Therefore, she didn't quite understand the two of them arguing so fiercely, but in reality, it was a minor, harmless conflict.
She felt some of the words were hurtful, but the two of them were just joking around in a way that was acceptable to each other.
If Lycorina were truly hurt by An's words, An's wouldn't have teased her.
They only spoke like that because they knew she didn't care at all, and that even when they bickered, it was just for the sake of arguing.
"Of course! An Yi and I are really good friends! Don't let his seemingly dull demeanor fool you, he's actually a very nice person!"
Lycorina thought that it might be because Annie kept a straight face that Elsa thought the two of them were arguing.
After all, An Yi had an expression that said, "I'm ready to fight."
"By the way, Miss Elsa, now that we've figured out the cause of the 'illness,' if there's nothing else planned, shall we go help rebuild the town?"
"Ah... um, okay." Elsa did not refuse.
After pulling Elsa out of the room, Lycorina turned back.
"Anyi, can we come here again tonight...?"
"Come over at 9:20, before you go to bed. You probably don't have anything else to do, right?" she asked.
“No,” Annie said. “I can come over.”
"Yes, you absolutely must come! It's very important!"
Lycorina waved and left the room.
“Okay,” Annie said.
……
Because the plan to return to the Beast Ear Clan ruins will not continue until tomorrow, Annie spent the whole day helping to rebuild the town.
The goblin corpses burned for a day and a night, and a lot of them were cleared away. At the same time, the bodies of the fallen heroes were found among the piles of goblin corpses as much as possible.
Many adventurers struggle to find corpses; in fact, finding intact clothing amidst the goblin's biting and trampling is extremely difficult.
We should even be thankful that all the heroes have uniform attire.
Because the buildings were destroyed, the ground was covered not only with the clothes of heroes, but also with the clothes of ordinary people.
If it weren't for the fact that the heroes' clothes were easily identifiable, we probably wouldn't even be able to recover their clothes.
After the rain, and after being devoured by goblins, amidst the bloody, muddy mess, their clothes seemed to be the only evidence that they had fought here.
Most of the heroes were somewhat listless, but Layton's passionate speech helped them recover a bit.
At that time, it was roughly like this...
"Be sad! Be angry! Cry if you want to!"
I won't let you cheer up! Who can smile the moment a friend dies?
But! After crying! Everyone stood up again!
Do you see the corpses at your feet?! This is the home of everyone in this town!
Their sacrifice brought about this land!
Are we to let them risk their lives to protect this land, and leave it like this? ⊙」∩＠『Zero」
Do not!
We will rebuild this city! Let everything start anew!
Let those damned goblins see that we have risen again on this land!
Let the brave heroes who sacrificed their lives see that the city they protected has been revitalized!
May their departed souls, who remain on this land, see in the future that the people here have once again begun to live in peace and prosperity!
Their sacrifices were not in vain!
It won't be a waste of time!!
At Layton's call, the bewildered heroes finally rallied somewhat.
Before this, most of the heroes couldn't find any meaning in rebuilding the city.
It's like... helping is a favor, not helping is one's right.
They've already defeated the goblins, so why rebuild the city?
Many people harbor this disheartening thought and wish they could leave this sad place as soon as possible.
But it was only after Layton shouted the slogan, "Let the enemy see that we have risen again, and let the city regain its vitality," that the heroes found meaning and motivation to continue.
As night fell, An Yi arrived at the room where she had been waiting that morning, just as agreed.
Lycorina had been waiting for a long time; she was wearing only a thin nightgown, and it was unclear whether she had slipped out from under the protection of the believers.
An Yi closed the door and asked directly, "Is there something you need?"
He could probably guess what it was about; it seemed that Lycorina had been troubled by it for a long time.
He could tell the child was forcing a smile, always putting on a cheerful act, not wanting to worry others.
Under the moonlight, Lycorina sat on the table, hugging her knees, a hint of struggle flashing in her golden eyes.
“Anyi…I have a question for you.”
If I had the ability to resurrect someone, and I wanted to resurrect someone as well, should I resurrect her?
Chapter 7, please teach me this time too? (4k)
An Yi knew about Lycorina's special ability from the beginning, and he also knew that one day Lycorina would ask him about it.
This is like resurrecting a dead person.
"Is resurrecting a person a special ability?" An Yi asked.
“Hmm…” Lycorina smiled faintly and readily admitted, “I can resurrect a person.”
But only one can be revived in a short period of time...
There was no way to save all the fallen heroes.
So I feel... isn't this very unfair to the other heroes?
“It’s very unfair,” Annie nodded.
"Right? But...but..."
At this point, Lycorina's voice choked with emotion, and tears welled up in her eyes; she didn't know how to continue.
She didn't know how to describe her feelings; wanting to revive the other person wasn't just as simple as not wanting them to die.
"But what?" Annie pressed, almost "excessively," as if forcing Lycorina to confront the issue.
This is something she must face, both now and in the future; there is no escaping it.
“But…” Lycorina buried her face in her knees, “I don’t want her to die like this…!”
She said that her mother and sister were dead, her father had abandoned her, and she had no family left in the world.
She said she wanted to start a family, she envied other people's happiness, she wanted to love someone, and she wanted to be loved...
But now...it's desolate.
She died. (Flow)
"She didn't leave any trace; she just died!" Lu
He died alone, without ever experiencing any happiness...!
It ended before we even gained anything.
I...I don't want her life to end like this..."
An Yi didn't speak, but continued to listen quietly.
It's obvious she was talking about Eddie.
It goes without saying that Lycorina must already know that there must be quite a few heroes with this kind of background.
Lycorina got off the table, barefoot, and walked up to Anyi, her tear-filled eyes filled with countless struggles;
"I know she's not the only one like this; many heroes have also lost their families and ended their lives without finding their place in the world."
Why is she the only one who can be resurrected?
Isn't that unfair to the other heroes?
Annie, tell me.
Just like how he teaches me everything normally.
Can you teach me this time too?
Teach me, what should I do?
“Don’t you already know the answer?” Annie whispered.
Although this line is classic and cliché, An Yi thinks it's very appropriate to use it here.
"I don't know... That's why I came to ask you!!" Lycorina grabbed Any's clothes.
An Yi nodded: "Whether or not to save them depends on whether you want to save them or not."
"So what if I want to save them?! This is the power of resurrection!"
It's not fair to the other heroes that only she survived!
Moreover, what if there are heroes stronger than her among those heroes, and there are more important people who need to be resurrected in a short period of time?
For example, if you, Miluco, Mr. Layton, and Miss Shiloh were to encounter any misfortune, you should be the first to be rescued…”
Are you stupid?
Before the hysterical Lycorina could finish speaking, Annie interrupted her with a louder voice.
Wife: "Yes! I'm stupid! So... could you please tell me the correct answer?!"
"I was just saying I was stupid! I can't understand anything!" Lycorina's tears flowed uncontrollably.
Don't make me think!
