Go back? There's no going back.

"…What are you thinking about?"

Returning to the bedroom, Su Wei put this absurd idea to rest, chuckled and shook his head.

The princess' time is so precious, it can't be wasted by a little kid like me.

Besides, it seems that he doesn't have anything to say.

You can't just cry and hug the other person's thighs, saying that you can't bear to give up the wealth and glory and want to stay here.

Although I was really reluctant a few seconds ago.

But, compared to these, there are indeed more important things to do.

From the beginning to the end, he never belonged here.

Everything here has never belonged to him.

just now.

The wheat at home is ripe.

It's so ripe that weeds are starting to grow on it.

It’s time to wake up from this sweet dream.

Lowering his head slightly, Su Wei pinched the amulet that had faded severely over the years with his fingertips, took a deep breath, and stuffed it back into the lining.

Mom.

I will find you.

Will.

...wait for me.

However, more than ten seconds later, when Su Wei dragged his already packed luggage and walked out of the room quickly, he immediately felt a pair of eyes falling on him.

The owner of the gaze is still the First Princess.

But for some reason, unlike the previous calm gaze, this time, there seemed to be something more in that gaze, something that made Su Wei feel cold as if he was being pricked by needles all over his body.

"You... have already been prepared?"

The next second, Su Wei rarely heard the princess's voice which had a slight ups and downs.

Even that flawless and cold face showed a slight ripple.

"Ah?"

Hearing the voice, Su Wei was stunned.

He subconsciously looked at the other person, and found that the other person was staring at the bulging luggage in his hand...

Soon, Su Wei also reacted and his expression changed slightly.

Just now, he was only thinking about not wasting the other party's time and leaving here as soon as possible, but he ignored this.

If you think about it carefully, when an employee who has been treated generously by his boss for many years leaves the company, it seems... he should indeed show more reluctance?

...Ah this.

Should I go back and linger for a while before coming out?

Chapter 2: I won the resurrection match and came back hot

In the end, Su Wei never returned to the room that no longer belonged to him.

sunset.

Accompanied by Miss Elsie, the First Princess's personal maid, he finally stepped out of the palace where he had lived for eight years.

"Thank you."

Su Wei took the bulging backpack from the maid who was helping with the luggage. Although he had already gathered all his strength, he was still staggered by the weight.

Although I have tried to be frugal as possible over the past eight years, when I put together the daily necessities I have purchased during this period, they still become quite heavy.

After handing the luggage to Su Wei, the beautiful maid did not turn around and go back.

Her shoulder-length flaxen hair swayed gently. She lifted the hem of her skirt with her right hand, exposing her straight white legs to the cold wind for a brief moment. She took out something that looked like the pistol in Su Wei's previous life from the leg ring and handed it to Su Wei.

"Hmm? This is...M1996 Helen Bell Anaconda Forest Recoilless V12 Final Enhanced Edition?!"

Su Wei was stunned at first when he saw the thing handed to him, which looked like a certain model of revolver in his previous life.

Soon, after recognizing this magic weapon, his expression changed slightly.

Although this world does not have fighting spirit that has reached its peak, magic power... and even higher-level holy power and divine power, all exist.

Unfortunately, in this world where spiritual practice is possible, Su Wei, who was born in the slums, is unsurprisingly a spiritual practice black hole just like the vast majority of rat people.

Because of this, during the time he was taken in by the princess, he was given access to the library, and his experience gradually broadened. He soon developed a strong interest in magic weapons that could allow him to "overcome the powerful with the weak."

Most magic weapons require practitioners with the corresponding level of magic power to activate and use.

However, there are also basic magic weapons that can be used by ordinary people.

For example, the one in the maid's hand right now.

Although the appearance of the magic weapon m1996 Helen***** was quite low-key, and even very similar to another basic magic weapon m1660***** on the market, which was nicknamed "water gun", Su Wei still recognized it at a glance.

With this thing, let alone the most common first and second levels, as long as you steal... and aim accurately, civilians even have the hope of defeating practitioners who have just entered the third level.

"You want to give this to me?"

Blinking his eyes, Su Wei took the magic weapon from the maid with some hesitation.

It felt heavy in his hand. Su Wei looked confused as he held this short gun, which was equivalent to "Lü Bu among men" among basic magic weapons.

In this world, every magic weapon that is good enough is extremely expensive, and it can even be said that there is no market for it.

At least, even if he had a lot of savings now, Su Wei had no channels to buy such an excellent magic weapon.

However, compared to Su Wei who looked at a loss, the maid just looked at him gently.

"This is my birthday present this year..."

"You've done a great job."

After a while, when Su Wei calmed down again, she tiptoed slightly and reached out to touch Su Wei's head: "Next, take good care of yourself."

"……I will."

Hearing this, Su Wei's expression paused.

Looking at the maid in front of him who would prepare a birthday cake for him every year on this day in the past, he hesitated for a moment and nodded vigorously.

"Did you bring your wallet and passbook?"

"Bring it."

"Did anything else fall?"

"No."

"Then...goodbye?"

After a while, under the maid's instructions, Su Wei took a deep breath, turned around, and left this prosperous place with his head held high: "Goodbye!"

**

A few moments.

"I am back."

The entrance door was pushed open, and Elsie, dressed in black and white maid's outfit, returned to the palace.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw the princess still sitting by the window in the main hall.

At this moment, the other party was staring at her in a trance... no, he was staring at the entrance behind her.

"..."

Their eyes met, and Celsia came to her senses: "He... is gone?"

"Yes, he left."

Elsie nodded.

At the same time, she cast a somewhat puzzled look at her master.

After all, at this moment, from the floor-to-ceiling window next to the other person, one can see the scenery near the main entrance at a glance.

You've already seen it with your own eyes, why are you asking so many questions?

"…Yeah."

Noticing Elsie's gaze, the First Princess fell silent for a moment. After a while, she asked softly, "Did he say anything else?"

"No, he didn't say anything."

Hearing this, Elsie shook her head.

The entire palace became silent.

"Do you think, Elsie, that he hates me?"

After a moment, Celcia, who was half leaning on the bench, suddenly sat up straight.

Under the maid's puzzled eyes, this adult who always hated wasting time, for some reason, abnormally asked about something that had already been decided.

"Hmm? Hate... you? I don't think so."

Blinking, Elsie looked at her master with increasing confusion: "From the beginning, both you and he knew very well that this was an exchange."

Seeing that he was more sentimental than usual, Elsie smiled softly: "Besides, he has always been a considerate child, isn't he?"

"..."

Hearing this, Celsia also calmed down again.

As if she had thought of something from the maid's answer, her green eyes inadvertently became a little calmer: "Indeed, he has always been like this."

"Except for finding that foster mother, he never asked me for anything else."

As he muttered to himself, the entire main hall fell silent again.

I don't know how much time has passed, but the communication frog that Celsia had casually thrown on the long table beside her after returning home suddenly began to vibrate, making a continuous "quack" sound, breaking the silence.

——There is new information coming from the neighboring country.

The princess, who had been staring at the entrance in a trance, frowned slightly and came back to her senses at this moment.

The next second, a virtual panel constructed by magic power popped out from the frog-shaped communicator's mouth and appeared before the princess.

The news that came this time was the news she cared about the most.

——The support team that was sent over has already found him.

——That person, the hero who saved me at all costs... is really still alive.

"I'm going to see him in three days..."

Celsia murmured as her eyes swept over the floating red message that popped out of the frog's mouth.

After a while, she turned to look at the maid beside her: "He... once protected the entire royal city. The queen has discussed with me. This time, we should prepare a welcoming ceremony for him as a national knight... It should be grand."

"I see."

The maid lowered her head slightly, took out a cat head-shaped communicator from the pocket of her long skirt, turned around and walked out of the main hall.

"..."

Soon, the princess was the only one left in the huge room.

However, as those green eyes looked around, the expression on the First Princess's face... gradually became confused.

……what?

what happened?

Obviously that person is still alive.

Obviously he has been found.

Even the replacement that I had taken in to ease the guilt that had accumulated over the years...had already resigned.
