003 Prologue (Additional 2)

In the end, Lisa still didn't understand what I meant, probably in her opinion, it was like a "life and death" thing. She knows very well that my strength is very strong, far stronger than the ordinary "sixteen-year-old human girl", and even not at all beyond her reach, but in her eyes, I am still an "ordinary person" in the end.
In Lisa's eyes, we are probably just ordinary people who have been blessed by great powers, are very lucky, and have great strength, right? Just as powerful and as heroic as the great heroes of their history......
As for the immortal category, even if I explained it, Lisa didn't believe it, and even if Lisa said she believed it, she wouldn't really understand.
That's why Lisa had to run to my room that night with a pillow in her arms, crying and saying something "I know you're a blessed person of the Light, and people like you really should take that path to becoming a hero, I just don't want you to go ......"
Something like that, rubbing against my bed.
In her understanding, I was going to do something very dangerous, to go to a place where I probably wouldn't be able to return.
She was scared.
Eventually, I felt a little sad about the atmosphere - even though the so-called "adventure" was actually just a game for me.
A little touched, what a good "sister".

At first, after crossing into this world, some players collapsed due to the accumulation of loneliness, fear, anger, and all kinds of negative feelings, and in this world of "no matter what you do, you will not die", some people go crazy.
"Murderer"
Just those three words are needed to describe what those people did.
Saying crazy things like "it's just fake people" and "it's okay to kill and play", he uses all kinds of brutal or despicable dirty methods to wantonly kill the local residents, just because he is unhappy to see the local people living happily ever after, but he himself is displaced in another world.
Is it because of jealousy? Is it because of a simple desire to destroy? Or is it because of the purest malice that has always been suppressed by civilization and hidden in the hearts of human beings?
However, those people must not have thought that there are still a group of guys in this world who have a high sense of justice and action.
That's right, I'm talking about the "Traveler's Tears" guild headed by the big bald head who came during the day.
The people of their guild secretly took the lead in contacting many people, and then came up with a strategy and plan for the battle, and launched an operation to capture those who killed them. Whether it is the meticulous planning or the high efficiency, it is an amazing process.
I also helped a little as a peripheral member of that operation, and Lisa was met during that operation.
In the capacity of "family members of the victims under investigation".
It was precisely because of this that I learned that the chapel in Morning Bell was originally maintained by Lisa and her adoptive father, but those people killed Lisa's adoptive father and deliberately left Lisa alone to savor the pain of losing her loved ones.
I still remember the heartbroken look she faced, and I thought: If someone must say that this is also an emotionless false existence, then I must grab his hair and ask him if he is blind.
In the end, the arrest was a success, and the murderers were imprisoned in an underground prison built by Traveler's Tears on real estate.
We can't hand them over to the local government, or they will face the harshest hanging.
On the one hand, we don't want to just watch our compatriots die, even if they commit such crimes.
On the other hand, we must not let them have any possibility of "dying". Because according to the rules, if they "will die", then they will definitely start the "memory rollback" mechanic, which will only give them the memory of how to escape from our pursuit in the end.
In short, the wicked were punished less severely, and the matter was over.
Since then, though, I've occasionally visited the chapel in Morning Bell. And after I quit my guild, the first thing that came to my mind was to try it out here and see if Lisa would be willing to take me in.
Lisa welcomed me almost instantly.
Without the slightest consideration of the fact that I am the same as those murderers, I will not die, and even if I am more cautious, I will not be punished in any way, and I am not the slightest wary of me.
She probably feels lonely too, right?
She and I, who lost her loved ones, and I, who didn't know how to face the world, unconsciously gave up their guard against each other, and the relationship between me and her was actually like a state of "huddle for warmth".
But now that I'm warm, it's time to do what I'm supposed to do, to shine a little bit of my own light and heat - although that choice is a bit selfish for Lisa.
However, dungeons do need to be taught.
We, the "players", are not really going to die if we go to open up the wasteland. But that doesn't mean we can keep putting it off like this. Because, no one tells us that "after a certain limit of time, no other problems will occur, and the plot will not be shifted".
The current plot is that the "Gate of the Abyss" has been opened by the demons' followers, and the demons' target is to seal some ancient evil being in the Fars Glade. As long as they exert their power in the abyss and successfully strengthen the "Abyssal Gate", then those powerful demonic wizards will personally pass through the Abyss Gate and awaken the ancient evil being.
In other words, if we, the "players", do not act, maybe the plot trajectory of the world will really change, and then we will probably all be finished.
However, maybe without me, the dungeon would have been able to be cleared on time, and even without the "Traveler's Tears" team, there would be other teams to challenge......
This kind of thing, who knows.

From the next day, Lisa never mentioned the events of that day, but she stuck to me very tightly every day, and she had to sleep with me in her arms, which made me a little uncomfortable.
I know she's actually very scared of parting, but as long as she doesn't say it, I will never mention it.
The days passed quickly, and the six days passed in a trance, and tomorrow was the time to meet again with the bald president. And tonight will probably be my last night before I leave.
The moon in this world is much bigger and brighter than the moon on Earth, and today, it is the moment of the year when it is at its fullest. Interestingly, there is also a "Mid-Autumn Festival" in this world, but here it has been given a more understandable name, "Full Moon Festival".
Similar to the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Full Moon Festival also has the meaning of "reunion". It's just a little different. According to Lisa, the Full Moon Festival is all about fireworks, and all kinds of mages perform all kinds of spells - probably because the moon is big and bright, so you don't have to worry about the fireworks covering its light.
So Mr. Aiwen, the secret mage in the town, also took the opportunity to show off his skills, but unfortunately this thing is not proficient. The magic fireworks were beautiful, but they came to me with a dry mouth in just a few clicks to ask for "enlightenment" to restore their magic. It's just a weak scumbag.
As a result, the elven druid in the town, who often likes to turn into birds and fly around, also said that "this mage is a weak scum", and then showed off "Starfall" in public.
After that, all sorts of spellcasters in the town came out, and the "aftershow" escalated into a "spellcaster's carnival", and even Lisa and I had a lot of fun.
Of course, unlike those who sweat profusely when they put two effect-focused spells, I'm serious about taking a minute-long "rain of light" without panting - because it's low-level.
As a result, in the end, even the mayor of the town came out to see the excitement: "It's really Kolotia, it's not comparable at all." But releasing this spell doesn't call me on, isn't it interesting enough~? ”
"No, no. This is mainly visual, and the therapeutic effect is actually nothing, just playing. I replied with a little embarrassment - in fact, this is the real Rain of Light, and although the level of the spell is a little lower, it is not low for the ordinary people of this town...... To be honest, I'm actually just crazy, and I haven't usually exposed my strength like this.
But fortunately, no one came to debunk my lies. However, Mr. Mayor said something that surprised me very much:
"By the way, I've heard, you're going to Fars Glades, right?"
"Hmm...... So you already know. ”
"We've known this for a long time, remember to come back early."
"Remember to come back early!" The crowd around them, not knowing when it started, began to shout.
……
I have to say, this situation is really a little unexpected.
