Chapter 943 Chapter 943: Love on The Spectrum

"...We should have traveled like this from the start."

Miss Pepondosovich had her eyes closed, just letting what little wind hit her face. She had her back turned on the ground, opening her eyes from time to time to watch the scenery above her change each time. Just moments ago, they were in some sort of snowy region, and now they were in a wide desert — paths they had already taken when their adventure was still young.

Esme was also just casually floating beside her as they traveled at an unknown speed. Unlike Miss Pepondosovich, however, Esme had her legs crossed; her eyes, reflecting Riley who actually had them tethered to him by an invisible chain.

"This is very comfortable, Miss Pepondosovich," Esme nodded, "Although I only have vague memories of it, I remember being dragged around inside a glass cage by Master when I was still an undead."

"Huh..." Miss Pepondosovich turned her head up as she also took a glance at Riley, "...Must be nice to have recent memories of actually being outside this place."

"...My true recent memory outside of this place is my people eating each other, Miss Pepondosovich."

"Right..." Miss Pepondosovich could really only sit up as she heard Esme's words, "...I guess once Riri's gone, it'll only be you and me here, huh? But then again, maybe in a few hundred years or so, we won't even be together and you'll start your own adventure."

"I do not know what the future holds, Miss Pepondosovich," Esme shook her head, "Perhaps you should have asked Miss Marleen's ex-lover."

"Oh, I almost forgot about that man. He just suddenly disappeared and didn't show himself again."

"I heard him and Miss Marleen fighting before he disappeared, Miss Pepondosovich."

"Yikes," Miss Pepondosovich winced, "That's why I am telling you now, Miss Esme — if you are going to get a lover, choose wisely. You will really only ever get to be with him once."

"I... do not understand what you mean, Miss Pepondosovich," Esme tilted her head to the side, "Why would I only ever get to be with my future lover once when he will be with me for a duration of time?"

"He'll change," Miss Pepondosovich looked Esme in the eyes, "You'll change, everything around you will change... the love between you will change. You will really only get that version of him you fell in love with for a very short time."

"But..." Esme could not help but blink a couple of times as she looked to the side; seemingly deep in thought, "...My father and mother have stayed together for thousands of years right until Mother ate Father, Miss Pepondosovich."

"...Right," Miss Pepondosovich squinted her eyes as she did not really know what to say in response to the sudden morbidity of Esme's words. She and Riley truly do have a lot of things in common.

"...I also don't know the future, Miss Esme," Miss Pepondosovich let out a small chuckle as she shook her head, "Who knows, the case might be that the only thing that is constant in this life is time, change, and Riri."

"I am capable of change, Miss Pepondosovich."

And as he was starting to get involved in their conversation, Riley reduced the distance between him and the two as he joined them,

"I just don't."

"And the reason for that is...?"

"Because I do not deserve change," Riley said without any hesitation, "All of the people that have died by my hands can never experience change anymore, why should I?"

"...You really do care about the people you have killed, huh?"

"I do, that is why I give them the best and worst death possible," Riley nodded in satisfaction to himself.

"Right... I forgot who I was talking to," Miss Pepondosovich could really only sigh at Riley's words. Soon, however, she stood up and pointed forward as the scenery around them became verdant, "Better slow down, we're getting near the City of Summoners. It's only a couple of—what happened here?"

Not even a second after, however, the moving verdant view suddenly turned dark, making Riley just abruptly stop his flight — and there, the three just suddenly found themselves surrounded by nothing but withered and dead grass.

No, the grass was not just dead, something else happened to them which turned them almost into tar.

"You better not drop us, Riri," Miss Pepondosovich quickly commented as she looked at the ground, "And... what happened here? Everything seems...

...dead."

"Hm," Riley nodded as he looked in the direction where the City of Summoners is, "I do believe I know why, Miss Pepondosovich...

...I can feel my clone nearby."
