Find a Troubled Girl after leaving the Guild

Though I say visit, it was quite inaccurate; when Li Ang saw her, she seemed to be wandering around searching for something.

"What are you doing?"

Li Ang’s question startled the former "Savior," who appeared as a small young girl. She pouted and said, "I’m looking for Bunny."

"Isn’t she right there?"

Li Ang glanced towards the pink-haired divine incarnation half-sleeping with a bottle of wine.

"That one, huh."

Meimei hesitated and said, "Spirits have many incarnations. That one’s indeed the main avatar of the Water Dragon, but the one I’m looking for is—"

"To you, the Water Dragon, whether in dragon form or human form avatar, both seem unfamiliar?" Li Ang asked.

Meimei looked at him thoughtfully and nodded.

Li Ang sighed and still told her about the struggles with Meluna, causing the form of the Moon Concealing Rabbit to become difficult to maintain.

"Is that so?"

The now no longer pretending innocent young girl, Meimei, didn’t react much and just silently accepted the fact.

Li Ang thought of her experiences before reincarnation and felt quite empathetic.

From his perspective, he could understand in part but not fully resonate.

This partial understanding came from playing lengthy CRPG games on Earth, where each decision and encounter could lead the storyline in different directions, yet some things felt like a struggle he couldn’t overcome.

But to continuously struggle and still watch the world being pushed to the brink of destruction, this helplessness could be comprehended through games, though likely just one percent or even less compared to actually experiencing it, making it impossible to resonate, only to understand.

Having witnessed so much death and experienced farewells, some emotions become numb, and some values change significantly.

Perhaps being separated from the Moon Concealing Rabbit, once a constant companion, is just a part of countless farewells, making her so calm.

Thinking so, Li Ang noticed tears suddenly fall from the corners of Meimei’s eyes.

The tear tracks slid across her cheeks, her eyelashes quivered gently, and her eyes overflowed with tears, her crisp voice turning soft and mournful.

"I just kept thinking, if I had another chance, I would definitely do better."

"Perhaps."

Li Ang thought of those reincarnation novels he’d read before; logically, having another chance to do better wouldn’t be an issue.

"It’s just that you can’t eliminate this iteration’s ’Savior’ as a means of restarting, regardless of who they are, it doesn’t actually hinder your effort to save Nebis."

Meimei wiped her eyes, saying, "I’m sorry, I failed again."

She sniffed, calmed her turbulent emotions, and tried to keep her voice steady.

"Actually, I’m quite foolish, always being helped and protected, but I’ve never really stood up to do things well."

She squatted on the ground, hugging her knees and burying her head.

"I already don’t know what to do. This world seems like it doesn’t need me."

Messing up, Li Ang thought as he looked at her slender back.

Not knowing where to go is reasonable initially, but this fellow, perhaps overwhelmed by too many failures, or perhaps like Meluna she wasn’t properly educated, seems to have more people taking care of her compared to the black-haired Female Sword Hero, yet she never settled down to learn, constantly changing environments, resulting in her being less pure than Meluna.

This causes her to have problematic views on many matters.

"Firstly, the formal battle with the Empire hasn’t started yet."

Li Ang crossed his arms and said, "Secondly, accepting mistakes so decisively and burying your head is also a form of escapism. Think clearly about what you want to do afterwards and how to do it properly."

Meimei’s back tensed, and after a silent moment, a buzzing voice came from the gaps where she buried her head, "Those who bullied me spoke as if they were right and just."

"You little brat." Li Ang clenched his fist tightly with the Demon’s Hand.

"If you hadn’t tried to kill me, would it have come to this? Pfft, I can’t be bothered with you; think for yourself. But there’s one thing, you have to apologize to Lord Water Dragon, you won’t refuse to be her Deputy, right? Anyway, if she gives you instructions, you don’t have to think."

Meimei lifted her head, eyes red, glaring at him with resentment but unable to retort.

Li Ang turned and walked away; he was busy with his own matters, interrupted by this troublemaker.

Creating equipment, then heading to the City of the Ship’s Rudder.

He walked to the previous Weapon House and explained to the shop owner about an unexpected incident. Fortunately, Huan Ye’er City currently had no weapon demand, and everything around the Forging Furnace stayed the same, causing no trouble.

Li Ang sat down again, started the furnace, and continued his work.

The useless practice materials were quickly processed into various materials and solutions, then crafted into pieces of equipment. With the system’s support, everything flowed smoothly, and his equipment creation experience steadily increased.

Meimei picked up a fish scale light armor he had just forged, flipping it back and forth, examining it.

This fellow had followed him all the way.

Of course, besides her, there was Meluna here. She leaned against a pillar like a ghost within the room.

Li Ang peeked, and according to logic, those four should have been the most inclined to follow. He had just spoken with Akuya and saw them sitting together discussing something.

Meluna saw his movements and said, "I drove away the fox spirit."

Alright then.

"I saw them sitting outside in one of the shops," Meimei said.
