Chapter 560 A Broken Mirror Cannot Be Reunited
BGM: Yamaka – Yasuharu Takanashi

------

The more you care about someone, the more deeply they can hurt you.

As night completely enveloped the sky.

Cynthia sat alone on the bed, hugging her knees, staring blankly at the full moon outside the window.

Even when Ibizarre walked up to her and gently licked her with his tongue, he didn't respond.

But in the cold Tianguan Mountain.

There was another figure, under the moonlight, searching aimlessly for the blown-away bow, as if looking for a needle in a haystack.

On the grass in front of my house.

N, who chose to stay at home and temporarily separate from her companions, told both mothers everything she had heard that night.

The mothers exchanged glances, smiled slightly, but didn't seem to care much.

N was patted on the head by his mother and then rushed back to the Carlos region.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

The sun rose on the other side of Tianguan Mountain, and its warm and gentle sunlight shone on a mountain path.

With Chen Guang's help, Wu Ge also found the bow that had been blown away by the wind.

This is just an ordinary bow.

It doesn't make any sense.

But Wu Ge still managed to find it.

but.

The bow can be found.

Can a broken relationship be easily repaired?
Wu Ge took out the photo titled 'Cynthia's Heart' from the panel.

on the photo.

A clear rift appeared between the dog and the golden retriever.

"Ow~"

Wolf howls echoed from the foot of Tianguan Mountain.

Wu Ge knew that it was his wolf mother calling him home.

He put the photos away and hurried home.

Doorstep.

Wu Ge saw Wolf Mom lying on the grass by the door waiting for him.

He composed himself and stepped forward.

The wolf mother stood up, licked the dog's head twice, and then went into the house with him.

Watching Wu Ge stand at the entrance of Cynthia.

The wolf mother nudged his back with her head and gave him an encouraging look.

Wu Ge pursed his lips and gently shook his head.

He placed the gift box and ribbon he was holding on the ground, turned around and left, disappearing into Xunlan's bedroom.

Wolf Mom watched Dog Baby's departing figure and sighed helplessly.

Click.

The door in front of them was opened.

Cynthia, her eyes vacant, stared at the gift box and ribbon on the ground and pouted.

She crouched down and picked up the two items from the ground.

The bow was casually placed on the shoe cabinet next to it.

Cynthia opened the gift box herself, took out the soggy and chilled donuts inside, took a bite, and tears started falling onto the floor again.

This kind of thing.

If you can't eat it with Lucario.

It won't taste good no matter how sweet it is.

The wolf mother's already droopy ears became even more flat.

She went into Cynthia's room, pulled her golden retriever daughter onto the bed, and held her in her arms for a long time to warm her up.

Cynthia smelled the same scent on her mother as Lucario, and then closed her eyes and fell asleep peacefully, a little sugar crumb still clinging to the corner of her mouth.

Inside the house on the other side.

Xunlan was awakened by the undulating blankets.

But when she felt the furry touch on her stomach, she felt relieved.

I gently pulled back the blanket to take a look.

A large dog curled up in a ball nestled close to her side.

Even the most majestic general.

She also shows her vulnerable side in front of her mother.

Xunlan's eyes softened, and she gently placed her hand on Wu Ge's body, whispering softly:

"Like a little baby."

"."

Wu Ge curled up his ears and didn't say anything.

"I used to sleep with Cynthia like this when I was little."

Xunlan smiled slightly and opened her mouth to hum an unknown lullaby.

I heard a voice as gentle as Cynthia's.

Wu Ge's consciousness gradually sank.

The next morning.

When Wu Ge woke up, it was already noon. Xunlan was gone, replaced by Wolf Mom.

I'm grooming him.

She wouldn't let the dog lick her when it was little, so she would lick it when it was asleep.

"."

Wu Ge's eyelids drooped.

Don't want to wake up.

He couldn't face Cynthia.

Wolf Mom seemed to have figured out what Goubao was thinking, and poked Wu Ge twice with her muzzle.

Wu Ge's eyes dimmed, and he got up weakly and walked to the door.

I stood there for a long time.

In the room across the street.

Cynthia had just woken up.

She looked at her mother who was hugging her and pressed her head against her chest.

"A thirty-year-old woman, still arguing with a puppy?"

Xunlan raised her hand and stroked her daughter's head.

This head of long, golden hair is also one of the symbols she left on Cynthia.

"It's Lucario's fault."

Cynthia stubbornly pouted.

"Just because he protected you so well?"

Xunlan smiled gently.

“I wanted to protect him too, but he abandoned me.”

Hirona corrected her mother's statement.

Unilateral, coercive protection is not what she seeks.

Protect each other.

This is what she wanted.

This is the reason why she was able to evolve Riolu into Lucario.

but.

The current Lucario has forgotten.

"It was his mother who told him to protect Cynthia."

"."

Cynthia pursed her lips and didn't reply.

This cannot be a reason for Wu Ge to push her away.

"Hehe, Mom and Lucario have argued about the same thing before."

Xunlan suddenly couldn't help but smile.

It reminded me of my younger days.

Back then, she was exactly the same person as Cynthia, and she would get angry over things like that.

Her personality changed after she got married.

Love can make a person uncontrollably change themselves to please the one they love.

"Eh?"

Cynthia looked up at her mother. She had never heard her mother or her Lucario mention this before.

"Protection is a principle ingrained in Lucario and the Aura user, and when the two come together, they inevitably form a guardian-type personality."

"Guardian personality".

Cynthia murmured something, listening intently to what her mother was saying.

She knew that listening to her mother would allow her to learn more about Wu Ge.

Because her mother was analyzing why Wu Ge would do this from a place she had never imagined before.

She needs to understand.

"Yes, a protective personality."

Xunlan nodded slightly, and said with a rather troubled expression,

"This is something Mom came up with after she had a big fight with Lucario. She even did some research on it. You've heard of it, right? The story of Aaron, the Aura Hero."

"Ah."

Cynthia nodded absently.

That was when she and Wu Ge were taking wedding photos together in the desert city.

Aaron, the hero of waveguides.

And his partner.

Lucario, a waveguide apprentice.

She was very touched when she learned about this.

To prevent Lucario from following him to the battlefield, Aaron forcibly sealed it away and went alone with the other Aura users to stop the war, ultimately sacrificing himself on the battlefield.

But now let's look at it from the beginning.
Poor Lucario.

I was mentally prepared to die at any moment, but I was inexplicably left standing there, completely unaware of what was happening.

By the time he was released, everything was over.

Even the most important person, Aaron, has been dead for a very, very long time.

She and Wu Ge.

Just like Lucario and Arran.

"Was Mom abandoned by Lucario before?"

"Ah."

"Mom must be very angry."

"Yes, it made me really angry, and I had a huge fight with Lucario."

Xunlan's face showed an angry expression, as if she had returned to the moment when they had argued.

"And then what happened?"

Cynthia asked quickly.

She already knew the answer.

Mom and Lucario must have made up!

But she still had to ask.

"Hehe, someone always has to back down."

"What about Mom and Lucario?"

"Lucario is very stubborn, almost like a donkey. In the end, his mother gave in and chose to let Garchomp take her place to fight alongside Lucario."

Xunlan reached out and stroked Cynthia's head.

"."

Cynthia lowered her head.

Does Mom mean for me to compromise as well?
Suddenly, the image of Gardevoir on the Nibel Plateau flashed through her mind, and she shook her head firmly.

Never let things turn out that way.

and so.

She will not compromise.

"Alright, you two will make up someday. You're up so late, we should go make lunch. You have to help Mom."

Xunlan rubbed Xilona's head and pulled her out of bed.

"Your bed smells like a puppy."

"It tastes like the Wolf Mother."

"I love you," Cynthia quickly replied.

She wouldn't admit it.

"It tastes like Lucario."

Xunlan reached out and tapped Cynthia's nose.
"Mom just cuddled your puppy to sleep this morning, and now the bed smells like this."

"."

Cynthia scratched her head.

Nothing to say.

Open the door.

Cynthia happened to see Wu Ge opening the door at the same time.

The two looked at each other.

At the same time, he lowered his head.

Wu Ge walked towards the living room.

Cynthia walked toward the kitchen.

Ibrahimovic, who was sitting on the sofa playing with a ball of yarn, tilted his head in confusion as Wu Ge suddenly picked him up.
"Ee-be?"

The innocent little guy noticed Wu Ge's feelings.

I feel the same way as Cynthia.

"It's okay, we have training today too."

Wu Ge reached out and stroked Eevee's big tail.

The little guy is the last member of Cynthia's second team.

Cynthia's second team is already complete.

Sky Players: Rowlet, Togepi, and Little Fish.

Land-based players: Doll Bear, Eevee.

Ocean-based athletes: Seahorse and Flying Fish.

Eevee was the last to enter and hasn't decided what it will evolve into yet; it's up to the little guy to decide.

"Ee-bee".

Ibrahimovic's expression immediately darkened.

Training with Wu Ge.

It's so bitter.

As Wu Ge carried Ibu out of the house.

Cynthia glanced sideways unintentionally, only to see that Wu Ge didn't even turn around.

She lowered her eyelids, looked away, turned around to chop vegetables, and was so absent-minded that she cut her finger.

Doorstep.

As Wu Ge closed the door, he glanced towards the kitchen.

The beautiful blonde figure was focused on chopping vegetables, seemingly oblivious to him.

Wu Ge's tail drooped naturally as he hugged Eevee and closed the door.

Training is over.

Come back for lunch.

At the dinner table, Xunlan did not deliberately arrange for Wu Ge and Xilona to sit together.

The two sat diagonally opposite each other at the table.

From beginning to end.

Neither of them looked at the other.

They are like strangers.

to be honest.

With the deep bond between Wu Ge and Cynthia.

Once broken.

It's not something that can be fixed by a few words from other people or by sitting down for a meal together.

Xunlan understood this point.

There was no deliberate attempt to force them to sit together.

Just let nature take its course.

People who are destined to be together.

No matter what setbacks we encounter, we will never be apart.

There's always an opportunity.

It will bring them back to each other.
