The world is broken, my Valkyrie is doubled

"Since you want to see it, then just do it firmly." Wang Chen suddenly said.

"Teacher?" Youmei looked at Wang Chen with some surprise.

"It doesn't matter if we cause trouble to others as long as we do our own things well. The teacher can help you go up, but the prerequisite is whether you are determined to go and see it?" Wang Chen said.

"I want to go, teacher." Youmei naturally didn't need to say much. From the very beginning when she bought the new camera, she had a very clear purpose.

"What about you, Yuno? What do you think? This time you are not being dragged by Youmei, but you are going on your own. Do you really want to go and take a look?" Wang Chen asked.

"I don't..." Yuno subconsciously wanted to answer that she was not interested. After all, she had been dragged by Youmei to feel the atmosphere of the festival. However, when it came to refusing, Yuno hesitated. Maybe it was because she was considering Youmei's feelings? Or maybe it was because she had already experienced this summer festival, but she was missing a part in the end, which made her feel unhappy?

Anyway, Yuno didn't answer immediately, but hesitated again and again, thought carefully for a while, and said: "Go, I'll go with Youmei."

"Okay, then follow me." Wang Chen took Youmei and Yuno in a slightly different direction and began to climb the mountain.

……

Along the way, although the trees and grass became more and more dense, they did not encounter any staff to stop them on the road. It seemed that they did not notice that they had secretly left the shrine area. In short, they climbed up a long distance and were far away from the observation deck.

"Be careful, the slope here is very steep and it's easy to slip. Watch your step." After Wang Chen reminded them, he went up first to help steady the road so that Yuno and the others could climb up. Yuno walked in the middle, and Youmei walked at the back.

"Huh... Huh... How high have we climbed?" Yuno was already impatient. In annoyance, she couldn't help but look down the mountain to the side. She felt that the street had become very small.

However, Yuno was distracted and looked elsewhere, and the height of the pit she was supposed to step on changed, so she missed her step and stepped on empty air.

“Eh…?” Yuno’s body slid down as if she hadn’t reacted yet.

"Yuno-chan!" However, a hand grabbed Yuno in time and prevented her from slipping.

"Woo!" Yuno also grabbed the other's hand tightly and did not let go.

"Come!" Obviously Wang Chen also noticed the other party's slip, and he also reached out, grabbed Yuno's hand and pulled her up.

"Are you okay, Yuno?" Wang Chen checked Yuno's condition. Fortunately, miraculously, she was just slightly frightened and didn't even have a scratch. "No... I'm fine. Thank... Thank you, Youmei." Yuno lowered her head and said.

"Hehe, it's nothing. After all, we are friends." Youmei said to Yuno with a smile.

"Why don't we take a rest? We're not far from the nearest open area." Wang Chen said.

"It's okay... I can continue. If I miss it... ah."

However, before she could finish her words, a deafening sound rang out in the sky. Summer sparks had begun to bloom in the night sky. Yuno looked at the flashes in the distant sky and felt unhappy because she had missed the opening ceremony of the fireworks due to her accident.

"It has already started... Come on, Yuno, I'll continue to hold your hand this time. It's just the beginning, the most exciting and beautiful things are still to come, so don't be discouraged just because you missed the beginning." Youmei said, stretching out her hand.

"Eh? Um..." Yuno looked at the other person's outstretched hand and raised her right hand. This time, Yuno took the initiative to shake it.

……

Just as Wang Chen said, within a few minutes, they came to an open platform where they could directly see the fireworks in the sky and the night view of the city.

"Ha..." Youmei looked at the fireworks blooming in the sky one after another and the beautiful scenery of Changkong City at night. She couldn't wait to take out her camera and take pictures of the sky, which showed her love for this scene.

Yuno also looked at the fireworks that kept flashing in the sky. It was really beautiful just as Youmei said. Although she missed the beginning, she finally reached the platform with her friends to enjoy the subsequent beautiful scenery. Yes... yes, it's friends.

"I always feel like something is missing...Ah! Yuno-chan, here, here. Teacher, thank you for bothering you again." Youmei pulled Yuno to her side and handed the camera to Wang Chen.

The shutter sound was heard.

"Hehe, as expected, it's best to share this kind of scenery with friends." Youmei showed Yuno the photo she had just taken. Yuno was a little stunned when she saw herself in the photo, who already had a faint smile on her face.

"You look very beautiful, Yuno-san. This is the first time I see you smile so happily." Wang Chen's voice came into his ears, "Even though so much has happened in the past, you finally smile now. Just like this firework display, although we missed the beginning, we still have this most beautiful moment in the end, don't you think so? Yuno-san?"

"...Yeah." Yuno was silent for a moment, then responded with a slight curve at the corner of her mouth.

……

And in an old house somewhere, the fireworks outside the window shone into the house with flickering light. The pale yellow and red flowers swayed with each other, as if they were using the sound of the fireworks outside as an accompaniment to their dance.

Chapter 44: Yuno's Change

Since the summer festival, Yuno seemed like a different person. She became gentle and no longer cold. Although she was still quiet, everyone in the class could feel that Yuno's aloof attitude had changed.

After the celebration, Yuno and Yumi became inseparable friends. Of course, since Yuno stopped rejecting people, she made more and more friends in the class.

In the Gardening Club, Yuno also began to communicate with other seniors and became a reliable junior in the eyes of the seniors. By the way, when Yuno came to take care of the Gardening Club the day after the celebration, she was surprised to find that the original red spider lily had become more spiritual and no longer as listless as before.

It seems that her forget-me-not has become a very good friend of the red spider lily, and has begun to cheer up and face every day of her life. Seeing this, Yuno's mood became more cheerful.

Time passed quickly, and soon, a new semester and a new school year arrived. After bidding farewell to her senior high school senior, Yuno, as a sophomore, began to take on the position of president of the Gardening Club. While continuing to take care of the flowers, she also began to guide the new juniors.

The same goes for Youmei. She also became the president of the photography club. The two of them also organized many club activities, and they became popular figures on campus.

Under the leadership of teacher Wang Chen, Yuno's class has become one of the best in the same grade. The whole class is full of positive atmosphere.

Everything seems to be going in the right direction, except...

"Hmm... She's coming again..." Yuno sat up and touched her head which still had some pain. Recently, she often had the same strange dream, that is, she saw a bloody scene, and in the middle of the scene, there was a woman with disheveled hair. Although she couldn't see her face clearly, Yuno could clearly know that she was staring at her and making a weird laugh.

"You really deserve what you have now..." The strange woman seemed to want to say something, but every time she said this, she would feel a sharp pain in her brain and then wake up from her dream.

"Maybe I really should see a doctor." Yuno thought to herself.

Although I have gradually accepted other people and my peaceful and happy life since the summer festival, my body seems to be out of control and violent emotions pop up from time to time. It is really difficult to suppress these distracting thoughts and emotions.

Therefore, Yuno once thought that she had some physical or mental illness that made her out of control, so Yuno decided to go see a psychiatrist.

……

"Ha... everything is normal, overwork? What is this?" However, Yuno walked out of the hospital with the diagnosis and sighed, feeling that the time she had specially taken out was wasted.

But there is no other way, one's own problems still have to be solved.

Suddenly, a message came to her mobile phone. Yuno opened it and found that it was from Youmei, who wanted to invite her to visit the newly opened photo studio today and asked if she had time.

"Forget it. It's a rare opportunity for me to come out, so I'll just agree to Youmei." Soon, Yuno put the unpleasant memories behind her and went to the destination sent by Youmei to spend a fulfilling day with her.

……

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, I am in my senior year of high school, preparing to fill out my application and take the college entrance exam. I have grown one year older, and there are many books piled up around me. My study time is very full every day. In addition to studying, the most common topic I talk about with my classmates is about our plans for the future.

Yuno also handed over the gardening club to a junior who she thought was very good. She also took the forget-me-not and red spider lily that had accompanied her back home to take care of them.

"Time flies so fast..." Yuno couldn't help but sigh, everything that happened in the past seemed like it happened yesterday. It was as if her life had been fast-forwarded. Maybe it was because the peaceful daily life was mostly the same, so it passed so quickly.

"Ouch!" Suddenly, Yuno felt a sudden headache. She saw that the appearance of the entire classroom had suddenly changed a little, turning into a dilapidated scene full of plants. But it soon returned to normal.

"It's like this again... Now it's not just dreaming, but also visual hallucinations?" Yuno sighed. After seeing a psychiatrist for the first time, she went to many hospitals for examinations. The results did not find any problems. However, her phantom pains became more and more serious, sometimes even affecting Yuno's normal life and study.

In recent days, my phantom pain is no longer limited to sleeping. Occasionally, I can see hallucinations when I am awake, but after a burst of pain in my head, everything returns to normal.

What exactly is wrong with my body? Is it that I am abnormal, or...

"By the way, how about asking Teacher Wang Chen... He is so omnipotent on weekdays, maybe he has a good way to solve my... Huh?" Suddenly, Yuno frowned and thought of a strange thing. When was the last time she saw Teacher Wang Chen?

……

"Fake time is fake time after all..." Wang Chen sighed, looking at Yuno's frowning face in the picture, he was also a little distressed. He wanted to give Yuno enough time in the real illusion to let Yuno slowly change, but his consciousness form time was running out and his strength was constantly fading. The hallucinations and headaches that Yuno had just seen were just some phenomena caused by the fact that his consciousness was about to wake up from the illusion.

Therefore, Wang Chen accelerated the process of the illusion and made Yuno mistakenly believe that two years had passed. However, Wang Chen had reason to do so, because he did feel that Yuno's own will had been constantly awakened, and Yuno's original nature was awakening.

"Everything depends on your last birthday... Yuno-san, whether you can seize this opportunity depends on your own will."

Wang Chen knew that there was a mysterious will that was constantly influencing Yuno. Although he had sealed the Herrscher's consciousness, he could not stop this will. Wang Chen initially suspected that it was the intervention of the Honkai will, but as the observation time continued to accumulate, Wang Chen denied this idea. With a will of that level, wouldn't it be enough to directly shatter this illusion? Why go to such trouble to deliberately seduce Yuno?

Therefore, Wang Chen could only judge that this will also belonged to Yuno, but because he had sealed a part of her memory, they were mutually exclusive. In other words, the will that had been affecting Yuno now was most likely the result of his sealed memory.

Wang Chen couldn't stop this memory from interfering with Yuno. Rather, this sinful memory is the part of Yuno that she needs to face the most. So after facing this memory, will Yuno continue to choose to be a human, or choose to become a Herrscher, or a monster?

Chapter 45: The Last Birthday

After school, the students walked away quickly, and Yuno also packed her things to leave school. Youmei didn't come to class today, apparently because she was sick and asked for leave.

"It's a rare occasion that I go home alone after school. Without Youmei's energetic voice, I feel a little lonely." Yuno shook her head and said to herself.

"Oh, right, I almost forgot that there is something else to do. Teacher Wang asked me to go to the Horticulture Club to complete a club activity list. Originally, these were given to the juniors to do, but it turned out that the juniors went to participate in a study exchange meeting today, so they were not in the club... This is really troublesome. But... why do I feel like I haven't seen Teacher Wang for a long time, it's strange."

Yuno put on her school bag and walked towards the old house where the gardening club was located while thinking.

……

"How come I'm so busy that it's almost dark... I have to go back quickly." Yuno hurried home. After all, her forget-me-nots and red spider lilies were still waiting for her to go back and water them.

Moreover, although my mother has now become the gentle mother she used to be, I will still be lectured if I come home too late.

So he ran back home quickly, but strangely, although it was dark, there was no light in the windows of his house.

"Strange? Could it be that mom hasn't come back today?" Yuno thought to herself.

After unlocking the door, the house was quiet and all the lights were off. Yuno turned on the light in the corridor and walked towards the living room.

"Hmm?" Yuno didn't know if it was her illusion, but as soon as she came to the living room from the corridor, she noticed several figures standing faintly in the dark living room.

"Thief?" Yuno was alert and took out the anti-wolf spray from her pocket, then slowly walked towards a figure that looked the tallest. She had to get rid of the strongest fighter first, so that she could get rid of all the thieves.

"watch out!"

"Hey... turn on the light."

Yuno was just about to spray the anti-wolf spray at the figure, but suddenly found that the anti-wolf spray in her hand had disappeared. Then the lights in the living room came on. Yuno squinted slightly, adapting to the sudden strong light, and then noticed that the person standing in front of her was actually her teacher Wang Chen.

"Yuno, if you suspect that a bad guy has entered your home, your first reaction should be to leave the room and call the police, instead of taking the initiative like you are doing now." Wang Chen said, shaking a bottle of anti-wolf spray in his hand with a headache on his face.

"Teacher? Why are you here..."

"Yuno-chan! Happy birthday!" However, a voice full of energy interrupted Yuno's question, and Yuno immediately noticed that behind Wang Chen, Youmei, who was supposed to stay at home on sick leave, also appeared in the living room. Then, Yuno also found that there were more than just Wang Chen and Youmei in the living room.

"Happy birthday, Yuno-san."

"Happy birthday, senior sister~"

"You're one year older. Congratulations, my daughter."

……

Several classmates from school, a reliable junior girl from the gardening club, and a senior girl who was already in college but unexpectedly took time off to come back, and of course the mother who had been at home.

"You guys..." Yuno was obviously a little surprised. After all, in previous years, even Yumi would at most send a birthday blessing, and never held such a grand birthday party like this. For Yuno, their careful preparation really brought her a surprise.

"You didn't expect that, Yuno-chan, this is your first time to accept such a grand birthday celebration." Youmei said with a smile.

"You...you wouldn't deliberately take a day off sick just to plan this birthday party." Yuno shook her head and said.

"It's okay, I've already got Teacher Wang's consent, right, Teacher Wang?" Youmei came to Wang Chen and said.

"Snapped!"

"it hurts!"

Wang Chen flicked her pretty little head gently and said, "This is just once. And you should be ready to make up for the lessons you missed today on Sunday."

"Woo...I got it, teacher." The moment she heard about the make-up class, Youmei was like a wilted flower.

"Seniors, juniors, and other classmates, thank you for your blessings." Yuno looked at the other classmates and acquaintances who prepared this birthday party for her, and said with a rare smile on her face.

Everyone laughed and said that Yuno didn't need to be so polite, after all, she was the protagonist here today.

"After all, you will graduate soon, and everyone will go their separate ways, so we may see each other less and less. It can be said that this is Yuno's last birthday in Chiba Academy. So they all want to celebrate for you." Wang Chen said slowly.

"At first I was shocked. I thought something had happened when I saw so many students knocking on the door. But when I found out that they were all here to prepare for your birthday, I felt really happy that Yuno could make so many true friends at school." Yuno's mother also smiled gently at Yuno and said.

"Yeah." Yuno nodded silently. She had already felt everyone's most sincere blessings for her. She felt very warm and touched in her heart, but she just didn't know how to organize her voice to express it well. Yumi, who was standing next to her, knew Yuno's personality, so she took the initiative to say, "Yuno-chan, don't just stand there~ You are the protagonist today, come and let the birthday party officially begin!"

Youmei once again took Yuno's hand and came to the dining table, where a 10-inch big cake was placed, with blessings for Yuno written on it. The style of the whole cake was Yuno's favorite petal style. It can be said that everyone carefully considered Yuno's hobbies.

After lighting the candles and turning off the lights, everyone gathered around Yuno and sang the birthday song. Under everyone's expectant eyes, Yuno blew out the candles and made a wish: I hope that no matter how long it takes, I and everyone present today can always be happy.

Then everyone cut the cake and started the game session they had been looking forward to for a long time.

"Hmm?" Wang Chen, who was watching the students playing games and chatting with Yuno's mother, frowned. He noticed a vine slowly creeping outside the window of Yuno's house. Wang Chen was too familiar with this vine. Without showing any emotion, he began to say to Yuno's mother, "Excuse me, I may need to use the toilet in your house."

"Oh, the toilet is over there." Yuno's mother pointed to a room door and said. Wang Chen nodded, walked to the toilet room, closed the door, and then used the authority to manipulate the illusion to open a crack and then crawled in.

After stepping out of the crack, Wang Chen came to the outer courtyard of Yuno's house. At this moment, Wang Chen's face finally turned ugly. He saw the "root" of the wriggling vines appearing in front of him so openly.

"Long time no see, Teacher Wang Chen who likes to play house. I have been freed from the seal." The Herrscher Yuno walked straight towards Wang Chen with a charming smile.

"Has it broken free? Time has finally come to an end. The transformation effect of my Herrscher of Consciousness has begun to gradually lose its effect. The control over this illusion is gradually weakening. So the chains that sealed the Herrscher Yuno have been broken free. And the memory of Yuno that was sealed before is about to awaken." Wang Chen thought inwardly, then he clenched his hand, and the Divine Fire Trial Greatsword appeared in his hand.

"However... Yuno's memory recovery was part of the plan. After all, this is the truth and choice she has to face and cannot avoid. As for the Herrscher consciousness, well... it looks like I can only hold her back here to prevent her from influencing Yuno's judgment. But at the same time, I can't guide Yuno anymore... Everything depends on her making the final choice." Wang Chen thought, and then rushed towards the other party with the sword raised high.

Chapter 46 It’s time to wake up from the dream
