Chapter 125 Extra 1: Peruvian
The water god Fukaros is in office, the 486th year.
The sunlight passed through the glass and fell on Peruvian's dark pupils, reflecting no light at all. She slowly raised her hand and touched her eyes with the reflection in the glass.
I can't feel the lines on my fingers, they're a bit dry and astringent...
Unfortunately, this behavior could not touch the unique red "X"-shaped pattern in Peruvian's eyes. Therefore, she had no way of realizing that her eyes and the mushrooms might have something in common in terms of touch.
Today is a little special for Peruvian.
She had completed [Anti-Thor Trial IV] the day before. And according to what Peruvian sensed from the mark, this "martial arts teacher" only had one last level of strength left.
But Peruvili believed that the final level was undoubtedly that of a god. She was only fifteen years old, and she wasn't confident enough to believe she could defeat the god revered as the "God of War" by the Inazuma people in the next three years before turning eighteen...
It would be fine if her enemy was Thor. It's not that Peruvian can't push herself a little, but the improvement of martial arts is not an ideal curve.
However, in reality, the person Peruvian wanted to defeat was the [mother] of [House of Hearth], the fourth executive officer of [The Fatui], Kugavina.
It was said that the higher the Fatui's rank, the more power they possessed, rivaling that of the gods. Coincidentally, for the past five years, the opponents that had helped Peruvian increase his military prowess were gods.
Perhaps she is still some distance away from Kugavina. If she can control her temper and hone herself for a few more years, it would be safer to take action when that person's suppression of Kugavina comes to an end.
But she was not afraid.
Peruvili thought that if he always relied on the margins left by others, his martial arts would not improve no matter how many years he practiced, unless it was a life-or-death moment.
…
Perhaps it was in this mood last night that the situation changed subtly.
Pelville looked at her reflection in the glass window. The mushroom pendant on her collar was replaced by a fire-attributed divine eye.
——That necklace was bought by Krevy as a gift for her when she earned her first money in the Thorn Rose Society.
After last night, if things could continue to develop smoothly like this, that would be great...
Upon waking up, Peruvian not only obtained the Eye of God, but the curse on her body also became much stronger... From the flames that were powerful enough to burn memories, she obtained the embers of memories left behind by her past self in this world.
The most obvious disagreement in the memory embers is probably Krevi.
The 16-year-old Pepe will kill Krevi, who cannot escape from the [Heartland House], in a battle, and then a year later, he will kill Kujavina and become the new executive officer [Servant].
Become "Alechino".
That seems to be myself?
Or maybe the current experience is fake?
It was hard to describe the complexity of the emotions. Peruvili could only distinguish the overwhelming murderous intent directed towards Kugavina.
Judging solely by the results, this seemed like a gift from himself. Among those fragmented silhouettes, which most likely contained the future, Peruvian saw the figure of the Fatui.
"It seems... everything will be answered after this battle."
Pelville's gaze passed through the window and fell on a soft bell outside at the junction of sunlight and the shadow of the house. He did not look away for a long time.
——
The midday sun was a bit dazzling. As Peruville walked on the road, her exposed skin felt a little uncomfortable due to the slightly scorching sun.
——Afternoon might be a good time.
She stopped at the door of the restored Hearth House, which had been baptized by a salute. This was the thought that remained before she saw Kujavina.
"Oh, [innocence] and [kindness], such beautiful qualities..." Kugavina slowly turned around, her eyes filled with mockery that didn't match the gentle smile on her face. "It only took you five years, and you're confident enough to challenge me as your [mother], Peruvili?"
Peruvian stared at her intently, the murderous intent in his eyes entangled with other emotions.
The embers of memory she gained in just one night, like the ghost of another herself, haunted Peruvili, causing constant turmoil in her heart and making her unable to find peace.
——"You will make a very good king."
16-year-old Krevy;
The exhausted, unfree, and unrelieved Krevy;
Krevy chose death alone...
"I will be..." she finally said slowly.
“A very good [king].”
Kujavina didn't know what images flashed through her mind, but the murderous intent that was leaked alone ignited her anger at being used like a tool to manage Hearth House over the past few years.
"Hahahaha! Really?" She drew her sword. "Then let me see what you've learned in these years!"
"If the Eye of God is what you rely on, I hope you can repeat those words carefully next."
An ominous, black-red power swept through Peruvili's body at this moment. Her dark pupils stared at Kugavina coldly, but she couldn't let the other party get any sense of superiority due to the height difference.
All I got was arrogance.
Kugavina took the opportunity to strike with her sword repeatedly, but all her attacks were deflected by the inexplicably powerful curse.
"Now, it's your [Trial V]." The black and red faded, and Peruvian spread her dark, spider-like, sickle-like wings.
"Do your best to survive, Executor."
The calm voice was like a clear spring, but it made the blood flowing in Kujiavina's body feel like it was freezing.
…
…
Tick-tick, tick-tick.
"Oh, there's still no news?" Cares walked around the room anxiously, unable to hold back his anxiety and asked.
Petronilla rested her chin on her hand, her legs crossed and swung idly. "What's the rush? The executive officer is the one with the problem."
"If she had known better, she should have disappeared immediately. Now, in a life-or-death situation, she's putting the child at risk of accidentally killing someone."
Carles couldn't help but say unhappily, "...where are you normal again?!"
"Oh. That can't be helped. My sect has always been like this."
"Alas, now I can only hope that Lady Finina won't be too impulsive..."
Such concerns are not groundless. After all, according to the original plan, under the suppression of the guy with the pseudonym "Leosley", the Hearth House can hide under the command of the Fatui for at least 8 years.
——Although the longer the time, the more mistakes may occur.
If the plan goes well, Peruvian will defeat the current executive, then attract the attention of the Fatui, and will most likely be recruited as one of their members.
According to the original rules of the Hearth House, whoever becomes the "King" will get everything here.
Next, they could work together internally and externally, with Krevie, who had adapted to life in the outside world and was now in the Rose of Thorns, guiding the children who didn't want to become Fatui's reserve soldiers into a new life...
The greatest danger to the plan is faced by Peruvian alone.
Originally, everyone had agreed that when they were fighting, they would ask Lord Water God or Lord Villette to support them, so as to at least ensure that one side would not be able to kill them.
Everyone generally believed that Kugavina was the one who did it, and even for Krevy's sake, Peruvili would not want to kill her. Therefore, they would do everything they could to protect Peruvili.
No one thought that Peruvili would suddenly challenge Kugavina, and there was a possibility that he would almost beat her to death...
——
——
Although her emotional outburst caused Peruvian to lose control of her strength, she finally remembered to show mercy at the last second.
Just as Ming Chong didn't want to harbor any resentment in Krevy, so did Peruvili. Those lingering memories had indeed stirred her murderous intent, but immersed in them, she wasn't sure whether the real Krevy was okay.
For Krevi, Kujavina is a person who will make her feel painful whether she exists or not.
There are ways to deal with such a person. As long as Peruvili can take over the remaining problems, destroying her martial arts is also a good option.
And considering Furninna's mood, even Villette would handle it appropriately within the adjustable range.
In situations where the law cannot take into account emotions, Peruvian, who is involved in diplomacy, is obviously more able to handle it flexibly.
Squeak——
The door to Momang Palace opened, and Krevy opened her eyes wide in anticipation and moved forward.
The first person that caught my eye was a girl named Meilushin in uniform, and then I looked back and saw the person following behind her.
"Pepe!"
A surprised female voice caught Peruvili's attention. Along with the eye-catching red hair, he also saw the bright and warm afternoon sun behind her.
At this moment, Peruvili suddenly held her breath. She opened her mouth and wanted to say something.
For example, "It's over now, the winter aurora, do you want to go see it together?"
For example, "I'm sorry I hurt your mother."
For example, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I made you worried."
…
However, looking at Krevi's bright and lively smile in the sunlight, Peruvili felt as if something was blocking his heart.
She moved her lips slightly, but what came out was:
"The afternoon sunshine is really nice."
Krevy was silent for a moment. Looking into her dark eyes, she seemed to confirm something. "Pepe, you—"
However, she quickly swallowed her words and smiled brightly, "You're right! This is already very good."
"Oh, by the way, you must be very tired. Take a rest for a while, Pepe." As she spoke, Krevy's voice became softer and softer.
Holding Krevi's hand, Peruvili tilted his head to glance at her profile, which made him feel a little more real.
However, Krevy seemed to have noticed something was wrong with her.
It's not surprising. After all, a long time ago, Krevy was one of the two people who discovered the truth in the Hearth House.
Thinking of this, Peruvian slowly shook the hand back.
——Krevi is right, this is already very good.
