Chapter 396
"Dinner is ready."
Chapter 41: Farewell and Departure
"Hahaha--!"
On a flat grassy field, the petite Kazari Rinna, wearing an eye patch, stood with her hands on her hips, laughing heartily.
Then, as if it were pre-rehearsed, he struck a pose that looked bewildering to onlookers but was, to his own liking, quite cool.
"I am the Lord of the Extreme Night, who commands countless magical beasts! You mortals, submit to my feet!"
"Ooh ooh ooh—!"
In front of Kazari Rinna, a child who looked only seven or eight years old clapped excitedly after seeing Kazari Rinna's cool and stylish pose and lines.
The seven or eight-year-old child looked almost identical to Luo Mio and Fu Hua.
The only difference was that his eyes were a bewitching purple filled with a violent and fierce energy.
Her hair was also a neat and short style that looked very sunny.
Seeing the little boy's expression, Kazari Rinna also burst into laughter.
"How about it, my junior, the God of Destruction who controls the Honkai?"
Upon hearing the name that Kazari Rinna had given him, Destruction's eyes lit up immediately.
"Whoa whoa!"
He shouted happily, then came to Kazari Rinna's side, and then recalled the positions and movements he had thought of last night.
Seeing Kazari Rinna's posture and movements in the distance, Sora also felt ashamed and said.
"Of all the people this brat could imitate, he had to pick Rinna."
Sora could even imagine that in the future, Destroy would greet her with a childish and pretentious tone and appearance.
Thinking of this, Kong couldn't help but shiver, then turned to look at Fu Hua standing beside him.
"Ah Hua, aren't you going to do something about it?"
Upon hearing Kong's words, Fu Hua smiled gently, shook her head, and said, "Isn't this fine too?"
"Mie's current psychological age is still that of a child who, when he first woke up, longed for freedom and play."
Sora watched as Destruction and Kazari Rinna chatted and played happily, then glanced at Fu Hua's expression beside him.
Kong covered her mouth and chuckled softly.
"I always feel that you, Ah Hua, are very suitable for taking care of children."
Fu Hua was also slightly taken aback.
"Is there?"
"Um."
At this moment, behind the two of them.
"Lord Fu Hua, Lord Void."
Bella then brought hot tea and drinks to the two of them.
Fu Hua took the hot tea from Bella and then glanced around.
"Where are Mio and Ikki?"
In the direction Bella came from, Touka was washing vegetables, and Charlotte was also preparing ingredients beside her.
On the other side, Hidamaru was playing in the woods with Skoll and Kazari Rinna Kazamatsuri's Sphinx, while Hati was quietly lying next to Sora reading a book.
Stella, on the other hand, was fishing by the river with Morohoshi Yudai, Kurashiki Kurato, Arisugawa.
Although it's a physical form of fishing...
On the shore, Shinguji Naru, Shizuku, Gagami, Ayatsuji Ayase were watching them.
At the other table, Saikyo Neine was already drinking, while the adults around her, including Shinguji Kuroko and Edelweiss, were chatting.
Upon hearing Fu Hua's question, Bella chuckled and looked in one direction.
"Master and Mr. Ikki are over there right now."
Fu Hua looked in the same direction as Bella.
Two figures could be vaguely seen on a small hill a little further away.
——
"I never expected there to be such a great viewpoint here."
Standing on the hill, Luo Mio leaned against the wooden railing, looking at the distant blue ocean, and sighed.
Hearing Luo Mio's praise, Ikki also smiled.
Then he said.
"This hill was created by your power, Miohua."
Ikki's words made Luo Mio's expression pause slightly.
Then Ikki continued.
"This little hill was created when you went Miohua while you were distracting the One-armed Sword Saint, when Big Brother and Rinna attacked us."
Upon hearing Ikki's explanation, Luo Mio also showed a slight expression of surprise.
Seeing Luo Mio's expression, Ikki's eyes also darkened slightly.
He couldn't help but recall the words Fu Hua had said to him before.
'Mio will not easily forget anything she has experienced in each world.'
This also means that at certain times, in order to confirm something, he would have to browse through his vast memory bank, searching through memories of that thing.
Ikki still can't forget the lonely and empty expression on Fu Hua's face when she said that.
Even so, Mio still refuses to erase some of his memories.
'Although it's not apparent now, as Mio experiences more and more worlds, her memories will become more abundant.'
Fu Hua looked at the sky, her eyes seeming to be recalling something.
'For the immortal... for those who are ageless and immortal, memory is both a blessing and a curse.'
As she spoke, Fu Hua turned her head to look at Ikki.
"You possess the blessing of the 'World,' and due to your awakening as a 'Demon' through transcending destiny, your lifespan will be similar to Mio's, making you nearly immortal."
Then Fu Hua stretched out her hand, and a red and white feather with a faint glow appeared.
'Mio must have given you the same feather before.'
Ikki took the feather and nodded.
Fu Hua spoke to Ikki.
'This feather is different from the one Mio gave you.'
"Too many memories will overwhelm your brain and constantly erode your consciousness. This feather is meant to distract you from an overwhelming amount of memories later on."
Recalling his conversation with Fu Hua, Ikki also spoke to Luo Mio.
"If it weren't for your physical condition, Miohua, I wouldn't have known that you weren't actually from this world."
Upon hearing Ikki's words, Luo Mio's lips curled up slightly as she looked at Ikki and spoke.
"So what if I'm not from this world?"
After speaking, Luo Mio turned her gaze to the flat grassland a little distance away.
Looking at Touka, Stella, and Saikyo Neine...
"This world has people I love and people who love me. No matter where I am, I will never forget this world."
Looking at Luo Mio, Ikki smiled gently.
Then he slowly extended his fist toward Luo Mio.
"I don't know how long it will take, but I will catch up!"
Luo Mio was slightly taken aback upon hearing Ikki's words.
Then a smile appeared on his face.
"Ah."
He extended his fist and bumped it against Ikki's.
"Then you'd better hurry!"
"----Hello!"
At this moment, in the stream below the hill.
Stella looked at Luo Mio and Ikki and waved her hand.
"You two, get ready to open!"
Upon hearing Stella's words, Luo Mio and Ikki exchanged a smile.
"They're here!"
——
The next morning.
Luo Mio turned her head to look at Touka behind her.
Touka looked at him with gentle eyes.
Touka walked lightly forward to Luo Mio and gently straightened Luo Mio's collar.
"Bon Voyage."
Hearing her sister's words, Luo Mio looked at the gentle expression in Touka's chestnut-gold eyes and nodded.
"Okay, I'm off."
To avoid unnecessary sadness, Luo Mio had made things clear with Touka, Ikki, Saikyo Neine, and others just five days ago.
Then Luo Mio looked at Kong and Fu Hua beside her.
Kong also spoke softly to Luo Mio.
"Neither Ah Hua nor I are here this time, so you have to be careful on your own, brother."
Luo Mio patted her head.
"Um."
He then exchanged a glance with Fu Hua.
Having spent so much time together, Fu Hua and Luo Mio's conversations were all conducted in silence.
After saying goodbye to everyone, Luo Mio turned and walked into the blue wormhole.
——
In the system space.
The system looked at the wormhole space in front of it and suddenly froze.
Just now, the host Luo Mio, was supposed to pass through the blue wormhole and return to the system space.
But the moment Luo Mio stepped into the wormhole, a mysterious force intervened.
When Luo Mio stepped into the wormhole, she was instantly transported to the next world.
Furthermore, even the new Character Carrier has been fully integrated.
And the only thing that can interfere with this...
The system is giving me a bit of a headache.
"That official was really something..."
