Chapter 56 Yumiko's Graduation Ceremony
...Please don't say it like you're trying to catch an adulterer!
Hui Yuanchu protested silently in his heart.

But this question is really difficult to answer.The argument he had prepared to blame everything on the Crusaders was rejected by Orukui in just one sentence.

Huiyuan didn't even know the source of information for Zorokui's conclusion, so it was difficult to refute or mislead him.

...The information gap is really difficult to bridge, Hui Yuanchu sighed in his heart, and he was even more eager to have someone behind him to support him.

"Speaking of which, your sudden resurrection...is also suspicious?" Orokui continued to look at him expressionlessly, as if she wanted to separate every detail of his expression and analyze his thoughts from inside, "This is An ability you’ve never shown before, right?”

Hui Yuanchu raised his head and glanced at Zhe Lukui, but still said nothing.

He knew very well from the beginning that as long as normal post-mortem analysis was carried out, his performance and changes would not escape the word "suspicious".

But Orokui's suspicion of him could only be suspicion.Because of his power and system, both of which are unknown to anyone so far.

Zhe Lukui is now asking for a statement here, which shows that she does not have any actual evidence.As long as Hui Yuanchu doesn't want to admit it, he can continue to pretend to be stupid.

At this time, Hui Yuanchu was seriously thinking about another thing.

Because as he just thought, if he wants to gain Oruru Aoi's support, then confessing here is the best opportunity...

But he didn't expect that he would have to make a decision so soon.

Just when Hui Yuan was struggling, the system text suddenly refreshed in his field of vision.

It's very short, just one line.

[Main mission: Gain the trust of Oro Aoi. 】

Because of the sudden impact, Hui Yuan couldn't keep his expression and instantly opened his mouth.

Not because of the sudden appearance of the main quest, but because of the content of the quest.

...What's going on?

Why is the main quest... Oroku Aoi? ? ?
Behind the mission font, the girl opposite naturally noticed his abnormality at this moment, frowning, and observing him carefully and carefully.

Huiyuan first calmed down and looked at Zhe Lukui. Among the many chaotic thoughts, one in particular stood out:
——Are you considered the designated heroine?

He took several deep breaths and made his final decision.

"...Watch it." He whispered to Oroku Aoi, then he raised his palms in vain, and revealed Yumiko Tamaki's True Spirit Flower in his palms, displaying it in Oroku's sight for a few seconds. bell.

Then he grasped it with both hands and took the Flower of True Spirit into his body again.

Zhe Lukui's expression changed instantly.

But soon, her expression returned to normal, as if she hadn't seen anything.

"This matter is very important." Hui Yuanchu said half-truthfully, "So... I just think it's not suitable to talk about it in public. But I didn't want to hide it from you."

"That's right." Zhe Lukui nodded in approval.

Hui Yuanchu asked again: "So, can I ask a few other questions?"

Zhe Lukui seemed to be in a good mood, and said very magnanimously, "Ask."

"The warrior commander is not dead, is he?"

"He died, but he will be resurrected. So next time we will meet this pervert on the battlefield."

"Where is Tamaki? What will you do with her?"

"She can't go back to society. No one can take the risk of turning into an evil spirit. But she won't be locked up or experimented on. I will take her into a special small town. There, apart from having secrets Surveillance, unable to leave, she will live the same life as normal, and can even continue to go to school... Are you satisfied with this arrangement?"

Hui Yuanchu nodded slowly.

After a pause, he added: "In addition, I accept your invitation."

Zhe Lukui seemed to have expected it, and just hummed.

Hui Yuanchu continued to test: "It's just that I'm still not sure...am I working for you or the organization behind you?"

"——'Trend Group'. Remember this name from now on." Zhe Lukui first mentioned the name of the organization.

Then she looked at Hui Yuanchu strangely: "...mine or the organization's, what's the difference between the two?"

“The founders of this organization are my genetic ancestors.”

"It's now run by my biological father."

"In the future, I will inherit it."

"It's mine...it's mine."

"...You don't have to worry about this." She smiled and said in a gentle tone like coaxing a child, "Xiao Hui, just listen to me."

Hui Yuan opened his mouth at first, but finally closed it. ... Even this organization belongs to your family, it is passed down from ancestors!
After saying so much, Orokui looked a little tired. She was still a wounded person after all.

"Then, I'll be looking for you later." She drove her electric wheelchair and prepared to leave.

But before leaving, she stopped again and said as if she suddenly remembered: "Ah - by the way, Tamaki Yumiko will be transported away soon. Do you want to see her one last time? Next time we meet, it will be I don’t know when it was.”

"It's gone. It can't be said anyway -" Hui Yuanchu said halfway before he suddenly realized, "Wait a minute, is Yu Zhi awake already?"

Orukui hummed.

"...So if I hadn't told you the truth about Zhenling, or hadn't agreed to your invitation, you wouldn't have let me see her, right?" And for a moment, Hui Yuanchu thought of a more serious problem: Maybe in Oriroku Aoi has already asked Tamaki Yumiko about everything that happened in the ruling domain...?Maybe she even has some means to know things that Tamaki Yumiko herself doesn't remember?

"If that's the case, you won't be able to leave here alive anyway, so don't worry about such a trivial matter." Oroku Aoi showed a hidden smile, "But now, I like people who are honest and loyal to me. Small gray."

"..."

Orokui left humming an unknown tune.

Soon, Tamaki Yumiko was sent over.

She seemed unharmed, walked over on her own legs, and sat next to Hui Yuanchu.

After a brief silence, Tamaki Yumiko spoke first: "I seemed to have had a dream. In the dream..."

Tamaki Yumiko tilted her head and thought for a while, and finally gave up with a smile: "Anyway, in the dream, Haibara-kun saved me from a lot of monsters and monsters."

"Oh yes, I also asked Haibara-kun a very shy question."

"what is the problem?"

Yumiko Tamaki looked directly at him and said, "Haihara-kun, do you like me?"

Hui Yuanchu replied without hesitation: "No."

Tamaki Yumiko continued to ask: "Do you hate it?"

"Not at all."

"I knew it." Tamaki Yumiko laughed, "Haihara-kun in the dream also answered like this, every word is correct."

But she shook her head again and complained softly: "But, I am a little unwilling."

Hui Yuanchu wisely chose to keep silent.

Tamaki Yumiko sighed and stood up: "Then, it's time for me to go."

"Goodbye."

Tamaki suddenly came over like lightning and kissed Haibara's cheek gently.

She blushed a little and said loudly: "If you say what you say, Lord Huiyuan will take action! I will work hard! Wait for me...wait for me to come back, for sure!"

Hui Yuanchu smiled and waved goodbye to her.

Although I don't know when Tamaki Yumiko will come back... But Hui Yuanchu is very optimistic, and she must have found someone else who cares about her when the time comes.

There is so much beauty in this world.

——Endless Tower Chapter, End——

　The prototype of the Tower of Babel and various details in this chapter come from the short story "Tower of Babel" by Ted Chiang, an American science fiction fraud.

　　Whether it is the "repeating cycle" in time or space, it has actually become an old joke in various literary or film and television game works.Therefore, the simple plot of "going to heaven but returning to the earth" is not new. Many readers may have guessed the ending just after reading the beginning.

　　But even if I know the ending, "Tower of Babel" still attracts me to continue watching.

　　Because its real power lies in its "expression".

　　Expression comes in two forms: the writing that describes existence, and the imagination that creates existence itself.

　　The tower built by Ted Chiang's imagination is almost a brand new ecosystem, with its own fresh, interesting and logically consistent world view.

　　So for me, the focus of "Babylon She" is not the suspense of the plot, but the experience of climbing the tower itself.It’s like a… sci-fi road story?

　　It does prove one thing: most of the time, old jokes are not a problem.As long as there is enough expressiveness, old memes can be interesting enough.

　　If you are interested, you can look for a collection of short stories by Ted Chiang: for example, the one I have is "The Story of Your Life" by Yilin Publishing House.In addition to the Tower of Babel, the other stories are interesting enough and highly recommended.

　　Thank you for seeing this.See you in the next chapter.
