"What a talent...Oh, after talking for a long time, I finally got back to the topic."

Naturally, I have not forgotten what the three young people in front of me are thinking.

Encourage more people to join the war, serve the honor of the empire, and break the shackles of "eternity"... These voices still echo in my brain.

They are the main force advocating "change" in the town.

"What I do is my freedom, right?"

It's impossible, I will never change my current situation.

"I can't use magic, don't ignore this."

"It doesn't matter~~Mr. Gu Lao, the best match for the divine eye is physical skills. If you can't use magic, it doesn't matter!"

Huh? What is this guy thinking? It’s obviously the magical world...just ignore it.

"...If you just want to say this, then I will leave first."

"Hey, don't ignore me, Mr. Gu!"

Arguing with these young people makes me physically and mentally exhausted.

"Qian Zhihe, thank you for your hospitality. The opera is quite good."

I looked at the hesitant Paper Crane.

"Ah, you're welcome... Do you really want to leave?"

"The atmosphere here is too depressing...especially when there are two guards with wooden sticks standing next to me. Besides, Raya is waiting for me."

"Well..."

Qian Zhihe lowered her head, and I knew she was feeling guilty:

"I hope you will think about it again... We will keep your matter confidential."

"Thank you...but I beg you, please stop meddling in other people's business."

I heard a hint of comfort in Qianzhihe's kindness, which actually made me more and more annoyed.

"Sorry!"

As if seeing through my thoughts, Qian Zhihe apologized again.

"Sorry..."

At the same time, Marcia and Alvin also apologized seriously.

"..."

I left without looking back.

......

When we left the theater, it was raining heavily outside.

Without an umbrella, I ran wildly in the rain, trying to extinguish the unknown fire in my heart.

Damn...those gang...

I gritted my teeth.

My whole body was filled with some kind of impulse, and I had nowhere to vent it. I tried to calm myself down with a deep breath.

Big raindrops hit my face mercilessly, consuming my energy.

I almost couldn't control my emotions in front of those three brats.

Invite me to the theater on the pretext of apology, and set up traps in advance to test me...just to expose my secret? Haha, you are really mine.

"Huh...huh..."

Calm down, calm down...

Children just don't know what's important... Don't care too much, you have to forgive them... They are the future of the town...

But...

Childish! Stupid!

It is no exaggeration to say that at that time, for a moment, I even had murderous intentions.

I know very well what the divine eye means.

Once I attract attention, my freedom will no longer belong to me, and the life I have been accustomed to for more than a hundred years will undergo a complete change...

All the people I know well will look at me differently, and all the things I cherish will become unfamiliar.

In other words, if they really report it to the empire, all I can choose is to accept the arranged fate, or commit suicide... They don't understand at all, all they think about is war... So boring!

Hateful young man...

......

"Ah - sneeze -!"

Sure enough, as a result of being exposed to the rain, I caught a cold as soon as I returned to the hotel.

But fortunately...at least the bad mood was put aside.

Raya, who was sitting in the hotel lobby waiting for me, saw me coming back and immediately put a towel on my shoulders.

"I clearly told you to bring an umbrella when you go out."

Raya stared at me reproachfully.

"Sorry."

"I bought some medicine for you and put it on the big wooden table in your room. Remember to drink it later."

"Well..."

"You go change your clothes and go to dinner in fifteen minutes."

"OK, I'm so thoughtful, so troublesome~~"

"I'm afraid that if you have an accident, you will be in many times more trouble."

After finishing the explanation, Raya blinked and made sure she had nothing else to say, then went upstairs.

"..."

I silently grasped the towel tightly, and my breath was trembling for some reason.

...That's it, it turns out I'm still afraid.

However, how can I not worry?

I don’t long for anything else, just stay in the present moment - isn’t it wrong to just do that?

As expected of me, when this happens, I sigh and feel helpless.

I walked up the stairs step by step and slowly walked into my room.

"Forget it, I can't think too much about it."

I slapped my face a few times and shook my groggy head.

Change your sad face and make a smile.

"Whatever troubles there are, don't let me have dinner with Raya~~"

Mr. Lonely, move forward four!

Come on, myself...
Chapter completed!
