Chapter 9

["I won't spare anyone who threatens Mondstadt. If you want me to stop, why don't you ask your husband to explain why he's protecting these Hilichurls!"] 

[Amber couldn't believe Diluc's words. "There must be some misunderstanding! Anders, explain yourself!"] 

[You couldn't bring yourself to look at Amber, avoiding her gaze.] 

[Amber, who knew you better than anyone in the world, saw your reaction. Her initial disbelief gradually turned to despair. She collapsed to the ground, muttering, "How could this be… Why…?"] 

[Diluc swung his sword again. Facing a traitor like you, he held nothing back.] 

[The previous battle had completely drained you. Even with the activated Vision, it was useless. You were fighting purely on willpower now.] 

[Diluc's sword thrust straight toward you. You were too exhausted to lift your arms, and you could only watch as the sword pierced your chest.] 

["No!" Amber's eyes widened in horror. She scrambled to her feet and ran toward you.] 

[A sharp pain shot through your chest. You gripped the sword embedded in your chest tightly and shouted to your foster mother and the Hilichurls, "Run!"] 

[Your foster mother took a few steps toward you, confused and helpless. "Dala?"] 

["Yo Kundela!" You ordered the little Hilichurl to take your foster mother and flee. The little Hilichurl obeyed, dragging its mother away from the battlefield.] 

[Diluc tried to chase after them, but when he attempted to pull the sword from your chest, you held on too tightly. He tried several times but couldn't free it.] 

[Only when your foster mother and the little Hilichurl were out of sight did you finally let go. With no support, you collapsed to your knees, blood staining your chest red.] 

["Anders, no… no!!!" Amber, who had finally reached you, cradled your kneeling body in her arms.] 

["Amber, I'm sorry…" Your breathing grew faint, blood spilling from the corner of your mouth, but you still managed to speak. "The Hilichurls… I didn't call them here, but… they're my family. I couldn't watch them die… I'm sorry… You were my salvation and my hope. I love you…"] 

[Amber kept wiping the blood from your mouth, but it kept flowing, impossible to clean.] 

[She wailed in anguish, "I forgive you! No matter what you've done, I forgive you! Please, don't leave me! Barbara told me I'm pregnant! Anders! We're going to have a child! Don't abandon us… Anders!!! Anders!!!"] 

[Life simulation ended! Skills obtained in this simulation: Shield Bash and Fierce Charge. Item obtained: Electro Vision (with skills: Thunder Arc, Heavenly Thunder Strike, Thunder Net).] 

Holy crap!! 

Kael was shocked when he saw the ending. Amber was pregnant?! 

Was that why she said she had to see Barbara?! 

System, you're truly heartless!! 

How would Amber, now a widow with a child, survive in Mondstadt? 

And with a husband like Anders, whose reputation was completely ruined. 

Kael's heart ached just thinking about it. 

His wife and child would surely have a hard life in Mondstadt. 

But thankfully, this was just a life simulation, not something that actually happened. 

Otherwise, he would have died with regrets. 

"System, didn't you say there would be a rating and rewards? Why did I only get skills and an item?" 

[The rating is being calculated. The epilogue for this life simulation has been generated. Would you like to view it, Host?] 

Epilogue? 

It probably tells the story of what happened after his death. 

Kael was quite curious about what would happen after he died. 

"Yes, show it." 

[Epilogue begins…]
