The Lord of Another World: All Wasted at the Beginning, and He Made His Fortune by Taking in the Fem

——It was just bad luck.

These are the words Aarons has used to comfort himself countless times, and they are also the only excuse he has ever made for his failure.

But he never said such words in front of other people.

"……maybe."

The glasses he used for camouflage were taken away when he was captured, so Jiang Yue must have known his identity now.

But why did she know this? Has she already met Mo Qianyun?

...Or did she already know who she was?

"Is that all?"

Aarons didn't know why Jiangyue asked this question.

He felt that Jiang Yue had reason to be angry - after all, he had "killed" the person she loved most with his own hands, and had deceived her for a long time with a false identity.

But he did not sense any murderous intent from Jiangyue.

"…It's just my own fault."

"Is it all my fault? Don't other people have any responsibility at all?"

"Losers have no right to make excuses."

As if she was very dissatisfied with Aarons' answer, Jiang Yue crossed her arms and put on an arrogant attitude, and the look in her eyes as she looked down at him seemed to become even colder.

But Aarons just felt that this was how she should be.

"Even if you don't want to explain, don't you want to ask for help?"

"It's a pure waste of other people's time."

"...You can't even ask for kindness from others?"

For some reason, Jiangyue didn't mention the past at all.

She was simply mocking Aarons in a weird tone, without any malice or hostility in it.

——It was as if she was just expecting Aarons to say something.

“There’s no need to make others do something they’ll regret later.”

“Why do you assume what other people think?”

"...I've made others regret their actions many times."

After hearing these words, Jiang Yue bit her lips sadly and turned her gaze to the side.

Did she already know something? Aarons didn't dare to guess.

"So, you're willing to rot in a place like this?"

"It's better than causing trouble for others."

Having said that, Aarons sighed softly.

He still doesn't know why Jiangyue came here - in his rational and objective analysis, Jiangyue should hate and despise him immensely.

So he did not beg for forgiveness, but just calmly waited for the coming judgment and punishment.

"Even if you lose everything, it doesn't matter?"

“…I had nothing from the beginning.”

But this conversation, which seems to have no intersection, is still continuing.

……

Jiang Yue knew who the man in front of her was from the beginning.

She came to Pandmore following the traces of Mo Qianyun's magic, and was already prepared to meet him again.

However, she had already touched upon part of the truth before setting out, so she actually did not feel any anger in her heart.

"You seem to enjoy the assumption of failure."

"…After all, I have had many experiences of failure."

Why did that man push them away from him in that way?

——All she wanted to know was a reason.

“So why not think about what you’ll get when you succeed?”

“…Ordinary people probably can’t imagine things they haven’t experienced.”

As long as you can understand all the prerequisites of the problem, you can have as many solutions as you want.

She doesn't care about anything and can give up anything - rules are meaningless to her and wealth is worthless in her eyes.

However, she never knew what the man wanted.

"So, what is your wish?"

"……do not know."

That's right, the man himself doesn't know what he wants.

Jiang Yue has already gotten the answer she wanted from her apprentice...but she also realized that if she wanted to completely solve this problem, it would not be enough to rely on herself alone.

If the other party is unwilling to take that crucial step, then no matter how hard others try, it will be meaningless.

"do not know?"

"…I once had many wishes, but none of them came true. Because I didn't have the ability to realize my wishes, I just stopped thinking about them."

Although there is only one step left, Jiang Yue doesn't know what to do.

In this matter, she and her apprentice are exactly the same... That's why she came here alone and used this method to test the man's true intentions.

"No, if I were to talk about wishes, I actually do have one."

"What is it?"

“…Let this meaningless life end.”

——This sentence contains two meanings.

The man will not succumb to fate and suffering, but he is also seeking reasonable relief.

If someone really told him, "Loser like you should disappear from the world," he might gladly accept such an outcome.

...Whether being affirmed or denied, he just wants to get a result.

"So...if you don't want to regret it in the future, stay away from me."

"...You are so stupid."

Jiang Yue finally forced herself to suppress the growing impulse in her heart.

——She wanted to take the man away at all costs and hide him somewhere where no one would know him anymore.

No matter what the world becomes, no matter what other people think...it has nothing to do with her.

She just wanted to take him, who had nothing and was covered in wounds, completely for herself.

"You know, dragons are very greedy creatures."

"……maybe."

"In the story, it would take away people's treasures in various ways, and then laugh loudly at their stupidity in a place where people can't reach it."

Jiang Yue looked at the man leaning against the wall with her bright red vertical pupils...but the other person's eyes seemed to be attracted by the void, completely out of focus.

"But I said I'd give the kid a chance, so I'm not going to do anything now."

But then, Jiang Yue shook her head as if she was a little bored, and her eyes returned to their original color and shape.

"I will wait for her to make her own choice and then decide what I want to do."

“…She will choose the best outcome.”

"You will see for yourself what she will choose in the end."

Jiang Yue, who had already said everything she wanted to say, finally turned around slowly and took steps in the direction she came from.

Aarons, who was leaning against the wall, finally closed his eyes and let his exhausted spirit slowly melt into the darkness.

——Sister, where will his fate go next?

...The fool will challenge the unreachable sky, and then know his true fate in the merciless fire that burns his body.

——So, what should we do?

…Let him successfully step onto that stage—and then, turn into ashes.
