Chapter 123 Pests in the Garden
Zhe Lukui and Hui Yuanchu walked towards the glass pavilion and sat down at the table.

The servant brought snacks and poured black tea for the two guests - different from the ones in the unknown space, this time it was a real human servant, a beautiful maid lady.

After everyone took a sip of tea, the "Princess" first looked at Zorukui, but her first words caught Haiyuan off guard.

"Kui isn't wearing the earrings I gave you last time... Don't forget, wearing them all the time is part of our agreement."

Zhe Lukui responded coldly: "I'm still a student, how can I wear jewelry in school?"

"Really..." The blonde girl didn't ask or refute, she just continued to look at her with a smile.

Zhe Lukui didn't answer, but just lowered her head and took a sip of tea, avoiding the princess's gaze.

But in the end, she took out a cross-shaped delicate silver earring from her pocket and put it on her earlobe.

Next, even if Zhelukui just lowered her head to drink water, the earrings began to sway and sparkle.

The "Princess" didn't say anything else, she just held her chin and tilted her head to look at Orukui with a gentle expression, but she couldn't tell whether she was admiring the sparkling earrings she gave her or Orokui's every move.

In this orange atmosphere, although Hui Yuan was also attracted by the earring, he just drank tea silently aside, as if he was not there on the table.

He felt impatient but unable to turn away from Orokui.

...Does one thing bring down another thing?He lowered his head and sipped the tea carefully, feeling a little gloating in his heart.

Of course, in order to prevent Zhelukui from turning her back and venting her anger on him later, Haiyuan still tried his best to reduce his presence to prevent Zhelukui from noticing his emotions.

Zhe Lukui put down the teacup and said expressionlessly: "I'm not here to have afternoon tea and chat. Let's talk about business."

"I brought the executor." She raised her chin towards Hui Yuanchu, "So now tell us more details about that matter. Then, I can tell you on the spot whether I accept it or not."

"Okay." The princess responded softly. At this time, she moved her eyes away from Zhe Lukui, looked at Hui Yuanchu for the first time, and nodded to him: "We meet again - can I also call you Xiao Hui? ?

Zhe Lukui looked dissatisfied and sneered slightly, but said nothing.

Hui Yuanchu said without hesitation: "Please call me by my full name."

"No, at least please let me call you that - Lord Grey."

Hui Yuanchu held it back and was a little annoyed.

...Isn't this another way to call him Xiao Hui?

But when he noticed that Orokui seemed to be just as upset as he was, and that the princess was secretly glancing at Oroku with a smile, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have become a tool.

"My pleasure! Your Highness!" He reluctantly gritted his teeth and counterattacked.

"Hahaha... Okay. Mr. Huiyuan." The princess finally covered her mouth and laughed happily, and then said, "I told you last time, call me Mana."

Hui Yuanchu didn't want to dwell on such trivial matters anymore, and said straight to the point: "I heard that this matter is related to Saya."

"Princess" Mana calmed down: "That's right."

However, she did not directly talk about the incident. Instead, she first glanced at Haiyuan twice and then moved to another topic: "I know that Mr. Haiyuan misunderstood me. You always thought that the memory that Saya lacked was related to me. Related, right?"

"Isn't it?"

"No."

"Of course the prisoner will not admit what he did."

"So, what does it look like from Mr. Haihara's perspective?"

Hui Yuan thought for a moment.

He had already thought deeply about this matter.

Yukinoshita Saya said that she lost the memory of the "princess".

And Saya's "Hako Garden" also confirms this.What Hakoba shows is her own experience, but she skips a very important period of time - that is, from Setsuko being killed by Katsumi to Katsumi being killed by Saya, what happened between these two important nodes things.

During this period, there must be some unexpected element involved.Otherwise, it is unlikely that Saya would suddenly break out of her childhood brainwashing state and kill Katsumi.

This unexpected factor also caused her amnesia.

Hui Yuan initially felt that this unexpected factor must be the princess.

Briefly summing up his thoughts, Haiyuanchu said: "You approached Saya, controlled her, rejected her, and encouraged her to kill her own father."

Myrna laughed.She didn't rush to argue, but took a sip of tea first.

Then she spoke slowly: "But, I met Saya after she killed her father, right?"

——Unexpected information, Hui Yuanchu opened his eyes in surprise for a moment.

Mana narrated like telling a story: "Accurately speaking, it should be at the moment when Sha Ye killed her father that I first met Sha Ye.

"Because that night, I was just 'watching' Tokyo out of boredom. I didn't expect anything in particular to happen, I just watched it as if I were taking a break...

"But I didn't expect that I actually saw an extremely beautiful spiritual vision blooming. It was like a burst of fireworks suddenly appeared in the darkness.

"...At this time, I moved my eyes over and saw Saya, and saw the scene where she killed Yukinoshita Katsumi.

"Then my interest was aroused and I took her under my protection and started investigating her past."

The princess was very calm, but Hui Yuanchu couldn't believe what she said.So for the first time, he looked at Orukui for confirmation.

Zhe Lukui only said three words: "It's true."

……so?In that case, the timing is completely wrong.Hui Yuan initially frowned.

What if the princess intervened not before the incident, but after it.So that "unexpected factor" really wasn't her? "What about memory?" He raised his head again and stared at the princess and asked, "Why doesn't Saya remember you? Isn't this what you did?"

"No. She doesn't remember me just because her personality was on the verge of collapse during that period."

Hui Yuanchu unexpectedly repeated those two words: "Collapse..."

"To put it simply -" Mana nodded slowly: "That child, when he killed his father, he also really killed himself."

"why?"

"I guess because the kid essentially doesn't want to hurt anyone. Isn't she always like that?"

Mana quickly changed the subject and continued: "So, I kindly acted as her 'master' for a while.

“It’s a familiar anchor for her and it’s good for her stability.

“During the period when her personality was stabilized, her thinking was confused and her memory could not last long.

“And by the time she was almost fully recovered, I had already sent her away.

“…So, she doesn’t remember me.

"But, I really didn't delete her memory."

Hui Yuanchu no longer cared whether the princess was lying or not.From the passage just now, he felt that he had vaguely found a key thread.

He focused most of his attention on searching for clues along that feeling, while the rest maintained the conversation with Mana: "You didn't delete Saya's memory - but you must have read it, right?"

"Yeah, that's right." The blonde girl did not deny it.

"So, what the hell happened, who did she meet, did you see that?"

"There is no memory." Mana shook her head: "Because she has killed herself, there is almost nothing left. Especially the memory of that moment, which is probably the first part to be killed."

She sighed: "...I only touched the fragments of the remaining emotions."

"mood?"

"In her heart..." Mana changed her posture, her voice was low and tactful, as if she was confiding, but also as if she was recalling from afar: "...pure sadness is like a distant sea, fear and numbness are like continuous mountains.

"Besides the two that occupy the entire world, the impulse of hatred is the huge vine that looms between the mountains and the sea...

"But in the end, there was a layer of fire that covered all the emotions - and that was 'relief.'"

All of a sudden, all kinds of thoughts in Hui Yuanchu's mind were turbulent and chaotic, like hundreds of waves crashing into each other, breaking, and merging again.

Sadness comes from Saya's own kind nature; fear and numbness are the shadows that have always been cast on her since she became sensible; therefore, these two occupy most of Saya's mind.The death of Setsuko planted the seeds of hatred and impulse. Although it was a pervasive vine, it was suppressed by the mountains below...

That's why Yukinoshita Saya at that time watched Setsuko's body being dumped and lying quietly rotting in the sea of ​​trees, but she didn't dare to say a word.

...But why is there 'relief'?
Where does this "relief" that suddenly burns everything come from?

——Can it only come from the outside world?Hui Yuanchu suddenly woke up.

Hui Yuan was a little excited at first, but then he immediately remembered what Mana had said just now. What was left was only feelings, but no specific memories.He still couldn't figure out who and what implanted the "relief" in Saya's heart.

Mana seemed to see his disappointment, but she smiled again: "...Don't worry."

"Although there is indeed no memory of the moment I killed my father, I found a very profound trace in the remaining remains."

"... Just like cutting off the head with a knife can kill a person, but it can't kill the burn marks on the person's arm. So I have reason to believe that Saya herself also attaches great importance to this memory."

"That's a voice, something a person said to Saya."

With that said, the blond girl raised her hand and poked it in the air.

A rotating blue cyclone immediately appeared in the mid-air.

From inside, a voice began to come out.

It was the voice of a strange girl, with a surprised tone: "Ah, in your heart..."

After a pause, her voice became trembling, and seemed to be full of pity and sadness: "It's so pitiful..."

After a moment of silence, her voice became weird: "I'm here to help Nigegneo..."

The second half of the words suddenly turned into some kind of vague and chaotic murmur, and then stopped abruptly.

The princess flipped her wrist and put the blue cyclone back into her palm, then looked at Hui Yuanchu: "What did you see?"

The princess asked a strange question when she asked what she saw even though it was a voice.

But Hui Yuanchu took a deep breath, collected his mind that was shocked by this short voice, and replied: "...it's spiritual vision."

This sound has power.

When the sound just played, he "saw" the spiritual vision leaked from the sound.

It was the shape of some broken chain, hesitating in the blue cyclone, drifting in the wind.

The conclusion seems obvious - although I don't know what this person did, it seems that something changed in Yukinoshita Saya just after hearing these words.

Then she killed her own father.

Mana nodded slowly, and then said: "Okay, then this is my commission."

"——Holy Knot Women's College is my garden." She looked at the two of them and said, "But now, there is an ascendant hidden in it... I want you to find her."
