My cousin is becoming a legend.

Chapter 55 My Answer

Violet turned away, her body trembling slightly.

Lynn rubbed her hair in frustration.

In a fit of anger, he blurted out what was on his mind.

That really shouldn't have happened...

He took out almost everything of value from his storage ring.

"Violet... I didn't mean to blame you."

I appreciate the importance you and the organization place on me. But this matter really doesn't need your concern; I have my own way of handling it.

These are all my belongings on the ground. I hope you can take my uncle and aunt to the capital so they can settle down there.

As for me, haha, you really don't need to worry about me. For the sake of the family's future, that beast Nareel values ​​me highly; he would never kill me.

As you've seen, I was able to escape the first time, so I can escape the second time, and I believe it won't take long.

So you see... Miss Violet, I..."

Lynn wanted to continue, but Violet interrupted him.

"This divine spell can only be cast by priests of the third rank or higher. Priests of that rank can make you lose your memory. What are you going to do then?"

Lynn was speechless for a moment.

"An alchemist can concoct potions even without legs. What would you do if Nareel cut off your legs?"

"..."

"Let me ask you again, what would you do if your sister got pregnant and had difficulty walking?"

"What would you do if your mind was so tormented that you couldn't even tell which way was which?"

"What will you do if he forces you to marry and have children, and then uses your wife and children to blackmail you?"

"Lynn, can you answer these questions for me? If not, then please... just think of yourself now."

"..."

Lynn remained silent for a moment.

"Violet, I really can't answer your questions. What you're saying is indeed all possible."

"But even so... I'll still go."

Violet turned around abruptly upon hearing this, her eyes slightly reddening.

Her face was full of confusion.

"Why? If you can't answer these questions, why go and die? If this is the only illogical answer you can give, then I will never let you leave!"

Lynn smiled softly.

He said slowly:

"Violet, what I'm about to say might sound like childish bragging, but it's really what I'm thinking."

As for me, I've never really been attached to this world.

But that doesn't mean I want to give up on my life.

Rather, it means that I've always felt somewhat alienated from this world.

This might be hard for you to understand, but that's just who I am.

I am grateful to my parents for bringing me into this world.

They gave me life, which has a different meaning for me.

I am very attached to them; I used to consider them the reason I liked this world.

But then they died.

I don't know how to face this world for a moment.

So I chose to abandon everything and want to become stronger.

Everyone thinks highly of themselves when they are young.

For me, I have exceptionally strong reasons to believe in myself.

Like all impulsive young people, I chose to venture out and explore.

This adventure lasted for ten years.

Over the past decade, I have faced countless life-or-death situations, but I have never been afraid.

Because I always believed that I would survive and that I would become a hero in the future.

In the end, these ten years ended with me running back to my hometown, feeling utterly dejected.

He has accomplished nothing and owns nothing.

Ten years of failure made me suddenly realize that I wasn't the so-called protagonist.

I once thought about using death to be reborn.

But I'm scared.

I dare not die.

Because I know I'm just an insignificant nobody.

Perhaps I was just lucky that time that I was given a second chance at life.

I'm just an ordinary person, and I don't want to take any more risks.

I just want to live an ordinary life, to be an ordinary but content person.

So I shamelessly went back to my uncle's place.

How embarrassing!

I abandoned them back then, treating them as worthless things and forgetting about them.

And now I'm asking them to forgive me and accept me back.

This is so embarrassing, but what can I do?

So I sheepishly slipped back to the village.

The villagers ridiculed me mercilessly, but I felt nothing for their words.

I had expected this.

But... there was one thing I hadn't anticipated.

That was the moment I pushed open the door to my home.

Whether it's an uncle or an aunt.

They didn't show me the slightest bit of disgust.

They... were actually very happy.

I suddenly realized that they had always considered me family...

They have never forgotten me, and they have never given up on me.

It turns out that in this world, there are still people I care about.

I was absolutely ecstatic.

It feels so good to be cared for unconditionally.

I made up my mind then and there that I would spend the rest of my life making them happy.

I'll do even the jobs I used to look down on the most.

As long as I can make money, as long as I can repay them and make them happy, I'm willing to do anything.

That's what I was thinking.

But Tina suddenly came over and told me that she was going to marry someone she didn't like.

She looked at me expectantly, wanting to ask for help from her completely unreliable brother.

But I am powerless to do anything about it...

I think that was the first time I felt so desperate.

I suddenly realized that in this world, no matter how hard a nobody like me tries, I have absolutely no control over my own destiny.

Even wanting to be a happy, ordinary person is impossible...

At that moment, my heart truly died.

The harsh reality crushed the last glimmer of hope in my heart that I could become a hero.

But then, ironically, a miracle suddenly occurred.

Just when I had completely given up, a miracle happened.

I finally became a superhuman.

I wonder... should I have cried my eyes out then, or should I have laughed my head off?

No, I've forgotten some of it.

At the time, all I was thinking was that from now on, no one could hurt my family.

I will do everything in my power to become the strongest person.

It's no longer for prestige, nor for profit...

But then I suddenly discovered something.

People always live for some reason.

For me, the reason is my family.

I will not let anyone hurt my family.

I live for this very spirit.

So Violet.

I'm not afraid of any of the cruel things you mentioned.

Whether they happen or luckily they don't, I will go back without hesitation.

Because if I abandon my family at this time, it would be no different from being dead.

People always have some reason to live.

People are always willing to give up their lives for those reasons.

And that is my answer.

Lynn spoke her mind.

He felt very relaxed.

Since he came into this world, he had never spoken so frankly to a stranger.

However, there was nothing that could be done about it.

After all, Violet is better than him.

If she insists on keeping him here, there's nothing he can do.

Lynn secretly observed Violet's reaction.

She just kept her head down and didn't react.

It seems to be tacit approval.

Lynn breathed a sigh of relief.

He checked every corner of the storage ring, afraid of missing even a single copper coin.

Finally, nothing was left behind.

Lynn patted Violet on the shoulder and smiled.

"Don't worry, don't be so pessimistic. I'll be back soon. Take good care of your uncle and aunt while I'm at it. Goodbye."

Lynn brushed past her.

Just before he was about to leave, Violet grabbed the hem of his clothes.

"Wait, I'll go with you."

Lynn was taken aback.

"Violet, your father is not..."

Violet pressed her index finger against Lynn's lips.

"I'm a selfish woman. Isn't that what you just said to me, you bastard?"

So I figured that since you've seen through my true nature, there's no need to keep pretending.

After all, it's not surprising that a fool like me would do anything for my own selfish gain, is it?

She tilted her head and smiled.
