Natsuki Subaru stood up in surprise. Xia Yu's strength had left a deep impression on him. Now that Xia Yu suddenly came back, he immediately felt that he was saved.
"The witch of pretense hidden in history?"
Yurius, who was the first to notice this, frowned, looked at Xia Yu and asked, "Aren't there only seven witches in the world? I have never heard of the name witch of pretense."
"Yes." At this time, Natsuki Subaru also reacted. He touched his chin and recalled the information he had seen at Roswaal Mansion when he first came to this world.
"It is said that there are only seven witches, named after jealousy, lust, arrogance, laziness, gluttony, anger, and lust. Among them, the jealous witch Satella is the most terrifying and once destroyed half of the world."
Emilia and Satella have the same characteristics, they are both silver-haired half-elves, so Emilia is hated and feared by ordinary people.
"That's why I said she is a witch hidden in history." While responding to everyone's questions, Xia Yu came over and sat on the floor, then looked at Natsuki Subaru.
Before Natsuki Subaru could ask, Xia Yu's pupils expanded slightly. For a moment, Natsuki Subaru felt like the world was spinning, as if his soul had left his body and gone straight to heaven.
The next moment, the consciousness that had separated from the body suddenly came back to consciousness, and the blur in the vision opened the curtain.
The darkness that was originally thought to extend endlessly dissipated in the blink of an eye, and the supposedly colorless world was painted with bright colors.
There were noisy voices and car horns all around. There was an unfamiliar ceiling above my head, and around me were modern people wearing modern clothes.
He suddenly appeared in a coffee shop, and his five senses were so real that it was as if he had traveled back to modern times.
However, the fact that he was in a familiar scenery made Natsuki Subaru's heart tremble inexplicably.
"Hey, little Subaru, looking at your expression, I don't think you've gone back in time again."
At this moment, the voice of the senior who liked to tease people suddenly sounded, and Natsuki Subaru looked around.
I saw Xia Yu walking from the side like a waiter carrying a dinner plate. There were two drinks on the plate, and a small rainbow floated above the drinks.
The wonderful aroma and sweetness penetrated straight into the nose. This real feeling made Natsuki Subaru so surprised that his throat choked.
"this……"
"Don't be stunned. This is all fake. It's just an illusion world that I built with my mental power. It's equivalent to a lucid dream. You understand lucid dreams. If you don't understand..."
"I know……"
Natsuki Subaru replied blankly that he still knew about lucid dreams, but after all, lucid dreams had the word "dream" in them, and dreams were vague and illusory.
How could it be so real, so real... He really thought he had gone back in time just for a moment.
"Don't think too much, drink something to calm down first."
Xia Yu placed the dinner plate he was holding on the table in front of him, then sat down opposite Natsuki Subaru, then picked up a drink and took a sip.
Seeing this, Natsuki Subaru didn't reply, but imitated Xia Yu and picked up the cup in front of him.
The drink in the cup is very strange, as if it reveals seven colors, and the rainbow floating above makes it like a dream drink in a fantasy world.
It was only then that Natsuki Subaru was truly sure that he had not traveled back in time. After all, there was no such drink in the real world.
Putting the rim of the cup to his lips, he followed Xia Yu's example and took a small sip. The colorful liquid in the cup had just entered his mouth. Natsuki Subaru's eyes widened suddenly, and he couldn't help but drink it all.
It was a wonderful taste that he had never tasted before in his life. The moment he took it into his mouth, he felt like he tasted a rainbow. Seven flavors hit his taste buds. It was obviously sweet but not greasy at all.
"How's it going? You feel calmer now." Looking at Natsuki Subaru's satisfied expression, Xia Yu said with a smile.
"Huh... what kind of drink is this? It tastes amazing." Natsuki Subaru put down the cup in his hand with satisfaction, and his trembling heart calmed down.
"This is a rainbow fruit where half a fruit can be sold for hundreds of millions. Even if you have money, you may not be able to enjoy the deliciousness."
"That's really amazing, hahaha."
Hearing this, Natsuki Subaru laughed. After a few seconds, he stopped laughing, looked at Xia Yu again and asked: "So, senior, what do you want to ask when you brought me to this dream world?"
"Very sharp." Xia Yu put down the cup in his hand with a smile, then crossed his fingers against the person, and stared at Natsuki Subaru.
"Because there are some things that cannot be said to the outside world, such as what happened in your last life. In order to get accurate information, I had to create this spiritual world."
"Although I can directly read your memory to get information, you are still considered an acquaintance of mine, so that would be a bit disrespectful to you."
"So as long as they are strangers, you can read the other person's memory without any scruples, right?" Natsuki Subaru couldn't help complaining about Xia Yu's remarks.
But the next second, Natsuki suddenly reacted: "Wait, take a life?"
In response to Natsuki Subaru's surprise, Xia Yu just smiled and nodded.
"Don't forget, I am also a time traveler. Just like you, I am an outsider in this world, so..." At this point, Xia Yu reached out and nodded his head, raising his eyebrows slightly.
"Not only are you the only one who has the previous memories, but this is the spiritual world and cannot affect the outside world. Try telling it?"
Hearing this, Natsuki Subaru frowned, his eyes wandered and hesitated, his fists clenched, and he tremblingly replied: "If...if it fails..."
"It's okay, I won't die that easily, so you can feel free to talk." Xia Yu put down his hands and lay on the seat in a lazy posture: "And I've said it before, this is the spiritual world, and the outside world can't affect it.
of."
Time seemed to freeze, and the noise from the outside world gradually disappeared in Natsuki Subaru's ears. Desire and hesitation appeared in his eyes, and he bit his lip.
"me……"
"I can't say!!"
Natsuki Subaru, who roared with all his strength, gasped and held his head with both hands, his eyes full of pain.
"I can't say it. I have tried to say it, but it will only bring more pain. I'm sorry, senior, I can't say it. I can't hurt you."
"Tsk..."
Seeing that Natsuki Subaru had been complaining for so long and still didn't dare to say it out loud, Xia Yu felt a little unhappy, but at the same time he was also a little relieved.
After all, the reason Natsuki Subaru didn't want to say anything was not because he was afraid of having his heart pinched, but because he was afraid of having his heart crushed.
This kid Natsuki Subaru is good and can handle it.
"Okay, okay, look at how confused you are." Xia Yu knocked on the table with his index finger and responded: "Isn't it just the return of death? What a big deal."
"Gah?"
For a moment, Natsuki Subaru let out a hoarse cry as if he was a duck being grabbed by the neck.
"Death returns?"
After murmuring and repeating Xia Yu's words, Natsuki Subaru's expression gradually solidified, and suddenly he shouted loudly: "Death Return, I can use Death Return!!"
"I know." Xia Yu replied with a relaxed expression.
However, it seems easy, but in fact Xia Yu is also secretly sensing the possible sudden appearance of the jealous witch Satila.
Fortunately, Satila's figure did not appear, and the other party did not affect the spiritual world.
"I...if I die, time will go back and the world will start over again. I am using death to return." Subaru Natsuki said again in disbelief when he realized that nothing happened.
"I can use Death Return! Death Return! Death Return! Death Return! I am using Death Return!"
"I have died countless times, countless times, and then I have to do it all over again! I am using Death Return!"
As he spoke, his venting roar gradually turned into crying. Tears gradually filled up Subaru's eyes, and he held his head with both hands.
"I came back through death... and came back countless times..."
"I have never been able to tell anyone that I have been alone countless times...countless times, and I am the only one to bear it..."
The soft sobs gradually turned into howls. Natsuki Subaru finally vented his anger and lay on the table crying like a child.
At this moment, Subaru Natsuki vented all the pressure that no one understood, no one knew, and no one could talk to by crying.
The strong feeling of loneliness has finally dissipated a lot.
Xia Yu on the other end just listened silently, neither stepping forward to comfort nor say anything.
After an unknown amount of time, Natsuki Subaru, whose eyes were red and swollen, raised his head. He glanced at Xia Yu, who had been silent, and said softly: "I'm sorry, I just..."
"I understand, let's vent, have you heard a song?" Xia Yu said suddenly, and then without waiting for Natsuki Subaru to reply, he snapped his fingers, and a BGM suddenly sounded around him.
"A man should be strong for others ~ grit his teeth ~ stick to the end ~ it doesn't matter if he falls ~ just stand up again ~ as long as he can do this ~ he is a hero..."
"It's okay to cry~ It's okay to laugh again~ As long as you can do this~ you are a hero..."
Listening to the lyrics in the BGM, Natsuki Subaru was stunned, and tears filled his eyes again. This was Senior Xia Yu comforting him.
This kind of comfort without words, but using other methods, is really...
Natsuki Subaru, who listened to the entire song silently, wiped his eyes with his sleeves, suddenly stood up, and clapped his hands on the table.
"I understand, senior! No matter you cry or fall, you just need to stand up. Thank you for your teaching!"
Seeing Natsuki Subaru regaining his energy, Xia Yu also smiled and said: "Just think about it clearly, because I also retain the memory of time return, so I clearly remember the times you returned. After all, suddenly the world will be restored again."
It was removed, but it made me miserable for a while.”
Hearing this, Natsuki Subaru scratched his head in embarrassment and replied: "I'm sorry, it's mainly because I'm too weak, so... Oh, I see!"
Natsuki Subaru suddenly fisted his fist, and a clear understanding appeared in his eyes: "No wonder you want to help me become stronger, senior. It turns out that you want me to stop dying and return."
"Senior, you really... I cry to death."
"Stop it! Shut up!"
Xia Yu blocked Natsuki Subaru's next words with a black look on his face, and then tapped the table with his index finger: "Okay, now tell me in detail, what happened to you in your last life."
"Okay, senior, this is what happened..."
Black screen...
Lights up...
"So, that woman said that fate was blurred, and she just said "Let's do it again," and you just died and returned?"
In the mental space, Xia Yu touched his chin and thought, while Natsuki Subaru used his memory to visualize what happened.
"That's right, when I woke up, I went back in time, and then you came here, senior. It turns out that you also have retrospective memories, so no wonder you came here immediately."
After finishing speaking, Natsuki Subaru drank the drink in the cup again. This mental space was quite real. He said so many words that his mouth was dry.
"Well, it seems that the woman is really the pretense witch Pandora. Tsk, trouble." Xia Yu couldn't help but stretched out his hand to rub his temples. Pandora's information appeared very little in the original work. He only knew that the other party had something similar to what he said.
The ability to follow the law.
However, apart from this ability, Pandora is nothing. Even an ordinary person can kill her, and she has no attack power.
She can only change existing facts through her own abilities, which is equivalent to changing part of the cause and effect.
"Senior, looking at you like this, that witch named Pandora is very dangerous?" Seeing Xia Yu's sad face, Natsuki Subaru couldn't help but ask.
"Of course, that is Pandora. In Greek mythology, Pandora was the first woman created by the gods. She once opened Pandora's box and released the seven deadly sins into the world."
"I don't know if it's a coincidence or not, but the Witch Cult in this world was also founded by Pandora, and the Archbishop of Sin can be said to be her subordinate."
Hearing this, Natsuki Subaru couldn't help but stroke his chin and said: "Well... so far as I know, Pandora also refers to an asteroid in astronomy, the God of Disaster.
!”
Because his name, Subaru, is also related to the planet, Natsuki Subaru is very interested in astronomy and star knowledge. Therefore, he quickly thought of the connection between the name Pandora and the planet.
"It's just that this information seems useless, haha..." Natsuki Subaru scratched his head and laughed.
"It's really useless, you might as well not say anything."
"Hey senior, you've gone too far!"
Ignoring Natsuki Subaru's complaints, Xia Yu retracted his thoughts, raised his eyes and said, "Forget it, the soldiers are coming to cover up the water and the soil. Let's go out first. At least we know what happened, and we can be prepared next."
"Wait!" Hearing that he was about to return to the outside world, Natsuki Subaru hurriedly asked: "Senior, what is the situation outside now? Are we being watched like sculptures?"
"Don't worry, the so-called Nan Ke Yimeng, even though it has been so long in the spiritual world, only a moment has passed in the outside world, so don't show any flaws, we have just met."
After finishing speaking, Xia Yu snapped his fingers, and the originally clear picture began to spin, and then the picture was stained with ink, and the world returned to darkness.
"!"
Natsuki Subaru's pupils suddenly shrunk, and the blurry picture came into focus again. His body felt like he was lying on the bed at night and suddenly stepped on the air, and his whole body was shaken.
Natsuki Subaru came back to his senses and noticed Xia Yu's gaze. He looked up and saw Xia Yu smiling slightly at him.
Seeing this smile, Natsuki Subaru instantly understood that everything that had just happened was true, and they had really been chatting in the spiritual world for a long time.
Natsuki Subaru lowered his head and cheered in his heart. It turned out that he was never alone. It turned out that someone had always known about his death and what he had done.
I still didn’t draw the colorful Persian cat today. Really, I cried to death. It hurts. It hurts too much. Don’t get it with the 200 draw. I hope I can get it tomorrow!!!
