"Hiss—what's it like to feel crushed to death for the first time?" Yuexing shuddered.
A real feeling came over her body, Yuexing realized that everything was starting from scratch again
"What happened when I was unconscious?" Yuexing looked outside the courtyard, behind the huge iron gate.
He walked to the courtyard and stood there, waiting for the return of Subaru and Rem.
After waiting for a while, two people appeared outside the door. This time the waiting time was a little longer than before.
"Rem, Subaru, you are back," Yuexing said as usual.
"Yes, it took a little detour," Rem said, raising the dish he was holding.
Subaru stood aside without speaking, his eyes a little hollow.
"Let me help you," Yuexing said, picking up Cai
"Thank you" Rem said with a smile.
Yuexing picked up the dishes and walked to the kitchen. Suddenly she felt like drinking tea.
"Rem, where is the tea leaf?" Yuexing asked Rem.
"The tea leaves...well, they are placed in the cabinet in the corner. Yuexing has never seen Rem making tea." Rem said softly following Yuexing.
"Yes, I must see it with my own eyes next time."
Yuexing walked into the kitchen carrying her
"Yes, just put it here, thank you" Rem pointed to the table next to him.
Yuexing put down the dishes, looked around, and opened the cabinet
There is a row of various bottles and cans in the cabinet, all of which are unknown, and there is a square box lying quietly in the corner.
"Well...this is tea, right?" Yuexing took it out and opened it
"Well, this is the kind I drank before, but it doesn't seem to be black tea or anything like that."
"Yes, this is a tea unique to the Northern Kingdom. Yuexing likes to drink this tea very much," Rem said.
"Mainly because I really like drinking tea," Yuexing said with a smile.
"Then, it's up to Rem..." Rem reached out and held the tea leaves in Yuexing's hand.
"No need, I'll do it. I'm an expert at making tea." Yuexing smiled and waved her hand.
"Then...okay" Rem nodded.
"Subaru, do you want to come too?" Yuexing turned around and asked.
"Well, come on a little bit." Subaru moved his neck.
Yuexing grabbed two handfuls of tea leaves and put them into the teapot. He asked about the tea residue in his hand and thought for a while.
He reached out and picked up the hot water kettle and filled the teapot with water.
"Wouldn't the tea be very weak? Add so much water?" Subaru asked doubtfully
"No, Subaru, the tea from this northern country tends to taste like tea. If there is too little water, it will taste too heavy," Rem explained.
"Just have a cup of tea I made with peace of mind. Come on, be careful of the scalding."
Yuexing carefully poured the fragrant tea into three exquisite white porcelain cups, and handed them to Rem and Subaru along with the plates.
"Thank you." Rem took the tea cup and blew it carefully.
"Thank you." Subaru took the teacup and looked at Rem beside him, his expression a bit difficult to let go.
Yuexing looked at the tea cup in front of her, thoughtfully in her heart
The unique fragrance of northern tea fills the whole room
"Yuexing, what's wrong?" Rem asked, looking at Yuexing who was motionless.
"It's okay, I'll take it out to drink."
Yuexing stood up, picked up the tea cup and slowly walked out of the kitchen, came to the courtyard of the Carlsten Mansion, and sat down
Looking at the blue sky reflected in the artificial lake, take a sip of steaming tea
There is a bitter feeling in your mouth. After tasting it carefully, you can find the sweetness hidden behind it.
"This feeling of bitterness first and then sweetness is so fascinating. This is why I like drinking tea." Yuexing leaned on the back of the chair and looked up at the sky.
"Hey, it's annoying~" Yuexing sighed and put his consciousness into his mind
"I said, system"
[I am, the user] The voice of the system sounded in my mind
"I'm trying to follow the original time and space as much as possible, but I always wonder if what I'm doing is right."
"If I follow the correct script that I know well, I can save a lot of trouble."
"Especially Subaru, I feel a little guilty for him. I could have chosen to lead Subaru on a smooth journey, but I chose to bear it all with him."
"I can even tell Remram the truth back then, but I'm not sure."
"Make sure everything I do is right or not."
[However, the user already has the answer to all this, right?]
[Whether you do it or not, there is a system supporting you behind everything]
As the firm voice sounded, a trace of clarity appeared in Yuexing's heart
"Yes, if I take Subaru through the level smoothly, then Subaru will never grow. Then when I leave, Subaru will not be able to save the world correctly, and everything will be in vain."
"I did not choose to abandon Subaru, but chose to go through hardships with him. While training him, I also trained myself, so I have a clear conscience."
"No matter where things go, I will take the path that belongs to me."
"I will carry the sun, moon and stars with me and keep walking for this world."
With firm belief, Yuexing couldn't help but smile
[I feel relieved to be able to see such users...] The sound of the system slowly receded and disappeared into the depths of my mind.
…
While Yuexing was talking to the system, Rem, who was holding the teapot, walked to Yuexing's side with a smile from behind and sat down.
"Hey, Rem? When did you come here?" Yuexing, who had just finished the conversation, asked with a guilty conscience.
"Rem, you've all seen it." Rem took the teacup from Yuexing's hand and refilled Yuexing's tea.
"Ahem, what did you see?" Yuexing scratched his head uncomfortably.
"Rem can see his expression, from confusion at the beginning to determination," Rem said with a smile.
"Well……"
"If you have any troubles, you can talk to Rem," Rem said softly.
"If you keep your worries in your heart, it will be very uncomfortable, right?"
"Just like this morning, Subaru suddenly collapsed, which shocked Rem," Rem recalled.
"He keeps talking about who he killed...that's what he said."
"That's why Rem is worried."
"I was worried that Yuexing would become like Subaru, and suddenly..."
"I..." Yuexing was about to say something
"Rem knows that when Yuexing looks around, he will always show sadness inadvertently. There must be a lot of troubles in his heart."
Rem frowned slightly and looked at Yuexing
"Rem can see Yuexing smiling after being troubled. I feel happy for Yuexing." Rem looked at the blue sky.
"When I was a child, and still now, Yuexing has always been an optimistic person in my mind."
"But Rem knows that no matter what worries Yuexing has, she always keeps them in her heart."
"Rem has always believed that Yuexing can solve all problems easily, but behind that, he must have... suffered a lot."
"Although Yuexing doesn't say it, Rem can see it."
"There is worry in the eyes, but a calm expression appears on the face."
"Rem... wanted to do something for Yuexing, but found that he couldn't do anything..."
As he spoke, two crystals appeared in the corners of his blue eyes.
Yuexing sighed softly and wiped away Rem's tears with her hands.
"Rem, don't worry about me... I won't be confused anymore."
Saying that, Yuexing gently held Rem in her arms.
"Besides, there is no need, there has never been a need for Rem to do anything for me..."
"Rem...has done enough."
The sun shines in suddenly, shining on the two people embracing each other.
Enjoying this short time under the warm sunshine and morning breeze
…
"I want to hear what happened while I was in coma," Yuexing asked Subaru.
Not long after Rem left, Subaru came to Yuexing's side
Subaru raised his head and sighed, sitting on the grass.
"After you fell into coma, I originally thought that things would be over after escaping from the fog. However, the development of things was beyond my expectation."
"what happened?"
"The first place we arrived was the village. The villagers called Ram and sent you back."
"I already know this, what next?"
"Then I met Emilia...then she asked me why I didn't keep my promise again, and then I told everything."
"But if you can't do it, your heart will be held and pinched by some kind of force."
"That's right." Subaru nodded.
"That's true, but the force that pinched my heart at that time was surprisingly not very strong..."
"You succeeded?" Yuexing said in surprise, feeling that something was wrong.
"Yes!" Subaru nodded sharply
"Then……"
"Then Emilia died in front of my eyes!" Subaru looked straight at the moon and stars.
"Dead?" Yuexing was startled.
"I sat face to face with her, and after I said those four words, Emilia leaned on my shoulder and vomited blood, then collapsed..." Subaru choked up.
"He just fell down..."
"I...killed Emilia, I...killed the person I always wanted to protect...ha" Subaru wrinkled his face and wiped away tears.
"Then what? Why did you and Parker appear in the forest?" Yuexing asked
"Beatrice came over to see after that and said that Emilia's necklace was broken. Parker returned to the main body to get it. He will be back soon."
"She said she didn't want me to die in front of her, so she tore open the space and sent Emilia and me out." Subaru smiled sadly.
"Sent to a forest... Then I carried Emilia and walked for a while, and met that madman Petichius."
"At that time, we were hiding in the forest, just like we said," Yuexing said.
Subaru nodded.
"What happens after that?"
"Petichius stretched out his self-proclaimed [Invisible Hand] to kill me, but I dodged."
"Because you don't want to die" Yuexing looked at Subaru
"The madman stretched out seven hands. I hid for a while, but was still caught by him. I was thrown to several trees. Several ribs were broken, and the previous injuries were also cracked."
"Why are you still holding Emilia?" Yuexing asked.
Subaru nodded.
"Then Parker appeared, and dozens of icicles fell from the sky, killing those believers."
"Later, Petichius attacked Puck, crushed his body, and Puck turned into a big cat."
"You also know what happens next..." Subaru sighed
"Then what are you going to do now, are you going to give up?"
"How is that possible?" Subaru stood up
"Now that we know the situation of the beluga, it's time to negotiate! Save everything."
"Then have you seen the time?" Yuexing asked
"This, no... the worst is to do it again!" Subaru said firmly
"There's no need to do it again. I saw time the moment I spotted the white whale." Yuexing shrugged.
