I want to—ah, that's right! I want to have a [Girl Talk]!"

"... [Girl Talk]?"

"En! That's right, that's right!" Aria's little head moved up and down, exaggeratedly, as if she was afraid that the golden darkness would not be able to see her movements clearly in the darkness, "Life consultation!"

"Consulting..." Golden Darkness sighed softly, and moved his body little by little, making room for Aria enough for a petite girl to lie down, "Come on."

"Ok!"

Hearing her permission, the apprehension on Aria's face immediately turned into joy. She threw the pillow in her arms to the head of the bed, kicked her feet and casually threw the little slippers on the floor. The girl happily lay beside the golden darkness.

"...you're crushing my hand."

"Ah, I'm sorry."

"Forget it, it doesn't matter."

With some discomfort, he withdrew his palm from under Aria's thigh, shrunk his body to the corner of the wall again, and the golden darkness turned his head, looking at the close at hand, full of tension and anticipation. delicate face.

"So, what do you want to ask?"

"The last time we slept together like this, it seems like a long time ago?"

"It's not that long, it was about half a year ago." Tilting his head and thinking for a while, Golden Darkness answered the girl's question very seriously, "It should be the fourth time we met, it was also in this city, In your Butei dormitory."

"Thinking about it now, it's really unbelievable. Even though we've only met four times, obviously the first few times we met were so unpleasant, obviously it was a hostile position, why did I trust a strange person who I didn't know so well at that time... "

"I don't know. You know, I've always had a hard time with human psychology, so I can't help you with that."

"Ah! Really, there is no atmosphere at all!"

My own warm memories can only get a serious and cold reply from the other party. Aria is half resentful and half annoyed, pointing the forehead of the golden darkness, and cursing with a bit of hatred.

"Can't you give me a little response, you wood?"

"...Any other questions?"

"...Okay, okay, then I will ask."

Knowing what kind of virtue her lover is, Aria rolled her eyes secretly, and then calmed down other redundant emotions.The girl took a deep breath, and threw the topic of tonight towards her lover who was only a few centimeters away.

"What do you think of my sister, Meluette?"

"……what?"

"I know, I know, you must think she is more feminine than me, right?"

Before the golden darkness could react, Aria kept comparing her own shortcomings with Mellie's as if she was giving up on herself.

"People say that the second lady of the Holmes family is a real noble daughter, well-dressed and polite, not rude and reckless like me; she is smart and shrewd, unlike me who can't even do the most basic reasoning I see; she is petite and cute, and even her weak body can easily arouse other people's desire to protect, but I am just a reckless girl with a twisted personality who is too strong to die. You must think so, right?"

"……I don't know."

"Okay, okay, then I'll ask a little more clearly."

"Obviously you were so indifferent to me at the beginning, and you who obviously don't care about everything in this world, why did you take the initiative to protect her?"

"I remember Feng Lizi mentioned to me that your current behavior seems to be...'jealous'?"

"certainly not!"

Aria immediately blew up.

"I, I'm just asking! I'm not jealous!"

"Okay." Frowning and suppressing Aria's dancing limbs, the golden darkness who knew that she could no longer be stimulated worked hard to arrange her own words, "Didn't you ask me why I defended her?" ?”

"Because she's your sister, just that, just because she's your family."

No matter how long and sinister it is, the night will always pass, and the residents of London who are terrified, tossing and turning but still unable to sleep finally see the dawn they long for, and the colorful lights flowing in the neon tubes are slowly extinguished.

In the conference hall of Holmes's main house, the Holmes who stayed up all night seized the tranquility of this moment, and stole a short nap with their own habits and methods.
