I already said this is not a life simulator!

Xi Wang subconsciously touched her long hair. The hair flowed through her fingertips, gradually transitioning from dark like the night sky to white like waves.

"Compared to that, I prefer rainy days... Alicia, if I become a Herrscher, will it be related to rainy days? Or is it related to music? If the two can be combined... that would be perfect, I think I would be very happy."

“…You are not a Herrscher.”

"Yes, but at least I am the biggest suspect now, right?"

Xiwang's gaze shifted to the rain outside the window. Even through the glass, Xiwang could still sense the emotions coming from the rain... He could feel that he seemed to be getting closer and closer to [water], and some strange broken images would emerge.

What were those? Were they hallucinations? Was the collapse affecting him? Or was it... the past?

"I've really been troubled by Dr. Mobius recently... She has helped me a lot... And you too, thank you so much for helping me."

"But...if that is really the case...I hope you can show no mercy and defeat me properly."

"After all, it's all about humanity, isn't it?"

"........."

For some reason, when Xi Wang recited this sentence, his voice seemed to carry a hint of sadness. This emotion was fleeting, like an illusion...but this feeling was sensed by Alicia, and her breathing paused. It was as if someone suddenly pinched her heart, making her feel sad.

What's going on... This feeling of guilt... It's as if I've done something to hurt him... How could I do something like that? I obviously like him very much? - Alicia was a little confused.

However, Xi Wang quickly returned to his normal tone and changed the subject, so that Alicia no longer had the mind to care about this issue.

"Alishia, do you think there are Herrschers who are friendly to humans? This might change everyone's views a little bit... maybe we can all get along with each other in a friendly way?"

"some."

Alicia replied.

"There must be."

Her tone was firm.

"...Yeah, that's what I thought."

Xi Wang blinked and then said with a smile.

"And... even if there isn't one, wouldn't it be enough to just be that one? Even if it's the only one~"

"...You are definitely not the only one, and...you are not a Herrscher now, so don't say such discouraging words~?"

"Sorry, sorry~ At this time, I always say a lot unconsciously..."

"You are very similar to Eden in this respect~?"

"Yeah, after Eden drinks, she will talk more unconsciously, and in the end she even starts singing... She's still like this even when she's drunk, right? Ah, at this time, Eden also likes to talk to others about her collections, such as gems and things... After she's finished talking, she'll give them to you directly, right? She's so cute every time she pulls me aside to talk about these things."

"Eden's little secret got it~?"

"And Sakura too? But she rarely gets drunk. Most of the time, she's drunk by Eden... After a few times, Sakura no longer drinks with Eden. Even if she does, she only drinks low-alcohol wine. But Eden likes the sakura wine Sakura makes... Sakura also often makes some snacks, which are delicious!"

"Xiwang's tone is too obvious~ But you really like sweets~?"

"Sweetness can bring happiness to people~ I think Alicia likes it too, right?"

"Of course~ And after becoming a fusion warrior, you don't have to keep in shape anymore, you can enjoy your favorite food~?"

"That's great... other girls will be jealous, right?"

"Hehe~ I usually don't tell them, so let's just keep this as a little secret between us~ Okay?"

"Okay."

The conversation between the two returned to normal, as relaxed and pleasant as before.

…………

………………

"It's a blessing to see you're well, Xiwang."

"No need to use such respectful titles, Aponia... But you are back from the "Deepest Place", are you okay? Is it dangerous there?"

"Thank you for your concern, but... it's okay. The people over there are all very good. Under the constraints of the [Precepts], any darkness and evil will be restrained."

"You don't have to say that to everyone. Many of them were sent in because of failed surgeries... If I had discovered my [power] earlier, maybe they would have been able to fight normally and become our comrades, right?"

"You don't have to take the blame on yourself. You didn't undergo surgery at the time, so you naturally didn't have any [Power]... But your wishes have been conveyed to their ears along with your [Song]. They... are also grateful to you for being so considerate of them, for giving them some peace in their frenzy, and for giving them some light in the darkness."

"It would be great if I could help them~ But unfortunately, there are some problems with my current [song]... Uh-huh, I have to apologize to everyone later~"

"You don't have to take the blame on yourself, or put the blame on yourself..."

"But isn't that what Aponya herself is like?"

"........."

Aponia was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously raised her eyes to look at the [silk thread] that only she could see, but soon, a soft voice drew her attention back to Xiwang.

"Look at me, Sister..."

He said this softly.

"Although you are sometimes weird, especially after the operation, but... you must want to help others, right? Just like before."

“Every time you see someone getting hurt, or things going in a bad direction, you always look very sad… You often talk about “fate” and “destiny”, but you never stop moving forward, and you never stop helping others.”

"You must want to change something, right? But in the end, the thing you said was destined to happen again, without any deviation... That's why you are always sad, always feeling that you haven't done enough... I can hear the fatigue in your voice."

"Ah... I'm sorry. It's our habit to sense emotions from other people's words. I hope you don't mind, but... at least this time, please don't worry."

"Although I can't see the world through your eyes, this time... at least this time, it will change."

He said so.

"…………Um."

"Rest a little longer, eh? After dealing with this matter."

"……it is good."

Aponia remained silent, looking at the smile on Xiwang's face, looking at the [silk thread] wrapped around him, and nodded gently.

Although it is still a long way from the [End], but... all the turning points will begin from now on. Things have already changed, although only slightly, only a little bit, but... this is enough.

She will watch Xi Wang's figure, walking towards the [end] step by step.

"Ah...sometimes I feel like we are too redundant, Dobia, don't you think so~?"

"I always feel like we're getting in their way a little bit. Sigh... Really, you two should pay more attention."

Alicia and Desdobia on the side spoke helplessly, but soon, Desdobia smiled and looked at Xiwang.

"But thank you so much this time, big star. Aponya was running around all day before, doing some weird things... Although I know Aponya has good intentions, the final result is somewhat... not so good, which makes everyone feel helpless."

"Like this time, in order to prevent others from falling asleep in the [Song], Aponia arbitrarily gave many people [Commandments], which made the people above a little distressed..."

"Feel sorry……"

"It's okay. Although the [Commands] have caused them a lot of trouble, it's better than falling into a coma, right? It would be bad if they couldn't wake up... As for the [Commands], we can solve them together after this matter."

Desdobia waved her hand. After all, everyone knew that Aponia had a good heart. After joining the Fire Moth, she helped many people resolve their problems... It was just that her kindness made her do some things that seemed strange to others, especially after she became a fusion warrior. But these were not a big problem.

"Okay, enough small talk, it's time to get down to business... Big star, please?"

"Yes, I know. Please help me."

Xi Wang nodded, allowing Destobia and Aponia's [power] to envelop him, and then... he spoke softly.

???~

The golden light flowed like a stream, outlining the shape of the notes. A slight "wind" emerged, brushing across everyone's faces, bringing up his "song".

【hehe--】

There was a slight laugh in my ears, as if the listeners found their useless actions ridiculous.

What followed was the sound of a figure falling to the ground. From the sound, it seemed to come from Desdobia.

And his own perception became weak in an instant, as if everything was fading away, and his body seemed to be falling into the abyss, unstoppable.

Then... the alarm of the "Fire Moth" was heard.

He tried hard to open his eyes, but his vision was still dim, as if he still had his eyes closed.

In the dim light, I could feel light falling from above, and the sound of wings flapping gently came to my already silent ears.

In a trance, I could feel soft feathers falling on my body and a gentle breeze enveloping my whole body.

【■■■……】

A soft voice came like a breeze, gentle and caring, blowing gently, as if she was checking his body, concerned about whether he was injured... After confirming that he was okay, she gently put him down, allowing him to land.

[Hmm? Wait a minute? How did you...?]

call--

It seemed like someone was talking in my ear, but along with the sound of the "wind" blowing, the suspicious voice disappeared in an instant.

...Is it an illusion? I felt like I just heard the sound of "fire" burning and a little bit of "water" flowing.

tick-

It was the sound of rain falling, clear and noisy, and a moist scent came from the tip of my nose.

The emotions brought by the rain are filled with anxiety and uneasiness, as if it is very anxious.

When I opened my eyes, what came into view was the starless night, the curtain of rain, and... a familiar street.

"Ah... it's here."

Xiwang understood and looked up... As expected, he saw that place, the place where he was trapped - [Hidakoro].

"What is this? My dream? Or my memory? It's so magical..."

Xi Wang sighed like this, and after a quick look around, he didn't stay for too long and walked towards [Hida Koro].

The rain was panicking and anxious, as if something they cared about was trapped. Hmm... Based on this speculation, it was probably me, right? - Xiwang thought so.

As expected... this is [that day].

Chapter 7648: This is my singing time~ ()

“Hmm~??”

Xiwang strolled in the silent environment. The darkness inside [Hidakoro] could not stop his brisk steps. The breeze blew, telling him the way ahead and guiding him in the direction of progress.

Ah... Thinking about it carefully, I didn't even visit this big mall properly. It's such a pity that I didn't take a closer look at such a lively place.

But now there are more important things~

Under the guidance of the "wind", Xi Wang successfully found the original locker room, and also successfully smelled the damp smell inside... Obviously, it should be [him at that time] inside.

knock--

"……Eh?"

I knocked on the door politely, only to find that it was not locked... Could it be that I had knocked on the wrong door?

"what……"

Pushing open the door, Xi Wang looked at the scene inside with some surprise - it was indeed [himself] inside, but it was just a corpse.

It was a corpse with its hands crushed and its throat cut. Blood mixed with wet water flowed on the ground, and resentment and unwillingness still remained in its already dilated pupils.

Xi Wang squatted down, supported his face with one hand, and looked at the corpse carefully. The white hair tips gently fell to the ground, stained with a little red belonging to blood.

“…She’s pretty.”

Xiwang suddenly said this.

?

If someone heard these strange words, they would probably slowly type a question mark, and then look at Xi Wang with an extremely weird look. After all, in the current situation, it is not appropriate to say such words no matter how you look at it.

However, Xi Wang's attitude was very serious. After all, the scene before him really fits the aesthetics of "horror". Most people would be terrified when seeing it, and it is not impossible for them to pass out. But for Xi Wang now, this kind of thing... is still a little short of it.

After all, the scenes he saw from the "fragments" brought by the rain were much more exciting than this.

Of course, what’s more important is... he is here now, Xi Wang is here now, and this scenery... there is no need to worry too much.

"After all... I already have a lot of things that are worth cherishing."

Xi Wang reached out his hand and gently touched his cheek, feeling the bone-chilling coldness, then slowly touched his eyelids and closed his eyes for him.
