Chapter 158 A Distance Further Than Death
"Ying seems to be very concerned about this issue. Is she afraid that I will do something bad to her?"
“…No, that’s not the case.”
The goddess Mu Ying lowered her head and didn't dare to look into Mu You's eyes. What was she talking about? Even she herself couldn't understand...
She didn't understand. She was obviously an ordinary girl who grew up in this small mountain village. She had never seen the outside world. Her biggest wish was to go to the next city to eat trumpet sushi.
She should have lived an ordinary life, until one day she picked up a boy on her way home from shopping... From then on, her life seemed to have turned into a dream:
Yuu would chat with her until late at night, would cook all kinds of delicious food for her, and when she was hesitant, he would grab her hand and take her to eat the trumpet sushi she had been looking forward to for a long time...
Although Yuya has been hiding a lot of things from her and seems to be a little unfaithful, because of his arrival, Tenjoumei's life, which was originally alone, seems to have really become different.
It was not until today that the goddess Mu Ying discovered that Mu You was actually a "god" who appeared to fulfill her wish.
A wish from a god!
When the goddess Mu Ying learned about this, her first reaction was surprise, and then hesitation.
After all, it is written in the books that after the gods fulfill the wishes of mortals, they will leave the world and return to their own kingdom of God.
"Is Yuu leaving too?"
"????"
Mu You listened to the celestial maiden Mu Ying's nonsensical words and for a moment didn't understand why she asked that, but he still chose to answer truthfully:
"All good things come to an end."
Well, Mu You still can't make girls happy as usual. Although Tiannv Muying still has a smile on her face, it seems to Mu You that the smile is forced.
Mu You was silent. He saw the sadness in Ying's eyes and remembered the scarred heart beneath Ying's smiling appearance.
"Everyone will disappear... Mom left me behind, I don't know where... Grandpa also left me behind, I'm so scared... I don't want to be alone again, I don't want to see the people I cherish leave..."
The goddess Mu Ying looked up in shock, watching Mu You express her inner thoughts with incredible accuracy. Should she say that he is worthy of being a god?
"But this time it's different," Mu You looked at the goddess Mu Ying's wide-open eyes, with a hint of cunning in his eyes.
A gentle evening breeze seemed to be blowing all around, gently soothing the originally turbulent heart of the goddess Mu Ying, while at the same time, Mu You's gentle words rang in her ears.
"After all, I'm a god. I won't age. So, decades from now, when Ying has become a wrinkled old lady, I will still look the same as I do now..."
So don't worry, because even if we separate, you will always be one step ahead.
Again, Mu You doesn't know how to comfort girls. Asking girls to imagine what they'll look like with gray hair in a few decades is truly a heinous crime! It's just that Tiannv Muying hasn't spent enough time with Mu You, and she still wants to have a good conversation with him. If it were Kasugano Yuono, Shiina Mashiro, Yukinoshita Haruno and others, they would have pushed Mu You down long ago, then ridden on him and started physically "persuading" him.
But it was such a low EQ remark that successfully made Tiannv Muying laugh.
"How can you talk to a girl like that? She's got wrinkles all over her face..."
"It's Ying who's clearly worried about nothing. Don't underestimate the gods!"
"Is that so?"
The goddess Mu Ying looked at Mu You's youthful appearance and thought that she had become an old woman, but the other party still didn't seem to age. She suddenly found it very interesting, and at the same time she realized a problem.
"Are you asking me how old I am? Actually, I'm still very young, but to Ying, I might still be considered a senior."
Is that so? Tiannu Muying looked at Mu You up and down, and temporarily agreed with his statement.
"Did Yuu become a 'god' only recently?"
"I guess so. Why do you ask?"
The goddess Mu Ying talked about the issue of gods needing to go to school and do homework, which made Mu You feel a toothache and he quickly changed the subject.
"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. Ying, do you remember what I said before?"
Through dreams, Ying can meet her deceased grandfather again. This is also an ability that Mu You has recently acquired, but he has never used it before, so he doesn't know what it will do.
"Well," Tiannv Muying fell silent, "but... can I really see Grandpa?"
"No problem. Through dreams, we can enter one of Mr. Kasugano's past dreams, and you can meet in the dream."
Moreover, there is a high possibility that this was the old man's last dream before he passed away.
"But I don't know what to say to Grandpa!"
"Um, tell me a little bit about your recent situation."
"...Grandpa will be worried."
"..." Indeed, if Mr. Kasugano knew that Ying would be the only one supporting the shrine after his death, he would probably be very sad.
"Besides, I promised Grandpa that I would leave the shrine..."
Well, so there's a reason for not listening. Mu You rolled his eyes and said cunningly, "Ying, do you think Mr. Kasugano's spirit in heaven has seen everything clearly?"
"Ah!" The goddess Mu Ying was frightened by Mu You's words, then she quickly closed her eyes, clasped her hands together, and began to mutter, muttering words like "Grandpa, I'm sorry".
After the prayer, Ying glared at Mu You in anger, but finally sighed and rejected Mu You's proposal.
"You're right. If grandpa were really in heaven, he definitely wouldn't want to do this."
"..."
Mu You froze. "We're not sisters. I just said it casually. How could you really believe it?!"
"Although I'm a little stupid and there are many things I haven't figured out yet..." Tiannv Muying scratched her head a little embarrassedly, "I realized that people can't always be immersed in the past. It's really pitiful."
"..."
"You, I'm sorry, I can't accept your proposal. Although I really want to see grandpa, I'm really scared..."
She was very scared. If she really saw that figure, all her persistence and efforts over the years would come to nothing and she would turn back into that helpless little girl.
"…Sorry, Yu-kun, I'm not ready yet."
"It's okay, I know. I will keep it for you until you are ready." Mu You's tone changed again. He looked at the goddess Mu Ying, his eyes full of appreciation and relief.
As a person trapped by the past, Mu You could of course hear the hesitation and pain in the words of the goddess Mu Ying, but even so, she still rejected Mu You. How could this not move him?
The goddess Muying raised her head and saw the change in Mu You's eyes. She suddenly remembered that besides herself, You actually had someone he missed very much.
Yuu can help her see her deceased grandfather, but as a god, he himself cannot do the same, and even admits that he can hardly remember anything. The distance between him and the person he is meeting must be greater than death...
So what kind of pain is Yu going through?
"Yu..."
The celestial maiden Mu Ying whispered softly, stretched out her hand, and opened her arms to the boy in front of her.
