"Sorry, I'm old now and my tear ducts are more developed."

"Aunt Sumita..." Yoshino felt mixed emotions. She lowered her eyes for a while, then immediately raised her head and said, "Thank you for telling me about my mother. Thank you for remembering her. Thank you for remembering me."

"No, don't say that." Guo Sui was also a little touched. She wiped her eyes and seemed to think of something. She said, "Oh, I forgot. I have something to give to Yoshino. I'll get it right away. Please wait a moment."

After saying that, he left the reception room, leaving only the sound of footsteps.

Huo Xia said softly: "Did you remember anything?"

Yoshino lowered her head: "Sorry, I just feel a little vague."

"It's okay, you can think about it slowly."

"Ah."

At this moment, Origami looked at Tohka thoughtfully, and looked her up and down for a while, which made Tohka very uncomfortable. She snorted coldly and said unhappily: "Why are you looking at me?"

"Nothing." Origami quickly explained: "I was just thinking about what Tohka was like when she was a human."

Tohka tilted her head: "Human, are you saying I am also a human?"

Origami hesitated and said, "That should be the case. After all, elves are all made from spirit crystals, so they should have been humans before. It's just that when they enter the neighboring world, they will forget their memories of being human."

Erya added at the right time: "As for me, when I first appeared in the real world, I used the [Angel] to directly query my human past, and then I recovered all my memories. Since then, I have stayed in the real world."

At this point, she looked at Shion again and said with a smile, "If Shion really can't remember, I can help you look it up."

Shiono seemed a little moved, but still shook her head and refused: "Thank you for your kindness, Sister Niya, but I think I should remember it myself..."

"What a sensible child." Erya laughed.

Tohka asked in confusion: "So, I was once a human, right?"

After the words fell, Huo Xia raised his eyes, nodded first, and then shook his head, "I'm not sure either. Other elves can more or less find some clues, but you can't find any clues at all."

"Hum~"

Erya stepped forward, patting her chest, "This is when the omnipotent and omniscient Erya teacher is needed. I will help you check it out. I will definitely be able to find out your past as a human!"

Tohka asked, "Really?"

"of course it's true!"

"But..." Tohka tilted her head, looking innocent, "Niya doesn't look very reliable."

"What!" Erya was immediately furious and said unconvincedly: "Just wait, I will definitely find out about your past!"

Huoxia and Origami looked at each other and said nothing.

I can only wish Erya success in his investigation.

As I was thinking this, footsteps were heard.

Guosui held a large box in one hand and slowly walked towards Yoshino.

"I have always thought that if you come back one day, I will definitely return this thing to you, so I have been keeping it... Finally, it can be returned to its original owner."

The box was opened and everyone couldn't help but look over.

Inside the box was a rabbit puppet that looked exactly like Yoshina's.

Seeing this puppet, Shion was in a trance, and blurted out: "Shion... Second."

Yoshino’s eyes widened, confusion and uneasiness reflected in her pupils, just like the night sky before a storm.

Consciousness is like a swirling storm, constantly racing and churning in the mind.

Memories began to slowly emerge from the depths of her soul like water caught in a whirlpool.

No longer scattered fragments, but a clear torrent of vivid colors and details, spreading out in the mind.

All the information that I had heard and witnessed before now began to take shape, forming vivid pictures.

Shion felt a splitting headache, as if an invisible hammer was constantly hitting her head.

The pain spread throughout her body like an electric current, making her feel numb and her body began to tremble.

It was in this intense pain that her memory began to recover.

"I have never told you that mom is actually a descendant of a ninja."

"Is that right?"

"Ah! Don't you believe it? Let me show you! Hey! Ninja technique? Clone Technique!"

[Hi, Yoshino, I'm your new mother! ]

"Oh, I'm getting carried away. I'm the real mother."

【What are you talking about? You don't have rabbit ears. 】

"What are you talking about? It's really annoying that you disrespect primates like this."

"This is a puppet. I made it in my free time. It's pretty delicate, right? Let's call it Yoshina."

"It's okay. Next time I'll make you a stuffed doll as my clone."

Memories gradually emerged, and Shion remembered that the puppet Shionai was a gift from her mother. It was her mother's clone, and she said at the time that she also wanted to make a puppet for her mother.

because……

"I can be with my mother's clone, but my mother is alone. Isn't that pitiful?"

He murmured the words he had said in the past.

Shion couldn't help sobbing and slowly squatted down, tears dropping onto the ground.

She remembered it all.

Yoshino's hands trembled slightly, and she slowly turned to the rabbit puppet on her left hand.

That is the mother's doppelganger, the only bond.

Tears flowed down Shion's cheeks, and she whispered her inner guilt: "I'm sorry... I actually forgot for so long... Shion, you've always been by my side, mom."

Shiona shook her head slightly, and he stroked Shion's head tenderly, whispering comforting words as if Nagisa was beside her.

"No, it's okay, Yoshino, as long as you are happy and live a happy life."

That voice.

That touch.

Just like the real Nagisa.

It was as if her soul really resided in this puppet, always accompanying Yoshino.

At this moment, Yoshino finally realized that she was not alone.

In a corner of this world, mother's love is like warm sunshine, always shining on me.

She hugged the rabbit puppet tightly and burst into tears.

It turns out that mother’s love is always there, and it turns out that I am never alone.

Seeing this scene, everyone's eyes were somewhat complicated.

Erya muttered, "Is that so? Sisi's mother's soul resides in Shionai, and has been protecting Sisi..."

Guo Sui's pupils suddenly dilated, he didn't quite believe it at first, then his eyes gradually became gentle.

She had many speculations and many explanations.

but.

Everyone, everyone would rather believe this statement.

Shion reached out her hand, took out the puppet from the box, and put it on her right hand.

Twenty years ago, her mother gave Shionai to Shion, saying that Shionai was her mother's clone who would always be by her side. Shion also made a similar rabbit hand puppet and wanted to give it to her mother.

This is Yoshino's clone, and will stay with her mother.

Shionai II fell into his hands, and the next moment, he seemed to come alive.

Shion moved the fingers of her right hand, and while operating the Second, she spoke: "Long time no see, Shion, I've always wanted to see you."

So, "Yoshina" responded: "Yeah, me too."

"Yoshina" hugs "Nisei" tightly.

It was as if he was replacing the mother and daughter Bing Yachuan who would never be able to embrace each other again.

……

Everyone walked out of the hospital and headed towards the station.

Along the way, Yoshino was very happy, but Tohka seemed to be thinking about something. She looked at Nia and asked, "You, Nia, right? Have you found out about my past?"

Niya's forehead was covered with sweat, and he laughed: "Well, Tohka seems to be, as if, probably, possibly, maybe, maybe..."

As if she couldn't find the right words, she hung her head and raised her hands in surrender.

"Well, I'll be honest. After investigation, Tohka seems to be a pure spirit, formed by pure spiritual power through spirit crystallization."

Tohka was stunned for a moment, then asked, "That is to say, I don't have a human past, I don't have a mother, I don't have a family, I don't have relatives, and I don't have any connection with this world..."

"It's the world that doesn't like me, right?"

The tone gradually became lower.

Niya said hurriedly: "No, it's not true. I really like Tohka. Such an innocent girl is a rare character. How can I not like her!"

Origami also said: "Even if we didn't have any contact before, it's okay to establish contact now, right?"

"Very handsome and reliable." Yoshino also raised her head and said seriously: "Tohka, who cares about Yoshino and comes here with me to look for memories, is very handsome and reliable."

"But..." Tohka's eyes turned sad, "I don't belong to this world. Maybe the neighboring world where only the sleeping world is is where I should be."

Origami, Niya, and Shiono all looked concerned when they heard this, and wanted to go up and give some advice.

Huo Xia said in a deep voice: "That's fine."

As the words fell, the four women present couldn't help but look over.

Huo Xia continued, "If you don't like the real world and prefer the neighboring world, you can stay in the neighboring world. I will ask Sawa and Mio to re-establish the rules of the neighboring world and make it as lively as the real world."

“There will be streets, too.”

“There will be cities.”

"There will be a castle."

"There will be an ocean."

“It’ll be all the kinds of scenery you’ve seen here.”

Huo Xia raised his hand, as if showing the scenery of this world.

"But no matter how beautiful that world is, it's a little lonely with only you."

"But, if, I mean if." Huoxia raised her eyelids and looked directly into Shixiang's beautiful crystal eyes, "If you are tired of being alone, you can also stay in this world."

Tohka's lips trembled slightly: "But this world doesn't like me."

Huo Xia said, "But I like you."

After hearing these words, Tohka's heart was shaken as never before. She felt a tightness in her chest and had no idea what to do.

"Yes, I like Tohka-kun too, please stay~" Niya said with a smile.

Origami blushed slightly and said shyly, "I like Tohka, too."

"I like Tohka, too." Yoshino followed.

Shionai also said: "That's right, that's right, everyone likes Tohka, Tohka is a good kid who is loved by everyone just like Shionai~"

Hearing everyone say this, Tohka blushed and shouted, "I know, I'll stay!"

Huo Xia smiled slightly and said to Yoshino and Tohka seriously: "I will take you away from battles and harm and enjoy the warm sunshine of this world. Even if the whole world denies the existence of your elves, I will still recognize you!"
