Chapter 1098: Chapter 536: Childhood Friends and Lovers

"Meluna, are you free at noon?"

Li Ang’s words immediately made Meluna’s eyes light up, even causing him to pause.

The degree of excitement was like when she agreed to several outrageous requests all at once before.

Could it be because in the Reversed World, this woman forgot the heavy pressure from another world she carried on her shoulders, and thus truly became pure in nature?

Although, given her temperament, Li Ang really couldn’t be certain how much the matter with another Nebis would cast a shadow over her.

He looked at Meimei again. Speaking of which, this little girl was the same, without the pessimistic thoughts brought by PTSD, she indeed had the feel of a neighbor sister.

"Why are you looking at me?" Meimei’s voice was somewhat sharp: "If you want to whisper with my sister, go ahead, it’s a good thing, a very good thing."

Li Ang nodded and stood up; Meluna immediately moved her steps and ran to his side.

"Hey!" As the two were about to leave, Meimei suddenly shouted.

They turned back together and saw the white-haired young girl’s shoulders quivering: "Will you walk home together after school?"

Meluna moved behind Li Ang, indicating for him to decide.

"We will," Li Ang said.

If possible, he wished the entire Star Flower Travel Corps would always be in his sight, to prevent that dark figure from doing something again.

"That’s settled then. I’ll wait for you at most five minutes... forget it, ten minutes. If you don’t come, I’ll go back first, leaving you to your sweet talking."

Meimei slapped the table, packed up the three lunchboxes, and walked away with her basket.

Li Ang and Meluna exchanged a look, the black-haired young girl’s eyes now only had him, not caring where her sister went at all.

Weren’t they supposed to be real sisters in the script? Was this so superficial? Li Ang grinned slightly.

"Let’s go."

He recalled his understanding of Mistrem from the false memories, searching for a suitable and peaceful place to be alone.

He had to say, the Caster helped him from this perspective; had it not been for these false memories, he would only have a rough impression of this Magic Academy.

Walking without words with Meluna, they arrived at a resting area by the riverbank with benches. This was clearly a "place couples love to go," but Mistrem was quite large, with relatively few students and this artificially constructed river with Natural Magic almost crossing the school. These places were plentiful, and each pair discussing something knew to distance themselves from others, leaving enough space.

Seeing there was completely no one around, Li Ang sat on the bench, while Meluna stood on the side.

Is this? Waiting for my signal?

Li Ang recalled the "script", the Reversed World’s her wasn’t one to listen to everything Li Ang said, just an ordinary neighbor young girl.

Before he figured out what she meant, Meluna suddenly knelt down.

"Li Ang, I’m sorry, really sorry. I didn’t mean to say that at the time, I just, I just felt embarrassed before. I know that it’s really bad, clearly I don’t have the right to ask for your forgiveness, but I still..."

The previously relatively introverted Reversed Meluna seemed to have her repressed emotions overflow instantly, as there were no third parties present.

Now Li Ang no longer had the full resentment from the time on Mengze Island; whether it was the Meluna in school uniform, kneeling in front of his legs, making the scene terribly awkward, or the Meluna on Mengze Island who dared not show herself, he once again felt they were essentially the same.

The Reversed Power cannot completely remake their personalities.

This raises another critical issue—where does she reverse and where does her weakness lie?

Judging by her still caring about him, might the dark figure try to guide her to do something, making him utterly reject her? This was unacceptable to any version of Meluna.

Li Ang reached out, gently comforting the young girl’s cheek; Meluna trembled, tears streaming down her face.

"It’s fine, don’t think about it anymore; those things shouldn’t have happened in the first place," he said softly.

If not for someone’s attempt to undermine the Thousand Tower City, these false conflicts wouldn’t surface.

Before, on the Eternal Summer, in the forge room, as the molten furnace reflected, the two reconnected again, and the ice between their souls melted away.

Once again allowing Meluna to face this situation, but with not much change, also indicated that her reversal wasn’t as significant as others.

The black-haired young girl raised her hand, weeping while wiping her tears, resembling a soft high school girl.

"I thought you would never speak sweet words to me again."

Okay, this personality has been quite reversed.

Li Ang found her rather amusing, watched for a while, and then extended both hands, half embracing and half supporting her to stand.

In the script, their previous actual couple interaction remained in a courteous state—Reversed Meluna’s first such contact with her beloved burned her face severely, softly retreating into his embrace.

"Let me tell you a story."

"Okay."

Li Ang thought for a moment, slightly artistically modified the present world’s Meluna and told the story of the "End Sword Saint" starting with her solitary task to save the world, defeating various foes, and attempting to do something more by crossing different world lines, to her in his arms.

It was just like last time, in the latter half of their fierce battle, she emotionally recollected similarly.

"This girl, this Female Swordsman is really remarkable," said the school uniform girl.

Li Ang attempted to awaken Meluna’s original will; he still remembered it was after clearly realizing his heart that he escaped the Reversed State.
