Walking out of the city of Lentinium, the sky was blue.

Autumn has arrived, and the wilderness on both sides of the road is covered with golden ears of grass.

As all the people had gathered at the palace for Princess Vina's wedding, the countryside was deserted as far as the eye could see, and the road leading to the south was endless, without a single car.

.....

Like a traveler who has lost his bearings, Xia Feng walked off the highway and wandered aimlessly among the wild grass.

He had never felt that the sky was so clear, the sun was so warm, and the world was so bright.

Everyone's face is so happy.

But for some reason, he never showed a single smile.

"Plop!"

The summer breeze greeted the sun, and the whole person lay down in a large shape.

He has no motivation to move forward, no, to be precise, he has no point in moving on.

This world will no longer happen without him, and everyone will grow along the trajectory of their lives, growing old until they die.

He was tired and relaxed.

There are no more natural disasters in this world, no more source stones, and under the control of countries around the world, there will be no more infected people.

Some minor disputes may arise, but compared to the terrible natural disasters, the people of this world should be able to settle easily.

Yes, this is the world he expected, warm, bright, beautiful............. Lonely.

Lying on the desolate wild meadow, the summer breeze gently closed his eyes.

Is it raining?

.....

A hollow voice came softly beside him.

"Is this the world you want it to be?"

Xia Feng didn't open his eyes, he could hear it, it was the voice of the River Styx.

"That's right, that's the world I want."

Styx's eyes were deep, and he stood quietly next to the summer breeze.

"But the people you care about the most don't remember you anymore, is this kind of world really what you expect?"

"That's right, that's what I expected."

"Even if no one knows all the hard work you've put into the world?"

"That's right."

"Even if you're going to die alone in a world where no one remembers you?"

"Yes."

"Don't you want to get back something that's important to you?"

"I don't want to, because this world is too precious to me, I don't want to go left and right, I don't want to touch it anymore, I don't want it to have any more mistakes."

"Really."

"Really."

"Are you sure?"

"Sure."

"The person you love the most is having a wedding with another person."

"I know."

"Don't you want to hug her again."

"I....... I want to, but I won't do that, those precious memories are my last treasures, and I don't want to destroy them. ”

......

A cloud obscured the sun in the sky, and the wind rose.

The wind blew through the desolate meadows, making a "rustling" sound.

Xia Feng was still lying on his back on the ground, and he covered his eyes with one arm.

Shoulders, are shaking slightly.

The hollow sound of the River Styx continued.

"Summer Breeze, You ........."

"Why do you have so many problems!"

The roar of losing his composure came from Xia Feng's mouth, and the emotion contained in this voice seemed to be extremely lonely.

"Enough, that's enough, I just want them to live in this bright world, it doesn't matter what I do, this is what I want, I'm not afraid of death, I'm not afraid of being forgotten, I don't belong to this world, I have completed my mission, no regrets, how many times do you want me to say it!"

.....

Styx stood silently beside the summer breeze, listening to his gaffe roar.

After a long time, the hollow voice came again.

"Xia Feng, I have one last question."

"Say!"

Styx slipped his withered arm into his coat pocket, and at the same time, his question came.

"Xia Feng, in this bright world that was changed by your own hands, will you die without any regrets, don't be in a hurry to answer, calm down, think seriously, from now on, until death, you will have no regrets, and meet death with satisfaction."

The air fell silent.

Xia Feng's arm that blocked his face moved slightly, and the cheeks below were already covered with lonely tears.

"I ........."

"Will you?"

"I .............."

"Do you still have regrets, is this really the world you dream of, do you still want to hug them again?"

.....

Glaring at his eyes, tears welled up from his eyes like a spring.

Clenched his teeth, at this moment, Xia Feng finally said the true thoughts buried in his heart.

"I ...... Think. ”

"Really."

"I think, I think, I think!"

Sitting up violently from the grass, Xia Feng clenched his fists tightly and roared hoarsely.

"I think, I want to be with them, I want turtles, I want bagpipes, I want Hemer, I miss Ifrit, I miss everyone at the Black Feather Grill........"

.....

In the end, he still couldn't deceive his heart.

He's also human, and those incomparably important memories, he doesn't want to keep them in his heart, he doesn't want to.

He changed the world, but was this world really what he longed for?

Is it enough as long as all the important people are happily alive?

Is it enough?

Is it really enough?

No, it's not, it's not.

The answer is no.

Not enough, it's not enough!

Tears flowed endlessly, and the faces of those important people kept flashing in my mind.

Like an aggrieved child, Xia Feng looked towards the sky and roared loudly to the picture of what he really longed for in his heart.

"I want to live happily with everyone, I want to grow up with those little ones, I want to go back to the south coast of the East Country with everyone, I want to go back to the cherry blossom forest with everyone, I want to ..... I want to marry Vina, I want to be with her, forever together, never and never again! ”

.......

"Ding!"

A silver coin was tossed into the sky by the River Styx.

At the same time, all the scenery in Xia Feng's eyes disappeared.

A strong feeling of dizziness hit him instantly, making him feel like the world was spinning.

"Ding!"

The sound of a coin was heard in my ears again, this time with the crunch of a silver coin falling on the floor, unlike just now.

As the voice came, the image reappeared in his eyes.

.....

The silver coin fell on the floor of the room, which was the room of the Styx River on Hundred Ghost Street.

On the chair in front of the window, the weak Styx was still sitting there, and the faint and empty voice that seemed to be dying at any time reached the ears of Xia Feng, who was stunned in place.

"Dream, wake up."

————

————

————

In the cold room, Xia Feng froze in place, at this moment, he couldn't tell the difference between dream and reality.

"This is ......."

Snow was falling outside the window, and the streets of Hyakki Street were deserted.

On the chair, Styx, who was so weak that it looked like a dried corpse, gently closed his eyes.

"Didn't you just say that you have no regrets in this world, in that case, then do it, you should know that in Lateran, there is a key that you buried there with your own hands."
