Chapter 756 - 281: Mo He, Cornflower, and Emerald Sparrow_3

Even though in the Rose Palace she had a falling out with that being, rejecting the appointment of the Sapphire Wand in such an intense manner, her Validation Card still turned into a Flower Card afterward.

Lin Yun didn't want to speculate about the intentions and deeper meanings behind this.

She just wanted to throw this thing away.

"Captain, you've taken enough care of Nim already, so there's no need to..." Yet Mo He clearly didn't know what Lin Yun was thinking.

"It's not just because of that child."

Lin Yun shook her head: "This is also my selfish request."

"Selfish?"

"Yes, because I have already abandoned the code name 'Cornflower.' From now on, I don't plan to use this code name for my activities."

"Abandon the code name? Why is that..."

"For some personal reasons."

Lin Yun's expression was complicated: "I can't quite accept continuing my activities as a Magical Girl under such a code name; it makes me feel very uneasy."

"…Did something happen?"

"Yes, but it's nothing too significant." Lin Yun didn't intend to elaborate.

She was already someone about to leave the Kingdom. Since the wars and conspiracies had ended, the truths she learned at the Rose Palace were better left to rot inside her, taken away alone. After all, even if she spoke out, it would only lead to more people being persecuted, and it wouldn't improve the situation.

Mo He had already suffered enough; there's no need to involve her in these dark secrets.

Hearing Lin Yun say this, even if she sensed there was more to the words, Mo He found it inappropriate to continue questioning.

She simply took the Validation Card Lin Yun handed her and placed it alongside Nim's card in her palm.

"Nim would probably be happy." She said this.

"Would she?"

"Yes, after all, she really liked the Captain. Knowing her Validation Card could be buried with the Captain's would probably make her jump for joy." As if she really saw the scene she described, the corners of Mo He's mouth slightly curved up.

"That would be nice." Lin Yun also prayed quietly.

They remained silent for a while, then Mo He began to act.

"I'll bury them."

"Okay."

The two Validation Cards were placed at the bottom of the pit, and then Mo He started filling it with soil.

In reality, with the abilities of a Magical Girl, even without using a Magic Technique, there were countless more efficient ways to fill the pit, but evidently, those methods were unsuitable for this occasion.

Lin Yun squatted by the pit, watching the two Validation Cards.

The one belonging to Cornflower was lustrous and radiant, a Flower Card, theoretically the highest achievement for a Magical Girl.

Nim's card was rather humble and dusty, not even a White Card, as its owner lost her life at the very beginning of her Magical Girl journey.

Such injustice.

Lin Yun couldn't help but think.

Both dedicated themselves to this country, sacrificed themselves to protect the people, yet the former lived on enjoying praise, while the latter was forgotten after giving her life.

Nim was undoubtedly a very talented child, her life shouldn't have ended like this; if she hadn't died, if she could have lived on, she would surely have become a household hero with her code name in the Kingdom.

But that's just an if.

Now, Nim's Validation Card could only lay silently at the bottom of the pit, and in several years after her death, it would probably be passed on as a new code name to new Magical Girls.

Then, no one would remember this child again.

Lin Yun pondered for a long time.

It wasn't until the Validation Cards were almost completely covered with soil that she spoke: "Mo He."

"What's the matter?"

"I have a rather presumptuous request; if it feels very disrespectful to you, please refuse me."

"Presumptuous?"

"Yes."

Lin Yun pointed to the Validation Card belonging to Nim in the pit, with a serious expression said: "If possible, could I have that Validation Card?"

"Eh? Are you saying you want your own card..."

"No, I mean Nim's card."

Mo He also fell silent.

Because she was beginning to realize what her Captain intended to do.

"Please entrust it to me," Lin Yun requested.

Undoubtedly, this was quite an audacious request, and under normal circumstances, Lin Yun would never easily say such things.

But at this moment, she felt her heart was completely unsettled; she couldn't accept that child's life and career ending in such a dim way. Even if it's just a code name, or even just a Validation Card, she felt this child should witness a broader world.

And Mo He, after a brief silence, used her actions to express her choice.

She dug out Nim's Validation Card from the pit.

Holding that Validation Card, Mo He's hands trembled slightly, but she still turned around and walked over to Lin Yun.

"Captain, after this, what do you intend to do?"

She inquired this.

Rather than a question, it was more a confirmation before entrusting something precious.

"I must return to the Material Realm, and won't be able to continue my activities in the Kingdom."

Instead of immediately taking the Validation Card, Lin Yun gave a thoughtful reply: "I might need some time to truly understand who I am, who I want to become, and as for what I've been long pursuing... perhaps it's searching for my life, and happiness?"

"Sounds quite philosophical."

"Yes, it seems a bit too philosophical."

Lin Yun gave a slightly embarrassed smile: "But now that's truly what I think."

"Mm."

Mo He softly responded, then extended the Validation Card in her hand: "I hope the Captain will succeed."
