In Terra, she is a hunter and a bad woman.

Maria looked at the girl in front of her silently.

"I shouldn't say too much, but... Lamaren, I feel I need to explain something about my disappearance."

Maria whispered, her voice drifting in the wind.

Aifanil on the side also paused for a few seconds, then silently chose to leave.

He actually wanted to know what was going on, but... considering his parents' behavior, he felt that he was not suitable to be here.

Let's leave the rest of the time to them.

Exhale, pause.

Maria silently looked at the face of the beauty in front of her that was gradually illuminated by the sunlight. She could clearly see the hesitation and uneasiness that Ramalen showed at this moment.

The sun gradually rose behind her. This should have been a scene full of hope, but Ramalen could not see Maria's face clearly.

Compared with the bright sun, the dim and introverted moon seems to be more suitable for Maria's temperament.

The wind gradually blew through the clothes of the two people, blowing the hems of their clothes and the surrounding branches, making them sway gently.

Theoretically, at this moment, Maria has returned to her normal timeline, and at this time, she can live a normal life with Lamaren.

But... she wasn't sure if this was the final outcome.

Godan's problem has never been resolved.

Maria was not sure where she would go after the final battle with the other party, and how everything would change.

Perhaps her power will get out of control, perhaps she will go back to the distant past... but, she may also run to an unpredictable future.

Maria might even take the step she least wants to take and completely lose her humanity!

It's all possible.

If it was in the past, it would be fine.

With her life, she would one day return to this era, but…Maria knew her own character.

If I really go back to the past, I will definitely appear in front of my present self and explain everything to ensure the normal progress of history.

But... now I don’t see anything.

There are many possibilities... I could defeat Godan, and my power wouldn't get out of control, and I could still live happily with Ramalen in the future. Or maybe I could be defeated by Godan, and everything would end...

Things could get better, or they could get really bad…

When it comes to facing the future, Maria is just like ordinary people, full of unknowns about everything.

But no matter what the specific situation was, Maria felt that she should make it clear to Ramalen.

The girl had been waiting for her for hundreds of years, and she deserved to know more.

"..."

Lamaren paused when she heard Aunt Mary's words.

She seemed to understand why Maria showed such...such complicated emotions.

Maria was not sure if she could continue to stay with Ramalen... She still had things to do, and the reunion at this time was still only temporary.

In fact, after hearing Maria's explanation, she also showed some uneasiness.

But this uneasiness did not make her hesitate for too long.

In just a few moments, her body made the decision for her brain.

She walked up slowly, forcing Maria to look at her at eye level.

The sunlight was no longer dazzling, and she was once again at eye level with Maria.

"You really..."

Lamaren gently extended her hand.

The slightly cool fingers slowly pressed against Maria's side, and the slender thumb gently slid across the side of Maria's face. There was also a bit of indescribable tenderness in his eyes.

"Maria..."

Lamaren whispered, just as she had called in the garden decades ago, but this time, she received a response.

"At least, at this moment, I am here."

The words that should have been firm sounded hesitant and weak in Maria's mouth at this moment.

Lamaren paused, then laughed helplessly.

"So...what are you worried about?"

"..."

"Are you worried that we'll never see each other again?"

Lamaren's voice was very soft.

Like a mother coaxing her child, her fingers gradually slid from Maria's face to her slightly pale lips.

"No, your blood is flowing in my body~"

Ramalen smiled.

After all these years, how could she not realize how powerful the blood Maria gave her was?

Even though banshees are a race that doesn't age easily, Ramalen's current condition is still too exaggerated.

Her age seemed to be frozen at the moment when Mary gave her blood.

The life span that was originally only a moment seemed to be extended to infinity.

Ramalen could hardly even notice the changes around her.

And such a life is enough to support her to continue waiting.

She also believed that Maria would live longer than herself.

That being the case.

So what's there to be afraid of?

The two people will eventually meet each other.

There is only one way to stop two people from continuing to meet.

Maria died in the past...

After much thought, for Maria, who has the ability to jump through time, it seems that only this will result in the two people never meeting each other again in the future.

"Will this happen?"

Ramalen asked.

But Maria remained silent, lowered her head, and murmured.

"I do not know."

Maria knew that the best answer to give at this time was yes.

I'm sure the two will meet again...

That's a flattering answer... but it's not the real answer.

"Then don't think about it."

Lamaren smiled and did not continue to dwell on the topic here. Instead, she held Maria's face and made her look at her.

Looking at Maria's slightly troubled little face, she reached out and rubbed her cheek like a naughty child.

Seeing Maria still looking worried, she reluctantly put down her hand.

Maria's worries, after all, are actually just because of one thing.

responsibility.

Maria is not sure whether she can bear the responsibilities of family and love.

There are still too many dangerous things waiting for her to solve, and facing these things, Maria is not sure if she can really get out of it unscathed.

She was not sure whether she could be a qualified father or a suitable lover.

She is full of confusion about the future...

but……

“The future itself is something that cannot be predicted.”

Lamaren smiled and slowly put her arms around Maria's waist.

The two bodies were pressed tightly together, their eyes meeting at close range, conveying a calm emotion.

"So why dwell on something that didn't happen?"

"...You might be waiting for a very long time."

Maria whispered, her voice a little stiff.

But at this moment, Ramalen slowly smiled.

"Sometimes, it's good to be a little selfish, isn't it?"

The quiet and slow heartbeat can only be heard at this time.

Lamaren looked at the conflicted Maria, took a deep breath, and then spoke slowly but firmly.

"I like you... not for a response."

"I love you just because I love you."

"I would also look forward to your response, and I did get your response... I am already very happy."

"I wouldn't say that this is enough... In fact, I want more. I hope we can be together longer, and you can be with me, watching our child grow up, watching him find someone he loves, and then have children..."

"But I also know, Maria, you still have unfinished business, right?"

Ramalen was a very smart woman. She noticed Maria's dilemma and responded firmly.

She wants the family to be together, but she hopes even more that Maria can accomplish what she wants to do.

and so……

"Don't worry about it, just do what you think you should do."

Ramalen's voice was soft, but it revealed an indescribable determination.

She loved Maria, not for any response.

But... if this feeling makes Maria hesitant, conflicted, and timid, then she would rather not say it out!

She had long been accustomed to waiting. In that case, what would happen if she waited a little longer?

only need to……

"After everything is done...you must make it up to me."

She whispered, her voice very soft.

Maria also paused at this time.

Feeling the soft body of the lovely girl in my arms.

She was silent and slowly hugged her arms back.

"Thank you."

……

"..."

Aifanil stood in the distance, looking at his parents hugging each other, and also let out a sigh.

This should be considered a solution, right?

To be honest, Aifanil didn't know how to say this.

His parents are not simple people, and because of this, their relationship is destined to go through various problems.

And for all this, Aifanil could only watch.

But at this moment, several footsteps were slowly heard.
