Chapter 174
Chapter 174, Truth 5 - Fate
Although I'm just a high school student writer named Yi Duyan. However, I still have to admit that there is so-called drama!"
Drama, banter, banter!
Encounters, reunions, fate!
The so-called drama is often associated with the fluctuating fate.
As I do now, I am telling other people's stories as a novelist.
But not far away, the person I was telling the story was telling her own story.
It's a real hassle.
Even if it is described as bizarre, it is an extremely strange thing. Importantly, I had to continue.
If I don't continue, I will be punished by God.
It is a story of saying or dying, a ritual to cut off the nostalgia of the dead for the living.
But
As for why I knew about it.
That's because, that's what the gods told me.
...
And the rest of the part, just like Alice said before. β
"At that time, uh-huh... In terms of time, the year 305 of the new calendar... That is, 7 years ago. β
"This Squire boy who looks like a fried cat was 10 years old. With his own purpose, faith, or rather persistence, he entered the big family known as the Hohenheim family. became the playmate (dead man) of the two eldest ladies of this family who were still sitting leisurely there in this crisis situation. β
"However, if you are a dead soldier, you should do your best and die as soon as possible. That way, I won't have to have such a headache!"
"You guy, the Squire clan is also an extremely rare and sacred existence among subhumans. Even if it's fried hair, it's not a fried cat, it's Squier. β
"This stupid brother, why do you complain about such a strange place. β
"Woooooooooo Could it be that the magician-sama also has thoughts about Ike? In that case, there will be more competitors besides Alice and Angela? β
Suddenly, Livia screamed in surprise. The voice overshadowed mine in an instant, even sharper than the finishing touches on the magic array. But compared to the sharp voice, what was even sharper was the second half of the speech, which was as sharp as the sword of Maximes.
Do you add "craftsman" skills to your language organization skills?
"So, why don't I even know that I can read such a profound meaning in my words? There is also a young girl with tears in her eyes but angry eyes, and an angel covering her face on the sofa. Don't give me a look of a voyeur. β
"Wow. β
"Even if it's an angel, it's useless to scream cutely, it hurts.... Youxia, why do you want to pinch me. β
"Wow. β
β....β
"Wow. β
"Ah, I see, Yuxia is also very cute....it hurts... Ah, I was wrong, Yuxia is the cutest. β
The pain dissipated, and Yuxia, who was holding my arm, smiled satisfactorily at my answer. Then politely (defiantly) smiled sweetly at the angel and continued to rest his head on my shoulder?
Is this some kind of punitive game, and why do young girls and Livia have the kind of eyes they look at garbage?
"Uh-huh!"
"Anyway, it's just a simple reasoning and speculation - although this young girl is now 16 years old! Well, in this case, this young girl has the attributes of a legitimate young girl? This is still very popular among a small number of people. Although she is a partner with Youxia, it shouldn't affect the partnership contract if I sell her. β
"You guy, you really shouldn't be here to talk to people like you. Miss, this person and this room are in danger right now, please evacuate with me as soon as possible. β
"So, Ike, don't call me Miss. β
However, the story of the magician is not finished, and Angela is curious about the rest of the story. β
"Second Miss, they all said that this place is very dangerous now. And, this guy ...."
"Woo, Ike, don't be so anxious. Let's listen to the magician's "high opinion"!"
"Master Magician, please keep talking!"
After the Squire boy was stopped by Livia, the angel made a cute expression to me like a puppy wagging its tail, and said softly with both hands.
"First of all, the reason why I know the specific age. β
"Because, this young girl, didn't she say it. β
"When she was 14 years old, her eldest brother was 17 and her eldest sister was 16. And the boy next to him with a straight face and an unhappy face is older than the young girl and younger than her sister Lena. His age is naturally between 14 and 16, isn't it? I just took the median value of being 1 year older than the young girl, so why all the fuss!"
"Woooooooo
"Wow, the magician is amazing. It is possible to speculate so objectively. β
Both Livia and Angela were amazed at me. However, it is not happy at all. In their eyes, what should a magician be? It's a guess that any slightly normal human being can do.
Speaking according to the speculation of the syllogism, an ordinary logical reasoning, the magician is very powerful if he does it, and it is normal for ordinary people on the contrary to do it. In conclusion, wouldn't it be said that magicians are stupid! However, no matter how you look at it, there is only one inference that can be established.
I got another incomprehensible message, but I didn't forget my own job because of their interruptions.
After gathering my thoughts, I continued.
And, though it's just my personal speculation, perhaps, it was at this time that the collapse of the girl named Lena Squire began. β
"For the big brainless family that values the purity and inheritance of bloodline, bloodline and inheritance are inseparable from the very beginning. The purer the inheritance, the more pure bloodlines are needed. β
"But contrary to the big family, the more ordinary the family, the more important it is to pay attention to the bonds between family members!"
"At that time, a boy named Ike probably caused a great shock to the girl named Lena Squier. β
....
Why is this happening?
If you want new clothes, haven't I already given them the kind of clothes that are suitable for civilians, and what is there to be dissatisfied with?
If you just want to eat something delicious, don't you already give them all the better food in the house!
Why, do not hesitate to do this.
Why, do it to this point for me, an unsuccessful sister, and to me, an outsider.
Obviously, as long as the four of them figure out a way together, no matter what kind of difficulty, no matter what kind of difficulty... No matter how difficult it will be... We'll be able to spend it together!
However, at the age of 11, Ike, who was only 10 years old, became the playmate of the eldest lady of the Hohenheim family!
Nominal playmates, of course!
Hehehe, playmate, what a common word that sounds.
For the noble daughter of those families, Childe. What they need is not a playmate at all, but another profession that should not exist in this world in the first placeβthe dead.
And Iketa, just to make the conditions at home better.
Just to be able to keep the children in school at home.
Just to be able to share the pressure of parents.
Became a dead man!
Is he stupid, is he in the water in his brain!
Ike... My brother is only 10 years old! If anyone must have to give everything for this family, I don't think Ike should be the first to do it....
Every year after that, every time Alice's birthday, Ike would send Alice and his eldest brother a lot of things back to me.
And not just Alice's birthday.
At the beginning of each month, Ike always sends back all sorts of things.
Clothes, toys, money, specialty food, books, and only one sentence of a letter from Miss Livia.
No matter how reluctantly.
Every time Alice's birthday, her father and mother's family would always get together and smile as if they were celebrating a holiday.
Even in normal times, the guilt on my father's face became stronger and stronger, and my mother cried more and more secretly. Even the eldest brother, who has always been "willing to be ordinary" and took the initiative to give up his studies, has tried his best to learn everything he can learn.
On that day, everyone will have a look of relief.
Because Ike is still alive, because my brother he- is still alive.
However, the day three years later.
When Lena was 16 years old, the Hohenheim family sent Ike a death benefit. Even if Ike became a dead soldier, the family, which had always been financially heavy, finally became relaxed with that allowance, so easy that even if his parents lost their jobs, they could still live a prosperous life for decades.
However, no matter how heavy the subsidy was, it could not save Ike's life.
Perhaps, everyone in the family is ready to lose Ike.
I just didn't expect it to be so fast.
Yes, this must be the punishment for a child who lies.
Three months after receiving the news of Ike's death, a girl approached me.
....
"And the person who found Lena is Livia... No, it's Ryu Livia. β
I don't know what kind of expression I have right now, but it's probably pretty ugly. Even if I stiffened and pulled out a smile, I could feel the muscles in my face tremble like a wail. Again, this feeling, a feeling of extreme disgust filled my heart, but I could not find a reason. It was as if there was an inextinguishable flame in his chest, and the burning person was restless.
The story is almost over, and I still have no clue where this emotion is coming from.
What am I going to do?
Silently raising her head, Angela still had a smile on her face, pure as a delicate lotus. Probably, there are no troubles that can pollute this second lady of the Hohenheim family. The Squire siblings closest to me were in turmoil, and the Squire boy's facial features were even more distorted.
Turning her head again to stare at Livia, who smiled calmly, as if she was ready to face it all alone, no matter what she lost.
It dawned on me.
I understood the source of the disgusting emotion, and the cause of the pain in my chest that burned like a soldering iron.
Whether it's me, Lena or Livia, or even Alice, we're all the same.
The same powerlessness, the same self-righteousness, the same astral path.
But what is different is that someone has fished me out of the suffocating darkness and given me hope to continue to live in the light.
"It was also on that day that the existence of Squill Lena completely collapsed. There is only one girl left behind who wants to save her brother, named Ryu Lena. A gentle, considerate, heroic cuckoo bird! But what that girl did was wrong!"
"Absolutely, completely, the ultimate mistake. β
Sure enough, I still don't want to be a bad guy!
Neither I nor they were wrong.
We all feel that human existence is too small, that there is no self in this world, and nothing will change.
I firmly believe that if my sacrifice can be exchanged for the happiness of the person I like, it must be worth it.
But that's wrong!
Absolutely, completely, the ultimate error.
It's a strange fate.
Not so long ago, I... is also blamed by the gods like this.
