"Me...... Actually, it's a magic family. ”

Probably sensing Tsukahara Mingshi's clumsy concern, Mina changed her posture and leaned against a tree, leaning lazily on the thick trunk, feeling the rough bark through the touch of the cloth printed on her clothes.

"The Tosaka family seems to be a very powerful demon family."

She used what seemed to be a vague adjective.

Perhaps, the prestige of the Tosaka family is not attractive to an innocent little girl who grew up abroad.

For her, it's similar to [homework], right? Although I know that if I want to learn well, I have to complete my homework, but few people enjoy boring homework.

For her, magic is such a thing.

She prefers carefree play outside to the elegant honor of the Tosaka family.

"It seems that from a very early age, it is the big family of Winterwood Town that occupies the best spiritual veins in Winterwood Town. Among the three families that were previously responsible for organizing the Holy Grail War was the Tosaka family, and we were responsible for providing the land where the Holy Grail came. ”

Mina spoke slowly, pausing as she spoke, as if organizing the language.

Her voice trembled, and she could feel that her emotions were still unstable. Once the squeezing emotions began to be vented, it was like a torrent, unstoppable, and she organized her broken language and slowly expounded her situation.

Say it to Tsukahara, too, to yourself.

This is the same as the starting point of Tsukahara's sudden self-defeating identity.

It's just that I want to find someone to talk to.

The two are in a similar situation, and Carl uses magic to seal the world of Tsukahara Mingshi, so that he has nothing to do with others. Mina Tosaka almost cut off contact with other magicians because of her grandmother, and although she had a lot of friends at school, none of them could talk about magic.

In the hearts of the two of them, the fierce poison called loneliness had been precipitating for a long time, but it was stimulated by Surut's flame magic sword and burst open, as if two injured beasts were licking each other's wounds beyond their reach.

"My grandmother was very strict, and every day she taught me the use of magic, memorized techniques, deduced engraving and drawing, and learned different magic spells...... Super troublesome...... However, my grandmother said that I was the kind of gifted person...... So I've been working on it...... But ......"

Saying this, Mina's voice fell low again, and her face couldn't help but show a look of frustration.

"Sure enough...... It's that I'm thinking it's too simple...... Actually, I don't know anything about the Holy Grail War or anything......"

It's not modesty, she really can't understand it. Her understanding of the Holy Grail War came entirely from her grandfather's memoir-like narrative, and she had no idea that the Holy Grail War was strictly informal, nor did she know how much heavy information was hidden under her grandfather's relaxed face.

All she knew was that her grandfather spoke very easily. However, his original intention was just not to want his granddaughter to understand the cruel world too early.

And then there's the little news that Abner mentioned......

The more she thinks about it now, the more Mina feels heartwarming.

I just wanted to take a breath, and I ended up doing something that caused trouble for everyone.

She didn't know exactly what would happen, but she ...... My grandfather must have been trapped in the Ice Castle.

It's been almost a day now, not a drop of water, no rice, an empty stomach, no good sleep, my brain is muddy, several places on my body are torn, my clothes are all muddy, and I was pointed at the head by Lohiya with a gun before......

If there is such a thing as [if] in the world, she will definitely prevent herself from coming to the Holy Grail War.

"Now think about it...... I'm a kid...... How can you win...... Too confident...... I've never seen the world, and I always think I'm the best...... No wonder my grandmother always said that I was still far behind......"

"Well, I'm pretty much the same...... When I first came here, I also felt that even a person like me, if I fought with my life, I could kill one or two masters, right? It turned out later that there was nothing so good at all. Actually, we originally wanted to summon Saber Ziegfried, but when we summoned it, we were attacked by the Assassin. ”

Listening to her complaints, Tsukahara Mingshi also took the initiative to complain back.

"People like you?"

Mina Tosaka smiled and looked at him without interrupting.

(Actually, you didn't notice, you're much better than us...... ）

She thought so.

Normal people have long panicked when they encounter that kind of terrible thing, the so-called six gods have no master, it is said that this state is in the face of a sudden outbreak of crisis, only truly trained people can respond quickly, for an ordinary person, in the face of a crisis will be flustered, will be crazy, that is normal.

Although it is a bit unreasonable to say this, Mina Tosaka really feels that she is an ordinary person.

In contrast, Tsukahara is much more reliable.

He is reliable, not because of how strong his ability is, nor because he has any connections or resources. He's a very common apprentice in magic...... No, that's not right...... Someone like him, who has no foundation at all, is rare in the world......

His most reliable thing is not that outward being, but his reason.

The kind of character that can still stay calm and make correct judgments in times of crisis.

He will not panic, he will not be afraid, and the more he is in danger, the more he will show a calm posture......

People can't help but want to believe him. Even though she knew that his intelligence was not outstanding, and that his ability was not excellent, Mina was still willing to believe him.

And......

He......

He's a good guy.

She was already sure of that.

Whether it was when he faced Hicks before, he fled with himself, or when he had to help himself in the Ice Castle later, and before when Lohia wanted to kill himself......

He doesn't think about things as a person......

Very stupid. Stupid no.

But...... It's this stupid character that is so reliable now.

(Yes...... Try to believe him? ）

However, not noticing the girl's subtle emotional changes, Tsukahara Mingshi still chattered.

“…… Later, I found out that Carl was the one who caused me to have a home and couldn't go back, so I could only go to the clock tower with him, and as a result, the person I always thought was my friend turned out to be my worst enemy......"

"You...... Hate him? ”

Because she didn't hear the hatred in Tsukahara Mingshi's words, Mina asked strangely.

"Nope."

Sure enough, the expected answer.

Although, Carl did a lot of things that made me unhappy......

But...... He is also ......

"He was the one who introduced me to the world of magic...... I...... I don't regret that...... Although, I can't forgive him...... But, I can't hate him either......"

He sighed in confusion.

Although, it is strange to say this, but if there was no Carl, I am afraid that I would spend my life in such mediocrity, there will be no magic, there will be no fighting, naturally...... No, I met the girl in a dark green robe.

Being able to know her can never be evaluated as a bad thing.

Being able to go to the clock tower and study under Mr. Ebner is definitely something that Tsukahara will remember for the rest of his life.

"After all, this kind of thing, I can only say that it is my wishful thinking. If you are too gullible about others, this is what will happen. ”

Tsukahara smiled, unable to tell whether he was happy or sad.

"I think it's a good thing to trust people."

Mina said so.

"Thank you."

The boy responded.

"At least, I'm grateful to you...... If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would already be in that ice castle...... No, it should be said that earlier, when he was chased by the man with the red sword, he ......"

"Well, who made me such a nosy character?"

Tsukahara didn't say it, in fact, this was the most important reason why he couldn't hate Carl.

[You can't turn a blind eye to those who are isolated]. In other words, the wedge that Carl laid made him unable to watch others have accidents, and he became a good old man who was nosy.

This is the happiest thing for Tsukahara Mingshi.

Many times, before helping others, people always think a lot, whether they will cause trouble, whether they will be blackmailed, whether they will take revenge...... However, Tsukahara will not consider these. Because of this wedge, he can help those in need without hindrance.

This is exactly what he thinks.

Perhaps, Carl's original intention was to make himself better controlled, right? However, as far as the result is concerned, he is happy, and this spiritual hint prevents him from completely attributing Carl to a bad person.

At most, it can only be said that the interests of the two are different, right?

Tsukahara thought so.

"So...... What happens after that? ”

Mina smiled and asked him.

"yes...... After that, what do we do? ”

Tsukahara Mingshi is also starting to worry.
