The Promise Between the Two
Kuina's expression changed instantly.
Her clear eyes were filled with worry and reluctance.
This is only natural.
Since this man appeared in her life, his world has undergone earth-shattering changes. He not only rediscovered the path to his dreams, but the whole world has also become more colorful and vibrant.
Kuina really enjoyed being with Lin Yan.
A heart is slowly changing.
Therefore, Kuina never considered the possibility of Lin Yan leaving, and even subconsciously didn't want to touch upon it.
In the girl's innocent hope, this man before her would stay with her forever...
Upon hearing the news of Lin Yan's departure, Kuina naturally felt flustered.
"..."
Looking at Kuina like this, a hint of helplessness flashed in Lin Yan's eyes.
Ultimately...
He was ultimately not a person of this era.
Even if I don't leave now, I'll have to part ways with Kuina sooner or later.
There's nothing we can do about it.
Arriving in this era was purely coincidental for Lin Yan. Although he was also very reluctant to part with Kuina in front of him, he had more unbreakable ties in the other world.
"... Kuina, listen to me."
Looking at the girl clinging tightly to her clothes, Lin Yan sighed, a rare occurrence for her. Then, her expression turned serious as she spoke to Kuina.
"Believe me, I will never leave you as long as there's even the slightest possibility, but I don't belong here... I'll have to leave one day eventually."
"No! Teacher won't leave me, Teacher, you're lying to me, right?"
Unfortunately, this answer did not seem to convince Kuina.
The usually well-behaved girl shook her head without hesitation after hearing Lin Yan's words, and tears began to well up in her bright eyes.
Kuina had long harbored deep feelings for Lin Yan, who had allowed her dream to continue, and she simply couldn't accept the fact that Lin Yan was about to leave.
"..."
Seeing Kuina like this, Lin Yan felt a pang of pity.
But as mentioned before.
There's nothing we can do about it.
Therefore, Lin Yan could only comfort Kuina in a soft voice.
We'll meet again someday.
"..."
Lin Yan's comforting words lasted for a long time before Kuina's emotions gradually calmed down. After all, she was a very well-behaved and strong girl.
After realizing that Lin Yan would leave no matter what, Kuina had no choice but to force herself to accept reality.
The saying that life is full of disappointments is probably referring to this.
Looking at Lin Yan before her, Kuina couldn't help but sniffle softly, her clear eyes filled with longing, as if she wanted to imprint this man in her heart.
After silently observing Lin Yan for a long time, Kuina finally spoke softly.
"So, teacher, when will you leave?"
"Hmm... about two weeks."
Looking at Kuina, who was trying to hold back her tears, Lin Yan felt a little reluctant, but she still spoke frankly.
He will come here.
It was simply because they were waiting for the Time Train to recharge.
Meeting Kuina and developing such a relationship with the girl was completely unexpected for Lin Yan.
According to Lin Yan's estimate.
The Time Train will be fully charged in about two weeks.
When that time comes, it will be time for me to leave.
"..."
In any case, two weeks is far too short a time. Hearing Lin Yan say this, Kuina couldn't help but fall silent again.
The man who brought me light and hope, is he leaving in two weeks...?
Kuina was extremely reluctant to leave.
But deep down, he knew he couldn't stop Lin Yan's path.
Therefore, it took the girl a long time to calm herself down before she looked at Lin Yan and forced a smile.
"Then... teacher, can we make a promise?"
Kuina looked at Lin Yan quietly and said.
"What agreement?"
Lin Yan, of course, couldn't refuse Kuina's request, and readily nodded and asked.
"When I become the World's Greatest Swordsman, you must be there to cheer me on. At that time... I will live with you, okay?"
"..."
It seemed they hadn't expected Kuina to make such a request.
Even Lin Yan was taken aback for a moment.
After all, speaking of the future World's Greatest Swordsman...
Speaking reasonably, isn't that what I'm all about?
Lin Yan thought to herself, somewhat amused and exasperated.
But seeing the expectant look in Kuina's eyes, Lin Yan couldn't bear to refuse and nodded gently.
I just hope that when Kuina finds out that the final enemy she'll have to face is actually herself, she'll be able to hold her nerve...
"I understand. I will cultivate diligently until then."
Seeing Lin Yan nod in agreement.
Only then did the light return to Kuina's eyes.
Becoming the World's Greatest Swordsman has always been her dream.
In Kuina's simple mind, the happiest thing when she successfully realizes her dream is to have the most important person in her life witness this moment with her.
And when he achieves his dream, that will be the time to reunite with Lin Yan.
By that time...
I...
The saying that a young girl's heart is always poetic probably refers to this.
"Alright, stop thinking about those things. There are still two weeks left, plenty of time. Besides, today's training isn't over yet."
He didn't notice the intensely meaningful look in Kuina's eyes.
Seeing that the girl's emotions had calmed down.
Lin Yan smiled slightly, then decided to continue training with Kuina.
As mentioned before.
Although she possesses an incredibly powerful ability, Kuina still has a long way to go before becoming a true powerhouse. (33novel. com)
Before I leave.
Lin Yan also hoped to leave more for Kuina.
After all, this girl in front of him was his first student.
Kuina did not object to this.
The girl simply looked at Lin Yan quietly, her eyes flashing with all sorts of inexplicable emotions, and finally, as usual, she obediently nodded her head.
"I see..."
