Karina was seen standing while holding her stomach which hurt from using too much mana and medium level magic
Karina saw Akira slowly walking towards her and at the same time Karina began to extend her hand to Akira who began to approach her
'hold my hand! quick!
'calm down girl..
Karina said that with a worried expression while Akira just made a weak expression
'gotcha!
'yeah..yeah whatever..
creak! crash!
'urgh!
'Zuko!
Akira's footing floor collapsed causing him to fall but was still held tightly by Karina who was lying down to prevent Akira from falling into the pit of darkness below
'hold on!
'........'
Karina tried to hold Akira's hand even though she was no longer able to because of using too much mana while Akira looked at Karina with a weak expression while thinking about something in his mind
'Karina..
'don't say anything now! let's try to climb! you still have hope!
'ha..you can't help me anymore..not in this situation..
'stop talking nonsense you idiot!
'hahahaha..
'why are you laughing right now! are you insane!
Karina tried her best to help Akira but Akira just made a relaxed expression which made Karina feel guilty
'Karina thank you for all the memories.. the time we spent was not to bad..
'what are you talking about huh!
Akira said that happily while Karina just felt angry and started shedding tears
'stop! hic...stop!...hic.. you still have a hope..hic!
'I feel happy with your crying which means you care about me right now but I'm going to die so stop helping me which will later harm you the main character! I'm just gonna drag you down at this rate! so stop!
Akira said that with a smirk
'what are you talking about! of course I'm worried about you because you are my only trusted comrade! plus I'm not the main character! idiot! so stop and try to get up!
Karina said that with tears in her eyes
'of course you are the main character in my point of view..
'stop talking nonsense!
'Karina don't forget..
'what!
Akira made a smiling expression while looking at Karina who was shedding tears
'we are not comrades.. both of us are just travelers.. who will one day be separated when the time has come
'.......'
Akira said with a smile while Karina just froze upon hearing those words
Karina gritted her teeth as she began to speak
'even so.. just stop! you can't just die! you still haven't fulfilled your life's purpose!
'who say that?
'.......'
'I have long fulfilled my purpose since when I met you for the first time and during our time together until now
'what...
Karina once again froze at what Akira said but suddenly Akira said..
"hahahahah you idiot! I'm just an extra character who is just passing by in the story of your life"
Akira said that while making a happy smile but his eyes had lost their light
'stop!
'.......'
Akira began to let go of Karina's hand and began to fall into the hole filled with darkness
'farewel main character..
'Noooooo!
whoosh!
Akira fell down and began to speak for the last time before disappearing into a hole filled with darkness
Karina who saw that felt extremely sad when she saw her trusted friend leave her forever
'hic..why! hic..
Karina clutched her hand tightly because she failed to save her first friend in her second life
creak crash!
The ancient temple began to collapse followed by Karina who stood up and ran with tears in her eyes
**************
after successfully escaping from danger, Karina saw the big hole while sitting on her knees in front of the hole
'hic..why are you leaving me this time...hic..
Karina did have a chance to save Shirley in this life but failed to save the friend she trusted the most and the first in her life this time
"'I have long fulfilled my purpose when I met you for the first time and during our time together until now'"
Karina remembered those words from her trusted friend.. she understood that those words were directed at her
'hic..Zuko had been in love with me for a long time when he met me he just didn't want to admit it..
Karina realized it too late which made her regret for doubting her feelings before
"I'm crazy about you..
Akira's words echoed in Karina's mind, who was still shedding tears
'im sorry for doubting your feelings..I'm sorry Zuko..
at that time the night was passing followed by Karina who was still crying for her friend
and at that time Karina realized that she was also in love for a long time but was not aware of the situation because they often argued
'im sorry Zuko..
they always make fun of each other but never separate and betray each other
and that adds to Karina's guilt towards Akira
love is blind.. so sometimes you don't even realize that you have suddenly fallen in love with someone even if you feel angry and irritated
'This heart of mine will never belong to anyone but only for you Zuko..
Karina held her chest while shedding tears in the night followed by the bright moon shining on Karina who was still kneeling
Karina managed to forget her first love in her previous life but the price was that she had to once again lose her first love in this life as well
'hic.. I'm sorry..
