Chapter 409 Chapter 406 · "Take me...home, okay?"

  Luna came and went quickly.

  Su Mingan watched her leave, and suddenly heard Naruo's voice.

   She seemed to not understand their conversation about "player" and "eighth world" at all, and her voice was still calm.

   "Rin." She said, her voice particularly clear in the light wind: "...I want to go home."

   "Let's go, I'll let Soul Hunter arrange a boat for you to go back to." Su Mingan said.

   It is noon now, and his specialization skills have stopped at lv.2 and cannot be improved.

   It seemed that Naraku could only teach him a limited amount of content, so he could only help him improve one level, and subsequent teaching would be just a waste of time.

   However, specialization skills, even if they are upgraded by one level, are amazing. He already has a sense of superiority of "playing wherever you want", although this is 80% an illusion...

   The current harvest is enough, he has to make up for sleep in the afternoon, and then meet the final level in the evening, and board the city tomorrow.

  Since Naraku wants to go home, then take her home early. After all, she is from the Yate Empire, and even if something happens to the Yate, he can send her back.

   He turned around and saw the girl standing on the hill with her back to him.

   The red hair behind her was still gorgeous, dragging to her waist like a fine flame, swaying brightly and dazzlingly in the breeze.

   When she heard his words, she turned back, her eyes flashing a little blank.

   "What home?" she said.

   "Yate Empire, if you want to go back, you can go back with the merchant ship." Su Ming'an said: "You don't have any relatives here, and the living environment is very bad. There is no need for you to stay here."

   "..." She looked at him blankly, her eyes were unprecedentedly clear, as if all the emotions in her eyes were suddenly erased.

   "My home is the Empire of Art?" she said.

   As soon as Su Mingan realized something was wrong, he saw her suddenly "puchi" with a smile.

"Just kidding, Rin." She said, "I don't want to go back, it's good here. Doya and the others are very polite, and they also gave me free housing and living resources. Compared with that, I need to be cautious and emphasize etiquette everywhere. I would rather stay in this free land...at least..."

   With a move in her hand, out of nowhere, she took out her very lamely dancing spear.

   "…At least here, I can still accompany my gun," she said softly.

   She seemed to omit half a sentence.

   In addition to the gun, she seems to want to accompany something else.

   "Rin, are you leaving tomorrow? Go to that city in the sky?" she asked.

   "Well, there's a high probability that I won't come back again." Su Ming'an said.

  According to the urine nature of the dungeon, he will definitely end the plot after he goes up, and then end the dungeon, there is no chance to come down again.

   "...I will remember you." She said, "I will always remember you."

   She looked over.

   "Even if I forget everyone and everything...Even if I'm so old that I can't even see my eyes...I will still remember you."

she says.

   The ends of her eyes were slightly curved, and the heat contained in her eyes brewed together as if they were scalded.

   Let those who are looking at her be able to perceive that rather straightforward, undisguised joy.

  Since the sinking of the Yat, Su Mingan has never seen her smile so happily, as if she had liberated all restraints.

   This girl, who has been lightning strike since the beginning of the dungeon, pointed at his nose and yelled at Miss Jiaoman. At this time, she was as clean as a gust of wind.

   If it was someone else, she would definitely think that she had grown up in the disaster and became more rational.

   But in fact, she has never changed.

   She might be fine here.

   "Your years are still very long." Su Ming'an said: "I wish you meet a better person."

  Nana lowered her head.

   Her eyes were crystal clear when she raised her head.

   "Then, bye."

she says.

   "Goodbye." Su Ming'an said.

"I am leaving, and I will not go to your farewell ceremony tomorrow. In the future, I will live happily in Praia, dancing guns, carving wood carvings, drinking rice wine... Maybe, I will also become a The heroic soul hunter, find a handsome guy who loves me." Naruo said, "There will never be a woman who loves you so much in the world, and no one will love you like Miss Ben again. chance?"

   "Naruo." Su Mingan repeated: "I'm not Su Rin. Su Rin may have liked you, but I don't like you."

   He knew that she didn't understand this, she was an unawakened NPC, and she couldn't understand why the player became Su Rin.

   He just wanted to emphasize that he was not the original Su Rin, and should not be her favorite object at all.

   What she likes should be Kaia, who fled to the Yate Empire, and the young master of the Su family who is her childhood sweetheart.

   When he said these words, he saw that there was no wave in her eyes.

   "Do you think this miss misses your love?"

   Her emotions suddenly violently rioted, as if provoked by his words: "—Miss Ben told you, get out of the way in the future!"

   She turned and walked away, walking extremely fast, as if running away, her voice waving in the wind like a elf.

   She didn't turn her head back, as if there was no room for anyone to save.

   The fiery red spear swayed slightly in her hand, like the vertical tail of a flaming bird.

   When her figure was about to disappear completely from his sight, her steps stopped for a moment, and her tiny voice came from the wind.

   "Get a good night's sleep," she said. "Climb up to that city and... end the disaster on this land."

The    system prompt sounded:

  …

  【NPC (Naraku), favorability: 85+5 (Enduring Love)】

  …

  Su Mingan returned to the East District to supplement his sleep.

  No accident, until the end of the dungeon, he will no longer have the opportunity to sleep.

  The seventh world, the most crucial last day, is coming.

   He fell asleep very quickly while thinking.

   seemed to sink into a dark and sweet dream in an instant. He was extremely tired and fell asleep very fast. Even when he was lying on a poor bed, his body felt like he was on a soft cloud.

  Complicated thoughts quickly fade and disappear during sleep.

  Sleep allows one to escape from the clutter of thoughts, escape everything, and fall into pure tranquility.

  —until evening.

   Someone knocked on his door.

   "Lord Su Rin."

   He woke up from his deep sleep and opened the door.

   At this time, it was close to night, and the blood-red sunset sprinkled on the gradually thawing river, like a thick blood road.

   Outside the door, Doya, the deputy minister, was standing there with a brilliant sunset.

   Her face, which was always full of smiles, was in a complicated mood at this time.

   "I'm sorry to disturb your rest. But...you'd better come here and take a look."

  …

  Su Mingan saw Naruo again who had bid farewell to him.

  When he saw the girl sitting in the room with dull eyes across the door, his footsteps stopped.

   When he saw this, he thought he was wrong.

  Naraku is a lively, generous girl, like a dazzling flame. She is extremely courageous and has an adventurous spirit in her nature, as if she is not afraid of the sky and the earth.

   She is the brightest shade of color in a land of grey tones, seemingly always alive.

  Thinking of her, the deepest impression is her flaming red hair, like a flame that will never go out.

  …but now.

   But this time.

   Across the door, he saw the girl whose eyes were still dull with the help of the medical soul hunter, and his movement of pushing the door froze.

   "Don't go in yet, she is receiving treatment." Doya said softly.

"What's up with her?"

  "..." Doya was silent for a while.

   When she spoke again, her voice became even lighter: "Lord Su Rin. The pearls in the underground treasure house of the royal city that can restore one's appearance... can only restore their appearance."

  “…”

  Su Mingan looked inside through the small window on the door.

  The girl in the door, her face is still young, there are no wrinkles on her face, and her skin is still as delicate and white as pearls.

   However, the drooping white hair and the cloudy eyes have already hinted at everything.

  Princess's experiments on her have captured her vitality and soul. Even with pearls to restore her appearance, her life is still inevitably coming to an end.

   This is an inevitable passage, from life to death, no one can save it.

"Her condition has suddenly deteriorated, maybe she has been holding on before. And this kind of strong support has depleted her little remaining vitality." Doya sighed: "This child... has been pretending to be nothing, if not She passed out on the side of the road and we have no idea what happened to her."

   "How is she doing now?"

"There's nothing wrong with her physical condition, but it's obvious that her mental problems are very serious. Her soul is damaged, like a bag with a hole that can't be plugged at all." Doya said: "The obvious situation is... She She seems to be demented. Now she doesn't seem to respond to anything, even if we talk to her, she seems to forget everything. It's a symptom of a depleted soul, and it's starting to eat into her brain... She should , it won't last long."

  Su Mingan looked inside the door.

   The white-haired girl who was motionless sat on the chair, her eyes blank.

   is like being locked in his own world.

   Since yesterday, Naraku's memory has started to have problems. When she came over with an umbrella yesterday, she said nothing without a beginning.

  【Everyone is mortal. 】

   He remembered what she said.

  It was just that, after just one afternoon, her condition deteriorated to this point.

  Medical Soul Hunter is trying to communicate with her: "Miss, Miss? Can you hear what I said? Do you remember what happened to you?"

  Naraku shook his head blankly.

   "Miss, what do you remember?" The medical soul hunter was patient: "Age, hometown, even... your name?"

   "...I don't remember." Naraku looked confused: "I don't remember."

"She doesn't even remember her name, Deputy Minister." Medical Soul Hunter sighed, straightened up, and looked at Duoya who was standing at the door: "She should have lost all her memories, and the next step is Loss of five senses..."

  Medical Soul Hunter suddenly saw Naruto move.

  The silly girl who had been sitting on a chair since she woke up suddenly stood up.

   And the legendary Lord Su Rin was standing outside the door, looking at her.

   "Do you remember my name?" he asked.

Doya next to    shook his head: "It's useless, my lord, she doesn't even remember her own name..."

   "Rin."

  The silent girl suddenly spoke.

   When she called out the name, her voice was choked up, and she couldn't tell whether she wanted to cry or laugh.

   light spilled in finely and into her somewhat faded eyes. She straightened up suddenly and staggered toward the door.

  —until she opened her arms as if to embrace the blue sky.

The    breeze blew up her long pale hair, her blood-red coat, her swaying gown and swinging skirt.

   At this moment, between heaven and earth, she seemed to be blown away by the wind.

  …

   [Listen, Su Rin. 】

  【I don't care if you are behind the scenes or why the Att sank, I just know - you saved me, and I like you too. 】

  【—I think even if I grow old like this and lose my ears, I won’t be able to hear your name clearly. 】

  【Even if I forget everyone and everything...Even if I get so old that I can't even see my eyes...I will still remember you. 】

  …

  The girl with fluttering white hair smiled while looking at the area where no one was standing.

   "Rin." She said the name to the air, with childlike joy on her face.

   Through those faded eyes.

   She seemed to be able to see that in the uninhabited area, the young man was standing at the boundary between sunlight and shadow, holding flowers and looking back at her.

   It takes at least ten days to travel from Praia to the Yate Empire.

   She was too late.

   So she "doesn't want to go home".

   It takes half a day to walk from the hillside of the southern district to the residential area.

   She was too late.

   So she "don't come to see me".

   She knew her physical condition very clearly, knew her inevitable ending, and knew that she would never be able to return to that land again, and she wanted to die in a foreign land.

   Therefore, anger and lies have become a barrier for her to refuse to hurt others, and she is unwilling to approach anyone in the few days.

   But at this moment,

  She suddenly, suddenly wanted to come to his side.

  …

  Su Mingan watched this scene silently.

   He watched her long pale hair blown by the wind, saw her old-fashioned eyes revealing childlike joy, and watched her staggering steps from inside to outside the door.

   "Rin."

  The girl said to the air:

   "Take me...home. Will you?"

  Su Ming'an looked at the photo necklace and wood carving he put in the lattice of his backpack.

   He seemed to keep losing.
