Chapter 316: What has been lost and what he might lose...



"Unexpectedly... You are quite good at gardening and stuff..."

Lia looked quite impressed watching Rio, who was working in the garden, with a rare serious look on his face.

"Well, I used to have several flower pots at home; there were roses, sunflowers, and some herbal plants too... I kind of learned it while messing around in dirt..."

"Hmm, come to think of it, Mom used to scold me for getting my clothes dirty... I was quite the troublesome kid, actually..."

Rio has mixed-up memories; the part where he used to take care of flowers was from his past life, and the part where he used to get scolded for playing in dirt is from his present life.

But he's telling them both at the same time so as to avoid revealing about his previous life.

"Wow... It's quite shocking, actually. I didn't expect someone as cool-minded as you... used to be a total brat in your younger days..."

Seeing the shocked look on Lia's face, Rio shook his head and said,

"I was not always that cool-minded... Your parents grow you up with love and care, so you get spoiled, but when the world shows you reality, you adapt accordingly...."

"Those who can't adapt to the fast-changing world can't live a happy life... That's the way the world is..."

Rio gently grasped a flower and spoke.

"My dream is to live a happy life... To be happy is to adapt to the way of the world and live in coexistence..."

Lia smiled and said,

"So... will you be satisfied with the bare minimum and wouldn't even want money, power, or fame?"

Rio smiled at that question and replied in a calm voice,

"As long as you are with me, I don't care about the world..."

Lia blushed a bit at those words and nodded her head, "Yeah, me too..."

...

Although Rio did say that he was quite a troublesome kid, Lia refused to believe those words.

She can instinctively feel that Rio is lying about something, but she didn't point it out because she thought it would be rude.

She already knows about Rio's past and how his parents died and he lived in an orphanage, so she didn't ask much about those days, so he doesn't have to remember that time.

But she couldn't stop her curiosity either, so she asked,

"By the way... What kind of person was your mother?... You don't seem to talk much about your past..."

Seeing the nervous look on her face, Rio smiled a bit and then said,

"No need to be that tense... well... It was quite a long time ago, and I was still a kid, so my memories are hazy..."

"But from what I remember... she was the type to always smile; her smile was like a radiant sun and....... well..."

'Hmm?...'

Suddenly, the look on Rio's face turned solemn all of a sudden, and sweat started to appear on his forehead.

'I-I can't remember her face.... W-wait....'

He got up from the ground, and a rare look of panic appeared on his face. He rubbed his temples and tried to remember it again, but there was still nothing.

Rio couldn't remember his mother's voice or her face; he seems to have lost that memory and the emotions that the original Rio felt in those days.

'Sigh...'Th.ê most uptodate novels are published on n(0)velbj)n(.)co/m

When Rio first came to this world, he had the memories and emotions of the original Rio.

But now, he's starting to lose them along with his past life emotions.

Everything has become a lot hazy, and he's already forgotten his previous life's name too.

Rio calmed down his mind and stopped thinking about this matter; the more he thought, the more he would get concerned.

"What happened?"

to live happily either.

This is the tragedy of those who love and want to be loved. The one who is the most loyal

suffers the most.

After the work in the garden was done, Rio and Lia went home together while holding hands.

Today, Rio told Lia one of his deepest secrets that he never wanted to mention to anyone.

Although there are no direct methods to cure it, now that Lia knows about it, things may change for the better.... Perhaps...

Love may bring happiness, but it is also one of the greatest sources of pain, misery, and regret... It doesn't take much to change that feeling of happiness into suffering. Holding your love firm is the only way to keep it safe, but would a love placed in a cage still be

considered 'free'?

Riya's room.

Unlike Rio and the others, who were punished with cleaning the pool or taking care of the

garden, Riya was banned from eating candy.

So she has been sitting in front of the TV the entire day, staring at the door with an expectant

look on her face.

She asked Link to bring her some, but Raji caught him and kicked him away, so now she's

staring at the door, waiting for Raji to come back to return her space ring as the day ends.

"Ugh... How do normal people live! I can't live a second without my candies! This is so

unfair!"

After not eating candy for nearly a month after coming back from Oaklum, Riya trained and

became stronger.

But now that she can eat the candies again, her candy addiction has become even stronger

than it was before. "Sigh... She really isn't coming... Did she eat my candy herself? Tch! how rude!"

"I will definitely tell mom about how she bullied me today!! Hmph!" Riya had no choice but to go back to watching boring TV serials with no candies or snacks.

'Oh, god of candies... Give me strength to survive this day...'

Riya prayed to her great god of candies to ask for the endurance to survive a day without

candies.

But then her stomach started to grumble, and her expression turned angry.

'Stupid sister! Just you wait, I will tell mom that you are a chain smoker, you do weird drugs,

and you drink 3 tons of alcohol every day!!!

(She's exaggerating; Raji doesn't smoke or use drugs...)
