~5 min read 843 words

"He, is he that unknown existence?" Tsugikuni Yoriichi has already guessed Lin Ye's identity.

Month 2: You follow Lin Ye to a village, and you live there with him.

Month 3: You discover that living in this world requires something called money, so you decide to hunt some bears to sell. However, Lin Ye shakes his head. He takes you to the seaside and points a finger, and schools of fish jump directly out of the sea.

For the first time, you have an emotion called "shock." You widen your eyes and ask Lin Ye if he is the legendary "god," but he just smiles and says nothing.

Month 4: Lin Ye says he wants to teach you the meaning of life, so you start learning mathematics with Lin Ye. You find that this "mathematics" is extremely terrifying, a hundred times harder than learning swordsmanship!

Month 5: When you proudly finish learning all the mathematics from first to sixth grade and go to find Lin Ye... you are kicked out by Lin Ye to sell fish...

Tsugikuni Yoriichi...

So, you taught me math just so I would know how to do accounts, right!

It must be like that!

What kind of meaning of life is this!

Tsugikuni Yoriichi learns to complain for the first time.

Month 6: While selling fish, you meet a young girl named Uta (there is a translation of a poem/song, but I watched the manga, so I'll go with this).

You learn that the girl's parents both passed away from illness, and she is very lonely, so she wants to keep a pet to accompany her. So you take a fish directly and send her home, and then... you use this fish to stew a pot of soup. The fish soup is very delicious, and Uta drinks three big bowls with tears in her eyes.

Month 7: You and Uta have become good friends. Because Uta has no relatives, she plays with you every day, sells fish with you, and goes home with you.

Month 8: You find Lin Ye and ask him what the meaning of life is, and he points to the girl Uta on the side and says to him:

"When one day you are not going home with her, but waking up with her, you will understand what the meaning of life is."

You are confused.

Year 2: You no longer ask Lin Ye what the meaning of life is. You, Uta, and Lin Ye live together. You find that Lin Ye is always using that hammer to forge weapons there. You are confused, but you do not disturb him.

Year 3: You play with Uta, Lin Ye is forging...

Year 4: Uta plays with you, Lin Ye is forging...

Year 10: You and Uta have grown up, however... Lin Ye has not aged at all! Uta enviously asks Lin Ye if he has any secret recipe for maintaining youth, but Lin Ye smiles and says to you both:

"The day you get married, I will tell you this secret..."

"This... ten years have passed? What have I been doing these ten years?"

Tsugikuni Yoriichi has no idea what happened. In these ten years, Lin Ye taught him nothing but math. If he hadn't been truly happy these ten years, he would have suspected whether Lin Ye was kidnapping children back then.

Year 11: Uta went to wash clothes for you and Lin Ye today. You watch her silently by the river, and you suddenly discover that a beautiful flower has just bloomed at your feet. The flower is very pretty, and you suddenly have an urge to pick it.

You pick the flower, but you don't know what to do. At this moment, Lin Ye appears by your side. Looking at you picking the flower, he suddenly laughs:

"Has the pig in my house finally learned to root for cabbage?"

You feel you have been insulted, but thinking that you cannot beat Lin Ye, you say nothing.

Looking at you like this, Lin Ye suddenly asks, "Do you still want to know the meaning of life?"

You nod.

Lin Ye looks at the flower in your hand and says:

"Life itself has no meaning, but as long as you are alive, you can find many interesting things, just like you discovered the flower, and I discovered you."

"This is!!" Tsugikuni Yoriichi suddenly feels he has grasped something! He feels that this passage from Lin Ye is particularly philosophical, which makes him, who was not very smart to begin with, feel a great impact.

Looking at Tsugikuni Yoriichi, who seems to understand yet seems not to understand, Lin Ye points to the flower, then points to Uta on the side, and says to Tsugikuni Yoriichi:

"Silly boy, what are you still standing there for? Are you going to take this flower home or not!"

Tsugikuni Yoriichi suddenly realizes.

He gives the flower to Uta, Uta hugs Yoriichi, and at that moment, Tsugikuni Yoriichi finally understands what the meaning of life is! ===== CHAPTER 917 =====
