But these were her mother's words, and Betty couldn't disobey them.

So Betty kept waiting, and if it weren't for what happened today, she would have continued to wait.

She waited in loneliness and solitude for the person who would take her away from the library.

"Everyone has a reason to live, Beatrice."

Bai Xuan crouched down, looked at Beatrice, who was almost ready to die, at eye level, and said calmly.

"This meaning should not be Bestowal by others, but rather found by oneself."

You simply don't understand.

Beatrice retorted that everything she had belonged to her mother, and since her mother had told her to wait, how could she possibly disobey her mother's orders!

"You don't have to understand, if you want to."

Bai Xuan placed the Gospel in front of Beatrice, then slowly stood up.

It's time to leave.

The transaction has been completed, and she has even participated in the Witch Tea Party.

His original purpose in coming to this world was simply to trade all the knowledge of the Witch of Greed Echidna, in the library; the Witch Tea Party was an unexpected delight.

Although it was a bit of a pity that he didn't get to see Natsuki Subaru and Emilia, it didn't really bother Bai Xuan.

After greeting Su Yunqing and Kurumi Tokisaki, Bai Xuan left.

They originally came to repair Ram's horns, but because of Echidna, it has been delayed until now.

Su Yunqing, Kurumi Tokisaki, Rem, and Ram also left the Forbidden Library.

Once again, only Beatrice remained in the Forbidden Library.

Loneliness and solitude enveloped Beatrice once again. She curled up against the wall, hugging her knees, as if this could bring her a little sense of security.

After an unknown amount of time, Beatrice slowly raised her head, her gaze falling on the Gospel that Bai Xuan had placed in front of her before leaving.

Beatrice reached out and picked it up, turning the pages one by one.

"Still the same."

Beatrice said with a self-deprecating laugh.

She actually thought the Gospel would change because of Bai Xuan's words.

But Beatrice hugged her knees again, her eyes filled with expectation.

"Betty, do you really not understand?"

If she were a little less sensible, a little more rebellious, would she be able to stop obeying?

But wouldn't Mom be angry?

Betty's hopeful gaze dimmed again at the thought that Echidna would be angry.

She turned the Gospel one by one, but there was no Crest of Light in her eyes; she was simply reading.

Before she knew it, Betty had turned to the last page, and she gradually came to her senses.

"We've waited four hundred years already, so what's another four hundred years?"

"Betty was created by Mother, and Betty's purpose is to exist for Mother."

That's the significance of Betty's existence.

In this choice, she once again chose Echidna over herself.

We've already waited over four hundred years, so what's another four hundred?

With the knowledge of this Otherworld left behind by Bai Xuan, I shouldn't be so lonely for the next four hundred years or so, right?

Chat Group.

Ordinary Group Owner: "Echidna has no heart!"

Ordinary Group Owner: "Over four hundred years, just for an answer, Beatrice waited over four hundred years, waiting for someone who doesn't exist."

Ordinary Group Owner: "Because it's Echidna, she can't even die. She can only wait endlessly in the Forbidden Library, and her greatest hope is that someone will end her life."

Ordinary Group Owner commented. "If it weren't for Natsuki Subaru, perhaps death would have been a good thing for her."

Su Yunqing couldn't help but sigh.

Longevity is a Captivate for many people, including Su Yunqing, but as a prerequisite for this Captivate, Su Yunqing does not want to be the only one to Longevity.

She hopes to Longevity with her friends and family.

Otherwise, it would be too lonely.

Beatrice has waited for over four hundred years, with only her Puck by her side, but Puck has found the meaning of his existence and the life he wants to Guardianship for the rest of his life.

Roswaal also did not reveal his identity to her.

Loneliness and solitude surrounded Beatrice throughout her centuries-long life.

In the end, she even contemplated suicide; but because of her mother's mission, she couldn't even bring herself to do it.

So, Echidna, you really have no heart!

The Richest Man in the America: "This is the Witch."

The Richest Man in the America, "While they are not absolutely evil, they have nothing to do with Crest of Reliability either."

The Richest Man in the America said, "Even those acts of Crest of Reliability in their eyes are a disaster for humanity."

This is Tony Stark's biggest takeaway from Witch after watching the Re:Zero Memory Copy.

The most typical example is Daphne, the Witch of Gluttony.

She created three Magic Beast: the White Whale, the Many Rabbits, and the Black Serpent. Countless people died because of them, but Daphne created them for the purpose of producing food.

Because Daphne, as the Witch of Gluttony, was constantly suffering from hunger, she didn't want others to suffer the same way, so she created the White Whale, the Many Rabbits, and the Black Serpent.

Killing White Whale, with its enormous size, could provide food for many people.

Many Rabbits are also capable of self-reproduction.

If people use it well, no one in this world will ever go hungry again.

Tony Stark didn't know what abilities the Black Serpent possessed, but from Daphne's perspective, it was either used to control the Many Rabbits population to prevent them from multiplying too much, or the Black Serpent's abilities were related to food.

It probably has nothing to do with meat, since it's poisonous all over; it might have something to do with vegetables.

As for diet, it definitely needs to be a balanced mix of meat and vegetables.

In short, was Daphne's idea wrong?

That's absolutely right.

However, she viewed the problem from her own limited perspective, unaware that the monsters she created were already too powerful for humans to handle.

While it's not that the problem of hunger cannot be solved, it addresses the Root.

After all, the person is gone, so what's the point of eating?

That's what Witch are like; even if their intentions are good, they can still cause terrifying destruction to humanity and the world.

For example, Minerva Witch of Wrath, Crest of Reliability- hearted and cannot tolerate any harm or war. If she encounters such a situation, she will heal the other party by beating them.

But this power makes her the Witch who causes the most harm to the world.

Because every time she uses her power, it disrupts the world's Mana balance, leading to natural disasters.

Therefore, it was perfectly normal in Tony Stark's eyes that Echidna, as the embodiment of the desire for knowledge, had toyed with Beatrice for over four hundred years out of curiosity.

Do you really expect Beatrice to hold a more important place in Echidna's heart than the unknown?

Unless she joined Chat Group or obtained the system.

Otherwise, it would be impossible.
