I had gone back to the residence to rest after enjoying myself, letting the others keep going since they wanted to keep going.
When I woke up, it was still the middle of the night and the entire village was silent.
However, I stood up after waking up and got dressed before heading out of the residence.
Since most people were dead drunk, it was easy for me to make my way to the edge of the village.
Even if people were drunk and in a festive mood, that didn’t mean that they had let their guards down. There were still guards that patrolled the edge of the village and it was a group of them that I encountered.
When they saw me, they jumped down from the tree to greet me before questioning me on what I was doing here.
“I couldn’t sleep, so I wanted to take a walk in the forest to clear my head.”
The guards raised their brows to look at me, but after I flashed the Mark of Life on my forehead, those expressions relaxed.
After a pause, they nodded and said, “Don’t stay out there for too long. The forest is still filled with dangerous beasts, so it isn’t safe to stay out there in the middle of the night.”
I gave a nod and thanked them for their warning before heading into the forest.
The way that I walked into the forest, it was clear that I already knew exactly where I was going.𝒏𝑂𝗏𝑒𝗅𝑛𝔢xt.𝔠𝒪𝓜
It didn’t take me long to reach a clearing in the forest and in this clearing, there was a small lake that was in the center. This was similar to the clearing that we had reached when we had first come to this forest.
But this time, there was a figure that was waiting for me by the lake in this clearing.
It was a beautiful figure with striking green hair and became even more eye catching under the bright moonlight.
When I came into the clearing, that figure turned to look in my direction.
There was a trace of surprise in her eyes, as if she didn’t expect me to actually come, but then she revealed her smile and waved her hand for me to come over. When I walked over, she patted the ground beside her for me to sit down as well.
So the two of us just sat there in front of the lake with neither side saying a thing.
In the end, it was Moon who broke the silence by saying, “You got my note.”
I gave a silent nod in response to this.
As for how I knew to come here, I had found that there was a note in my pocket this afternoon.
This was a note that had a message and a map on it, showing me how to get to this clearing.
While I didn’t know where this note had come from, I could guess who it was from. That was why I had come here in the first place.
I was curious why she had called me here in the middle of the night.
After another silence, Moon suddenly asked, “Do you know anything about where Aisha is right now?”
I was surprised since I clearly didn’t expect this to be the first thing that she asked me.
But in the end, all I could do was shake my head.
After all, I indeed didn’t have a single idea where Aisha was right now.
I knew where she would be in the future, but I had never encountered her in this moment of the game’s timeline.
Seeing this, Moon couldn’t help revealing a very disappointed look.
I couldn’t help feeling strange when I saw this look on her face, so I couldn’t help asking, “Did you know Aisha?”
Moon looked at me with those disappointed and sad eyes, almost as if there was something that she was struggling to say. But in the end, she still said, “She is my mother.”
“Huh?”
That was all that I could say in response to that.
I never expected this kind of bombshell to drop.
But it made sense since Moon had always had a strange obsession towards Aisha. Whenever I had mentioned her, Moon had always looked at me with that strange look…
Seeing this look on my face, Moon gave a sigh and said, “She left me here when I was young because she didn’t want to be weighed down by me as she travelled the world. The green haired elder is my grandmother, Aisha’s mother, so that’s why she left me here.”
The look of shock on my face became greater and greater when I heard this.
It seemed that no matter how hard I tried, I wouldn’t be able to escape the retribution that would come eventually.
I had used the remnants from the game related to Aisha on her family, so there was no doubt that I would be fated to meet her one day.
When that happened…it was hard to predict what would happen…
So I just threw all of these thoughts out of my mind since there was nothing that I could do about it now. Even if I wanted to change these things, it was impossible to change the past…
So the only thing that I could do was look to the future.
I shook my head and said, “I’m sorry, I don’t know anything.”
Moon gave a disappointed sigh before saying, “It’s ok, that’s just how she is.”
The two of us just sat there in silence for a while.
I was feeling too awkward to even say anything and Moon was clearly depressed from not getting the information that she wanted.
But all of that changed when Moon suddenly took a deep breath and calmed her expression.
With that calm look on her face, she turned to look at me.
However, I could see that there was a strange look in her eyes as she said, “But you are different.”
