Chapter 87 – Reunion with the Witch

“Perhaps, as the Earth’s fused boundary ruins become more numerous, I can see Mo Li and Krysia once more.”

The Xu system slowly got up.

Empty room, the only sunlight in the unrestrained pouring, fell on the Xu Department of open and close eyelids, slightly lined with the past deep and scattered hair.

Turn your head slightly.

Looking out the window at the rustling clumps of leaves.

The reality of the time change was reflected in the eyes of the Xu system.

Get the Good Life Simulator and open the first simulation when the point in time was a hot summer day.

After opening the second simulation, summer is winding down.

And now, once again, more than a month has passed, and the once sweltering summer has been blown away by a cool breeze, leaving behind an autumn that represents a crippling fade.

“Time, it’s marvelous.”

“Growth-inducing and stagnant.”

Outside the window, there were flower petals floating down with the wind, and as Xu System gazed at such a scene, he suddenly laughed out softly.

When it comes to cold fall days, in addition to loneliness and isolation, they also conjure up images of stomach-warming food, and the Xu family is preparing to shabu-shabu some beef and lamb for dinner today.

He stepped out of the bedroom.

Through the courtyard planted with dragon’s blood grass.

Push the door open and leave.

On the street, there are flaming red maple leaves dancing on both sides, the fallen leaves are scattered and spread on the ground, and many ordinary pedestrians can be seen exchanging and moving forward.

There are couples snuggling and laughing and showing off their sweetness.

There was a family of three holding hands with each other in a cozy atmosphere.

There are friends chasing each other around and having fun.

The sound of people coming to the house on their own adds color to the lonely, silent autumn day and makes the cold wind less noticeable.

Such light.

It made the Xu system recall the two tiny figures that would stand at the doorway waiting for him to return home during the cold winter months.

It’s just a shame that you don’t see it in the real world anymore.

“Might as well think about what ingredients to buy,” Xu said as he walked inside the superstore, quickly shopping for the items he needed, checking out and heading straight home.

There was nothing he wanted to play for entertainment.

No extravagant hobbies either.

To System Xu, wasting time doing those things was far better than having a good meal or continuing to cultivate in seclusion.

The former gives a good culinary experience, while the latter can truly enhance strength, which is far superior in the eyes of the Xu system.

“Ka-ching-“

“Ka-ching-“

Every rise and fall of the shoe would step on the dry fallen leaves with a crisp echo that was uniquely the fall of autumn.

The Xu system carried a shopping bag full of ingredients and moved forward slowly and unhurriedly.

But suddenly.

His steps stopped.

The stop was sudden and surprising.

After a long time, Xu Department walking on the road home, once again saw that, quietly standing in the courtyard door, good behavior waiting for their return of the indifferent figure.

“I’m back, Mentor.”

The witch’s voice remained as calm as ever.

There was no ebb and flow, no ripple, like a quiet stream flowing past your ears, taking everything away silently.

It’s hollow, but it’s good.

The return of the witch was so sudden, yet so congenial, as if it were a matter of course and no surprise at all.

So, what kind of attitude, what kind of words, should be used to welcome back the witch?

“Welcome home, Krysia.”

The Xu system revealed a gentle smile and stretched out his palms, palms facing upwards in a simple inviting gesture.

Once upon a time, he and the Witch met in the fall of the analog world.

Now he is reunited with the Witch in the fall of the real world.

Everything seems to be an echo of fate.

“Mentor ……”

The witch, who was as quiet as a mannequin, had her body trembling slightly, taking one step, two steps, and taking the initiative to walk in the direction of the Xu system.

Mixed color eyes of black, gold, and red.

Colorful and beautiful, it bursts with a rush that Xu has never seen before.

“Krysia?” , Xu system thought that the magical girl would hold the palm of his hand, but the way things were going, was far beyond his expectations.

The witch’s pace gradually quickened, walking so fast that it looked like she was running, her pounding footsteps echoing, and she eventually crashed into Xu’s arms without a word.

Heartbeats seem to mingle at this moment, and time is frozen in infinite eternity.

Krysia hugged the Xu system tightly.

Hug it hard.

“Mentor, I finally …… see you again.”

“I’ve been, always, always …… waiting for you ……”

Autumn is the season of sorrow, a heartbreaking time for remembering the past, but at this moment, partings are ushered in with a flip of the switch, and the Witch is welcomed to the reunion she’s been waiting for her whole life.

The coolness soaked through Xu System’s blouse.

Those were tears from the witch.

She embraced Xu System, embracing him extremely tightly, as if she wanted to integrate herself within Xu System’s body, never to be separated again.

Xu Department lowered his head, and he could clearly see that Krysia’s delicate face was now filled with tears, and they weren’t tears of sadness, but rather tears of a kind of joy.

Buried in his arms, he spoke of his sorrows in a different way.

“I’m sorry, Krysia, I guess I kept you waiting.”

The Xu system whispered softly in a comforting voice.

The palm of his hand reached out and gently covered the miko’s long, silver-gray hair as he had done countless times before, rubbing it to give it a sense of security.

Steep.

A rustle of applause rang out around them.

It’s getting louder and fiercer.

It was at this point that Department Xu realized that the surrounding area had already gathered a lot of watchful passersby.

They seemed to misunderstand something, and some of them burst into tears, while others applauded loudly and offered all kinds of blessings.

“This ……”

System Xu was speechless and could only quickly return to the courtyard with the demoness.

By the time she returned to the courtyard, Krysia’s mood had stabilized, and she apologized to the Xu system for causing unnecessary trouble.

“It’s okay, Krysia.”

“That doesn’t matter.”

The Xu system laughed and shook his head, his palm attached to the stream of water and wiped the tear tracks on the witch’s face clean.

Krysia didn’t move a muscle.

Quiet, well-behaved, sitting still and watching the Xu system in action.

The godless eyes could only see the face of the Xu system.

The witch herself was actually unclear as to why her body would involuntarily shed tears after meeting the Xu system, having clearly resolved not to bring trouble to the Xu system before they met.

Why, exactly, is this ……

Is it because the item is back in the owner’s hands?

Is it because the useless shadows are once again bright?

Or is it because of finding a favorite?

The witch wasn’t sure, and she didn’t feel the need to think; her time drifting alone was over, and from now on, she would only have to follow the orders of the Xu system.

“Mentor ……”

The witch suddenly spoke.

“Why, Krysia, what’s the matter?”

The Hsu Department inquired.

“Can you please, once again ……,” Kryssa turned over her palm and removed the aquamarine necklace she had been removing for years, “put the necklace on for me…”
