Living your daily life in a shonen anime seems to be wrong.

"what?"

"It's you. Maybe you'll end up like me, your appearance frozen at a certain age, never growing up or getting old."

"Huh? Why?"

Upon hearing what Nanaya said, Misaka Mikoto's eyes widened.

She sat up in bed again, looking in the direction of the bathroom, though she couldn't see Nana inside.

"So what happened?"

"Natural energy, although I'm not entirely sure, it's very likely the effect of natural energy. Maybe it has the effect of increasing lifespan and maintaining youth forever. In short, isn't that great?"

"Um……"

He nodded.

Increase lifespan, maintain youth...

This is what many people aspire to.

However, Misaka Mikoto wasn't thinking about these things. Instead, she was thinking that if lifespan really became very long, then a difference of twenty or thirty years wouldn't seem like a difference at all.

Thinking about it this way, I feel inexplicably a little happy.

But then I suddenly thought about it and couldn't help but frown.

"Hey, Nanaya."

"what?"

"If lifespans could really be extended, could my parents... do the same?"

"..."

A moment of silence.

After a while, Qi Ye appeared at the bathroom door and looked at her.

"terribly sorry."

That's how he started.

He kept his head down, seemingly afraid to meet her gaze.

"Although I'd love to say yes, I can't guarantee it."

Perhaps immortality always comes at a price, such as watching one's parents, relatives, and friends grow old and die.

Then, only he was left.

This is a torment.

Before, Shichiya was all alone, so she never thought about this issue, nor did she consider it when she was in the ninja world.

But now, perhaps we should reconsider.

Moreover, I need to make things clear with Wannai Kinuho and Saten Ruiko.

Misaka Mikoto looked at him.

Then, he curled the corners of his mouth into a smile.

"No...it's okay. Even if it doesn't work, it's alright. After all, our parents...our parents will always get old before us and pass away before us, so...so it's okay. Besides, you only said you couldn't guarantee it, you didn't say it was definitely impossible. Maybe...maybe it's possible."

"..."

Qi Ye looked up at her.

They stared at each other for a while before suddenly scratching their heads and laughing.

"Ah, that's true, maybe it'll work, hahaha..."

"Uh-huh."

Misaka Mikoto nodded.

Then, silence fell again.

Chapter 255: Absolutely hopeless...

Omnipotent Cultivation Supreme

We come into this world with no intention of leaving alive.

Where there is birth, there is death.

Everyone will die someday.

Whether it's today, tomorrow, or the day after, at some point in the future, our lives will end.

Immortality is not the same as eternal life.

Nana also believes that she will die one day, although it seems that it is far away at present.

But if it's not him who dies, it's someone else.

People you know, people you don't know, enemies, relatives, etc.

As time goes by, those close to her, such as Himegami Akisa, Frenda, Fremia, and Last Order, will gradually grow old and die.

What is the concept of death?

Nana always believed that once you die, you have nothing left.

The dead leave nothing behind, and the living can never embrace the deceased again.

"How terrifying!"

He shook his head and sighed.

The sudden mention of this issue frightened him.

Death itself is a frightening thing.

A person who has nothing is not afraid of losing it, but a person who has everything is afraid of losing it all.

Qiye originally didn't care.

But as time went by, he came to have many people he cared about.

Whether it's the ninja world or this world.

It was not something he wanted to see any of the girls die, and he himself did not want to die.

I have never been so afraid of death.

"Indeed, people should have reverence for life."

He continued to shake his head and sigh.

Alone, I walked along the bustling street.

The streets were bustling with people, mostly young men and women brimming with youthful energy.

Youth, what a wonderful word it sounds like.

What is the youth of the Seven Nights?

I can't remember anything at all, because the things I've experienced before are basically the same, so whether I'm young or not has absolutely nothing to do with it.

"I really don't want to think about it!"

Shaking his head, he continued walking forward.

Walking through the crowd, each person is a stranger, and there is no interaction between them; they simply brush past each other in the vast sea of people.

"Hey."

Suddenly, a shout rang out.

I stopped and turned around to look in the direction the sound came from.

A familiar little girl.

No, perhaps we're not really familiar with each other, we're more like acquaintances.

Silk flags are my favorite.

The little girl walked over slowly, her hands in her pockets and the hood of her outfit pulled up.

She had nothing to do tonight, so she decided to go out and watch a movie, and that's when she saw Qiye all alone here.

I don't know why, but I started talking.

After calling out, she regretted it a little, but still walked towards Qiye.

“A silk banner.”

Qi Ye curled the corners of his mouth into a smile.
