Princess Otohime suddenly thought of something while trampling on her uncle, and turned her head to look at me who was looking at the task panel and shouted.

"You actually saw the appearance of the concubine and me! Then I won't let you go easily! Unless you have amnesia, you don't want to leave Ryugu City, come here! ”

At the command of Princess Otohime, a group of sea creatures rushed in, and they surrounded me with weapons such as spears and forks.

"Arambel! We're going to explore Ryugu Castle while fighting monsters, and we'll trouble you with route guidance. ”

Alain Bell rubbed his eyes, nodded, and began to plan his route.

I transformed my weapon into [Cadre Mo Evil] and rushed towards them, and with a flash of black light, I cut down a shrimp in front of me, stepped on its head, and jumped out of the encirclement.

"Turn left ahead, then turn right at the next intersection, there's a teleportation room."

Following Alainbell's instructions, I quickly ran to this teleportation room, and was then teleported to the armory of Ryugu Castle.

After finding the heavy object to seal the door to the armory, I went back to my room and began to search.

"It's so poor here, only 1,000 funds and a few bottles of medicine, is there anything else in the room?"

Alain Bell looked at it for a moment and said.

"Go out and turn left, there is a treasure chest in the third room, and there is a secret passage on the wall behind it, and the destination is Princess Otohime's room!"

I didn't want to know the relationship between this soldier and Princess Otohime, but after coming to the room, I used the [Lockpicking] skill to successfully open the treasure chest.

There is a photo inside, and some funds, and there is a big green-haired beauty in the photo, and her outfit makes people feel familiar.

Without thinking too much, I walked through the dark passage and came to Princess Otohime's room, at this moment Princess Otohime was stepping on her uncle in the reception room not far away, and I was also searching in this dark room.

Princess Otohime's room is filled with many valuables, but they are of little use to the player and cannot be used as an evolution material.

However, selling to NPCs, coupled with the effect of [Selling Badges], can make me a lot of money, so I didn't hesitate to empty all the things here.

"There's a secret passage under Princess Otohime's bed, and inside is something that resembles a treasure trove."

My eyes began to glow, and although I was harassed by my uncle this time, and because of Princess Otohime, I still made a lot of money.

I moved the floor tiles and jumped down easily, and this time I came to the treasure house of Ryugu Castle.

But instead of the glittering coin treasures, I was greeted by an empty room filled with a chill.

"Alan Bell, are you sure this is the treasure house of Dragon Palace City?"

Faced with my question, Alain Bell searched again and nodded.

I started exploring the room and finally found a three-dimensional ice cube of about 2 meters in the depths of the room, which is why this room is so cold.

"It's a person inside the ice cube, right?!"

There was an NPC frozen in the ice, and I touched the ice, and immediately, the information about the ice appeared in front of my eyes.

"Taro Urashima? Although I knew that this was a mission about Taro Urashima, what I didn't expect was that it wasn't the player who was Taro Urashima. ”

With a "tick", another task was triggered by me.

Mission Name: Rescue Otohime

Mission Statement: ???

Rewards: ???

Except for the name, everything else in this new mission is unknown, which makes it clear that I don't want to leave just like that.

Princess Otohime on the other side seemed to sense something, and rushed to the treasure house of Ryugu Castle with a large number of people, and saw me standing with the ice cube.

"Stay away from him! If you hurt him! I won't let you go! ”

Princess Otohime's roar reached my ears, and at the same time, I felt negative feelings such as despair and sadness.

"The man in the ice cube is already dead, why do you still keep his body?"

"Nope! He didn't die! He's just asleep! ”

I turned my head to look at Princess Otohime, who was crying a little, thinking about the purpose of the mission, to save Otohime, what was it to save her? Soul or body?

"Enough, you guys catch him for me! Be careful not to hurt the ice cube behind him! ”

With Otohime's command, the shrimp soldiers and crab generals behind her rushed towards me, and I also rushed towards them with my grip on [Cadre Mo Xie].

Black and white light and shadow swam in the shrimp soldiers and crab generals, and I fought back with two swords brandishing as I dodged their attacks.

After a while, all the shrimp soldiers and crabs that rushed over turned into points of light and disappeared.

For me, the best way to save the other person is to kill the other person, so I jumped and slashed at Otohime, but the next second, a voice appeared in my brain.

"Please, don't hurt her!"

I let go of the hilt of my sword and fell to my knees on the ground a few times before the ice in the depths of the room suddenly collapsed.

Although it didn't break, there was a crack in the ice, and Otohime hurriedly ran over and pressed her body against the ice despite the biting cold.

I looked around and saw that there was no one else's breath, and as I fixed my gaze on the ice, I began to think.

"Could it be that the voice just now is ..........?"

Looking at Otohime, who was frostbitten in front of me, I couldn't help but think of Koloro and Su Nuo in the underwater world.

They are all in love with terrestrial people, and as a result, they are separated by the lifespan of the species, although I have rejected Su Nuo, a silly girl, but who can guarantee her idea.

"Please, please save Otohime."

The voice came back to my head, and I asked, grabbing my head and looking at the ice.

"Save? How to save? Save what? ”

"Please save her soul."

With my head lowered and a wave of my hands, [Cadre Mo Ye] appeared in my hand again, and I slowly walked towards Otohime and said.

"If it weren't for this man's obstruction just now, Lao Tzu would have hacked you to death a long time ago!"

Otohime's body trembled and asked me for some reason.

"What do you mean by that?"

Otohime looked at the man with a cold expression in front of him, and didn't feel the slightest fear, but chose to approach to ask the answer to the question just now.

"Urashima Taro is dead, the lifespan of human beings is different from yours, and his soul is no longer on this body!"

Otohime's eyes widened and she yelled at me.

"No, it can't be! I don't believe it! People like you! How will we understand our feelings! ”

With a "snap", I came to Otohime at a wind-like speed and slapped her.

"Don't be too arrogant, old woman! How old are you or this kind of child's idea! ”

"Lao Tzu, can you feel the pain I experienced?! Can you feel the pain and despair of destroying your loved ones with your own hands?! ”

Otohime covered her face and stared blankly at me as she roared, while Alain Bell looked at me at a loss.

Looking at Otohime, my heart became extremely irritable, tears unconsciously flowed from the corners of my eyes, and I knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.

"If they could, everyone wanted to resurrect their loved ones, but the dead are dead, and they won't come back."

I grabbed Otohime's shoulder and continued.

"Taro Urashima's soul has been watching you! He is sad and remorseful about the way you are, to be honest, I just want to kill you every minute, but he wants me to save you, to save your heart that is going to fall. ”

Otohime looked at the man in the ice, and he was smiling at the moment, and his smile made people feel gentle and reassured.

Then, as if to answer my words, Taro Urashima instantly turned into a point of light along with the ice cube and flew into the air. Otohime and I had the last voice of Taro Urashima in our heads.

"Otohime, thank you for doing so much for me, but it's time for you to let go and rest, and in the next life, I'll marry you again, and, I'm sorry."

In the treasure house of Ryugu Castle, Otohime's cries rang out, and her tears washed away her appearance, making her transform back into the beautiful Otohime, and she looked exactly like the green-haired beauty in the photo I just found.

I looked at the point of light and muttered to myself.

"Pandora, can we still meet?"
