Chapter 2061: Eternal Youth’s Goodbye



The price that Princess Mizuki paid when she made that wish was to never mature and be stuck at the mental age when she did the wish. One would think that this would have prompted the Dragon Turtle King to emerge from the hidden realm and search for Urashima Taro, but he did not. He does not know the dangers above as he would have left his realm unprotected. He is also like the Four Cardinal Divine Beasts as they cannot leave their own places.

The Dragon Turtle King tried sending some guards to fetch Urashima Taro, but the princess also wished for the safety of the boy. Every being that intends to take Urashima Taro or kill him will always fail. The Cintamani basically influenced probability to the point that anyone that harms Urashima Taro would be unlucky. This also had consequences to the princess as she felt her luck decrease.

The Dragon Turtle King could not stop the unlucky streak of his daughter and could only shield her from it. Fortunately, the people that wanted to harm Urashima Taro decreased over the years which is why the princess never became unlucky again. Still, the Dragon Turtle King can no longer attempt to drag Urashima Taro to the hidden realm and just waited for the latter to enter. What he did not know is that Urashima Taro was unable to enter the hidden realm because the key that he possessed has become attached to the boy's soul.

"Princess Mizuki, why don't we play one last time?" Urashima Taro stated as he suddenly smiled towards the princess like that of a young child.

"What do you!" King Kame Yashashi stated but Adrian stopped him from intervening.

"Really! Let us go!" Princess Mizuki stated as she grabbed Urashima Taro's hand, and they wandered around the hidden realm once again.

"Kanlaon, make sure to follow them around." Adrian commanded as Kanlaon turned smaller and followed behind the two.

"What is the meaning of this?! I thought you wanted to have the Cintamani extracted from him." King Kame Yashashi stated as he thought that Adrian suddenly stopped caring about what would happen to Urashima Taro.N/nêw n0vel chap/ers are published o/n n0v/e/(lb)i(n.)co/m

"You said that the princess is stuck with the mental age of a child, right? Urashima Taro, on the other hand, is an old man stuck in the body of a child. He just needed to respond to the princess like a child would. Do not worry and let us observe them for now." Adrian stated as he saw the look of determination from Urashima Taro.

Urashima Taro and Princess Mizuki wandered around the hidden realm like children. They had guards following them, but they did not pay them any attention. The two of them looked like children trying to have fun despite being heavily monitored. Urashima Taro did not look like he was acting but actually enjoyed the time he is spending as if he is suddenly reliving his younger years.

"I guess we did all the things we were unable to do when I came here first. We even added some more things in the bucket list. I guess you could say that I no longer have any regrets with my life." Urashima Taro stated.

"Do you really not want to stay with me?" Princess Mizuki asked.

"I would want to if only I could. We are both different but that also what makes us good friends. As a good friend, I wish for you to let me go so that I can have my peace." Urashima Taro stated as the princess suddenly started to get teary eyes.

"I still want to try new things and even go around the outside world with you. I guess I am really too selfish that I am clinging to that kind of hope." Princess Mizuki stated as her tears started to run down on her face.

"I think you also know that I cannot do so. You have your Cintamani in my body which means you know well enough that I will never last that long to do all the things that you want to do together." Urashima Taro stated.

"I know which is why it is hurting me every time that I am being selfish." Princess Mizuki stated.

"I actually wanted to return here because I wanted to say goodbye one last time. I wanted to return back here after returning to my mother, but time flowed differently here. A hundred years flew by in the outside world which changed a lot. I guess I also tried to change with the time as well which made me forget my time here as my happiness suddenly became regret." Urashima Taro stated.

"I guess this is goodbye. At least, you kept your promise and returned as that is what I really wished for." Princess Mizuki stated as her tears ran down her face while she called upon her Cintamani since the wish has been fulfilled.

"Yes. I also actually wished to keep my promise back then. I guess that is also why your Cintamani reacted strongly and kept me alive because I have yet to fulfill my promise." Urashima Taro stated as his body started to turn into particles of light.

"I hope that we meet again even if your appearance changes. I will never forget the color of your soul. You will always be my friend that protected me from harm." Princess Mizuki stated.

"I hope we meet again as well. Remember that you were also the friend that helped me when I smiled even when I despaired. You were the one that truly reignited the hope that I have forgotten. Thank you and goodbye." Urashima Taro stated as he finally vanished in beautiful

sparks of light.
