Noelle stared at the spot where Reno had been, those harsh words still ringing in her ears. But if you acknowledge and accept that statement, you will feel guilty for your deceased partner.

Even if you accept your vulnerability and stand up again, the past will not disappear.

"What should I do..." His thoughts were still connected with death, and the faces of his friends who lost their lives because of him appeared in his mind.

Yuyi gently hugged Noel who lowered his head: "Please live."

Yuyi's hand holding Noel was trembling, recalling the time when she was controlled by Parentyne. If Renault hadn't stopped him at that time, he might have killed an innocent person.

Now, perhaps several of their lives have been taken away. Yu Yi cannot imagine how heavy a crime that would be.

"I don't know you, and it's irresponsible to say this to you, but please stay alive."

Even though she couldn't understand other people's thoughts, couldn't resonate, even if she couldn't share feelings, she found a clear answer.

“When hope of survival is lost, the desire to choose death is understandable, but that is wrong.”

Yuyi's voice gradually became stronger: "Choosing death means denying your past self and those who have helped you!"

Yuyi said to herself who had lost hope: "Live on."

While the answer still hasn't emerged, she sees a faint path forward. That's the thing about "if you can save the life in front of you, don't hesitate to lend a helping hand."

“No matter how much you think about it, the answer won’t come because you can’t compensate with your life!”

Unconsciously, Yuyi was already crying. Seeing Yuyi like this, Noel was surprised: Why would she shed tears for such a helpless person?

Yuyi couldn't hold back her tears and smiled: "But even if it's just a little bit, there is still something rewarding...please don't forget it."

Yuyi's voice was hoarse from tears: "You will always be troubled by it in the future. About life, about yourself, about the meaning of living. In it, please don't forget the people who accompany you."

Noel's eyes widened, and his barrier was unknowingly untied. Possibly due to the properties of water, the concentration of moisture in the air has increased.

The moisture reflecting sunlight illuminates Yuyi, as if it were the light that shines through after the clouds open after a rain.

"So, please live." Yuyi said with a smile.

Noel forgot his thoughts and shed tears. People who cry for themselves still exist. My fragility, my childish mind, and the sins of the past that cannot be changed must all be carried forward and I must continue to think about them.

However, at this moment, when someone is crying for themselves, only at this moment, let go and cry.

After the moment is over, be sure to stand up again. Yuyi hugged the crying Noel's head tightly with her chest.

Milo sat at the top of the brick chimney, swinging his feet and playing, his eyes turning from the distance downwards. He then saw Reno landing on the roof of the building opposite.

Renault looked up at Milo: "You waited a long time, you are very worthy of praise."

"I'm just as busy and can't keep waiting for you, and I'm not waiting all the time."

"Oh? Are you really busy?"

Seeing Renault's proud smile, Milo responded with a helpless smile: "Don't get me wrong, let Noel collapse in my plan."

"what?"

"The collapsed Noel was saved by you and Yuyi. If these two people were defeated miserably by me, then she would really be broken."

"what are you talking about?"

"This is about the most basic human psychological structure, people on the edge of despair seeking hope. Even in the dark, humans are surprisingly able to persevere." Milo continued in a regretful tone.

"But once you see a glimmer of hope in the darkness, an emotion you've never felt before suddenly emerges. It's called the fear of loss."

Milo stood on the chimney: "And when it touches that straw of hope, destroying the last glimmer of hope with despair, the spiritual pillar will easily collapse."

Milo pointed his right index finger at Renault below: "At that time, Noel will become my trump card."

After listening to Milo's words, Renault covered his head: "You are so disgusting."

"No need to understand, because you will soon become 'my thing' too."

"That's not what I said." Renault said, pointing at Milo, "If you really want to get something, you should come here yourself."

"Oh, did you notice?"

"Of course, you bastard. Even though what you're doing is just a child's fantasy, it's ridiculous how careful you are to expose yourself."

Milo chuckled: "Sure enough, you are really good. I really want to get you."

"If it's not the counterfeit, but the real one, can I negotiate with you? Of course, that will have to wait until I destroy everything about you." Renault said and bent down, and the scenery changed instantly.

Renault looked around in surprise. The place turned into a desolate wilderness.

"Because I didn't want to see my city destroyed, I moved to another place."

"There is no preparatory action or chant, so you are forced to teleport. You are really a monster. Don't worry, you are the only one who will be thrown here."

Milo tilted his head and smiled: "I have to teach you the difference in strength. You will only be the one thrown into nothingness by me."

"what?"

"This is preparation to get you. First, instill an overwhelming power gap." Milo said enthusiastically, and Renault returned a sinister smile.

"Try it, bastard. I will destroy all your childish plots and greed." Renault said this and sneered.

Renault's jump cut through the ground, distorted the space, and accelerated in less than 0.1 seconds before approaching the suspended Milo.

However, the kick from Renault's right foot just cut through the air, and this weak sight made him feel something was wrong.

Before Renault could think, Milo kicked Renault from behind, slamming him into the ground. Milo looked at Reno rolling on the ground and chuckled.

"This is a 'mutual displacement' skill that allows you to swap the positions of yourself and your opponent. How about it? Unlike magic, there is no preparatory action, so it is hard to detect, right?"

Milo laughed mockingly, and Raynor stood up, glaring at him before leaping across the ground again.

"You really don't have a long memory." Milo and Renault's positions were instantly exchanged.

But Renault created the darkness of 'Gluttony' in front of his eyes, kept his speed and disappeared through it.

In the short time that Milo was surprised, Renault appeared from the darkness behind. The right fist looked like it was about to connect, but Leno suddenly stopped mid-air.

"Cut!" Renault's tongue hissed, and a cracking sound sounded. He tried to break through the space to approach Milo who was far away from him again, but this time he was quickly pulled to the ground from above by a huge force of gravity.

A semicircular pit instantly formed on the ground, but with the sound of space breaking, gravity disappeared. Milo held his stomach and rolled in the air laughing.

"How does it feel to be treated as a toy by me? What you just used was the 'Gravity' skill that your companions also have and the 'Wooden Man' skill that can stop people and objects." Milo said enthusiastically.

Renault stood up and twisted his neck, and then a space crack appeared between him and Milo. The crack burst open, and with the blast of wind toward the center, Milo was sucked in.
