Chapter 173 Unlocks the Ending
A Cage of Love
Fuyuki has started making a list.
Louhu, Zhenren, Huayu, Tuogen...
She wrote them down one by one, and also drew simple sketches with strong features next to them based on her impressions of what she saw.
For example, a real person is like the stitches on a body, and a volcano is like a prominent volcano on the top of a head...
The ability to cover her aura, granted by the world's consciousness, was about to fail. She had to leave this place as soon as possible, otherwise the truth that she was not a god would be exposed to everyone.
As I was thinking, my pen suddenly stopped.
To reiterate, although she herself doesn't seem to care too much...
well.
She put down her pen, and sadly folded the finished paper neatly, tucking it into her pocket.
As Dongshu walked out, she turned the corner and saw a familiar figure.
She looks so much more mature than before.
The woman who would follow her around like a little fangirl would have a serious expression and exude an air of sophistication when she wasn't around.
Dongshu stopped in her tracks, quietly observing the other person, her admiration growing stronger.
Dog-Maki Tangmi exuded a serious and unquestionable aura, radiating the oppressive presence of someone in a high position.
She really liked beings like that.
The fact that she could so decisively and swiftly confront those old guys in the Spellcasting Directorate is largely thanks to her.
Before last night, the position of Director of Pyromancy had already been quietly changed, and the powers that belonged to the Pyromancy Directorate had naturally fallen into their hands.
The last time corrupt methods were used to eliminate corrupt people.
Then all systems will change.
Taking it a step further, getting even closer to human nature.
Dongshu quietly admired it, and then quietly left.
Then find Fukushiro, who is currently staying at the Dog Roll House.
"Yes." She strode in, then shoved the origami in her hand into the other person's hand, before smoothly sitting down opposite her to drink tea. "The tea is quite good today. I can try it after seeing it."
Fukushige, who had no interest in tea, didn't reply. Instead, he looked at the note in his hand.
"What is this, an assassination list?"
"I guess so." Fuyuki rested his chin on his hand and blinked. "Dealing with some of the more dangerous cursed spirits can bring peace for quite a while."
"How much commission are you willing to pay?" Fuheshner asked, setting a fixed price.
"Um... I don't have any money."
In other words, she doesn't intend to pay a commission.
Why invest here when everyone's leaving?
Moreover, these kinds of things can be left to the unpaid Gojo Satoru and Natsume, as for Fushiguro Jinji, let him take orders on his own.
At least those two guys won't try to squeeze money out of her.
“Tsk,” Fuheshen saw through her meaning and slander, “Taking money in one hand and doing things in the other is a matter of course.”
He didn't think there was anything wrong with earning money through his own work.
Fuyuki didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
However, this does not mean that she has to pay this salary!
This guy has been helping to look after Dog Scroll's family for years, and Dog Scroll's family has paid him a salary.
When they go out to take on tasks, their employers pay their wages.
The last time he was asked to deal with those guys from the Spellcasting Department, he was paid an official salary.
Anyway...
Dongshu tilted her head and acted cute, the gentle sunlight resting on her soft face, her whole being bathed in a warm hue that left one feeling confused.
There are so many adults, it's not her, a child, who should be paid.
"I know."
She complained softly, then poured herself a glass of water and savored it slowly.
The room suddenly fell silent. Sunlight streamed in obliquely through the half-open door, cutting a clear line between light and shadow on the table. Tiny dust particles floated in the air, clearly visible under the light.
Fuyuki lay on the table, looking at Fukushiro in front of him.
He was unusually quiet, and did not show that somewhat mocking expression.
He just sat there, looking at the girl in front of him.
His strong body seemed to lose most of its aggressiveness under the sunlight, and his eyes even revealed a strange tenderness.
Loneliness crept in.
It was as gentle as a dream.
Fukushige seemed to have sensed something, perhaps it was the fleeting lingering affection in Fuyuki's eyes, or perhaps it was the subtle change in her aura...
He stared silently at Dongshu, his gaze unusually quiet, responding to Dongshu with an almost deathly silence.
The tacit understanding they had developed over so many years allowed him to understand what this meant.
The god who led him down another path is about to leave this world once again, but human time is far too short for a god. When will they meet again? Perhaps they will never meet again.
All that Fuhesh was able to face was that cold, lifeless statue.
But he didn't try to stop him, not only because he couldn't do that, but also because he wouldn't interfere with other people's choices.
Fuyuki blinked. She thought she had no feelings, but when faced with such direct emotions from Fukuro Shinobu, she still felt a pang in her heart, and a strange, awkward feeling of wanting to be held back.
She really hasn't grown up.
Wanting to be pampered by loved ones at all times is like a child trying to prove that they have someone else's love.
However, Fuyuki cannot stay in the mission world forever.
However, the identity card had already entered the body of the World's Child, fused well, and bound him to the path of light he was meant to follow.
Dongshu glanced at him one last time, then said nothing, simply smoothing her messy hair before getting up and stepping outside.
The gods have once again chosen to leave this noisy world.
She left and never saw anyone again.
She didn't see Gojo Satoru, nor did she go to see Natsume Yuuki, nor did she go to see Inujuu Thorn. She carefully placed all these emotions in a corner of her heart, and longed for them to return to her body along with a fragment of her soul.
She chose to go back.
The God of Words is dead.
This world will no longer have gods.
After the slight dizziness of the time-space shift subsided, a familiar aura enveloped Fuyuki, and she did not open her terminal to check her mission status.
Just quietly, bit by bit, sorting out the last fragment of the returning soul.
Before her was a clear blue sky, and in the distance, she could hear the gentle sound of the wind rustling through the grass, yet she could still discern the thriving wheat seedlings among them.
Everything was in good order and peaceful.
Fuyuki leaned against the wall and walked into the courtyard. The power in his body slowly recovered. Before he could exhale the breath of home that he had inhaled deeply, familiar swords appeared in his sight.
Those tsukumogami who fought alongside you and her, who spent their days and nights with you... all their gazes were now focused on Fuyuki, rushing in from different places.
There was surprise, there was nostalgia, but above all, there was undisguised joy and love.
Their voices, their appearances, their presence, and the contract that stirred up a ripple of emotion...
After the mission was over, all the running around, struggles, and partings no longer felt so bitter.
The overwhelming emotions surging in his chest instantly overwhelmed his last shred of restraint.
Regardless of how much thought went through her mind, her body reacted before her consciousness could, rushing towards the sight of her family without hesitation, her steps quickening, like a bird returning to its nest, she leaped into the embrace of the crowd.
I miss you all so much!
Her voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement and choked with sobs.
The sound, vibrating with trust and affection, exploded in the ears and enveloped the Saniwa.
"We are here."
Dozens of eyes lit up instantly, unable to leave the girl, and countless voices overlapped.
They said:
Welcome home.
