Arknights, but the sickly pretty girl starts

—Distorting reality…

Then let me see what you can do?

In this deep spiritual tug-of-war, Noah glimpsed a crazy and persistent will in the nameless harp. This will was a greedy person, an evil spirit that wanted to devour the person who played it, but it was also an artist obsessed with music.

The first time she played, she hadn't noticed any of this and had already exhausted the spring. Fortunately, she wasn't worthy of its attention back then, so it had let her escape from the Black Gold Palace. But now, she had the right to negotiate with it.

At this moment, the Originium skill of manipulating emotions completely suppressed the Nameless Harp's greed. After all, greed itself is an emotion. In this kind of spiritual combat, emotion manipulation is a very cheating talent.

To accommodate, change, accumulate, distort, and condense.

Without the human body, Noah's abilities are even more useful.

At this time, Yaer, who was the "guardian" in the outside world, finally realized that Noah's willpower was about to dissipate. Before the evil demon invaded, she exerted her strength in advance and pulled Noah out of his sleep as before.

The moment Noah opened her eyes again, she actually felt a glare. Although she was extremely tired mentally, she was now very emotionally excited.

She...saw it?

Noya blinked, trying to adjust to the bright light, but soon she realized something was wrong.

Because she did see everything around her, but it was not quite the same as [seeing]. She frowned. This vision was not what she had imagined.

After all, although human eyes are very useful, they can only see the front in the final analysis. But now, Noah can completely control the 360-degree view around him.

——Wait a minute, is this... really... my eyesight restored?

Noya was suddenly a little lost; she wasn't used to this perspective. It wasn't so much that most people could enjoy it. It wasn't so much that she was seeing it, but rather that the world was cramming information directly into her brain, bypassing her eyes and feeding it directly into her brain for her to understand.

——That's right. No matter how much we can change reality, we can't completely ignore the fact that reality is not a black box...

Noah discovered that his distorted reality had been completed in a very outrageous way. His eyes were still just decorations, but he could see through other means. It was like he had opened a third eye, with no blind spots, and even better vision than the human eye. But this was not the result he had hoped for...

It seems that the ability to distort reality is still a bit limited when used in real life... Moreover, if I keep maintaining this full perspective state like this, I feel that I will become tired very easily.

Although Noah felt a little regretful, he still closed his eyes. When the power that distorted reality dissipated, Noah returned to the darkness again.

"Did it work?" Ya'er asked curiously as Noah closed his eyes again. "I felt your gaze just now, so... it's a success, right?"

"It's partially successful..." Noah sighed. "Distorting reality is harder than I thought. It might be easy in the Black Gold Palace, but it's very troublesome to distort reality in the real world."

After explaining her perspective problem to Yaer, Yaer almost understood it, but she always felt it was very familiar - she seemed to have used this perspective before.

She suddenly clapped her hands.

"The perspective you're talking about... seems to be the same as when I just woke up?!"

"what?"

Noah was really scared this time. "Same as when you woke up?"

"Yeah, it feels like everything around me is under control. It's like I have eyes on my back, or my skin has vision—it's quite troublesome, so I deliberately limited my field of vision when I created the clone." Ya'er said seriously, "Noah, the thing you're talking about might really be similar to my perspective—so, let me give it a name, how about calling it the Eye of God?"

"..." Noah was silent, then shook his head silently, "I don't want the Eye of God..."

Seeing everything in the world as a god does is definitely not something I should be able to do. Entering the realm of the gods with human abilities is definitely not a good thing. Someone like Ya'er, born a god, could certainly adapt easily, but I was ultimately just a Kuranta, not a god, not a god, and certainly not an incarnation. Even if I could unlock the divine vision, I wouldn't be able to use it for long.

The simplest way to put it is that the amount of information is too much for your brain to handle.

Humans have their limits... It's a matter of physiological structure, but being able to achieve this level is already a pleasant surprise.

Noah stretched out her hand, and immediately, a layer of illusory piano keys appeared under her hand. As she thought, as long as she successfully tamed the piano, she could bring the piano out.

Although it appeared in the form of illusory piano keys, I could feel its presence and also felt that it still longed to devour everything of mine, not just my emotions, but everything I had.

What a greedy guy...

But I don't hate people who ask for rewards from me. Besides, I just want more emotions.

For me, it’s actually not that difficult.

"Alright, alright, it's good that you succeeded. However, it's best not to use this ability carelessly. Distorting reality is no simple matter—" Ya'er waved her hand, reminding him, "Don't think you can do anything by distorting reality. There are some things you probably can't do even if you squeeze them dry."

As someone who has experienced this, Yaer seriously reminded that gods all have the ability to distort reality to some extent, but Noah is currently only able to open his third eye.

She had made some choices at that time. She considered whether to restore her mobility first or cure her eyes first. In the end, she chose to treat her eyes first, but the result was contrary to her expectations.

If possible, Noah would rather have a normal person's vision.

But at least, he had an interesting trump card. His 360-degree field of vision was not just wide. In a sense, this field of vision could directly avoid anything that obstructed his vision and discover anyone who was hiding, if he used the language of a game to describe it.

That is, [Real Vision] is the most real vision.

It was hard for her to imagine how anyone could sneak up on her in this situation. Unless her speed exceeded the speed of light reflection, no one could hide from her with her divine eyes.

Besides, Noah hasn't tried to what extent his field of vision can be extended. Judging from the test just now, at least one room should be fine.

Maybe she could discover more effects of this vision - of course, now is not the time to test it, she would rather sleep a little longer to recover her energy.

"Alright, alright, now that everything's settled, I won't bother you any more. Get some sleep first. We'll have more time to learn about your gains later." Seeing Noah's drooping eyelids and knowing he'd exerted too much energy today, Ya'er instructed, "Get some rest first. I'll tell Enya about your situation."

"Then thank you for your help..." Noah really couldn't hold on any longer. After saying this, she fell straight down as if she had fainted. Yaer could only step forward to cover her with the quilt.

To be honest, Noah had indeed given her too many surprises. She also contributed to the peaceful conclusion of Kjerag's Snow Mountain Incident. Later, she also helped Enya with her work and found a new way out for Kjerag. She liked herself more and more as the honorary saint who was originally conferred with the manual.

After watching her [faint], he quietly leaned over and touched her forehead as lightly as a dragonfly touching the water, then disappeared into the room with a wicked smile.

What even Noah and Yaer didn't notice was that there was a strand of white hair quietly mixed in with Noah's black hair - before successfully playing the nameless harp, Noah had never had white hair.

Chapter 67: Hope

"…The relationship between girls is really wonderful."

Enya lay among a pile of strange books and comics, and sighed leisurely.

However, perhaps the entire Kjerag was unaware that the saint, who they saw as pure and innocent, had developed some inexplicable hobbies. This hobby was obviously impossible to reveal to others. She only took a peek at it occasionally, and was still very serious when working, not delaying anything.

But the look in his eyes towards Enxia, ​​who came to see Noah all day, gradually became strange—

She hadn't noticed it before, but now it seems... Could it be that Enxia likes Noah?

Enya was thinking seriously, but soon her attention was distracted by other things, because Noah had come into the office yawning. Noah was used to working, even when there was no need to live in Manzhuyuan anymore. After Margaret had returned to her country and the doctor and others had returned to Rhodes Island, Noah would still come to help with the office occasionally. In the afternoon, she would practice piano with all her strength. This kind of life lasted for nearly a month.

Taking medicinal baths every day for this month made her feel that her body was gradually becoming less afraid of the cold. Perhaps there was something in these herbs that could resist the cold. Anyway, Noah now felt warm all over and was much healthier than before.

Kuro also followed Noya into the office. She had seen Noya's health improve, so she had no objection to Noya staying in Shelag for so long.

If living in Kjerag could make Noya's health better, she felt that staying here for a long time would not be a bad idea.

During this month, Noya moved back to the house that had been prepared for her and started working as the Honorary Saint's handyman again. However, she did not resign from Enya, so she now serves as the secretary of the Chairman of the Kjerag Council and the Honorary Saint. She also occasionally practices the piano, which fills her life.

The villagers who had lost the Honorary Saint for a month suddenly discovered that the Honorary Saint had returned, and they welcomed her with drums and gongs. Soon, the Honorary Saint's cottage became crowded with people again.

Noah didn't dislike the hustle and bustle, so he just let it go.

Kuro and Tora are just sitting around doing nothing, so they just do whatever Noah tells them to do, as if they are two of Noah's Shikigami.

However, the people of Kjerag were unaware of this subordinate relationship. They simply viewed the two individuals, who had a close relationship with the Saint, as friendly and willing to help whenever asked. The already simple and frightening people of Kjerag naturally considered them their own. Rumors about the Honorary Saint and her followers spread to the Holy Mountain, and even Enya felt that her own position as Saint seemed to be in jeopardy this month.

Although she herself didn't mind—the one who could bring happiness and stability to the people of Kjerag was a saint.

How could she possibly hate someone like Noya, who went deep into the people and did practical things for the Kjerag people?

"Noah, have you been getting busier lately?" Enya asked. "If you find it troublesome, I can just ask for leave or not come. After all, we haven't signed any formal agreement."

"I had to come here to practice piano anyway, it just happened to be convenient for me." Noah shook her head, with no intention of stopping the pen in her hand. It was not difficult for her to do two things at the same time. She was a master of multi-threading. She had been like this in Casimir before, and she could handle it in Kjerag as well.

If she practiced the piano for the sake of playing the nameless piano before, now she has simply found the original joy in practicing the piano.

"Come to think of it, are you planning on leaving next month?" Enya asked curiously, "Aren't you planning on staying a few days longer?"

"There are some things I need to discuss with the doctor at Rhodes Island, and I've stayed in Kjerag long enough. Although I'm a little reluctant to leave, I have to keep moving forward." Noah responded. Conversations like this have been played out countless times between them. Enya seemed reluctant to leave, but she had made up her mind. After completing the first performance of the Nameless Harp, she realized that the Nameless Harp really devoured the emotions of others. The last time, the Nameless Harp devoured the malice of the people of Casimir that had accumulated in her heart.

These emotions are not important to Noah, and may even be a burden. However, if he wants to continue playing, his own emotions will probably be devoured.

Therefore, in order to play the nameless harp, she could not stay here forever.

Just like before, guiding other people's emotions into the body, accumulating them, and then letting the Nameless Harp devour them, this should be the best way.

The question is where else can this emotion be accumulated?

Guiding emotions is not such a simple matter, and the appetite of the Nameless Harp is obviously growing. It is estimated that it will take a long time for Noah to play the Nameless Harp to heal his legs again.

But if you think on the bright side, at least you have found a way to heal yourself, but now you can't afford the medical bills.

Once I have saved enough money for medical treatment, maybe I will be able to walk around again.

It's always good to have hope...

But in Kjerag, she obviously didn't have the opportunity to accumulate a lot of emotions, so she still had to leave, and it would be best to find a place with enough emotional conflict - but this also meant that she had to go to the most chaotic place and might encounter many dangers.

It’s better than just sitting and waiting to die!

Noah didn't want to die in a hospital bed. As a former knight, he also longed for a more heroic ending.

"I see..." Enya sighed, "When you're leaving, remember to tell me. Even a day in advance will be fine."

"Yeah." Noah nodded, "...Enya?"

"Ok?"

“Kjerag is a really nice place and I am very happy here.”

"Um...thank you for the compliment?"

"More importantly, here, I've seen you, a brave man, and the three great families who care deeply about their country and their people. I can sense that you're a united whole, and that's truly important. Compared to Casimir's situation, Kjerag has a bright future."

Noah's praise was not a castle in the air, but real envy. If Casimir also had such unity, he would have taken off long ago.

Being behind temporarily doesn't mean being behind forever. Noah believes that with Enthiotis and Enya around, Kjerag's future is bright.

Chapter 68: Heavy Snow Fills the Sky and the Heart

The Honorary Saint, Noa Kyrielight, is planning to leave Kjerag.

No one knew who first spread the news, but it quickly spread throughout the Snow Region. Many Kjerag people were initially reluctant to accept this honorary saint. After all, they didn't know what Noa had done during the Snow Mountain Incident. But when Noa Kyrielight truly entered their community and integrated into Snow Mountain life, these simple Kjerag people had to admit—

The title of Honorary Saint is not false. She has indeed entered people's lives and has integrated with the Kjerag people in her own way.

Although she was physically disabled and had to rely on the masked blond guard Kuro and the taciturn Tura for help in many things, as long as someone encountered trouble and came to her hut, the problem could basically be solved.

She never tires of helping people solve their problems, even teaching children to read and helping busy parents look after their children. Noya's little house has almost become a nursery for Kjerag's busy parents.

At first, many Kjerag people were reluctant to entrust their children to a person of unknown origin, but soon someone enlightened them. This was an honorary saint appointed by the saint. How could you not believe in the saint if you didn't believe in foreigners?

This is Yelagund's agent on earth. If the saint recognizes him, then Yelagund also recognizes him.

Kjerag's education was clearly a major problem, and Noya did her best to impart all the knowledge she could to these children in a gentle manner. Occasionally, she would sing to them, either the ballad of Casimir or the nursery rhymes of Kjerag that she had just learned. Her voice was gentle and clear, perfect as a lullaby for children. On the few occasions when Enya came to inspect, she would often see Noya sitting in a wheelchair in her room, humming songs, with several children sleeping soundly on the beds.

Soon, the children had a sister named Noya, and Kjerag's busy parents also had a Miss Noya they could trust.

With Noah's help, these children's grades have improved and they have become more obedient. As parents, how could they have any resentment towards Noah?

Not only Noah, Kuro and Tora also did a lot of things, such as hunting, helping with search and rescue, and even helping children find snow rabbits and helping pack animals deliver babies. Kuro and Tora helped without any hesitation.

Noah, who walked among the people, gained their support in a very short time, and the people also regarded Miss Noah from Casimir as one of their own.

When Noa Kyrielet was about to leave Kjerag, many people were reluctant to let her go. In one day, Noa received numerous requests to persuade her to stay. She could only explain things to each person one by one. Although it was troublesome, Noa didn't think it was a bad thing.

She could sense that these people didn't want to keep her just for the convenience she brought, but rather that they truly considered her a part of Kjerag and were worried about her.

This is a very simple feeling - they really treat you as their own.

This was something Noah rarely felt in Casimir, so she cherished it immensely.

Cherish the time spent with the people of Kjerag; it will be a treasure to her in the future.

Noya sent many of his fellow villagers away only after swearing to visit Kjerag again before the next ceremony.

In fact, what surprised her the most was that, although Kuro was the only one who wanted to stay, Tora was also sought to stay by many people.

This silent man seemed to be gradually changing. Often, even without orders, he would proactively help others with hunting, search and rescue, and so on. He wasn't good at speaking, but his pure heart never faded. Kjerag's life had dulled his edge, and he now seemed more like a guy with a bad mouth.

Sure enough, people don’t hate getting along with others——

After persuading the last group of people to leave, Noya half-jokingly asked Tora, "Do you want to stay here? The people here really don't want to let you go, right?"

Tora raised his head and shook it firmly, "Wherever the princess is, there I will be."

"I told you, I'm not a princess, and I can't decide your life." Noah sighed, "Isn't this place great? Are you happy living here?"

"...I." Tora didn't answer immediately, "I don't know..."

"It's not that you don't know, you just haven't adapted." Noya's lips curled up. "You're used to fighting, used to traveling through the barren mountains and harsh lands. You rarely feel warmth from others. But now, you suddenly feel a sense of belonging—Kjerag is willing to accept you."
