Story of Longevity

v3 ~: Magicians and Lost Ways——You have to

The beginning of this story is the meeting of a little white rabbit with red eyes and a magician on a train leading to the Secret Realm Academy.

This is a little white rabbit who is very afraid of loneliness. She found herself in the crowd and attracted her mysterious magician at a glance, and asked him the first question——

"Are you alone?"

The magician did not answer her question, only leaning on his oversized wand, turning a page of the book in his hand.

This seemed to be a gesture of expressing his own answer with his body, let the little white rabbit understand.

Ah, he is indeed alone.

The magician, like the little white rabbit, is an alien being incompatible with other people, so people who can't look directly at an overly huge object all ignore this compartment.

Seeing such a magician, Little White Rabbit felt that he couldn't just leave him alone.

So, a man’s magician was asked various questions by the little white rabbit——

What book are you reading?

Why do not you speak?

Is that huge piece of wood your magic wand?

...

In the end, a series of questions asked a world magician in a person's brain to expel the rabbit that broke into his world and performed the illusion of sunny fireworks for her.

However, the magician made a mistake. The little white rabbit likes fireworks and wants to learn how to make fireworks.

The mystery did not expel the same alien rabbits, but instead gave the rabbits a heart that never gets tired.

Driven by a mind called curiosity, the little white rabbit surrounded the magician every day in the Secret Realm Academy, learning from him the wisdom and memory that originally belonged to the magician.

Some are useful-the method of making illusions and dreams, the relationship between money and tradition, self-entertainment to pass the time... etc.

Some are useless-how to disappear in the sight of others, stories and new knowledge can replace communication with others, old toys even if they are handed over to others, etc.

There are also things that young white rabbits don’t understand--the moving picture is full of lies and beauty, the stories that have been known are either history or destiny, things that can be encountered in the omnipresent world and The part that has nothing to do with me accounts for the majority... Wait.

The little white rabbit learned all kinds of things around the magician, said a lot, and had a happy time.

But just like the magician said, in the passage of time, everything will change, but some things become too slow, you can't notice it, and mistakenly think that it is eternal.

At first, the little white rabbit thought that he would always follow the magician like this. Even if her unilateral question becomes an interaction between two people, the scenery of the two people together will not change much. Until one day the magician disappeared from the little white rabbit.

Little White Rabbit was very anxious, she tried her best to search every place in the Secret Realm Academy, and then she realized one thing for the first time-the scope of the world was too big for her.

The lost little white rabbit returned to the house where she grew up, but she discovered that the parents who grew up with her were not in the house she missed, and then little white rabbit added another sentence after what she realized. Words, make it complete-the scope of the whole world is too big for me, but only the people I know are her world.

The young white rabbit understood this prematurely and decided to live strong even if he was alone.

But in the end, the lonely little white rabbit who missed the old days can only silently guard the magician's legacy and the house where he grew up, waiting for the familiar people to return to the original place.

Finally one day, the little white rabbit who had grown up heard that the magician had appeared again, so she anxiously stood in front of the magician and asked:

"Where have you been in the year you disappeared? Why don't you take me with you?"

However, the same magician smiled and said:

"A year? But it was yesterday for me."

The little white rabbit, who was just a little older, couldn't understand the magician's smile, cried and laughed and followed the magician's footsteps again, mistakenly thinking that as long as he ran faster, he would be with him forever.

At that moment, the magician also understood that he had domesticated the rabbit that had been by his side, so he was also responsible for staying by the rabbit who was afraid of loneliness.

So, the magician and the little white rabbit left the academy in the secret realm together and embarked on a journey to find the truth.

During the journey, they met a group of lost people from different stories——

There are the brave red lotus, the administrator of the library, the gatekeeper with the silver key, the girl in love, the noble and confused princess, the high school student who flashes and thunder, the troublesome ghost who loves to lie, and the shining pure The child of the gem, the bounty hunter who seeks redemption and the guardian knight who repents of the past...

The magician built a boat for people who lost their way. They can find the way back to their hometown and the treasure of adventurers. The boat is equipped with mini gardens and rainbow-colored sails, as well as various interesting people. ...Is a very beautiful ship.

This time, the little white rabbit who had many partners was very happy. She thought that such an exciting adventure had just begun.

However, in this tide of sailing, the magician who was originally at the helmsman left everything on the ship and lost himself in the boundless sea of ​​void.

The second parting made Little White Rabbit see a wider world, and let Little White Rabbit understand that he was so small in the eyes of the magician.

It also made the little white rabbit understand that if she was tamed, she would risk tears. She wanted to stay by the wizard's side and walk with him, but the fact is that the little white rabbit woke up. At that time, the magician has disappeared, just like the stars of last night.

The magician once told the little white rabbit that what you see is just a body, even if he disappears in front of you, that is not true. The waves of the Void Sea are too big, and his wandering will just lose some luggage, which is nothing to be sad...

After another long wait, the little white rabbits left on the boat also began to grow up slowly, slowly becoming stronger, strong enough to protect the magician’s boat from the waves alone, and to guard this void sea. Beacon.

After a long wait, the magician finally found the rainbow-colored beacon in the sea of ​​void on the appointed day, and returned to the ship again with the white cat and squirrel he picked up on the lost road.

Seeing that strange and familiar magician boarded the bow with a new pet, the little white rabbit was even a little worried that he was no longer the only one beside him.

However, as expected, the little white rabbit still wanted to stay by the magician's side. It was the one who tamed her, and he also had to be responsible for the little white rabbit he tamed.

"Let's go find your relatives together."-After the little white rabbit puts on his favorite clothes for the magician, the magician proposed to the little white rabbit.

And this time embarking on a new journey, just like Zeng Jin, only the magician who has gone through a long time and the unique little white rabbit that he has recently tamed together...

"The story comes to an end temporarily, the new chapter even I don't know..."

Illiya closed the story book in her hands, feeling a hot face on her face, and ended her story meeting with some embarrassment.

"Anyway, this is all I can say anyway, how to behave in the future... No, Guise should tell you later, he is the one who will send you to the next journey..."

Illya put away the handwritten storybook in her hands under Alice Phil's shining gaze, stood up and calmed her mood.

"Illya, my mother didn't expect that you still have such a talent, ah huh—"

"Ah! ~Mom, don't say anything! ~I will regret it!" Illya rushed to her body and covered Alice Phil's mouth.

Then, Ilia turned her head and looked at Eimiya Kiritugu with a threatening look.

At this time, even Eimiya Kirishu, who had experienced countless battlefields, couldn't look directly at Ilia.

Reaching out, turning his head, lighting up a cigarette, all at once, but in his heart, he expects to have a good "talk" with someone...

Iliya turned her head again and looked at Serra who was packing her empty tea cups, the meaning was very obvious.

But Serra just turned his head stiffly and said nothing.

"Ah... Forget it, mom, this is for you."

Illya took out two cards from the golden ripples and handed them to Alice Phil.

Alice Phil, who was liberated by Ilia, was a little lost because of the end of intimacy with her daughter.

Decided to continue to make my daughter happy next time.

However, after she took the card from Ilia's hand, she still realized that it might be a matter of time, and asked with some doubts:

"what is this?"

"Ahem, this is a career card, which contains the power belonging to the heroic spirit. Using it, you can gain the power that originally belonged to a certain heroic spirit like Guise..." Ilia calmed down some of her feelings and explained:

"But these two are slightly different."

Alice Phil looked at the card faces of these two cards. One was printed with herself wearing a heavenly suit and Caster's job agency name, and the other was printed with Eomiya Kiritugu wearing black armor and The Assassin career cards in the tattered cloak... are all familiar figures.

"This is the other world line. You have other possibilities after you become the heroic spirits, the embodiment of the possibility, because they are all the same existence, so there will be almost no resistance or restriction when borrowing their power." Calmly explained:

"Just, if you look at their memories..."

"So what, our destiny has been completely changed by you and that kid. The originally planned future...whatever is good, it's not a decent destiny anyway."

Weimiya Kirishu, who had been silent, turned his back to Ilia, breathed out a puff of smoke, and said calmly.

"...Hmph, anyway, no matter which timeline you are, you are a big idiot chasing dreams to the death, fool! The ending is similar, who cares about you."

After finishing talking with an awkward expression, Yi Liya turned around and walked outside the Liudong Temple.

"Ilia, you..." Alice Phil hurried forward.

"I'll take a look at the progress of that idiot Guise. It takes one seventh of the world's rules for so long, so he must be slacking off..."

As Ilia said, the figure passed through a magic circle and disappeared.

"Ilia..."

Alice Phil looked at the direction where Ilia was disappearing and muttered.

"Madam, please don't worry, there is an unbreakable contract between Lord Jis and Lord Ilia, Lord Ilia must be fine."

At this moment, Serra came to Alice Phil and comforted.

"Well, that's right. Little Guise will definitely protect Ilia."

Alice Phil smiled immediately, thinking of the sloppy figure that had been guarding her for a few days...

"Madam, Illiya-sama asked me to instruct Madam two to use the employment card..."

"Well, please, Sierra, it seems that we can't be left behind..."

Xingke never knew what his real body was.

However, according to some previous verifications, except for him who has a strong uniqueness ~ lightnovelpub.net~ there can be no two him at the same time in the same world, there seems to be no other restrictions on his rebirth .

Drowned in the sea of ​​void, a random world, a random time, after being born again, he is still a hero (perhaps something else).

This time through the mechanism of the Holy Grail ritual, the "small hole" leading to the root is opened, and to the other side of the sea of ​​root...To be honest, it is actually a process for Xingji to understand itself.

Three questions in life, the first question-"Who am I?"

[Is this your wish? 】

"If you think so, so be it."

Since losing the five senses and realizing that he woke up again, Xingke didn't realize how long it took.

However, being awakened from a deep sleep with a question, Xingke also felt a bit strange.

Even if Xingke didn't need to open his eyes, he knew that he had come to a place without physical restraints.

So, after feeling the existence of asking him questions and having some connection with two people he knew well, he asked:

"Who are you... Justissa?"

[It can be said yes or no. 】

Concretized into a white robe with silver hair, an unknown existence replied:

[After the construction of the Great Holy Grail is completed, the existence named Justissa has returned to its roots. It's just that she also serves as the mission of the interface between the Holy Grail and the Root, so now the Root of One and the Whole will ask you questions in this form, outsider. 】

"Well, good, these are not important anymore, then realize my wish. Tell me, who am I?"

Xingke doesn't care about anything else at all, he only knows that this may be the second genuine world consciousness he has encountered that may answer his own questions...
