Chapter 651

Translation: Cliffman's message, or rather request, was that he wants to meet Rianna. But that is not a decision for me or Charlotte to make. Of course, I could tell him to go meet her, but I didn't want to. Does Cliffman have the right to say he wants to see Rianna? Even if he helps us, does his power really matter in the current situation with the Master Class and Grand Sorcerer? These are things to consider, but we decided not to think about them. The problem of relationships is important, maybe the most important in the world. If we had not become friends without properly resolving those issues, it would have been the cause of all problems. Therefore, ultimately, this is not a matter for me to decide. She has to decide for herself. Rianna was speechless when she heard Cliffman's message. In the past, Cliffman was a socially awkward person who couldn't even talk to women or men properly. On the other hand, Rianna was always outgoing and friendly. Despite their differences, they became friends and even helped each other in the past. However, Rianna did not tell Cliffman anything about her father's death or her plan to rescue the protagonist during the Gate incident. However, although the events of the Temple era were a few years ago in terms of time, they feel like they happened decades ago. Everyone has changed. Cliffman, who was always passive and had difficulty dealing with people, demanded to meet Rianna. And Rianna, who was always proactive and bold, acted as if she didn't even know the word "shyness." Rianna's behavior may be considered a betrayal. She wouldn't have wanted to take Cliffman on a dangerous path. However, even if it's not betrayal, there may be a sense of betrayal. Rianna doesn't know how Cliffman feels about her actions. Cliffman didn't say how he feels about Rianna. Rianna is afraid because too much has changed. Rianna is one of the most important people on our side. If there is even a possibility that Cliffman could harm Rianna, it's better not to meet him. The potential gain is very small, and the potential loss is enormous. Ultimately, the important thing is whether Rianna wants to meet him or not. The decision is up to Rianna. It's strange. Rianna during the Temple era was undoubtedly a powerful psychic with great potential, but her power was not that strong. However, Rianna was always confident and bold. What about Rianna now? She is truly the strongest psychic in the world. Her power is now unmatched by any magician. However, as she has become stronger, her personality has become the opposite. She easily becomes depressed, tired, and miserable. She has become passive. She is scared to meet Cliffman, who wants to meet her. Rianna has changed her attitude towards Cliffman, which may be seen as a betrayal. However, the decision to meet with Cliffman ultimately lies with Rianna, who is one of the most important people on their side. The narrator acknowledges that there is a potential risk in meeting with Cliffman, but the decision is ultimately up to Rianna. Rianna is hesitant to meet with Cliffman because she values him and is scared. She thinks that if she doesn't meet him, she will regret it for the rest of her life. Escape, avoidance, and ignorance may seem like options. But in this world, there are things that you will regret later if you avoid them now because you are scared. Therefore, even though it is scary and frightening, there are things that you must do to avoid regretting later. For Rianna de Grants, that thing was meeting with Cliffman. "I can go with you," said Reinhardt, but Rianna shook her head and chose to face him alone, not wanting to show any signs of preparation for the worst-case scenario. The decision to meet with Cliffman was made by Rianna's own judgment, despite the potential risks. The world has changed, and people have changed. It used to be possible to meet by simply passing through the dormitory hallway, but now, to deliver a simple message, one must go through countless people. The meeting was finally arranged, and it took place in a forest that was far away from the civilization. The time that had passed felt like it had been decades, and Cliffman was a different person from the confident boy who used to drag Rianna around. He was now a person who couldn't even look at her properly, as if he had committed a great sin. Even his greeting was barely audible. Cliffman saw Rianna de Grants, who had become so small that she couldn't be any smaller.
