"Don't...I want to hold you for a while longer."

"You, you will never grow up like this? Such an adult is still clinging to his mother, and he will be laughed at when he is seen."

As for her daughter, who was holding her back, Origami's mother just smiled and shook her head and lectured to Origami. She was not unaware of part of the situation, but she didn't know the specific situation either.

Therefore, she didn't know that today was actually "now", so she just treated her only daughter as always.

But it is this attitude that is no different from usual, such an extremely bland time, but Origami has once again obtained great redemption, but... the faint pain in the depths of the heart is a little hard to ignore.

The parents of the elves such as Yoshino and Niya were also resurrected in the modified world, and they were no longer disturbed by the pain of separation from parent and child, but if it took too long, there would be some problems.

For example, Erya became an elves about 27 years ago, and her parents are now old, but Erya has not changed.

Whether to grant them immortality is also a question for Yongye. Immortality does not mean that everything is a good thing. Therefore, Yongye plans to slowly observe and make decisions based on the current situation, so that they can obtain a dull happiness in the past, and further. For the time being, I don't want to think about it so much, because no matter what, there is no perfect thing in the world, and forcing beautiful perfection will only lead to more unwholesome things happening.

Although the memory is cleaned every once in a while, it will not be bothered by too long years, but it is also equivalent to denying everything in the past and making everything in the past meaningless. What is the meaning of such immortality? Mandatory happiness can also be achieved, but after all, it is only false, and it also has no meaning.

The ability is too great, and sometimes the problems that need to be troubled will become strange, so the things that Yongye is worried about now are quite strange, and it is also difficult to come up with answers.

Speaking of taking away the elves, this idea did not appear in his mind. After all, he was going to the battlefield when he went back.

And there is no doubt that he does not intend to bring the elves to the battlefield. Although the fighting power of elves is not too strong in many worlds, it is definitely not weak, but Yongye still never thought about letting them The reason for participating in the war is also very simple, because they are different from the fifteen specialized wars such as the Flügel, and it can even be said that they are different races created for war... They are not suitable for the battlefield at all.

Elf girls are generally kind and will not kill people even if they are actively attacked. How can such kind people adapt to the cruel battlefield? Unless they are all changed, right?

However, Yong Ye did not hold out hope to change them.

There may be a very naive, even ridiculous idea in his heart, wanting to create a world where all the people he cherishes can be redeemed.

Since the hands of the girl who are still like children are stained with blood, and they gradually become numb in the process of killing, isn't this putting the cart before the horse?

Volume 12: Return Chapter 1 The first stop on the way back home

For Zhenna, who promised not to leave, Yong Ye was very troubled about how to arrange it. In the process of working at DEM Company, Zhenna kept hunting and killing Kuangsan's clones, and now she is a little numb, but even so She also did not really become a qualified soldier.

Because her numbness is equivalent to mental wear and tear, this child who is only thirteen years old has been subjected to excessive pressure. If she continues to fear, she will collapse, so it is naturally impossible for Yongye to take her to the battlefield.

Yong Ye gave Mana the spiritual crystallization of this world and made Mana become a spirit. At the same time, she cautiously asked her what kind of past and what kind of present she wanted, but she... did not want to change her past.

"...Because, no matter how you change what they once did, it won't really disappear, at least in my memory, even if you forcefully change their thinking, it's just an illusion, so...there's nothing to change. "

Chong Gongzhen said this with a little haze, rejecting the opportunity that most people dream of, that can change the past, on the contrary, he looked at Yong Ye and made a different request.

"Master Yong Ye is, can't you stay?"

"...Sorry, I can't."

For what he promised, he has to go back on it now, which makes Yong Ye's face somewhat ashamed.

However, Mana did not make things difficult for him in this regard, but tentatively asked, "Can you take me away? Will I hold back?"

"...The belt is capable, but..."

"—Okay, I understand, then I'll wait here for a while. Anyway, Miss Tohka is here, so you should come back early."

Yong Ye was half silent, and after letting Zhena interject at the right time, he just smiled and didn't say any more, and chose to be here with Tohka for the time being.

There is a big difference between Tohka and other elves, because there are only Tohka except for Chong Gong Mio. The other elves were originally human beings with parents, but Tohka is a life that automatically evolves from spirit crystals.

"Yongye is too much! You don't even take me!"

Zhenna was silent, but it was Tohka's turn to attack, so Yong Ye spread his hands with some helplessness and said, "So as an apology... I bought a food court for you, is it okay?"

"Dang, of course not! I don't just want to eat!"

Tohka is still arguing, but Yongye has nothing to do. After all, he doesn't know how to deal with this kind of thing. Instead, Zhenna replaced Yongye and comforted Tohka, "Lord Yongye is not. Going to travel is going to fight, so it’s a matter of course that there’s no way to bring people along, right?”

"I-I can fight too!"

"Yes, but it's not enough, is it?"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Tohka pouted and became troubled.

She understood, but couldn't let it go.

If there is encounter, there will be parting, which is inevitable. Although this expression is outdated, it is undoubtedly a truth.

Encounter and parting are interdependent words. No matter how close the relationship is, people will one day usher in the moment of parting. Everyone knows this, and Tohka also knows that.

But the truth is the truth, but the human heart is something that even oneself cannot control.

Yong Ye, who was in distress, gave a compromise plan in a timely manner, and gave a convenient and acceptable statement: "...Don't worry, I will make the time in this world slow down, the outside world is here for one day a year, maybe you I came back the next day when I woke up? Not even a meal.”

"Oh, oh! So it's still like this!" Tohka swept away her previous depression and raised her head again.

"Well~ that's very good news." Zhenna nodded vigorously with her arms crossed, also looking very satisfied.

In the imagination of the two of them, if it is like one day in a year, it might only be a few hours and a half day, and the big deal is that they will come back in two or three days.

After all, in the concept of ordinary people, a year is a very long time, especially one is only thirteen years old, and the other... probably not yet thirteen.

"Then, I'll leave first. If there is a chance... we'll see you in a while, and apologize to the other children for me before that."

Yong Ye breathed a sigh of relief, took a step back, and disappeared without a sound, disappearing from the apartment.

He didn't say that, in fact, he adjusted it every 100 years, not every 10 years, so that there would be a lot of time to buffer.

Appearing on the iron tower in the distance, looking at the apartment that was bought, Yong Ye planned to leave this place to continue his journey with one last look, but just before he left, a man with a pair of ponytails suddenly appeared beside him. girl.

"What! Do you want to leave without saying goodbye?!"

Wuheqin, who came here through the transmission device, held a lollipop with sticks in his mouth, which was obviously an expression of anger.

Instead of making people worry about where they are going, it is better to disappear without anyone knowing. This is a very good method. Although he still met Mana and Tohka, at least now that everything has been arranged properly, he will not. What a big concern.

Therefore, the appearance of Kotori gave him a headache, and he could only choose to start the topic, "...It's really a blessing that you can speak so fluently with a lollipop in your mouth. Maybe this is also a talent?"

"Don't change the subject! You definitely want to leave without saying a word? A man who is irresponsible, a man with a heart!"

"...Even if you say something so unfounded, I don't have a girlfriend at all? How can I take my heart?"

"W-what! You still want to deny it now? You still want to say that you haven't done anything?"

Kotori seemed to be embarrassed and turned his face away, but he did not let Yong Ye go easily, but bluntly expressed what he had done to himself.

As for what he did to Wuhe Qinli, Yong Ye felt that it should not be his fault. He was absolutely innocent, at least he thought so. However, at this time, it doesn't make much sense to refuse to accept the account. Even if there is no account to accept, then it is better to be lenient to the child.
