The Reader and Protagonist Definitely Have to Be in True Love Chapter 54

Chapter 50 - Reader: That’s good.

Chapter 50.1 – Reader: That’s good.

Because of his family’s glamorous and aloof “God”s Envoy,” the Pope became so worried that he felt like his hair was going to turn white.

On the day that demons came to pick up their king, when the Pope saw that Du Ze seemed to want to go with them, the Pope decisively knocked him out and brought the God’s Messenger to the Temple of Light. He wonders if this is why the God’s Envoy has been silent with a cold expression on his face ever since he woke up; he hasn’t spoken to anybody. In any case, it seems impossible to please God’s Messenger. These past few days the Pope has been trying to find out what Du Ze likes, but every attempt has failed.

If Du Ze were to learn of the Pope’s situation, he would surely advise the Pope to stop trying since @myboss is the best.

Du Ze spent his days wandering all over the Temple of Light. Some silly, cute person thought that it would useful to know the layout of the place and map out possible escape routes for when the Moe Lord strikes back at the Temple.

In the Temple of Light, people were singing praises about him and talking incessantly about the powerful and domineering God’s Messenger. Even the small feathered animal on the God’s Messenger’s head was called powerful and domineering.1 Nonetheless, Du Ze was able to get a piece of valuable information: We don’t know when Bright, the god of Light, will favor you with a meeting, therefore stay in the Temple of Light and wait for a sign. If you need anything, you can ask the servants for it.

… This young man should reply “Thanks to the Bright god for his grace.”2

After his escape attempts were all foiled, Du Ze began to wonder why the god of light was looking for him. The reader felt like he was just an NPC mascot for the Temple of Light. A bunch of people tried to raise their favorability rating with him by offering him gifts and some people even wanted to please the fat chirp on his head by trying to feed it – What sort of loot do you expect to drop here? Stupid human beings, this young man’s moral standards have already fallen! That fat chirp will only shed its fluff, not its moral integrity!3

A few days later, because of the silly, cute person’s social barrier, no one dares to disturb the cold and lofty God’s Envoy. Du Ze counted on his fingers; today is the fifth day of his separation from the Moe Lord. Xiu, having transformed twice, should be in a coma for around 10 days. On that day, Xiu was carried off by the Thunder Regiment. In “Mixed Blood,” those demon soldiers were loyal to the demon god Baal and their chief was called Rachel. The Thunder Regiment’s leader was a die-hard Baal worshipper. Because Xiu was Baal’s descendant, Rachel led the Thunder Regiment in becoming Xiu’s followers. After that, they began preparations to attack the Sky City.

Even if the timing is wrong, the plot’s trajectory is strikingly similar.

Du Ze was lost in thought for a moment. The story’s plot has progressed to this point? Suddenly, Du Ze realized that he will not be able to use spoilers to his advantage anymore. When Xiu wakes up, he can get Rachel’s support and become king of the demon race. Obviously, this means he won’t have to go to the reverse side of the continent to dominate the 72 demon cities. Now the plot has advanced so far that only the “Sky City” story arc is left, but in “Mixed Blood” Xiu attacked the Sky City in order to save Ariel. This time, Xiu has no reason to attack the Sky City.4

– I know a lot, you can use me.

Du Ze stopped walking and his eyes flashed with helplessness.

Has he been useless to the Moe Lord?

“… God’s Messenger!”

A voice interrupted Du Ze’s thoughts. He looked up and found that two of the Knights of the Temple were restraining a priest who seemed to be under arrest. The two knights greeted Du Ze courteously. The priest they were holding was the one who had called out to Du Ze, and the prisoner looked at Du Ze as though he was his last hope.

“Please, my lord! I am not guilty… !”

One of the knights hit the priest on the stomach. The priest held his stomach in agony and stopped speaking. The other Temple Knight said respectfully to Du Ze: “Pray excuse us, we are sending this criminal to the House of Sinners.”

The House of Sinners is the place where the Temple of Light disposes of criminals. No one returns alive from that place and their corpses do not leave intact. The priest looked a little weak but also very honest and simple. Du Ze didn’t know what the priest had done to be sent to the House of Sinners but he stared at the priest’s face that had a huge scar across his nose. Du Ze’s heart beat faster. He knows a person who was one of Xiu’s best friends. Xiu rescued him from some mercenaries, but that person betrayed Xiu to the Temple of Light and the black-robed skeleton cut him across the nose, leaving a scar.

Seeing Du Ze staring at the priest, one of the Temple Knights explained: “This criminal is a thief.”

The priest was still hissing in agony but struggled to defend himself by saying: “I… No… This is not true, I have no reason to steal the Saint’s things.”

The knight said disdainfully: “Everyone knows that your family is poor.”

The priest asked a rhetorical question in disbelief: “My family is poor… Does that mean I’m going to steal something?”

—— He transformed into the undead form, does that mean he is evil?

Du Ze stared at the priest with a scar on his face and when he spoke his voice was as dry as though it was not his own: “… What’s your name?”

The two knights were stunned because God’s Messenger was rumored to be indifferent to everything and never spoke. Now God’s Messenger opened his mouth to ask the name of the person they had arrested.

The priest’s eyes lit up as he tried to kneel in front of Du Ze and said in an excited voice:

“Daniel. God’s Messenger, my name is Daniel.” Daniel’s gaze was filled with hope: “God’s Messenger … Please believe that I did not steal.”

Du Ze’s blood went cold. It is Daniel. This scum was the reason that the Moe Master could no longer believe in others.

The Temple Knights seemed to have misunderstood and thought that Du Ze plans to save Daniel. One of them hurriedly said: “God’s Messenger, perhaps you don’t know but this person is not someone who was qualified to enter the Temple. He is here because he came running to the Saint with a shameless request.”

The other Temple Knight said: “Yes, in order to enter the Temple, this man betrayed his companion- “

“I didn’t!” Daniel interrupted the Temple Knight’s words and tried to explain to Du Ze: “That was not my companion! He is evil. I asked the Saint to destroy evil!”

… This is why you rescued Xiu then betrayed him? To win a place in the Temple of Light?

Daniel looked up at Du Ze hopefully. He saw the black-haired youth bent down over him slightly and whispered softly in his ear: “Daniel, sorry, the best thing you can do now is to enter the House of Sinners.

——“Xiu, sorry, the best thing you can do now is to die.”

When the Knights of the Temple dragged Daniel away, the priest’ face was disbelieving. Du Ze did not feel the least bit of sympathy.

Giving someone hope then replacing it with despair, that is the most cruel thing in the world.

Kelly betrayed Xiu. Rose and Eddie gave up on Xiu. Daniel betrayed Xiu. Because of arrogance, jealousy, and greed, they killed Xiu’s natural disposition with a knife.

Even if Xiu once again acts on the side of justice, the Xiu who used to laugh and risk his life for strangers will never come back.

Chapter 50.2 – Reader: That’s good.

On the eighth day, the god of light finally turned over some silly, cute person’s tablet.

emperor choosing concubine

This was the custom in Ancient China. A tray full of tablets with concubines’ names engraved on them is presented to the emperor. He turns over the one with the name of the concubine he wants to spend the night with. Image source: Xuan Ji Ci

Du Ze looked blankly at the two birds’ wings … *cough* two angels, a male and a female. The two of them are Du Ze’s “acquaintances.” The male angel was the one he saw in the Lost Land and the female wa the younger sister (harem member) that the Moe Lord loved to bully and formed a blood contract with in “Mixed Blood” – Lilia.

“God’s Messenger, please follow us to the Sky City, the god of light wants to see you.”

Du Ze instantly understood why the original Xiu particularly liked to bully Lilia. Her overbearing attitude really made a person want to bully her until she cried. Vivian gives off a healing atmosphere and is more approachable, but though she seems soft outside, inside she is hard. On the other hand, Lilia is too arrogant. She is hard and outspoken both inside and outside. However, the god of light thinks highly of her attitude.

Lilia frowned as Du Ze, with an impassive face, expressed his refusal. Her fair eyebrows scrunched up and she immediately crushed a crystal with a symbol engraved on it. Du Ze did not have time to react before he found that he had been teleported. When he opened his eyes again, he had arrived at an exceptionally bright world.

Du Ze was standing in a walled city. The city did not have any land, only layers of white clouds. The sky was underneath his feet. This is a city floating in the sky.

-There is a city in the sky.

This is a widely circulated legend in the Chaotic Continent. All living beings know of a city in the sky, but no one knows where it is.

Du Ze immediately felt tired and disappointed.1 Now, for Xiu to rescue him, he will have to attack the Sky City – Wait a minute, this kind of “fate is inevitable” feeling is… It’s you, plot god?! You’re being naughty again!

The main color of the Sky City is white. Maybe it is because it is located above the white clouds where there is a lot of light, but the effect is quite dazzling. Du Ze was held tightly by the two angels. Lilia bowed in front of the temple reverently.

“My God, I have brought the person you want.”

The temple was silent for a moment then the huge door opened slowly, revealing a path only big enough for one person.

Wait, this is unscientific! Ah, **** it, this young man doesn’t have any good equipment and this fluffy Moe pet hasn’t leveled up enough, yet you make this young man meet the final BOSS?!

Some silly, cute person who had lost his mind was shoved into the temple . At the exact moment when he was pushed into the temple, Du Ze didn’t know why but he had a feeling that today was the last day of the agreement.2

The door closed behind Du Ze’s back. The temple darkened for a moment then immediately brightened. A humanoid made of light waves stood opposite Du Ze. It had no facial features, just two black holes for eyes and another for a mouth. It quietly glowed in the dim temple.

This is the god of light, “Mixed Blood’s” BOSS?

“Chirp!”

The small Phoenix felt threatened and fluffed itself up. It fanned its tiny wings and its chubby, round, ball-like body flew in front of Du Ze to try to block the danger. However, the light creature simply looked at the small Phoenix and the fluffy ball swayed in the air before falling. Du Ze quickly caught it in his hand and worriedly examined it.

“I just made it faint.” The humanoid light figure opened its vaguely outlined mouth and its ethereal voice echoed majestically in the empty temple.

Du Ze stared at the figure: “Are you the god of light?”

The figure made of light nodded its blurry-looking head. “My body is in the world of the gods; what you see now is my projection. The Chaos Continent can’t withstand my godly presence, so all I could do was to send my believers to find you. But they failed twice.”

Twice? Once was in the Gnome Ruins and the other time… ?

Du Ze thought of the angel that he just saw and finally he remembered that a long time ago, he and Xiu met a gnome and an angel while they were in the pillar of light in the Lost Land. Those two said they were looking for a person with black hair and eyes. Then the person they were looking for was not Xiu, but Du Ze?

“I have been waiting for you,” said the god of light. “You are the chosen one.”

Even though the figure’s face was blurry, Du Ze could still see that the god was bluffing.

Do you think this young man is the type of man who will suddenly agree to take on a hero’s quest just because a god says “I look up to you”?

“You’ve got the wrong person.”

The eyes of the humanoid light figure opposite Du Ze seemed to absorb all of the light.

“No.” He said: “In this world, you are special.”

Du Ze’s heart leapt and a “boom” sounded in his brain. He asked: “You know …”

–that I am not a person of this world?

Half of the sentence was stopped by an invisible force but the god of light seemed to expect it and gently nodded. Even if it was just a guess, the god of light seemed to know Du Ze’s identity. Du Ze was still ignorant of many things. He stared at the figure made of light and wanted to ask about a lot of things, but what he finally said was: “I will go back?”

The god of light tried to examine Du Ze’s reaction, but the black-haired youth’s face had no expression at all, so he asked: “You want to go back?”

Du Ze was silent for a moment then asked: “How can I go back?”

The god smiled in satisfaction, and he finally found the man *. (Translator’s Note: There is an asterisk here, fill in the blank.)

“You must destroy evil – you know who it is. If you kill that evil person, you can go back.” A luminous spot divided itself from the figure and was floated motionless in front of Du Ze. The voice of the god of light was almost bewitching: “Accept this power. It can help you fulfill your wish.”

“…”

The god of light gazed at Du Ze’s bloodless face, stressing: “If you don’t kill him, you’ll never be able to go back.”

“… That’s good.”

The god of light was stunned. He could not describe Du Ze’s expression that was relieved yet pained, full of deep bottomless emotion and gentleness.

“I can stay with him until the end.”3

The voice of the god of light was full of disbelief: “Don’t you want to go back?”

In the end, that world has relatives.

Du Ze pressed on the earphones: “I miss them…”

Before the god of light had a chance to rejoice, he saw the black-haired youth lower his eyes: “But…”

In the end, this world has Xiu.

Du Ze’s voice is very soft but extremely resolute.

“I’ll never kill him, even if I have to stay here forever.”

He liked Xiu and, from the moment he opened “Mixed Blood,” he liked it.
