The electronic sound in his mind gradually subsided after a while. Ito tentatively shouted the name of the system into the air, but there was no response after he shouted five times.

"Hiss... is he really gone?"

Ito murmured uncertainly, but if the system really left, it might be a good thing for him.

From now on, he will continue to live on this continent, and he has gained the power to stay young forever... and will continue to live in the same way as now.

"Ah... Looks like I'll have to live here from now on..."

Ito stared at the clear sky absentmindedly, enjoying this rare moment of precious peace.

until--

"Brother Yi! Brother Yi!"

A few minutes later, an anxious shout broke the silence. Hearing his name being called, Ito came back to his senses.

Just from the title called out, Ito knew who it was without having to think.

He turned his head to look in the direction of the sound, and saw a girl in a light blue floral dress running towards him.

The girl has a petite figure, with dark blue hair tied into pigtails. When she runs, the pigtails swing back and forth, making her look very smart.

The light blue floral dress matches the girl's dark blue hair, and there is no sense of incongruity, making people feel that this must be the embodiment of "blue".

The girl looked very anxious, as if she had something important to say.

Seeing this, Ito stood up and said:

"Lucy? What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?"

She trotted all the way to Ito, stopped in front of him, supported herself on her knees and took a few deep breaths.

This look, looks exhausted.

"Huhu, Brother Yi, you really made it hard for me to find you.

I've been looking for you since early morning, but I don't know where you are. I'm so tired. I don't know how long I've been looking for you... Huhu."

"Looking for me so early in the morning? ... Is there something wrong?"

When Ito asked this, he could clearly feel that Lucy's movements were a little unnatural and she looked very nervous.

This made Ito curious and he wanted to hear what Lucy would say.

However, Lucy did not directly reveal the purpose of her visit, but asked:

"Brother Yi, can we sit down and talk?"

"Oh, okay, okay."

Ito and Lucy sat down side by side, with the azure blue lake in front of them.

"Brother Yi, the weather has been pretty good these days, and this lake is so blue and beautiful."

“Yes, indeed, the sky was dark before, but now it is cloudless and the sun is very comfortable.

If I didn't know this was the Demon King's Castle, I might have thought I was still in the human world."

Ito was not stupid enough to ask Lucy directly what her purpose was. She would tell him when the time came.

Now, he just had to patiently answer Lucy's questions.

"Brother Yi, have you had lunch?"

"No, I plan to go back later."

"In that case... then Brother Yi, please try the bento I made!"

As she spoke, Lucy took out two boxes of lunch boxes from the magic storage ring with trembling hands and placed one box in front of Ito.

Although he didn't know what kind of gourd Lucy was selling, Ye Qingge at least knew that Lucy would not harm him, so he didn't refuse and just thanked her and took it.

Under Lucy's expectant gaze, Ito opened the bento lunch box.

Octopus balls, bacon, sausage, rice balls, scrambled eggs with green peppers...

This is a very rich bento. Just from the exquisite arrangement of the dishes... you can see the care put into the maker.

"Wow, I didn't expect you could cook, Lucy. And you seem to have a good appetite too."

Hearing Ito's praise, Lucy immediately smiled with joy.

"Hey, then Brother Yi, please try the lunch box and see how it tastes. I made it with great care."

Hearing this, Ito nodded, picked up the chopsticks, picked up the takoyaki in the lunch box, and put it into his mouth.

After eating it, Ito's eyes lit up and he praised without exaggeration:

"Hmm, it tastes surprisingly good. The seasoning for the takoyaki is just right. Lucy, how long have you been cooking?"

"Well... I practiced for... about two weeks... But I knew how to cook before... But I didn't think it would taste that good back then..."

"That's amazing. It seems you are really talented in cooking."

"Thank you, Brother Yi, for your compliment. I am very happy."

Under Lucy's delighted gaze, Ito quickly finished all the food in the bento.

Lucy put away the empty lunch box and looked into Ito's eyes with shining eyes.

The more I look at it, the more excited I become.

After finishing his lunch, Ito simply lay down on the lawn, staring at the blue sky with slightly tired eyes.

If you relax for a long time, you will feel tired.

Although it was winter, the sun was so gentle that Ito wanted to just lie on the grass and have a good sleep.

"Well... Life is so leisurely now... I don't know what to do..."

Lying on the lawn, Ito murmured with emotion.

“Isn’t a leisurely life better? Although it’s dull, it’s also warm and safe. At least it can make people feel more at ease.

Maybe life in the future will become as leisurely as it is now, without fighting and killing, and everyone will have their own things to do.

I feel like this is the perfect ending.”

Lucy sat gracefully next to Ito and spoke softly.

"Well... what you said does make sense... a leisurely life is really good..."

These words made Ito think of Gwen again.

If the environment at that time was as leisurely as it is now... would Gwen be able to give birth to the child smoothly...

Thinking of this, Ito became a little dazed. Obviously, although he seemed to have gotten over Gwen's death, he had not in his heart.

After all, this was the first time that Ito experienced an important person leaving him by death.

It is inevitable that I still feel a little bit uneasy...

Lucy noticed Ito's strangeness. She frowned slightly and spoke tentatively:

"Brother Yi?"

"..."

Her words seemed to be soft and did not attract Ito's attention.

This made Lucy frown even deeper, and she seemed to have noticed Ito's distraction.
