Chapter 54: The Beginning of Life on a Deserted Island (3)
The night was already very deep. Sitting outside the cave, Ulysses looked at the countless soft silver stars in the sky, and his heart was at peace like never before. Recently, he had been in a state of exhaustion. As soon as he closed his eyes, scenes of the death fight with the big octopus on the Titan Poseidon would appear before his eyes. Only at this moment, looking at the eternal stars in the night sky, did he gradually forget the bloody scenes.
"Aya. Don't you think the night sky is beautiful like this!" As usual, Ulysses planned to summon Aya out to chat.
"..." The difference was that Aya, who liked to chat with Ulysses the most, did not appear next to Ulysses this time. Ulysses then remembered that Aya had entered a dormant state, and it was impossible to hear him. But because he was used to chatting with Aya when no one was around, he didn't remember it immediately.
Ulysses sighed. He only discovered now that the little devil with purple eyes had become an indispensable part of his life. Thinking that he would only be able to see her again in a month, Ulysses actually felt lonely.
"Waah! Waah! Waah!..." Suddenly, Ulysses heard the intermittent cry of the girl coming from the cave. There was unspeakable sadness and fear in the cry.
‘Who is it? Rasputin? No, judging from her usual performance, she is an extremely strong girl, it is impossible for her to cry like this. Helen? It's not right, she fell asleep very early, and she seemed very tired after she had just been born. So, the only one left is…'
"Cherie, are you crying?" Ulysses walked into the cave and asked quietly before coming to the girls' residential area.
"Big Brother, Cherie, Cherie is so scared!" Cherie's voice came from the girls' residential area.
"It's okay, come to me. Can you tell me why you are afraid?" Ulysses whispered, because of the three agreements that Rasputin made, he could not enter the girls' residential area casually. Moreover, it was midnight, and if he went in, it would cause a big misunderstanding.
"Okay, Big Brother." After a while, Cherie in her pajamas walked out of the girls' residential area. Her blue eyes were already covered with large drops of crystal clear tears, and coupled with her childish face full of fear, people could not help but want to protect her and comfort her.
"Okay, tell me why you are so sad?" Ulysses gently embraced Cherie's petite body and stroked her head with his right hand.
"Grandpa, grandpa butler is dead. I, I have always liked him very much, except for mom and dad at home, I like grandpa butler best. But he, he..." after being hugged by Ulysses, Cherie's cry was a little bit quieter, but she was still sad.
"Oh, don't worry. Your grandpa butler will be greeted by angels and enter heaven. And if he was still there, he definitely wouldn't want you to cry so sad for him." Ulysses hugged Cherie's body tightly, letting her feel the warmth of his body.
"Grandpa will be greeted by angels and enter heaven? Is this true?" Cherie asked Ulysses with joy.
"Of course. Have I ever lied to you?" Ulysses smiled.
"Mhm, then I won't cry anymore. Otherwise, grandpa in heaven will definitely be upset." Cherie wiped the tears from her eyes hard.
"Mhm, goog girl. Then you can go back to Rasputin and Helen and go to bed." Seeing Cherie stopped crying, Ulysses heaved a sigh of relief.
"But, but Cherie is still so scared. Cherie has never slept in such a dark cave. Big Brother, can you, can you..." Cherie looked at Ulysses's face, her face flushed suddenly, and began to speak intermittently.
"What is it? As long as I can do it, I will help you." Indeed, as a noble little princess, Cherie probably had never slept in a place like a cave. It was inevitable that she would be scared, and Ulysses couldn't help but feel pity for Cherie when he thought of this.
"Big Brother, can I sleep in your arms? And can you tell me fairy tales to coax me to sleep? Just like my mom did when I couldn't sleep," Cherie said. Her face was already red.
"Huh?" Ulysses was dazed. He didn't expect Cherie to ask for this.
"Big Brother, don't you agree? I'm sorry, Cherie made an excessive request. Cherie, Cherie will immediately return to Rasputin Sister and go to sleep there." Seeing Ulysses's hesitation, big drops of tears appeared in Cherie's eyes again.
"Uh. You've misunderstood it, I was just trying to think of a story. You can sleep in my arms." Ulysses reluctantly agreed to Cherie's request, hugged her small body, and returned to his temporary bed.
"Then, I'll tell you the story of the daughter of the sea. Long, long ago, in the blue sea..." Ulysses leaned his back against the wall of the cave and began to use a low voice to tell a fairy tale to Cherie.
‘Big Brother's arms are so warm and comfortable, I really want to lie in Big Brother's arms forever!' With this thought, Cherie was like a golden kitten, lying obediently in Ulysses's arms, listening to Ulysses' voice, and slowly falling asleep.
"In the end, the poor princess of Merpeople melted into foam and disappeared into the sea in the early morning." When Ulysses finished telling the story, Cherie had already fallen asleep.
"Daddy." At some point, Helen also walked out of the girls' residential area and came to Ulysses.
"Helen, what's the matter?" Ulysses looked at her suspiciously. He remembered that she seemed to have fallen asleep early.
Helen didn't say anything, but directly expressed her intentions with actions. She gently sat next to Ulysses, leaned her body tightly on Ulysses's body, hugged his body tightly with her hands, and closed her eyes.
‘It turns out that her intention is the same as Cherie. Forget it, one or two is almost the same. I am also very tired, I really need to sleep now.' Ulysses, who had been tired for a day, actually wanted to sleep long ago.
In this way, smelling the soft fragrance of the two girls and feeling their soft bodies, Ulysses also slowly fell asleep.
It was just like this, Ulysses and their deserted island life began.
