The Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters at the Ministry of Magic is not a wasted institution. Even if the Ministry of Magic is now selectively blind in all its efforts with the Order of the Phoenix, it doesn't mean that as a member of the Order of the Phoenix, I can give the Ministry of Magic a group of cowards who lurk around the Order of the Phoenix and Hogwarts like hyenas, pounce on them at the slightest flaw, and plan to bite hard, so as to leave Dumbledore off the altar any excuse to attack.

Rather than having a bad organization like the Reversal of Contingencies or the Memory Erasure Command in the future carry out some tough measures, she'd rather do it herself.

She stared condescendingly at the undersized young man, and her wand slipped out of her sleeve, and she pressed the tip of the rod against the temple of the young man, intending to pull out the beautiful silver-white bundle of memories from it.

"I definitely don't want to do anything bad to you...... It's really for your own good......" she muttered, one last time to the young man.

"These things...... You shouldn't know. If you know, you may be in danger to yourself...... Remember, hurry home. Then get your family out of here as soon as possible and out of the UK......"

"Remember, if you really have to come back...... Then please come back in three years. At that point, everything should be over. ”

The young man stared at her with wide eyes. However, to her surprise, he did not struggle or resist desperately.

Of course, desperately struggling, screaming, or resisting this kind of unflashy reaction is not Keigo Keibe's style. Even though he had to deal with the three unforgivable curses of some vicious villains not long ago, and the figures of his companions who had fallen to the ground with the misfortune of being cursed, his face was pale, but his expression was still trying to maintain his composure—which was not an easy task for a child who had just turned ten.

And now, he just stared straight into her face with those big bright eyes open, under her restraint. After a moment, he blinked.

Then he hit the nail on the head and asked, "What are you going to do...... What seems terrible, is it a good thing for me?"

Liu Quan: "...... Yes. That's it. ”

She tried to squeeze out a casual smile, but it probably looked a bit of a failure.

"We adults also have hellish rules that we have to follow. She tried to make herself look more relaxed, adding half-jokingly, "...... Even if I don't do it today, someone else will find you in a few days. At that point, those guys' attitudes may be even more blunt and rude...... They don't care if the family is decent and respectable, or if you have a lot of talent in tennis that you should cherish......"

Perhaps seeing that there was a trace of serious maintenance of herself hidden in her blunt and unnatural attitude, the little boy paused for a moment and nodded slightly with a cautious attitude.

“...... I get it. He said, followed by an unintentional attack without warning.

"I believe in you. ...... Because you look like you're about to cry. He pursed his lips and said with a little hesitation, "Although I don't know why you want to help me, but your heart ...... Uh, kindness, I've received it all. ”

Willow Springs: !!

Although she knew that the little boy in front of her would never grow into the young man she had met, a strong tear still rushed into her eyes unexpectedly.

She had to take several deep breaths to calm her surging emotions.

Then, keeping his hand movements steady, he carefully selected a bundle of memory filaments from the brain of the trace, sorted it out with a little means, and then carefully put it back.

There was a moment of confusion on the face of the young man. Then the focus of his big eyes refocused, and he cautiously looked at Liu Quan, who had let go of him for the first time, and was standing two steps away in front of him at the moment, with a righteous (?) face.

“...... Thank you. "The memories of the dark wizards in the park who abused their companions and tried to do the same, and then were rescued by a strange young woman, teleported around are perfectly modified to "I occasionally want to experience the life of ordinary people, so I didn't let the driver pick me up, and on the way home after playing ball, I was knocked to the ground by a drag racing car, and then a passing female teacher bravely reached out and sent her home" After that, the little boy hesitated for a moment, but still in a polite manner, stood at the door of the house and thanked the young female teacher.

...... However, the young British lady looked really ...... He always felt that there was a strange ...... in her The familiarity made him believe her so easily?!

However, the young governess had an impeccable smile on her face, looking gentle and harmless. Standing at the foot of the steps in front of his house, she lifted her chin slightly and looked him straight into the eyes.

"You're welcome. Her voice also sounded clear and soft, which was very much in line with her first impression.

“...... Glad to help you. She hesitated slightly, and added.

The young man's brow furrowed slightly with a hint of confusion.

The words she added sounded right, but he just felt his heart tighten inexplicably.

...... This strange reaction prompted him to ask a lot of questions, as usual.

“...... You seem to have something else to say to me, ma'am?" he politely tentatively said.

Then he noticed that the beautiful green pupils of the young English lady in front of him had shrunk slightly, and her eyes seemed to change—precisely, as if she were looking at him with a gentle and sad gaze, or...... Looking at others through him?

"Britain is now ...... It's dangerous," she said, after a moment's hesitation, finally choosing her words carefully.

"There's a big bad guy...... He wants to take control of the world and kill all the good guys......" she continued.

The young man furrowed his brow even more suspiciously.

Big bad guy?!Take control of the world?!Is he listening to a fairy tale that coaxes a child who can't fool him for a long time?!

"Good. He replied perfunctorily, looking at her suspiciously. "So?"

Perhaps seeing that he didn't believe her words, the young woman in front of her smiled bitterly, and her gaze became a little earnest.

"So...... Don't stay here. Go back to your hometown and come back when things settle down......"

The young boy felt that their conversation was slipping more and more down an absurd path.

She told him to go back to his own country. If it had been uttered by someone else, he would have been alarmed that it was nothing more than racist rhetoric from contemptible white supremacists, bastards like "Get out of our country!" that should have been crushed a hundred times, but the young Englishwoman in front of him had a sincere expression that he could tell that she was genuinely worried about him—and it made him feel lost and confused.

Do they know each other? Do they know each other? And, what is she? Does she have access to some big secret secrets that will never appear in the media, because she has relatives and friends who work for that unspeakable secret state apparatus?

Admittedly, there seems to be a bit more so-called hate crimes in recent times...... But those crimes were not committed against a particular ethnic group. That alone doesn't mean that this country is no longer suitable for him to live in?!

The little boy with brown blond hair and round face seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then his big, bright eyes narrowed suspiciously, snorted lightly, and said, "Why should Uncle Ben believe your alarmist words, ma'am?"

Liu Quan was slightly stunned.

At this moment, the sound of unlocking came from behind the door of the gate.

Rarely, the little residual bad taste in Liu Quan's heart moved.

She smiled at the little boy who raised his chin proudly.

"Because you have to believe me. ...... If I want to achieve something, I will be able to achieve it. If you don't believe me, you can take a look. ”

...... Through the eyes of the little boy in front of her, Liu Quan said to the young man with purple-black hair, facial features, and even body lines in the depths of her memory.

"I can also make you believe things that no one else believes—"

"Seeing what no one else can see...... Miracles?"

The next second, she removed the tip of her wand, pointed at the two hidden cameras next to the door, and whispered something, and the tip of the wand suddenly shot out a white light, shattering the two cameras to pieces.

The young boy was stunned, his eyes widened, and he was about to shout angrily, "What the hell are you doing, you!", when the door was pulled open from within, and the reassuring and trusting face of the old butler Michael emerged from behind the door.

Liu Quan tilted his head and smiled at the little boy in the trace.

"Okay, now that you're home safely, I can rest assured. Remember, hurry back home and don't stay here any longer. The UK is now ...... It's dangerous, and the next few years will only get more dangerous...... Until someone can save enough strength and preparation to defeat the last Great Demon King, Britain will not be safe and will not ...... for a day"

"If you really want to come back here, then come back in three years. By then, it's definitely over – the good side will win, and I'll make sure that. ”

Michael seemed to be startled by the headless and brainless unfolding of the god outside the door. But his professionalism soon prevailed. While quietly trying to reach out and pull his young master behind him, he was about to ask the strange woman outside the door without a trace.

But the young woman with a strange little wooden stick in her hand just glanced at him, and then continued to say to his young master:

“...... If the good side doesn't win, it probably doesn't matter where you stay in the world. Her voice was like a sigh, "But anyway, I was probably gone by then." These things are no longer within my control—"

"Please take care, Jibe-kun. She suddenly changed to Japanese-she actually said to the young master in Japanese—— her eyes were gentle and sad.

"Remember what I said to you. Because if you don't believe what you see and hear...... No one can believe it anymore. ”

"And- you're not going to betray me, are you?"

Seeing her suddenly wink at him, the little boy was stunned.

In the next second, the tip of the wand in her hand was pointed at the old butler Michael, and shouted, "Forget it!"

The white light struck the old butler in the chest, and he staggered backwards and then fell back again.

The young man's eyes widened. But before he could utter a word, the young Englishwoman shoved him the shoulder, pushing him through the door. Then she slammed the door slam in front of her, blocking her last gaze.

When he returned to the park, Willow Springs found that there were already people from the Ministry of Magic busy. The leader was Arthur Weasley. Noticing her presence, he quietly nodded at her slightly, and then made a "It's okay here, you can go" gesture. So Liu Quan, who understood it, immediately phantomed again.

Of course, apparitions are forbidden at Hogwarts. So she landed at Hogsmeade, and thought it would be a good idea to walk back to the castle today.

However, halfway through, the angry system bacteria resurfaced to spoil her mood.

[Players must have had a great day today.] Its sound can almost be described as Mori Leng.

[However, because of your recklessness and recklessness, you are about to fail.] At the cost of failing a mission to save a stranger who is actually unknown to you, how did I not know that you still have such a crazy side? Maybe you should go to work in "Singing Contrarian", because your style is more compatible with the two sons and daughters of the Lovegood family——]

Willow Springs still walks leisurely along the road in the wilderness. With one hand in her pocket, she slowly curled her eyebrows as she looked out over a green, vibrant wilderness.

[I guess...... This can't be the "pre-failure warning" you said about deducting 100,000 points, right?] she asked, half-jokingly.

The system snorted coldly.

[Of course.] If the player accidentally triggers the pre-failure warning, 100,000 points will be deducted immediately. 】

[You only have one chance now, because after triggering the third "Pre-Failure Warning", the world will collapse.] So you can't use up the third chance, and I can't let you go crazy to that extent. 】

With that, it paused for a moment. Then, as if for a long time, the players who raided the world were incompetent, and the last hope had to be pinned on a disobedient and adventurous guy like her, so the accumulated anger erupted violently, and it spoke again, and the language was unexpectedly straightforward and sharp.

【...... Now you're satisfied. The voice of the system bacteria is flat and cold.

[However, this world is out of self-help, and the "rules" of this world have been locked. 】

Liu Quan was slightly stunned, revealing an expression like a question mark.

The system bacteria still spoke in a cold, mechanical tone, like some kind of ultimatum.

You will no longer be able to get a shortcut to complete your mission in this world. You have to spend your life like this year after year, in waiting and in the long darkness...... Through the deepest darkness of those last days, if you are not careful, you may completely fail and lose the opportunity to go home-]

[Just to save a stranger who hasn't even done anything kind to you.] 】

The system sneered after a pause.

[Hehe...... As one of the best players I've seen so far, you're really a bit of a staggerer?!]

Liu Quan was silent for a long time.

[He's not a stranger.] ]

[He's a good boy.] In the future, I will grow into the person I am familiar with. ]

[The best person who doesn't know "Nobuya Yanagizumi", but still lives seriously, pursues dreams seriously, and cares about others seriously.] ]

[I don't think I saved the wrong person.] In this way, it is enough. ]

The system seemed to sigh slightly, and finally gave up trying to communicate with the stubborn-minded player, and stopped talking.

On the night of her return to Hogwarts, Willow Springs went to the Responsive Room on the top floor.

Pushing open the door, she couldn't help but exclaim.

In the corner of the room sat the mirror of Eris.

It was a very imposing mirror, high to the ceiling, with a golden border, supported by two claw-shaped feet, and at the top of it was engraved the incomprehensible phrase "erisedstraehrwohsi".

Of course, she had been to the Room of Requirement countless times, but she had never seen this magic mirror here. In the past, she never thought that she would need this magic mirror to regain her courage.

She stopped a few meters away from the mirror, locked her gaze on the spell-like words carved into the mirror, and whispered, "Butyourheart's desire."

She stared at the mirror intently, her lips slowly pursed into stubborn and tight lines.

Then she slowly walked over to the mirror and looked into it.

Under her gaze, the scene displayed in the mirror slowly changed. The background behind her slowly blurred in the mirror, like an out-of-focus photograph, but the blurred image in the middle of the mirror did the opposite, slowly becoming clearer.

Finally, the image was fully revealed—

Her eyes slowly widened in astonishment, until they reached their limit.

“...... That's right. I don't know how long it took, but she finally let out a long sigh of relief and whispered to herself.

"Is that so......"

It turns out that going home has unconsciously become the thing she desires the most at the moment.

However, the irony is that from the beginning of entering this game, the highest goal she can set has been, and it has been, and it has only been "going home". Other people, other things, can never be her end, never-

The corners of her lips slowly hooked.

"When we were separated, you probably would never have imagined that I would become such a person......

"But I can assure you—"

"You, you'll live well. She whispered, a look of determination on her face.

"Everybody's going to. ”

“...... Do you believe what I say?"

"Even if you are in two different worlds, even if you can't see, you can't know ......"

"I'll do it too. That's the vow. ”
