Xyrin Empire

Chapter 336 - 336 336 Leaving

?Chapter 336: Chapter 336: Leaving? Chapter 336: Chapter 336: Leaving? This place was a small, inconspicuous park, established by the city’s managers for the convenience of the public, featuring a modest-sized woodland and several winding pathways through the trees, scattered fitness and entertainment facilities, and a small artificial lake that was quite scenic despite its size. The designer had clearly put a lot of effort into this little park which had no great economic benefit; though it only occupied an unremarkable corner of the city district, the park had an appeal due to its sensible layout.

However, come late autumn, the park’s most attractive woodland had lost its capability to draw in visitors. Furthermore, with the weather gradually getting colder, the place seemed particularly desolate, save for one or two passersby who might have been just passing through or taking a shortcut; there was only a man in his early twenties who appeared to be leading two girls, presumably his little sisters, aged around eleven or twelve, for a light rest.

While at the Moon Base, I had promised Visca that as soon as the dust settled on the Olympus incident, I would take her and Pandora out for some proper fun. Unexpectedly, the only request from this girl was to wander around the city with me and then find a quiet corner to while away half a day—it made sense, too, considering that ever since Visca came to Earth, she hadn’t really had the chance to relax properly. Being on the run with me day in, day out, fighting evil and standing for justice, for her, traveling anywhere on Earth probably didn’t hold much significance, as time-space jumps made global travel a breeze. What she likely looked forward to the most was “relaxing and walking around with Brother,” and the same went for Pandora.

*Sigh*… I never thought walking could be such a tiring activity. I comfortably leaned back on a bench in the park, letting out a long breath. Physically speaking, walking wasn’t too exhausting for me, but when you have someone by your side who’s a walking ‘why’ machine, curious about everything, that’s utterly draining both mentally and physically.

In some respects, Visca and her sister could not be more different, with the most evident contrast being their curiosity about the surrounding world. Pandora was indifferent, calm, and sometimes completely uninterested in whatever she saw, while Visca was the exact opposite. She’s the type who would stop to analyze the chemical composition of a beverage bottle found on the road. This was related to her past experiences, as the former Visca had been in a constant state of confusion—her days filled with meaningless slaughter or inexplicable wandering. It wasn’t until she was taken in by “family” that this period ended. Thus, it was only recently that she truly began to engage with the outside world, and naturally, she was deeply moved by anything new. Moreover, as a clone born without anyone bothering to input any basic data, Visca’s curiosity within the ranks of the Xyrin Apostles was arguably unprecedented. I’ve never seen any Xyrin Apostle who’d squat down to study ants on the sidewalk for half an hour—thankfully, she still looked like an eleven or twelve-year-old girl, so such pure and childlike behavior seemed less odd than it would coming from someone like Sicaro… If that guy squatted to count ants on the ground, I would’ve taken him out before anyone had the chance to commit him to a psychiatric hospital!

Pandora quietly sat next to me, motionless as if she were a delicate doll. That had always been my impression of Pandora; she was so quiet that you wouldn’t realize she was a living person unless you spoke to her. Most of the time, Pandora preferred to be left alone in her thoughts, sometimes for hours without even blinking. She would only turn her head if someone called her name, and if she wasn’t interested in responding, she’d continue her reverie until it was time to eat…

Alright, I knew that beneath that peaceful exterior lay a restless spirit, constantly plotting to conquer the world. If I gave the command, she could probably provide me with a detailed plan for world domination broken down into manageable parts within a few seconds…

But at least outwardly, Pandora was indeed a quiet little thing.

What a stark contrast she was to Visca, who was not far away studying the foliage of a dead tree… Hey! You, red-eyed loli, don’t pull out the whole tree for study!

“Brother! Brother!” Suddenly, Visca came running up to me, a joyous smile on her little face. She held up a leaf in front of me and asked, “What’s this?”

Ah, what an adorable sister, filled with the innocence and fun of childhood…

“Why does the DNA structure of these leaves match that of the seventeen-year-old Chinese parasol tree over there? They don’t look the same, though…”
