My Superpower Is Piloting Magical Girl Corpses?
Chapter 173: The Conviction to Walk with Head Held HighThe cherry-haired girl lowered her eyelids slightly, making her expression hard to read. She merely nodded gently, her voice sweet yet calm, without a hint of surprise.
"Part of it is true, but most of it is false."
"..."
Tang Keren and Zihan instinctively opened their mouths, as if wanting to retort, but the words caught in their throats and refused to come out.
And the calm expression on the cherry-haired girl before them was clearly different from the Mengmengxiang they remembered.
Yet, for some reason, they couldn't help but feel...
That Mengmengxiang had always been like this.
She never lied.
"Do you really think this is a lie?"
Amber, seated at the table, simply looked at them and uttered a single sentence."But if that's the case... then why did you come here in the first place?"
"......" *3
For a moment, they were frozen stiff.
In that instant, a brilliance matching their Soul Gems surged within their eyes.
It wasn't just from the apocalyptic scene they'd witnessed outside upon arriving, but from a deep, almost indescribable intuition rooted in the very core of their souls.
It was the cause and effect accumulated over countless cycles, a condensation of endless hope, despair, joy, sorrow, and memories...
At this critical juncture where everything was about to end, it finally seemed to loosen, threatening to break free from its seal, shattering the memories and common sense in their minds and violently tearing them apart.
That intuition told them—
No matter how much their rationality wanted to deny it.
All of this was the truth.
"......"
Tang Keren felt the stirring in her heart. She no longer doubted anything and took a deep breath. "So... Amber, Phoenix, not only can you make us remember those past... cycles, but you can also restore our memories of the real world?"
Amber said softly, "...If you are willing."
"What are you waiting for?!" Tang Keren inhaled sharply. "Then hurry up and restore them for me!"
Zihan's eyes flickered with a purple light. "I, I want to as well..."
"..."
But Amber just stared at them, her voice gentle. "Are you really sure you want to do this?"
"Of cou—"
The next moment, Tang Keren stopped herself mid-sentence, freezing in place alongside Zihan.
Because something suddenly surged from deep within their souls, from the seal that had begun to loosen.
It was... an indescribably intense agony.
"......!!"
Tang Keren's vision seemed to ignite with fierce, maddening flames.
Excruciating pain followed.
It was as if her skin had been flayed, her entire body constantly scorched and licked by flames, a torment like a thousand cuts that persisted even in sleep.
It was like all hope and her future had been mercilessly devoured by the flames, leaving only black ash.
Zihan, meanwhile, clutched her right eye tightly, a searing pain like a blade violently twisting in her eye socket.
Then came a wave of loneliness and sorrow—the feeling of being abandoned by her closest kin, of losing everything familiar, of everything losing its meaning.
In an instant, cold sweat beaded on their foreheads.
But Amber just looked at them, repeating her earlier question in a soft voice.
"Are you really sure you want to do this?"
"......"
"Almost all the girls who entered this world were utterly hopeless in reality, and before entering, you should have all signed the relevant agreements, knowing that your memories would be altered and modified."
"In other words... for both of you, it was your own choice to seal away those sad memories of the past."
Amber said quietly, "You came here of your own accord and gave up your lives outside."
"Similarly, the choice is in your own hands. We won't force you."
The two lowered their heads, their hands unconsciously clenching on their knees as they fell into a brief silence.
But in that moment.
Beside Lin Guang, the girl with wine-red hair had already raised her head, her eyes fixed on the other.
Only, her jewel-like green eyes were gradually being dyed an ocean blue.
"Miss Amber, I want to restore my memories."
"......!"
"My memories of my seniors... and the reason I came here, to this world. This is what I came to find out!"
The two girls instinctively lifted their heads and turned to look at Su Fang.
—At some point, the determination on her face had become unshakable.
Then.
Their gazes followed the slender hand she was tightly holding, painted with orange nail polish, to the silent cherry-haired girl across from them—their former close friend, whose sweet, calm face remained expressionless.
"......"
There was a strange feeling.
No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't recall a specific time or place, but a surging, overwhelming emotion burst forth like a dam breaking.
It was as if...
She had done so many things for them, they had made so many promises to each other, sworn so many heartfelt vows, and created countless memories worth cherishing.
It's just...
They had forgotten them on their own.
Leaving her alone to move forward in silence.
Watching the cherry-haired girl, who slightly lowered her eyes and remained inexplicably silent, Zihan whispered, "She... already knows?"
"...Something like that."
"......" *2
Tang Keren murmured, "I hate this feeling, of being the only one who doesn't know anything."
"Right, Zihan?"
"...Yeah."
The burning pain and despair, the deep-seated sadness and loneliness in her eyes, seemed to recede from their hearts.
The two took a deep breath simultaneously and turned to look at Amber.
"I want to remember everything."
Tang Keren's gaze burned, the pink light in her eyes condensing into a tangible form.
"Open the true pages sealed deep within my soul to me completely."
Zihan raised her head, the purple light in her left eye blooming like a violet, brimming with endless resolve.
The moment the words fell, they turned to each other and exchanged a glance, then a relieved smile spread across their lips simultaneously.
"I understand."
Amber let out a soft sigh.
But in her eyes, there was a clearly gratified smile.
As if she was rejoicing in the girls' growth and awakening.
Phoenix, still perched on the replica of the Sacred Tree at the restroom entrance, explained, "Normally, it would be nearly impossible to restore your memories."
"Even if we told you verbally or condensed images for you to witness with your own eyes, you would forget the moment you saw them, as if a top-tier cognitive filter had been placed over you."
The cherry-haired girl's eyes flickered slightly.
—So that was why Su Fang had forgotten seeing Su Jingyan's face after her Full Bloom ended?
"However, perhaps it's because the cycles are truly approaching their final end, or maybe you've grown far more than before, even experiencing Full Bloom..."
"In any case, the seals on your memories aren't as tight as they used to be."
"That's why you were able to comprehend what we just told you."
"And now... leave the rest to Amber's technique."
