The world of ruins is too large for everyone to be present, but it seems that all the memories have gathered here to put an end to this huge war.
The smoke of gunpowder has cleared, and white birds are singing around. This is a spring earned by the efforts of countless lives.
On the distant hillside, Noel watched the scene.
He murmured to the air:
"The Brothers Karamazov said: I love humanity, but I am really puzzled by myself: the more I love humanity as a whole, the less I love specific people. I am often full of passion to devote myself to humanity, but I can't stay in the same room with someone for even two days: the more I hate specific people, the more I love humanity as a whole."
He stopped talking to himself and murmured softly: "...So, there is some kind of 'programming' controlling you?"
While he was thinking, a "girl" in a Lolita skirt came over.
"Noel, if nothing unexpected happens, tomorrow will be the last day of the copy." Yamada Machiichi said.
Noel stopped talking to himself and smiled at Yamada Machi:
"Yes, today is February 5th. The day after tomorrow we will be able to catch up with the seventh day of the Chinese New Year in Longguo and celebrate the New Year."
"I remember you are from Yu country?" Yamada Machi said.
"Not really." Noel shook his head. "But it should be fun to celebrate the Dragon Country New Year with you. When I traveled around the world before, no one accompanied me to celebrate these festivals. Since I met you, it seems that many things have become interesting."
As he spoke, he fiddled with something in his palm.
Yamada Machiichi then discovered that Noel was holding a snow-white bird in his hand. The white bird seemed to like Noel very much and kept rubbing against the palm of Noel's hand.
"If we return the day after tomorrow... I have already thought of a rough itinerary." Noel said, "On the first day, we will follow the customs of Dragon Country. We will make dumplings, cut paper, paste Spring Festival couplets, and prepare New Year's Eve dinner together? Will Su Mingan like these?"
Yamada Machi, who is from Fuso, hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't know much about Dragon Country's festivals."
If it were an ordinary Dragon countryman, he would have long been bored with making dumplings. But for Su Mingan, who had no family since he was ten years old... perhaps these activities were really novel.
Noel whispered, "I heard that the Dragon people like a lot of people, how about we invite more people?"
“Hmm…” Yamada Machi didn’t know how to respond when she saw Noel’s shining eyes.
"Lin Yin must be invited, Luna and Lu maybe too, as for Lu Shu and the like..." Noel frowned when he said this: "If Lu Shu is not here, Su Ming'an will not be happy... It seems that Lu Shu must be brought along. And Su Lin... Su Lin should not come, it is hard for me to imagine him making dumplings."
"Do you think Lu Shu is still alive?" Yamada Machiichi said.
"I guessed who Lu Shu is, so he should still be alive." Noel said.
"Who is it!" Yamada Machi was very anxious.
Noel shook his head and said nothing. "As for the next day, let's go to the New World Guild together. I have already asked Seruo to make a suitable weapon for each of you. How about we go to the zoo the next afternoon? I heard that a district has opened a very large zoo. Whether it's feeding white pigeons in the square or going to the botanical garden to see flowers, it will definitely be very interesting."
"On the third day, we can freely choose where to go. If Su Mingan's power holder skill is upgraded, maybe we can go to Praia? Yamada Choichi, is there any place you want to go?"
"I……"
Looking at Noel who rarely stopped talking, Yamada Machiichi felt more and more uneasy.
Noel always does this, using optimism to cover up the crisis. Even though Noel himself is the most dangerous person right now, he keeps thinking about how to bring happiness to everyone.
After the end of the Ninth World, Noel will definitely be taken away by the organizer for investigation... As for the result of the investigation, no one knows what it will be.
Will everything be back to normal, or will Noel never be able to participate in the game again, or will it be the worst possible outcome... Yamada Machiichi himself is afraid.
"Noel, aren't you afraid?" Yamada Machi looked at Noel.
Noel paused.
His azure pupils trembled slightly, but no extra emotion was revealed in his eyes.
"I'm scared." Noel spoke after a moment.
"Afraid?" Upon hearing this, Yamada Machi stared at Noel's face, but did not show any fear at all.
"I'm actually very scared," Noel repeated.
Even as he said this, he still kept smiling, like a perfect porcelain doll, making people think he was always smiling.
"Yamada, of course I'm afraid," Noel said. "I'm afraid I'll never see those children again. I'm afraid I'll be detained on false charges. I'm afraid I'll never be able to start a journey again. Losing life and freedom is terrible for anyone."
When he said this, Noel looked up and stared at the dark coffins in the distance: "But some things that make me unwilling can make me rise above these fears."
Yamada-cho blinked and suddenly said, "Noel, if you have power, you will definitely lead all of us to victory. If you don't have power, you will definitely be safe. Both results are good, so I think the future may really be good."
Noel was slightly startled, looking at Yamada Machi's determined eyes.
He smiled slightly.
"yes."
“Maybe the future will be really good.”
"Yamada, I've thought about what we can do on the third day."
"What?" Yamada Machiichi asked in confusion.
“…”
Memories were reflected in Noel's pupils.
Pictures of memories floated through his mind, accompanied by the past he had never spoken of.
Bouquet, rings, wedding cake, church, orchestra, and the clock at twelve in the morning.
He clenched his hands slightly. The white bird flew up from his hands, landed on his shoulder, and gently pecked his cheek.
His smile was pure and untainted, always bringing warmth to others. The breeze blew his golden hair, as if he was coexisting with the white bird kissing him.
"Yamada-cho, I want to be with you," Noel said:
"Watching a wedding."
