Chapter 3: Sister
「…… Well, it's still the same here, although the body is getting worse day by day. Where are you?"
Sitting on her hospital bed, the dark-haired girl who had changed into a hospital gown was whispering to herself.
(…… )
"Really...... That stupid goddess is still sleeping on the Tree of Life? I really have the face to say, 'I'm going to rest, and when the end of the world or 'you' comes back, this goddess will naturally wake up'......
pouted dissatisfied, no wonder it was said that the goddess only had one favor, so that there was a ghost who could take care of others in the unit of 'year'.
And the "Tree of Life" is the collective name of Wan Yuri and the girl for the big tree formed by their [angels], and it is indeed very vivid.
"Hmm, I always think that the way we talk is very similar to Kurumi......
It's really similar, except that Kurumi is in a different timeline, and she's in a different world.
Some nostalgic said the name of a certain girl, according to the time here, she has been away for more than ten years, although I know that when I go back, it is still the moment she left, but I don't know how long it will be, maybe......
(…… )
"I see, it's a strange feeling to be comforted by ourselves, isn't that what we're working on?"
(…… )
"Then let's do it first, the information I gave you last time will trouble you to continue 'studying'."
(…… )
"Don't say that, don't you learn from me? Please, 'I'!"
Obviously, there was no one in front of her, but the girl still made a gesture of begging.
In this world, others think she is a genius, but she doesn't have that much energy and time to study those courses, so naturally she is entrusted to the 'free' people.
- "Shared Vision" and "Shared Consciousness".
Because it is separated by a soul, as long as one party learns it, the other party can naturally understand it after they are shared.
Maybe that's the biggest cheating ability of a girl.
"Huh? Don't forget how much time you have left? Ah, I see, after all, it's my own 'death period'."
With a wry smile, the black-haired girl buried her head in her knees and clicked something in the void with her hand.
[Name]: Konno Kapok Ji (Yuki)
[Race]: Human
[Strength]: 8
[Endurance]: 7
[Spiritual Power]: ---
[Dexterity]: 10
[Skill]: None
[Status]: The Light of Life is activated
(What a shabby statistic...... )
The latest system (self-titled) given by the goddess (self-titled) seems to change with different worlds, and the way the values are displayed is refreshed and fine-tuned.
And the [Reincarnation Integration] that couldn't be used in the first world is no longer a gray button this time.
After clicking on it, the black-haired girl, that is, Yuki, can see that there is a full-body portrait of Wan Yuli on it.
There's also a small line of print underneath.
[Ability Adaptation Rate: 8%]
In other words, most of Wan Yuli's abilities are not applicable to this world. So at most, she can only create some breeze and ice cubes, and use her voice to hint at others, and it is already the limit to bring a physique aura that can be healthier for the people around her.
Hmm, she still looks pretty good compared to ordinary people?
However, this will be meaningless in the virtual world in the future......
With a self-deprecating sigh, Yuki glanced at the last [hint] again.
【Advent World: Sword Art Online】
[Survival Tips: As a character who is born to face death, you can take this as a test for you, the way to survive is not only to heal your body, you must know that there is not only one form of life. 】
[Bento recycling rate: 18%]
(18%...... It's a little less than yesterday.,It's really uncomfortable to watch your own death count seconds every day.。 )
Closing the [System] page that made him feel bad, Yuki quietly looked out the window and continued to communicate with a certain consciousness.
……
(…… )
"Well, I'll leave the 'care' over there to you, in case I really ......."
「…… Xiaoyou?"
"Forehead ——?!"
A sudden call for the girl's nickname came from the door, causing Yuki to stop discussing with herself.
Why does this always feel weird......
「…… Talking to your air friend Xiao Wan again? If Naoba finds out, she'll be angry again!"
"Sister Lan?"
It seems that Yuki's actions have been taken as a habit, and a girl with a similar appearance to her walks in and puts aside the gift she has brought in her hand.
"I said that your own health has just improved, so you don't need to come to see me every day."
「…… My important sister lives in the hospital, so how can I stay at home with peace of mind."
"Well, I can't talk about you all the time."
Looking at the long-haired girl who is with her mother in this life, Yuki smiled.
Ryoko Konno, that's Yuki's twin sister.
Unlike Yuki, whose physical condition has deteriorated again, Lanzi and their mother are also AIDS patients, but because of Yuki, they have undergone timely treatment, and now their condition has been controlled, according to their attending doctor, as long as they continue to recuperate, they can basically continue their lives for nearly 20 years, and by that time, AIDS may not be a terminal illness.
And the reason why Yuki's body continues to deteriorate is mostly due to the fact that he has a buff that is not affected by weakness.
So for Yuki, who refuses to receive treatment properly and seems to be very busy every day, her family doesn't understand it.
She was even interrogated by three divisions for this purpose.
It's just that to this day, Lanzi can't forget the words that Yuki, who was only nine years old at home that day, said with a smile.
【…… As long as my life has the value of existence, what is the difference between two years and twenty years? 】
【…… For me, as long as the people I care about can live happily, that's enough. 】
[So, please forgive me for my 'willfulness'! 】
Is that really a word that a child can understand? Lanzi didn't know. All she knew was that in the end her parents agreed in tears.
(Compared to Xiaoyu, who has a clear goal, I'm really unqualified as an older sister...... )
(Perhaps that's why the gods are jealous, or 'love' her, and want her to come back sooner...... )
Fiddling with the vase on the edge of the windowsill, Lanzi's preoccupied expression was a little gloomy.
"That's right, Sister Lan! Can you please do me a favor?"
However, Yuki, who was planning an escape plan, apparently didn't notice this.
「……?」
Hearing her sister greeting herself, Lanzi, who turned around, looked at the bright smiling face suspiciously, and quietly listened to her request.
Continue.
(...... So, from that day I decided. No matter what decision Xiaoyou makes, I will support her in the future. )
(because...... )
……
"Miss Lanzi, please don't give in to that idiot, okay? We're going to bother you if you do that."
Half an hour later, sitting on the hospital bed where Yuki was supposed to stay, my sister, who had the same appearance as her sister, smiled calmly and looked at Dr. Kurahashi who came to do rounds.
(This is already the only thing I can do for my sister.) )
It was a very gentle smile, but it was clumsy and sad.
