Chapter 235 (2/2)
Yet no ic, there was no foundational change in her as a person She was still that witch who hated hu “storly rando other strangers incredibly rudely—it was actually because she could see through anyone and if they had good or bad intentions
Due to her hatred of humans and love of simpler life forms, her sense of values was different from most people In her mind, simple, cute plants had far an to hate her own identity as a hue of a perfect existence, she unhesitatingly used her colleagues and acolytes as experimental subjects to make future preparations for her own personal body modifications
Most crazy people believe that the world was crazy while they were actually the only normal person around If this was the standard used to measure insanity, then Amelia was doubtlessly completely insane, as she always believed herself to be the only normal person out there
“I don’t have friends, I don’t have enemies (because they’re all dead), I don’t have a lover… I don’t have any of those hated two-legged animals in my life Ahh, what a joyous life I have”
And just as she began shutting herself off in her own little world, believing this to be how life should be lived, she met a new acolyte, the Roland from that year
“Ah, there’s actually such a pure person?”
Don’t get rave What was pure about him definitely wasn’t kindness; he had just been betrayed by the entirety of human society, so his pureness was pure hatred and desire for revenge against the entire world
“Even though he appears to be s so sunnily on the surface, his only desire is sieting any specific person, he’s targeting the entirety of hu as scummy as humanity doesn’t even need to exist in this world; this world doesn’t need a savior! Just let everything be destroyed’ His understanding of how things should be is truly a”
From a certain standpoint, the way I was in the past created thishu more than ants to be stepped on, I didn’t know at all that I was being a source of pollution that was infecting Amelia with hatred
And after Amelia chose me as her acolyte, the two of us that both hated hu down the saic while she was researching plantundead creation while she was researching forbidden aniic Neither of us had any limits or moral boundaries of any kind, and we influenced each other as well, beco worse and worse
For Amelia back in that year, she considered me to be a true friend that understood her, soain in a thousand years I was the only person in the world who she could be honest and direct with Imperceptibly, she sunk farther than even she expected
Plants were sience The most they could do was listen to Amelia’s complaints, but of course it was impossible for them to react in any way However, humans were social creatures by nature, and all hunized, trusted, and known by others Even Aotten used to and enjoyed being alone, was no exception
After Amelia, who had been alone for the past over one hundred years, opened up her heart for the first time to this “male childhood friend” of hers, she really treated e In fact, she was a little naggy and obsessive about it, which helped ot what I needed, and obtained the power to take ht before leaving formy studies in the Cloud Tower, I did e had never been shaken, I unhesitatingly reported Amelia just for the sake of Kaid and my other friends’ safety in the future
Of course, As She only found it strange, strange and incomprehensible
“Why did you betray e, without any desire for revenge, without any ambition, without even any personal benefits? It’s basically like ‘The sun is co to rain today I’o report Amelia,’ and just betray me with a state of mind as if it was only natural… is it only because I’ sunk Amelia into a state of utter confusion and despair Perhaps the fact that she co after was also related to this
When A with the trouble I left behind for her and decided to confidently go looking for e, she heard the news of her “acolyte’s” death
Amelia, who had always had an icy nature, e of emotions for the first time in her life, but those e Instead, she felt angry, unwilling, despairing, lost, and sad She found, to her astonishment, that she had a heartache—not because of the pain of betrayal, but fro the one person who knew her best That pain felt like so tiht of how she could never see that person she loved to hate so ht of how she would never be able to see that fake sain, how she would never be able to see that person who understood her way of thinking, how she would never be able to truly open up and talk to another again, and how she had forever lost this only haven of hers Amelia felt a heartache for the first time in her life, but she didn’t even knohere her heart was anyretted for the first ti her ability to cry
Fro for Aain shut herself within a box with nobody else inside, and used a falsewith everyone else
And three hundred plus years later, fate caused us tith such a love-hate relationshi+p to ears of ti once ain didn’t knohat to do or think
She had expected that I would be shocked, afraid, or even instantly atteh I indeed acted like I wanted to escape, and never stopped co on the surface, her own ability told her that I was quite happy to ain, happy to see her, happy to have a reunion with her!
At that es and dissatisfaction all vanished, and she alhed out loud from the joy in her heart She was only forceful in her words and threats but not actions, because at that moment, Amelia finally came to a realization and noticed what she truly felt
“I was actually in love with hi was only an excuse or a fake reason “I want to be by his side” was actually the source of everything
“He already has a girlfriend… well, I only wanted a friend anyways—yep—it’s fine as long as I have fun by his side”
Ahts of co to express her eh for her, even if it was just an excuse that she used in order to nu to learn how to cook, that was just another way of her displaying her unwillingness to lose
But, a certain rash person’s actions broke that excuse of hers that even she didn’t believe in
That appeal for love and all those flowers on that street couldn’t possibly fool Amelia She only took one second to understand my true intentions with her ability, but Amelia was shaken by this chance that would never co as I accept—no—as long as I don’t severely refuse him, we’ll be viewed as lovers by everyone, and he’ll even beco after me…”
In the end, she made her decision, and even personally helped make those scandalous rumors spread even faster She was even related to the fact that those rus… Even she herself didn’t knohy she did all that Probably, she could only barely come up with half a reason—this was her instinctualfor a direct competition
But after that battle, she sunk into hesitation and confusion due to being overly shaken
“I don’t even have a normal physical body anymore, nor can I possibly have a normal child Will he mind?”
“My reputation is so bad, and I’ve done many bad deeds—will he hate h he only views me as a friend, at least it’s better than what he sees that Elisa as Roland only views that girl as fahter At the very least, Roland still views hts kept her mind in constant turmoil She hadn’t fully recovered from her injuries from the battle at Red Maple Castle yet, and now she just finished fighting with Emordilorcan In order to perform to her fullest in this Earth Elemental Plane that lacked the wind and water elements, Amelia had worked harder and paid more of a price than what she appeared on the surface
Now that she was in such a weakened state and a confused state of mind, it caused her to lose control of her entire physical body, revealing her truest forht noas just like that of an ostrich that had stuck its head into the ground, sinking into a deep for like this; everything won’t be so bothersome anymore… What will Roland do? Will he be sad if he notices that I’ether with that little girlfriend of his? Will he forget about et about this foolish woet about this foolish woman who doesn’t kno to do any househatsoever?”
Her consciousness kept floating around for what she felt an unknown length of time It wasn’t that she was unable to control the situation outside—it was that A to control her physical body under all her self-coh walls of her own construction However, finally, there was a familiar knock on herbeauty, it’s ti toto be really awesoo”
Was this another hallucination? Why did this hallucination seem so real, then? That familiar smile even had soht at seeing her seeo, when this no-good acolyte of hers had cooked breakfast and was attehter experi, Roland”
The red-faced A so empty, but she saw that Roland felt surprised for athis, before he s, Aain”
The witch’s face instantly beca hot, and unbeknownst to her, her shtly, while she complained in a tiny voice that only she could hear
“He’s so sly hat he’s thinking! That Roland, he’s basically cheating…”
