My Avatar Is Becoming The Ultimate Boss Chapter 874

[ … words ]

“I can’t understand…” Tricia shook her head, “I only know you’re right in front of me.”

Ji Minghuan said softly, “Tricia, come travel with me, no matter how much you complain, I’ll patiently listen to you…”

“Sure, so where do you want to go?” she asked.

“Anywhere is fine, just…”

“Just?”

“Not Iceland.”

…

…

September 8th, 20:30, Norway.

The seafood restaurant on the dock was bustling, brightly lit, with the aroma of grilled fish and potatoes wafting through the air. Outside the restaurant, someone had pulled up a chair, sitting at the entrance smoking and staring blankly at the undulating sea under the night sky.

Yet there was a white-haired boy with his head drooped, sitting quietly in front of the restaurant’s bar.

Cezar stared blankly at the grilled fish on his plate.

Suddenly, he remembered that in the past, whenever he ate, a little Shark would always poke its head out of his pocket, yelling:

“Give Shark a bite, just one bite for Shark!”

Then it would grin with a sharp little porcelain tooth, look up into Cezar’s eyes, and Cezar would hastily push its head back into the pocket, whispering:

“Don’t worry, Yaguba, I’ll pack it up and give it to you later, it’s all yours!”

Cezar sat motionless, silently reminiscing. Clearly, his favorite grilled fish was on the plate, yet he had no appetite at all.

After a while, silent tears rolled down his cheeks, falling onto the plate.

He had been pondering, Yaguba’s lifespan is so long, if one day he grows old, dies, and is buried in the ground, would Yaguba feel sad? Would it be full and would it return to the ocean world after all?

Would it be lonely by itself at the bottom of the sea?

But Cezar had never thought that one day Yaguba would leave earlier than him, and only then did he realize that the most precious thing in the world is those friends who accompany you every day, laughing and living a nonsensical life.

Yet…he had already lost such a friend forever.

At this moment, a person in a giant Shark costume wobbled into the restaurant, sitting down beside him with a skip, and then patted him on the shoulder with a fin.

Startled, Cezar looked up slowly from his plate, turning his head forward.

All he saw was a goofy, toothy Shark face staring back at him.

His vision blurred with tears, and for a moment, he mistook it for Yaguba, blurting out in surprise and hoarseness:

“Yaguba?!”

“Yes, Shark is Yaguba…” The boy inside the costume coughed twice, muffling his voice.

“You…” Cezar was slightly dumbfounded.

He was so familiar with the boy’s tone, only Yaguba would speak like that.

“Hey… no wearing that thing in the restaurant, it’s going to disturb other customers.” The owner suddenly came over and coldly said to the boy in the costume.

“Shark is wearing it, does Shark owe you money? Are you discriminating against Sharks?” the boy in the costume shouted, “I’m a protected species, you know!”

Unable to argue, the owner waved his hand and walked away.

Cezar continued to gaze quietly at the boy in the costume.

The tears in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by a slight surprise. After a while, Cezar suddenly reached out his hands and carefully took off the Shark head from the boy.

“Wow—!”

Ji Minghuan shouted, sticking his head out of the costume and taking a deep breath of fresh air, “That was suffocating, almost got suffocated in there.”

“Yaguba?” Cezar tilted his head.

“Uh, how should Shark explain this to you?” Ji Minghuan looked away guiltily, “It’s like this… Shark reincarnated and started over as a human.”

He sneaked a glance at Cezar’s stunned look, rubbing his left index finger against his right index finger, “So let’s put it this way, Shark could actually turn human from the start.”

He paused: “Don’t doubt Shark, we noble Sharks are this powerful, becoming a human is a piece of cake, right?”

Cezar quietly stared into his eyes, tears once again blurring his vision. He wanted to laugh, but while laughing, tears suddenly fell from the corners of his eyes.

The next moment, he lunged forward, gently hugging him, “I’ve missed you so much, Bagayalu.”

Ji Minghuan was momentarily dumbfounded, then gently patted his shoulder.

“Alright, alright, I just knew you missed Shark.” Then suddenly realizing something was off, Ji Minghuan asked, “Wait, did you secretly call me ‘Bagayalu’ just now?”

“No, it was clearly ‘Yaguba’.”

“Okay, actually, my name isn’t ‘Yaguba’, it’s ‘Ji Minghuan’.”

“Then… I’ll call you ‘Jiguba’ from now on!”

“That sounds even weirder, but… whatever.” Ji Minghuan smiled, “Let’s travel the world together, we can continue to feast.”

“Alright, Bagayalu.”

“Ugh, there you go again, you must’ve wanted to scold me for a long time, right?”

“No, Yaguba…” Cezar crinkled his nose, sniffling and muttering, “How could I want to scold you, I’ve missed you so much.”

“Seriously, you’re something else, truly the scheming Prince of the Terrarium.” Ji Minghuan said with mock annoyance, lightly bumping his shoulder.

The evening breeze blew into the brightly lit restaurant, carrying the scent of the sea. The two children sat at the bar, feasting. It was a delicious dinner.
