(In order to prevent everyone from looking confused, here is a first explanation, in the timeline of this chapter, because the protagonist has ended the simulation, the world of the simulated copy overlaps with the real world, so the shadow has a strong perception, and you will find that there seems to be something wrong with your memory.) In addition, what is described in this chapter is already reality, not a mock copy) Winter

to spring, another annual festival.

This year's festival is different from previous ones.

This year's festival is both a commemoration of the arrival of the festival and a celebration of the end of the war, and many people will come to Kaigi Island.

When the festival officially begins, Ayaka Kamisato, the "hero" representing the shogunate, will sign a peace agreement with the "living god witch" Coral Miya Shinkai from Kaijima.

General Raiden will also be present in person to witness the ceremony.

The night is getting darker, but the whole city is more and more lively, families hang festive lanterns at their doors, and the streets are full of people.

The laughter of children chasing and fighting, the shouting of vendors carrying burdens along the streets... The pain has completely disappeared from the country, and the words of people today are full of imagination for the future.

"It's a pity, originally I wanted to challenge the general, see her thoughtless sword, and let her see my determination by the way, maybe when she sees my determination, she will understand the mistake of the eye hunting order, and then I will become the hero of Inazuma."

Manye's friend said with his hands around the back of his head and a leaf in his mouth.

"I think it's good to have such an ending now, the wind is full of happiness, which makes people feel very comfortable."

Manyo, who was strolling on Hanamisaka with his friends, said with a serious face: "And I feel that if you challenge the Gozen duel, you should die, and I don't want that sad ending." The

friend slapped him the back, and he scolded with a smile: "I'm just joking, you are good at everything, just too serious!" Manyo

stumbled forward, and he looked up just in time to see Kujo Oro chasing Arataki Kazuto running down the street.

Listening to the sound, it seems that Arataki Kazuto lost again with a group of children fighting insects on the street, and in anger, he climbed onto the roofs of various houses, wanting to catch a super strong ghost bug on the spot and duel with the children.

And this kind of disorderly behavior was obviously not allowed, and Kujo Qiluo, who was on duty, immediately chased after him.

He also saw Thoma, the housekeeper of the society, holding a little girl on his shoulder, and the little girl seemed excited that she had suddenly become so tall, and was yelling.

He also saw Goro, the general of Kaigijima, surrounded by a group of enthusiastic people at the Yaedodo Bookstore, looking confused and distressed.

He also saw the little girl from the Naganohara fireworks shop who sold fireworks, busy near the altar with a happy face, as if she was setting up fireworks that would be lit later.

The damage caused by this war seems to be much smaller than expected, especially after raiding the lair of the thief leader Ilan, and countless materials were found from it.

Led by Princess Egret of the Society, the shogunate distributed these supplies to the common people, who had barely eaten enough, and found that they could get more property than they had received from a year's work.

——Of course, all this is all the credit of Raiden General and Princess Egret.

"It's so good, the taste of peace..." Wanye raised his head and took a deep breath of air.

At this moment, I don't know who shouted "Miss Kamisato is going to give a speech", and suddenly the surging flow of people crowded in the direction of the altar.

"Everyone, please be quiet, I have something I want to say to you before the festival starts."

Princess Egret Kamisato Ayaka stood generously on the altar, her delicate face did not apply any powder, she was still as beautiful as before, but it seemed to be a little different, more of a smell of washed lead.

"In the past year, many of us here have experienced the hardships of war, some have lost their property, some have lost their families, and I... It was also in that battle that the most important person in our lives was lost, and it was the most painful memory of many of us in our lives.

"I used to fall into the abyss of despair, living like a walking corpse, but at this time, a man told me that if we who survived the war and were saved were still immersed in pain, then those who sacrificed for us, those who lost their lives for us to have a better tomorrow, were their sacrifices not in vain?" We...... Isn't that negating their efforts?

"So I told myself, I'm going to be strong and survive!"

"Memory should not be a human yoke."

"Memory should be the motivation for people to continue moving forward when they are tired."

"Memory should not be painful."

"Memory should be the antidote to pain."

"Memory is not a load, memory is a bag, a crutch, it is those good memories of the past that support us in the most difficult times, and what pushes us to move forward is the heart that wants to create more good memories."

"Today, the people of Inazuma are gathered here, regardless of whether the residents of Kaigi Island or Narujin Island, whether they believe in Thunder God or Kaiji Daigo, we come to this festival with the same yearning for peace."

"In everyone's faces, I see our future, a world where there is no longer high or low, a world without distinction of race, a world in which justice is the only law, and peace is the common aspiration of all of us."

"The war is over and will not come again, and the flower of hope has bloomed in every inch of Inazuma!"

"Starting today, we cut off the cycle of suffering! Grief is a thing of the past!

"From today, hopes, dreams, and the future are in our own hands!"

"Now, let's cheer for the festival that is coming, pray to Thor, and pray for the peace and longevity of all dreams in the world!"

Thundered!

With the end of Kamisato Ayaka's words, countless fireworks flew into the sky, blooming beautiful fireworks.

Under the sky, the crowd near the altar was completely plunged into a sea of frenzy, and they hooked the necks of strangers next to them and cheered, with tears in the corners of their eyes, but without the slightest sadness.

......

"It seems that she has really come out completely, and she has become more mature and strong." Located in an attic on a high ground, Yae Miko said while eating a bunch of oily tofu.

"..."But there was no response from around him.

She couldn't help but stretch out her elbow and poke the person standing next to her: "Ying, why don't you speak?" "

No, I just feel that something strange lately, as if something is wrong..." said Shadow with some discomfort on his forehead.

"Hey, Shadow, you shouldn't be having something wrong with your body, right?" Yae Miko said with some concern: "When it is really necessary to fight the wear and tear retreat, Inazuma needs you to stand up, and it is time for you to go up and preside over the peace signing ceremony immediately."

"It's okay, I'll go right away." The shadow shook his head, sensed that there was indeed nothing wrong with his body, and walked towards the altar.

But in the process of going to the altar, she suddenly remembered something...

I remember my sister said before the retreat that if you heard a person's name, wake her up, and that person's name seems to be...

Aeon?!!

Why did I forget such an important thing before?

......

In the presence of Raiden Shogun, Kamisato Ayaka, who represents Inazuma, and Shinkai, who represents Kaigei Island, finally sign a peace agreement.

And this agreement, which Ilan created before leaving this world, refers to the "one country, two systems" in his previous life, and then made some modifications according to the local situation.

In short, both the people of Narugami Island and the people of Kaijima Island are satisfied with this agreement.

After ending the signing of the agreement, Kamisato Ayaka declined various requests for invitations and came to the top of Ganjin Island alone.

Now that this small piece of land has been contracted by the society, Kamisato Ayaka has built a small crown mound for Ilan here.

She knelt in front of the crown grave, took out a few fireworks that children played with, and put them on the ground to light them, and then took out a letter from her arms, unfolded it and put it on the fireworks to light it.

As the letter burned, the handwriting gradually turned into ashes and disappeared:

[See the letter is well, brother.]

Are you doing well in another world? I'm doing well now, and I've come out of my grief.

- Too cunning!

I actually said to people, "You are the continuation of my life in this world, if you die, no matter how many things I do, no matter what the world has become because of me, it has nothing to do with me, and my life will become meaningless."

The families had to struggle desperately to survive.

...... Until this time, I still used my brother's words as my motivation to live, so am I too immature? Am I still the little girl hiding behind my brother?

Naw, brother, you know what? Today is another festival, and fireworks are lit on Gankin Island to celebrate the end of the war, which is grander than any previous year, but even so, there is no beautiful scenery that my brother saw when he was around.

Naw, brother, you know what? Your plan was successful, there were almost no civilian casualties in the war, and everyone had a rich year after distributing your stored food.

Naw, brother, you know what? The people of the Great Imperial God of the Sea and the people of the God of Thunder have put aside their prejudices about each other, and now they are all like a family.

...... Every time I stand on a high place and look at the lights of this peaceful house, I think how good it would be if you could stand by my side and I would rely on your shoulders to share the joy of my heart with you.

Naw, brother, you know what? The Eight Great Beings and the Sea of Hearts actually said to me that there are many doubts about your death, perhaps you are now living in this world in other forms, because when you lost your breath, your body actually turned into particles of light and dissipated little by little, and there was not even a corpse left....

Of course I knew they were lying to me and trying to comfort me with such words.

But if what they say is true, one day I will really see you again somewhere in this world....

Then the brother who cheated on his sister so much will be punished very cruelly.

I'll put you in the basement so you can never live without Ayaka....

Hee-hee, of course this is a joke, how could the gentle and elegant Ayaka do such a thing.

...... But

if, I mean if...]

Kamisato Ayaka held the one-handed sword Wave Rushi Moon Shiraku Sumitsu in her arms, that was the only thing my brother had left in this world.

Although there is no temperature anymore, it is real, and the smell of my brother remains.

The mind is such a thing, there is no form.

If you just pursue simple physical phenomena, perhaps the inner fullness is just simple electronic signals and chemical reactions.

However, this is something that human beings can hold on to for a lifetime.

"It's possible that your brother is still alive."

This is what the eight major people told themselves.

She knew that this was mostly comforting herself, knowing that the eight major people wanted to use this way to give themselves the motivation to live.

But.

Even so.

Even if there is only a one in six trillion chance, she will carry hopes and memories with the two, looking forward to a miracle.

If one day, we can actually meet somewhere....

"I will tell you what I have always hidden in my heart because I am too shy to say it."

The girl was holding a long knife in her arms, her ice-blue eyes stared at the brilliant fireworks in the sky, and a trace of tears overflowed from the corners of her eyes.

"That would be the warmest and sweetest word in the world."

......

......

"Hmph! It's just a farce!

On the roof of an attic, skirmishers made disdainful voices as they watched the bustling scene below.

The clever skirmish says that he has seen through everything!

"Oh? How to say? The lady asked from the side.

"This war seems to have been fought vigorously and many people have died, but if you think about it, you will find that this war has hardly had any negative impact on Inazuma, and almost no civilians have even died in this war, which is simply not normal!"

"You mean this is a play that Inazuma showed us?" The lady also reminisced.

"It's a scene where the man and the woman conspire! The man provoked the war, and then the woman quelled the war and gained fame by the way... Hum! It's a good plan, good cooperation! Now it seems that those two people really have a good relationship! The

skirmish pressed the cloak on his head to cover his complicated eyes, and he flicked his sleeves off the roof, and his voice floated from afar.

"If my guess is correct, that man is definitely not dead, he is still alive somewhere in this world, and one day, we will finally meet again, and then it will be my moment of shame!"
