"My master held high the holy sword of the Narcissus Cross, a ritual sword. The blade was not sharp, but it shone in the sun."

"'Look,' he said, 'even such an ugly monster can gain wisdom and a chance of redemption through the power of my Narcissus Cross incarnation.'"

Catepillar repeated his master's words.

"I am his work, and as a proof of the power of the Narcissus Cross, I have also held the sword for the Society."

"But the holy sword obviously failed to save my master from the fate of failure and destruction. The magical props... no longer exist."

"There will no longer be monsters like me wearing human skin."

Catepillar described vividly.

Ying was reluctant to interrupt him.

She wanted to say that the sword had been taken away by her...

Let's pick a time to make it clear.

Now, everyone knows what Catepila has experienced.

But there is still a question, why did he help Lenore?

"Because of pity..." Catepila said.

"Just like I learned how to change the image of myself in the eyes of others. Although human nature cannot be obtained, it can at least be imitated."

Paimon said he didn't understand...

[That is to say, he is just imitating the emotions that humans have]

[Maybe just like AI can analyze emotions, but they don't have these things themselves]

The same is true for Caterpillar.

Many things are no different in terms of results.

They all agreed that Linor should not stay in Melo Petersburg and should return to her relatives.

So they chose to help her.

However, Ying and Paimon's actions came from natural kindness and did not require extra thinking and calculation.

And Caterpillar's purpose in doing this was just to... make himself more like a human.

"Isn't it ridiculous? I can never become a real human, but I can't stop imitating."

Caterpillar didn't seem to understand his own behavior.

Just like he wanted to go back to prison to atone for his sins.

According to the laws of Fontaine, his sins in the past 400 years have long been paid off.

However, he didn't know what a real human being would do after redeeming his sins...

In his cognition, he would never be able to forgive the mistakes he made.

The harm he caused, the people and things that could not be undone.

"My sins should never be redeemed, and I will always be my own prisoner."

As they were talking, they had come to a mountain.

This place was sparsely populated, but the scenery was extremely beautiful.

Catepila gently woke Lenore up.

"Look, that's where you should really go home, just like Agnes said. The hills where the gentle breeze blows, on the grass full of flowers."

"That's it...? Indeed, just like what my mother said..."

Linore rubbed her eyes and looked at the small house with lights on in the distance.

It can be seen that the owner of the house loves flowers and plants.

Various flowers are carefully taken care of in the yard in front of the door.

"Please send Lenore there."

"What about Brother Carter? Brother Carter won't come with me?" Even facing the hillock man Carter, Lenore didn't feel anything wrong.

"I'm tired. I'll rest here first and catch up with you in a while."

"Then I'll rest here too..."

Linore began to talk about her good friends in Melo Petersburg.

Unfortunately, she couldn't go back.

[I remember this place. Isn't this the task of driving dogs? There is an old man]

[Maybe the host is lazy and didn't do this task]

After resting for a long enough time, Carter still didn't want to go on the road.

Lenore also saw it.

He might never see Brother Carter again.

Because if the story ends, all the characters in the story will disappear...

Carter Pila told her, "Your adventure story has just begun, and there is a vast world waiting for you to explore."

"And we are only separated for a short time."

"Really? Is it really true? Although Brother Carter has never lied to me. But..."

Carter told Lenore another story.

Finally persuaded the little girl.

Ying and Muyang took the little girl and knocked on Earnshaw's door.

As soon as the old man saw Lenore, he recognized her...

Everyone told Earnshaw about Agnes.

During this time, Lino also made some supplements with childish words.

Earnshaw held back his tears, "So that's it... Silly girl... It turns out that she has..."

Linore raised her head and asked naively, "Mom is no longer in Melro Petersburg, is she not here?"

She still doesn't understand the concept of death.

Earnshaw sniffed, "She doesn't like it here, so she never came back after she left."

"Well why? Here are all the things she likes." Lenore pointed to the dogs in the garden.

"Prince, Princess and Warrior, I recognized them as soon as I saw them."

"Mom said she always changes her mind, changes very quickly, and pesters Dad... Oh, it's the puppy that Grandpa asked for a long time before agreeing to raise. Although I like to dress them up..."

"But soon I got something I like more, so I didn't see the puppy grow up."

Little Lenore felt a little aggrieved, "Why doesn't she come back? If she doesn't come back, I will grow up too."

Earnshaw sobbed silently and gently stroked his granddaughter's head.

"She will see it."

"Really? I thought she had something she liked more, so she didn't want me anymore."

It turned out that this was what Lenore really thought in her heart.

[Alas, Lao Mi always stabs me from the side in various ways]

[The more naive Lenore is, the more lethal she is to me]

[I am hard-hearted and love to watch these]

The grandparents and grandchildren recognized each other and invited Ying and others as well as Carter to come in as guests.

Everyone couldn't refuse, so each of them took a stewed pancake, and there was also a portion for Carter.

Only then did they say goodbye to the enthusiastic Earnshaw.

With such a grandfather, Lenore should be able to grow up healthily.

Back to the mountainside, Mu Yang gave the pancake sent by Earnshaw to Caterpillar.

Caterpillar took it and turned back into a human.

Started to eat the pancake.

Mu Yang said, "With her current appearance, it's okay for her to meet her grandfather."

Mu Yang rarely spoke, perhaps because he felt that it was a bit rare for the Qiuqiu people to express their emotions.

Caterpillar shook her head, "He returned to the normal world and was accompanied by real family. This is a good ending for her story."

Swallowed the last bite of the pancake and watched the lights in the small house in the distance go out.

"As for me... She will soon forget me."

In this regard, Paimon is more sensitive than Caterpillar.

After all, feelings are innate.

"You are so important to her, you won't forget it so easily."

Caterpillar disagreed, "For children, whether they meet or part, they will forget it quickly, so that they can grow up."

"I am just a character in a fantasy story, sometimes a hero, sometimes a monster..."

"Let the fantasy story stay in the memories of the past. Now he has the real world. It is thousands of times better than the fantasy story."

He turned around, "Thank you, the rest of the matter, wait until [Narcissus Cross Society] to talk about it."
