Civilization Guardian Front

"A pot of black tea, and, I have something to talk to you about."

After finishing ordering, Liu went back to the kitchen, and quickly returned to the table with a pot of freshly brewed black tea.

"You feel much better today, Andromeda, what's wrong?"

"Hmm..." Picking up the cup that the elf poured tea into and put on the table, the blue-haired woman took a sip before replying:

"Recently, our Lord God reached a settlement with a certain dangerous person, and the pressure on my shoulders has also been relieved. At least I don't have to worry about being assassinated because I know too much all day long. I finally slept well for a few days."

Knowing that this kind of thing happened to his friend, the elf tightened his grip on the tray.

"Assassination? Who is that person?"

Lyu couldn't help asking.

Faced with this question, Yasifei raised her brows, and her eyes paused for a while on Lyu's serious face.

She looked away and sighed softly.

"I think it's better if you don't know..."

"why..."

"The matter has been resolved. According to the original words of our Lord God, he and the other party are now close friends who can talk about everything."

"Cheap friendship."

Lyu with dead eyes commented indifferently.

To actually make friends with a villainous person who was planning to kill his family members not long ago, that god is still as outrageous as before...

"No matter how they became friends, I can breathe a sigh of relief if they don't become enemies with that person..." Saying that, Asfi put down the teacup gracefully.

She picked up the bag at her feet and handed it to Lyu.

"I came here today to return 'this' to its original owner. "

The elf looked into the bag.

A neatly folded set of clothes came into view.

"!"

Lyu's pupils shrank slightly.

That was the battle uniform seven years ago that urban craftsmen devoted all their efforts to making for her who was about to fight against the dark faction.

However, on the day she was swallowed by the fire of hatred and turned into an unscrupulous vengeful ghost, she replaced the battle robe that once bathed in the shining starlight with her, and replaced it with a costume and cloak to conceal her identity.

It's not just that the armor is too easy to recognize.

It is more because she is unwilling to tarnish this witness to protect justice with her companions.

Chapter 720? Justice is circulating

late at night...

"The shop is about to close, go home and sleep!"

"Oh~~? Let's stay a little longer!"

"Yeah yeah! "

"It's rare to drink so happily today!"

"Stop talking nonsense, if you don't want to be thrown out by me, get out! Live well and come back to spend tomorrow!"

""babble! ""

Seeing the proprietress Miya raise her arm thicker than an adult man's thigh and start doing warm-up moves, the blushing adventurers couldn't muster up the courage to continue bargaining. The companions who save personnel hastened to leave.

This scene of clearing the scene is already the daily scenery of Feng Rao's Mistress Tavern.

If the group of unrestrained guys are allowed to continue to drink, not only will the clerks who have worked all day not be able to rest, but the strength of the alcohol may be carried overnight, affecting the personal state of the adventurer the next day.

Mia doesn't want the loyal customers in the store to lose the battle they should have won inexplicably, and die uselessly in the maze.

In less than 5 minutes, the tavern, which was full of seats, was empty...

Looking at the messy place, the two cat-men clerks found a chair nearby and sat down as if they had exhausted their strength.

"I'm so tired, I wish I could be as leisurely as I am during the day, meow..."

"My shoulders start to feel sore when I think about the cleaning work that Meow will have to do next, Meow~"

Knowing that the two of them were about to be thrown into the kitchen by the proprietress to wash dishes, Lyu turned a blind eye to his colleague's slack and carefully cleaned up the cups and plates on the table in front of him.

boom!boom!

Meow! ! !

Unsurprisingly, cat people's screams came soon after.

"Wow...Miss Anya and Miss Chloe were..."

The fox girl who witnessed how Miya lectured the clerk covered her mouth with her hands, and her delicate pretty face turned pale for a moment.

"Don't be afraid~ Mother Miya knows how to control strength..." Lu Nova, who appeared beside Chun Ji, patted the fox girl on the shoulder.

"If you are the one who is punished, the punishment will definitely be lighter. At most, you will lose a few seconds of memory, and you will never be accidentally beaten into a meat paste."

"Ugh..."

After listening to her colleague's ingenious words of comfort, Chun Ji's face became even paler, with tears welling up in the corners of her eyes.

"Hee hee~"

While wiping the tabletop with a rag, Xier looked at the swaying Fox Man, who seemed to be about to faint at any moment, and couldn't help laughing.

The sound of laughing and fighting lingered in my ears.

It's just like the scenes that happened in the Garden of Stars day after day in the past...

Alyse always took the lead in playing tricks, and the other members followed suit, while Lady Astria watched from the side with a gentle smile on her face.

It's just that before, I was the one being teased.

Besides, Seele is not a goddess either.

Even though there are so many differences between the two situations, and he knows in his heart that everything has changed long ago, the nostalgic scenery still gradually overlaps with the vision in front of Lyu's eyes.

Why do I frequently recall the past recently, and even involuntarily confuse the past with the reality?

Don't want to be confused anymore?

Is it disgusting with stagnant self?

Or, is there any other reason...

After finishing cleaning and taking a shower to wash away some fatigue, Lyu quietly returned to the room.

Small sofa, wardrobe, single bed and bedside table, the decoration is simple but has a reassuring atmosphere.

Press the switch of the magic stone lamp base, and the soft yellow light immediately lights up the environment surrounded by night.

A metallic luster reflected in the corner of the eye.

Turning around, Lyu looked at the simple tote bag placed on the bed, leaning against the pillow quietly, with complex and struggling expressions in her eyes at the same time.

She didn't understand why she decided to accept it.

When I realized it, I reached out and took it.

"It should be, before leaving this city, Master Astoria handed it to Hermes-sama..."

"The situation is different from five years ago, and I take it for granted that the property should be returned to its original owner."

Andromeda's words at that time were still in my ears.

Even looking at the ugly appearance of the last remaining members of the family who chose to degenerate for revenge, Goddess Astria always believed...

Believe that one day you will get out of the confusion.

Is I really qualified to wear it if I am still living in a daze and fail to understand the essence of justice?

(Master Astoria...)

The elf girl called out the name of the goddess from the bottom of her heart.

The vision became blurred for an instant, and the hot crystal flashed across the cheeks.

Unable to hold back the torrent of emotion accumulated in her chest all day, Lyu dropped her knees to the ground, knelt by the bed and wept.

"Lyu..."

A gentle call filled with worry came to my ears.

Lyu raised her face and looked towards the door of the room.

Eyes dimmed by tears seemed to see the dignified figure in a long white dress and smooth peach-colored long hair draped behind her.

Accompanied by the faint to almost imperceptible divine power, the goddess walked slowly.

"Master Astoria..."

"Sorry, Lyu..."

The opponent quickened his pace and stepped forward, hugging the elf who was supporting the ground with his hands and trying to get up.

"I'm not her."

The mirage-like phantom dissipated into light and dust.

It was only then that Lyu realized that the one hugging her at this moment was the gray-haired girl who had saved her in the cold night rain.

"Xie'er... you, didn't you go back?"

"I accidentally forgot my wallet in the store." The girl said playfully and stuck out her tongue.

For this very standard Seele's answer, Lyu couldn't find any flaws at all.

Realizing that her face was covered with tears, she wiped them with her hands in a panic.

"I'm sorry to let you see the embarrassing side again..."

Before Lyu finished speaking, the other party shook his head.

"Lyu is always blaming herself..." Xi'er stared at Liu's sky-blue eyes, with a touch of emotion in her tone:

"Even if it's not my fault, I still have to blame myself. Even though I hope from the bottom of my heart that I can move forward, but I'm bound by guilt, and I can't take a step forward."

"I deserve it..."

"Look, I'm blaming myself again."

Choked by Xier's words, Lyu fell silent for a moment.

half an hour...

"Justice circulates."

The words that came out of the girl's mouth suddenly made her stunned for a moment.

"After a huge trauma, everyone in Olali smiled again. Not only that, but new heroes appeared to protect the Ganesha family, the Loki family, the Freya family... Astoria The family is working hard to keep the peace."

"However, since justice is already circulating, why is Lyu still unable to obtain redemption? Why does she keep living in the shadow of the past and refuses to forgive herself?"

"..."

"Lyu, you actually know the root of the problem better than anyone, don't you?"

Having said that, Seele stood up and approached the bedside table, and picked up the books on the table.

"Survivor Guilt? The Girl Who Doesn't Want to Look Up at the Starry Sky"

Turn to the introduction to the opening chapter.

There are some irregular creases on the pages.

It can be seen that it is the result of frequent flipping, soaked by tears several times and then air-dried.

On the entire page, there is only one paragraph of beautifully handwritten text:

"In the end, what firmly held her was the iron chain called the Nightmare of the Past. Even if the girl raised her head a little and looked up at the night sky, she would find that the dead who had become shining stars were all praying for her to be happy. "
