However, only Shubi noticed Riku's confident, self-assured smile...
The other person seems to be having difficulty even breathing...
Chronie is gone. She took one last, deep look at the frail figure lying down. Perhaps, she will spend the rest of her life remembering him…
"...Rick...go to sleep..."
"...No...we need to go and implement 'traffic control' immediately..."
Rick tried to stand up, but he couldn't resist the gentle touch of Shubi's arm on his back.
"...It's alright...they won't start a war right away..."
"...Richard's predictions won't be wrong..."
Hughie gently comforted Rick, knowing she hadn't used any force at all...
Rick still wanted to show off, but Schwi had seen through his entire physical condition...
A candle flickers in the wind... the oil has burned out and the lamp is extinguished...
Only a tiny, almost imperceptible flame remained...
[If it were the old Shubi, she probably wouldn't understand how a creature could survive with such an [abnormal] body.]
【"……But!"】
Rick wanted to say something more, but another sharp pain shot through his body.
"...Just a little rest...and I'll be fine...for Rick...one day will be enough..."
Seeing the unwavering determination in Shubi's eyes, Rick felt a pang of tenderness and relented.
"...Yes...then I'll configure it tomorrow. I'll just rest today."
【"……Um……"】
Seeing Rick lie back down, Shubi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
If Riku insists on it... Shubi doesn't know if she'll ultimately agree...
Time slipped away quietly, and Shubi sat beside Rick, constantly observing his physical condition.
Unfortunately, even the Machine Race is helpless against the corrosive effects of the [Black Ash] entering their bodies...
"...Shubi...I'm sorry, I dragged you down."
"Rick, lying on the bed, suddenly said."
"...Rick, are you asleep now...? Otherwise, you'll be a burden to me..."
Rick gave a wry smile. He really was causing Schbie a lot of worry.
"Before exhaustion and excruciating pain overwhelmed him," Rick said softly.
"...Then, Shubi, I have another favor to ask of you."
"...While I'm asleep, may you hold my hand?"
[...Rick... guessed it?]
[Shubi paused slightly, then looked up and saw Rick's serious expression.]
"...Yes...I'll hold this hand for the rest of my life..."
"...So don't worry...Rick..."
She responded forcefully, the warm touch trying to reassure Rick.
Seeing Shubi's serious expression, Riku finally felt relieved...
"...Shubi, I'm so glad I met you..."
"...I really love you...and I always will..."
Without Shubi, he probably would never have seen hope in his entire life... Shubi was like a ray of light shining into his once gray world...
Thank you...Shubi...
Consciousness was gradually swallowed by pain and exhaustion... Fortunately... the little hand in my palm held onto the last bit of warmth...
[Let Rick sleep peacefully...]
Eros Chocolate World, Metata: "Pure Love is Invincible!"
My Little Sister Can't Be This Cute, Sena Akagi: "They're practically destined protagonists! They run towards each other and redeem each other!"
Regarding my reincarnation as a slime, Rimuru Tempest: "Hmm~! Let's save the world together in the end! Let's use the power of the 'Star Grail' to undo all the sacrifices!"
"May all those who love and are loved return to the side they long for!"
In the world of Naruto, Naruto Uzumaki says, "As expected, the place where someone misses you is the happiest place in the world!"
Tick-tock...tick-tock...
Time ticked by, and Shubi continued to hold Riku's hand tightly, feeling his rapid breathing even in his sleep...
Shubi knew that even though her heart had reached shore, the physical pain wouldn't lessen in the slightest...
Just now, her body desperately wanted to respond to Rick's words of 'love,' but she couldn't express it verbally...
Love seems to be something even more difficult to understand than the heart.
Even so, even though she didn't know how to respond yet, Shubi firmly believed that as long as she was with Rick, she would understand someday!
[...and all of that is predicated on...Rick living...]
[Shubi... Rick needs to live... Shubi... Rick can't die.]
Rick will live for another eight or nine years...
But... Riku seems to be unable to hold on...
[...There's another way...As long as I obtain the [Star Cup], all my hopes can become reality...]
That's... something Shubi has to do!
Even if... it goes against Rick's will...
[At some point, Shubi, with her head bowed, spoke in an almost imperceptible voice.]
"...Rick...I'm sorry...I'll be back soon..."
Then... she let go of Rick's hand...
So what if I'm reincarnated as a spider? Spider-ko: "Holy crap! No, Shubi!"
In the world of caged humans, Si Rui: "...Is it my imagination? Why do I vaguely hear the sound of a knife being sharpened..."
"Your Majesty, spare my life!" Lu Xiaoyu cried out, "An illusion! It must be an illusion!"
"Heh! Hahahaha!! A knife! How could there still be a knife! Impossible! Impossible!!"
In the world of Corpse Brother, Bai Xiaofei exclaimed, "...Kara possession?"
In the world of Genius Basic Law (Strawberry), Lin Chaoxi said, "Shaking hands... is to restrain Shubi, right? It seems Shubi has never disobeyed Rick's requests before, but this time..."
In the Honkai Impact 3rd Railway world, Screw Gum says: "Having mastered [the heart], I have also mastered [lies], even if they are [well-intentioned]."
Chapter 422 'Rare Items'
[In the distant, boundless blood-red sky, in [Avant Heim], lies the homeland of the Skywing race, a colossal fortress perched high above the heavens!]
"The [Void Zero Blessing] of the Forest Elf Alliance."
"There's also [Marrow Burst] from the goblin race."
"Both sides are mere fodder; to dare to oppose Lord Artesius is utterly foolish!"
Two ugly little rubber figures sat on the nearly transparent surface of the crystal water, seemingly symbolizing the two strongest [alliances] on this continent.
Next to the little rubber man stood a Skywing being pointing and gesturing at them.
Black lightning crackled in the Skywing's hand, and with a 'splat', it shattered the two small rubber figures.
"Ouch! That hurts!"
Then I was hit in the eye by a shard of broken rubber...
"You're the fool, Azriel."
Another Skywing sitting to the side mercilessly criticized the other's antics.
With a wave of her hand, a highly detailed map vanished into thin air, clearly the result of extensive research.
"In this way, even we can't attack easily."
The winged girl sounded slightly helpless, then looked up at an intricate magic circle above the main hall.
"Since Lord Artesius intends to wait for the right opportunity, then we will have no choice but to wait as well."
"Hmm... this is so boring."
A pink-haired, golden-eyed girl of the Skywing race seemed rather bored upon hearing what the other person said.
[With a casual tap in the air, a miniature magic circle instantly activated, allowing him to bypass [Avant Heim's] area of effect and go off to have some fun...]
[“Buzz…”]
"There are still 8 left..."
At this point, [the passage rules] are one step closer to the goal.
[This is a lava field. Since the individual combat strength of the non-machine-type is not strong, and 'Shubi' is a 'analyzable entity' with severely insufficient combat power, the closer she gets to the battleground of the various forces, the more difficult her infiltration becomes...]
[Let's run through all the dangerous areas first. Even if we don't finish setting everything up and Rick scolds us, at least we can't let the other side be put in danger again...]
"If I get the [Star Grail], Riku won't die..."
"Rick! Wait for me..."
Just as Shubi was about to use her spirit to quickly leave this place, an unexpected and inappropriate voice suddenly rang out!
"Oh?"
"Are you taking a walk alone?"
Her long, flowing hair, cascading in countless strands, with its purplish-pink fringe reaching past her knees, and the wings extending from her hips, signified her angelic identity.
The purple pupils surrounding the golden irises seemed like something out of mythology, and most of her fair and smooth skin was exposed.
The short top covered her chest, and the long skirt with a slit at the front accentuated her long, slender legs. The over-the-knee sock and long gloves worn only on her right leg and right hand created an asymmetrical beauty.
[By comparing the information, Shubi instantly identified the other person.]
[The final individual of the Skywing species [Jiburiel]!]
In the world of No Game No Life, Sora sighs, "Sigh..."
In the game "Nothing But Game," Bai says, "Xiao Ji, kneel as punishment!"
In the world of No Game No Life, Jibril: "Hi hi! Little Jibril is here... Waaah, yes, Master..."
No Game No Life Zero World, Jibril: "??"
No! So decisively?
What kind of miserable life will I have in the future?!
Although nothing has happened yet, a Skywing species looking for fun has encountered a lone Mech species...
result……
Haha~
"I came to check because I sensed a subtle reaction from using the spirit."
"I never expected to encounter such an unexpected gain."
[Their light-reflecting hair and amber eyes suddenly unfurled, wings woven from light!]
"Gui'an, scrap metal."
A golden cross shone in his pupils, a manifestation of the opponent wielding immense elven power!
[His eyes trembled almost uncontrollably!]
