Hasn't she come back yet?

Nathaniel asked.

The head guard knew that the "she" he was referring to was An Ran.

The head guard shook his head.

"No."

pity.

Nathaniel also wanted to discuss new deep space exploration plans with Enron.

perhaps……

We could also consider letting her succeed as the Arbitrator of the Exiled Empire.

At that moment, the voice of the chief guard rang out again from within the sphere of light.

"However, although the Prophet Anran did not return in person, news still came back."

"Oh?"

Nathaniel raised an eyebrow.

"What did you say?"

The head guard smiled and said, "She said she wanted to take a long vacation, just like everyone else."

"put……"

Nathaniel didn't say the last word.

This sounds like something Enron would say.

Nathaniel slowly raised his head, his gaze passing through the edge of the sphere of light and disappearing into the distant cluster of buildings.

……

Speaking of holidays, he hasn't had one in a long time.

Some things we only realize the value of when we lose them.

Take this ordinary repair shop, for example.

As Anran reached out to touch the counter and the tools that had fallen to the ground, she felt as if she were embracing time—the past, the present, and the future.

Another example is leisurely time.

Only then could Anran truly enjoy a vacation undisturbed by anyone.

Quests, conflicts, the Cult of Mechanics, players...

You can forget it all.

The birds perched on the streetlights across the street are more likely to evoke a sense of freedom and joy.

Ding ding ding--

As the clock struck ten in the morning, the door to the inner room of the repair shop suddenly opened, and standing in front of An Ran was Ella, who had changed into a white dress.

Ella wasn't adorned with many decorations.

Her all-white outfit perfectly accentuated her skin, which was even whiter than cream.

This also made her already petite body even more like a white jade bead, making people want to take care of her.

The moment Ella emerged, Anran felt as if she had returned to the day she first met Ella.

Many years have passed, and although Ella's appearance hasn't changed much, her overall demeanor is completely different from before.

If I had to use a word to describe it, I'd say "mature".

But Ella today is completely different.

It was probably because they were going to see Eudora, who was, after all, Ella's "mother".

Ella's appearance was completely befitting of her youthful innocence.

It might be because of nervousness.

Half an hour ago, Ella said she was going to change her clothes, and that change took half an hour.

"Let's go, let's set off."

Ella looked up at Anran with her bright, star-like eyes.

How do we get there?

“Um…” Ella hesitated for a long time, “Let’s take a car.”

If it's a high-dimensional projection, then it only takes the blink of an eye.

"Ah."

Anran nodded.

We've already waited a long time, so a little more time won't matter.

To be honest, she's a little nervous right now.

This is no ordinary meeting.

But when Anran saw Ella standing beside her, nervously clutching the hem of her clothes, a surge of emotion welled up inside her.

Like a hot, humid sea breeze blowing across the sea in summer.

Nearby, waves were rolling.

In the distance, ripples are quietly spreading.

Anran slowly reached out and took Ella's hand in hers as she looked on in astonishment.

Tiny.

Even a calm hand can easily grasp it.

"The journey is expected to take half an hour."

"Ah."

Ella lowered her head and responded softly.

This wasn't the first time I'd had this experience, but this time I felt differently than usual.

In the car, Ella leaned gently against Anran.

The buildings of Twin Moon City receded rapidly, and a vast wilderness suddenly came into view.

The rebuilt No. 1886 after the war is still as empty as ever due to the sparse population.

Ella slowly closed her eyes.

She could clearly feel that she was alive.

It's no different from Enron.

Thanks to touch, she can feel a sense of peace.

Thanks to her vision, she could see Anran's happiness and sadness.

Thanks to her hearing, she can get closer to Anran.

grateful……

The train traversed the plains and headed straight into the distant valleys.

...an hour later...

"So, you're saying you'll be staying at number 1886 for a long time this time?"

Eudora's eyes lit up.

Her face remained as "young" as ever, and after hearing about Anran's vacation plans, it radiated an even more hydrated glow.

"I guess I'll stay here for a year or two."

Anran nodded with a smile.

This means that she will not appear in the players' view in the newly released 4.1 version.

It's time for players to experience the joy of freedom and unrestrained expression.

Eudora asked cautiously, "Have you found a place to stay yet?"

"It's in Twin Moon City."

"Twin Moon City."

Eudora was taken aback.

However, it's not very far.

If you wish to visit them, you can set off at any time.

pretty good.

Eudora's eyes curved into crescents as she was in a good mood.

"You all sit here for a while, I'll go cook."

As Eudora spoke, she picked up the apron that she had thrown on the chair. Just as she was about to walk into the kitchen, Anran called out to her from behind.

"Is there a problem?"

Yudora looked at Anran with a puzzled expression.

"that……"

An Ran opened her mouth, still feeling very nervous as the moment approached.

But it's the same for Ella.

Her right hand, which she had been nervously holding to her side, was now being grasped by a small, cold hand.

It was still trembling slightly.

But it was precisely this trembling that strengthened An Ran's resolve.
