However, after a while, he suddenly noticed that the hair on Lily’s forehead was shaking a little.

…That’s the world shaking.

Maybe it will collapse in the next moment.

The woman finally said:

“One of us. Since it’s your request, it’s okay for me to follow her. But once I’m caught, there will be no way out. Now those who are looking for me have gathered here, and perhaps even this world will be difficult to break through.”

“Follow Awooo.” Lily said, “I will help you deal with the people who come up to you.”

Coco subconsciously looked at Lily.

Things have become like this…do we still want to fight?

I subconsciously wanted to stop it, but I couldn’t get a word in.

“…I have one more request.” The woman said:

“If that day comes, I am recycled… remember to find me back.”

Lily nodded: “I promise you.”

Lily says:

“…Then. Ooooh, please.”

The conclusion has been drawn.

Both of them fixed their eyes on the little orc at the scene.

Coco didn’t even have time to digest what the two people meant.

It was when he saw the look in Lily’s eyes as she looked at him – as if she was feeling at ease.

It’s like… I let go of something.

“Then… ow.” Lily said, “From now on… she will be the one to protect you.”

she?

Coco glanced at the woman again. This time she jumped from the ground to the ceiling again, and looked up at Coco who was sitting on Lily.

From now on, will she protect me?

“……how about you?”

Coco didn’t know what she heard from Lily’s tone. She hurriedly grabbed Lily’s shoulders and shouted:

“What about you? Where are you going again…?!”

Lily was stunned, noticing the urgency and panic in Coco’s tone.

Even Lily herself was caught off guard.

“I’m here.” Lily just comforted him:

“…It’s just that Awoo wants to become stronger. She knows much more than me. Besides… Awoo can’t always stay by my side.”

“…I’m not going anywhere.”

“I will in the future.” Lily said, “Sooner or later…Awoo will find the goal he wants to move forward.”

I don’t want to listen, I don’t want to listen—that’s almost what Coco said.

He just kept burying his little head in Lily’s body.

suddenly.

The world here trembled again.

“…It’s here.” The woman looked up again, as if paying attention to what was happening outside.

She said: “…your partner is more desperate than I thought. You have a good friend.”

“El?…”

Lily was stunned: “… Ai’er, still outside?”

“It was your friend’s resistance that prevented those people from breaking into this world so quickly. Otherwise, it would have taken a lot of effort to drive them away.”

She said: “After all, in order to accommodate you, this world has been forcibly synchronized with this world. Even the difference in synchronization has been almost eliminated.”

Therefore, it is much easier to break in than before it was opened.

But Lily just felt that she didn’t quite understand.

“El, why…?”

Obviously before leaving.

I kept reminding Ai’er about this.

Mingming Ai’er just needs to find a place, watch carefully, and wait for the fruits of victory.

Why do you have to work so hard?

Even before, when I decided to look for this beast artifact, it was the same.

Lily couldn’t understand.

“…As expected. Although you are strong enough…you lack a certain part of being human.” said the woman.

“……what is that?”

Lily remembered.

Not long ago, someone said the same thing to me.

The demon king who left a wound on his arm.

The woman said:

“For example – human love.”

Love?

“Love? …Yes, like?”

Lily asked.

“No. They’re different. [Like] and [love] are different.”

The woman said:

“As expected – you are still growing. So you can only continue to be confused and confused.”

“……I do not understand.”

“But this is the path you must take. Just treat it as a puzzle for you.”

The woman jumped in front of Lily and looked into her lavender eyes:

“I look forward to the day when you can solve it.”

250. Nothing to worry about

Life in the castle is still simple.

Lily remembered.

Although I have always wanted to go out.

Want to find a more real, more interesting and richer world.

But in fact.

Lily didn’t hate life in the castle.

Earlier.

Those days spent with my sister.

In fact, they are all lighthearted, reassuring—even nostalgic.

Lily doesn’t have to think about complicated things.

It has always been simple and carefree.

There aren’t so many [don’t understand] and [why].

There is no need to know that you are lacking something.

No need to think about what a human being is.

Or, what is love.

……

The old days in the castle.

Even without Al and Coco.

But there are still people in the castle——

There is Zizi.

There is Lin.

There is Nellie.

There is Samantha.

There is Doyle.

There was Wyatt.

There is Sister Iweni.

There is Teacher Hetty.

Wait everyone.

——Also, sister.
