No one could understand Souji's feelings at that moment.

In Souji's heart, Ye Ming was her fellow disciple, her childhood friend, her companion who went through the bloody storms of the late Edo period, her like-minded seeker of the Way, and also the lover she finally recognized.

Therefore, when Souji arrived in this unfamiliar world and came into contact with the game FGO, she finally found Ye Ming with great difficulty based on her intuition, only to discover that Ye Ming had lost his memory. Souji did not waver or feel confused at all.

Losing your memory is a good thing.

At the very least, we can let go of the heavy past and start anew in this peaceful country, living a peaceful and warm daily life.

Souji has always thought this way.

But now, before she could even find an opportunity to act, someone else had already beaten her to it and gone straight to the finish line.

The blow was so heavy that when Souji saw Yae Sakura and Fu Hua confronting each other at the breakfast shop entrance, he became enraged and uttered words he would never normally say to strangers: "You two, don't you find this ridiculous?"

Souji pointed at Yae Sakura: "Although I don't know how long you've lived, since you claim to be a shrine maiden from Sengoku Shinano, you must be at least over five hundred years old by now, right? The Yae Sakura who confronted me yesterday was a battle-hardened warrior and a gentle and calm shrine maiden, but now, she insists on playing the role of a spoiled, chuunibyou girl?"

The commander looked at Fu Hua: "And you? I heard from Yae Sakura that you were born in the previous civilization era and have lived for more than 55,000 years. More than 55,000 years! Countless sunrises and sunsets, countless changes of the world, countless dynasties rising and falling, joys and sorrows, and immortals who have seen all the vicissitudes of life, do you really look like this?"

"It's not strange to want to get closer to the person you like, to be noticed by the person you like, and to be with the person you love. These are thoughts that everyone has. But what happens after you're together? Do you still have to keep pretending? At home and outside, in and out of bed, do you have to pretend like this for the rest of your life?"

Why can't we be more honest?

Souji's voice gradually lowered: "If I had walked up to him openly and frankly on the first day we met, and told him my feelings and thoughts without reservation, the result would definitely have been much better than it is now."

But now, it's too late.

Although Laffey was just a little girl, Souji, who overheard Laffey and Ye Ming's conversation, had already vaguely guessed that the life called ship girls was not just Laffey, but that for some unknown reason, she was unable to return to Ye Ming's side with Laffey.

Ship girls, girls from another world.

Just like her from Chaldea and Yae Sakura and Fu Hua from the Honkai world.

Do we have a future together?

The commander-in-chief doesn't know.

But it doesn't really matter, does it?

The commander is heartbroken, but he will not give up.

Just as Ye Ming, who disliked swordsmanship and killing, chose to embark on the path of the sword to accompany her through those turbulent years during the Bakumatsu period, in this life, in this peaceful world, even if she cannot become Ye Ming's wife, she will silently protect Ye Ming's side, just as Ye Ming protected her during the Bakumatsu period.

"I don't know what kind of world the Honkai World is, but since we were able to come to this world, there is also the possibility that evil beings that could threaten Ye Ming's safety could come to this world. Therefore, before we get into a fight, I hope we can prioritize exchanging information and establishing an alliance, with the elimination of any potential evil beings and the protection of his safety as our top priority."

After venting her emotions, Souji gradually calmed down. She wiped away her tears and looked at Yae Sakura and Fu Hua: "At least, we are in agreement on the point that we hope he is safe and sound."

Yae Sakura and Fu Hua were stunned by Souji's words. After a brief silence, Fu Hua was the first to extend her right hand to Yae Sakura.

Yae Sakura loosened her arms that were wrapped around her chest and grasped Fu Hua's outstretched right hand.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Yae Sakura took the initiative to speak, and with just a handshake, the tense atmosphere instantly dissipated.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Fu Hua responded by releasing Yae Sakura's hand and waving her hand. An invisible wave spread out, startling the crowd of onlookers in the breakfast shop and on the sidewalk. They then completely forgot what had just happened and left.

"As expected, it is Yu Duchen, a divine key that can affect memories."

Seeing this, Yae Sakura couldn't help but glance at Fu Hua.

As if knowing what Yae Sakura was thinking, Fu Hua said calmly, "It is indeed the Divine Key, but I am not so bad as to modify his memories. I did grow up with him. I have been in this world for more than 20 years."

"So, can you tell me why you like him?"

This time, it was the commander who spoke.

"I'm sorry, I really can't imagine that a being that has lived for over 50,000 years could be moved like an ordinary person."

“What’s so unimaginable?” Fu Hua said calmly. “No matter how long I’ve lived or how powerful I am, when I was born, I was just an ordinary person. An ordinary birth, an ordinary upbringing, an ordinary girl as ordinary as can be.”

As she spoke, Fu Hua gazed into the distance, her thoughts drifting.

"The story begins in a city called Canghai City in the last era..."

…………

In a conference room on the sixteenth floor of an office building in the western district of H city.

"Happy cooperation!"

After exchanging and signing the contracts, Ke Qing, dressed in a business suit, handed the contracts to her secretary behind her and stood up to shake hands with the middle-aged woman opposite her.

"Thank you so much for giving us this opportunity," the middle-aged woman said with a smile. "It will be a pleasure to cooperate with you."

Ke Qing smiled and said, "From now on, I will be the person directly in charge of the project and will coordinate and communicate with your company. Therefore, I have a small personal request."

"Please speak."

"I hope your company can select someone to communicate with me directly. Personally, I hope this person is not a pure salesperson or a pure technical person, but preferably someone who is technically proficient and also understands some business."

After a moment's thought, the middle-aged woman immediately had a candidate in mind.

“That’s easy. Our company happens to have such a talent. He has several years of experience on the construction front and is technically proficient. He is also currently working in a technically-oriented business position and is quite skilled.”

"Could I ask his name beforehand?"

"His name is Ye Ming, and he is a very outstanding young man."

Ke Qing smiled.

Chapter Twenty-Three: Facing Death with Resolute Devotion

Raffi is a little girl who is always sleepy. After finishing breakfast, the little bit of energy Raffi managed to muster completely vanished.

The little girl was hugging a pillow and lying on the sofa, basking in the warm morning sun, her eyes closed and drowsy. She was incredibly cute.

Ye Ming cleaned the living room while admiring Little Raffi's adorable sleeping face. Fu Hua didn't return until he had finished cleaning the entire room.

I sent a message to Fu Hua via WeChat and received a reply from her in less than a minute.

"I met two friends, so I won't be going back for now. Don't bother saving me breakfast."

Ye Ming saw the message, replied with an "Mm", looked down at the little Lafite on the sofa, thought for a moment, barely suppressed the urge to hug Lafite, went back to the bedroom, and turned on the computer.

Yesterday, he posted his 4,000-word novel on the famous pigeonhole website Hedgehog Cat. Now, when he opened the website, he found that more than 500 readers had bookmarked the book in just one night, and many readers had even voted and left comments for him. This excited Ye Ming to no end, especially when he saw how many votes his readers had given him. His passion for writing was instantly ignited.

Update! An update is absolutely necessary!!!

Ye Ming typed another four thousand words in one go, then breathed a sigh of relief. He stretched his neck and wrists, which were sore from sitting for so long, and glanced at the bottom right corner of the computer screen. Goodness, four hours had passed in the blink of an eye, and it was already one o'clock in the afternoon.

It turns out that being an author isn't an easy job either.

Ye Ming sighed with emotion, glanced at the novel interface again, and found that four hours had passed and the number of votes hadn't increased much, so he felt a little discouraged.

Sigh, I hope I get more votes tomorrow. More votes will motivate me to update more often.

Ye Ming opened the novel and carefully read through the comments and reviews twice. He saved the interesting comments to copy into the book when he updated it the next day. Ten minutes later, Ye Ming logged out of Hedgehog Cat and turned off the computer.

It was already 1:30 PM. By then, the people at the bridal shop should have finished their lunch. It was time to take Raffi to have her wedding dress custom-made.

"Laffey, go wash your face, the Commander will take you to have your wedding dress made in a little while."

Ye Ming shouted into the living room, rubbed his aching neck, pushed back his chair, stood up, and left the bedroom.

Fu Hua still hadn't returned. Ye Ming thought for a moment, then moved Fu Hua's luggage into the bedroom and put it away. After sending Fu Hua a message, he was stunned to receive a reply that she wouldn't be back until the evening.

"Commander~ Laffey's all washed up, let's go!"

Perhaps because she was about to receive the new wedding dress personally given to her by the commander, Laffey, who was usually listless, was unusually excited and shook Ye Ming's hand.

Of course, despite her excitement, even as a naive little girl, Raffi was very careful with her hands. She only held Ye Ming's hand affectionately and didn't use any real force.

Otherwise, given the destroyer's terrifying power, Ye Ming would have been torn to pieces long ago.

"Uh, wait, let the commander finish sending the message."

Ye Ming was a little flustered.

His original plan was to take Fu Hua and Raffi together to a bridal shop to order wedding dresses under the guise of cosplay.

There are two advantages to doing this. First, Fu Hua already knew about his interest in this area, so she wouldn't suspect that he had any feelings for Lafite. Second, with Fu Hua as a cover, when they went to the wedding dress shop to customize a wedding dress, they could focus on Fu Hua and pretend to customize one for Lafite as a side thing, so as not to arouse the suspicion of the shop staff.

But now, Fu Hua won't be back until evening, and Ye Ming can't find any other friends he's close enough to go to a bridal shop to order a wedding dress and do cosplay, so his situation suddenly becomes awkward.

If he were to take such an adorable white-haired little girl like Raffi to a bridal shop to customize a wedding dress all by himself, even using cosplay as an excuse, it would seem quite dangerous.

Even with the risks, Ye Ming didn't want to disappoint his Lafite again.

Ye Ming pondered for a while, randomly dialing his WeChat friends list. When he clicked on a girl's profile picture with donkey ears, his eyes lit up.

"Are you there? My sister asked me to help her order a cosplay outfit. Do you have time? I'd like to invite you to come along and hear your opinion as a professional."

The recipient of Ye Ming's message was Yae Sakura.

Less than five seconds later, the other party replied.

"Sorry, I'm having dinner with friends and don't have time. How about tomorrow?"

Ye Ming paused for a moment, looked at the message, then looked down at Raffi's expectant and excited eyes. After thinking for a while, he replied, "My sister needs it urgently. Since it's inconvenient for you, I'll take her myself. I'm sorry to trouble you."

Ye Ming replied to the message, put his phone in his pocket, looked down at Raffi who was staring at him with expectant eyes, took a deep breath, and said loudly in a tone of resolute acceptance of death, "Let's go!"

Little Raffi nodded excitedly: "In good condition... Let's go!"

Chapter Twenty-Four: Kiss

A cute little girl wearing adorable bunny ear hair clips, a loose skirt and cotton coat, and white over-the-knee socks was right beside him. Holding the girl's little hand, they walked along the sidewalk. The warm afternoon sun shone overhead. At this moment, Ye Ming felt a long-lost sense of complete relaxation.

"Commander, can Laffey's new wedding dress have bunny ears?" Laffey is a big fan of bunny ears.

"Um, bunny ears? A wedding dress with bunny ears would look really weird, wouldn't it?"

Ye Ming thought for a long time, but he still couldn't figure out what it would look like if a pair of rabbit ears were added to the veil of a wedding dress.

"Oh."

The little girl was clearly just asking casually, and immediately changed the subject when Ye Ming questioned her.

"Commander, Commander, when we come back, can we take Laffey to the supermarket again? Laffey wants to eat chocolate."

The only box of chocolates the little girl bought last time was a Valentine's Day gift for Ye Ming. Ye Ming couldn't bear to eat it and carefully treasured it in his desk drawer, even locking it up.
