[A Moment But Forever]

[Episode 16]

It's getting dark.

Shouldn't we

find a place to stay for the night?

There's a house ahead.

I never expected

to see you

again so soon, sir.

I knew

you'd come to my place.

Come in.

Come on, come on.

Come in.

[Library]

Is it

usually just you here, sir?

Yes.

I am the caretaker of this library.

You can call me Bao.

This library

looks quite old.

I wonder when it was built.

Oh, that was a long time ago.

Back then, when the Mute Goddess of Wu Mountain

passed through this area,

she saw the people living in poverty,

so she used her magic

to instantly create this library

to spread knowledge and enlighten the people.

If you really want to count the years,

it's been several hundred years.

The Mute of Wu Mountain?

Yeah.

You've heard of the Mute Goddess too?

I've heard that she was very knowledgeable,

kind, and intelligent,

and that she did a lot of

good things for the people.

This book records

many of her past deeds.

How much can such a thin book

really record?

There are many legends about the Mute Goddess.

When I have time later,

I'll tell you all about them.

There are over a hundred

libraries like this in the Eastern Wilderness,

all built by the Mute Goddess.

The collections inside

were all left by her.

Too many to count.

These are all treasures

the Mute Goddess left for us

to pass down from generation to generation.

She was really amazing,

not only helping common people

by doing so many good deeds

but also writing so many great books.

Yes, indeed.

Young lady,

the Mute Goddess of Wu Mountain is a god.

A god?

Yeah.

She descended from the heavens, riding a phoenix.

Wherever she went,

deserts transformed into lush oases.

Vicious thugs would abandon their wicked ways

upon seeing her,

while the kind-hearted would

receive blessings

and good fortune.

And the ignorant,

those simple and foolish ones,

would become extremely intelligent

the moment she touched their heads.

But why

is she called the Mute Goddess?

Is it because...

she couldn't speak?

The Mute Goddess possessed boundless magical powers.

Her words commanded reality.

Whatever she said would come true.

So,

she rarely opened her mouth to speak.

Isn't that a bit

exaggerated?

How am I exaggerating?

Everything I said is true.

It's all written in the books.

Come on, come on.

I'll find them and show you now.

No need, no need.

Reality and legend

are two different things, after all.

Reading it would just be a waste of time.

So you're saying

everything written in the books is false?

This library sheltering you for the night

is fake?

Even all the good deeds

that the Mute Goddess did

are just made up?

That's not what he meant.

Then what did he mean?

Since all the people of the Eastern Wilderness

all tell these stories

and are willing to worship the Mute Goddess,

there must be a reason for it!

Since you're now

taking shelter in one of the libraries

she built,

you should respect her

and be grateful to her!

Bao,

where are you going?

Don't call me "Bao."

We're not that close.

Wait,

where are the rooms?

Downstairs. Find it yourself!

This is a storage room.

This Bao is not being very hospitable.

Just make do.

Why complain so much?

Just now,

why didn't you let me speak?

I just thought

that since we're

staying at someone else's place,

even if you don't want to agree with him,

at least you shouldn't make him angry.

I don't think she's acting.

She's probably not the Mute Lady of Wu Mountain.

You've written this character wrong.

Why are you

standing behind me without making a sound?

You startled me.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to disturb you.

But

you did write that character wrong.

Impossible.

I copied it from the book exactly.

Look,

that book of yours

has been damaged by bookworms.

This phrase should be

"Winter ice can be broken;

summer twigs can be tied."

It means

that in winter, we obtain ice,

while in summer, we can gather twigs.

See,

there's an extra dot here.

You're right.

I misread it.

Well...

Bao,

you can't read?

That's right.

Then... how do you write?

Just copy it exactly as I see it.

I copied it wrong,

and I've copied so much.

I need to correct them quickly.

Do you have to recopy everything?

That's not necessary.

I only copied this one character wrong.

So,

I just need to recopy this page

and rebind it later.

But

if you can't read,

why are you

copying these books?

Although the Mute Goddess of Wu Mountain

watches over us,

we still

need to do our part.

These books are very precious.

These books are vulnerable

to fire, moisture, and insects.

So I figured

I should make more copies.

If they ever get damaged or destroyed,

at least there will be backups.

That way, the children won't

be left without books to read, right?

Even though

fewer people read books these days,

there will surely

be more in the future.

Then let me help you copy them.

That's great!

One piece for Yuanzhong.

One piece for me.

One piece for Zi Fei.

One piece for me.

One piece for Ji Tanyin...

You think you have too much?

No, whether it's too much or not is one thing,

but is it appropriate to divide it like this?

Aren't I just dividing it in order?

What order?

My order.

What's wrong?

D-Did I write something wrong?

Your handwriting...

is very good.

Wait a moment.

Let me show you something nice.

These are the original manuscripts

left by the Mute Goddess of Wu Mountain.

Only these few volumes remain now.

Take a look.

Right? Doesn't it look similar?

Your handwriting

is just like the Goddess's.

Both are written very well.

Bao.

What was

this place called before?

Rammed Earth City.

That's not right.

A long time ago,

the river to the south

hadn't split into multiple streams yet.

Whenever there was heavy rain,

it could potentially cause flooding.

The landscape at that time...

was quite different from what it is now.

Oh, you mean back then?

At that time, this place was called Chaotic Cloud Village.

This area had strong winds and many clouds.

The dark clouds in the sky...

well...

Anyway,

it was very chaotic around here back then.

That's why it got that name.

Later, the Mute Goddess

built the library using the rammed earth technique,

and then more and more people settled here.

So it was renamed Rammed Earth City.

Chaotic Cloud Village...

No wonder this place felt

somewhat familiar on my way here.

Chaotic Cloud Village...

When I came here back then,

there were only a dozen households.

Those books were also mine.

Could I be the Mute Lady of Wu Mountain?

But why would they call me "Mute"?

Oh, right.

When I crossed the Sea of Flux back then,

I was severely injured.

My throat hadn't recovered yet.

So I was indeed both deaf and mute at that time.

But I didn't ride a phoenix,

nor did I have the power to make my words command reality.

Why are you still up?

I'm not tired yet.

You weren't here just now.

Where did you go?

I went to copy books for Bao.

Don't listen to his nonsense.

The phoenix is a divine beast

with a proud nature.

It would never

serve as a mount for anyone.

That Mute Lady of Wu Mountain

did have some power,

but she was far from

being able to command reality with her words

or enlightening others with a mere touch to the head.

Our clan also has some

legends about gods,

but none as powerful

as that.

Then why

do they still spread such stories?

So-called legends

are nothing more than

stories passed down orally by people.

Since these are stories,

there are

some embellishments and exaggerations.

To make the stories stand out,

people add

their own speculations and interpretations.

As these stories spread from person to person,

they become more and more far-fetched.

Rather than saying they believe in and worship gods,

it's more accurate to say they hope the gods

are as they imagine them to be,

doing what they hope will be done

and fulfilling the wishes they long for.

So,

although they worship the Mute Lady of Wu Mountain,

in reality,

they are worshipping

their own expectations for a better life?

Sort of.

Why do I feel

that you seem to really dislike

the Mute Lady of Wu Mountain?

Why should I like her?

Come on.

Take this to eat on your way.

That's not necessary.

We already have plenty

of food.

This is jerky I made myself.

It tastes really good.

Take it, take it.

Thank you, Bao.

There are books inside.

Read more books when you have time

and learn more things.

Don't stay a handmaiden to someone else.

Not only is it exhausting work,

but you're bound to be mistreated.

Well, he

just likes to get into the details sometimes

and is not good at saying nice things.

But actually,

he's a decent person.

Oh, right.

He asked me to leave this for you.

Give it back to him.

I don't want his money.

He already knows that he was wrong.

He's just too proud—

too embarrassed to apologize to you in person.

So he left this

as an apology.

Really?

That brat...

is not that bad.

What's wrong?

Kai Shan snored too loudly last night.

I didn't sleep well. My eyes hurt.

Then rest a bit more.

Do your eyes still hurt?

How are you feeling now?

Where did you learn that?

Just...

read it in a book earlier.

Don't bother learning

this nonsense.

What's wrong?

That wasn't helping?

I think it feels quite nice.

I'm going to sleep.

Don't disturb me.

The size here

needs to be adjusted again.

Okay.

This part still needs to be modified.

This really won't do.

It's too much!

Yes, that's it.

Young Master,

look who's here?

-Young Master. -Young Master.

Chiyi, Xiazhi.

How are you doing?

Everything's fine.

Just... not quite used to living here.

The High Priest said you would come to us.

We've been waiting for you for a long time.

It was the High Priest

who saved our lives.

He cares about all of you.

It was all my fault. My reckless actions

nearly cost you your lives.

Young Master,

please don't say that.

From beginning to end,

this was all our own choice.

Young Master,

you've come to Yandu

to discuss joining forces with the human race

against the War Demon?

Yes, that's exactly why.

What's wrong?

Young Master,

there's been unrest in Yandu lately.

Have you heard about the Wushuang Society?

This Wushuang Society

is a human organization

that first surfaced

over a decade ago.

From the Eastern Wilderness to the Western Desert,

wherever there are human activities,

there are their members.

They claim

to serve the "Goddess Wushuang"

and say that the Youhu Clan

is the greatest threat to the human race.

In secret, they've been rapidly recruiting members,

growing ever more ambitious.

In recent years,

they've completely gone underground,

with unknown intentions.

There's an organization like that.

Xiazhi and I

stumbled upon some clues.

This Wushuang Society

seems to be secretly supporting

some people in the city

to trade with the War Demon.

Is this true?

There's absolutely no speculation.

It has been confirmed

that there's a Green Garden Trading House in the city

secretly trading in raw stones.

The amount is so large

that it's dozens of times

what's recorded in their accounts.

And all of these raw stones

are being transported to the Eastern Wilderness.

The Eastern Wilderness?

Before I left Baitou Mountain,

the High Priest gave me a clue.

It's about the War Demons'

hiding places in the Eastern Wilderness.

But we're in Yandu now.

We should first follow the trail

to find their contact person.

Xiazhi and I

have investigated secretly several times,

but they are heavily on guard and vigilant,

constantly leading us in circles.

However,

we're not completely empty-handed.

What did you find out?

The current proprietor of Green Garden Trading House

has been to Fangwai Mountain before.

This woman is named Lyu Yao,

the only daughter

of the former proprietor of Green Garden Trading House.

Because she admired our Youhu Clan,

at the Handmaiden Selection,

she passed through numerous tests

and became

a handmaiden at Fangwai Mountain.

Later, due to her father's sudden death,

she returned home for the funeral

and never went back to the mountain.

Humans have always valued filial piety.

Is there anything suspicious about this?

But her father,

that former proprietor,

had already died three years ago.

Young Master,

what's wrong?

Nothing.

Let's go.

Who are you?

Young Mistress Dai?

Quickly, report to the Young City Lord.

Yes, sir.

Greetings, Young Mistress Dai.

[City Lord's Mansion]

-Greetings, Young Mistress Dai! -Greetings, Young Mistress Dai!

Dai.

Is it really you, Dai?

[Zhi Yue; Young City Lord of Yandu; Human]

Zhi Yue

greets Elder Sister.

That eastern pavilion

and this corridor

were both newly built two years ago.

The pond in front

has remained unchanged.

The elders in our family say

that when I was little,

I often sneaked in there to play.

I got scolded quite a bit for that.

Dai,

do you remember?

When I left,

you were just

a mischievous little child.

This used to be a training ground, right?

I remember that Father

often practiced martial arts here.

Where is Father?

After taking

the Essence Nourishing Pill that Shen Ying sent,

he has been in seclusion, absorbing it.

I believe that in a few more days,

he'll be able to come out and see us.

If he sees that you've returned,

he'll surely be overjoyed.

Dai,

after Father takes the pill,

will he return to his youth like you?

I don't know.

Maybe.

These years, I've often wandered abroad,

and you've been helping Father

with everything at home.

Thank you for your hard work.

There's no need to say such things among family.

Dai,

having you back is better than anything.

I'm very pleased to see that you can now

handle things on your own.

Dai, you flatter me.

There used to be a rockery here,

but it collapsed due to heavy rain,

so we simply removed it altogether.

The buildings behind

were all built at the same time.

There's also a terrace on the top floor.

On a good night,

it's the perfect place for moon-gazing and drinking.

[Ningrui Pavilion]

This place

hasn't changed at all.

Father doesn't allow anyone to move things around.

Servants clean here every day,

and everything is arranged as it was.

It's exactly the same

as it was when you left.

I was too willful back then.

Zhi Yue.

I found something

on my way back this time.

What is it?

Dai, what is it

that makes you so cautious?

The War Demons have returned.

This is no joke.

Are you sure?

I'm sure.

The War Demon used the possessing technique

to harm the Youhu Clan

and also killed one of our human handmaidens.

I originally

wanted to leave this matter for Father to decide.

But given the current situation,

I'm afraid the War Demon will have already begun

causing havoc by the time he comes out of seclusion.

This is a matter of great importance.

Dai, your information is very timely.

[Orange Lake]

We've arrived.

Finally, we can have a good meal.

Let's find an inn to settle in first.

Okay.

[Turn Around]

Today's room fee is five mace;

taking care of him costs one mace,

one and a half mace,

plus three mace for medicine later.

That's 9 mace.

And there's this...

The Mute Goddess of Wu Mountain,

please bless me, Yunniang,

that fortune flows in while sitting at home,

wealth falls from the sky,

easy marks come every day,

rich and generous they'll be,

the penny-pinchers stay out,

and the ugly ones don't make trouble.

Madam,

there's almost no money

left in this money pouch.

Should we throw that guy

out now?

Go to the kitchen and get a knife.

Let's just...

end him with one slash.

No, no, no.

Madam,

I mean, sure,

he owes us some money,

but we shouldn't kill him for that.

Killing someone is against the law.

How would we live afterward?

Oh, so you do know that?

He's so severely injured!

If you throw him out now,

how is that any different from killing him?

Have you lost your conscience?

But that wasn't my idea.

Weren't you the one who instructed earlier

to throw him out

when his money runs out?

I was just saying that casually!

Can't you just take it lightly?

Did you really have to take it so seriously?

We have customers.

Si, we have customers!

Dear customers, are you here to stay

or to dine?

To stay.

Four deluxe rooms.

What a coincidence!

Our inn has exactly four deluxe rooms available.

Please come in.

Si!

Take care of their carriage

and feed the horses well!

Got it.

Come in.

Please come in.

San,

take the customers upstairs!

Got it.

Come on,

this way, please.

Please come in, dear customers.

What do you think?

Are you satisfied?

It's good.

Then I won't disturb your rest.

Hey, buddy.

I'd like to ask you about a place.

Do you know how to get to Orange Lake?

This is Orange Lake, right here.

I'm talking about an actual lake,

not our town.

Oh, you mean that lake.

Yes.

It's over on the west side of town.

Would you mind

showing me the way?

Sure, no problem.

This way, please, sir.

Then I'll go with you.

You should go back to your room and rest.

Zi Fei and Kai Shan will accompany me.

Then...

I'll prepare some food for you

for when you return.

Come in.

I'm Shen Ying, the Foreign Affairs Scribe of Yandu.

Greetings, Mr. Tanghua.

Please, have a seat.

Thank you, Mr. Tanghua.

May I ask why you've

summoned me here?

When I was on the tower ship,

I already told you

that I would come in person

to pay a formal visit to the City Lord of Yandu.

To discuss eliminating the remnants of the War Demons?

That's right.

I have already

reported this to the City Lord.

Now that you're here in person,

it is only right that I arrange

a meeting for you as soon as possible.

"It is only right?"

Yes.

Unfortunately, the timing is not ideal.

The City Lord is currently in seclusion.

"The timing is not ideal?"

Of all times, he chooses to enter seclusion

the moment I arrive?

It really is a coincidence.

But I assure you,

there's no intention to disrespect you.

Fine.

Then I'll wait for him to come out of seclusion.

By the way, Mr. Shen,

have you heard of the Wushuang Society?

Wushuang Society?

I think... I've heard of it.

It should be a guild for craftsmen.

Not just craftsmen, right?

I'm afraid I don't understand.

Please enlighten me, Mr. Tanghua.

It seems this Wushuang Society

has connections with many

merchant guilds in Yandu City

and is secretly aiding the War Demons.

This... this is impossible!

Mr. Shen, do you really not know,

or are you just pretending not to know?

Mr. Tanghua,

where did you hear

such rumors?

This is a serious matter.

We mustn't jump to conclusions based on hearsay.

Without evidence,

how could I make such baseless claims?

The fact that War Demon remnants still exist

is undeniable.

They're hiding and lying low,

which means they are struggling to survive.

If no other forces had been lending a hand,

I don't believe they could have remained hidden for so long.

Now, the three major races dominate the world.

My Youhu Clan and the War Demons

have an irreconcilable blood feud.

As for who has been aiding them,

isn't that obvious?

Mr. Tanghua, you are mistaken.

The Youhu Clan and the War Demon

indeed have a deep blood feud.

But our human race has also suffered greatly

from the War Demon's slaughter and enslavement.

Their atrocities

are deeply etched in our memories.

Our hatred towards them

is no less than that of your esteemed clan.

This matter must be thoroughly investigated.

We must not let those with ulterior motives

take advantage of this to drive a wedge between us.

Alright.

That's exactly what I was waiting

for you to say.

In the southern part of the city, on Licorice Street,

there's a Green Garden Trading House.

Its proprietor is named Lyu Yao.

Come to think of it,

this person was actually brought back

to Yandu City by you.

Is that right?

Yes.

Her father died suddenly,

so she went back home for the funeral.

Then, let's start investigating from here.

She's had two fathers die within three years.

Let's first find out how many fathers she actually has.

Wonderful, wonderful indeed!

This melody is like a gift from the heavens.

Dai, I didn't know you had such skill with the zither.

It's truly astonishing.

Just playing around.

Aren't you busy with your official duties today?

Though official duties keep me busy,

I can always make time

to see you.

It's strange.

Though I haven't spent much time

with you in this life,

now I find myself thinking of you often.

Perhaps this is what they call the bond of family.

That must be it.

Before you returned,

I worried every day

about Father's seclusion.

Sometimes, I couldn't even eat or sleep properly.

Now, it's different.

Knowing that you are here in the same place,

my heart

feels much more at ease.

I feel the same way.

I have wandered for half of my life,

only to realize now how precious family is.

Dai, just now,

what piece were you playing?

It was so beautiful.

I don't know either.

When Mom taught me,

she never mentioned its name.

It was the First Madam who taught you.

But ever since I can remember,

she had always been bedridden.

I'd never

heard her play the zither.

At that time,

she lived in the Yangyu Tower.

Because she couldn't stand the wind,

the doors and windows were always kept closed.

But I often sneaked in there

and got beaten quite some times for it.

Although Father usually doted on me,

he never

held back when punishing me

if I disturbed First Madam's rest.

But even so,

I would still go there often.

I was young at that time

and didn't know any better.

I had no self-control when it came to food and drink.

I especially loved sweets.

The whole household kept me in check,

except for the First Madam.

Every time I visited, she would give me malt sugar.

I still remember clearly

the night when she left this world.

The wind was still,

and the moon was full.

By then,

she could no longer speak.

But she was still happy to see me.

Finally, with trembling hands,

she gave me one last handful of malt sugar.

Dai.

That handful of malt sugar...

was the sweetest thing

I've ever tasted in my life.

Young Lord and Young Mistress,

Shen Ying, Scribe Shen, requests an audience.

Great.

Please invite him in now.

Shen Ying pays his respects to the Young Lord and Young Mistress.

There's no need for such formalities among our own people.

Please, rise quickly.

Thank you, Young Lord.

You and your father

have been protecting my elder sister

for decades without fail.

This time, not only did you safely

bring her back home,

but you also brought back the medicinal pills.

That is a great merit.

So in my heart,

I've long seen you as family.

Thank you for your kindness, Young City Lord.

I dare not accept such an honor.

What are you afraid of?

When Father comes out of seclusion,

he will surely reward you generously.

You must also continue to work hard,

not slack off,

and make good use of opportunities.

Yes, Young Lord.

Dai,

I still have official duties to attend to.

I'll go take care of them now.

Take care of yourself too.

Don't overwork yourself.

I know.

Goodbye.

Young Mistress Dai,

Mr. Tanghua has come to Yandu.

Where are you gentlemen from?

From the east.

When I was feeding your horses earlier,

I noticed that the wheels of your carriage are badly worn.

You must have traveled a long way.

I have a friend

who specializes in repairing wheels.

Would you need his services?

If needed, I'd be happy to introduce him to you.

If necessary,

we'll certainly trouble you.

How far is it to Orange Lake?

It's right here.

When you mentioned Orange Lake earlier,

it didn't come to me at first.

We locals here

all call it Black Dragon Pool.

Why does this lake

have two names?

Years ago,

the elders of our town

said they saw a black dragon

coiled above the lake at night.

That's why it's called Black Dragon Pool.

But in the past couple of years,

no one has seen it again.

Thank you for leading the way.

Zi Fei.

We still need to look around this place,

so we won't take up any more of your time.

Thank you for the tip, sir.

It's here.

Then let's quickly rescue him.

Lu Chen,

return.

Lu Chen isn't here.

The seal has been broken?

Then where did he go?

I only realized afterward

that Mr. Tanghua had it all planned out.

He wants to use me

to uncover the truth of the matter.

Wasn't Lyu Yao already

secretly imprisoned by you?

How could she brazenly

escape

and get involved with the Wushuang Society?

Indeed.

I find it strange too.

This person

tried to assassinate the Youhu Clan's High Priest.

That's truly insane.

I originally planned to imprison her for a couple of years

as a warning.

But someone, I don't know who,

released her.

No matter who released her,

we can't let her

get away with it like this.

Yes.

As for that Wushuang Society,

if it's really as you say,

it's far too radical.

If left unchecked,

I'm afraid

it might really ignite a war between the two clans.

That's exactly what I'm worried about.

Here's what we'll do:

find a way to investigate the situation.

It would be best if you could

root them out completely.

Understood.

This matter must be handled discreetly.

Try not to arouse any suspicion from the Youhu Clan,

especially

Mr. Tanghua.

We need to nip it in the bud before he does,

to prevent exacerbating the conflict between our two clans

and causing misunderstandings.

Yes, Young Mistress.

With Lu Chen's abilities,

could he have

broken the seal himself?

He must have encountered something unexpected.

No matter what he encountered,

since the seal has been broken,

why hasn't he come to find us?

Stop right there!

[Pei Jiu; Weapon Spirit]

Thank you.

Are you hungry?

Come on. Come in.

Here you go.

Eat slowly.

Don't choke yourself.

Si!

Stop what you're doing

and throw out that freeloader!

Who?

In this inn,

who else is freeloading?

Thank you, sister.

You mean the one in the backyard?

Yes, that's him.

But he's so badly injured

and hasn't woken up yet.

If you throw him out,

won't he end up dying on the streets?

We can't just

keep letting him stay here.

Business is so tough these days!

From morning till now,

we've had only one table of customers.

I'm barely keeping this small inn open,

and I can hardly

pay your wages.

I'd like to help him,

but I just can't afford to.

But didn't you say this morning...

Wh-Wh-What

did I say?

Who is that person?

Who knows who he is?

I encountered him while I was out.

Out of compassion,

I brought him back to save him.

That man

is severely injured

and has remained unconscious.

But calling a doctor costs money,

and so does buying medicine.

I really can't afford this anymore.

If I had any savings at all,

I certainly wouldn't turn a blind eye to him.

However, I think

this person should wake up

in another ten days or so.

But what if he doesn't wake up?

I still have this small inn to run.

I need to make a living too, right?

But I can't bring myself

to throw him out.

Miss,

why don't you give me some advice?

Me?

Do you think

I should throw him out

or not?

Of course, you can't throw him out.

That's right.

Miss, you're right.

You see,

this young lady also said

that we can't just let him die.

You have such a kind heart, miss.

But who's going to pay for his room?

I can waive the room fee,

but someone needs to

take care of him, right?

Well,

who's going to pay for the labor?

Who's going to pay for the medicine?

Where can we get all this money?

Miss, you don't know

where we're supposed to get all this money?

I don't know.

Miss, you could pay for him.

I can see you have a kind heart.

You were even willing to help a little beggar,

so surely you can help him too, right?

I don't have any money.

Miss, you're dressed so well,

yet you have no money?

I really don't have any money.

Then what about

that young man who came with you?

He has.

Can he pay?

He can!

See? Problem solved.

Come on, come on.

Come with me.

Come on, come on.

It's him.

You

are truly lucky to have met a savior.

Open your eyes and take a good look at her.

Even if you die,

you must remember this person well

so that you can repay her in your next life.

She's agreed to pay for your room,

hire a doctor to prescribe medicine for you,

and have Si take care of you!

Is he badly injured?

How long has he been unconscious?

Since I brought him back,

he's been lying here the whole time.

I felt sorry for him,

and that's why I brought him back.

I don't know, but somehow,

he's managed to hold on until now.

He's got a strong fate

and good fortune.

How else could he have waited for you?

He's about to wake up!

He's the type who knows how to repay kindness.

You saved his life.

He definitely won't forget you.
