At the beginning, unlimited skill tree!

…According to Hubie, she landed at the center of the explosion and met a human child.

The human child did not panic or faint at all, but just looked at her with hostile eyes and ran away.

This scene is consistent with the scene everyone saw at the beginning.

The child was also carrying a chessboard, which was exactly the same.

Riku's behavior at that time caused Hubie to subconsciously analyze, but he felt a lot of heat in his heart.

As an analyzer, Hubie made a mistake - an [error] called astonishment.

[Judgment: The child is sure that he can win - but he can't do it now.

Assume that it may be the heart, life that the Ex-Machina does not have? ]

After reaching this conclusion, it was determined that it was an important thing that must be analyzed. Because the analysis could not be successful, she was disconnected because of a lot of errors.

Then the two met for the first time!

All of this, all the secrets were revealed to Claire and the others without reservation.

Everyone couldn't bear to watch what happened next.

However -

Riku "…I discovered it a long time ago, although it was just based on my feeling."

…?

...Hey! ? Everyone looked confused, as if they were talking about some kind of international joke.

Something incredible happened again.

The little princess: "..."

...!! Why did she think of 'again'?

Riku had already guessed it? !

With such a stunned mood, everyone witnessed Riku's touching words to Hubie, and hoped that Hubie could put aside her guilt and be with him.

He was a fool who still couldn't help but fall in love with Hubie after considering all of 'those'.

In any case, he no longer had extra time to care about anything else, and now he just wanted to look forward to tomorrow and hold hope.

"Look forward to tomorrow, hold hope..." The little princess whispered these words that contained infinite beauty, with some yearning.

At the end of the confession——[As long as Hubie is here, I want to live even in such a world. ] Riku said such a sentence, which shocked everyone and the elves.

That is a love that is willing to go through hell together!

Such a beautiful emotion is so dazzling that it makes people almost unable to breathe!

Riku put the ring on Shubi and said, "As long as Shubi is here, I will never lose my smile again."

The promise that followed was almost transformed into a picture in everyone's mind.

-Ahhh! Everyone was confused by this sweet surprise!

"So if you don't hate me--"

"No hate--! No, that kind of thing--!"

"Then forget about any reason--are you willing to follow the same path as me? As my wife..."

"Yes, yes, yes!! Promise quickly! Ahhhhh!" The girls blushed excitedly and shouted for Shubi, as if they had all become Shubi in the book.

The Ex-Machina is a corresponding race, and if necessary, they must transform themselves according to the needs.

I don't know when I got that ability, and a tear slid down Shubi's cheek.

[Please let me stay with you forever, forever--by your side...]

When Shubi responded like this, the world seemed to turn into pure white in a roar, and everyone suddenly felt relieved--finally satisfied!

At this moment, Yuzuha suddenly remembered a sentence in her heart, 'Until the world is destroyed, you and I can be separated! '

The figures of Riku and Shubi seemed to be connected together.

Whenever she thought of one of them, she would think of the other.

Love! Love! Woohoo! This love is too sweet and beautiful!

It made her want to have a love affair across races.

What Yuzuha didn't expect was...

Not only her, but a group of elves who were relatively indifferent to feelings were now a little throbbing.

Chapter 385 What he needs is a companion, not a stopper!

...

"...As a result, I kept peeping until the end... What a stupid brother..."

When everyone was immersed in the sweet proposal ceremony of Riku and Shubi.

The perspective turned and came to the entrance of the secret base. Coron sighed and said.

It turned out that Coron had heard about the secret base, and someone told her the truth about the death of [Ghost].

It turned out to be a stinky brother, who did so many things quietly without telling her~!

When Coron arrived here, she accidentally peeked at the whole process.

[——What can I do, because I missed the opportunity to show up. ]

"It's Coron..." The little princess was shocked when she saw Coron appear.

Then she was a little nervous——

What if Coron doesn't support Riku and Shubi's relationship? It shouldn't be...right?

When Shubi talked to Riku just now, she said everything, including her identity as an Ex-Machina.

Although Riku didn't mind, the little princess and the others really couldn't guess what Coron was thinking after knowing everything.

Will she be as friendly to Shubi as before?

At this time, looking at Riku who was stroking Shubi's back who was still crying, Coron suddenly remembered:

The day when Riku escaped the destruction of the settlement and was protected by the adults in Coron's village——

——……

"Hey~ Hey~ Little brother, what's wrong with you?"

Riku, who doesn't talk to anyone, might be able to talk to Coron, who is the same age...

The adults who were expecting this couldn't help but cover their faces with their hands, thinking: You still ask him what's wrong, he is a survivor of the destroyed settlement.

This scene with a strong sense of déjà vu reminded everyone that when Shubi first came to the settlement, Coron also used the same words to educate Riku (this is a survivor of the destroyed settlement).

"Okay, if you have anything to say, you can tell your sister~ (happy) Come on, talk about it~!"

Coron was about to tickle Riku, and Riku said:

"... You are so annoying."

"Hehe~ In this era, my sister will not be sad because of that level of words! Come on, come on, the excuse of not being able to talk is no longer valid~! What happened?"

So Riku said it bit by bit.

The light came from the south, and the settlement was burned down. He pushed his mother who turned into charcoal and moved eastward.

When asked why he didn't look for survivors, chose to escape alone, and chose the east.

At that time, the young Riku gave an answer that surprised Coron:

- Going east is because it is a wilderness... black ash will not accumulate on the ground.

Not looking for survivors is because there is no need.

Even if someone survives, he will not treat them. If they can still "walk" like him, they will also take shelter like him.

- If you go further east, there should be a river. Riku thought that he could survive there, so he kept going until he came to the village where Coron was.

"Incredibly calm... Was he really just a child at that time?" Yuzuha and the others looked at these analyses with exaggerated faces.

If experienced hunters, adventurers, and mercenaries said similar words, they would still think it was excusable.

But Riku, a child who knew nothing at that time, who had no other hobbies except games, could still calm down and think everything through so clearly in that situation.

Make use of limited conditions and survive no matter what.

This tenacity... made the elves speechless.

And some elf girls even had little stars in their eyes.

Because of the story of Riku and Shubi, they want to have a love affair with a human!

In fact, it is better to say that they are more looking forward to having a love affair with an excellent human like Riku!

"... After surviving, what do you want to do?" Suddenly, Coron asked a question that surprised everyone.

Then they all looked at Riku's answer behind curiously.

So tenacious, he must survive no matter what.

Everyone suddenly thought--

At that time, Riku should not know that he would meet Coron and the others' settlement!

If it was in that kind of environment where there was no adult protection and there were crises everywhere.

... That kind of hopelessness-suffocating despair, people with fragile hearts might have given up the idea of ​​surviving and chose to commit suicide!

So Coron (everyone) was very curious, what supported this child, even in a situation where anyone would feel desperate, he still sought survival so calmly.

Ordinary children would definitely cry constantly when encountering such a situation!

"... To win next time... For this purpose, you must survive..." Riku.

All speculations came to an abrupt end.

Seeing Riku's answer, everyone was stunned.

——【Next time】He answered next time, and——he also said he would win.

As Coron recalled, everyone suddenly realized.

The unobservable inner heat that Hubie said, the confidence that Riku believed that he would win next time, turned out to be true!

"These two people...what kind of tacit understanding!" Claire stuttered and was stunned.

Did they understand each other just by "giving a glance"?

This kind of fate...is really too wonderful, it is impossible to copy!

"Ah~~~This child~~I want him to be my younger brother~~!" At the moment when the other adults showed dumbfounded expressions, Coron rubbed his cheek against him.

She found...

The look in Riku's eyes when he said he would win next time——in that unfathomable look.

So Coron suddenly thought that he couldn't be left alone, and she decided to stay with Riku at that time.

In order to prevent this child from doing stupid things impulsively - in order to prevent him from rushing to die - but, in fact...

"I knew it a long time ago... What the child needs is not a sister who can stop him, but someone who can walk on the same path."

Seeing Coron's last words with a hint of relief, blessing and loneliness.

Everyone was impressed by Coron.

It turns out that she has been silently paying so much for her brother all along -?

A strange feeling echoed in everyone's heart, anyway, it was not an emotion like happiness or joy.

I always feel that "sister" is inexplicably distressing!

I originally thought that the stupid sister who only joked and helped everyone relax didn't play a very important role.

But in fact, she was the one who observed everything most carefully.

If it weren't for her, Riku might have collapsed before meeting Shubi! It was because of Coron's comfort and silent dedication behind the scenes that Riku didn't have no one who knew all the pain he was carrying.
