Hearing him describe her that way, Sirin could only admit it. Other than admitting it, she had no reason that could explain why she had entered this ideal world.
"My mother died in the Honkai. God told me that the Honkai eruption was artificially caused by Schicksal for the purpose of conducting their experiments."
That explained perfectly why Sirin's mother had died in the Honkai, yet Sirin would help the Honkai.
For a thirteen-year-old girl, her mother's death must have dealt her a huge blow. What was worse, her mother had died at the hands of Schicksal, which had nothing to do with her. Why had they let her mother be caught up in the Honkai? Why had they torn apart her happy family? Why had they turned her into a test subject? In the end, all those questions crushed Sirin.
That was why she had created such an ideal world, making the most perfect woman she had ever seen—Cecilia—her mother. That way, she could have a perfect family just like the one she had had in the past.
"So you're running away."
Without the slightest hint of pity, Feng Chen said those words. He had no choice. Who could blame him when Sirin's heart was this fragile? If he wanted to make her stronger, this was probably the only way.
She had admitted it herself, after all.
"I only long for the happy life and perfect family I had when I was little. Is even that wrong?"
Just as her heart was exceedingly fragile, her eyes began to glimmer when she said this—
They were tears.
"This is troublesome..." Feng Chen knew he was completely incapable of dealing with a girl's tears. Otherwise, he would not have remained unmoved. Though, perhaps "at a loss" would have been more accurate.
