I, Tsugumi Yuichiro, must do something

She seemed to be convinced by Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's words, but the thought of this made her feel even more sad.

If she said that, it seemed as if her mother, whom she had always respected and revered, was really keeping her here to be tortured.

As if he could see what Betty was thinking, Ji Guoyuan squatted down and smiled at her gently.

"Don't think too much. If I'm guessing correctly, your mother is not what you think she is."

"What does that look like?!"

Betty was like a drowning person grabbing at the last straw. She was unwilling to believe that her mother was deliberately torturing her.

"The Greedy Witch knows your character very well. I think the reason she asked you to guard the Forbidden Library and made you make a promise is actually to let you make this decision and breakthrough on your own."

"I didn't keep the so-called destined person, simply because the Greedy Witch doesn't know what kind of person you will choose."

"Actually, this promise is very simple. As long as it's someone you approve of and are willing to leave with, then that person is destined for you."

"The so-called promise ends here."

Tsugumi Yuichiro expressed his thoughts, and if nothing unexpected happened, then this should be the most reasonable explanation.

Betty stood there in a daze, as if she was shocked by the ideas expressed in Ji Guoyuan's words.

"How is it possible... Have these four hundred years of my life been a complete waste of wishful thinking?"

Betty muttered to herself, and her expression became as if she was doubting life.

Chapter 83: Let’s Sign a Contract

Tsugumi Yuichiro smiled gently and stretched out his hand, placing it flat in front of Betty.

"Since we have been here for so long, why not give it a try?"

It can be said that Tsugikuni Yoshiichi really sympathizes with Betty.

Although the Forbidden Library is very spacious and contains many books.

But staying here for four hundred years is no less than being in prison. Normally, no one speaks at all.

Even occasionally, people like Rem or Ram would accidentally wander in.

But that situation is very rare. Every day, Betty repeats the same routine of reading books day after day.

She has read almost all the books in the forbidden library.

But she still couldn't get rid of the torment brought by this kind of life. It is no exaggeration to say that Betty even thought about committing suicide to escape this fate.

But in the end, he still couldn't bear to do such a thing.

It is conceivable how painful this kind of life is for Betty.

"Come and give it a try. If you need my help, please don't hesitate. After all, you are my 'teacher', right?"

Tsugumi Yuichiro smiled gently and encouraged Betty softly.

Betty looked at the palm in front of her, and subconsciously wanted to reach out her hand, but she was a little hesitant.

"Is it really possible?"

"I'm not entirely clear on the specifics of what needs to be done, but I think I'm right about your mother's wishes."

"So, you just need to do what you want in your heart."

As Tsugikuni Yoriichi spoke, Betty shook her lower lip slightly, with hesitation flashing in her eyes. However, hundreds of years of loneliness finally made Betty make up her mind.

"Are you willing to sign a contract with me? After signing the contract, I think I can say goodbye to this place."

"Contract? Of course it's possible, as long as you want."

Although they didn't have much contact time, Tsugikuni Yoriichi had a very good understanding of Betty's personality.

Although this little girl is sometimes a little arrogant, she is generally very kind.

This kindness also made Betty stay in the entire forbidden library and not choose to escape her original promise.

So there is no need to worry about his character.

As for the contract, Yoshikazu Tsugakuni also had some understanding of it, as if he had heard about it from Emilia before.

By signing a contract with an elf, you can borrow the elf's power to fight, but you also need to provide your elf with magic.

It can be said that there is nothing unreasonable about this contract. It is just a simple cooperation or friendship, so there is no need to take it too seriously.

"Come and try. If you can, you can escape this life and go to the capital with us."

Tsugikoku Yoshiichi spoke gently, filling Betty's eyes with hope and longing.

Betty nodded, and a faint light began to bloom at her fingertips.

A magic circle began to form in the soft palm of Yuichiro Tsugikuni's hand.

This is the magic circle needed for the contract, which can make the two people come together.

As the light of the contract grew brighter, Tsugikuni Yoshiichirō could feel an inexplicable bond connecting himself and Betty.

With the emergence of this bond, the relationship between the two seems to have become closer, and they seem to be able to vaguely feel each other's thoughts in their hearts.

"The contract has been signed..."

Betty's face flushed slightly as she spoke softly.

Jiguo Yuanyi took Betty's hand and smiled at her gently.

"So now, let's go and try it, shall we?"

As he spoke, Tsugikoku Yoichi took Betty's hand and walked out of the Forbidden Library.

Unless there are special circumstances, Betty cannot leave the Forbidden Library.

The two came to the door of the Forbidden Library. Although the door was open, it seemed as if there was an invisible door, which made Betty hold Tsugakuin Yoshiichi's hand tightly.

"It's okay, I'm here."

Feeling Betty's nervousness, Ji Guoyuan responded by squeezing her little hand.

"Ah."

Betty pursed her lips twitchingly, nodded seriously, and as if she had mustered up the courage, she and Ji Guoyuan took a step at the same time and walked out of the door of the Forbidden Library.

As the two of them walked, there seemed to be no changes in the entire forbidden library.

It was as if everything was no different from usual, and there was no unusual movement after Betty's departure.

"It seems... really okay?"

Betty looked back at the Forbidden Library with some uncertainty and spoke subconsciously.

"Let's try somewhere farther away. After all, this is just the door."

Holding Betty's hand, without waiting for her to say anything, Ji Guoyuan opened the window, took her hand, and easily flew into the sky.

It was the first time that Betty was so far away from the Forbidden Library, and her expression was obviously a little excited, but there was also a hint of uneasiness in this excitement.

"Is there really no problem..."

"Do not worry."

As Jiguo Yuanyi spoke gently, the two of them moved faster and faster.

The altitude was getting higher and higher, and I could see the manor below my feet was getting smaller at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It was not until the two of them flew a long distance and the manor became a small dot in their eyes that Betty became completely excited.

The excited little face was filled with an irrepressible smile of joy.

Compared with the previous ones, these smiles were obviously more heartfelt and more cheerful.

After so many years, she was finally able to take a good look at this new world and feel the surprises it brought.

"Four hundred years...it's already been four hundred years..."

Betty looked at the mountains and forests below her feet and the scenery in the distance. She couldn't help but feel her eyes red and sobbed softly.

But her red eyes were filled with joy.

After so many years, the nightmare that even forced her to want to end it all with death is finally coming to an end.

She was finally able to leave the Forbidden Library like a normal person, and enjoy herself and experience everything in this colorful world.

If this had happened before, she would never have dared to even think about it.

If it weren't for Tsugakuni Yoriichi, she didn't even know how long she would have to stay in the Forbidden Library. Perhaps until the end of her life, she would never be able to leave that nightmare-like place.

"Thank you... Thank you. If it weren't for you, I would never have seen these views..."

Chapter 84: Shocked People

"You don't have to thank me for anything. If you want to say it, you should thank yourself."

"If you hadn't persisted all this time, perhaps you wouldn't have been able to see these beautiful views."

Ji Guoyuan smiled, feeling quite relieved that he could help Betty.

"Since you no longer have to guard the Forbidden Library, you can live with us from now on."

"Let me introduce myself again. My name is Yuichi Tsugikoku. I hope you can give me your guidance in the future..."

Looking at the smile on Ji Guoyuan's face, Betty's eyes were filled with joy and she nodded vigorously.

"Please give me some advice!"

. . . . . .

After solving the problem that had troubled Betty for hundreds of years, the two returned to the manor.

Betty returned to the Forbidden Library and looked at everything familiar. She couldn't help but have countless scenes flash through her eyes.

She lived in this place for hundreds of years.

Although this kind of life is like a prison to her, it is extremely torturous.

But now that I am leaving, I still feel a little reluctant and nostalgic.

"Bye, say goodbye. We're going to say goodbye to this place soon."

After Roswaal's judgment, it will not be so easy to come back here.

It can be said that this is almost the last time we see each other.

"Ok, I know."

"What happened today was like a dream. I still can't believe that I can actually leave here."

Standing in front of the door of the Forbidden Library, Betty spoke as if in a dream.

The little hand held Tsugikoku Yoshiichi tightly, as if she was afraid that if she let go, this beautiful dream would wake her up.

"It's okay, it won't be a problem once you get used to it."

As the two were talking, they suddenly heard footsteps in the corridor behind them. Turning around, they saw Rem walking towards them.

But when she saw Betty appear in the corridor, Rem's expression was obviously stunned, as if she had seen something incredible.

"Be...Betty?!"

"You are from the Forbidden Library..."

Rem didn't finish her words, but the shocked look in her eyes said it all.

Apparently, Rem found it difficult to understand why Betty appeared outside the Forbidden Library.

"Betty no longer needs to stay in the Forbidden Library. In two days, she will go with us to the capital to start a new life."

As Jiguo Yuanyi explained, Betty beside him also smiled.

"I have signed a contract with Yunyi, and Yunyi is now a spirit user."

There was a hint of pride and deep joy in that childish voice.

"Is that so?"

Rem looked at Yoriichi Tsugakuni with a complicated expression. She had also learned about Betty's situation from Roswaal.

Only after waiting for the person who took hundreds of years to appear, Betty was able to escape from the Forbidden Library as a prostitute.
