Chapter 751: Fujihara Chika's Tears
Chapter 751: Fujihara Chika's Tears
Tian carefully recalled the body.
Small, soft, and seemingly clad in chainmail.
From this, it seemed like it really was Fujihara Chika!
Tian mused to himself, "Could it be that I accidentally hurt her when we collided in the spatial tunnel, causing her to cry so much?"
But on second thought, it didn't quite make sense.
Forces act in pairs, and if they had collided head-on, she shouldn't have felt much pain, so Fujihara Chika shouldn't have been in too much pain either. So why was she crying so hard?
...
Feeling Tian's gaze, Fujihara Chika gradually stopped crying.
With someone else watching, she felt less comfortable crying.
Fujihara Chika's distress stemmed from her experiences on the Wild Continent.
Before heading to Skrull, she thought she was prepared, ready to hone her combat skills on the Wild Continent and return to lead her people in their quest for vengeance.
But once she was on the Wild Continent, she realized things were not as she had imagined.
She was no match for the same-level magical beasts, being chased around by a rather ordinary, lizard-like sixth-stage beast.
Later, she discovered that even fifth-stage beasts were a challenge.
After a grueling five-hour battle with a peak fifth-stage, wild boar-like beast, her confidence was shattered.
Not only could she not handle same-level beasts, but even lower-level ones were a struggle. She began to doubt herself.
How could she lead her people to victory if she was so useless?
She suppressed these feelings, pushing herself to the brink, but upon returning to Earth and seeing Su Yu, she couldn't hold back the overwhelming emotions, collapsing into his arms and crying uncontrollably.
As for why she felt safe expressing her emotions with Su Yu, even she wasn't sure.
It wasn't until Tian woke up that Fujihara Chika gradually regained her composure.
...
Seeing Fujihara Chika stop crying, Su Yu, who was holding her, breathed a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, there were no outsiders around; otherwise, they might have thought he had done something to upset her.
"Prime Minister Fujihara, why are you crying? Did something go wrong on Skrull?" Su Yu asked softly, pulling out a tissue and handing it to her.
Fujihara Chika took the tissue and wiped the tears from her face, lowering her head and murmuring, "I'm sorry, both of you. I lost my composure. It's embarrassing, but I really messed up on Skrull..."
She knew that every detail of her trip to Skrull had to be reported, even as the prime minister.
So, she took this opportunity to recount her entire experience on Skrull.
If she had to be embarrassed, she'd rather it be in front of Su Yu.
...
As Fujihara Chika spoke, Su Yu listened calmly, without interrupting her story about being chased by magical beasts.
Tian, still feeling a bit dizzy, propped up her head and listened patiently.
Morning Star, the cat, was completely oblivious to the atmosphere.
Upon realizing there was a story to be heard, she quickly pulled out several large bags of snacks from her storage space, distributing them to everyone, including Fujihara Chika, before settling down to eat and listen.
...
It took Fujihara Chika about ten minutes to recount her entire journey.
At the end of her story, she asked with a dejected tone, "That's what happened on Skrul. Do you think I'm useless?"
Su Yu opened his mouth to speak, but Xiaotian beat him to it. "Of course not! Why would you think that?"
"..." Fujiwara Chika was taken aback.
Xiaotian propped herself up, looking directly at Fujiwara Chika. "You think you're useless because you can't beat monsters of the same level on the Wasteland Continent. But have you considered that other players might be in the same boat? They might not be able to defeat them either."
"Other players?" Fujiwara Chika was stunned again.
"Exactly," Xiaotian said earnestly. "Take me, for example. I can't beat monsters of the same level either. I only won because of the special item Su Yu gave me.
"Players like us, who have forcibly enhanced ourselves using materials, are naturally weaker than monsters who have steadily trained. There's no shame in that."
"You're right," Fujiwara Chika agreed, her mood visibly lifting. "Su Yu, what do you think?"
Su Yu nodded in agreement. "Xiaotian is correct. Don't jump to conclusions so quickly. The eleven players who went to Skrul with you might all have had the same problem. It's not just you."
Fujiwara Chika's expression brightened. "You're right. I was too hasty."
"It's okay," Su Yu said, patting her shoulder with a kind smile. "Young people make mistakes. The important thing is to resolve your doubts."
"What are you doing?" Xiaotian rolled her eyes. "Aren't you a young person too? You entered the game in the same batch as us."
"True," Su Yu chuckled awkwardly.
...
Regardless, Fujiwara Chika's doubts were finally resolved. They chatted for a while longer, and then Xue Wenli arrived in the basement.
Su Yu asked Xue Wenli to take Fujiwara Chika to her lodging in the capital to rest. Fujiwara Chika was exhausted and knew she needed to rest, so she didn't refuse and left with Xue Wenli.
As she walked away, her eyes regained their determination. She had finally realized that, whether she was useful or not, she had to stand at the forefront and avenge the ten million people who had died.
No matter what, she had to be strong!
...
After Xue Wenli and Fujiwara Chika left, the basement was left with only Su Yu and Xiaotian. Of course, there was also the cat Chenxing, who had been silently observing the entire time without a word.
Su Yu walked over and helped Xiaotian up. "I think you need to rest too. Should I take you home?"
"Sure... wait!" Xiaotian hesitated, remembering the pale blue crystal she had obtained in the Treasure Map Secret Realm.
She needed to ask Donna about its specific use. Since Donna was awake, why not ask now?
"What's wrong?" Su Yu asked.
"Um, Sky, is the Game Inspector Donna awake?"
Donna spent at least 16 hours a day sleeping, so who knew if she was awake now.
"You mean Donna... yes, she's awake. What's up?" Su Yu inquired.
