Chapter 746

At the same time, on the other side——

"Can't sleep, can't concentrate. It's such a shame." Anna.

"After all, a lot of things happened before." Guda.

"You're right, a lot of things happened." Anna.

When people's attention turned back to the two of them, everyone saw Anna's slightly frowning face, which just broke out into a cute smile.

——That is a smile from the heart.

A smile as pure and beautiful as a flower bloomed in front of people's eyes, firmly attracting their attention in an instant.

‘Speaking of which, Anna has changed a lot recently! ’ Everyone looked at this touching smile and thought a little absentmindedly.

Then they heard Anna thank Guda——

From the first encounter until now, Guda has never asked her anything.

Anna: "It's very suspicious that you put your trust in such a suspicious servant (me) without saying a word."

Although she said this, Anna always had a smile on her little face,

...People could see that she was in a good mood.

Guda didn't answer anything, but asked instead: "Are you happy in Uruk?

"This..." Anna blushed.

People looked at this heartwarming scene and couldn't help but smile.

Anna looks like she has gained a lot of good memories in Uruk!

From the beginning, she was repelling and resisting human beings, but now she can finally see her open her heart and smile.

Unconsciously, they also witnessed a lot,

Now Anna has lost her cold appearance at first, which is great~!

It would be even better if tomorrow's battle could go smoothly. When people think of this——

However--

The plot of the epic takes a turn.

Anna: “…No, there’s nothing to be happy about.

I already hate humans.

...Human beings are very intelligent creatures. Unlike animals, which are obsessed with one method, they are constantly seeking numerous ‘possibilities’.

You are 'creatures who choose a better existence'.

Therefore, human cities are naturally full of changes. "

A worried expression appeared on Anna's face: "But... what to do when new things appear, those things that are no longer 'better'.

It would be better just to be forgotten.

Even if it is not used, it is not bad as an 'ordinary existence'.

However, humans will reject them as 'bad things'.

Just because if these things are left behind,

It will not bring benefits to ‘new things’. "

Such a seemingly pointed statement made people feel slightly dazed and dazed.

Anna... hates humans?

But——(Everyone stopped talking)

Then they heard from Anna’s mouth the story about her and the old lady at the flower shop.

In a home without sunlight, I have been guarding those withered flowers.

At first she only helped the elderly because of her job.

However, the old man was so happy and said many things to her.

Even though his eyes were no longer visible, he was still so calm.

Even if I feel lonely, I never mention it.

The old man treated her as his granddaughter.

Ask her to eat butter cake together.

“What else can I say, it’s so delicious.

...She obviously can no longer distinguish the taste. "Anna had a worried expression on her little face and looked very sad.

At this moment, people thought of many things...

There was a scene where Guda and others were assigned to work when they first arrived in Uruk.

There is also a picture of Anna eating butter cake at the first banquet, as happy and happy as a child.

“It must be because it’s really delicious.

This one is for you. "Guda showed a knowing smile, and then tenderly handed out a garland.

'wreath? ! ' The little princess said in surprise.

Then a scene of Guda's memories flashed before her eyes, but she was stunned.

That was the scene of the old lady at the flower shop handing Guda the garland she had knitted by herself.

There was a faint but long-lasting ripple in the little princess's heart.

Chapter 996 Until the end, witness the [dream] of the last human being!

More than just memories of Guda,

Later there were also memories of Anna and the old woman.

People saw that the old man had his soul taken away by the underworld because of his weakness.

Anna has also been accompanying the old man with a worried figure.

Everyone watched this scene in silence,

'She keeps saying she hates humans, but she cares so much about an old man who should be indifferent to her. Just because of the tenderness that lasted less than ten days or half a month? ’

The little princess gently covered her heart, not knowing what that warm feeling was——

But, not annoying.

But there was a slight confusion in the little princess's eyes.

She grew up in the best environment and was loved by all kinds of people. She did not lack love.

but--

Why am I so envious of the seemingly plain but extremely touching relationship between Anna-chan and the old man at this time?

That kind of mutual understanding, caring for each other, and ultimately the warmth of being infected from heart to heart.

The purest feeling——

In those pictures, people saw not only Anna's changes, but also the originally lonely old man, with more and more smiles on his face in Anna's company.

When no one else understood the old man, including the old man’s children, it was Anna who helped her take care of the dying flowers.

Two hearts that would not have known each other met in this special era.

Anna: “Is the flower decoration… for me?”

Anna showed a surprised expression for the first time: “This is—from that flower shop…

Did the old lady give it to me?”

“She said it must be very suitable for you.

You will definitely become the most beautiful girl in the city in the future.” Guda

However, Anna, who wanted to take it, retreated again, with a distressing expression on her face: "... This is impossible.

Because I don't plan to grow up like this..."

Anna blushed and said: "... I hate humans. But it's still warm.

The city of Uruk was my dream.

I want to be treated gently by humans. I want to treat people gently.

I always want to do this.

In the past, I thought how good it would be if it were like this.

This is me as an adult... me after growing up...

A dream that I can no longer recall."

"Thank you for bringing the flower ornament, but I can't accept it...

Master, take it. I am not qualified to wear it.

...Because the grandson of that old woman...

was killed by a monster on the north wall."

People looked at Anna in shock, and when Anna said this, a line of tears slid down her cheeks.

At this moment, people finally couldn't deceive themselves.

They had guessed Anna's true identity.

Ah. Connecting the story in the myth, thinking about what Anna said just now,

'--Being treated gently by others, being gentle to others? ’

Is that her dream, a dream she could never recall after growing up?

Gorgon——!

The goddess of vengeance Gorgon had such an innocent and kind side when she was young,

which gave people a completely different feeling from the huge snake god that people saw.

A deep sadness rose in people's hearts——

Ah, ah~!

Some people looked forward absentmindedly.

At this time, it was inevitable to think that if the humans in the myth could try to understand each other, instead of attacking the three Gorgon sisters as monsters...

Then would the ending be different?

People who call themselves heroes are actually doing the work of demons and executioners, tearing the gentle hearts of people who should have been happy into pieces.

Anna put on her hood again, as if to say goodbye to the self who opened her heart,

"... Set out at dawn to attack Gorgon.

That's why I'm here."

When people heard her speak so firmly, their hearts ached.

She should have gotten what she wanted in this era...

That was the sincerity she exchanged for with her sincerity,

but it was all destroyed by herself when she grew up.

Did Gorgon's evil deeds make her too embarrassed to continue to accept the care and tenderness of others?

At this time, people couldn't help but think of how beautiful Anna would be if she took off her cloak and put on the flower decoration again.

Anna: "...But. Through this journey, the reason why I want to do this has changed.

I used to fight for myself -

Now, I also fight for the people of Uruk.
