Wilvi truly gave her all, caring nothing about anything else, and even easily overcame the problems that had plagued her throughout her life.

This relationship is too morbid, too insane.

Even the boy had never imagined this scene.

It was just a casual act of kindness.

It was clearly just a gift to give back to the girl.

They clearly didn't actually help or save anything.

Is it possible that everything she gave was actually less than one ten-thousandth of what the girl gave, yet it became the only thing in her life, or even the only thing of value?

this is not……

It left him with absolutely no other choice.

He could only be bound to the girl.

There is no other option.

You'll never find someone like that girl again.

Such behavior and such sacrifices have made the boy picky enough, making all the love he once fantasized about seem so cheap and thin, floating like a feather, and even feeling weightless.

“I accept your apology. If I feel like I can’t release stress next time, I can go on a trip with you. You don’t have to worry that I will hate traveling. I don’t really care whether I’m in the sky or in a room.”

"The only thing I care about is who is walking beside me, and whether she will look at me?"

"Stop doing this, or I'll have to perform and get off the stage."

……

Only at this moment, only when you threatened her with yourself, did the girl finally raise her head, finally stand up in the face of your dark eyes, and finally quietly return to her bed, lying obediently.

Unconditional gentleness is meaningless.

[Guidance is necessary.]

This emotion is so heavy, it feels like it's going to crush you completely, a stark contrast to the Alicia of the past.

【—Isn't this good too?】

Unlike before, at least you've truly found something you can do, no longer a burden on your travels, as if the whole world is irrelevant to you and doesn't care if you're gone.

So this exists? .jpg

43. Have you ever really cared about Jiangcheng?

And you're willing to believe that Velvi isn't lying to you, even though this time you'd rather hear the girl say she's joking.

You were only pretending to remove your mask, but the girl actually did it.

【certainly……】

[It's not that extreme; you can still sense that Velvi isn't a pervert.]

[It's nothing more than all the monks bowing down.]

[It will just be holding your clothes.]

You've already walked hand in hand towards a new tomorrow, so let's just pretend this trivial matter doesn't exist and not let it affect your mood.

This is only the first day. You will now spend the second, the third, the fourth... together, until the moment you feel fulfilled.

"This is a mutual rescue, and no matter the outcome, the process itself is beautiful enough."

"This rescue and help is not yet complete. Rewards and changing the world are no longer meaningful. What we really need to care about is everything in front of us."

Jiang Cheng slowly closed his eyes, gently pressing his hand to his heart, feeling the warmth transmitted through his blood as his heart pounded.

A warmth that flows through my entire body.

It felt like stepping into a hot spring with the perfect temperature.

Warmth seeps into the skin through every pore, cleansing every nerve and cell; simply sitting inside feels like being embraced by a lover.

If we betray such profound love, if we betray such a lovely young girl.

There is no need for so-called empathy or emotional connection.

The boy will also truly regret it for the rest of his life.

Next comes another enemy to confront, which is probably just as terrifying as the Honkai in some ways, almost impossible to defeat, and even more so, almost impossible to overcome.

At least Alicia doesn't need to worry. That girl, who is always surrounded by countless people, never feels lonely, and she won't be so upset by her departure that she can't eat or sleep, feeling depressed and in pain.

……

[—You're so distressed you can't eat or sleep; feeling depressed and in pain, you stare at the device in front of you and fall into silence.]

[—Camera.]

Despite its appearance being quite different from a typical camera, it looks more like a rather ordinary, antique bronze pocket watch.

[There were even tightly fitted gear joints exposed through cutouts; a tool only the size of a palm obviously couldn't accomplish much, and even historical spy cameras couldn't have been placed inside.]

This only applies to ordinary people.

You can see light, very clear light.

[Take precise photos of every part of this pocket watch and send them to the most accomplished scholar you know in the engineering department. Amidst his endless praise, you'll understand the true essence of this pocket watch.]

[—Camera.]

It's unclear how this equipment was miniaturized to such an extent; its internal structure is remarkably uniform, unlike any mass-produced assembly line on the market. Clearly, it could only be a product crafted by an individual.

This unassuming young girl might actually be the most talented person at all of the banquets.

This shouldn't concern you.

[It has nothing to do with you, at least not until that day comes.]

You never like or dislike someone because of these extraneous factors; what truly earns affection is genuine human emotion.

Even if you can't perfectly fulfill this promise.

Even when faced with the sincere feelings between a young boy and girl, you chose to run away instead of offering your blessings.

Under the guidance of that unknown scholar, you began to examine some of the unencrypted information stored in the exquisite pocket watch.

The security measures weren't very stringent, probably because there was no internet connection, and physical factors posed virtually no challenge to you.

Everything proceeded smoothly and easily without any difficulty or discomfort. It was the videos recorded in the table that were truly difficult for you to accept.

—That's a boy from another perspective.

Unlike the boy in my memory who seemed forever energetic, enthusiastic, and always the hero, the boy who led the young and innocent girl out of the suffering and dark forest and into the world of humanity.

The videos inside, however, show a boy who is often lonely and mired in sadness.

He was not born with superhuman strength, nor was his talent and ability so great that he was arrogant. He had nothing outstanding about his physical fitness or memory.

Even his personality is very normal; he is neither a selfless, super-saintly philanthropist nor overly wicked or terrible, and he has no extreme emotions.

The boy was just an ordinary boy.

There are no special ordinary people, nor should there be any.

Ordinary people should go to school, make friends with classmates of similar age, inherit their parents' business, and live a peaceful and happy life.

Perhaps it's not so glorious or great, but this peaceful life is a kind of beauty that countless people dream of but can never experience, no matter how hard they try.

Many people cannot feel even a sliver of peace at the moment of death; even a terrifying death can be regarded as a final rest.

The boy clearly had the opportunity, the chance to live an ordinary yet happy life.

There was no outside despicable behavior or disaster in the cozy little town.

Only simplicity, peace, warmth, and beauty.

……

What is it that I...?

—What did you do?!

For a moment, the flawless pink in her light blue pupils overshadowed the pure blue, and glistening water droplets swirled gently within her eyes.

This is the kind of boy who left with me at the age of fifteen, abandoning his parents' embrace and the warmth of his home just to be with me.

The path to paradise is never easy and is destined to be filled with countless adventures.

Through daily travels and interactions with different people, the only friend, the only family member, and the only person the boy could rely on was himself.

For many people in the world, these external difficulties may not matter; all they need is a companion to take care of each other.

The only problem is...

—Did I ever really care about the boy?

Did she ever show even the slightest concern for the person who saved her like a hero, a prince, or the male protagonist in a fairy tale?

Regardless of one's state of mind, regardless of what one's beating heart is thinking, and regardless of how heavy the weight originating from one's heart may be.

They genuinely care about it in their behavior.

Is it really something that is extremely precious?

Can you really experience this passion that matches your emotions?
