Chapter 571.2
From what Shii told me, she said that when she entered the area in the back alley, they were suddenly transferred into a different space, and when they continued exploring, they reached a place that looked like a garden, where she had a conversation with a skeleton beast named [Mukuro] and enjoyed their time.
As far as I could tell, the skeleton beast had definitely lived throughout the ages... No, I think it would be fair to say that it was simply “existing”.
Since it was an individual who had continued to exist since the age of the gods, there was a high probability that he would be an acquaintance of the Spirit King. It was tasked to protect the divine sword in this place.
What in the world should I start with? Everything was just so incomprehensible that I couldn’t help but wonder.
...One thing was for sure, Shii solved everything by herself without depending on us.
This was the first time that I decided to go on a trip to give our kids a chance to experience various things.
I didn’t expect something like this to happen and was also amazed at what Sakuya’s destiny could bring...
I couldn’t say anything and could only laugh, but Shii looked a little worried and anxious.
“...Are you sure he’s dead already?” (Yuki)
“Shii, did Mukuro uncle cry at the end when you two parted? Was he sad or was he happy?” (Yuki)
“He was... He was laughing. He said [Thank you].” (Shii)
“Then... That’s all that matters, right? I don’t know what kind of life Mukuro uncle has led. I don’t know how he felt, and I don’t know if he was alone all his life. Maybe he felt pain, perhaps he felt lonely all this time. But... If he could laugh at the end, I would consider it a good life. You can see that as well, right?”
Shii looked up at me with an expression that seemed to suggest... she was taking her time to chew over my words...
To be honest, this girl did not think too deeply about things. Her transient and optimistic nature was both good and bad.
But now, she was able to think about important things on her own.
It was times like this when I could really feel these girls growing up.
