505: Let's go together

Chapter 504: Together, Perhaps?

Upon hearing this, Dick's pupils contracted, because although Mina's words seemed normal, there were many strange points within.

First was the 'again' in the first half of the sentence. Mina in this life hadn't killed him yet, so where did the 'again' come from?

Second was the expression used in the latter half of the sentence, 'until the end of time'... This overlapped with the latter half of that declaration of love!

However, it was also possible that he was overthinking it, after all, Mina had just experienced those two memories, experiencing his death twice.

Therefore, Mina's use of the word 'again' could actually be understood; it was possible she had immersed herself in the recent memories, believing that the her of those two lives was also her.

As for 'the end of time', it might just be a simple coincidence, as this phrasing didn't seem out of place here.

While thinking, a hint of hesitation inadvertently appeared on Dick's face. Seeing this, Mina couldn't help but feel a pang in her nose and stammered, "You, you don't believe me?"

"Uh... I believe you, of course I believe you won't kill me in this life..."

Dick immediately responded, because just in that second of hesitation, a fleeting dark red appeared on Mina's avatar below the "Twisted Witch".

It was very frightening!

"No, Dick," Mina puffed out her cheeks, leaned closer to Dick, and corrected, "It's that I will protect you!"

"Oh oh, yes, I don't doubt your talent, and I believe that one day, you will be able to hold up a giant shield and stand in front of me to protect me!"

Hearing Dick say this, Mina finally relaxed, and her avatar below the "Twisted Witch" also returned to a healthy green.

Regarding the matter of Master Mina, it could be considered concluded for the time being.

Regardless of whether there was a Sovereign Will inside Mina, Dick had already done what he could.

If there wasn't, it was harmless; if there was, she would definitely become an ally. The outcome was acceptable either way.

But honestly, Dick still hoped that the Mina of the fifteenth life would descend and, out of apology, help him overcome his tribulation...

Unfortunately, Dick couldn't discern any clues from Mina, making it difficult to judge whether the Lord had descended or not.

"Dick, the future is too far away. I just want to prove it now..."

As she spoke, Mina became extremely restless in his arms, her delicate body rubbing against him. The belt she had half-undone earlier had disappeared at some point.

Dick raised an eyebrow, never expecting that his unique technique had been learned by Mina and was now being used on him.

Was this the learning ability of a Witch? As expected, it couldn't be underestimated!

"This is Isurna's military tent, don't mess around..."

"Dick~ Tonight, no matter what it is, I will agree to it~"

Listening to Mina's soft voice, Dick curled his lip and calmly said, "Then let go of me, and go wash the dishes in the kitchen."

"Dick!"

However, Mina uncharacteristically didn't obey, instead puffing out her cheeks, refusing to back down, and holding onto Dick without letting go.

Seeing this, Dick sighed softly, "Then just once."

"Four, four times!"

"Once."

"How about three times...?"

"Once."

"Twice then..."

"Once."

Looking at Dick, who wouldn't budge, Mina could only compromise, "But you have to give it your all, no slacking off!"

"Please, Mina," Dick shook his head and refused, "You know I'd probably have to stay up all night if I went all out."

"Then... okay."

The situation was critical now, and not a single second could be wasted. Logically, Dick shouldn't be indulging Mina here.

But considering that Mina had just gone through two deeply imprinted memories, and for the sake of the "Twisted Witch" task, appeasement was necessary.

Dick knew that Mina's heart was unsettled right now; she was eager to prove that she wouldn't be like her past two lives.

Therefore, the simplest and most direct way to express this was by offering her body, thereby seeking peace of mind.

If he didn't agree to Mina, she would likely suffer from insomnia tonight and fall into self-doubt, quickly developing yandere tendencies.

"Dick, you don't need to consider my feelings, just do what you like, anything at all..."

Suddenly, Dick frowned and looked towards the entrance of the military tent.

Noticing Dick's strange expression, Mina immediately followed his gaze towards the tent entrance and tilted her head in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"Alice is outside, she seems to... have something very urgent to find me for."

Dick deliberately emphasized 'very urgent', not because he was making an excuse, but because Alice was genuinely in a hurry, even hitting the barrier outside the military tent with her hand.

"Emmm..."

Mina looked displeased. Although her personality was soft and she was understanding, the current situation was one where the "bowstring was already fully drawn"...

If it wasn't fired soon, the string would break!

Dick also saw Mina's state, which was why he didn't let Alice in immediately.

Men could get sick from holding back, and so could women, perhaps even more seriously!

So Dick immediately used soul transmission to ask, "What happened? So urgent? It's not like last night again, is it..."

Dick remembered that last night, when he and Isurna were... busy, they were also interrupted by Alice.

She had only summoned a stupid hamster with a single-digit level, yet she had specifically run over to ask for praise, which was truly unbearable.

However, this time, the reason Alice came was even more speechless for Dick.

"I, I'm feeling restless, it's stifling being alone, so... so I wanted to come over and chat with you..."

"???"

Listening to Alice's reason, Dick's mouth twitched violently. He didn't remember the dignified Doomsday Witch needing care and companionship like a weak girl.

It seemed he had been too gentle recently, almost spoiling Alice to the point of illness.

Just as Dick was about to sternly scold her and tell Alice to go back to training immediately, he suddenly looked astonished.

He saw that in the upper right corner of his vision, Alice's avatar below the "Twisted Witch" was constantly flashing, which was a sign of extreme emotional instability.

He had initially thought it was just Alice's clumsy excuse, but he didn't expect it to be true; she was actually so restless.

There was nothing he could do. Dick could only sigh again and look at Mina, slowly saying, "Let Alice in."

"But, but..."

"Together, perhaps?"
