Chapter.34 Lulin’s Grocery Shopping

***

Wait a minute then.

Oh really?

That doesn’t make sense. What a ghost.

If we were to guess from Elena’s explanation and Mellie’s story, the current situation was truly creepy.

I was dumbfounded by what was revealed and said nothing for a moment. Rulin also looks embarrassed as he repeatedly whimpers and turns his head with his fingers, looking like he’s chewing spoiled food.

“Why are you doing this, El?”

Elena cautiously approached me with worried eyes.

“Did I eat something wrong? “Why are you looking like that?”

And Serena also poked Lulin’s cheek and said something similar to Elena.

The fact that Rurin remains still even after Serena touches the tip of the ball shows how absurd our situation is.

So, I briefly explained to Serena and Elena what had happened.

“What is that... “Are you really kidding?”

Elena asked with a puzzled face. Her blonde hair bounces as she tilts her head. This is unusual for Elena, who rarely expresses her emotions.

“Wait. Elena. “Is it possible to choose the person you want to show off that Hibiren flower?”

But she is sincere. Even though he was puzzled, he answered my questions right away.

“I heard that according to legend, everything depends on the will of the dead person... “El?”

“No, no.”

“Wait a minute, Sister Sally! Then why didn’t it appear to me... That’s how I found it!... sister! “Are you saying my sister is dead?”

Mellie clung to me in tears. But I know very little about Sally.

What on earth did she want that made her appear before us?

Could it be that the hibiren flower lifted her wind and brought her to the presence of the Absolute? So that we can save Mellie?

Even if you die, you’re trying to save someone. If you’ve been through so many difficult things, it’s natural for your mind to become distorted.

Actually, the Sally I experienced was a child with a very transparent and clear personality.

Everyone else fell silent as they looked at the crying Mellie and were lost in thought for a moment.

It was Serena who broke the heavy silence.

“ah! I’ve also heard of that hibiren flower. It’s a fun flower. that’s right.”

“okay?”

However, he soon shook his head with both palms up with a strange expression.

“Of course I don’t believe it. There can be no such thing as a flower that surpasses our great beings, right? Isn’t that right, Geomsun?”

“Who is Geomsoon? And I’m complicated right now, so don’t make me talk. “You idiot.”

With those words, Lurin ignored Serena. Of course, there is no way that Serena will remain silent after being called an idiot.

The fight has started, but no attention is paid to it.

Anyway, there is one thing I need to do now.

Finding the missing Sally.

“Let’s find Sally first. “If he’s really dead, even a corpse.”

Yes, if he really died, his body should at least be found and buried. If you listen to Mellie’s story, there is no way she would have died a comfortable death.

It would be nice to be alive, but... .

The fact that it was not visible to anyone other than me and Rurin fatally destroyed that wish.

Well, there were a lot of things that were too amazing to be an ordinary human being. Was it all thanks to the hibiren flower?

That child is dead.

That’s a story I really don’t want to imagine, so I don’t know what to do.

Whatever the outcome, the knot must be tied.

***

Talk to the Gray boy, shake off all the documents held by the slave trade, and trace the transaction records.

It wasn’t long before Celie’s whereabouts were discovered.

Lulin exploded the slave trade. In addition, all those who did cruel things to Celie will also be punished accordingly.

Of course, those are minor issues.

There is something else that is important.

I was hoping for an ending like that, that the child who appeared before us like a miracle was actually alive... .

As always, reality is reality.

It’s been so long since Celie’s body was left cold. There is no way to save Sally, who has already died.

Even if Elena and I join forces and use recovery magic, it won’t work on the dead.

What I couldn’t bear more than anything was thinking about the time when that child held my and Lulin’s hands and called them mom and dad. It broke my heart to imagine what that child must have felt like at that time.

The only consolation is that Celie looked really happy at that time.

It’s sad that I can now understand that child’s expression.

“What’s strange?”

“Hmm something... There is something good about you. It’s good to depend on you and receive many things from you. But that guy is a little different. I feel like there’s something pitiful about it. “This is the first time I’ve felt this way since Mom and You.”

“really?”

That’s amazing.

That Rurin had feelings for someone other than me. Isn’t that proof that her inner self has grown even further?

I quietly hugged Lulin, who nodded. He hugs Rurin’s waist tightly and opens his mouth in a low voice.

“are you okay. It’s natural. “There’s nothing strange about it.”

“Hmm. I do not know. Still, one thing is certain.”

“okay? “What are you sure about?”

“If you die, I will die too. I was sure that if you died, I would never be able to survive! “You must not die.”

Rurin cried out, rubbing her forehead as she was held in my arms.

So I just patted the back of his head without answering. Then, looking over Lulin’s shoulder, I noticed a piece of paper next to the kitchen knife in the kitchen and had a strange feeling.

“Lurin, wait a minute.”

I walked away from Rurin and went to the kitchen. And I picked up a piece of paper.

It was a letter left by Celie.

.

.

.

.

sorry.

I’m sorry for leaving without saying a word.

As you may have heard from Mellie, I am older than I look.

Still, you two may be children.

It’s amazing that since I’m a soul, I can project letters I couldn’t learn.

Thanks to that, I am grateful that I can leave my last words like this.

I wanted to stay longer.

I really wanted to stay longer.

However, the journey you make with hibiren flowers is proportional to the number of hibiren flowers in your hand when you die.

The hibiren flower taught me that eating flowers maintains one’s true nature.

So now it’s the last time.

Save Mellie and I will disappear. Because I don’t have any more hibiren flowers.

I don’t want to forget what I spent here. I’m sure I’ll forget it, but I don’t want to forget it, so I cry. But those tears are empty because they have no substance.

But what is certain is that the short time I spent here was the happiest time of my life.

... no, I do not want.

I hate being the last one.

I don’t want to die.

I don’t want to die.

Why should I die? I’ve never experienced anything good in my life, but I only knew that kind of life. Why should I die?

... There was a time when I grumbled and cursed my life, but now I have let go of that resentment.

Because I learned that there is still light in this gloomy world.

I don’t want to go yet.

But when the time comes, it disappears.

scary.

I’m so scared I’m shaking.

I’m really scared that my existence will disappear.

I didn’t really think about that when I was dying. I just wanted it all to be over.

Being scared means having regrets, so since it was such a good memory, is that really a good thing?

I was happy to be able to call them mom and dad.

mom and dad! mom and dad!

scary.

Is there such a thing as a next life?

Then I want to meet a good mom and dad.

I wish they were cheerful people like you two.

But it would be impossible. Even when I was alive, my wish never came true.

now...

I’ll go.

It’s time for that.

Goodbye, mom and dad.
