Just a magical girl who picks up trash

"The girl has transformed from a once innocent young woman into a heartless monster... not just her soul, but even her body... After undergoing repeated sublimation, she is no longer human, but an immortal, eternal monster, yet devoid of any human emotions...!"

"That heart remained silent for a hundred years. She didn't know when everything on the continent had become something she could watch at will, like a movie on a screen. Saving the world was as easy for her as completing a dungeon in a game. Even if she failed due to some unexpected event, she would just move on to another dungeon... She never really cared!"

"Perhaps it was this girl who began to disappoint the world? So, a hundred years later, the world is looking for a new savior... the girl's descendant: someone who also possesses a system has come into this world..."

"She is the one who comes to replace the girl. She is the one who comes to save the world in the girl's place!"

"From the moment the other party appeared, the girl clearly understood the World's intentions. At that moment, she felt confused and... angry!"

"If I don't have this mission, what will I have left?"

"If even the 'world' doesn't need me to save it, what else can I do?"

"Sometimes, immortality, indestructibility, and indestructibility aren't actually a good thing. Instead, they're a curse... a curse from the world!"

"Since I'm no longer needed, then there's no meaning for my existence. I'm truly just an immortal monster!"

"For a moment, the girl's first thought was... to kill that junior!"

"That's right. If we kill her, if she dies, she will be the only one who can save the world. She will still have the motivation and goal to 'live'. How wonderful does that sound!"

"But...is this really what I'm living for?"

"I don't know when it started, but the girl suddenly realized she seemed to have forgotten something. She had forgotten... something she seemed to have always insisted on when she was a human... What was it? She couldn't remember it... not a single thing!"

"The only thing I remember is that as a human, I seemed to be searching for something. Searching for... something that must have been very important to me!"

"Besides that, the girl also felt confused. That is... why is she living?"

"Yes, immortality only refers to the power derived from the system's sublimation. If a 'replacer' truly appears, then perhaps I will be eliminated as an 'obsolete' existence... Anyway, this monstrous life should have come to an end long ago. Death... maybe it will be a relief!"

"For a moment she had this thought, but in a trance she had another thought: to survive!"

"There is a voice telling me to keep living. There is no extra reason, no need for any excuses, just... to keep living!"

"Even every minute and every second of being alive is something to be thankful for, and it is a kind of happiness!"

"Has anyone ever said that to themselves? Is there something they've been desperately searching for?"

"have what……"

"To live or to die, the girl seemed to have only these two choices left in the end. Caught between these two choices, she became slightly curious about the younger generation who had suddenly appeared. One day, she learned the younger generation's name: Yu Huan!"

"At that moment... she remembered who had said those words to her, and she remembered what her forgotten mission was!"

"That man is her brother, and her mission is to find him no matter what!"

"However, the girl lived in a daze for a hundred years and forgot everything. She forgot her mission, everything about being human, her past and present lives, and even... forgot her brother!"

"This was a mission that she should have dedicated her entire life to, a mission she should never forget or give up, even if she had to give up everything. Yet, this girl has forgotten it for a full hundred years. She's even had the thought of giving up her hard-earned life more than once, a thought that would definitely anger her brother..."

"Hey~~ A girl like this... isn't that too much?"

"So if one day, the missing brother appears in front of the girl again, will she still have the qualifications to call him?"

"A girl like this...isn't she no longer qualified to be his sister?"

"Please tell me the answer..."

"elder brother!"

131. Encounter

"Brother, look, this is the picture I drew in art class. Isn't it beautiful? The teacher praised me for my realistic drawing!"

"Oh, it's really beautiful and I miss it. Yuanyuan, is this a self-portrait?"

"Brother, can't you see that this is short hair? I drew you!"

"..."

"Brother, brother, there's an event at Qianhu Coast today, shall we go together?"

"Oh, if you go first, I can go with you!"

"Yeah, then hurry up and change your clothes. This event is a cosplay convention, and you won't be allowed in if you don't change your clothes!"

"Oh, we need to change clothes. What is COS?"

"It means dressing up as anime characters... Oh, by the way, brother, you've just started watching anime, so you don't really understand it yet. I'll teach you later. Now, change your clothes first!"

"Oh, okay...wait, why is it a skirt? This is women's clothing?!"

"Yeah, what's the problem?"

"This is a big problem. I'm a boy, okay?"

"But COS... means playing a girl, otherwise I won't let you in!"

"How about... you go in alone? I'll wait for you outside, okay?"

"Brother, comic conventions are crowded with people of all kinds. Do you have the heart to let your lovely sister go in alone? What if she gets into danger?"

"But the problem is if I follow you in and run into danger... with my size, who's going to protect whom?"

"It's okay, bro, you can be my source of motivation!"

"What do you mean?"

"Anyway... hurry up and change your clothes. I've already bought the tickets. This is two months' worth of pocket money I've been saving!"

"Okay... okay, but just this once, and don't tell anyone else about this!"

"Yeah, I promise not to tell anyone, don't worry, brother!"

"...Before you say this, please put your phone down. Thank you!"

……

"Brother, are you feeling better today?"

"Yeah, I'm much better. Doctor Li just gave me a diagnosis. I'll probably be able to go home in two days!"

"Why go home? Anyway, your sister and I can still accompany you here. Isn't it good to cultivate yourself quietly?"

"Well~~ It's the same old thing. It's the same everywhere anyway. I always feel more comfortable in the place I like to be!"

"Okay then. I'll tell Mom and Dad to pick you up later. Now... Bro, give me some space. It's really cold outside!"

"It's cold, why don't you wear something warmer and wander around here? Have you finished your homework yet? Why are you playing games again?"

"Well, well, well~ It's okay to write later, my event is about to start!"

"What activities? Games...what are you doing?"

"Brother, help me fight first!"

"Oh, so why did you suddenly hide away..."

"Xiao Yu, are you feeling better? Why are you playing games again? Didn't I tell you that you're not in good health? Doesn't this thing have radiation that can harm your body?"

"...It's okay, Mom. I'll just play for a while. It won't have much of an impact. I'll rest soon!"

"Hmm... By the way, have you seen Yuanyuan? She said she came to give you a video game console. Where did this kid go now?"

"Hmm... maybe because he saw I couldn't concentrate on playing games, he went to find a place to do my homework!"

"That's right. Yuanyuan is a kid who doesn't like to play around. It really makes people feel at ease!"

"Yeah, I feel relieved...hahaha~~haha~~"

"Xiaoyu, you play first and have some rest. Mommy has to go to work first!"

"Oh, Mom, walk slowly and be careful on the road!"

"Ok!"

"Okay, come out!"

"Hehe~~Brother, you are so loyal!"

"Stop it, take away your game console. Go do your homework!"

"Ah? No, brother~~ Please let me play for a while, I will do my homework!"

"No!"

"No, you take everything from your sister. Do you have the nerve to be her brother?"

"Didn't you say this was sent to me? This is called returning the property to its original owner!"

"You... humph, Zhao Yuhuan, don't force me to use my ultimate move! When I get angry, even I'm afraid of myself!"

"Come on, I'm afraid of you!"

"Brother~~Please, give it to me~~I will be through soon...Please brother~~My beloved brother ah ah ah~~"

"...half an hour, and then do my homework immediately!"

"Okay bro, no problem bro, thanks bro!"

……

"Brother, do you want to watch anime?"

"There's nothing good to watch, so I won't watch it!"

"Brother, do you want to play games?"

"I've already cleared all the levels. I'm not interested!"

"Brother, do you want some snacks?"

"The medicine is too bitter. I have no appetite!"

"Brother, I've taken such good care of you, what else do you want to do?"

"Simple, take your hand off my wallet and stop wasting it on figurines!"

"The figurine is so cute, and the change Mom gave me is obviously half of mine, so why can't I use it?"

"Then, my dear sister, tell me how much money you have owed me during the past six months?"

"This... didn't we agree to return it to you later?"

"When will you return it? Will you burn it for me after my death?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Brother, you will live a long life!"

"……Maybe!"

"elder brother……"

"You can buy figures, but you're not allowed to buy cosplay costumes, okay? Especially women's clothes, especially...women's clothes for me!"

"Okay... okay, brother!"

"Look me in the eyes and say it!"

"Ah~~Brother, there's sand in my eyes. I'll go wash them first..."

"Wait a minute, put your wallet down before washing it!"

"Brother, are you my real brother?"

"Sorry, it's not!"

"..."

……

"Ha~~~Brother~~"

"Ok?"

"Will you be...okay?"

"Yes, I will!"

"Hmm~~Will you leave Yuanyuan?"

"……Won't!"

"Never... ever?"

"Well, I will always be with Yuanyuan!"
