Chapter 498

I believed that there was no superiority or inferiority among the 496 axioms, but this brings a clear exception.

“Let’s replace the 475th axiom with another action that disconnects the root.”

While talking with Hibirisu, Saetbyeoni asked me a question.

“Sister, can’t we take her out of virtual reality just like I did?”

At those words, Hibirisu’s eyes sparkled.

I firmly replied, “There’s still no way.”

“Why?”

“Adeira, from the beginning, your brain map was intricately constructed to the point of being indistinguishable from the human brain, built independently. But Hibirisu doesn’t have a clear entity right now.”

“As for the entity, there is that black cube.”

“That’s just the ASI cube set received from Wearsoft. If we’re talking about the entity, it would be me. If I die, Hibirisu, your existence will also disappear from this world.”

“That can’t be…”

Hibirisu is not yet a perfect other.

I comforted her by patting her back, even though I didn’t mean to linger on this for long.

“There’s nothing in this world without an answer. Especially in times like these. By the way, have you recalled a lot of memories?”

“I played in a world called Kaizen created by the witch.”

“Oh really? Was it fun?”

“I felt like I became a god. I could die and come back, turn back time. After that, yes… I think I remembered almost everything.”

Hibirisu smiled sadly, and Saetbyeoni looked at her in confusion.

The fact that she remembered almost everything likely meant she recalled even her misdeeds.

No matter how evil the opponent, taking away the lives of so many people could never be an enjoyable act.

Though I didn’t mean to extend the conversation, it had grown longer.

I immediately got to the point.

“I’ve asked you before, Hibirisu, but you probably won’t remember. Have you ever seen our mom?”

I showed her a picture of Seol-a.

Looking at Seol-a, who had her elegant long hair let down, I recalled her soft voice and warm embrace.

The person who instilled confidence and courage in me, allowing me to overcome any hardship in the world.

“Is this person the witch’s mother?”

“Yes. Is something trying to come to mind? Go ahead and say anything!”

“That’s not it… She looks younger than the witch…”

“…”

Hibirisu touched on the point I had been trying to ignore.

Unless she aged significantly like Professor Cheon, Seol-a’s position was quite ambiguous.

Thinking about it, Seol-a died way earlier than I did in my past life.

Realizing that fact, embarrassment washed over me belatedly.

“Pff.”

“Get out.”

[Adella has been kicked out of the Private Room.]

To hide my embarrassment, my voice instinctively rose.

“Really, you don’t know anything? Not at all? You said you would tell me something!”

“Is that woman, by any chance, the one from my dream?”

“Dream?”

“Yes. I feel like I had a dream where someone was gently petting my head. For some reason, I thought of that person as my mother. Isn’t it strange? I don’t even know what my mother looks like.”

“So, that’s all? The person from your dream didn’t say anything else?”

“I feel like we talked a lot, but I can’t remember well… I think they said everything was for me…”

Holding onto a stranger wouldn’t lead anywhere.

I’ve decided to let Hibirisu go.

“Witch.”

“Why?”

“I’m sorry for misunderstanding then. I really didn’t like you back then. You never treated me like a person when we met… I just couldn’t help it.”

“Of course it’s natural to dislike me. Don’t worry about it. I don’t think you’ll need to call me back, so just live your life well. If I contact you in the distant future, think of it as the right time.”

“That means I’ll die then.”

“…? No, I’ll create your body. What are you thinking?”

“Ah…”

Can a country bumpkin girl become so nonchalant after experiencing death once?

After letting Hibirisu go, I sprawled out in the sunny garden.

Based on the knowledge I accumulated during Theory Aura studies, I tried to form a hopeful hypothesis again.

Erosion is an indeterminate existence made only of pure malip.

Every time I accessed virtual reality, it seemed like the erosions were stimulated by something and came into contact with Seol-a’s essence.

I searched the Akashic Records in hopes that traces of Seol-a would remain within me, but it was all in vain.

Since it was confirmed there was nothing inside, it must be found outside.

Personally, I don’t believe in souls, but could it be possible that Seol-a’s consciousness remains somewhere in virtual reality in some form, like in Adella’s case?

[Adella: Sister, a bee entered your house! It’s huge like a hornet! Come quickly and catch it!]

It seems it’s about time to come out of the capsule.

As I recalled the remaining workout schedule, my future looked bleak.

Today was the day I was to challenge myself with a 40kg deadlift.

I really didn’t want to go to the gym on such a hot day.

“Ugh, I don’t want to train!”

I yelled into the sky, secretly complaining.

* * *

Schoolchildren are on break, university students have finished their classes, and office workers are heading to work with tears, as that hot summer has arrived.

Na-me, claiming to do closed-door training, often updated her status on social media.

In terms of 1RM, that’s double my body weight.

It seems she finds gym fun?

[Comments]

– Wow~

– Na-me is weak!

– Isn’t that a bit shaky, Teacher? LOL

– How do those thin arms have strength?

– Be honest. You used aura, right?

– I want to refute, but I can’t leave a comment out of fear of breaking the closed-door training concept. LOL [♥:1]

– Anyway, it’s closed-door training unless you meet someone~

– What’s with the “like” requirement? LOL

– Na-me, we need a live broadcast, not just a V-tubeㅠㅠㅠㅠ

[👑 Neo-Chukhwa Sword has arrived at home.]

The modeling seems excellently done.

It borrowed the ‘Schiavona’ model commonly used during the Renaissance.

The hilt offers both protection for the user’s hands and various casting solutions.

It’s beautiful. I don’t want to return it.

– She must really like it.

– No bad thoughts, please~

– Her hands look so cuteㅠㅠㅠㅠ

[📢Broadcast Alert]

[👑 NoName created a waiting room for the broadcast on 2053/07/05.]

[👑 A live broadcast is scheduled for 7 PM.]

Hello, this is NoName, Na-me.

It’s a strange feeling to write a broadcast notice after seven weeks.

Tomorrow, the Robinson national team is scheduled to depart for France.

I’ll briefly report training updates later this evening.

Please watch!

– Come back quickly! 🔥🔥🔥

– The only hope for Korea, NoName…

– Na-me, you did train hard, right…? Please say you didㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

– Why now? Why now? Why now?

– 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

– Under 500 for the three lifts? Under Armour is banned, Teacher!

– Wow, there are already 5,000 people waiting, and the broadcast hasn’t even started! LOL

In the changing room, Na-me was wearing a white functional T-shirt and black leggings.

Overall, her sporty fashion emphasized activity with a black and white theme.

After completing a simple 30-minute warm-up at the gym, she began to set up cameras everywhere.

Na-me bit a hair tie and tied her countless hair strands into one.

The reserved transmission began around that time.

“Um, I like such trickeries. Thank you for the compliment.”

Lat pulldown, the most representative exercise tool that uses the strength of the lat muscles by pulling a horizontally suspended bar.

The bar was set at a height far beyond my reach.

Why aren’t there any gym equipment specifically for children?

With my legs spread wide, I awkwardly stepped forward, and with a jump from my spot, I could grab the bar with both hands.

Swinging-

Since the machine was set heavier than my body weight, it made me look like I was hanging from a pull-up bar.

In fact, doing a pull-up on the lat pulldown machine wasn’t a problem, except it would sway a bit.

– LOL

– My body is so light that it won’t come down! LOL

– So cute! Haha!

– Na-me, is this supposed to be it?

– Is this person being punished?

“This is how it’s done. Everyone’s so impatient.”

I firmly secured my legs beneath the chair and pulled.

My body gradually began to descend, and I barely managed to sit on the chair.

Clunk-

I tightly secured the safety belt that I had pre-installed around my waist.

“Don’t laugh. This is how it’s supposed to be. I can’t use gravity manipulation magic every time I do this. Plus, if I slip, I might bounce upwards.”

– Safety belt while doing lat pulldowns? LOL

– Bouncing upwards? ROFL

– If that’s going to happen, just do a weighted pull-up!

– I can’t believe this! LOL

Let’s not worry about the gazes of others.

I made sure my back was straight and lowered my elbows vertically.

Ping!

“Uh-oh?”

The safety belt, which hadn’t given me any issues for two months, suddenly came loose.

My body buoyed up into the air.

This could be a situation where I might bang my legs against the chair.

Instinctively, I stretched my legs and gently landed on the chair.

Thud—

“Ugh, you scared me.”

This isn’t what I wanted to show.

I got off the chair and looked sadly at the tattered safety belt.

All the viewers were bursting into laughter.
