"How could I be lonely when there are so many of them accompanying me?" Esdeath ate rabbit meat, thinking about such a lonely life accompanied by wind and snow, she actually laughed.

Do you really like her that much?

"Hey, I feel like I'm a heartless scumbag. What's going on with this inexplicable feeling of guilt?"

Looking at Esdeath who had fallen asleep after eating the barbecue, she was so weak that she fell into a deep sleep unprepared.

Maybe you can try to accept her yourself?

And give her a chance to atone for her past actions?

But how should I come to her?

Brain pain.

The short night passed like this, and when the first ray of sunlight shone on Zhang Mo's face, it meant that a new day had begun.

Naturally, Zhang Mo didn't really stay up all night. Why should he do such a laborious thing when he could easily set up a barrier.

"It seems that you are recovering well. Your complexion is obviously much better today."

Esdeath woke up before she did, and she just sat leaning against the tree, but her eyes were staring straight at herself, never moving away for a moment.

"Why are you looking at me like that? If you have any requests, just ask. It's almost time for me to leave."

"Leave?"

When he heard that he was about to leave, Esdeath suddenly showed a very reluctant look, which made Zhang Mo confused.

"After all, I am a ranger. I am at home all over the world. I will not stay in one place for too long."

"Then...can you roast rabbit for me again?" Esdeath asked softly.

His tone and expression made him fear that he would refuse.

Seeing Esdeath's abnormal attitude before and after, Zhang Mo thought he had exposed something.

But then I thought about the existence of the transformation capsule produced by the system. Changing the appearance is simply a piece of cake, and there is no possibility of flaws.

"Okay, I'll catch it for you. It just so happens that I haven't had breakfast either."

Zhang Mo nodded in agreement and turned around and left. It was just a small request for barbecue.

In less than a moment, Zhang Mo caught a rabbit and came back.

Under Esdeath's affectionate gaze, a confused Zhang Mo came to the creek to kill the rabbit.

"There's something wrong with her eyes!" Zhang Mo thought to himself as he killed the rabbit.

The look in his eyes is exactly like a husband cooking for his wife, while the wife is looking forward to it happily.

Why does she have such an expression?

"Did I really get exposed? It's impossible. There's no reason at all! My performance was so flawless that I could win an Oscar. So what went wrong?"

Zhang Mo, who began to doubt himself, had already killed the rabbit and was about to wash his hands clean when his eyes stayed on the water.

To be more precise, it is the reflection on the water.

"This, this, this..." Zhang Mo said in shock.

So much so that the rabbit in his hand fell into the water, causing Esdeath to look sideways.

It turned out that Zhang Mo clearly saw his own appearance in the reflection on the water.

But the key is, shouldn’t the look in the water look like a ranger?

"System!! Explain!!"

"The transformation capsule lasts for 12 hours. After expiration, the host will return to its original appearance!"

"You... why didn't you tell me earlier? Ah?? Why didn't you tell me earlier..."

12 hours, which means that the time when you release the transformation happens to be when you fall asleep?

"All products in this system have detailed descriptions. Please check the specific effects yourself."

"..."

Well, this is no longer a question of whether it has been exposed, but a question of whether it has been exposed.

Fortunately, I had just pretended to be a real ranger and was preparing to leave. After a long time, I had already been exposed in front of Esdeath.

So that's why she looked at her like that?

What a shame!!

How should I face her next?

"Not okay yet? I'm hungry."

A sweet voice suddenly came from behind, startling Zhang Mo who was still thinking of a countermeasure.

"Oh...it's been cleaned up..."

Zhang Mo bit the bullet and started to make a fire to cook. Zhang Mo didn't dare to speak the whole time, let alone look at her, which made Esdeath's eyes look extremely resentful.

"How long are you going to keep pretending? You've already come back to me."

"I..." Zhang Mo was so confused that he didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"So, you still care about me, right?" Coming to Zhang Mo, Esdeath slowly sat down next to Zhang Mo and said.

Her pale cheeks turned blushing, and her face was filled with visible happiness and joy.

Her head rested gently on Zhang Mo's shoulder, and a pair of small hands unconsciously grabbed his arm.

She slowly closed her eyes, and then opened them immediately. When she realized that this was not a dream, the corners of her eyes suddenly became moist.

"I...I just happened to be passing by and came to see you."

"Mo, can you take me away?"

Drops of tears fell from the corners of Esdeath's eyes like broken pearls. The once feared female general now acted like a child who had done something wrong in front of Zhang Mo.

Show your weak and unbearable side in front of him.

"I was wrong, please take me away, please? I don't want to lose you. I am willing to spend the rest of my life to atone for the sins of those innocent people who died in my hands.

I will agree to anything you say unconditionally, please don’t leave me, okay?"

"..."

I don't know how long it took, but Esdeath didn't even wait for an answer until she fell asleep from crying.

Taking out the devil's essence from the system warehouse, Zhang Mo returned the power that belonged to her to her.

"I still need time. I will come here to find you in a month and a half and give you an answer."

Leaving these words behind, Zhang Mo teleported and appeared a thousand meters in the air, spread the wings of the Phantom of the Supreme Light, and flew towards the imperial capital.

In the woods, Esdeath woke up leisurely. She picked up the rabbit meat roasted by Zhang Mo and felt like a treasure. She opened her teeth and murmured: "I will always wait for you here, one year, ten years, until

Come back to me."

——————

The imperial capital, the residence of ministers.

"Hey, I didn't expect that woman would betray the empire and take the hunter with her. Because of this betrayal, the strength of the empire has dropped by a whole level. It really makes me sad." The minister picked up a piece of fat and started to chew it.

As he ate, although he spoke of sadness, his expression remained unmoved.

"It seems like it's just the right time for me to come back. I've traveled around the world for so many years, but I've recovered a lot of lost Teigu, which just makes up for the vacancies." Silla put her feet on the table without giving him anything.
