chaos.
Endless chaos.
Darkness and blur occupied all of his vision, and his ears were filled with hazy sounds. The strong sense of unreality made him feel like he was always in a dream, as if everything in this world no longer existed in front of him.
The intertwined light and shadow formed one colorful picture after another in his mind that was smeared to the point of being indistinguishable. Together with the noise that came in, he kept lingering in his heart, and the feeling of helpless struggle was also in his mind as he tried to escape.
This sense of chaos kept appearing during the process, but it failed again and again as time went by.
Until a certain moment, the calling voice belonging to the system comes again.

boom!
The hazy feeling that filled his ears turned into a huge roar in the next moment, and was accompanied by a cylindrical straight line torn from the space in front of him. Following this straight line, he then saw something in front of his eyes.
Bright, using the huge dome under the dim sight to replace the unrecognizable feeling that has been wrapping around him: "..."
"...Are you awake? Are you there? Hello..."
"...Woo."
The vague calls coming from his ears also began to become clearer. Duan Qing slowly opened his eyes, which were also becoming clearer. The real light, shadow and sound images simulated by the virtual world then began to appear.
Like every player who has just entered this world, he returned to his senses little by little: "Hey! Hey! Are you okay? Can you hear me?"
"Stop arguing."
The palm of his hand pushed hard on the body that was groping up and down. Duan Qing interrupted the incessant voice with a look of helplessness. The soft touch was also uploaded by his fingers that regained consciousness the next moment.
Come on, the gray-robed magician raised his eyebrows involuntarily: "Well, your breasts seem to have grown a bit recently... Oops!"
"You, what are you doing!"
A heavy knocking sound accompanied by a shout of shame and anger appeared on Duan Qing's forehead, sending the man who had just woken up back to the ground again. He was hit hard on the head again and did not recover from this coma for a long time.
He got rid of the dizziness, and only after the anxious calls of the woman who had subconsciously taken action surrounded him again, did he let out a few helpless smiles: "Really, I thought the relationship between the two of us should already be good.
right……"
"I, I'm not ready yet."
The blush on his face became a little redder. Xue Ling Huan Bing crossed his hands and covered his chest. He made a sound like a mosquito for a long time before quietly biting him from behind in the quiet atmosphere around him.
squeezed out from his lips: "And, and...who would have thought that you would suddenly...suddenly attack..."
"Sorry, I haven't fully recovered my consciousness just now." Duan Qing, who was lying on the ground, showed a warm smile: "I didn't expect that the first thing I saw when I woke up was you."
"..."
The feelings of anxiety, hesitation, shame, and anger that had appeared on Xue Ling Huan Bing's face had completely disappeared from her face at this time. She put away all her postures and then silently resumed her kneeling position.
The posture next to Duan Qing also put on the same warm smile again: "Welcome back."
"……Um."
"How does it feel?"
"It feels good, it feels wonderful to be a human again."
"So you've recovered?"
"Although I'm not sure if I've fully recovered, I have more or less retained some memories of the previous fights with you in the sky. This should be a proof of recovery, right?"
"……Very good."
"Hey, hey, don't cry. It's a good thing to be alive and see each other again. How can there be tears at this time?"
"...What do you know? I am sad for the virginity I lost before."
"Please, haven't you been molested before, beauty? Being so beautiful and always so strong is an infinite waste of resources."
"You, what nonsense are you talking about? Do you want me to be more open-minded?"
"It doesn't matter, no matter what you become, I will be happy."
The gray-robed body and the white-haired body gradually sat up and slowly approached each other. During the period when they just woke up, they kept saying similar whispers until the look on the face of the woman nestled in Duan Qing's arms.
After the tears gradually disappeared, he slowly raised his head while holding the other person with one hand: "Where is this?"
"The palace is the place where you last disappeared. I was sure you would appear here, but I haven't seen you come back after waiting for a long time..."
"So confident? What if the system classifies me as dead on the spot and reborn in the tavern?"
"Because I also reappeared in the place where I traveled to that world, so I guess you will do the same. If it doesn't work...if I still can't wait for you in ten days, then I will go find you somewhere else.
"
"So how many days have you been waiting here?"
"Three days... By the way, don't you know how to check the system time yourself?"
"March 1st, Year 796 of the New Calendar of the Free World... I see. No wonder I felt so hot when I woke up. It turns out that we have entered the summer season."
"Hmph! I think it's just because you are too hungry and your body temperature is a little high now."
"..."
"...So, you have been in a coma for three days."
"Yeah, it feels like a big dream."
The hand on Xue Ling Huanbing's shoulder tightened slightly, and Duan Qing's frown slowly relaxed: "I started by trying to save Violet, then broke into that country and was beaten by the system.
I became a non-player, and finally met you who came to rescue me... everything seemed like an unreal dream."
"This is probably destiny." Xue Ling Huan Bing shook her head slightly: "If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have seen a more real you, right?"
"Well."
As if he remembered what he said to Xue Ling Huan Bing in the other world, Duan Qing's voice that he just wanted to raise stopped slightly in embarrassment, and the white-haired woman who noticed the other party's embarrassment also spoke out.
He chuckled, and the expression on his face became much more exciting: "So you always think that I have not achieved your expected goals? So you think that I have never been a good apprentice? It turns out that I refused to be your fiancée three years ago.
, when I officially dumped you...you, the young master, still felt very disappointed?"
"This, this... don't talk about it. There is too much dark history, and now I don't know where to start reflecting."
"...and your dissatisfaction and anger towards me, are they all true?"
"Hey, hey, don't make it so clear. After all, everything has passed... Of course, if I had been stronger at that time, I might still have a chance to save Norman."
"You're blaming yourself again."
Gently putting her finger on the other person's lips, Xue Ling Huan Bing quietly blocked Duan Qing's words: "This is not just a matter of whether you trust me. We must at least understand each other. As long as you don't
No matter how much we hide our innermost thoughts, and no longer always choose to bear it alone, there will definitely not be so many gaps between us, right?"
"...Then it's settled, the next time something like this happens, you jump in first, and then let me walk into your heart, and by the way, you can also stage a bloody drama of a hero saving a beauty..."
"What a beautiful thought! There will be no next time! I will not use the Yi Sword in the future, and you must give me a ban!"
"Okay, okay, yes, yes, since you have made up your mind, of course I have to listen to you..."
"It seems that the person you were waiting for has finally appeared."
A low and powerful voice then appeared in the ears of Duan Qing and Duan Qing, interrupting their whispers. The emperor named Drenier then acted like a general who had just returned from an expedition.
, stepped into their field of vision from the outside to the inside: "Congratulations, adventurer Xueling Huanbing, your wait has not been in vain."
"Thank you for your trust, His Majesty the Emperor." Xue Ling Huan Bing, who was slowly helped up by Duan Qing's arms and straightened her expression, smiled lightly and nodded: "Your Majesty believed my request for proof, so I
Only then can I present this to you.”
"Even Yu can come back from the dead, what else is impossible for an adventurer?"
After letting out several loud laughs, the emperor walked to the front of the throne and waved his bright red cloak heavily behind him: "Not to mention those who have devoted everything they have to the destiny of our empire, Yu Ziran
Sufficient trust should be given to them.”
"I don't dare to take it seriously. I am also a little uneasy in my heart." Xue Ling Huan Bing showed a kind smile without being humble or arrogant: "The current results have proved my guess. I am very happy."
"So...Mr. Linyuan Duanshui."
Nodding as his response, Drenier turned his attention to Duan Qing: "The former wanted criminal of the empire, the suspect who tried to frame the prince and overthrew the Thebilis Castle, now the empire
Hero, the son of destiny who saved the imperial capital Redkar"
"How should I thank you?"
He laughed and clapped his hands, his face looking full of unabashed joy and joy, which also made Duan Qing, who had been staring at the bright cracks on that burly figure, look a bit embarrassed on his face.
: "I don't dare to accept it either. Your Majesty, the respected emperor of the empire, has made you and your empire what you are now, and it is really not what I wanted..."
"No need to be so humble, I understand your mood very well now."
Waving his hand, Drenier laughed and interrupted Duan Qing: "As a hero who saved the entire imperial capital and solved the problems that have plagued the empire for thousands of years, there is no need for you to hide your role.
Credit, as for Yu himself... Yu is very satisfied with the body he has now, and you don’t need to feel guilty at all."
"All you need is to accept the empire's gratitude to you!" He put away his smile and looked at Duan Qing's face with piercing eyes: "Tell me, what do you want?"
"I, I just want to have a good rest now." Duan Qing smiled bitterly and shook his head: "And the empire has just suffered such a disaster, and it must be at a time when everything is waiting for improvement. At this time, we still have to entertain us like this.
, no matter how you think about it, it’s a little inappropriate, right?”
"What's inappropriate? I said you are now the most distinguished guests of the empire!" Drenier waved his hand: "What you and your companions have done for the empire far exceeds words.
As far as gratitude can go, as for the Fleur Empire itself...well."
"I have reappeared in the name of the emperor in front of the people of the empire. I believe that those scoundrels will not dare to act recklessly anymore." He said these words in a serious voice while gathering the crackling energy aura.
In the clenched fists in front of him: "Coupled with Yu's current body...who dares to offend the majesty of the royal family easily again?"
"This, that's it." Then the smile on Duan Qing's face became more unnatural: "Then I really want to congratulate your majesty, congratulate your majesty, I, we..."
"Don't show such fear. Regarding everything that Yu is encountering now and the current situation of the empire, Yu can still distinguish between right and wrong."
The voice finally returned to its ordinary calmness, and Drenier, who put away his smile, looked at Duan Qing's face with a calm gaze: "Being able to restore the empire that is beyond redemption to its current appearance, other than God or the power of fate,
There is no other better explanation, and the child of destiny you once appeared in front of me at the last moment obviously had such power."
"If you haven't figured out how to accept the gratitude of this empire now, then you should stay here for a few more days." He retracted his forward gaze, and then said with a kind expression that did not suit his burly body.
Smiling, he said to the two adventurers: "When the situation in the empire is further stabilized and I have more time, I will personally take you two to the royal treasures of the empire to select rewards that match your dedication to the empire."
"...Royal Secrets?"
"That's right! It's your adventurer's favorite thing!"
After letting out a few clear laughs, Drenier waved his hands at Duan Qing, who stared at him: "I know that as adventurers, you must not like the nobility of the empire or the power of the empire.
Something like that, right? Powerful weapons, equipment, and magical items full of mystery are the favorites of you adventurers."
"In the name of the Emperor of the Frey Empire, I will provide you with the best treasures belonging to the royal family." He clapped his hands and then gestured to the two people: "Before that, you can have a good rest in the imperial capital.
Enjoy your wonderful leisure time! Because”
"You are now the most distinguished guests of the empire."
