No Cheat Another World's

41 - [Lonely Hearts]

I don't have to suffer anymore, do I?

"..."

"..."

"Huh?? What'sthis?" I asked, when my steps stopped. No, it wasn't my steps that stopped. My body was held back by something, someone who had wrapped his hands around the back.

[Skill effect: Lonely Heart activated]

Damnit damnit! Just a few more steps! I will definitely get to the real figure of myself! That way, I will definitely be relieved by this pain!!!

"Stop, Ryoka." a soft voice flowed in my ear, from the figure that was hugging me from behind.

"Who..."

'Come! Don't mind anything!! Come here and I'll give you strength! Don't turn!!' I was there screaming in panic, trying to pull me there.

But anyway, I can't step even one foot. Whatisthis? Why can't I move?!

"Ryokas. Stop the. I know you won't be that easy to give up.." The voice again appeared, making the anger in my heart begin to subside. The beautiful sound is like the melody of nature, I recognize this sound.

"I had expected this to happen, and the skill I gave out was very useful, right?" she asked.

The skill? What does he mean? I don't know. But...

"Why am I crying?"

Not knowing what happened, I tried to wipe away the tears that came out quickly, but the figure behind you was faster, wiping the tears with his own hands.

I really have felt this touch. But who and where?

"You're strong enough, so let's go back" he said.

The figure grabbed me with her hands, which were wrapped in clothes with some beautiful tassels. I was unable to move, only able to follow that figure that kept pulling me towards the light.

"My self" who was below shouted, seemingly unhappy with it. But I don't know, I can't listen to what he's saying.

And no matter what, I just focused on this attractive woman. I was so hypnotized by him that I allowed him to take me wherever he wanted.

I could not see the face of the figure that attracted me, but somehow I felt calm.

"Ryoka." she called me.

"You have to stay alive, and go up to the top floor, yes!!" said.

Staying alive? In other words, should I continue to bear this burden? To endure pain and tears that continue like this?

The hatred that burned me... The fear that looms over me, and the feeling of loneliness that slowly kills me.

He said I should hold it all?!

Lies. Why would he say he knows everything? You won't know what I'm feeling until you feel it all yourself! Don't you fucking say understand, damn it!!

That's what I thought, but I can't get a single word out.

?!!

He hugged me, put my head on his chest, stroking my head gently. I was shocked, wanting to thrash and break away from it, but I was unable to move at all right now.

Really, why.....

Why would...

"Why.." My tears flowed again.

I remember this. The moment where I felt I could live up to this moment was a gift. Where there's a figure that hugs me warmly, even though he's not the song here.

("Again I saved him, did I?") I can only smile in my heart.

"Ryokas. You have to live. Keep living until you can find me, okay! You have to promise. I will never forgive you if you break this promise. So then... Please, stay alive." she said in a slightly trembling voice.

And at that moment, everything around me turned white, and I regained my consciousness.

"Hufft... Ughfg.." I breathed a little rough there, trying to regain my consciousness. My body was soaked in sweat, my vision was still blurred as well. A little wrong, I can go back to that place.

Still breathing, I remember what happened.

"Ahhh, this is very troublesome." said the woman in the dream earlier, asking me to promise there. And without hearing my answer or anything, I was sent back here.

"alright then. I promise to keep trying. Well, let's just say that this is an additional motivation for me to stay alive until I get out of this Dungeon." I said loudly.

The previous me wouldn't be able to say this, but I'm sure of this now.

This is my promise with that figure, Fei.

Even after he's gone, he's still helping me, right? It must be the magic effect of the [Lonely Heart] skill, which I got when I met Fei. And now he pulls me back when I'm about to be swallowed up by the darkness.

"But really, what is it?" i wondered.

I can't deny that he really is my figure from the bottom of my heart.

It's true that I want to destroy everything. I want to take revenge, and avenge them in the most painful way. But reality still forced me to wake up, and back off and bury that desire.

But, that figure took advantage of the darkness that was in my heart, and persuaded me to do something. And I'm sure, once I do, there'll be no turning back.

It gives me great power, he said. He is a person who has extraordinary abilities.

And it can be blocked with the [Lonely Heart] skill which is able to increase the resistance to miasma, so it is a miasma. Plus I just consumed a top-tier magic stone, I'm sure it has something to do with miasma.

"Is that the center of miasma?"
