I was raised in the simulator, and I’m really not a bad woman in Ark!

[Instead, they are the deep-sea hunters who are filled with guilt, reluctance, and sadness. ]

【And what they bring...】

[——The cruel reality that your parents died in the last battle before returning home.]

Chapter 77: Will the sickly elder sister Bai Yueguang meet the cold and beautiful girl Agor?

So, in the simulation, none of my parents made it past my eighth birthday?

What kind of bad taste setting is this...

Looking at the simulated text, Ekalos felt a deep malice coming from the simulator. It seemed that the simulator was telling him that he definitely had no parents.

However, despite his complaints, Ikaros continued to watch the development of the simulation. After all, in reality, Ikaros had never even seen his parents...

Of course, Mama Luciana and Marcello don’t count.

……

【Fate played a bad joke on you.】

[Although you cannot accept the cruel reality, it is the fact that your parents passed away in the last battle before returning home.]

[After you realized that this was not a joke but reality, you were so heartbroken that you finally fainted from crying and were sent to the hospital by the hunters.]

[You were in a coma for three whole days in the hospital. It was not until you had recovered for half a month in the hospital that your neighbors and your parents' colleagues in the deep-sea hunter industry expressed their willingness to adopt you, who had become an orphan.]

[You smiled and expressed your wish to be your parents’ child through the handwriting in the little notebook.]

【The adults present all sighed and expressed their understanding. Your choice was actually completely within their expectations. After all, you were loved and cared for so much by your parents, how could you be adopted by someone else casually after their unfortunate death?】

[They expressed their understanding and respect for your choice, and said that if you need it, they are always available to help you and are willing to accept you as their family. ]

[You force a smile and nod, then write in the notebook that you will do it if needed.]

[Finally, you were discharged from the hospital and returned home, where you saw the flowers that had withered because no one was taking care of them, as well as the photos that recorded the beautiful memories and past between you and your parents.]

[Your mood cannot be simply described as sadness, because you feel as if a part of your heart has been dug out. ]

[I can no longer shed tears, and I feel as if I can no longer smile the gentle smile that came from my heart.]

[You look at yourself in the mirror, sitting in a wheelchair with a pale complexion, and try to smile as you used to, but in the end you only see bitterness and tears.]

【Finally, you chose to go to a monastery and were taken in as an orphan.】

[Although you are able to take care of yourself, the laws of Algeria do not allow you to live alone as a minor.]

【So in order to avoid being adopted, you chose to live in a monastery.】

[Here, after the old nuns learned about your situation, they all showed special sympathy for you and tried their best to take care of you. I hope that life here can heal the scars of your past.]

[The orphans here are also very sensible. No one will laugh at you because of your physical problems. ]

[You therefore truly integrated into their group in the same way as you did with your peers in the past, and became a kind of big sister to these children.]

[You still like flowers and are still gentle. ]

[After joining the monastery, I always help the old nuns take care of sick children and abandoned babies. ]

[In her free time, she would also plant flowers again with seeds she brought from home and give them to the children and old nuns.]

[You gradually grew up in the monastery.]

[As you grow up, your legs have regained some strength through exercise, allowing you to walk for a short time, and your voice has also recovered a little, allowing you to speak softly and even sing songs.]

[But you don’t feel very happy. After all, in your heart, your parents who can really share this joy with you can no longer see this.]

[Although the grief you felt from your parents’ passing has faded a lot over the years, it still pierces your heart like a thorn and takes away an important part of you.]

[Finally, when you become an adult, you choose to leave the monastery and open a flower shop near the monastery. In your free time, you often go to the monastery to help the old nuns.]

[When you have nothing to do, you will sit quietly in the store, read Agor's books, study new flower varieties, wait for occasional customers to come in, or give candies to children who accidentally break in and then send them away.]

[Your life becomes peaceful again. Flowers bloom and fall, spring goes and autumn comes. The wooden sign outside the door gradually becomes stained with color. The flowers outside the door change one batch after another, and the guests who come also change one batch after another.]

[You just sit in the store calmly, not doing anything extra, just treating every customer and child gently. When you are free, you get up and go to the monastery to help the old nuns without closing the store.]

[You gradually get used to this kind of life. Except for the occasional moment when you see a photo of your parents and you on the counter and then start to daydream, you think you have completely come out of it.]

[Your parents’ companions and neighbors would occasionally come to look after your business, visit you, and compliment you on how you resemble your mother.]

[Those children of your age who you once took care of would occasionally come to chat with you when they passed by here, and even a few would occasionally confess their love to you, but because there were both boys and girls, you regarded this as a joke and just laughed it off.]

[It seems that your life will probably continue peacefully like this in the future. ]

[But...people's fate is often like a dandelion blown away by the wind, seemingly ethereal and uncertain, but in fact some destinies are often already determined from the beginning.]

[When you bought some flower seeds from the merchant as usual and returned to the flower shop along the same route as usual.]

[As you walked back slowly, you saw a little girl in dirty clothes standing barefoot at the door of the flower shop, staring at the blooming white flowers you placed at the door with an expressionless face.]

[A pair of blood-red eyes carried a coldness and indifference that a child of her age should not have.]

[It seems like she doesn't care about anything anymore.]

[Even the bright spot in his eyes dimmed and was replaced by indifference. ]

[But you can see through those eyes the broken heart and the despair-like sadness of this silver-haired girl...]

[This aroused your empathy, making you unconsciously recall yourself when you lost your parents, and deeply touched the softest part of your heart. ]

You want to help her.

[This is true even though you can totally ignore her.]

So you decided...

……

[Disagreement 1: Go up to the other person and ask if there is anything wrong, and then try to help the other person.]

[Divergence 2: Walk to her side, gently touch her head, then take her into your cabin with a smile, and then "help" her well.]

[Disagreement 3: Be smarter and approach the other person carefully first, start by talking about the flowers they are looking at, and then try to invite them to sit in your flower shop for a while, showing your charm as a gentle and beautiful big sister.]

……

【please choose. 】

Chapter 78 Ekalos 'My sister's flower shop is quite big'

It’s a familiar choice of three, but this time it takes a little thought to choose which one.

After all, Ikaros's goal this time is to make the person being cultivated in the simulator regret for the rest of his life, so naturally he has to think about how to approach the person being cultivated at the most appropriate time, with the most suitable identity, and at the best distance.

Well...it would be better to become the other person's white moonlight, so that you can give yourself more distortion points.

According to the description of the simulator, the simulated object that appears is most likely one of the characters in the future deep-sea hunter camp.

Considering that the specific identity is unclear, the disagreement is too direct, and what he did is too ordinary. If he is unlucky, he may be ignored by the other party.

If there are two differences, let alone what that strange "help" means, just the fact that you brought the other party into the flower shop without saying anything will most likely completely destroy the impression you have in the other party's mind.

So in general, option three is the most reliable.

And isn’t it romantic to start the first communication between two people with a flower?

The most important thing for a person is the first impression, and Ikaros believes that after three divergences, the 'self' will give himself a satisfactory answer.

With a thought, everything around him shattered briefly, and then condensed again like a whirlpool with the second half used up. After a brief blur, Ikaros's vision came to a street with an extremely high level of technology tree, but still maintaining a certain retro style.

At the same time, I also saw the girl with long, smooth silver hair, looking at a pot of white flowers.

The light emitted by the simulated sun shines on the girl's head, making her silver hair seem to be glowing.

The girl was very cute, with fair and smooth skin, but she looked like a homeless person. Her white dress was torn and her cute little feet were exposed to the air with her delicate little toes curled up without shoes.

She was not very old, perhaps twelve or thirteen at most, but she did not have the liveliness and innocence that a child of her age should have.

Instead, it reveals a sense of loneliness, indifference to everything, and a chilling calmness...

She shouldn't be like this.

Ikaros felt a little distressed as he looked at the girl who seemed to be in another world.

——She saw in the other person what she was like after losing her parents.

The gentle girl wanted to help her.

Although this is not necessary.

"Are you looking at the flowers? This is a white lisianthus. It is pure and sincere. It is as beautiful as you, right?"

Quietly walking to the side of the girl, Ikaros looked at the girl and the flowers with his blue eyes, smiled and bent down, letting his long hair that seemed to be dyed by the sea with the faint scent of sea salt enter the girl's nose, and showed the small notebook with words written on it to the girl who noticed his arrival.

Ikaros had a gentle smile on her face, like an older sister entertaining her own sister, and when the girl's bloodshot eyes looked at her, she blinked cutely, with her other hand behind her back, trying her best to show the charm and kindness of an older sister.

The girl looked at the older sister who suddenly appeared beside her, emitting kindness and gentleness. She glanced at the words on the notebook she handed over and looked at her beautiful face.

After confirming that Ekaros had no ill intentions, she looked back at the white flower, nodded slightly, and replied to Ekaros in a cold and childish voice,

"Ah."

The girl was not as helpless as imagined, nor was she as completely indifferent as imagined.

Just a simple "hmm" made Ikaros feel a real chill.

Obviously, the child's problem seemed to be more serious than she had imagined.

Holding his face with one hand, he squatted down. Feeling a little tired, Ekaros slightly raised his head and looked at the girl's profile. He sighed in his heart, thought for a while, and then wrote a paragraph in the small notebook and handed it to the girl.

"You are so cold, but it doesn't matter. After all, you have to pay to see my flowers. I guess you don't have money now, right?"

Deliberately putting a wicked smile on his face, Ikaros wanted to test the girl's reaction by making a joke.

However, the girl was briefly stunned after seeing the contents of the notebook.

Then she seemed to be really thinking about something, sighed for a while, and took out a coin of the smallest denomination in Agor from her tattered dress, looked at Ekaros and said calmly:

"That's all I have. If it's not enough, I'll find a way later."

The girl's tone was calm but serious. She looked down at Ekalos, inexplicably giving people the feeling of a mature little adult.

The coin handed to Miss Ikaros made her stunned.

She was obviously just joking. After all, which flower shop would charge for viewing their flowers outside?

Even if Ikaros was confident that there was no better gardener than himself in the entire Agor (underwater), he would never do such a ridiculous thing.

This child... is a little strange, is there anything wrong with him?

Looking at the girl with some concern, Ekaros wrote something quickly and handed over the notebook in his hand.

"Well... I was just kidding. You don't need to pay to see the flowers, but if you can, why don't you come into my flower shop and sit for a while? There are also many beautiful flowers there."

Then, as if worried that the girl in front of him might misunderstand something, Ekaros quickly added a few more words to the notebook.

'Ah, you can refuse it, I don't mind, (*?▽?*)'

The ending comes with a cute emoticon, and Ikaros looks at the girl's choice with a smile and anticipation in his eyes.

Although Ikaros really wanted to help the girl in front of him, what if she rejected him?

Then Ikaros would not do anything forceful. After all, many times self-righteous help is often just wishful self-satisfaction.

Before understanding everything and the specific situation, Ikaros will only respect the girl's own choice.

Of course, even if he is rejected later, Ikaros will definitely pay more attention to this girl.

The girl looked at Ikaros, who was squatting in front of her, looking at her expectantly with his blue eyes. To be honest, she felt a little at a loss under his calm and indifferent expression.

After all, Ikaros was the first adult to have such an attitude after seeing himself like this.

Other adults either forcefully wanted to take her to the Maritime Administration, or tried to give her so-called "help" in an irresistible tone.

She had to admit that here in Ekalos, she felt respected and treated equally, and she didn't hate being with her. She even felt inexplicably comfortable with her.

This was the first time she had felt this way while being with someone else.

She didn't know how to describe the blue-haired woman in front of her.
