You and me under the world tree

"She's always been like that."

"So, although I guess you feel inferior to her passion and perfection, but it's been so long, and you won't pick this moment to burst out."

"Ah."

"Besides, your current attitude doesn't look like that kind of pure pain."

"Ah."

"How should I put it, after a night of hangover, did you understand something? Or did you wake up?"

"Ah."

"..."

Then Hodder suddenly lost his voice.

What can I say now?

He even began to doubt now whether Utgard had listened to what he said.

"So, am I right?"

"Humph."

A smile formed at the corner of his mouth.

At the same time, the giant slowly closed his eyes.

He seemed to be thinking and remembering something.

"Give me a reaction?"

"It's almost right. I did have a little trouble last night, but I've figured it out now."

This sudden candor was like an unavoidable backhand punch.

For a moment, Huode only felt his head buzzing.

That's all he said?

You are not lying to me, are you?

Hodder really wanted to ask this question, because it was completely inconsistent with Utgarde's performance.

With Utgarde's consistent performance, shouldn't he start to play tricks?

"So, is it still about Eggers?"

"correct."

"By the way, you seemed to have confessed your love to her in a daze before."

"I know."

Having said that, Utgard suddenly reached out and rubbed his head.

Then, he let out a long sigh of relief.

"Actually, I have woken up before, but I feel dazed, as if there is a voice in my ear, but the reaction is very slow."

"Ah, I'm quite familiar with this feeling. Sometimes I get up early and feel confused."

"Ah."

"But to put it bluntly, you are strong and cowardly. There are some things you didn't want to say before, but now that you're completely drunk, how do you feel?"

Regarding this question, Utgarde seems to be a little cautious.

He frowned first, as if distressed.

But soon, the awkward guy's brows relaxed again.

"To be honest, it's not really good."

He just smiled wryly.

"I feel uneasy, but she has already expressed her attitude."

"No, it's not anxiety, it's just..."

"Do you think you're not good enough for her?"

"Not at all."

No one would admit it, not even Utgarde himself.

At least he won't admit it on the surface.

"only……"

He looked towards the kitchen.

There, the giantess still seems to be busy, she looks very happy, even humming a happy tune.

And Utgard just watched her like this, as if he wanted to imprint her figure in his mind.

"It's just that I think she still likes Rocky, not me."

"..."

Hodder didn't speak, but Utgard slowly turned around.

He just looked at the human's increasingly weird expression.

"If you have anything to say, just say it."

"Then I said it."

"Ah."

"Bitch is hypocritical."

"..."

Chapter 42: The Cowardly and Lowly

Finally, Utgarde's expression changed.

He seemed to have fully realized it, and it seemed that he would not make any further disturbances to the worldly affairs.

As a result, now, he seems to have been broken by Huoder, and he is a bit stuck in Bengbu.

Several times, Utgarde wanted to open his mouth to say something, but all the words ended up being a complicated smile on his face.

"Perhaps, you are right."

In front of Hodder, he finally said such words.

"I'm just hypocritical, so there are some things I can't let go of at all."

These words should be regarded as self-deprecating, but there is a self-defeating attitude in his tone.

Even, when the tone was too strong, Huo De always felt as if he was also affected.

"Ha ha."

After starting to feel uncomfortable in his heart, the corner of Hodder's mouth twitched.

"Honestly, this isn't like you."

"Not like me?"

"Whether it's you or him, you have always been unrepentant. I have never seen you really admit your mistakes. Even if you are beaten violently or even have your head chopped off, you are still stubborn."

"Ah, that's true."

For this, Utgard seems to feel that there is no excuse.

So he admitted it very simply and neatly.

"But some things are indeed my own problems."

Then, he glanced at the location of the kitchen again.

Eggers was still there, but the sound of setting the dishes proved that her work was in the final stage.

"These have nothing to do with Agather, she is perfect, the problem is only myself."

Seeing Utgard admitting this so readily and neatly, Hodder subconsciously felt something was wrong.

It's not that he thinks that Utgarde should continue to maintain his thick-skinned characteristics, but that he behaved too simply.

Could this be the reason why he looks so enlightened now?

Thinking of this, although Huo De was puzzled, he was still quite happy in his heart.

If it was the kind of story written in a book, he would think it was an awkward and third-rate story.

Because it is a pure story that brings enjoyment and experience to the readers, Hodder will naturally have requirements on the plot level.

I don't say that there must be ups and downs or something, but it sounds a bit stupid to just wake up all of a sudden overnight.

But now, everything here is a reality for him.

Moreover, the love between Utgard and Eggers has never been a major event that can affect the world and lead the direction.

So it's not bad that it ended like that.

"So, are you planning to let go of the paranoia in your heart?"

After heaving a sigh of relief, he spoke casually.

"Then what are you waiting for, she is here now, it's time for you to move forward, even if it's only one step."

Having said that, Howard couldn't help laughing.

"Even if Eggers is enthusiastic and proactive, girls are always a little reserved. You should not make her wait so long, at least..."

Then, the sound stopped abruptly.

It's not that Hodder encountered a problem like dry mouth, it's just that he found that Utgard's mood was a bit wrong.

Because he doesn't have any emotional ups and downs.

At least in Hodder's eyes, his expression didn't change from the beginning to the end.

This is not to say that he has no expression, but that expression is completely different from what Hodder thought.

He looks more like he is in deep thought now, that kind of expression is hard to describe...

"Are you dreaming here?"

Howard couldn't help complaining.

Then, Utgarde closed his eyes.

"Maybe, maybe I'm just dreaming."

Good guy, this is simply too lazy to talk about it.

In Hodder's eyes, this kind of answer is like a loud declaration in public: I suck.

"So you're not going to have a complete showdown with her?"

"..."

Then, Utgarde simply fell silent.

He closed his eyes.

It seems that he is resting, but he is actually avoiding this extremely harsh topic.

However, he can be regarded as expressing his attitude.

"I thought you'd at least figured that out."

"..."

"So what are you struggling with? The result is right in front of you. You just need to take a step forward."

"..."

"I think you care too much about this kind of thing, and you don't need to care."

"..."
