Chapter 292 – Witch’s MVP Settlement Screen

The night sky was overcast and the wind was howling.

Over time.

The sky is getting more and more cloudy and thick.

Outside the window, it was no longer the sound of the wind that was whistling, but the noisy clamor that kept coming from some of the late-night stores on both sides of the street.

Department Xu didn’t hate the sound of that, he thought it was smokin’.

Sipping his tea, he prepared to teleport back to the courtyard to rest after a few more moments.

“Krysia, do you remember the first New Year’s you spent in Ellenson City?”

“Yes, Mentor.”

The Xu system gazed out the window at the scenery while making small talk with Krysia beside them.

The conversation was not very highbrow, just some reminiscing of the past.

Such as the cuisine eaten in Ellenson City, the awe of seeing Divine Punishment for the first time, the sea in Abogu City, and the peaceful exchanges during the Dragon Island period.

The breeze caresses the face of the years and lifts the fog of memory.

So-called memories.

Like a babbling brook.

Moistening over the words in silence, wiping clear every corner of the mind.

From the original city of Allentown, then Waghorn, Abercourt, the journey around the world, and finally New Allentown.

In the old dimly lit room, Xu system and the witch talked a lot.

“Krysia, I’m glad”, at the end of the day, the Xu system spoke these words to the magical girl in front of her.

“Now you have grown enough to be outstanding, even far superior to me.”

“I’m, really, really happy that you’re growing like this.”

Locking eyes with those gorgeous eyes, the Xu system’s face was pleased.

If anything, by the end of the second simulation, the Witch would still be worrying the Xu system.

The current witch, then, had reached a point where the Xu system was completely at ease.

“Compared to you, I’m not even close.”

Krysia shook her head gently.

To this day.

She still doesn’t feel out of her league.

The witch persisted, believing that she needed to continue to learn from the Xu system and stay close to it as she had before in order to do so.

“Krysia, sometimes it’s not a good thing to be too modest.”

Department Xu paused and continued, “With your current strength, it can be said that you are completely superior to me, and in terms of learning, it is only right for me to learn from you.”

Looking at Krysia in front of her.

Face that unaltered 17-year-old face.

Xu Xiang couldn’t help but reach out and rub the top of the witch’s head.

Well, the feel is as smooth as ever.

“Mentor …… I…”, Krysia’s expression was blank, she still shook her head, still rejecting the Xu system’s statement.

She is a bird of prey, and only by staying with the light can she grope her way through the darkness.

……

What’s the item?

What is life?

What’s a yoke?

And what is love?

The life of the Witch, the life of Krysia Kristina, has actually been about questions like these.

She could have done without the thinking.

Such questions are meaningless and do not alleviate physical pain.

But in the dark and cold world, there is such a beam of light that gently tears through the dark barriers and gently takes the hand of the witch and brings her to the light.

He said.

A witch is not an item to be discarded at will.

He said.

The Witch is the same person as him.

He said.

Witches are beautiful, the most gorgeous flowers.

He affirmed the existence of the witch, affirmed the value of the witch, and carefully taught the witch, imparting what he had learned without reservation, only for the witch to be able to defend herself.

With the limited life of a mortal, he accompanies the witch to the last moment of the end.

That kind of dedication, that kind of persistence.

Puzzling.

So much so that the place in the witch’s heart was taken up entirely by that one and only figure.

……

“Mentor,” Kryssa inquired softly in the thick night air where her exact expression could not be seen, “why did you save me when we first met?”

Xu Department is sitting in a wheelchair.

Was looking out the window at the view of the street.

The witch’s voice interrupted his thoughts.

The voice was soft, flat, like a breeze in the ear canal, brushing and scraping a swirl.

“Why? ……”

The witch’s question sparked memories of Xu’s lineage from the distant past, of filthy, stinking alleyways of muddy water and miserable girls wielding pocket knives.

The girl was holding a knife and her body was shaking as she tried to rob the Xu system.

Robbing the Xu system of the half-eaten bread in his hand.

Images like that are still unforgettable.

“Because, at the time, Krysia was scared, wasn’t she?”

The Xu system held out its hand.

Lightly pressed against the top of the witch’s head.

Rubbing, rubbing.

“…… scared?”

“Well, during our first meeting, Krysia was actually afraid of me, I guess.”

The Xu system pauses in its utterance, recalling the scene when it first met the girl.

He laughed, and said that he was not a respectable person, having neither the ambition to help and save the world, nor the perseverance of great benevolence and love.

He’s just an idiot.

It is the fool in the mouth of the people of the Army of the Seeking Life.

Seeing Krisa as a young girl, she couldn’t do away with it in any way.

“Even though your whole life, because of me, is delayed and wasted?”

“No, Krysia, I never felt that it was a waste, on the contrary, I found that time rewarding.”

“Mentor ……”

A witch as quiet as a doll.

There’s so much I want to say at the moment, but I don’t know where to start.

Eventually, all of the voices, all of the emotions, all of them condensed into a reluctant smile, one that needed no finger lifting:

“Mentor, I’m sorry.”

“I am, indeed, still not up to the standard of being out of school.”

Because you are here.

Because you are around.

As long as you were there, I could never learn to part with you.

Even in your absence, I will just keep waiting.

Always, always, always, waiting for you to come back again.

I’m really sorry for letting you have a student like me, but I have, and can’t leave you.

“Krysia?” , the Xu system was a little surprised when the palm of his hand, which he had placed on top of the witch’s head, was actively pressed down by the witch, unwilling to let it be withdrawn.

In the dimness of the night.

It seems to have a watery glint.

Flowing unchecked.

That watery light appeared fast and disappeared just as fast.

But the warm, heavy emotion that had been truly delivered was all that originated from the witch.

“Get some rest, Krisha ……”

The Xu system sighed softly.

After a moment, the witch’s trembling body regained its composure.

“Is everything okay, Krysia?”

“Well, thank you.”

The witch’s state returned to stability, and she seemed to be about to say something else, but her attention was suddenly drawn to the windows of the old house.

Anyone?

The Xu system followed the witch’s gaze and did not see anything.

There was nothing suspicious about the streets late at night, except for scattered pedestrians.

It was then that Kryssa made a move, putting on the witch’s hat Xu had given her with no expression on her face, while arranging the aquamarine necklace on her chest, and walking over to the window.

Aim outside the window and raise your right palm.

First, he held up an index finger.

Put up another middle finger.

Make the common photo-op Biehl gesture.

“Krysia, what are you doing ……”

“You needn’t mind, just sharing the pleasure to the latecomers.”

It’s weird.

Obviously no simulation is going on.

But in Xu System’s ears, there was a vague hint of this: displeasure, great displeasure, particular displeasure.

The Ultimate Invincible Super Spiral Ascending Displeasure!
