Kapitel 176: -173- How could he let her go?

"Thank you."

"Why say thank you to me? I promised them that I would take care of you, and besides, it's something I want to do myself."

Carrying Linwin into the room, Kai'Sa gently placed him on the bed.

Then, she covered Linwin with a blanket.

This made Linwin feel both warm and awkward, as if he wanted to dig himself a hole and just stay there.

Unlike Powder, who would simply pick Linwin up and toss him onto the bed, the older Kai'Sa was incredibly gentle.

"It's a courtesy. Don't you often say thank you to people?"

"But Zoran told me that people only keep saying thank you when they're with strangers, like when you're with that councilor. You didn't say thank you to him much."

"."

"Your situation with Jayce is different, Kai'Sa."

Linwin lay on the bed, with slightly damp hair falling on his forehead. He looked at the ceiling, blinked, and then, Kai'Sa leaned in.

Along the curve of her head, her black hair naturally flowed to both sides, glossy and beautiful. Looking at Linwin's face, Kai'Sa pursed her red lips. 

In this "view," she still looked stunning.

Because of the backlight, Kai'Sa's originally sharp facial features softened, making her less heroic and more gentle.

At this moment, she looked more like a young girl than a warrior.

Brushing a cluster of hair that swayed and blocked her line of sight behind her ear, Kai'Sa looked at Linwin and said, "Are you going to sleep now?"

"."

"No, I don't plan to sleep yet."

"When you want to sleep, just let me know. I'll help you turn off the lights."

Hearing this, Kai'Sa sat on the edge of Linwin's bed.

This has been the way they spent time together these days.

During the day, Powder guarded Linwin, and at night, Kai'Sa guarded him. That's how they got through this.

Therefore, at night, when Linwin was sleeping, Kai'Sa would sit nearby and watch over him through the night.

////Personally I won't be able to sleep with a Kai'Sa watching me all night....////

At first, Linwin naturally disagreed; he found it strange! There was no need to do this, and he felt uncomfortable with this way of care.

But in the end, Linwin couldn't resist Kai'Sa's decision. Now, with debuffs on him, Linwin couldn't stop Kai'Sa, so he had to let her do as she pleased.

Linwin lay on the bed, his mind in chaos. Thinking about what happened tonight, his heart would still race, and he felt like something was about to jump out of his throat.

Linwin considered two possibilities: either vomiting due to nervousness or just wanting to utter a sentence.

---

As time passed, Linwin closed his eyes decisively. He thought that for the next few days in front of Kai'Sa, he would probably continue like this.

Whenever he saw Kai'Sa, he would have to play dead. After all, Linwin had thought he was used to all sorts of embarrassing situations, such as being princess-carried by Kai'Sa, asking Kai'Sa to take him to the bathroom in the middle of the night, and even in the first few days, Kai'Sa feeding him when he couldn't lift a spoon to eat.

He endured all these things and got through them.

However, being helped by Kai'Sa in the bath, Linwin really couldn't handle it. 

He would rather fight Sion again, no, two Sions. 

He would even be willing to fight Galio. Even if he couldn't win, it would still be better than this embarrassment and social death.

Some people may think that this is a small matter, but when it happens to you and you suddenly wake up in the middle of the night, regretfully shouting, "Why the hell did I do that?!!" you'll understand how serious this can be.

"Linwin, are you asleep yet?"

After a quiet moment, Linwin wanted to say something several times, but in the end, he swallowed it back. Then Kai'Sa spoke.

At this moment, Kai'Sa was stretching her legs forward, her long left leg resting on her right leg, leaning against the bedside. She softly asked, "If you're not asleep, I'd like to chat with you."

Linwin immediately said, "What do you want to talk about?"

"Many, many things," Kai'Sa replied. "I want to know why you say I'm different from Jayce."

"Is it because you've known him a bit longer?"

Looking at the lamp on the ceiling, Linwin squinted at the slightly dazzling orange light and said, "Of course not."

"Jayce is my friend, brother, and comrade, and Viktor is also my friend, brother, and comrade. But when it comes to Jayce and Viktor, I would be more polite to Viktor." Linwin paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "That's because Jayce's personality is different from Viktor's."

"Jayce is more straightforward, so if I have something to ask him, it's best to say it directly. If I'm overly sentimental and express gratitude for a long time, Jayce will get annoyed. That's why I can be more casual with him. It doesn't mean I'm impolite to Viktor; it just means my relationship with Jayce is different from my relationship with Viktor."

"So, although we haven't known each other for a long time, Kai'Sa, I also consider you a friend and comrade."

Kai'Sa's tone sounded somewhat pleased as she said, "But, Linwin, even if that's the case, I still don't like that you always say thank you to me."

Linwin immediately said, "Then I'll try to do that less in the future."

Kai'Sa changed the topic.

"Linwin, what kind of place is Ionia?"

Before meeting Linwin, little Kai'Sa had never left Shurima in her life. She was naturally curious about the eastern island nations.

"That is a country composed of numerous islands, a place where nature and people coexist. There, you can see many strange creatures and various greenery."

"What about Demacia? Lux always tells me how great Demacia is, and Fiora says Demacia is a just, fair, and united country."

Linwin slowly placed his hands behind his head and said to Kai'Sa, "That is a country where normal people can live very well."

"Do they not like magic?"

"It's not just a matter of not liking magic. Demacians detest and reject magic. To put it simply, Kai'Sa, if Seraphine and Zeri were born in Demacia, they should have been arrested and imprisoned by now, not like in Zaun, where they are being employed and have a better life using magic."

"Why?"

Kai'Sa turned her body, placed her hands on the bed. "I can't understand. Magic is such a powerful thing, and Lux knows magic too, right?"

"This is a very complicated matter."

It's not that Linwin doesn't want to explain, but it's not something that can be explained in a few words. Demacia's aversion to magic has reasons, just like Professor Heimerdinger initially rejecting Hextech.

Immense Power is a double-edged sword.

Demacians are a group of people who have suffered persecution from magic. Therefore, they know what harm magic can cause and view magic as something evil.

"This story is very long, but if you want to know, I can tell you. Do you want to hear it now?"

".."

"No." Kai'Sa sat up straight again, turning her back to Linwin.

"Because I have something to talk to you about."

Linwin asked Kai'Sa, "What's the matter?"

Kai'Sa retracted her long legs, surrounded her knees with her hands, and said softly, "Linwin... I want to go back to Shurima."

"?"

In just a moment, Linwin sat up, then took a deep breath.

Ouch... 

Subconsciously sitting up straight, the consequence of such a large movement was like a turbulent airflow in his body, as if there were small knives cutting Linwin's flesh inside.

That's why Linwin only walked a dozen steps in one minute.

Because it really hurts!

But Linwin couldn't care less about the pain now. He looked at Kai'Sa and said loudly, "Why? Why would you leave when everything is fine?"

Kai'Sa turned her head, looked at Linwin, and blinked.

"What are you reacting so much? I just said I want to go back."

Although Shurima is very close to Zaun.

But that place doesn't have a Hex Gate, so it can only rely on ships.

Even if Kai'Sa can fly and is very fast, she must go to the deepest part of Shurima, so the round trip would take months.

How could he let her go?


Kapitel 177: -174- Promise

 Kai'Sa opened her mouth, looking at Linwin, and said, "I've been living in Zaun for almost half a year, and I really, really like Zaun."

"Then why do you still want to leave? Is it because Powder bullies you?" Linwin continued, "Don't worry, I've talked to Powder. She doesn't actually dislike you; she just enjoys playing pranks on you."

"Bully me?" Kai'Sa was first stunned, then shook her head. "Powder has never bullied me."

"Then why do you want to leave?"

"Because I'm afraid that if I stay in Zaun any longer, I won't want to leave later." Kai'Sa took a deep breath and said to Linwin, "Linwin, my purpose in living is to kill those Void monsters, to save more people from Shurima."

"I also believe what you said, that Hextech weapons are powerful and can be used to repel Void creatures. But I'm afraid I'll become weaker."

"But even if you go back, you can't solve this alone."

"But if I can save one, then one is saved, isn't it?"

Linwin fell silent.

"And Linwin, you said you need my help, but do you really need my help? From the time I came to Zaun until now, the only thing I've truly done to help you is... to become an idol." Kai'Sa said, gritting her teeth.

She cast Linwin an unfriendly gaze.

This Linwin.

She thought she was here to fight.

She thought Linwin would experiment on her.

Just like those Black Mages, Kai'Sa had thought about sacrificing her blood.

But what was the result?

The result was that Linwin kept taking care of her, treating her with good food and drinks. The only time she was useful was to become an idol.

Dancing on the big stage.

Although Kai'Sa didn't dislike that feeling, and even found a nice hobby because of it, but the more she experienced, the more anxious Kai'Sa became.

Could she really be so happy?

Did she really deserve to be so happy?

During the time she lived in Zaun, she knew that her hometown was still being contaminated by Void monsters.

Since she couldn't help here, what was the meaning of her staying in Zaun?

Did she still have a reason to stay in Zaun?

For a more powerful Hextech weapon?

That was the initial reason.

But Kai'Sa didn't think she had any contribution to the development of Hextech technology.

She couldn't, no matter how hard she tried.

She was not intelligent.

Kai'Sa's anxiety was that she didn't know what reason to continue staying in Zaun.

Kai'Sa had been confused for a long time.

And now, she had decided.

After taking care of Linwin for this period, when Linwin's body recovered, she decided to go back to Shurima.

Linwin, who had thought so much, was sitting on the bed, holding his head, becoming anxious.

While Kai'Sa was looking at Linwin, she earnestly asked him, "You've been very kind to me since our first meeting, until now, why? Why are you so good to me?"

"I can't understand."

"I know in your eyes, I am not a monster." Kai'Sa paused for a moment. After coming to Zaun, she found many people who looked more like monsters than herself. Therefore, knowing the reason why Linwin wasn't afraid of her at first sight, Kai'Sa knew. But why did Linwin treat her so well?

Kai'Sa also asked this question, "But you must have a reason for being so good to me, right?"

"Or do you know me even before we met?"

Linwin stretched out his hand, forcefully scratching his head, unsure of how to explain to Kai'Sa.

How do one say this?

Should he say that because he had read her story, he knew what kind of person she was, so he was willing to believe in her, and he was very sympathetic to her past?

And the previous kindness was because he wanted to gain her favor, to get system rewards and become stronger?

Should he say that she is a five-star card, and she can make him stronger?

Yes, indeed, Linwin initially approached Kai'Sa for those reasons.

But now, Linwin knows that he is no longer being kind to Kai'Sa just to become stronger.

It's a genuine desire from the bottom of his heart to make Kai'Sa's life better, to bring her happiness.

It's not out of pity for the Kai'Sa in her background story that Linwin acts this way.

It's because of affection, the genuine liking that drives him to do so.

He has to admit it: he likes Kai'Sa.

So, Linwin spoke up, "Shurima is not a good place, and those people reject you. I know, even if I say this, you'll still want to help them. But Kai'Sa, there is no one living in that place now, right? You've driven away all the surrounding villagers."

"True, but Linwin, those monsters will go after them."

Regarding Linwin's statement that they reject her, Kai'Sa doesn't care anymore.

She has received enough care.

Zaun has accepted her, embraced her.

In Zaun, when people she met on the street asked her what she would do next, Kai'Sa could say, "I'm going home now."

In Zaun, she has a home.

She has been incredibly happy during this time.

So, Kai'Sa smiled at Linwin and said, "What I need to do is intercept them before they make a move."

"And, I also know Shurima is not a good place. It's poor, chaotic, and still has many bandits and Void creatures. But Shurima is also my home."

"I always have to go back home."

Linwin fell silent: ".."

Looking into Kai'Sa's purple eyes, seeing the seriousness in her eyes, all the previous romantic scenario in Linwin's head disappeared.

"Well, then, I'll accompany you when the time comes," Linwin suddenly lay back and loudly continued, "When you decide to leave, just tell me. I will accompany you to Shurima."

"."

Kai'Sa looked puzzled: "Are you sick or something?"

"What kind of talk is that?" Linwin first retorted unkindly, then sighed and said, "I know you want to stop those Void monsters, but Kai'Sa, the promise I made to you, I'll do my best to fulfill it. If you want to go back and take a look, then go."

"But I will never agree to let you go alone against the Void creatures."

"It's not that I don't believe in you; I believe you have the ability to fight them. But even so, I won't agree to let you go back alone."

Linwin said seriously.

Kai'Sa was stunned, then slowly got up.

Then, Kai'Sa sat on the edge of the bed: "Why? Since I have the ability, why don't you let me go?"

Linwin turned his head to look at the woman sitting beside him and said, "Kai'Sa, do you trust me?"

Kai'Sa nodded, softly responding, "Yes."

"Because it's not the right time yet, really not the right time. Just like you think, I know many, many things in this world, and in Shurima, the real crisis has not yet come. Those creatures you saw before were just the weakest Void creatures."

Linwin's tone was affirmative, "Bigger trouble is still ahead."

"To resist the Void better, we need the unity of the twin cities, an alliance with Demacia. Only with more and more people participating in this war can we truly achieve victory."

"So, if you go back now, it's not a good time."

Kai'Sa nodded at first, then said in a speechless manner, "I understand. But Linwin, I haven't decided if I really want to go back yet. Since you say so, I'll stay a little longer."

Kai'Sa sat up straight: "But when the time comes, you have to accompany me to Shurima."

"Okay, but after resolving the underground matters in Shurima, you also have to come back to Zaun with me. Promise me that first."

Kai'Sa was initially stunned, then smiled brightly and said, "Alright, I promise you. I will follow you back to Zaun."

As the atmosphere eased and Linwin calmed down, he realized he might have said some strange things.

He coughed, raised the blanket to cover his face, and loudly said, "Well then, that's it. I'm going to sleep now."

"Good night."

After quickly saying this, Linwin started pretending to sleep.

"."

Linwin closed his eyes, claiming to sleep, but various thoughts were running through his mind.

Thinking about how to better solve the problem.

Go back?

There's no way he'd let Kai'Sa go back alone.

Linwin could never allow Kai'Sa to go back alone.

What if she gets hurt? What if she gets bullied? What if she can't eat good food?

Even though Kai'Sa has promised Linwin that she will return to Zaun with him after resolving Shurima's issues, Linwin is still worried.

He needs to find a way to make Kai'Sa feel at ease staying.

Under the covers, Linwin, lost in thought, was suddenly startled.

Surprised, he quickly lifted the blanket and propped up his body, looking at the girl lying next to him. Then, he took a deep breath.

"What are you doing?"

"I want to lie here."

"Wait, lie here? If you want to rest, you have a room, a bed, and your bed is softer than mine."

"I mean, I want to lie here."

Kai'Sa repeated, blinked at Linwin, and her beautiful purple eyes flashed with a hint of cunning. She then asked Linwin, "I want to lie here. Is that okay?"

"."

Linwin lay back again, and after a moment, he suddenly said, "Do you want to get under the covers?"

"Can I?"

"If you don't mind, then, of course, I have no problem."

Kai'Sa immediately took action.

In front of the person she trusts the most, Kai'Sa wouldn't be polite.

She lifted the blanket and crawled in. Then, Kai'Sa sniffed.

There was a faint fragrance.

She had just smelled this scent.

One was the shampoo scent used when helping Linwin wash his hair, and the other was the foamy water used for bathing.

While Linwin, who was thinking about how to make Kai'Sa feel more at ease, stiffened like a robot feeling the warmth of the person beside him. Linwin could even feel Kai'Sa's breath on his neck. He stumbled and said, "Then, I, I'm going to sleep now."

"Well, if you want water or need to use the toilet, just tell me."

Kai'Sa nestled beside Linwin under the blanket.

The first time sleeping on the same bed with someone.

Kai'Sa felt an indescribable excitement.

She... seems to be able to stay in Zaun.

Even though it's somewhat forced.

But as long as Linwin needs her.

She's willing to stay in Zaun.

All she needs is a reason.

A reason to stay in Zaun.

And being needed by someone is the best reason, especially when that someone is Linwin.

As for the issue in Shurima.

She believes in Linwin.

Linwin promised Kai'Sa.

He will handle it.
