Chapter 297 They Had a Completely Different Impression (1/2)
On a bed in a dimly lit room, there lies an old woman.
With a skinny body, while trying to keep her weak eyes…… The old woman calls out to the girl beside her, who continues to stare at her.
[……Good grief…… I tried…… to persevere but…… as expected…… I’m almost reaching my limits…… 150 years huh…… Who would have thought…… I’d be able to live this long just because of my clinginess.]
[…………………]
The old woman slowly speaks her words, as her body hardly moves anymore, and her face only slightly tilted towards the girl.
She was the woman who clings to life the most in the world. She took various life-prolonging measures and continued to chase her dream of becoming an immortal until the day she lay on her bed.
However, it was never for her own sake…… She continued to fight against the barrier of human lifespan, trying not to leave behind one important…… really important person in her life.
But unfortunately, the old woman couldn’t get over that wall…… and so, her life would soon run out.
[However…… Well…… Being on the verge of death like this…… makes me understand. I am…… a lucky fellow…… If I were to wish more happiness than this…… I will be struck by divine punishment.]
[……………….]

[……It’s just that…… there’s one thing…… I regret…… That I was unable to be with you…… Until the end……]
[………………..]
[……I’m sorry…… I will…… be leaving you…… I’ll be going first.]
She realizes that she is dying and apologizes to her best friend, with whom she has spent most of her life with, for dying first.
Thereupon…… many tears fall into the old woman’s hands.
[……No……]
[……Unnn?]
[……I don’t want this…… Iris…… Don’t die…… Don’t leave me alone……]
The girl who became immortal burst into tears and told the old woman not to die.
The old woman was the last one already…… The last among the beings the girl loves with all her heart…… and other than this old woman, the others have already died.

[……You’re still…… as selfish as usual…… but, sorry……]
[…..Iris……]
[……Hey, OOOOOO? Do you mind…… if I ask you…… one favor?]
[……Eh? U- Unnn.]
Reaching out a withered hand to the girl’s eyes, wiping away the girl’s tears with her trembling hand, the old woman slowly…… spoke with a smile.
[……Do you remember…… that bet we made a long time ago? You know…… that bet we made…… in the trading city……]
[Eh? Unnn…… That bet is about “who can have a lover first”, right?]
[Yeah…… In the end…… The both of us never had one……]
[……It’s not that Iris couldn’t, it’s that you didn’t, right? For my sake……]
It was just a small game they played a long time ago. Two girls who had never been in love and made such a small bet to see who could fall in love and have a lover first.

But in the end, the bet never came to an end. The reason why the girl who became an immortal monster couldn’t was obvious, but even though the old woman had such an opportunity, they were all rejected without hesitation…… She chose to remain with the girl.
[……No…… In the end…… I wasn’t able…… to find someone…… better than you.]
[It’s the same for me. I couldn’t find anyone I would feel more comfortable with, Iris.]
[……I see…… Hey, OOOOOO?]
[What is it?]
Her muffled voice calls out the girl’s name, the old woman utters her small wish.
[…… I want you…… “to experience love”……]
[Eh?]
[……Fall in love…… Find your significant other…… and then…… be happy……]
[……Why….. are you……]

The girl, perhaps sensing what the old woman is trying to say, opens her eyes wide and has a shocked expression on her face.
That’s because the wish uttered by the old woman…… is a restraint for the girl after she loses the old woman……
