"It doesn't matter," said Ehime-sama, "at least for the time being." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"Doesn't matter? That's not what you just said, and why did I intervene to help Alice in the name of returning the favor of Lord Shenqi? ”

"Of course, it's still related, but it's a little different from our usual cognition, so it's correct to say that they have no relationship from the perspective of common sense."

"Then please solve Komachi's confusion from the perspective of non-common sense, Eihime-sama."

"Well—I can't explain it, I'm on the way to seek, and that's what makes Alice special."

"Alas," the Grim Reaper who was gradually dazzled from lying on his back sighed sideways, "Why did I come to be the Grim Reaper, I originally thought that passing the final spiritual test and achieving eternity could make my head more enlightened, and I didn't have to use my brain so hard to make myself lazy, but after that, I didn't understand and didn't understand more than when I was a mortal, and seeing too much and too far made my brain more laborious, so I followed you to transform the underworld and hope to be able to see more and farther, and then ...... It's almost cured of laziness! ”

"Hahaha, you can keep yourself from thinking too much."

"When you see and hear everything in your head, how can you not think about it."

"I've come up with a way to maybe try to explain what is so special about Alice's existence." Eihime-sama said.

"Oh! Come on, let me see. ”

The underworld—the two of them, or the presiding judge's inner corner—had changed with the turn of the season's thoughts.

The hazy, vague fog of the underworld was swept away in an instant, revealing not the similar-looking but endless plains of the underworld that Miss Komachi was accustomed to, but a small village surrounded by mountains, which stretched in all directions and disappeared into the endless fog, and from a distance, it seemed that the village was the most real existence in front of him.

"Wow!" Komachi craned his neck to look at the village as if he was staring at the screen with short-sighted eyes, "Isn't this the little village I was born into!" Eihime-sama still remembers. ”

"It's not about the village, look inside."

Komachi zoomed in and looked into the open space between the houses in the village, "That's ......"

It was a group of villagers' little dolls, playing very lively, and it was not the group of dolls that attracted Komachi's attention, but a Lori hanging on the branch of the crooked neck tree on the side, and she looked very comfortable and lazy in the sun.

"That's who you used to be," said Eihime-sama, "or rather exactly like you once was, but now, you're standing next to me, and no avatar has appeared anywhere other than here, so that girl is clearly not Komachi." ”

"Of course not," Miss Death, who was staring tired, withdrew her gaze, "Anyway, I can't understand your cultivation more and more, are these people, eh, including this village, an illusion you deliberately created?" ”

"It's not exactly hallucinations, they've lived in my mind since the last moment."

"Like a soul who has come to the underworld?"

"It's a little similar, except that these people have come from what I've seen and heard, just like the old Komachi."

"Are they really alive?"

"I can't tell, you can try it yourself."

So Miss Komachi decided to try it herself, and she took a step and came to the side of the group of babies.

"Big sister I don't know!" A young girl was the first to notice that there was a big-breasted girl not far away, and screamed, and then the friends threw sandbags, stones, and red ropes all around.

Lori, who was basking in the sun on the crooked neck tree, didn't follow suit, and continued to concentrate on enjoying the decadent life after paying attention for a while.

The nearby villagers were working in the fields, and they didn't notice the small town that suddenly appeared in the village, so she could only tell if these people in the heart of Eihime-sama were alive by observing the young children, but she didn't plan to waste time on these young children who had known or had some impressions, so she sent the children away with the candy she had conjured and quietly climbed the crooked neck tree.

Miss Death chatted with the little girl who made her feel strange in the middle of the day, and there were no surprising words or bold words during the process, and the little girl was indeed the ordinary little girl who was a little less lively than the rest of the villagers' dolls.

Half an hour later, Komachi returned to Eihime-sama.

"How?"

"I don't feel anything," she said, knocking on her head, "if it's a hallucination, then the artificial intelligence set by Lord Yinghime is already difficult to distinguish between real and fake, if it's not a hallucination, I still don't quite understand what kind of existence they are, that little girl is indeed exactly the same as I remember myself, and what I see and say is similar to what I think." ”

"That's what I remember as a small town."

"Did I see Eihime-sama back then? Ah, when I think about it, it seems that the ignorance and unconsciously starting to cultivate is related to a person I met by chance on the side of the road.,That's Lord Yinghime.。 ”

"That's fate."

"Let's not talk about fate or anything, these people, let's just be human, does it have anything to do with Alice's situation?"

"Do you think that if you can plunge the 'Komachi' below into the natural cycle of reality and find that person, then does that person have anything to do with you?"

"I don't think I have enough brains, can Iji-sama really put the illusion you came up with in your heart into reincarnation?"

"Of course not, but I can't, and that doesn't mean anyone can."

"So...... Mistress Shenqi imagined a person in her heart, and this person was put into reality by Mistress Shenqi? ”

"If you want to simplify your understanding, you can do that."

"But that's not the relationship between the following Komachi and me, right?"

"This can be compared to the relationship between Alice and the 'daughter' of Lord Shenqi."

"Actually, I still can't understand it.,Time doesn't seem to be right.,But I finally have a way to imagine.,So it's not wrong to say that Alice and Shenqi-sama have nothing to do for the time being--my relationship with Yinghime-sama only comes from knowing and interacting.,But there's no other relationship that's more different."

"That's pretty much it, if you want to really understand, you have to at least become like Shenqi-sama."

"It's the same as Lady Shenqi...... I don't think there's much hope until the end of the solar system. ”

"Who knows?"

Shikihime turned away from looking at the village where she didn't need to "see" at all, and the underworld returned to its original state, a misty mist filling every corner, but making it easy to see every flower and tree on the ground, and the familiar plain stretched to the end of sight and consciousness.

"Wow?" Miss Komachi was surprised by the sudden restoration, "We're still in the underworld, right?" What did Eihime-sama do with the village and those people? ”

"They don't exist," Eihime-sama said in a sentence that contradicted her previous statement, "but your will and my actions make them appear, and it is in your and my perception." ”

"Hmm...... You said they weren't exactly hallucinations, right? After observing and communicating, I think so. ”

"They're still partially hallucinating to me, and after I've shown you, it's time for me to wake up from my dreams, and they're back to the unreal."

"Alas, I should have thought a long time ago that for me, the difference between me and Lady Shenqi is actually the same as the difference between me and Eihime-sama."

"So don't be lazy, go to work, the mortality rate of modern people is declining, but the increase in the population base has not reduced much of the jobs we are looking for."

"I say, when can we give up the underworld?"

"I don't know, maybe you can take the time to ask Lord Saigyoji."

"Ah...... Ha? ”
