I was raised in the simulator, and I’m really not a bad woman in Ark!

But I found it hard to say those words to Ekaros in front of me...

After all, Laurentina understood that she was just someone who had been taken care of by Ekaros for a period of time, and she was not really someone close to Ekaros.

Perhaps Ikaros's gentleness allowed her to gamble that she was important in her heart.

But Laurentina didn't dare to take the risk. Gentle people are good, but excessive gentleness makes it difficult to distinguish the distance between people.

Laurentina likes Ikaros very much, so she doesn't want Ikaros to be too tired.

But Ekalos has already made his attitude clear at this moment, so what basis does Laurentina have to blame Ekalos?

Besides, wasn't she one of the sources of Ikaros's 'fatigue'?

……

Therefore, after thinking a lot, Laurentina could only let out a sigh of bitterness and gave up her original idea. "Is that so...Okay then."

She didn't want Ikaros to hate her, no matter what the reason.

Laurentina's good family education and mature personality limited her at this moment, and the overly sensitive and complicated emotions and thoughts of an adolescent girl also made her miss the opportunity that could have been in her hands.

She could have used this opportunity to truly enter Ikaros' heart.

But Laurentina eventually missed this opportunity, just like Gloria once did.

After all, they thought too much about Ikaros and worried too much, but they never thought about the kindness they showed to others.

The tenderness that Ikaros showed towards them was special from beginning to end.

Chapter 88: Quack! It’s the lonely old fish!!! (tears)

[After reuniting with you and spending a day with you, Laurentina left. ]

[You feel it's a pity, after all, you hope she can stay a few more days to accompany you. ]

[But unfortunately, Laurentina doesn't want to cause you trouble, nor does she want you, who is weak and sick, to worry about her more. ]

[Even though you tried to keep her many times, Laurentina still chose to leave. ]

[For the girl, this is another way for her to protect and help you, and it is also the only way she can think of to help you at the moment. ]

[Such thoughts and actions may seem very childish to adults, but they are the only thing a little girl can think of and do for her beloved sister.]

[In the days that follow, Laurentina will still visit you and Skadi occasionally.]

[But Laurentina's visits to you have become less frequent and less frequent. Basically, she only comes back once every few months. When she comes, she just visits you in a hurry, leaves you a gift, and then quietly talks to Skadi before leaving.]

[To be honest, there were several times when you wanted to have a good chat with Laurentina and ask her to stay for a few days.]

[But every time Laurentina chose to smile and reject your kindness, which made you gradually give up such plans over time. ]

[However, you will still prepare a clean room for Laurentina at all times, just like you did for Gloria.]

[Although compared to Goletia who ran away from home and severed ties with her family, and Skadi who lost her family and was taken in by you, Laurentina has a happy family. ]

[But after spending that time together, you still regard her as your family member and your sister. ]

[So your flower shop will always be open to Laurentina, no matter when.]

[It’s just that… flowers will wither, branches and leaves will dry up, and the room you prepared for them will also be stained by dust one day, right? ]

【……maybe. 】

[But at least before that, you will always sit in the small flower shop, quietly waiting for these girls, and always prepare hot tea, rooms, gentle smiles, and a greeting engraved on snow-white paper for them. ]

[In the next few years, you spent your life taking care of Skadi.]

[Golatia was noticed by the upper echelons of Agor because of her further studies at school, so she was transferred to a faraway place for further studies at an early stage, and naturally she never came back.]

[Except for the exchange of letters every few months, it seems that you and Gloria have parted ways.]

[But you were not angry or dissatisfied because of this. After all, when Goletia received the transfer order, she wanted to give up the opportunity to study further and go home to be with you, but in the end you persuaded her with a letter.]

[So you hope that Goletia can walk on the road of success, instead of being bound by a useless guy like you in this small world. ]

[Besides, with Skadi's company, you are not as lonely now as you were when Gloria left. ]

[So you sincerely hope that Gloria can succeed, become a talent, and achieve the kind of success that countless people can only dream of but cannot achieve.]

[It doesn't matter even if Gloria may forget you again. ]

[Whether Godetia succeeds or fails in the end, there will always be a safe haven for her in your small flower shop, and your arms will always be open to her.]

[At the same time, you also sincerely look forward to the day in the future when Gloria, dressed in high-ranking official attire, will return to your flower shop surrounded by flowers and applause. Even if she is just passing by and not coming back to see you, you still want to send her blessings and flowers at that time.]

[For you, this is the best gift that Goletia can give you. ]

[As for your suspicion of the Agor officials, although you don't trust the upper echelons in your heart, this has nothing to do with the success of Goletia, right? ]

[Your doubts are your doubts, and the truth you want to know is just what you want to know. ]

[Golatia, just follow the path she should take now to get her glorious tomorrow. ]

[As a sister and temporary guardian, your affairs should not affect her too much. ]

[Laurentina still occasionally comes to your flower shop as a guest, and occasionally wears nun uniforms to work with you when you go to the monastery as a temporary nun.]

[And maybe because you've grown up and come to your senses, Laurentina still doesn't visit you very often. ]

[But the little girl is more intimate with you and clings to you than before. ]

[I always like to gently hold your waist from behind, then put my head on your shoulder and rub your cheek, like a kitten kissing its master. ]

[At first, when Laurentina had just grown up a little, you thought it was nothing, but as the girl grew up step by step into a big sister who was almost as tall as you, you began to feel a little bit uncomfortable, and sometimes you would even blush at the sudden softness and touch, and then you would lightly tap Laurentina's forehead in annoyance.]

[But overall, you are still very happy about the change in the way Laurentina treats you. ]

【There is only one flaw in the ointment...】

[I guess Skadi will be unhappy because you have the scent of Laurentina on you. ]

【As the saying goes, fortune and misfortune go hand in hand. 】

[After Laurentina began to be willing to get close to you again, you found that Skadi seemed to be particularly jealous.]

[Or to be more precise... the killer whale girl, who has nothing left to lose, has already regarded you as her last important treasure. ]

[After all, your care for Skadi over the years can be said to be meticulous. ]

[Step by step, you walked into Skadi's fragile and young heart through the crack you opened, and gradually wiped away the scars left in Skadi's heart through daily interactions and gentle moments. Time and again, you appeared by her side when she was most sad and helpless, and silently accompanied and comforted her...]

[You can say that you accompanied Skadi out of the darkest valley of her life, and guided her towards a new light in the long night like a gentle white moonlight.]

[How could you not be the most important person in Skadi's heart? ]

[However, Skadi attaches so much importance to you, which makes you a little distressed. ]

[After all, it’s good to care about you, but Skadi’s behavior of following you around almost every corner to protect you is a bit too much for you to bear…]

[Like when you go out to buy groceries, and just when you are about to take the bag, Skadi reaches out and takes it in advance; when you are on tiptoe to clean the high cabinet in the monastery, Skadi suddenly appears out of nowhere and hugs you around the waist; when you are about to wrap flowers for a customer in the store, Skadi, who was originally taking a shower, suddenly appears from the corner and puts on her clothes to help you.]

[In short, you don’t hate Skadi for caring about you so much, it’s just that the excessive care makes you worry that Skadi is wasting too much energy on you, which makes you feel that it’s not worth it.]

[Especially during the time when Laurentina and Skadi had a secret conversation, Skadi would stare at you closely, as if she was afraid that you would fall ill accidentally, which made you feel helpless.]

【But this kind of life seems pretty good to you. 】

[Although you have been taking care of Skadi for the past few years, there has been no progress in your investigation. ]

[But every time you see Skadi's casual smile, and look at her gradually growing taller figure and fading immature appearance, the uneasiness and anxiety in your heart will be replaced by relief and emotion.]

【Perhaps it would be nice if this kind of life continued like this? 】

[Secretly feeding Haisi who was hidden in your private bathroom, feeling the closeness and calling coming from deep in his blood.

You always have such thoughts in your mind. 】

[You are already very satisfied with your current life and don’t want to ask for more. ]

[You know very well that sometimes the truth is not that important. Perhaps when nothing has been found out, giving up is a good choice.]

[After all, you are no longer alone, and you already have too many concerns...]

[But...even if you have the idea of ​​giving up, can you really continue to live a peaceful life like this? ]

【…】

【not necessarily.】

[Even though, on the surface, you and Skadi both enjoy such a peaceful and tranquil life, you also know very well that the girl named Skadi has never given up her hatred for Haisi.]

[And can you...really let go of the suspicion you have about the Agor officials? ]

[After asking myself this question, the answer seems obvious...]

[The peaceful and warm daily life cannot last forever, and Skadi will eventually take the path of revenge against Haisi.

And you will never be able to escape the destined fate. 】

[On the day Skadi came of age.]

[As the girl in military uniform reluctantly bids you farewell at the station, you are finally alone again.]

……

Chapter 89: The Growth of Hatred and the Spread of Confusion

"I was planning to go the Bai Yueguang route, but what kind of lonely old man script is this?"

After watching the simulation, Ikaros couldn't hold back his desire to complain.

Although the development in the simulator is quite reasonable.

But how many times has this happened? Three times! Three times!

That’s three times in total!

Goladia, Laurentina, Skadi...

This is really just raising one and letting go. Whose white moonlight literature is like this?

But even though he complained, Ikaros looked at the latest line of simulation narrative and realized that he had to start his simulation this time.

After all, the elements that a white moonlight should have, the premise of tragedy, and everyone's debts and regrets have already met the prerequisites.

What would happen next is that there would be no slightly distorted white moonlight painful literature.

Ikaros didn't believe it at all.

But it doesn't matter, after all, this is what Ikaros expected, isn't it?

"I will regret it for the rest of my life. I am about to start."

With a sly smile on his lips, Ikaros watched the simulated narrative unfold, whispering softly as if making a declaration.

……

[Skadi left you.]

[Although the girl has walked out of the shadow of the past with your help and found the direction for the future again. 】

[But the hatred towards Haisi is not something you can interfere with.]

[A calm and clumsy father, a gentle and kind mother, a naughty and lovely sister...]

[Skadi remembers everything about each of her blood relatives, and will never forget their miserable appearances and desperate expressions when they were killed by Hai Si.]

[So the hatred has been growing in Skadi's heart, even if you healed the scars in her heart. ]

[Especially when Skadi learned that you had a similar experience to her, the girl hated Haisi even more.]

[I even silently strengthened my determination to hunt Hai Si with your hatred in my heart.]

[You actually noticed something unusual about the girl a few months before Skadi became an adult.]

[You also realized early on that Skadi would eventually walk down this path. ]

[In fact, you have been trying to dissuade Skadi from becoming a deep-sea hunter over the past few years.]

[But after Skadi almost hysterically expressed her inner hatred, resentment, and hatred to you on the day she became an adult, you also realized that you had no choice but to support Skadi.]

[Although Skadi is reluctant to let you go, she is also worried about whether you can take care of yourself given your weak body.]
