Cherreads

Chapter 21 - Possessing Makoto

In the conversation just now, Yilan also used special words.

He did not criticize the Knights of Favonius for their bullying of Eula, because in today's environment, targeting the Lawrence family is politically correct.

So he chose to strike from the perspective of the code of chivalry, and his words were flawless, leaving those knights speechless.

And that's all he could do.

After saying the above, Yilan left.

His identity is special, so it is not convenient for him to have too much interaction with Eula now.

But he would make sure that this situation would not last long.

He had already planned many things…

...

After Yilan left, the crowd watching the excitement gradually dispersed, and Eula finally got rid of all the entanglements and bought what she wanted in the grocery store.

Thanks to Yilan's remarks just now, the grocery store owner did not feel comfortable raising the price of the goods, allowing Eula to purchase the goods at the original price.

For her, this is one of the few good things that happened recently.

Returning to her simple home, she gently pushed open the simple wooden door with a creaky sound.

Moonlight shone in through the crack in the door, tiny dust particles floated in the air, and a letter stuck in the crack fell downwards.

"——!"

Eula quickly caught the letter, held it in front of her eyes, and carefully brushed off the dust on it.

Then turned it on.

A line of neat font appeared before her eyes:

[Efforts will eventually yield results. I hope you can stick to your path and keep going. I believe that one day, people will look at you without prejudice.]

Such letters began to appear a year ago.

Maybe it was a few days, or maybe more than a week, but when she came back from outside, she would see such a letter stuck in the crack of the door.

The letter was unsigned and did not contain any profound truths, but this short line of words made her feel relaxed, as if all the fatigue in her body had been washed away.

She laid down on the bed in one breath, pressing the letter tightly against her chest, as if someone's warmth was still lingering on it, as if she was cherishing something — as if it was the most important thing in her life.

"I've suffered so much, stumbled and fallen, and been laughed at, but I still went on like a fool… All of this is caused by you. I will remember this grudge."

The girl, who was coated with a layer of silver light by the night sky, murmured, with the most moving smile on her lips.

...

It turns out that taking a walk outside is useful.

Although he did not gain any inspiration, at least Yilan gained motivation.

He wants to change Mond's current pathological situation.

Yes, in his opinion, Mond, who seemed to be the most harmonious on the outside, was actually more "ill" than Inazuma!

The problem with Inazuma, after all, is that Raiden Ei doesn't care about worldly affairs, and the following two principles don't interfere in human affairs.

As long as Raiden Ei appoints people based on their merits, all problems can be solved.

But Mond's problems stem from Mond's thousand-year history.

During the Demon War, the King of the Tower ruled the people of Mond with almost oppression.

During the old aristocracy period, the old aristocracy headed by the Lawrence family oppressively ruled the common people.

Power and oppression are pains deeply ingrained in the bones of the Mond people.

Having experienced these two eras, the Mond people have an almost natural wariness and resistance to power and aristocracy.

This is what Yilan realized after traveling through time.

Before the time travel, Yilan thought that Jean was so stupid. She was the supreme leader of Mond.

Although leaders were supposed to be kind and friendly to their subordinates, wasn't it wrong for her to help her subjects find cats and dogs?

Use this time to deal with more important things — even if it's just to clear out a few one-eyed hilichurls outside the city, it would be a greater contribution than this, right?

But after traveling through time, he realized that it was not that Jean was stupid, but that she had to do it.

As one of the three great nobles of Mondstadt and the contemporary leader of the Gunnhildr family, Jean can be said to be the representative of Mondstadt's nobles.

Therefore, she could not refuse the demands of the common people, because once she refused, it might send a signal that "the nobles began to look down on the common people again and wanted to ride on their heads."

It can only be said that there is a reason why Diluc was excluded from the Knights of Favonius and then developed a disgust towards the Knights of Favonius.

Because in the Knights of Favonius, excluding nobles and talented people is the norm.

In Mond, mediocre people are supreme, and civilians are always politically correct!

Why can't Noelle become a knight?

On the one hand, Jean thinks she is not mature enough, and on the other hand, the use of elemental power is not allowed in the combat items of the knight assessment.

——Because the vast majority of civilians are unable to use elemental powers, this is "fair."

"Fuck fairness."

Yilan, who always maintained a sacred and solemn image in front of outsiders, rarely swore.

Therefore, he wanted to stand at the pinnacle of power in Mond and change this unreasonable status quo.

Fortunately, now that he has the life simulator, he believes that this day will not be too far away.

"Begin simulation."

Closing his eyes and meditating for a moment, Yilan said in his mind.

[Simulation starts]

[Current simulation copy: Death of Raiden Makoto]

[Death of Raiden Makoto: The flowers of the World Tree bloom and fall, the earth veins are constantly running, and everything seems to have been predetermined; your task this time is to change the ending of Raiden Makoto in the Khaenri'ah Incident, and reduce Inazuma's losses in the Khaenri'ah Incident]

[In this simulation, you have special permissions. You can create a new character or possess an existing character.]

[Please select your identity]

"I choose to possess Raiden Makoto!"

Since possessing other people cannot prevent Raiden Makoto's death, why not just possess Raiden Makoto? Perhaps there will be more room for maneuver.

[Identity selection completed]

[The Simulation Begins]

[On the first day, you woke up from your sleep and found yourself transformed into Raiden Makoto. You became extremely curious about your female body.]

[You stand in front of the floor-length mirror, admiring your beautiful figure. You can't help but reach out and touch the fullness of your chest.]

"…Have I always been so shameless in the simulator?"

Just then an important message suddenly appeared on the simulator.

[Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door. You quickly tidied yourself up and prepared to wait for the person outside to come in, but at this moment, a voice sounded in your mind:]

["Don't stay here, go out the window quickly, then go to the seaside and towards the cliff."]

[Your choice is…]

[1. Obey and jump out of the window]

[2. Refuse, stay in the room and wait for someone to come in]
