Chapter 94 Eri's Past

Chapter 97 Eri's Past

Perhaps it was the end of the year, the weather had become much colder.

After saying hello to Uesugi Yue, Mu Qingzhi took Eri out directly. Considering her situation, she did not take Eri to any crowded places, but only to a nearby shopping mall.

Because she had been weak and sick since childhood, Eri had spent most of her life alone in that small yard. Her world was limited to the room full of various game cartridges and the unchanging scenery in the yard outside.

It was precisely because of this that she was extremely lacking in common sense.

Her understanding of the world either came from the teachings of the mentor she mentioned, or was pieced together from those games, so during the time in the hospital, she often did things that seemed incredible to ordinary people.

——Knowing the real world and reconstructing common sense, this is the first lesson that Mu Qingzhi wants to teach Eri.

The two of them had fun together in the mall, grabbed dolls in front of the claw machine, sat in the store to taste desserts and cakes, sat in front of the fountain with a cup of Coke each, walked in the park next to it, and then ran to the aquarium to see dolphins and penguins... This lasted a whole day.

There were naturally some small episodes in the middle, such as a man who wanted to come over and chat with them, or a scout who found them and wanted to sign a contract with them to make them debut as idols, but before these people could get close to them, they were dealt with in advance by the black suits who were following nearby.

In fact, Mu Qingzhi personally didn't like to bring bodyguards when traveling, but considering that she brought Eri with her this time, she simply asked Uesugi Yue to ask some people to come.

... It turned out that her decision was quite wise.

"How is it, what do you think?"

As the night deepened, sitting on a bench under the streetlight in the park, after stretching a little comfortably, Mu Qingzhi turned her head and looked at Eri next to her.

The other person was wearing a beautiful dress that she had just bought from the mall today. The main color of the dress was a warm yellow. The belt was tied into a bow at the back of the waist, and a white belt was tied above the forehead. She looked like a princess who ran away from home from a fairy tale.

Well... By the way, Eri had previously seen a set of medieval full-body armor at the mall, with a fully enclosed helmet-like one. If she paid in full, the store manager would give her a knight's long sword as an extra gift.

After much persuasion, and after promising to buy the armor and have it sent back, Mu Qingzhi finally persuaded Eri, who was reluctant to leave, to leave the window.

If she hadn't persuaded him at that time, who knows, there might be a medieval tin can sitting next to her now...

〖...The world is beautiful.〗

After thinking for a while, Eri showed her the note.

〖Both dolphins and penguins are very cute, I like them very much. 〗

In the past, the thing she saw most was the fallen leaves in the yard. Although a few birds would fly over occasionally, they would not stay in the yard for too long.

In fact, she had raised pets before, and the tutor would try his best to meet her requests. She still remembers the joy she felt when she first got the bird and took care of it wholeheartedly, but a few days later, the bird died stiffly in front of her.

After that, it was as if a certain spell had been opened. No matter how careful she was, no matter what she raised, whether it was a bird, a turtle or a goldfish, those pets would die strangely within a few days.

The tutor would regretfully tell her that those pets could not stand the environment here, but it didn't matter. She could buy another batch for her and guarantee that they would be exactly the same as the original pets... But even if they looked the same, those pets were not the original pets.

Over time, she no longer made such requests, but when the tutor made such remarks again, she would turn her head and quietly look at the distant sky outside the window.

"Hmm...dolphins are indeed very cute."

After thinking for a while, Mu Qingzhi nodded in agreement.

〖Aren't penguins cute?〗

Eriyi tilted her head slightly, looking a little confused.

"It's cute, but I don't know why. When I saw the penguin coming towards me, I always felt that its next step was to ask me if I wanted to recharge Q coins..."

After coughing a few times, Mu Qingzhi turned her head and looked at the other party.

"By the way, is it convenient for you to tell me about your past? If it's not convenient, I won't force you. I'm just a little curious..."

Shaking her head, Eriyi interrupted her.

〖It's not inconvenient. There are actually very few things I can talk about in the past. If my sister wants to hear it, I can tell her.〗

"...Okay, go ahead."

I didn't expect it to be so smooth. After a little pause, Mu Qingzhi sat up straight subconsciously.

Unlike the original story where Eri was always protected and imprisoned in a steel cage, Eri is now growing up with the Oni Clan. Because she does not have the conditions of the Snake Family, she has been weak and sick since she was a child. She can only stay in the room and watch the yard. She is so weak that she can't even stand up.

It is difficult to say which of these two conditions is better, but in this different educational environment, Eri's own personality has not changed much, which is a miracle.

But soon, watching the words written slowly on the note by Eri, Mu Qingzhi could not help but fall silent.

In Eri's impression, it was from the time she could remember, not in the empty yard at the beginning, but in a closed room with a lot of steel. Many people surrounded her and knelt down to her fanatically after seeing her open her eyes.

...That was her first impression of this world.

At first, those people respected her very much, and called her the hope of the future of the ghosts with eager expressions, but after discovering that her health was very poor and she was often sick, those people's attitudes became worse and worse.

Until one day, she accidentally killed a person.

——Because of a word from her mouth, the person was broken into two pieces in front of her.

The hot blood splashed on her face, but she only felt at a loss.

At that time, she didn't understand what it was, but after discovering that those people began to respect her again and praised her fanatically because of this incident, she began to like this feeling.

From that day on, those people began to send some of the captured people to her, and then kneeled in front of her and said in a pious tone that these criminals needed to be executed by you, Lord Dragon King, so that others could witness your heroic figure with their own eyes... She did it.

At that time, she sat on the throne that those people built for her, curiously and quietly watching those who were executed and judged by her dying painfully one by one in front of her, and the surrounding background was the fanatical cheers of those people.

...Very noisy, which made her a little annoying.

Then one day, she found that she couldn't stand up.

Although she was weak and sick before, she could still walk, run and jump. But after she started to judge and execute criminals, every trial and execution made her originally fragile body overwhelmed... until she could no longer stand up.

It was at this time that the mentor appeared beside her.

The other party forcibly banned this useless trial process, invited the best doctor to take care of her body, and warned her not to abuse her abilities and not to talk normally, and then sent her to the yard for rest...

In the mentor, she felt a feeling she had never had before, which was something that those people who only knelt in front of her with fanatical expressions could not give her, making her feel very warm.

But the mentor was very busy and would not come to see her often. In addition, she was so weak at that time that she couldn't even sit up, so she had to lie quietly in the room and count the falling leaves outside in a daze.

At that time, she actually didn't understand what death was until one day the mentor gave her a little bird as a pet to relieve her boredom. After she accidentally killed the little bird she liked, she really understood what death was for the first time.

Death is the disappearance of temperature, no longer making sounds, and no longer being intimate with her cheeks and palms to act coquettishly to her like before...That was the first time she cried in her memory.

Holding the little bird, she cried so loudly that she couldn't even catch her breath, but no one came to comfort her, and no one heard her cry.

——Since that day, she would never choose to speak again.

PS: Good morning (づ●─●)づ

I will never dare to stay up late again. After getting up in the morning, my stomach hurt all morning...

After this, there will be about three more chapters today.
