But Rokuko didn’t think that she had done anything wrong at that time… Rather, in her opinion, it was her current self who was “abnormal”.

The inability to understand her actions at that time was also a limitation given to her by “emotions”.

It has nothing to do with who I was then… Ugh…

The girl couldn’t help but blush again, and a chaotic and complicated emotion once again occupied her heart.

…If she hadn’t untied the lock in her heart, she wouldn’t have felt these messy emotions at all.

At this moment, she was only thinking that if possible, she wanted to block these emotions again so that she wouldn’t have to worry about these things.

but……

This is a deal between me and him.

Rokuko thought.

My actions and decisions at the beginning were correct, but now I am wrong to have such thoughts due to momentary emotional impulse… If I agree that I am “normal” when my heart is locked, then I should also acknowledge this logic.

And

She gently touched her chest, and her mind couldn’t help but recall the boy’s words again.

Do you want to give her your true heart and…happiness?

Feeling the beating heart below, the girl silently said in her heart. Among the various colorful emotions spreading in her heart, a special color gradually emerged. She didn’t know what it was and felt a little confused.

Likewise, she didn’t know how to deal with such emotions, and could only let them spread freely in her heart…

“…”

I don’t know how long it took, but Rokuko’s mood finally calmed down.

Although I deny my current self, I have to maintain my current state temporarily because of the original transaction.

·· ···Request flowers· ·······

…So, please be patient for a while.

Rokuko thought about it and stuck his head out again, but the two people over there had disappeared.

She breathed a sigh of relief, and carefully descended from the clouds, arriving at the place where the two had just stood.

Looking at the familiar scene in front of her, recalling the scene of the boy and the girl standing together, she felt another emotion in her heart.

…….. ….. …….

Rokuko frowned slightly, shook his head, and forced his thoughts back, looking back at the peaceful sky in front of him.

She tried to stretch out her hand and soon touched an invisible wall.

“…”

The girl pursed her lips.

As one of the creators of this barrier and also the core that maintains this barrier, she naturally knows what this “wall” in front of her represents.

but……

“The Lord of Seal!”

As the girl finished speaking, the key-shaped staff appeared in the air again and fell into her little hand.

“……open!”

The top of the “Sealing Master” was “inserted” into the invisible wall that originally did not allow anything to pass through without any hindrance.

There was only a slight sound like “clicking” and the staff turned gently. Under this power that could open everything, a black hole opened up in front of the girl’s eyes.

Rokuko took a deep breath, stretched out his hand tentatively, and carefully reached into the “darkness”…

……Several.

Chapter 1166 The Light of Hope

When Xiazhi and Lily returned home, it was almost afternoon.

The sky outside had become gloomy at some point, and it looked like it was going to rain soon. Fortunately, she came back early, as the girl had not remembered to bring an umbrella with her before going out.

By the way, the inflatable boat was never returned.

Just as Xia Zhi expected, due to the obvious wear and tear and bumps along the way, the water park staff asked to deduct more deposit.

Lily was so angry that she bought the inflatable boat in full.

…It’s not a loss at all. She will be a wealthy woman with a private yacht in the future.

“What? We clearly agreed that it could be returned the next day.” Lily said gloomily.

People don’t know you dragged it so far away to explore the edge of the world.

“August 57” Xia Zhi complained in his heart.

“…Next time, I’ll take you to the beach on the west coast for boating?” He tried to make a suggestion, and after thinking for a moment, he added, “There’s a hot spring hotel over there, too.”

“spa?”

Lily’s eyes lit up, and she was obviously moved, but after hesitating for a moment, she shook her head: “…Forget it, I’m seasick.”

Oh, I almost forgot about this.

How about… just soaking in the hot springs?

While Xia Zhi was thinking about it, the girl had already arrived at her door and stopped. She turned around and looked at him. After taking a deep breath, she said, “Well, today’s activities are over. Disband!”

He has the aura of a minister.

…Having said that, are there any other activities after today?

Xia Zhi thought about it, glanced at the gloomy sky outside the corridor, and asked with concern: “What are you going to do for dinner today?”

Lily hesitated for a moment and shook her head gently: “I don’t have much appetite now… Let’s go back and rest for a while.”

Indeed, her complexion still looked a little bad.

I don’t know if it was the aftereffects of seasickness, or if the previous “journey out of bounds” had left too deep an impression on her and she needed some time to digest it.

It is indeed a good choice to go back and have a rest first.

but……

Although it may not be relevant, Xia Zhi still thought of one thing

“…Have you finished your weekend homework?”

“I spent just half an hour last night writing that kind of stuff,” Lily said nonchalantly.

Xia Zhi couldn’t help but sigh that students in this country have too little homework.

Is that why you have the free time to explore the truth of the world?

On the other side, after hesitating for a moment, Lily continued: “And… I also need time to think about how our Brave Club should move forward next.”

Do you want to continue?

Xia Zhi complained in his heart, and then was slightly stunned

Wait? Us?

“You’re not counting me in again, are you?”

Lily pretended not to hear, turned around and opened the door: “Anyway… I’m going back first, let’s talk about it tomorrow.”

As the girl spoke, she greeted him and walked into the house on her own.

“You can’t skip dinner!” Xia Zhi reminded her from behind.

“understood!”

Lily replied and closed the door, blocking his view.

If nothing unexpected happens, she probably won’t listen.

…When the time comes, can you order some takeout for her and send it to her?

Looking at the tightly closed door, Xia Zhi was thinking about this when he suddenly heard a soft “tick-tick” sound.

He looked up and saw raindrops falling from the gloomy sky, hitting the corridor railing, making a slight sound.

Soon, the subtle sounds merged together and turned into the sound of dripping rain, and the falling rain curtain seemed to cover the whole world.

…It’s raining

……

“…”

Standing on the top of the empty wall, the sea breeze mixed with raindrops hits my face, bringing a slight coolness.

Seeing that the gloomy sky was about to rain, Rokuko didn’t care.

Behind her, the black hole that originally led to the “outside world” had long been closed, and a peaceful scene was restored.

The girl raised her head and looked at the sky in confusion.

it is true……

She thought to herself.

Although she had known about this for a long time, that was her own experience at that time. It was not until she confirmed it herself that she truly felt it.

I am really trapped in a time and space that I cannot leave…

And it is foreseeable that this space-time will soon come to an end. When that time comes, she, who is one with this space-time, will also face her own death.

die……

The moment these two words appeared in her mind, Rokuko couldn’t help but shiver, and a strong emotion rose in her heart.

so afraid.

She thought to herself.

Yes, “fear”

Without blocking her own emotions, psychologically, Rokuko is just an ordinary girl.

Just because she could accept it when she was in an absolutely rational state, doesn’t mean she can easily accept it now and face this inevitable death.

She couldn’t bear it, watching her countdown slowly approaching the end, and finally dying in this strange world far away from home, stripped away from the unknown history.

No one can remember, no one will know, just die alone like this…

When he thought of this, fear, uneasiness, loneliness, and all kinds of negative emotions that he hadn’t felt for a long time gradually expanded in his heart.

She knew very well that she couldn’t leave.

As this time and space come to an end, I will inevitably fall into that realm of nothingness.

Feelings of regret and fear began to grow in her heart, almost crushing her spirit and heart.

“don’t want……”

The girl could not help but squat down and hug herself tightly, her petite body trembling slightly

She didn’t want to die, and she didn’t want to die alone… At this moment, she hoped very much that someone could come to help her… someone could come to save her…

“……save”

As Rokuko silently recited this word, the image of the young boy suddenly appeared in his mind.

“For the sake of the entire spirit called ‘Hoshimiya Rokuko’, including the past and the future…”

In my memory, he smiled and said to himself:

“…I came here to save you.”

In the dark world, a ray of light seemed to emerge

The girl’s eyes gradually brightened up again.

Thinking back to the words he had said, she felt the same pain again, which she had understood but not experienced.

The light called “hope”…

…….
