Purity Online - The World For The Fallens
Day 63: Love Letter Part 2 (Part 21)

"A letter?"

Ryugai lifted the stone holding the letter and took the letter, then placed it in the middle of the twinkling star-filled sky. The moon is visible next to the fold of the paper.

"Did he leave this for me on purpose?" Ryugai's brows linked once more as his two eyes stared straight at the letter. Shortly after, surprise approached him. He was shocked because he had just realized something.

"Tu-Wait!!" he shouted with both eyes wide. "Don't ...!! Not even him -"

"Eh, wait, wait!!!" The two eyes of Ryugai who had been researching every centimeter of the letter were now staring in disbelief. "It's a lie, isn't it?! He must be kidding. Where is there such a good coincidence!!! It's, isn't it, the real world, it's not like in a drama or anime!!"

"Su-Easy!! I'd better open it right away" Ryugai said as he unfolded the paper. He also began to read it.

"For Ryugai.'

'Hey, Ryugai. How's it going? By the time you read this letter, I will no longer be beside you. You must be surprised, right? You just moved my heart to come back to the real world, so who wrote this letter?'

'The answer is myself. I wrote it because I expected that you would move my heart to go home. You know Ryugai? I've always said that the real world is rubbish and filled with injustice, and this world is the most suitable place for pure souls like us, but if I'm honest, it's the best place to be, I don't really want to stay here forever. I realized that all the happiness I got here was false happiness. I want to go home. I want to go back to the real world. I don't want my family to worry about me.'

'But I have another side in me that controls most of my soul, the cowardly side. This cowardly side has always prevented me from returning to the real world and continuing to escape reality. He told me to live in a world that is this comfort zone forever.'

'Actually I and Brother Otomura know that you are fellow testers. We already knew from the beginning, because the humans that appeared from within the forest were definitely fellow players. But we are silent. We're afraid you're the developer sent to force us back to Earth by force. After we got to know you more closely, we realized that you were a fellow tester, one who suffered the same suffering as us.'

'However, seeing that you are capable of influencing Genbu, that stubborn NPC, easily, we are convinced that if we tell you the truth, we will never be in this world again. You're going to tell us to go back to the real world. If we refuse, you will definitely continue to corner us, considering that you are a persistent person. Therefore, we decided to hide our identity and pretend to be NPCs.'

'But when you were about to leave this world, I realized that all this happiness was fake. I want to go back, unfortunately this cowardly side prevents me. Finally, I deliberately sat on the park bench after the war to attract your attention. I don't want to waste the opportunity to be changed by someone as great as you. I knew that your days here were few, so I rushed over so that I wouldn't regret it forever.'

'Oh, yes, Ryugai. Do you know what? The reason I want to be changed by you and return to the real world is not just because I don't want to worry about my family.'

'But ..., also because .. I love you.'

'If I stay here, we won't be able to see each other again, but if I go back to the real world, there's still a chance that we can meet again even if it's impossible.'

'Before I knew it, I was in love with you. I've never seen a young man as great as you who could influence others into the path of light so easily. But, I dare not reveal it, because to me it is of no use. Already late. Soon we'll be apart, so what's the point of expressing love? It will only put a heavy burden on both of us. But, in the last moments, my mindset changed. I don't want to regret it forever. Better late than never. Unfortunately, I was too embarrassed and cowardly to say it, so I had to use this letter.'

'Because of that ..., in this letter .. I want to say it ....'

'I ... love you ..., Ryugai!!'

'Sorry ..., for harboring this feeling all this time and only expressing it when it was too late ..., but I really liked you!!'

'How did you respond to this letter, huh? I'm curious. Hopefully we can meet again in the real world, even though the possibility is very small. I want to hear your answer. It would be better if we could get married in the real world.'

'From now on, I will return to that rotten world, where the strong rule and the weak will only become slaves. Perhaps, my suffering will even become worse than before. But, I have no regrets at all that I met you who returned me to the real world, because the positive impact was greater. Thank you for everything. Thank you for changing me and leading me to face my destiny again. Thank you for making me stop being a coward. Thank you for reading this letter. I never regret ever meeting you ....'

'If only .., we could meet again in the real world .... Maybe the odds are only 1 in 1 million, but I don't care. I want to keep hoping and believing. I believe that the cruel things we experience are not really because God wants to torture us, but because He wants us to see the magic behind every calamity, now it is just a virtual world.'

'One more time, thank you, Ryugai.'

'Goodbye.'

'I hope this goodbye isn't forever.'

*clak!!*

The writing in the letter is over. A drop of tears fell soaking the paper, followed by the next teardrops. Ryugai's face was covered in tears. She bit her lips, trying to hide her sadness.

"Wrong ...."

"You're wrong!!"

"You are wrong!!"

"I did nothing at all that could be considered valuable to you ...."

"I didn't change you at all."

"You're the one who changed me, you idiot."

"Wear to make a letter like this all, want to imitate the one in the anime? You think you're a heroine, you idiot? It's been dramatic, wearing a pretentious care about me so."

"You are the one who changed me ...."

"You are the one who pulled me back from the path of darkness."

"I should thank you!! You fool!! The girl is still trying to be pretentious to care."

"Yuukaru .., I love you too ...."

"I am also very grateful to you .., and I never regret meeting you."

"Because of that, let me also believe in that nonsense you said that."

"Let me believe also .. to the miracle of destiny."

"Goodbye ...."

"Joshu ...."
