Section 893: In Aeternum
"But we still have many questions to get answers, such as the relationship between you and Marceau." Panny looked at the cat girl in front of him: "I don't believe in love at first sight. It's not just love that can attract each other between men and women."
"It was a story that seemed boring to outsiders, but I believe you all have a strong desire for knowledge, so let me tell you that the story varies from person to person. For example, for Marceau, it should be only a few short years; but for me, hundreds of years have passed... So, I have always cherished that period of time in my heart, in order to tell myself that I still have dreams that need to be pursued by wandering between time and space. A lonely ghost like me... is also something that someone once pampered and cared for."
"It seems that Marceau was very nice to you at the beginning." Akimi said with a frown.
"Actually, this is also related to you. My relationship with Marceau will start from the third year after the game calendar begins." Speaking of this, Yan noticed that Yang had something to say, so the cat girl signaled Yang to speak.
"Don't you join in half a year after the game started?" Yang asked.
"That was this time. Mo Qingyu found me, and I felt that meeting Marceau a while ago and later... was not much different. Of course, this is another thing. Now, let me continue talking." Yan finished speaking, and once again called out his memories: "Unlike this life, the Sword of the Sky had just gained a reputation in Ashby's noble circle and had the opportunity to build his own castle. Xu Xiaoshi became the chief of the group at that time and had the idea of forming an independent adventure group."
"And this time, Marceau killed the lord of the dog and won the favor of the city lord... History has changed from this place." Mingmei immediately thought of this, and then the girl found herself interrupting the cat girl's words, and quickly smiled embarrassedly: "Please continue."
"Sword and Rose were born at this time, but at this time, Mo Qingyu had already formed her own team, so the leader was another person. At that time, I was entrusted by someone to come to the Ashby area and joined Sword and Rose..."
"Who is it?" the girls present asked in unison.
"I don't want to mention this person's name, because there are clues about Marceau's father, and my cat is most afraid of the disaster and I can't do anything about it. Therefore, I will not say that name. Similarly, please do not force me." Yan shook his head and replied in a very serious tone: "I know there are clues about Marceau's father, but the Seles people have a proverb that diseases come from the mouth and disasters come from the mouth, so... you should understand."
"Can't you really say it?" Mingen looked at Yan: "Marceau once had a time and wanted to know who his father was."
"Some things, I don't know better. I can guarantee like you that if Marceau knew his life experience... it will actually have a very big negative impact for most of you."
"...Okay, since you've said this so seriously, please continue." The girls looked at each other, and Yu Akimi spoke and asked Homo to continue.
"Marceau at that time was not as powerful as you see now. He could only rub some lightning arrows at that time. Many of his abilities were far less than now, just like me, and at that time, they were far less than me who was here... So, in fact, there was not much relationship between me and him at the beginning, but he was responsible for covering me."
"So, will you fall in love over time?" Anne asked.
"Yes, but Marceau's heart is full of you. Speaking of which, thank you and Yang for withdrawing, and the way Mingmei and Mingen ignored Marceau's love, so I had my chance... Marceau and I re-recognized each other in the dance a few days ago. At that time, we were like two clumsy fools."
"I seem to be what you said. What you mean is... Marceau and you are actually the same kind of people?" Jiuye looked at Yan and looked at her in despair: "You said in your words that for Marceau, that story is only a few short years away..."
"...Ah, it's worthy of being Jiuye. Yes, the Marceau in your eyes is the Marceau I first met, familiar with, and fell in love with and lost for the first time." Speaking of this, Horizon turned his head and looked at Mingmei and Mingen: "This is why he is so powerful. He brought his peak state, just like I brought the strength that I had accumulated over hundreds of years, and returned to the future called 'past'."
"After saying this, there are many things that can be explained thoroughly, such as Marceau sometimes acts like a prophet." Mingen glanced at his sister: "Has our Marceau... been replaced like this?"
"They are both Marceau, but now you are facing him who is older and has stronger psychological qualities." Yan looked at Akimi and Mingen: "He is not the toy of you two girls, so don't use harsh speeches like 'Our Marceau'."
"But our Marceau was replaced!" Mingen pursed: "The Marceau, who was a little stupid with his legs, but he remembered to beat and eat, was gone! It was replaced by such a monster!"
"...But I think Marceau is better like this." Anne looked at Mingen and retorted.
"Because he is more beneficial to you, Annie, enough." Yang stretched out his hand and pulled Annie's arm.
"I don't care. For me, Marceau is Marceau. He remembers me, and I did not die in the asteroid belt. There is something more joyful than this reality." Jiuye shook his head and looked at Mingen and sighed: "Same thing, Marceau also remembers you, relying on you, even the dried fish, and even the dried fish you like the sweet dried fish you made the most... Is there anything else that is not satisfied? Do you have to remember the Marceau in your memory?"
"But can he really be called... Marceau?" Akimi looked at Yan: "You really just confirm that he must be Marceau?"
"The white dress he wore was the one in my memory, and even the position of the off-line was exactly the same... He even remembered the order of stepping between us clearly, and even I could only remember things..." Yan sighed, and she looked at Meimei and Mingen: "I know, for you, the Marceau in your memory was dead, but for me, the Marceau in my memory, the murdered Marceau, finally had the opportunity to be spared and started over again... Such an opportunity is different from me, and what a great opportunity it takes, I believe I don't need to say too much."
"And the reason for his death is that you said you like him and you will accompany him for the rest of your life... Do you know? He died just because of your promise. Now when I see him again, after the dance steps, he brought me to see you... In fact, it was to see you and Mingen." Yan sat upright, and she looked at them: "In his heart, I still remember your promise, even if you are now, you don't even give him a promise."
Mingen didn't say anything, but the tears at the corners of the girl's eyes were already rolling.
"I can feel that because of my stupid actions, the harm caused to him has never been calmed down. You are the most important people in his eyes. He feels guilty towards Jiuye because he can't save her; he feels guilty towards Anne and Yang because he can't keep them; he feels guilty towards me because I told him the stupid things I have committed..." Yan looked at Mingen and smiled: "He feels guilty towards you and your sister, because he can't keep the promise with you, so you are alone in the future called 'past'. I know Marceau's thoughts. If someone treats him well, he will definitely be better to that person, so you are the real lucky ones."
"...Thank you for telling us so much. My sister and I still need to consider it. Of course, there are more things that our sisters don't know today that can be revealed to the world, so... our sisters must make some adjustments. Yang, Anne, and Jiuye, Marceau will give it to you for a while. My sister and I... need to think about our future carefully."
After saying that, Mingmei stood up, and Mingen followed her sister away from the rooftop in silence.
Youjiu sighed, and she looked at Yan: "To put it, Panni and I have not appeared in Marceau's life in the past period of time, right?"
"That's right, you are too noble. For Marceau, your opponents are too strong. Even if you like Meimei and Meien, you need to pay the price of your life. If you fall in love with you... I can hardly imagine what kind of enemy he will face." Yan nodded, agreeing with the long-lasting guess.
She looked at Youqiu: "But there is a Seris proverb that says it well. The holy words come from the population and history come from the hands of people. You can think about your future life path and what you want to do."
"Youjiu and I are not the kind of girl who likes to dress ourselves up as superiors. Marceau's temper and personality are suitable for us. In this era, we don't seem to have many good choices. If that's the case, why not choose a cat who is good to us? As for the opponent... the person we like, there are no opponents, and there will be no opponents." Panny frowned: "Our father will clear the obstacles on our journey for us. He is not old enough to be unable to walk."
"But some things cannot be solved by father."
"So, if Mingmei and Mingen withdraw, Panni and I can replace their status. They are not the only girls who can make money in this world. There are tens of billions of square-eared and pointed-eared girls in this multiverse. They are just one of them, just like us. Nowadays, if you want to choose a boy who will be happy, it is like a dream for girls with square-eared and pointed-eared girls." Youjiu said while lifting her legs, she glanced at the empty positions: "I personally hope that they can withdraw, which may disappoint Marceau, but for Panni and me, this is a good thing. Good things are like good men, and the fewer people share, the better."
"This is why I like you, of course, it is also why I fear you." Yan sighed: "However, I still feel that it is difficult for you to get what you want. After all, they and Marceau... are truly admiring each other."
