Chapter 554 The last encounter before the debut

"Can't it be fixed?"

"Sorry, we can't find out what the problem is with your terminal."

Although they really wanted to repair their terminals before leaving, the merchants in Infinite City were completely unable to find out what was wrong with the Death Moon's products.And this thing happened to have a problem with the civilian network connection function, so now Lauren can't connect to the network of Infinite City, and can't get in touch with people he knows.

He even began to suspect that Felicia had deliberately given him the problematic terminal from the beginning.

"Huh, what a hassle."

Although there will be no problem with identity authentication, if you cannot connect to the Internet, it will be difficult for you to exchange and use the currency that has been fully digitized in Infinite City. Basically, you will not have a penny.

If he had known this, he should have asked the young hero to buy some food for himself beforehand.

"I didn't expect it would be so miserable when I came back."

Sitting on the rest chairs that can be seen everywhere in the business district, Lauren took a deep breath.Although the general escape route has been found and there are no special problems in the plan, I am actually still a little sad.

After all, he was leaving completely this time.

"Why are you looking so sad again? Do you want to drink this?"

A surprisingly familiar voice sounded beside him. Lauren raised his head slightly, but what he saw was the girl's slender hand handing him a drink.

"...You discovered it so quickly."

Many of the thoughts that were originally held in his heart disappeared at this moment. In the end, Laurent just sighed and took the drink from the girl's hand very naturally, letting the other person sit very close to him.

"Of course, Mr. Laurent."

The purple-haired girl, who appeared to be about the same age as herself, leaned her body against Lauren's body very casually, as if she had long been accustomed to this posture.Although Lauren felt a little embarrassed, he did not actively refuse the girl's approach.

In the eyes of others, the two looked like a couple taking a break.

"Do you have anything to tell me? I will try my best to help you."

"Well, I have something to ask you now, Mr. Loren."

Effie always kept her face resting on Lauren's shoulder, not caring about other people's eyes at all.Laurent just drank the drink with a slightly stiff movement. Although he wanted to say something, he couldn't find any suitable words in his head.

"If you have nothing to do today, go on a date with me."

"...This is not a new way of tormenting people."

"Maybe."

For some reason, Lauren, who couldn't raise any objection at all, just nodded silently in the end. Although he didn't know how sincere Effie's words were, he had no reason to refuse.

He just felt that he was a little stupid for being timid and thinking too much about this kind of thing.

"Okay, Mr. Loren, if you don't object, let's set off."

Lauren took a deep breath and prepared herself mentally. However, Effie really seemed to intend to play couple with him, and she reached out and took his arm without any pretense.

The more this happened, the more Lauren felt uneasy.

"Although that's the case, I don't have the experience. Mr. Lauren, it's up to you to decide what to do."

"...Is it really good?"

Lauren tried to question it, but Effie didn't waver at all.She even completely put on a posture of "I won't object no matter where I take her", which really made Lauren feel a little itchy.

But Lauren didn't intend to do anything extraordinary at this time. He wanted to know what Effie planned to do when she found him.

"...Don't ask anything, Mr. Laurent."

"How convenient, mind reading."

Not knowing what kind of mood Effie was in when she found him, Lauren finally gave up the idea of ​​questioning.But this is also a suitable opportunity for him to say goodbye... If he doesn't say some things now, he may not have the chance in the future.

"I'll be leaving in a few days and probably won't come back this time."

Although Effie didn't speak, Lauren felt that the strength of her arms around him seemed to be stronger.

"I will try my best to attract the attention of the people in the heavenly world, and I will leave the rest to you."

"...Mr. Loren, I just want to tell you one thing."

The two of them didn't look at each other, and the girl seemed to be a little depressed.Lauren didn't dare to look at her face. He didn't know whether his choice was correct or whether it would hurt others.

But he really didn't know any better way.

"We didn't treat you as a disposable tool, and... I once did some pretty bad things to you, and that doesn't exist in your memory, but I..."

"I don't know about this kind of thing, and I don't want to ask, so don't take it to heart."

Is this what you call guilt?Lauren doesn't know what Effie has done, but all the things she has done for herself are probably not out of her heart.Even if it's just to atone for the unknowing self, Lauren doesn't want her to torture herself because of such a thing.

So Lauren stopped and withdrew his right hand, turned around and stood in front of Effie.

"Although I have some strange powers, after all, I am not someone worthy of your expectations. So I will only say these words once. If I really have no chance to come back, then..."

"Then we'll go find you."

Effie, who thought she would be furious, showed a sly smile instead. She reached out and touched Lauren's cheek, as gentle as a real lover.

"What's wrong? Do you think I will be angry? Mr. Laurent, you still underestimate yourself... Two legends have left their mark on you, and another legend may even follow you at any time regardless of everything. , to this extent, do you still feel that you are an ordinary person worth mentioning?"

"I'm just a little guilty. After all, if I weren't here, they wouldn't..."

"what about me?"

Lauren was silent. If he changed their fate because of his encounter with those people, then how should Effie, a girl who knew her past from the beginning, and even knew her abilities and secrets, judge them?
She said that she had done very bad things to herself, which might have something to do with them in her previous life... She didn't know her past life experiences, but Effie might remember everything.

So her purpose of contacting herself is actually...

"Go ahead and do what you want, but don't think about leaving us alone."

Effie reached out and grabbed Lauren by the collar, pulling his face in front of her.At this distance, Lauren could even directly feel the warm breath exhaled by the girl, which made the muscles on his face stiffen suddenly due to tension.

"Because I'm much harder to deal with than those legends."

　People are working overtime, but they still have to write this kind of plot, what the hell...
