Chapter 127

The only reason I can think of is that one, I suppose.

Sanzenin Shiko.

It seems that is the only reason, after all.

Ren Amamiya did not know whether the diary possessed the ability to resurrect the dead.

However, this did not stop Nagi Sanzenin from striving for it.

Moreover, upon careful thought, the reason that could likely make Nagi Sanzenin reach such a resolution was probably this one.

What is needed now is waiting.

Waiting to see the emotional outburst of the person involved who saw the diary.

Indeed, a reaction was seen very soon.

Noon time.

Nagi Sanzenin lowered her head, suppressing some emotion, and came to Ren Amamiya's seat at the back row.

"Come out, let's talk."

Having spoken, she walked out of the classroom first.

Ren Amamiya nodded slightly.

This reaction showed that his guess was correct.

He followed and walked out of the classroom together.

Keeping a certain distance between them, they followed Nagi Sanzenin to the infirmary.

The infirmary was indeed a quiet place, and also a suitable place to talk.

However, a quite unexpected person was seen inside the infirmary.

The Young Lady maid who had cared for Nagi Sanzenin's growth, Maria.

This maid was not wearing a proper maid outfit, but a white coat, as if she were cosplaying a doctor.

"Hello, Mr. Amamiya."

"Hello, Young Lady Maria."

At this moment, Maria was sizing up the boy before her.

His hair was slightly different from the photo; it looked like it had been trimmed a bit, but the very thick glasses on his face still caused a great effect, making it hard to see clearly.

The temperament gave a somewhat gloomy feeling; the whole person looked very silent, not seeming like someone who liked to talk much.

"Mr. Amamiya, I am troubling you with Nagi's matter."

"No, that was all the diary's own choice."

"Whatever the Sanzenin family obtains is also her own fate."

"However, I need to remind you that everything is a gift from fate, yet fate has also marked the price in the dark."

"When accepting that gift, one must remember that a price must be paid later."

The world is realistic; the world is absolutely not kind.

All gifts are merely arrangements of fate.

Or rather, all benefits are nothing but bait to make people sink deep into it.

When people realize it and want to leave, by that time they might already be deeply sunk in the quagmire of fate.

Ren Amamiya turned his head to look at Nagi Sanzenin.

"You want to use the diary's power to bring your mother back; then the price you need to pay might be that your fate intertwines with mine."

"Although these words sound grand, looking at the diary's rules, that is exactly what it is."

"This price is not small at all."

Nagi Sanzenin bit her lip tightly.

She naturally knew that good things would not fall into her lap without cause in this world.

Born into a wealthy family, she understood too well what so-called equivalent exchange was.

The diary's rules were actually explaining everything.

If you want to gain benefits, stay by Ren Amamiya's side; the diary was simply stating this sentence outright.

If one accepts this sentence, then this is the price paid.

Sometimes, once a connection is established and fates intertwine, what must be faced is a future that will inevitably intertwine with another person.

The diary is like a line, casting out a large amount of bait, constantly attracting fish that cannot resist the temptation to take the hook.

"Are you so certain?"

"I am not certain."

Ren Amamiya showed no pride at all; he just sighed.

"After your wish is granted, the diary will only continue to amplify your desires."

"After your mother returns, can you accept that sooner or later she will turn to yellow earth?"

"Can you accept that the returned mother will leave once again?"

"When one cannot choose, a person can only accept."

"But what about when one can choose?"

"..."

For a moment, Nagi Sanzenin could not speak.
