"At least I know that not every adventurer can be as bad as Lily thinks."

"At least I know that Lily, who has met so many adventurers, can't possibly meet every adventurer who will only hurt you and not reach out to you gently."

"At least I know that it's not just countless adventurers who are hurting you. You must have hurt countless adventurers as well."

"Then what do you think Lily should do?!!!"

The moment she stepped into the gate of Babel Tower, Lily couldn't help but scream, causing everyone around her to look at her in astonishment.

But Lily ignored all of this, staring intently at the young man in front of her, crying and shouting, "Lily... Lily's life, dignity, hope... the freedom and happiness she finally found... everything... everything was destroyed by adventurers, everything was destroyed by you!! Lily... Why should Lily be gentle... Why should Lily accept the kindness of adventurers like you... What qualifications do you have... What right do you have..."

The white unidentified creature seemed to be frightened, shrank its body and did not speak.

The black-haired boy turned and looked at Lily with a calm expression. "I understand what you're saying, so I'll stop here. I've just told you everything I wanted to say. As for the rest, you'll have to think about the future and make your own choices."

"The future...? Choice...?"

“Consider whether to continue down the path you’re on, which will lead to nothing but pain, or to move on to another future where everything can change.”

The black-haired boy stretched out his right hand towards Lily and said in a calm voice:

"Just like the adventurers who must have offered you a helping hand in the past, only to be rejected and hurt in return, I am extending a hand to you now. This is the first time I am extending a hand to you, and if you refuse, this will probably be the last time."

"After all, I'm a man of principle. I can't keep reaching out to you after being rejected and hurt. I'm not that kind of hero."

"So, answer me, Lily."

"Would you choose to hold this hand?"

Hold...this hand?

Lily's eyes were filled with tears, her heart was filled with countless resentments, countless grievances, and... countless pains.

choose?

You let me... choose?

Lilyluka Erd.

She was born to a couple who were members of the Soma Clan. In other words, from the moment she was born, she had the obligation to become a grassroots member of the Soma Clan.

So, from the moment Lily was born and became Lily, she had no choice at all.

choose?

You let me choose?

Her parents never fulfilled their responsibilities. They only asked the young and even ignorant Lily to make money. They died without her knowing. But even if they died, even if they died after giving birth to Lily irresponsibly, Lily would still have to live in the [Soma Clan]. She had no choice at all.

choose?

You let me choose?

In pursuit of the "divine wine", all the members of the Soma Clan fell into a crazy pursuit of money. Lily, who knew nothing at all, had to drink the "divine wine" and became a slave to the divine wine like everyone else. She madly pursued money in her fanatical desire. Who gave her the opportunity to choose?

Now you let me choose?

Let me choose?

Lily, who is so young that she has just become an adult, is unable to fight at all and has no companions to rely on. She can only rely on her own learning and strive to make money independently. In the end, she is forced to change her career to become a supporter. What choice will she make?

choose?

Oh, you let me choose?

So Lily was exploited.

Whenever they acted as supporters for a group of adventurers, they would always say in unison: "You stole the magic stone. You stole the money. This is your punishment. We don't want to give you any dividends."

Even if Lily, falsely accused, desperately pleaded, it was pointless; she wouldn't get a penny. And even when Lily was nearly killed by a monster, they ignored her and refused to treat her. They just kicked her and warned her not to lose her luggage—what choice did she have?!

Because she couldn't get the money and the magic wine, the magic of the magic wine gradually disappeared, and Lily fled from the [Clan] in tears.

She abandoned her title as a member of the [Family], pretended to be an ordinary person, and finally found a job and a stable life - but Lily's happiness was easily destroyed by her fellow [Soma Family].

Having heard about it from somewhere, the obsessed adventurers broke into Lily's residence, stole her money, and completely destroyed her residence.

The gentle and kind elderly couple in the florist shop immediately kicked Lily out. Lily still remembers the look in their eyes, as if they were looking at something dirty. What was the meaning of her choice?

Ha ha.

select.

You let me choose.

Lily resented the Lord God Soma, the Soma clan, and the adventurers.

How can I not feel resentment?

How can I not feel resentment?

An adventurer who treats Lily gently?

Ah, yes, of course there are, how could there not be?

Just like that gentle old couple, there are also adventurers who are willing to treat Lily gently.

Then, just like that gentle old couple, in the end, they will all show that kind of look to Lily, will betray Lily, and will eventually either stay away from Lily or become the same as the adventurers of the Soma clan - Lily has been betrayed so many times, why do you still want me to continue to believe that I will not be betrayed by you?

choose?

You let me choose?

The same goes for you.

It must be the same.

It is impossible for anyone who knows what Lily has done to choose to forgive her.

You must have given Lily hope in order to betray her, right? Lily won't be fooled. Lily won't be fooled again. Lily will never be fooled again.

"Snapped!!"

Lily couldn't see clearly because her eyes were blurred with tears, but her hand was held.

The black-haired boy asked Lily to choose whether to hold his hand, then squatted down and took the initiative to hold Lily's hand.

"……What are you doing?"

"You can see it with your eyes, right? I took the initiative to hold your hand."

The black-haired boy said softly:

"I'm tired of raising my hands. And I actually prefer being active to being passive."

"you…"

"Since you don't intend to take the initiative to hold my hand, then I will take the initiative."

The black-haired boy wiped the tears from Lily's face with his other hand, and said with a helpless smile:

"No man can watch a girl cry in pain and remain indifferent, just to uphold his so-called principles and let her continue to suffer, right?"

Having said this, he stood up, took Lily's hand and walked out of Babel Tower again.

"What are you...doing? Aren't you...going to the dungeon?"

"I changed my mind."

The black-haired boy said it lightly.

"Now, let's go to the Soma clan first."

Volume 87: Chapter : The Soma Clan in Trouble

Life is always changing.

I had wanted to go to the dungeon to find Niu Mei, but in the blink of an eye I arrived at the Soma clan.

And they directly attacked the Soma clan.

"who are you?"

"what do you want to do?"

"Wow, Traveler, you're really reckless. You're just going to start fighting with so many enemies? And this behavior is wrong, right? Aren't you afraid of being punished by that guild?"

"You've only been in this world for a short time, but it seems you've already figured out the basic social relationships in Orario."

Holding Lily, who was still at a loss, and walking forward, I looked at Paimon with some surprise. At the same time, I knocked down the members of the Soma clan one by one.

Paimon put his hands on his hips with a smug look on his face. "Humph, of course. Who do you think I am? I'm the best guide in Teyvat! Even if we come to another world, I won't let you be my guide."

"Then you still have a lot to learn."

Saying this, I raised my left hand into a palm blade and chopped down all the adventurers in front of me with one slash.

"Although the Guild manages all of Orario's Families, it's not an absolutely fair organization. The Guild's primary goal is to conquer dungeons, and its secondary goal is to complete the world's three major adventure commissions. Everything else must give way to this."

"Whether it's conquering a dungeon or completing the world's three major adventure commissions, what's needed are powerful adventurers and powerful families. Therefore, the more powerful the family, the more responsibility they have to bear for the guild, but at the same time, they will also receive the guild's protection."

For example, the Freya family and the Loki family have to bear a lot of responsibilities in the guild, but when something happens, the guild will completely side with them. Even if they are at fault, the guild will still try every means to protect them.

This is because in the eyes of the guild, the value of all other families in Orario combined is not greater than that of these two families.

"In other words, as long as you can demonstrate sufficient value, a minor conflict with other Families isn't a big deal. Of course, there will be punishment, but it's nothing serious."

"Who the hell are you?!"

At this time, Chanis, the leader of the Soma clan, finally came out. After looking at all the clan members lying on the ground in the courtyard in horror, he quickly fixed his gaze on Lily, who was being held by me, and narrowed his eyes.

"Ede, have you found a backer, so you're betraying your clan?"

Lily's body trembled subconsciously.

Feeling this, I waved gently.

Puff!!!!

Chanis didn't react to what happened at first. He just felt that the right side of his body seemed to be empty for a moment, and subconsciously turned his head to look.

An arm spinning and flying into the sky came into view.

"Wow!"

Along with Paimon's exclamation, Chanis finally realized what was happening. His instinct was to hold down his shoulders, fall to the ground, and scream.

But before he could shout out, the black-haired boy instantly came in front of him, grabbed his head with one hand, and smashed it to the ground lightly.

Peng!!!!

Tzanis fainted.

The young man stood up and looked at the stunned Lily: "Come on, Lily, take me to the Soma God."

"But…"

"Don't worry, I have my own way. Although it all depends on you in the end."

What is going on with this man?

Lily couldn't understand him at all.

Even though she was leading the way, Lily still couldn't understand this inexplicable man.

He knew everything about Lily.

She didn't know why he knew that, but Lily understood that he knew everything about her.

Knowing everything about Lily, he did not distance himself from her. Instead, he took the initiative to contact her, exposing the hidden wounds in her heart, tearing off all of Lily's disguises, and letting Lily face her inner scars. He was as rude as the adventurers in Lily's mind, not gentle at all. For some reason, Lily hated this man.

How could Lily believe a man like this when he told her he wanted to help her? Why should she believe it? Lily would never believe it.

"Why...?"

When they were about to reach the room of the god Soma, Lily murmured unconsciously.

"Why...?"

What on earth was I asking? What on earth did I want to ask? What on earth was I supposed to do with this man who was so strangely unkind?

"When someone wants to harm someone, they may need many reasons, but when someone wants to save someone, they don't need any reasons at all. —I've wanted to say this line a long time ago. It's really good. Don't I look so handsome when I say it?"

"…rough."

"Well, well, it seems not everyone can become Kudo Shinichi."
