Trying to Save my Favorite Character from His Tragic Fate - Chapter 166: Arriving to Earth

Lin was young when the goddess extended her hand to him with such an enticing deal.

Without outside help and the knowledge of the strange disease, Lin couldn’t save his village. He has only been leading the village for a few weeks, and his father has left him in the drop of a hat. Those who could guide him have followed his father or are too weak to oversee any procedures.

So what if it is a weird request? The goddess is not asking for someone’s life or anything that harms others. She is a goddess, right? She should have her reasons.

“Where are you sending me?” Lin asks timidly, still too scared to lift his head to face the goddess.

“It doesn’t matter,” Vita replies, “I will bring you back here once you have finished the end of your bargain.”

‘Doesn’t matter? But I am going there! Of course, it matters!’

“You don’t have to worry so much, mortal. I will send you to an upper-level world where you don’t have to struggle hard to survive,” Vita replies to his thoughts while exhaling a lazy breath, “Until when are you going to continue kissing the ground, mortal?”

Lin lifts his head, and a waft of sweet cinnamon smell enters his nostrils. Vita’s eyes are less intense, so his eyes trail to the long pipe in her hand. He stands and coughs when a cloud of smoke smashes his face. He feels his vision blur for a second when he inhales too much smoke.

When the smoke clears up, he sees another goddess standing behind Vita. That goddess looks like a young adult, and she stands just a head smaller than Vita.

“I will leave this to you, Yue,” Vita turns around to walk away.

The smoke coming out of her smoking pipe wraps around her body, and her figure completely disappears when a gust of wind breaks the cloud of smoke.

Yue throws on the ground a scroll, and the scroll opens itself. The magical circle inscribed expands on the surface of the waters. The water wall shoots up, and a portal opens the water wall like lifting stage curtains. Lin follows Yue into the dark portal. As if passing through a layer as thin as paper, Lin arrives on top of a fifteen-store building.

Under a starless sky, Lin would never imagine that the missing stars have fallen onto earth to illuminate the city when the sun is down. He walks to the edge of the building and sees the streets filled with life. He watches people out on the streets with weird refined clothing and carriages without horses. The streets blare in both still and moving lights. Everywhere his eyes landed looks new. He has never seen such genius applications that could elevate living standards this high, especially when this world does not possess much mana.

“So this is an upper-level world?”

Yue smiles and nods, “I picked this one! Do you like it?”

“Ehh… I am not sure… but this world looks intriguing. Goddess… Why did you pick this world?”

Yue lets out some giggles and turns around, heading to the door to get off the roof. Lin follows closely.

Suddenly, something drops to Lin’s foot, and he picks it up. It is a book with the cover of two guys hugging each other.

“Junjo Romantica,” Lin reads the cover, surprised that he can read the language of this world, but he couldn’t understand those words.

He is about to open the book to read more to see if he could actually comprehend the language, and the book disappears from his hands after a blink of an eye.

Yue pouts, “Don’t go around reading other people’s things.”

Lin scratches his head while feeling apologetic, “Sorry… sorry… I was only surprised that I could read the language and got carried away. Was it a diary?”

“Ah…” Yue smiles widely, “Just some records of lovely encounters.”

Kyrie chokes on air when seeing the cover of that so-called book. Ian pats on his back.

“Are you alright?”

“Yeah… Sorry… Just swallowed my saliva wrong…”

Lin looks at Kyrie suspiciously.

Yue leads Lin into an apartment in the building they arrived at. Lin looks around in shock and starts to examine everything.

“Wooooow!” His eyes glisten when sliding his hand over the smooth surface of the wall, “This is amazing. I can’t believe this is actually possible.”

He continues to touch everything. He marvels at the windows made to be so clear, resistant, and big in size. He touches the design on the curtains, and his jaw drops at the consistency of every thread. He smells the couches, making a weird face that the leather does not smell.

Although a normal person would burst out laughing at Lin, Yue burns in embarrassment. That is exactly how she acted when she came to this world. She has no idea until a mother places her hand over her son’s eyes to blind him from such disgrace!

A country pumpkin is what she got called.

How in the actual world could a mother tell her son that a strange lady with weird clothing is marveling over a glass window like it is some kind of godly artifact! Not to mention the horror that the people from the other side have to experience when seeing her face randomly pop out of nowhere! Those spilled fries will never get justice!

Yue squeezes her fingers together, and a force takes hold of Lin in place from attempting to act like he has a furniture fetish. She will spare the man from the agony of remembering such embarrassment in the far future. And she accomplishes just that; while Lin shows his memories, Kyrie has lost half of his HP from laughing too hard.

[So dad is the one who brought many inventions to this world…]

Yue walks up to Lin and pokes on his forehead. Instead of wasting time and letting Lin discover everything on his own, Yue ends up transferring knowledge that she gained while she was in the world foolin- working.

Lin widens his eyes in shock while Yue takes her hand off with an apologetic smile. Lin pales but also blushes at the incredible surge of images in his mind.

‘Oops?!?!’

Yue clearly has over-sent some information about her secret hobby.

Lin takes his hand off his face and questions, “Seriously? They use lightsabers as… as…” He crosses his legs with awkwardness.

How does Lin even know about lightsabers? Well, it is a rather complicated topic. The short answer is that Yue might have confused what Star Wars is all about. The stories are rather interesting, though, and the movies are still a must-watch.
