Chapter 237: Chapter 202.1
{Note- This is of when Das was staying at the pce}
It''s been like forever since I came here.
[This library is big]
"This is just the personal collection of my grandfather"
[You mean there are more books?]
"A lot more in the archive"
Have you read all of them?]
"Yes"
[So cool]
"It''s nothing"
[But reading all the books is just awesome]
"I have lived here more than half of my life. This library was like my second room. Whenever I used to get a chance, I sneaked in"
[So you were like this from back then]
"What do you mean by ''Like this'', huh?"
[Reading books and spending time]
"Well, I had nothing to do at that time, aside from my training. Lier was around, butI was an asshole. I never paid attention to her"
[That wasn''t your fault]
"But if I had noticed her feelings, things would have turned out differently"
[Are you not afraid if things would have turned out differently?]
"I don''t know"
[You may have never met Elena]
"That is a possibility"
[And even if you had met her somehow, like some miracle. You wouldn''t have started dating her]
"I am not sure about that. Elena''s grandfather said it was all his n. He made Elena and I meet with each other"
[Is that so?]
"Yes. So I would have gone to that university to get my degree, and her grandfather would have asked for the same condition"
[That you have to go in high school?]
"Yes. And even after that, it didn''t go ording to his n. So he had me tutor Elena"
[So you would have met eventually]
"Yes. And she would have confessed to me"
[But you already have had Lier]
"I know. But Elena said that if by chance I already had a girlfriend, she was ready to be my backup girlfriend or mistress"
[She loves you so much]
"So, I think things would have turned out the same"
[So if you get to travel back in time, would you ept Lier before Elena?]
"Going back in time...something like that is impossible"
[There is much research going on in that field. Someone nearly built a time machine once]
"Don''t believe the inte. Not everything there is true"
[But what if you get to travel back in time?]
"If I do, then I will first go find myself. And then beat the shit out of him"
[Wait why?!]
"Because I was pathetic and idiot"
[Why would you beat yourself? And wouldn''t you be a kid at that time? You will beat the kid? Bad Das]
"Hey!"
[Do you hate yourself?]
"I do. I hate myself. I hated myself until I met Elena. I hate all my memories. I just want to forget--"
[Say no more words]
"What?"
[Your system deleted your painful memories every time you say that. Maybe that''s the reason you don''t remember many things about your childhood]
"That''s not true. I got this system after I yed LWO"
[That may not be a possibility]
"What do you mean?"
[Maybe you had a system a long before that?]
"There is no way that''s possible"
[How can you be so sure?]
"My injuries never healed"
[Hmm]
"I am sure I got the system after ying LWO. And it is somehow rted to it"
[We need to find the reason why you have a system]
"Yeah"
[So going back to where we left. What will you do if you somehow get a chance to go back in time?]
"As I said, I will find my kid-self and--"
[Aside from that?]
"I will go and see the small Elena"
[Creepy]
"Hey!"
[But it was creepy]
"Can''t I go and meet my girlfriend?"
[She wasn''t your girlfriend at that time]
"So what? She is my girlfriend now"
[Still creepy]
"Talking about small Elena reminds me of...just who the hell was that boy?!"
[What are you talking about?]
"Selena told me that Elena kissed a boy when they were kids"
[Oh!]
"What do you think? She was telling the truth?"
[I don''t know. I have only met her once when she logged in as Elena in the game]
"I don''t know if I should believe her or not"
[But why would she lie?]
"I don''t know. She even wanted Elena and I to have a divorce"
[Maybe she is jealous?]
"Jealous of?"
[I mean...you know, maybe she is in love with you?"
''We have simr tastes''
Dammit!
Why did I remember that?
"I don''t know"
[What would you do if she really is in love with you?]
"I don''t know. She is Elena''s twin. And there are too many mixed feelings"
But I hate her for sure.
[I hope Elena will be okay with this]
"Hey...you know. I once had this dream where I was at the beach of LWO. And Elena and I talked about this matter. And the dream ended when Elena said, ''It''s a dream'' and I woke up"
[Your system must have shown it to you]
"Why?"
[You must be worried about that. So your system showed you the possibilities]
"What do you mean by...I wasn''t worried about that!"
[Your heart rate is getting faster]
Dammit!
"Enough talking. Let''s do what we came here for"
[Why did wee here for?]
"To search for more information about the Oyuoral"
[Didn''t you already decide to make a mask from it?]
"I did. But I want to know what it was used for. Why did my ancestors protect it with their lives? Why it was the Edens'' heirloom?"
I almost read all the books again, but didn''t find anything about the Oyuoral.
"This is impossible"
[There is no information about it whatsoever]
"This doesn''t make any sense"
"Found you"
I nced at the door to see Dau standing there, folding her hands.
"Hey, good morning" I said, nervously.
"It''s not morning"
"What are you doing here?"
"What does it look like?"
"Morning patrol?"
"I just said it''s not morning. I was looking for you. You weren''t in your room, so without wasting a single second, I hurried over here. And my guess was right"
"I was just refreshing up some old memories"
"If you are done, then let''s go eat"
"Let''s go"
I couldn''t find any information on Oyuoral at all.
Just what purpose did it serve? And why was it called "The Cursed Ball''?
