Chapter 243
Walking home, Luo Mio's azure eyes were filled with thought.
Because of my own actions, the "lines" of the world have begun to diverge to varying degrees.
The "Solomon's Ring"...
After thinking for a while, Luo Mio shook her head, her azure eyes looking directly towards the direction outside the "giant stone tablet".
Well... no matter what happens, the ending will not change.
I looked up at the dim sky; night had fallen.
On the hospital rooftop, Hoshikage Hisomi spoke to Luo Mio.
"Then I shall take my leave, Your His Highness. I must go back and report to my superiors later. I expect the massive Pursuit Plan organized by the government will be issued later tonight."
"Until then, Your His Highness, please get some rest."
After saying this, Hoshikage Hisomi bid farewell to Luo Mio and left the hospital.
After Hoshikage Hisomi left, Luo Mio walked towards Rentaro's ward and found Enju and Tendo Kisara by his side. After glancing at them from outside the door, Luo Mio turned and left.
"I'm back."
Luo Mio had just returned home and walked to the entrance hall.
"Um?"
A pair of exquisite and beautiful pure white high heels placed in the entryway caught his eye.
"..."
Could it be...?
Just as Luo Mio fell silent, Fuse Midori, who had heard Luo Mio's voice, also walked out from around the corner of the corridor.
"Welcome back, Brother Miohua."
Gently patting Fuse Midori's head, Luo Mio asked her, "Are there guests at home?"
"..." Upon hearing this, Fuse Midori's face stiffened slightly, and then she nodded gently.
His gaze flickered slightly towards the pair of pure white shoes.
Ha... I knew it.
"Where is that guest now?"
"He's in the study."
Then, she gently smiled at Fuse Midori and asked, "Is dinner ready?"
"Not yet."
He patted Fuse Midori's little head.
"Then you and Yue go prepare dinner, I'm going to see the guest."
"Um."
Watching the two girls Fuse Midori and Yue, standing on the children's chairs, washing and chopping vegetables.
Then, turning her gaze back to the study with a slightly troubled expression, Luo Mio sighed and walked towards the study.
After opening the door, Luo Mio looked inside.
A white-haired girl wearing a pure white dress was quietly looking at the book in her hands.
Hearing the door open, the girl, as white as the first snowflakes, looked up towards the doorway.
Her beautiful and delicate face made the girl look very sacred, and her pale cherry-colored lips parted slightly when she saw Luo Mio.
A hint of moisture appeared in his silver-gray eyes.
Looking at the white-haired girl with unparalleled beauty in front of him, Luo Mio scratched his head.
After entering the study, I sat down opposite her.
"..."
The two remained silent.
Luo Mio lowered her eyes slightly, her gaze somewhat refusing to look directly into the girl's eyes.
The girl looked at Luo Mio with her silver-gray eyes, as if recalling happy memories, and a beautiful smile curved her lips.
"... Long time no see."
Unable to bear the silence any longer, Luo Mio spoke first to the girl.
If we don't count the time they met in the First Conference Room via screen, this was their first meeting in eight years.
"Mm." The girl nodded softly after hearing Luo Mio's words.
"..."
Then the two fell silent again.
"I heard from Hoshima that you returned to the Tokyo Area a year ago."
"... Um."
Upon hearing Luo Mio's reply, the pure white girl clenched her fists tightly, her white teeth gently biting her thin lips.
"Then why didn't you come back... Eight years, and you didn't even make a single phone call, not even a single letter..."
"Don't you know how much I miss you!"
The girl's tone was very hurried, but her hurried tone was full of anger and sadness.
Luo Mio clearly sensed the emotions in the girl's tone and remained silent for a short while.
"Now that you are the ruler of Tokyo, it is the best time to establish your authority. If I were to appear now, it might have the opposite effect."
"That's impossible!"
As soon as Luo Mio finished speaking, the pure white girl in front of her immediately refuted Luo Mio words.
As if realizing her lapse in composure, the girl quickly lowered her head, but the teeth she gently bit on her lip betrayed her true feelings.
"Furthermore... the name of the Holy Child should be passed down to you!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Mio gave a helpless, bitter smile.
"What are you thinking? I am a man, and it is impossible for me to inherit the throne and become the Holy Child."
Hearing Luo Mio's tone, the girl also adorably pouted her lips.
"Why don't you just wear women's clothes, brother? You look so feminine anyway."
Elder brother.
If someone else were to utter this word from the mouth of a pure white-clad girl, they would probably be shocked for the rest of their lives.
Luo Mio chuckled, looking at the pure white girl in front of her with a wry smile.
The girl before them was none other than the current ruler of the Tokyo Area, the Third Generation Holy Child!
The pure and innocent girl who initiated the commission "Reclaim the Legacy of the Seven Stars" on the cold light screen in the First Conference Room.
She is also Luo Mio's younger sister in this world.
Unexpectedly, upon arriving in this world, Luo Mio was directly reborn as the fetus in the womb of the Previous Holy Child, who was also Luo Mio's nominal biological mother.
Luo Mio was born a year earlier than her nominal younger sister.
"Come on, I'd rather be a beggar than wear women's clothes."
Luo Mio rolled her eyes at the girl.
How could I possibly wear women's clothes! I would never wear women's clothes in my entire life!
After they finished speaking, the two stared at each other in silence for a few seconds.
"Puff..."
The girl chuckled softly, her silver-gray eyes revealing a happy, joyful, and relaxed expression.
Looking at the smile on the girl's delicate face, Luo Mio's lips also curled up slightly.
The last time I saw the girl in front of me smile like that was the night before Luo Mio left "Holy Residence" and the Tokyo Area.
"Brother, what have you been doing all over the world for the past eight years?"
The girl softly asked Luo Mio how he had spent the past eight years.
Looking at the girl, Luo Mio raised an eyebrow.
"That guy from the Star Realm told you?"
"Um."
The girl nodded obediently.
"Tsk, that guy Xingjian, can't he control his mouth?"
Hearing Luo Mio's slightly complaining words, the girl's delicate and beautiful face also revealed a beautiful smile.
"After all, if I just make a slight request, Xingjian will still tell me."
Few people have seen a girl smile like that.
Seeing the girl's smile, Luo Mio had no choice but to tell her.
Chapter Twenty: Heart-to-Heart Talk
"So that's what happened."
The girl sat opposite Luo Mio, listening to him recount the cities and ruins he had visited over the past eight years.
Perhaps to others, Luo Mio's experiences seem too fantastical, after all, traveling alone in "Uncharted Territory" around the world is simply impossible for others.
Even a powerful "facilitator" would find it difficult to survive alone in the "Uncharted Territory" without relying on its own "initiator," let alone live outside for eight years.
But the girl already knew that the man in front of her had a feminine appearance and just how strong his brother really was.
In this world, besides Hoshikage Hisomi, probably only she knows.
"So those children are now living in the sewers of District 39?"
As she said this, a complex look appeared in the girl's silver-gray eyes.
Seeing the complex look in the girl's eyes, Luo Mio shook her head.
"For them, District 39 is their real home. And don't worry, the place where they live has been improved by me. Apart from the long-standing smell of sewage, it's no worse than houses in the city."
Upon hearing Luo Mio's words, the girl lowered her eyes slightly.
"Actually..."
"I know."
The girl had barely uttered two words when Luo Mio interrupted her.
"Huh?"
Blinking her silver-gray eyes, the girl looked up at Luo Mio.
Is the "Gastrea New Law" correct?
Luo Mio looked at the girl and spoke softly.
The "Gastrea New Law" is a brand-new bill pushed forward by the girl in front of us, despite opposition from others.
It is a law designed to improve the social status of the "Initiators" and the "Cursed Children," enabling these children to coexist peacefully with humans.
"..." Luo Mio was silent for a moment before speaking, "Girl... you actually knew all along who commissioned Hiruko Kageyasu to seize the 'Legacy of the Seven Stars,' didn't you?"
Upon hearing this, the girl's eyes widened slightly, then instantly dimmed and drooped.
"... Hmm." The girl gently bit her thin lips. "The reason I did this is because of the 'Gastrea New Law,' isn't it?"
Hearing the girl's somber tone, Luo Mio sighed softly.
"The reason that old man did this was because his wife was killed by Gastrea during the Gastrea War ten years ago. That's why he hates Gastrea and the 'Cursed Children' so much."
The old man that Luo Mio mentioned was none other than the young girl's assistant, the grandfather of Tendo Kisara and the adoptive father of Rentaro, Tendou Kikunojou!
