"Really, I told you that there won't be any good movies to watch this season, but you actually doubt me, who has watched hundreds of movies." The girl was wearing a fluffy white windbreaker, a scarf hanging in front of her face, and her long hair hanging loosely behind her back.

Carrying a bag, I stayed with a man on a busy street.

She had walked this road with him countless times since she was very young.

At that time, the two people who went to school and left school together carrying schoolbags have now gone through everything that a man and a woman should go through, and it is finally time to enter the palace.

"Is it a great achievement to have watched a hundred movies? I can't watch less than a hundred movies." With his hands in his pockets, the man squinted his eyes, although the falling snow was crushed on the ground, making the street a little moist.

It was slipping, but what he was more concerned about was the safety of the girl next to him.

"Now here is an important piece of news. This afternoon, countries around the world unanimously decided to form an Earth Defense Organization and begin to recruit elites from all over the earth who are willing to fight on the front line to fight against gigantic monsters."

"The Earth Defense Force's first battle has now begun. Please listen to our reporter report on the outcome."

Walking past a roadside stall selling oden at the corner, listening to the news broadcast on the radio, both men and women's bodies stiffened for a moment.

"It's no wonder there are no good movies to watch. After all, reality is already so magical." After a moment of silence, the girl said this, then turned her head and focused on her future partner: "Yuanquan, what do you want?

Going to fight?"

"Why should I go? He already said he would recruit elite warriors. Do I look like an elite?" Pointing to himself exaggeratedly, Yuanquan raised his hand, grabbed the girl's hand, and carefully protected it in his palm.

: "Just leave things like fighting to those who are better at fighting. What I want to do most right now is to be with you..."

He leaned into the girl's ear and whispered something. Although he was a little shy, he had to say such words.

Because this is what he has wanted to do since he was a child.

Spend the rest of your life with the girl in front of you, live with her, grow old with her, and go through the subsequent journey of life together.

These are his only dreams, and all his dreams are tied to this one person.

"I don't want to go on with you." The girl named Xiao Hui blushed and shyly ran forward a few steps, widening the distance between them.

Under the light of the street lamps and in the blur of the falling snow, the girl's body seemed to be glowing, as if she was about to leave this world.

"I don't want to be with you. Ever since I was a kid, you've always been by my side. I'm tired of looking at you!"

"What are you talking about! Haven't I seen your face since you were little?" Yuanquan muttered with dissatisfaction.

"Then have you seen enough?" Xiao Hui asked.

"I can't see enough. I will keep watching for the next one, five, ten, or one hundred years! I swear to the lights!" Yuanquan stretched out his hand to the sky: "I swear to the street lights!"

"What? Swearing on a lamp is not pious at all!" The girl was also amused by Yuanquan's antics.

"If you are not pious, there is no point in swearing. It might backfire and you won't succeed."

...

Even as the world changes, life continues.

Bad news for humans comes one after another, and the victory for monsters is deafening.

Only now do people realize that the most despised daily life is actually the most luxurious thing in life.

"There's no point in praying to God or Buddha at this time." He held the girl's hand and came to the shrine to make a wish, but Yuanquan still had a somewhat reluctant look on his face.

"I want to ask for a peace charm for Brother Gumen. I hope he can come down from the battlefield well and come to our wedding." He Yuanquan explained, and the girl took out her hand, clasped her hands together, and said silently.

Praying.

"Lord God, please bless Brother Gumen to come back safely, intact, without any wounds." With her eyes closed tightly, the girl didn't even dare to face the great god she worshiped, she just kept thinking.

, expressed the wish in his heart.

"I will definitely come back to fulfill my wish."

"must!"

Looking at Xiao Hui who was praying silently over there, I clasped my nails out of boredom and came to another place, which was... the place where I asked for autographs.

"Come and ask for a lottery. As long as you silently think about what you want to ask for in the bottom of your heart, you will definitely get an answer." The witch offered the lottery box with a smile. It was obvious that she was already familiar with the process.

Yuanquan curled his lips, took out the coins from his pocket and handed them to the miko's hand. When the latter smiled even more, she took the lottery box.

"Brother, I have Xiaohui to bless you, so you don't need my blessing. Then I will..." Thinking about the things that are and are not, Yuanquan secretly glanced at the back of Xiaohui who was still making a wish, and chuckled a few times.

, also closed his eyes and shook the lottery box.

He knew what he wanted from the bottom of his heart.

The sound of banging and banging sounded in my ears, and the sound of bamboo sticks clashing was endless.

Some people believe in praying to God and worshiping Buddha, while others naturally don’t.

With the fall of a bamboo stick, which also means that this time the lottery has come to fruition, Yuanquan opened his eyes, handed the lottery box to the witch, and bent down to pick up his lottery.

At this first glance, his smiling face turned gloomy.

Because this sign is very unlucky.

Next.

"What are you doing?" Xiao Hui suddenly poked her head out from behind Yuanquan, her eyes full of curiosity.

Her sudden appearance startled Yuanquan.

He hurriedly tried to hide the sign in his hand, but Xiao Hui seized the opportunity and snatched it away.

"Give it back to me quickly!"

"You don't want it! You keep saying that you don't believe in these things, why do you still ask for a signature~" Xiao Hui chuckled: "Let me see what you are asking for!"

When Xiao Hui saw the lottery, she couldn't help it anymore.

"Hahaha! Your luck is still as bad as ever!"

"I don't even believe in these things, so I'll just do it! I can't get used to him!" Yuanquan got angry and crossed his arms, pretending to be arrogant: "Just because I don't believe it, it has nothing to do with me."

"Then why are you asking for the lottery?" Putting the lottery in her arms, the girl smiled sweetly and looked at the man with her bright eyes, with love and ridicule.

But no matter what, there was only his reflection in the girl's eyes.

"I...it's not important anyway. I don't believe this. I won't say it anymore." He opened his mouth and was too embarrassed to say what he was thinking. The boy who turned his head away wanted to use his attitude to muddle through.

It's a pity that the girl has already understood everything.

She did not ask further questions, but carefully protected the sign, held it in her arms, held the boy's hand, and walked to the place in the shrine where the largest number of people gathered.

"This should be the last event tonight." Looking at the wishing tree with countless wishes floating around and tied with red ropes, Yuanquan murmured: "How many people have come here to ask for peace of mind."

"Well, aren't we the same?" As she said that, Xiao Hui took out her red rope and handed the other end to Yuanquan.

"If you hang up the red string, what will you wish for?"

"Of course I hope that certain annoying person will stop pestering me!"

"???"

"Hehe, I'm just kidding." She leaned close to Yuanquan's face and kissed her. The girl's face turned red: "Is that okay now?"

"Humph, this is just interest, I will get it all back later with interest!"

"I'm going to die! There are so many people here!" Xiao Hui punched Yuanquan a few times in shame, although the soft fists had no lethality.

Hanging up the red rope that belonged to the two of them, and looking up at the red rope moving in the wind under the tree, Xiao Hui asked something.

"Yuan, what is your wish?"

"Of course I am..." He almost let it slip, but Yuanquan immediately took remedial measures. Facing the girl's expectant eyes, he immediately made an excuse for himself: "I hope for world peace!"

"Huh?" Xiaohui's face immediately fell: "You actually think about such profound things!"

"My brother is still fighting outside. If I wish for world peace, wouldn't he be able to come back soon?" As if this sentence was not enough, Yuanquan added: "And our wedding will be just waiting for him to come back.

It can be done."

Xiao Hui shrank her neck and understood what Yuanquan meant.

"That's right." After thinking about it, the girl clasped her hands together and bowed respectfully to the wishing tree: "Then I hope this world will be peaceful soon!"

The voices of the boy and the girl overlapped and floated into the distance with the wind. With these deep wishes, they traveled through the torii and through the clouds together with the thousands of red ropes.

Can these kinds of things be transmitted to the ears of gods?

And will they respond to ungrateful believers and devout believers?

Longing for beauty, hoping for daily life, the peace that is not cherished is gone and replaced by a countdown to destruction.

"Hope for world peace."

"Hope for world peace."

Along with the good wishes of the wish-making voice, there was also the huge black shadow rising horribly in the bustling city.

In the human world of the city that never sleeps, its shape is completely outlined under the heavy light.

"Roar!"

Shatter the glass, extinguish the lights, and plunge the city into eternal night.

The same person made a wish, and also came to this world in response to the wish. Although it is not the same person, its roar is still announcing the wish of the person who made the wish.
