"Hey, Director, I'm just worried about you."

Finn explained with a worried look on his face, pulling out the bag hanging behind him, which contained a variety of seafood.

"It's called outdoor teaching, but we're worried you won't have enough to eat, so we dived into the river and hooked fish one by one!"

"...You're a nice person."

For fear that the children would not have enough to eat, they even prepared Boston lobsters. No wonder so much seafood can be caught in one river.

"Director, we can understand you putting salmon and lobsters on our hooks, but why do you put rings and high heels on them?"

"What high heels and rings?" Finn asked back with a confused look on his face.

"Hey, wasn't that you who did it?"

Yinggu was stunned, then looked at the rings and high heels in their hands, wondering where these things came from. Is this river an assembly line for producing gifts?

And at this moment, two more things floated into the river.

One was a muscular blond man, the other was a well-proportioned red-haired man, both of them were only in their underwear.

Yinggu smiled nonchalantly.

"Haha, this river really has everything... Gorillas and chickens are starting to float up here. Everyone, it's time to eat. Let's have some game."

"No," Bagster pointed out seriously, "that's obviously Sir Gawain and Sir Tristan."

Yinggu sighed, swung his fishing rod and caught the two half-dead Knights of the Round Table.

"Explain why you were in the river... No, why were you shirtless? Is this some kind of punishment for a social game?"

"It's hard to say, we were bullied by monkeys."

Gao Wen said with a look of shame on his face.

"While I was away, were you guys secretly playing Black Myth?"

"What black myth? We were bullied by the monkeys in the mountains." Tristan plucked the strings of his now-defunct harp. "We encountered a demonic pig stuck in a quagmire on the mountain. To protect our clothes from getting dirty, we stripped them all off. In the blink of an eye, the demonic apes in the mountains stole all our clothes. My harp and Gao Wenqing's rotating sword were all stolen."

"Then we chased them all the way, and ended up falling into a trap set by these demonic apes and being thrown into the river. After my analysis, I found that these guys are habitual criminals. They have been committing crimes in this mountain for a long time and often throw the stolen goods into the river."

"Oh……"

Ying Gu thought to himself, no wonder there are all kinds of things in this river, it turns out it was all done by this group of evil apes.

Wait a minute, doesn’t that mean that all my ingredients were stolen by them?

A dice suddenly fell.

Please pass an Agility check.

【Verification successful.】

You notice a slight movement behind you. It's quiet, but you're still able to detect it. Turning back, you see a group of sneaky demon apes, scooping fish from your buckets while you're chatting.

He and the demon ape were both stunned.

About a second later, Yinggu suddenly rushed forward.

"Hey, you bunch of thieves, stop right there!"

Chapter 46: Falling

[You discovered the culprit behind the disappearance of the ingredients: the demonic ape in the mountains.]

You rushed forward without hesitation to apprehend the culprit. The others also reacted, including Bavanshi, Tristan, and Finn, who all had higher agility attributes. They joined you in chasing after the demonic apes.

[However, the demon ape is also very fast and agile, tumbling nimbly through the densely lush trees. It is also more familiar with the terrain than you are, and it easily captures you.]

[Only then did you understand that Tristan and the others were not wronged in the face of the demon ape.]

You activated the skill "Leadership B"

【Verification successful.】

[Under your command, your team systematically intercepted the monkey's escape route and blocked its path.]

[Please pass another Dexterity check.]

A dice falls.

【Verification successful.】

Although you're now suffering from a cold, you're still running at a brisk pace, relentlessly pursuing the demon ape. After a fierce chase, you've successfully cornered the demon ape on a cliff face, with a turbulent river below. Even with its nimble hands and feet, it can't escape.

The river was surging and the demon ape standing on the edge of the cliff was at a loss.

Several people ran to it breathlessly, surrounded it, and did not give it any chance to escape.

Perhaps because of the cold, Yinggu felt that his physical exhaustion was particularly obvious.

"Give up! You're completely surrounded. Hand over our things honestly."

Yinggu said to the demon ape,

"Your mother back in Changbai Mountain was in tears when she saw this. She said she didn't give birth to you because she wanted to see you become a monkey like this. Do you know what the neighbors are saying about you after your stupid deeds got back to your hometown? Do you know how many bananas your father has to eat every day to keep his blood pressure down? He's already considered you his son for three years."

"Why are you adding so much drama to a monkey?" Bawanshi rolled her eyes.

"Look, your parents are standing across from you, crying their eyes out. Uncle and aunt, why don't you say something about it too?"

The demon ape, believing his parents had truly arrived, turned in the direction his gaze was pointing. Even Bavanshi and Tristan believed him and couldn't help but glance over.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yinggu decisively activated "Knight Cannot Die with Bare Hands EX", grabbed Tristan beside him, and swung him fiercely at the demon ape.

The Noble Phantasm unfolds, Cui's sadness!

"Dare to steal my things, go to hell!"

The demon ape was startled when he saw this, and immediately dodged to the right, barely avoiding his attack.

Yinggu did not intend to give up, but instead swung his sword at the demon ape, forcing it to the edge of the cliff.

And at this moment, a dice fell.

The point is EX, which means a big failure!

Ying Gu didn't remember what test he had just made, so why did he suddenly fail so badly at this time?

Wait a moment……

I remember at the very beginning, the deduction text said that there would be a hidden dice mechanism, and the dice rolled at that time would play a role at a certain moment.

Is it now?

"Yinggu, I'm here to help you!"

Finn roared.

"Let me, the leader of the Fianna Knights, do this magnificently and gracefully..."

Before he could finish his words, Finn accidentally stepped on the salmon dropped by the demon ape. The wet and slippery touch made his feet slip and he rolled over, flying all the way to the cliff.

No! ! ! !

"Director Finn!"

Yinggu's sympathetic cry was still echoing, and immediately turned into a cry of fear, because Finn, who rushed out of the cliff, grabbed his trouser leg at that moment.

Director Finn, if you want to fall, you can fall too, but don’t drag me down with you!

The other person was hanging straight on the edge of the cliff, and the heavy weight caused Yinggu to fall down, and he was about to fall into the cliff as well.

Before falling off the cliff, Yinggu shook off Cui Zhishang in a hurry, allowing him to hook onto Ba Wanxi's hand, and only then was he able to stabilize himself.

Finn pulled Yinggu, Yinggu pulled Bawanshi, and they fell down together.

"Let go, Director Finn! Don't drag me down with you!" he shouted anxiously. "Isn't it your teacher's duty to protect students? For the sake of your beloved students, just let go of this world in a carefree manner. A self-sacrificing man is the most handsome!"

"Student Yinggu, Director, I believe in your potential. You will definitely be able to pull me up!"

cried Finn, who was hanging on the cliff, and refused to let go of his foot.

"I don't believe it, you just want to drag me down with you, old man! How can there be someone as selfish as you!"

"I should be the one saying this to you," Bawanxi, who was being held by Yinggu, struggled forward. "Let go! I don't want to die with you!"

"It's okay, Bawanxi. If I die, I will take you with me when I die," Yinggu said.

"Are you still a man?"

"A man must desperately struggle with reality until the very last moment! I must survive to the end, no matter what, even if it's only for a minute or a second!"

"I thought so too!" said Finn.

"I'm not talking to you, get out!"

The three of them were pulling each other back and forth on the edge of the cliff. At first, Yinggu could barely keep his balance. However, at this moment, Ba Wanxi, who was being pulled by him, accidentally stepped on the salmon that fell on the ground. Her body suddenly leaned back uncontrollably and collided with Yinggu.

"Ahhhhhhh!" Bawanshi exclaimed.

Finn, Inggu, Bavanshi, and Cui Zhi's sadness fell into the river together.

"Do not!!!!"

The screams of the crowd echoed in the valley.

With a splash, they all fell into the water.

……

You sank to the bottom of the water.

You struggled desperately, and seemed to hear Bagster's voice.

[In a trance, the cold and fast-flowing river water makes you see some illusions. ]

You see the calendar rapidly turning over. Spring is about to end, and the remaining summer, winter and autumn are just a blink of an eye.

No matter how beautiful things are, they will eventually leave. No matter how close your friends are, they will eventually part ways. After that, you will say goodbye to the entire school, attend the graduation ceremony, and walk towards the end of your life.

In the darkness, foam rose to the surface.

[One year, you only have one year in your life, cherish the remaining time and protect the people you cherish,]

[Mochizuki Eiko, what kind of life do you want to live? ]

It seemed like I heard someone say this.

"Yinggu...?"

It was hazy, and it seemed as if someone was calling me.

Something was pressing hard against his chest, squeezing the water out of his lungs.

"Yinggu, Yinggu!"

The pressure was so strong that Yinggu felt like his bones were about to break.

I felt something prying my lips open and someone was giving me artificial respiration.

He opened his eyes in confusion.

Morgan?

For a moment, he saw the pale moon in the sky and Morgan's beautiful and peaceful face. He was resting his head on her lap, and she gently pushed aside his bangs.

——But that was just an illusion.

He blinked and saw that it was a sunny day in the suburbs, with sunlight refracting through the dense leaves.

What came into view was Bagster's beautiful face right in front of him, his blue-green eyes shining like gemstones, and his wet hair falling on his face.

Bagster's cherry lips pressed against his, and he breathed into his mouth amateurishly but seriously, with a hint of river water remaining on his soft lips.

She's giving herself artificial respiration!
