Chapter 67 - Journey End

While sitting on the ground Aliss moves her head around as it seems that she looking for someone else here. I wanted to speak with Aliss but something had happened within me, there are notifications pop up.

-Warning!-

-System Reset-

-Reboot-

As soon I see that word, my vision began to darken, I could not hear anything nor speak like usual too. It feels like I'm going to sleep, is this what reboot does.

-Reset Complete-

-System Boot-

-Vision Restore-

The first thing when my vision was restored back. I then realized that I was in the cart, I don't know what had happened. But I see that the bronze knight and Aliss were in here as well. They seem to talk about something but I can't hear a thing.

-Sound Restore-

After that pop up came out, I was able to hear again. The bronze knight talks about me as I listen, "You still don't believe me? I'm telling you that the other person was the ring that currently in your finger."

"There's no way that this ring can talk... besides it's been five days but still I don't hear a sound coming from this ring."

-Speech Restore-

"What! Five days already..." I can't believe that I have been sleeping for five days, but what was the cause to make my system reset and reboot.

Aliss startled, "I'm hearing the same voice again!" She looks towards me and said that if I was the one who talks to her in the forest as she still doesn't believe what the bronze knight said. I replied that it was indeed me that been talking to her in that forest.

"Do you hear the ring voice?" The bronze knight asks Aliss. Aliss nod her head, she was still surprised that I can actually speak to her.

"Hey! Knight... could you explain to me what had happened..." The knight still doesn't reply to my question, I tried again but still no response. I then realized that the knight can't hear me anymore as I'm not linked with him anymore.

I start to test whether my theory was true, I began to ask whether Aliss could hear what I had said. Aliss said yes as she repeats what I had said just now, it seems that my theory was true after all. It was really obvious after all but I was just so used to talk with the knight. He was the longest one linked with me than any other person.

"Aliss? Could you ask the knight what had exactly happened when I was sleeping in the forest." She then asks the bronze knight that question and the knight's face seems happy.

"So you been sleeping all that time, surely I thought you were dead after the fight against the elder banshee. Actually..." The knight began to explain it to me. He also doesn't know what happens, when he wakes up. The knight was already outside the forest and there he saw Aliss was tending his wound.
