"So this is just the sequelae of overwork. There is nothing to worry about..."

"But three years ago..."

"If something happened to me three years ago, would you still be able to find me now? Since I'm still standing here, doesn't that mean there's no problem?"

"...Then, why have you always refused to show up?"

The freezing rain that still didn't stop followed the cold wind in the game and passed over the heads of the two people sitting on the wall next to the roof, and then fell sporadically on the ruins around the street. This was also someone who came to look for it.

When Duan Qing's Snow Spirit Huan Bing came here, she was the first to see the scene. She frowned slightly while pressing the hilt of her sword, and finally slowly buried some kind of sad feeling in her heart.

Then after moving forward for a period of time, I heard the conversation between the two people more clearly: "...I have said that I am no longer the person I used to be, and we are almost in two different worlds.

Even if we meet again, what's the point?"

"But the Duan family..."

"No need to say any more."

Duan Qing seemed to have also noticed the figure of the woman who was walking up and was listening at the moment. Duan Qing gently interrupted the murmuring words, and the tenderness on his face gradually faded away, replaced by a look on his face.

Chang Gua's usual smile: "In every sense, things in the game will not interfere with reality. Anyway, I have withdrawn from the professional circle. Now I just work casually and enjoy life...

…”

"Isn't it a good thing that we can often meet in the game?" He said with a smile: "What that little girl Mengzhu yells about in the friend channel every day... Now we can do it every day

It’s done.”

"...You are referring to the thing about that girl asking you to go back?"

After a slight silence for a while, Xue Ling Huan Bing, who came forward, said in a low voice. The eyes that had been observing the murmuring words slowly moved away with the appearance of these words: "When are you planning to

go back?"

"...Why do you want to leave so soon?" Duan Qing smiled and replied: "If you are anxious to return to the Wings of Freedom, I will not stop you. They should have withdrawn by now.

To the west of Xingfeng Plain, it is quite close to us..."

"I've never said anything like that."

Patting Duan Qing's hand pointing to the west away, Xue Ling Huanbing replied calmly: "I just simply want to know your future plans. After all, things here should have come to an end..."

"Are you talking about the battle, or the mission of the special envoy?" Duan Qing patted his forehead: "Although the battle is temporarily over, no one knows whether the restorers will come back again. What we faced before

I don’t know if the right magic circle of Morna Star still exists. As for the mission of the special envoy... there is probably no hope. Several big bosses suffered heavy casualties and the city lord has been missing for many years. In this kind of situation

In such a miserable state, the Free City will probably not issue any statement or decision to support the Principality..."

"Judging from the current situation, this trip is really a waste of money." Speaking of this, he smiled bitterly and shook his head: "If we leave like this now, I don't know what to do with Pa."

Mir returns to life..."

"Pamir probably doesn't have much time to pay attention to you now."

Seemingly recovering from the previous low mood, Xu Yu Liushang, who was sitting next to Duan Qing, also stood up and walked behind him: "Judging from the battle report posts in the past few days, Zalaha City on the Feron Plains is now

The fighting is still fierce, Xifeng County is now under the control of the restorationists, and even Kalon Pass has been attacked one after another..."

"The principality is now under attack from both sides, and reconciliation with the empire is almost a certainty." She restored her previous elegant smile, and her tone was full of the confidence unique to upper-class women: "How is the situation in the Free City?

, they probably don’t have much chance to take care of it now.”

"In other words... the current situation in Liberty City is an opportunity." Xueling Huanbing on the other side lowered his head and said: "If we can find the right contact person, we might be able to take advantage of this disaster to persuade them to cooperate with us.

We work together……"

"It's us, not you." The murmuring words stared at Xue Ling Huan Bing's face, and slowly shook his head: "Pay attention to your position, the leading professional player of Wings of Freedom. Not only did you not play any role before,

He was almost regarded as one of the traitors by them..."

"...What are you talking about, the second-best former coach in the world?" Xue Ling Huanbing's eyes immediately turned cold: "If you hadn't been entangled with that angry maniac, our battle would have been much easier.

Woolen cloth."

"But no matter what, the second best person in the world still helped us finish this battle." Xu Yu Liushang crossed his arms: "At least it is stronger than a certain Wings of Freedom who tried to occupy the City of Freedom."

"But I have always been with Duan... beside Mo Shang Qingshan." The corners of Xue Ling Huan Bing's mouth also turned up: "I wonder who you and your team members were fighting with when I was fighting side by side with him...

Don’t you want to stop?”

"Fighting side by side? Stop joking."

Ignoring the increasingly embarrassed look in Duan Qing's eyes next to him, Xu Yu Liushang let out a haughty sneer: "The time I have been apart from Qingshan has not been long at all, and we have not lost contact in the middle. Even if we add up these trivial times...

…Probably not more than a few minutes, right?”

"Although I think I am right, nothing has changed in what I said anyway." The smile on Xue Ling Huan Bing's face became more and more dangerous: "And... what I said about 'around' is not just

In the game.”

"……What did you say?"

"Hey, hey, stop, stop, stop -"

Feeling the hair-raising chill between the two women and the topic gradually getting out of control, Duan Qing hurriedly jumped between the two people, trying to use his weak body to act as a shield to prevent the two people from attacking each other: "

We have all been cooperating for so long, why are we still arguing over trivial matters, right? The so-called positions, traitors, etc., let them pass away with the wind..."

"no!"

What answered him was a claw that could penetrate his flesh, and Xu Yu Liushang suddenly pulled away from him: "What did she just say? Is she already with you?"

"this and that……"

"……you!"

The momentary hesitation became Duan Qing's most fatal flaw at this moment, and it also made Xu Yu's eyes filled with tears again, but this time, the meanings contained in the two tears were completely different: "No wonder you keep putting off

He refused to see me! It turns out to be...it turns out to be..."

boom!

The building beneath his feet collapsed a little with the sudden burst of breath from the blue-haired woman, blowing Duan Qing and Xue Ling Huanbing to the back of the ruins. They were murmuring full of anger and sadness but did not continue to vent themselves.

Instead, he turned around and jumped off the high platform there. Duan Qing, who crawled out from behind the wall, shouted twice in the direction the opponent was running away. In the end, he sighed and shook his head. In the sound that gradually fell silent in his ears,

Xue Ling Huan Bing's slightly apologetic voice sounded again: "...Did I say something wrong?"

"No, this is not your problem." Duan Qing shook his head and sighed: "It's all facts anyway, there's nothing to say."

"...Why don't you catch up and explain?"

"She is just emotionally unstable right now, and she will get better after a while."

Looking back at Xue Ling Huan Bing's face, Duan Qing shrugged helplessly, then pointed at the angry figure of a chestnut-haired girl who ran over after hearing the sound, and shook his head with a wry smile: "And...

"

"If we are really separated, maybe... it will be a good thing for her."

***************************

"Damn it...Damn it!"

The footsteps running in the streets are still running continuously, and the murmuring figures pass through one corner after another. The running movements without reservation due to the fluctuation of emotions become as fast in the eyes of other passers-by.

As fast as afterimages: "What they said has passed, what they said about people in two worlds, but in the end...it turned out that they were all perfunctory with me! Could it be, could it be..."

Could it be that this period of getting along... was all a lie?

Could it be that the reason why he has not shown up these days is also because of that woman?

Could it be that those times three years ago...were they just a sideshow when he was young?

Could it be that he...

Do you really not love me?

"Hoo, ho..."

The running figure finally stopped in a corner of the city ruins. At the same time, there was a woman's unique gasping sound. However, as the gasping sound gradually stopped, the poor woman's thoughts changed.

It became more and more confusing: "Oh..."

"woo woo woo woo……"

Just like a continuation of the previous worries and suspicions, the woman once again covered her face and cried out in pain. The body leaning on the wall slowly slid down, and she collapsed on the ground together with her long blue hair that was wet by the rain. Incomparably,

The desolate figure then stayed quietly in the depths of the deserted street, shivering with the cold rain around it in the cold wind of winter, until the crying gradually disappeared, and the woman hugging her knees

Then he slowly raised his head: "..."

"……Are you OK?"

A low-pitched inquiry came from the far side of the alley, and then came to her with gradually approaching footsteps: "It's so cold and it's raining lightly..."

"...Why are you here?"

"this……"

Looking at the beautiful face mixed with tears, the angry maniac's originally calm voice also became a little flustered: "I... um... I just saw you running over on the street, so..."

"……Yeah?"
