A Journey of Resonance That Begins with Honkai

"Woo! It's so cold!"

Touched by Tian Nuo's bandage-wrapped palm, Ushiwakamaru's first reaction was to shiver like a kitten with fried hair, and the drunkenness in his eyes disappeared, and a trace of clarity appeared.

"And what does this arm represent? What kind of ability does it have? I didn't fully understand it, and the king didn't tell me."

The palm that was in contact with the face was about to leave, but Tian Nuo shook his head, and then looked at the sober and somewhat confused Ushiwakamaru, with a smile on his face.

"However, after a little trial, this arm probably has the ability to absorb the drunkenness of a drunk person and make him sober instantly."

Tian Nuo's words and actions successfully attracted the attention of everyone at the wine table.

"Oh! Your Excellency Ushiwakamaru seems to be really sober! But can you absorb the drunkenness of a drunk..."

"Hmm! It's an amazing ability to instantly wake up Ushiwakamaru-sama who has been drinking!"

"Ah! You actually have such an ability! Doesn't that mean that Master Merlin will never get drunk in his life? Wow, no!!! Tian Nuo-chan, you are so cruel!!!"

"I didn't say I wanted to wake you up! You bastard Merlin!!"

Tian Nuo looked at Merlin who was completely drunk and started talking nonsense, and couldn't help but cursed.

And Merlin listened to Tian Nuo's words, clutching his chest to feign heartache, and showed an expression of "I used to love", which triggered Tian Nuo's more "high" emotions.

The two began to hurt each other with one word and one word. Benkei on the side was holding back a laugh while listening, while Leonidas, who was sitting at the very edge, didn't care about etiquette and laughed boldly.

The relationship between Merlin and Tiannuo can already be regarded as that of friends, after all, Merlin can always come up with an attitude or reason that Tiannuo can't refuse to pull in the relationship.

And coupled with the atmosphere on the table, Tian Nuo can also be said to be completely let go, enjoying the dinner.

However, between Merlin and Tian Nuo's mutual exposure.

Ushiwakamaru, who was awake at this moment, really stood there dumbfounded, motionless.

'Why, do you feel this way? '

In Ushiwakamaru's mind, she recalled the moment when Tiannuo's right hand touched her face, that cold and unusually familiar feeling, and her heart was full of doubts and puzzles.

'That feeling, I will not admit it!No matter how much time has passed, I will never forget the warmth after the cold. '

With his left hand slowly supporting his cheek that was touched just now, Ushiwakamaru blinked at this moment, moved his eyes carefully, and finally saw Tian Nuo's face that kept talking at this time.

'Obviously, nothing like it. '

'but……'

Inexplicably, Ushiwakamaru's lips moved, and her voice was as thin as a mosquito moan.

"Brother... my lord..."

It's a pity that no one noticed Ushiwakamaru's abnormality at this time, even Benkei who had been following her all along.

Because at this moment, the "quarrel" between Tiannuo and Merlin came to an end, and a tacit understanding flashed in their eyes.

Since words cannot resolve "controversies", practical actions are the most effective persuasion.

"Ha! I, Mr. Merlin, have never been afraid of anyone other than drinking. Which one of the Knights of the Round Table have I never drank?"

"After the bull wins, he can brag casually. I still don't believe it today!"

A trace of determination flashed in Tiannuo's eyes. He recalled what Gilgamesh said to him before, and then resolutely picked up his own cup, and filled it with the fine wine of this era.

Passing the wine glass to his mouth, Tian Nuo smelled the pungent smell of wine, no matter how uncomfortable he was now, he couldn't turn back.

"I want to drink you, Merlin."

After letting go of the last harsh words, Tian Nuo raised his head and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

"Hey, I won't give up so easily!"

Seeing Tian Nuo's gulping gesture, Merlin also picked up the wine glass and started the competition between him and Tian Nuo.

And with the actions of the two, the atmosphere in the whole room came to the top.

Leonidas on the edge smiled heartily, also picked up the glass and filled it with wine.

"Hahaha, I'm so interested, it seems like I won't be able to join in!"

"Wait, wait a minute, General Leonidas, didn't you mean tomorrow?"

"Well, didn't you say, Lord Tenno, that he has the ability to absorb other people's drunkenness, so you don't have to worry about tomorrow's schedule. Benkei, come together, this is a struggle between men!"

"Ah! Then, it's better to be obedient than to be respectful, Gollum!"

The atmosphere of the reception lasted until midnight.

In the end, the three of Merlin, Leonidas, and Benkei are unconscious.

Tiannuo is because of the existence of his right arm. Once he feels drunk, it will be absorbed by his right arm instantly and transformed into sobriety. This is also the reason why he becomes more energetic as he drinks.

Ushiwakamaru, on the other hand, didn't touch the wine glass after waking up, but sat quietly on the chair without saying a word.

In the end, with the help of Ushiwakamaru, Tenno and she carried the three drunk people back to the room one by one, and then absorbed the alcohol-induced state called drunkenness in their minds.

Except for Merlin, of course.

Chapter 48-The choice of returning to the origin

"Then, good night, Ushiwakamaru-dono."

"...Yes, Tian Nuo...Your Highness."

'His Royal Highness? Tian Nuo frowned, but turned around just because of a title and turned back again.

"Your Excellency Ushiwakamaru, Your Highness is..."

But when Tian Nuo turned around to ask questions, Ushi Wakamaru, who had accompanied him to send everyone back to the room, disappeared as soon as he turned around.

The remaining questions remained in his mouth, looking at the empty corridor in front of him, Tian Nuo stayed there for a while, then shook his head and walked into his room.

"Nice dream."

The last words were left behind, and with the sound of Tian Nuo closing the door, this bustling room finally attracted its own quietness in the second half of the night.

At this time, Ushiwakamaru was standing at the corner of the stairs and the corridor, tightly against the wall.

The bangs that exposed her forehead covered Ushiwakamaru's eyes from both sides, making her look a little mysterious at this time.

After the whole corridor was quiet for a while, Ushiwakamaru, who was leaning against the wall, slowly raised her head, and her eyes no longer had the energetic vitality of the past.

Instead, there is a kind of calm like the surface of the water...

...and weird.

……

……

Regardless of the appearance of disappearing outside the door, it was actually Ushiwakamaru who was hiding.

After more than three months, Tian Nuo returned to this room again, seeing the sheets that had been made, and the clean and tidy tables and chairs, he felt some emotional changes in his heart.

"call--"

He let out a long breath, and the mood mobilized by the wind banquet returned to peace again.

Come slowly to the bed and lie down facing the ceiling.

The softness on the pillow and the hardness from the back made Tian Nuo feel a bit of reality and a bit of nothingness.

"Just like that, three months have passed..."

Tino closed his eyes,

"It feels so fast, but it also feels so slow."

Memories of three months began to slowly flash in Tiannuo's mind one by one, from the beginning of coming to the world, to learning, growing, fighting...

From parting to meeting, and from meeting to parting...

From losing to having, and from having to losing...

Everything goes back and forth and starts again and again, just like walking in a Mobius ring that will never appear on the third side, all causes and endings have been fixed at the moment of making a choice.

The process is just futile.

But even so!

"...The goal I want to achieve will not change, nor can it be changed!"

The eyes were opened again, and at this moment, in Tian Nuo's eyes, all the lightness and youthfulness had completely shed, leaving only peace and firmness.

"Let's reorganize the information. I now have a week of leisure time, so I can't waste it."

Since coming to this world, Tian Nuo has developed a habit of introspection every night.

To use a relatively similar sentence to describe it is-"I reflect on myself three times a day".

Tiannuo will list its own deficiencies through absolutely objective memories, and make improvements after knowing them.

"As it stands now, the plan I laid out three months ago clearly failed, but it worked."

Tian Nuo shook his head, and his words sounded somewhat contradictory.

It was also in this room more than three months ago.

The plan Tian Nuo came up with at that time was to resonate with the heroic spirit, so as to make his own resonance reach 100%, and with the power of the system, he would stop the "intruder" who stayed deep in his heart—— Azdakaha, get kicked out.

Although Tian Nuo finally resonated with Ba Yuqian who followed him, it was a pity that it was not himself who resonated with Ba Yuqian, but the system consciousness in his body that had never made a sound.

"panel."

Thinking of the system consciousness that had been silent for too long, Tian Nuo frowned slightly, and then softly called out the system panel.

[System panel:]

【Name: Tino】

[Characters that resonate: Kevin Kaslana, Aziz Dakaha]

[Additional resonance character: Ba Yuqian]

[Resonance degree: Kevin -82%, Azi Dakaha-? ? ? , Ba Yuqian -75% (cannot be improved)]

When looking at the gray words "unable to improve", Tian Nuo had mixed feelings in his heart, and finally chose to suppress the unsolvable doubts deep in his heart, and continued to talk about himself.

"The plan failed. Although I don't know how long it will be before the start of the plot, it's a pity." Tian Nuo sighed, "I have no chance and time to contact another heroic spirit and resonate with him."
