After being reborn, I was turned into a slave girl by a princess.

"Waaah..."

"Um...right, I haven't asked your name yet."

"what?"

"What's your name? Is it 'Idiot'?"

"No, no way!"

Lonnie opened her mouth, trying her best to refute, even telling Elusia her name from when she was a hero.

but……

(Huh, what was my name when I was a hero?)

Lonnies was taken aback, only then realizing that, like the Eight-Tailed Fox, she couldn't remember her name from when she was a hero.

The God of Creation and Light?

A peerless genius?

No, who would use such a childish and pretentious name?

Uh...

Seeing Lonese's conflicted expression, Lonese put her hands on her hips and said, "Hmph, whatever, I'll just call you a tool then."

"what?"

"Hey, I have a bad feeling about this place. We might not be able to get out anytime soon. I'm a little hungry now. Do you know where I can find something good to eat?"

Chapter 88 Lianlan's Awakening

"Rippling Warrior, are you alright?"

"Hmm, it's okay..."

Lianlan nodded slowly.

Although she and Yicheng successfully broke into the prison and even rescued many villagers who had escaped from the prison.

But deep down, she felt a strange sense of déjà vu and nostalgia.

It's myself...

Have you ever been to this prison?

However, unlike when she was in the hospital, she did not recall any specific images.

What made Lianlan feel even more bitter was that she didn't even know what it was about this place that she missed... Was it the air, the smell, the light, or the sound?

Standing beside her, Yi Cheng shook her head and said;

"Brave Lianlan, please lead these villagers out to seek refuge first."

"No, how can this be? Yicheng, it's still very dangerous here... And you felt it, right? The ground is shaking, which means there might be some heavy mechanical weapons attacking us."

"Ah."

"As a hero, one should not have any complicated thoughts. I'm just a little confused. Believe me, I'll be back to normal soon."

"..."

Yi Cheng's face suddenly became very serious.

She seemed to have something to say, but in the end, the orange-haired girl shook her head and sighed, "Ah, perhaps this is fate. Sometimes, I really don't want to know so much..."

"Miss Yicheng?"

"Lianlan, perhaps I shouldn't interfere with your fate. But if you want to know the answer, just keep moving forward to the center of the command area."

"!"

"If you don't want to, you can retreat and rest. I know what the weaknesses of these mechs are, but I can only deal with them by myself."

……

……

It seems that Yicheng wants to defeat those mechs through solo combat... and since that's the case, the two of them have to separate for the time being.

Lianlan walked alone on the path ahead, her eyes filled with confusion.

As a hero, the girl knew that this feeling was fatal... because if you don't have courage, if you don't have the awareness to challenge everything, then you lose the right to be a hero.

but……

Why do I feel a faint sadness?

It's as if they've forgotten something crucial.

Oh right, I forgot something!

So, if I hadn't come here, would my memory of starting from here have become completely blurred?

So, if we start from this clue, will we be able to remember the things we've forgotten?

He wandered and drifted until he finally arrived at the Drowned Island.

On that island, he initially struggled to survive as a wanderer, but later he helped the villagers subdue the murderer, which officially earned him the title of hero.

Although I've been wandering around for a while, I feel a great sense of accomplishment.

Later, he went to Nilan Harbor and gained the appreciation of the princess. Because of his outstanding physical abilities, he even won the martial arts tournament...

I met many partners, as well as comrades from the Dragon Roar Fleet.

after that

(No, this memory line is clear. Hmm... perhaps it's because I developed the habit of keeping a diary after arriving at Drowning Harbor, so there's no possibility that the memory is false.)

Lianlan took a deep breath, since she hadn't forgotten the later memories.

The most crucial thing is one's memories before leaving, or even from a past life.

In my past life...

Does he look like a figure skater?

Mother's and father's names...

Well, although it's difficult, if I think about it carefully, I can still vaguely remember it.

And then, the cause of my death...

Was I dumped by my lover because of a long-distance relationship?

Did you fail the preliminary round and miss the finals?

So, they went to the tavern to drown their sorrows, and in the end...

(No, these things are just too negative. I can't let the past affect me in the present.)

Lianlan took a deep breath. Now, although she still remembered her past life, she felt that it was something that someone else had experienced.

Feeling powerless and melancholy, it seems that no matter how hard I try, I can never be the perfect version of myself.

and so……

The only thing I can't remember is probably the time I spent in the City of Heroes.

I must have lived here for a long time, right here...

"Did I meet the person... who awakened me?"

……

……

Lian Lan's pupils contracted as she finally remembered something she had forgotten.

I didn't wake up for no reason.

For if we want to awaken the heroes who slumber in antiquity, someone must come here and offer up their future and destiny.

This is a story connected by time, where partners and heroes cooperate to embark on a journey to save the world.

Then why am I...?

I can't remember what that person looked like anymore?

Not only that, but he couldn't even remember her existence anymore.

"Uh... what am I doing?!"

Lianlan rubbed her head, lost in pain.

But in the end, she still stood up.

Because Lianlan knew that Yicheng was right, and that the answers to everything would be found in the command area.

Regardless of everything that one has forgotten,

It's still the same...

An inescapable fate.

"Hmm, it seems we can't get out of the supply area. We'll have to head to the command area first and then find a way out."

Princess Lunis…

Lonnies took a slight breath, surprised by Elusia's abilities.

She memorized all the locations after just one glance at the map—unlike me, who would get lost even when fighting in the Demon King's castle and ended up in the weapons room by sheer chance.

"Hmm, what's wrong? Little tool?"
