Love is a very current topic and a very classic subject. In the three-dimensional dimension, we often hear complaints about long-distance love, love long-distance running and so on. In fact, love in the second dimension is not necessarily particularly happy. It will even be more confusing and more tragic than the three-dimensional. Today, we will talk about a deep affection that cannot be touched.
In terms of the order of animation, the popularity of "Forest of Fire" is really inseparable from the amazing popularity of "Natsume's Friend's Account". The original author of both works is Yuki Midorikawa. But from a manga point of view, "Firefly Forest" can be said to be a test of "Natsume's Friend's Account". From the completion of the work, "Fire Forest" did not release water at all. Or the warm feeling we are familiar with, or the faint sadness of our sorrow. "Forest of Fire" is about a hopeless love between a man and a monster.
Xiao Ying is a girl with a bit of a big grin. When she was a child, every summer vacation, Xiaoying would go back to her grandfather's house in the countryside to play. When she was six years old, she mistakenly broke into the Forest of the Mountain Gods and got lost. Just when she was at a loss, a slender teenager with a fox mask appeared in front of her. Seeing someone appear, Xiao Ying immediately felt hope. However, the big brother who appeared in front of her was very strange, not only wearing a mask, but also not letting Xiao Ying touch it. Even in order to prevent physical contact, he also gave Xiao Ying a blow to the head. The teenager tells Xiaoying that his name is Silver, and reminds Xiaoying that this is a forest inhabited by gods and monsters. If you break in by mistake, you may be fascinated by the mind, so you will never be able to get out again.
Not only that, he also told Xiao Ying that he was not human at all. He was originally an abandoned baby, but he was pitied by the mountain god and was magically cast to survive in his current form. If touched by humans, he will disappear. Although all this sounds too unreal, Xiao Ying is really taken out of the forest by Silver. The two people also formed a fate. Xiao Ying, who walked out of the forest, did not heed Silver's warning and insisted that she would bring gifts back to thank Silver. Coming and going, the two became a pair of playmates. At first, Silver was like a big brother playing with Xiaoying. Curious Xiao Ying also took advantage of the silver break to secretly take off the silver mask and see the handsome face of the silver. Perhaps from this moment on, the purest admiration had sprouted in Xiao Ying's heart.
Soon after, however, the first helplessness came. Once, while playing in the forest, Xiaoying climbed onto a tree, but the branch suddenly broke. Seeing that Xiaoying was about to fall from the tree, Silver wanted to go up and catch him, but if he touched Xiaoying, Silver would disappear. Finally, when Xiao Ying was about to land, Yin still withdrew his hands and let Xiao Ying fall. Fortunately, there was a plant buffer underneath, and Xiaoying did not suffer major damage. In the process of Xiao Ying's fall, Silver's move Xiao Ying also looked in her eyes. Xiao Ying, who fell on the grass, fixed her mind, and she did not blame Silver for "seeing death and not saving". Instead, he forced a smile on his face and said to Silver, "But it's really good, Silver, no matter what happens, don't touch me. After saying that, Xiao Ying's tears couldn't stop falling. Silver was silent at the side, what kind of expression would he have under the mask? Is it remorse and self-blame? Or is it sad and unwilling?
However, the incident did not affect the relationship between the two people. As the days passed, Xiaoying grew up slowly, and she looked more like a girl. There were even suitors in school, but the older Ying became, the more she understood her heart for silver. It turned out that the long-term companionship had long since changed her feelings for Silver. She likes silver, the kind of love she loves. Xiao Ying said to Yin, "Silver, don't forget me, don't forget." There will be a time when we will be separated, but even so, until that day comes, we are all together. "
Xiaoying really fulfilled her promise, and after graduation, she chose to return to her grandfather's house to work. In this way, you can no longer suffer from the pain of missing a different place, and you can come to see Silver at any time if you want to meet. The sweet day seems to be about to begin, and Silver asks Xiaoying to attend the temple fair of the monster. Two people who could not hold hands were tied together with a long veil at the temple fair. Unlike past play, two people date decently for the first time. Unfortunately, it is too late to look forward to the future together. Silver mistakenly bumped into a human child. The mantra of the mountain god was fulfilled. Before Silver was about to disappear, he spread his arms and hugged Xiao Ying into his arms. After feeling the first and last trace of silver warmth, Xiao Ying held the yukata that Silver wore alone and cried bitterly.
Having seen many hopeless loves, this pair can be said to be the most distressing. Regardless of whether the silver disappears or not, Xiao Ying's love is very hard. How can a girl not crave the warmth of a hug when confronted with someone she likes. When a boy sees a girl he likes injured, how can he bear to stand by and watch. How pure and sweet the relationship between them is, it reflects how abusive this forbidden relationship really is. "Natsume's Friend's Account", which is accustomed to warm and healing, and "Forest of Fire", which is also cloaked in "healing", have to be said to slightly reflect the side of Midorikawa Yukishin.
How hard is love? For Xiao Ying, it is a hug that is only once in a lifetime, and for Yin, it is the initial and final courage that has been exhausted for more than ten years. I used to think that the tragedy of "The Forest of Fire" was like the singing of Jack and Ruth. Like fireworks withering in the most beautiful moment, so that it will always be a good memory in the mind. And Xiao Ying and Yin's desperate embrace is also destined to become a classic freeze frame in this gentle and cruel way.
