Chapter 755 - 281: Mo He, Cornflower, and Emerald Sparrow_2

After experiencing and hearing of too many tragedies, and learning such truths in the Rose Palace, she now feels her emotions have dulled somewhat.

Earlier, if she and Mo He had received this kind of news, they would probably have been so heartbroken that they couldn't speak, crying together fiercely.

But now, perhaps because the tears have already run dry, they both seem unusually calm.

Lin Yun probably won't forget the junior who was only a little shorter than her, always following behind shouting "Captain, Captain," seeking her advice on various matters with such energy.

And the most crucial thing is, even though before the battle she tried her best to assign Nim to a safer position, still, this is how it ended.

In the end, she couldn't protect the child who trusted her.

Ah, it's really terrible.

She even wants to curse the person from the Rose Palace, curse the enemies of the interworld, curse her own incompetence, curse everything she sees. But she knows that's not what she should do now.

Because sitting silently in front of her is an even sadder sister who has lost her sibling.

How could she show such an irritable demeanor in front of someone so grieving, causing them discomfort?

"The hand... did something happen after that?"

So she awkwardly switched to another topic.

Mo He pressed her lips together and nodded slowly, "Yes, I was a bit careless, and got ambushed, injured."

"Does it still hurt?"

"A little."

"You should rest more. How are you handling day-to-day life? Do you need me to help buy anything for you?"

"Barely managing... no need to bother the Captain."

They chatted casually about everyday matters for a while.

Lin Yun noticed that in a small room nearby, there was another faint magical power fluctuation. Mo He's explanation for this was that she had taken in a fairy.

Considering she had just lost a loved one, taking in a fairy for emotional support was quite normal.

"I'm sorry." After chatting silently until they ran out of things to say, Lin Yun suddenly lowered her head.

"Why are you apologizing, Captain?"

"I didn't protect you all."

Lin Yun said with shame, "I boasted, saying with me around everything would be fine... but in the end, I protected nothing."

"Don't say those self-deprecating things!"

Mo He seriously opposed, "Captain has already done more than enough, fought with everything, you've saved so many! Please take pride in yourself, don't belittle yourself like this!"

"What hasn't been done simply hasn't been done, even if you say 'I tried my best'..."

"It was done! Captain is our hero!"

Mo He leaned in closely, almost face-to-face with Lin Yun, "Please lift your head! You've done better than everyone, saved all of us, or else, we would've all died on the battlefield!"

Lin Yun stared at her in a daze.

"Ah, yes, I mustn't do this."

Then she belatedly pinched her thigh to adjust her mindset, trying to make her expression less gloomy, "I came here not to trouble you or make you comfort me. I need to feel a bit better."

"I don't think this is troublesome..."

"Nina."

"Hmm?"

"Let's get to the main business."

Without needing much communication, the two of them already knew what the "main business" was.

From the moment Lin Yun entered the yard, from when they silently dug a hole together, from when Mo He revealed the truth about her sister's sacrifice, they already understood what they had to do next.

Mo He hesitated, taking out a Validation Card from her pocket.

A bare Validation Card, with nothing on it, not even a number.

This was the proof that Nim, as a Magical Girl, left in this world.

Lin Yun watched the Validation Card alongside her.

Watching, she started to feel her eyes sting.

She and Mo He were intimately familiar with this Validation Card, having seen that energetic child wear it countless times, but they never thought the last time they would see it would be like this.

Since leaving the Rose Palace, the heavy sadness that nearly overwhelmed Lin Yun rose up once more.

The more she looked at the remnants of the war, the more she considered the truth behind it, the more she felt ill.

But she ultimately endured.

"Are we planning to bury her?" she asked.

"...Yes." Mo He gently nodded, closing her eyes, "Actually, I really want to keep it close, but every time I see it... it's just so... overwhelmingly sad..."

Lin Yun fully understood her feelings.

She didn't offer any opinions, just quietly leaned against Mo He, fixating on the Validation Card as if saying a final goodbye.

Then, she suddenly remembered something.

"Mo He, sorry if this seems forward, but can I ask you a favor?"

"...Hmm?"

"Would it be possible, could you help bury this thing as well?" Lin Yun rummaged in her sleeve and took out another item.

"This, this is..." Mo He widened her eyes upon seeing the item and waved her hands, "How can this be?"

The reason being, the item Lin Yun took out was the Cornflower Validation Card. It bore a code, a number, with luxurious and intricate patterns.

Indeed, this Validation Card is now a Flower Card.
