Ex True God In Animeverse - Chapter 88 The Letter from the Otherworld
After Xiao Qiangwei singlehandledly defeated Perseus, everyone turned back at home with the statue of Leticia, when they arrived at their community, they released her from the petrification while Xiao Qiangwei was returning at his room, and told the others to do as they pleased, which was making her their maid.
Xiao Qiangwei was at the house and then looked at his hand, one was normal, without scratches and anything, but the other was petrified, even if he could stop that attack with profound energy, his body is still vulnerable to petrification.
Xiao Qiangwei: *sigh* If I was as strong as I was in my past life… I could just crush everything.
Then he used his profound energy to release his hand from petrification and stretched over his bed, and then he took a deep breath, because he sensed someone coming, so he forced a smile
*knock knock*
Xiao Qiangwei: it’s open.
Then the door opened and Leticia came in her new maid clothes, when she was in front of Xiao Qiangwei, she bowed down.
Leticia: Thank you for saving me, I heard from Kuro Usagi that you did all the work, so I came here to thank you for it.
Xiao Qiangwei just raised an arm and said.
Xiao Qiangwei: it’s ok, it was a bit entertaining take part of my first Gift Game.
Leticia: Mh, if Qiangwei needs something then he just needs to call me.
Xiao Qiangwei: Do you have any beer?
Leticia: Sorry but no, the community is made from children, so there aren’t any alcohol.
Xiao Qiangwei: it’s a shame, I really liked it… Then you can even go.
Leticia: yes.
Then she left the room, leaving Xiao Qiangwei alone, who started again his thoughts.
[meanwhile]
The rest of the group was at outside the mansion to start a talk about a certain argument.
Kuro Usagi: hey guys, I wanted to ask you if you can help me about something.
Izayoi: It’s that, right?
Asuka: what are you two talking about?
Kuro Usagi: it’s about Qiangwei, even if he always smile, he is really sad, I don’t know specifically what happened in his old world, but I wanted to make him really happy, can you three help me?
Yu: Mh, I will do my best.
Asuka: He did almost everything at the last Gift Game, so I think it is a good thing to repay him somehow.
Izayoi: that guy needs to start to really smile.
Kuro Usagi: Thank you guys. So, what do we do for him?
Leticia then came near them.
Leticia: I am here.
Kuro Usagi: How did it go?
Leticia: He is faking the smile.
Everyone sighed and then turned towards her.
Kuro Usagi: Did you find something?
Leticia: It seems that he likes alcohols, especially beer.
Izayoi: then let’s find the best beer for him, anything else?
Leticia just shook her head and everyone started their plan to make Qiangwei happy, until something appeared just some meters from them, it was a black portal, and from it appeared a black figure covered in robes.
Everyone prepared themselves for an attack until the figure raised an hand and said
?: You guys can calm down, I am not an enemy.
Izayoi: Well, if you just appear in front of us from nothing, what do you think we should think?
God: Jist think about me as a God, I am the ‘Backing’ of your dear friend Qiangwei.
Kuro Usagi: Prove it.
God: first of all, I could easily destroy the entire Little Garden with just a gesture, you can even compare my strength ‘Over’ the Realm of the Gods, and no one of you can be really considered even halfway in the second realm.
At these words, Kuro Usagi backed a bit away with a panicked expression, and was ready to protect the childs in the room.
God: And second, I am the one who gave him the Author’s Divinity.
Kuro Usagi was surprised and then calmed down.
Kuro Usagi: guys, you can even calm down, he’s saying the truth.
Everyone did as she said and then Izayoi asked.
Izayoi: so, why are you here?
God: for your same reason, I wanted to make Qiangwei happy, if you guys want, I could talk about his situation.
Everyone had wide eyes and then looked at each others, then they nodded and listened to the ‘Author’.
[2 days later]
Xiao Qiangwei just came out from the bath, even if he could clean himself with his profound energy, he likes the sensation to being cleaned with pure water.
Then Izayoi came inside the bath and sat near him in the giant bath.
Izayoi: so, how’s going life?
Xiao Qiangwei: it is good, but the Gift Game was a bit too easy.
Izayoi: I know how you feel, when everything is just at your range and you need some steps to reach it.
Xiao Qiangwei: Yeah…
They stood in silence for some minutes before Xiao Qiangwei left Izayoi with a bye.
Now he was walking around, and walked out to breath fresh air, the moment he opened the doors, he found Asuka, Yu, Kuro Usagi and Leticia in front of him with a smile and raised their arms.
Everyone: Surprise!!
Xiao Qiangwei just raised an eyebrow before he felt Izayoi touching his shoulder and telling him.
Izayoi: Sorry pal, they already knew of your things, but enjoy this right now.
Xiao Qiangwei’s expression became blank when he heard his words and sighed, then Yu came towards him with a letter in her hand.
Yu: this is a letter for you, we didn’t read it so we don’t know who wrote it.
Xiao Qiangwei got curious and took the letter, before opening it and read.
“Dear Xiao Qiangwei,
Hello dear, heh, who would have thought that the Otherworld is just like a normal one. Well, this guy who was wearing black robes came at me and told me about your situation, and I am disappointed from you.
I told you that you can leave me because you shouldn’t feel sorrow for my incoming death, and you are still sad, my time already ended and I am happy of the life I got being together with you, just stop thinking about me and enjoy the life your are living now, and find your new love.
From Stella Vermillion”
Xiao Qiangwei’s eyes widened when he read who wrote the letter and then fell in his knees while starting crying, and no one moved towards him and watched with a smile.
[later]
He finally stopped crying and got up, then he turned towards his new friends with a smile.
Xiao Qiangwei: Did God come here?
Kuro Usagi: how did you know?
Xiao Qiangwei just gave the letter to her and she read it, at the end of the letter, her eyes widened too, then looked at Xiao Qiangwei.
Kuro Usagi: from the Otherworld? So the girl who wrote this is dead?
Xiao Qiangwei: yeah, Stella Vermillion, she was my wife before coming here, she was a beautiful woman and an amazing person, but had only some moments of life and then the letter came, we talked a bit and said goodbye to each other, but my heart continued to ache just by thinking about her.
The mood got gloomy, but Xiao Qiangwei gave a true smile at them, completely turning upside down the atmosphere and making the five people in front of him happy.
Xiao Qiangwei: but… Thank you all and God for what you did for me.
Izayoi: It’s nothing, pal. But if you find someone strong then give him to me.
Asuka: Well, at least you stopped being sad.
Yu: Mh, you are still our friend.
Leticia: This is the least I could for my saviors.
Kuro Usagi: …beautiful smile…
Xiao Qiangwei: eh?
Kuro Usagi: eh?
Izayoi: Oh? Someone fell in love.
Kuro Usagi blushed and angrily hit Izayoi with a paper fan in his head.
Kuro Usagi: Shut up!
Then everyone started laughing while Leticia came near Xiao Qiangwei with a barrel witb a faucet and an empty glass.
Leticia: In these days I tried to find the best beer for you, since you said you liked it. This is the best one I could find.
Xiao Qiangwei raised an eyebrow before he took the empty glass and used the faucet to fill the hlass with beer, then he drank a bit of it.
Then he left the glass with beer over the barrel and hugged Leticia, making her yelp a bit.
Xiao Qiangwei: This is the best thing I drank in my life! Good-Fucking-Job!
Everyone laughed even more at the scene, and started a little party for Xiao Qiangwei’s happiness.
