Chapter 374 "I love you, Huiyuan" Girls can't say that to each other!
"Hehe, my sister found me again~ But she still got the wrong one! As punishment, it'll take you the time it takes to tell a story~ (＾◇^)/"
Looking at the lively young Marta, or as she is called by another name, Anne, I nodded with delight.
Then she began to recount:
"On Earth, there is such a shining star... She is a born warrior, a born gentleman, and a born proud woman. If you meet her, she will answer without being asked and proudly announce her name: [Anne Katzlein]."
She recounted how her loved ones died tragically, how she met a group of like-minded companions, and how they embarked on a path of revenge together...
Our journey begins in a small yet unique island nation and ends in the ancient land of Egypt, the land of pyramids...
The story is full of twists and turns, involving several life-or-death situations and numerous crises in friendships...
In the end, Anne Katzline completed her final revenge, sacrificing three comrades and losing both of her legs.
Later... when someone asked her name again, she no longer arrogantly uttered "Anne Katzlein," but instead cautiously replied with a nonchalant, "My name doesn't matter at all, because I'm a useless cripple who can't fight anymore."
After hearing the story, Anne transformed into a wisp of wind and disappeared without a trace...
Annie's choice of words when telling stories makes it clear that she is no ordinary person.
Words like "Earth" and "island nation" could not possibly come from the mouth of a girl from a small town in Teyvat, especially since... she comes from 300 years ago.
Moreover, these stories are as if she really experienced them herself, with every detail handled vividly.
Furthermore, in Huiyuan's memory, these stories all have prototypes... For example, the story just now is based on the famous manga "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure".
"System, is all of this part of your plan?"
Right after Huiyuan asked the question, an unexpected answer came out.
“No, this is an unplanned variable. I was also wondering why young Marta would have these things in her mind... We've already ruled them out; she wasn't affected by the host's memories.”
"This is strange... Unexpected by the system? That's a completely unfamiliar phrase. Never mind, System Sister, be careful. Let me hear her other stories first."
With heightened vigilance, Huiyuan began searching for the next Annie.
She sat on the chimney, wiped the soot from her face, and told me with her back to me:
"In a small mountain town, there lives a girl named Annie, an ordinary young woman... She yearns for the glamour of the big city, the outdated fashion of city dwellers, and an ordinary man. Unlike other couples who fall in love at first sight, this love stems from a mutual desire to grow together..."
Unlike the previous two stories, this one lacks dramatic twists and turns, and doesn't feature any intense, wild battles... it's just pure ordinariness.
An ordinary girl, an ordinary boy, but an extraordinary story that countless people envy...
A smile as pink as cherry blossoms, and the boy's shy, budding feelings...
"I like you!"
Looking at the rosy-cheeked boy in front of her, Annie replied with a charmingly coquettish expression:
"Oh? We've known each other for so long, and you're only now realizing you want to confess? I like you too!"
A country girl, a city boy, a love story of two inseparable lovers... a simple emotion that could be glossed over...
"But in the end, they didn't end up together... Changes in the world forced their love to be separated by tens of thousands of light-years. Even in the next life, the girl still loved the boy... She could never let go of him in her heart."
As she spoke, a tear rolled down Anne's cheek, but before it could fall to the ground, it turned into the wind and disappeared into nature.
Afterward, Huiyuan listened to one story after another, some ordinary, some grand.
Finally, on a windmill, a real Anne... or rather, an Anne formed from countless stories, appeared.
She sat on the fence with her hands on either side, silently watching the birds fly, a hint of curiosity flashing in her eyes.
"Sister Huiyuan, tell me... if you met someone who looked a lot like your lover, would you fall in love with her instead?"
I stared at her with a puzzled look, without answering the question immediately.
After much deliberation, I asked myself this question:
"Miss Annie, are you a time traveler?"
"Oh dear? You're only just realizing it now... Hmm? She really does look a lot like him~"
"What looks similar? You mean...?"
The girl turned around and looked at him, her gaze quite intriguing...
Is this a joke? Or flirting? Or perhaps, a recollection of something?
She didn't explain; she just waved her hand after looking me over.
"Oh well, you're a girl anyway... How could it be between girls? But... I still really want to say those words—'I love you, Huiyuan.' Huh~ Why are you blushing? You really do look like him! Even though you're a girl..."
"What...what exactly is your purpose?! Don't try to sway me with these seductive words!"
"Oh, hehe~ So cute~ I'm just kidding... Let me explain. I'm a transmigrator, and I also have a system... It's just that the system has retired now, and I've had enough of living. Don't get me wrong, I'm Annie, the childhood memory of Marta that you know."
"What do you mean?"
"It means that during the time Martha was frozen and hibernating, she awakened the system, and her consciousness traveled to other worlds and experienced various adventures. I am the Martha who awakened the system."
"Ah...you mean, the catgirl I casually saved is a transmigrator?"
“That’s right! Because I traveled through consciousness, my body was still alive. During my time in other worlds, this body thawed and a new self was created... which is your sister Marta.”
"Then why...why did you come back to this body? Wouldn't it have been better to live a carefree life in other worlds?"
"Didn't I tell you? My system retired, and I've had enough of living... Besides, I still have a little bit of affection for Teyvat, you know! I just didn't expect to come back and find myself thawed, and even recognize you as my brother~ Brother~"
For some reason, Annie suddenly emphasized the word "brother," sending chills down one's spine.
"Shy again? Hahaha... So cute! Hehe, having you as my brother from now on doesn't seem like a bad thing. Let's talk about serious matters, about merging my soul with the current Martha..."
