"This has to start from the time that is incomprehensible to mortals, this land is only a drop in the ocean in a thousand worlds, another world farther away than the end of the universe..."

The world in the storyteller's mouth has nothing to do with the world in which the girls live. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info can be said that maybe it's just something he casually pulled out. However, with the storyteller's words, Zi Buyu suddenly found that he had mentioned many things that ordinary people could not know at all, so he listened patiently to the storyteller's words. This one was talking about "monsters", and the storyteller was also talking about it.

On the other side of that world, beyond the boundaries that humans cannot cross, it is a paradise for "monsters". It rejects life and death, rejects the rules of physics, rejects the passage of time, nihilizes everything, denies everything about "humans", and denies only the world where "monsters" exist. Even if you are originally human, when you get there, you will become "monsters" - terrifying minds, powers, terrible rules that transcend the laws of physics, everything is like a denial of the world in which humans live. The existence of living in that kind of world is also like a creature that only appears in dreams and legends.

But humans are not incapable of understanding their existence, as if to show off their "power", they are back again.

Thousands of years before the invention of the steam engine, magic accompanied mankind. It's just that this ancient, slow and long-lasting thing can't satisfy people's wishes, and human beings want something 'convenient' more than ten or hundred years of magical practice, as well as obscure spells and formations. In the eyes of storytellers, it is a matter of course for humans to choose "science". And not everyone is hungry for "science", and the first large-scale conflict between two people who pursue different things began in medieval Europe. It is also known as "witch hunting". All people know is that human beings who seek power abuse their rights and seek 'something'.

Everything was decided at the beginning, whether it was magic or magic, and after humans defeated the "monsters" with their power, they abandoned them. The results are reassuring in the present, but people forget that science has never helped them defeat the "monsters". Most of the "monsters" left the "world" under the leadership of a certain monster and never appeared in front of people again.

No one knows, the "monsters" have been separated from humans for 108,000 miles, and humans have refused to admit their existence for a long time.

Now, countless "monsters" have crossed that barrier and lived with humanity as if they were once again ridiculing humanity's self-destruction. No one even knows who they are, and humanity can only treat their fellow human beings as monsters while doing stupid things to the end. And the souls of the people in the world that have ended will not disappear with the world, they will wander in time and space, and one day find a new place to live - but, can that be considered a place to live?

And among these souls, there are a few who can remember their past, which I once called "reincarnation." But this is neither reincarnation nor reincarnation, and remember that time can never be turned back.

"Is that true?" asked Zi Buyu.

"As I said at the beginning, it's just another world," the storyteller nodded slightly, "but what humans do best is to repeat the mistakes of the past, and no one can guarantee that it will be safe here." What you believe is true, and if you take it as false, it is false. I'm not here to tell anyone about these things, it's just a "hobby". ”

"Is that so," Zi Buyu nodded regretfully, "Then the old man who has no money, what's your name?"

"Hey, you little fellow doesn't have any lip sync," the storyteller touched his nose, "and you're definitely more interested in other things than my name." ”

“... Don't you know everything?"

"Can't you ask? Form is important," the storyteller said with a slight meaning, "and if there is no form, and there is only 'take for granted,' and self-righteous opinions about everything, then the result will be self-evident." Do you think I know what you're trying to ask, but do you really know what you think I know? How do you know sure I really know what you want to know? If you want to ask something different from what I guess you want to know, you still can't know anything?"

“... Speak human words. ”

"You can only understand, but you can't say it," the storyteller tapped his shoulder twice and continued, "There is only one word, there is no matter for granted, what is one plus one?"

"Two, of course. Zi Buyu said in a disdainful tone.

"If the other person is an uneducated person who doesn't know the meaning of one plus one, and one day someone teaches him that one plus one equals three, he will always think that one plus one equals three until someone corrects his mind." Was he wrong? It may seem to us that way, but... Why is he wrong? Because everybody knows that one plus one equals two, so is he wrong? Or is it wrong to say that one plus one equals three?"

“... Ah," Zi Buyu said as if she had thought of something, then clapped her hands and said, "So who is Dio Connor?"

"Hey, do you still ask?" the storyteller closed his eyes, "then, let me tell you a little more story." ”

A girl with a miserable life, a girl who survived by dirty means since childhood, and a girl who embarked on the road of dispute. Those things came into his ears word by word, thinking, considering, understanding, understanding.

“... All you can see is all she is," the storyteller smiled, putting away the money from the bowl at her feet, "If there's anything she's hiding, it's that she's decided to put an end to her past, and the name 'DIO' will be heavier than she thought, and maybe there will be a lot of hard times ahead." ”

"And then, who are you? What's your name?"

"The world is unpredictable, and there will be a time later, so come back then, ask anything you want to know. ”

The storyteller said this, weighing the money in his hand, and walked away with leisurely steps. Zi stood there thoughtlessly, so, who is she? Who could it be? She glanced at Dio and his party who had come out of the hotel with their arms folded.

"Hey, Zi Buyu, how about we go to the hot springs tonight, let's be happy!" Daria asked, but she seemed happier than anyone else.

“... Have you forgotten one thing," Zi Buyu held his forehead, "Isn't it possible that I will be soaked alone?"

As he said this, Daria froze in place. Zi Buyu's deceptive appearance can always make people forget his original gender, Dio snickered on the side, and then nodded to Yuru and said:

"I'll go to the dockyard to pick up Sakuya and contact me when the time comes," the girl turned her head and looked at Zi Buyu with bad intentions, "Old man, do you want me to bring Old York to accompany you ♂?"

"Of course he can, if he wants to. ”

Looks like this guy doesn't care at all. Dio didn't really call Old York, she was just trying to see Zi silent, but it turned out to be a big failure. The fact that this guy who looked about the same age as Yuru was actually more than 500 years old was often forgotten by Dior, and in the end he was deflated. Dio pursed his lips and was about to leave, but Zi Buyu stopped her.

“... Dior, have you ever had a loved one?"

"Of course not. Dior replied without hesitation.

"So, what would you do if your loved one was killed?" Zi Buyu asked.

"I," Dio thought for a moment, then shrugged indifferently, "I'll use her death to blackmail the murderer to get the most benefit, and then torture the murderer half to death, and finally throw him to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean." ”

"In other words, you're still going to get revenge, right?"

"Ha, what are you talking about, if there is that value, I will do it even if that person is not a murderer," Dior chuckled, "so I didn't say? I don't have that kind of thing like a beloved, I don't have it now, and I won't have it in the future." For me, there are only two kinds of people in this world, the 'things' that belong to me, and the 'things' that don't belong to me. ”

“......”

"That's all the nonsense, be careful with what you do next. Dio said as he paced away.
