Chapter Eighty-Three: The Remnant Fire
"You know, boy, you look a little like me used to be—put your arms up."
As he spoke, Lynn watched as a self-operated tape measure measured Yanagito Kazunari's body, a method he had learned from a magician in Diagon Alley, which could test a person's magic qualities in a superficial but quick way.
"What?!"
Yanagito Kazunari couldn't help but look back.
"Don't look over your head - I mean, you're a little like me, just like you are because you lost your dear family to an enemy, and then you're driven by hatred to get revenge at all costs."
"Are you trying to stop me?"
"No, no, no, you're thinking too much, I'm just giving examples. I don't want to go too far into what happened back then, because ...... That's a scar on my heart. ”
"I've never seen a guy who can throw out his scars at will for others to hear, what the hell do you want to say?!"
Yanagito Kazunari narrowed his eyes and let the tape measure measure fly towards Lynn behind him, so he hurriedly turned around and looked at Lynn with an unkind face.
"I guess what I paid should be enough."
"Of course it's enough, this is the floor tiles of Liudong Temple, you misunderstood again, what I want to say is ......"
Lynn shrugged her shoulders and said.
"Do you know how much difference the strength between me and that enemy was, and how long it took me to plot revenge?"
“……”
Yanagito understood what Lynn meant.
I am an ordinary person, an ordinary high school student. Even if he decided to inherit the family business when he became an adult, no matter how brilliant Liudong Temple was in the magic world, he was just an ordinary person.
And that guy has the incredible power of a monster, or a spell.
Even with Lynn's help, how long will it take for me to catch up with that guy?
One month? A year? Decade? Or is it ......
Even if he can resist this hatred and decide to take revenge no matter what in this life, but is that monster waiting for him? Will he wait until he has the strength to fight him, and suddenly disappear?
Everything is unknown, everything is possible, but this possibility, instead of giving him a hint of comfort, provokes his fear.
So, he looked up and looked Lynn in the eye earnestly.
"Help me."
"Yes, but as much time as you want."
"The sooner the better, with or without sequelae."
"That's good......"
As he spoke, Lynn took out a sealed test tube from the box, which contained something like a golden flame, and he glanced at Balugo and Beowulf before slowly putting it in Yanato Yisei's hand.
"Well, after the inspection just now, it's a pity that your magic talent is not strong...... If you convert the noun of this country, it means that you have a certain amount of spiritual power, but that is just the remnants of the accumulation of generations of the family, you can use magic, but without the support of the magic workshop, your magic can't even strengthen an apple; You can practice martial arts, and I happen to have a copy of "The Palm of the Gods" here, but even if you have a high level of comprehension to comprehend it once, it will take years of training...... It's a pity that you can't do that with your current physical fitness. DPM items can be exchanged for a few items with you, and I have one that can actually kill him, but you need to touch and fight him. ”
"So?"
Yanagito Kazunari took the test tube with a puzzled expression.
"What is this?"
"A little flame from a pretty good music box isn't big, but it can elicit all the potential, the possibilities - and the meaning of existence in your life."
Lynn still hasn't figured out the essence of DPM-011's Dyeed Garden. The kind of power that can burn existence, block time and space, and make people addicted, can only be said to be worthy of being an otherworldly thing? Luckily, there is no need to understand this part of the otherworldly knowledge, and if you force it to think about it, it may short-circuit the brain, but with a little application, it can still be done.
If Yanagito Kazunari had used this small flame, he would have been drawn out of all his power in a very short period of time...... Even if his qualifications are not strong. If that time comes, he will get the possibility of killing the Assassin.
Reality is not an animation.,The protagonist's aura won't exist.,A male high school student who gets the power of a heroic spirit in just a few days.,It will only appear in the galgame with the day as the basic unit and the Japanese light novel that sells pure meat.。 What you gain, you will lose, and if you want to gain the power of the Heroic Spirit, you should sacrifice what is of equal value.
"Your existence will burn out."
Without hiding anything, Lynn explained to him the role of the little flame.
"In five minutes, no matter what mysteries you have cultivated from the magic books I gave you, or what kind of martial arts you have cultivated, or what level of skill you have reached in manipulating otherworldly things, you will be raised to the level of killing that guy."
Yanagito Issei's eyes lit up, as if to dispel the darkness, he clenched the test tube, and then carefully released it, for fear of crushing the test tube.
"But ......"
"Just like the literal meaning, your existence will be burned out, just like you never existed in this world, other people's knowledge, memories, records, and information about you will not exist, and what you have done will be distorted into another appearance, and you will completely disappear into this world, and there will be no such thing as Yanagito Issei in the past and in the future - if so, are you still willing?"
"Everybody will forget about me...... Really? ”
"That's right."
"Otherwise, they won't be harmed, will they?"
"Yes." After a pause, Lynn couldn't help but speak again.
"If you don't want to, I can terminate this transaction, I don't think you know, I and that guy are enemies too. You can go back to your daily routine and go from now on. With her palms clasped together, Lynn smiled.
"It's like nothing happened."
If he could, Lynn didn't want to trade with Yanagito Kaisei anymore.
Although the floor tiles or something are very beautiful, but to pull an ordinary person into the magic world, Lynn's only remaining conscience still can't do it. That's why he's so red. Bare. Naked, he told Yanagito Issei about the possibility of the future, and the price to pay to realize that possibility, in order to make him retreat.
"That's right."
Hearing such an answer, Yanagito Issei did not waver,
"If you don't have an impact on others, five minutes?"
"Hey, you don't really want to kill that guy!"
"Of course."
"Five minutes to make the world forget to do my funeral is really a luxury not suitable for monks."
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
"Actually, Master, you shouldn't have taken out that flame."
After handing him the promised magic books and some DPM items that Yanagito Issei could use, the three of them left Yanagito Temple.
"If it weren't for that flame, maybe that boy would have dreamed of killing the Assassin until he actually faced him."
Beowulf said.
"You're wrong saber, didn't I say it, I had a similar experience with Yanato Kazunari."
Walking on the streets of Winterwood City, Lynn looked at the busy commercial street and said.
It was a look that would not stop if it did not achieve its goal, and it was the gaze that swore that he would definitely kill the assassin, and no matter whether Lynn would mention the location of the assassin to him in the future, he would definitely find him and fight him.
Human Shinna is sometimes very powerful, and sometimes, it gives people the illusion that I can fight back, and if I don't give him the power to really kill the assassin, Yanato Issei will eventually die on the road to revenge.
Unless the Assassin was killed before Yanagito Issei found him, he would find him no matter how many times he did.
"So why not give him the power to fight the Assassin, but at a lower cost? Master, I'm sure you have a way. ”
Baluge also showed a sighing expression, she had a good impression of Yanagito Issei, and she didn't want that young man to die in battle like this, and even his existence was erased.
"Do you think, Yanagito Kazunari...... Will it run away? ”
Lynn asked rhetorically, and Baluge slowly lowered her head and said no more.
I spent a lot of time in the hospital for Emiya Shirou's treatment, and then I ran to the side of Yanagito Temple, and it took a lot of time, and now the sun is already in the west, and the dusk sun shines on the streets of Fuyuki City, which has a unique flavor.
"Speaking of which, I haven't been there since I came to Fuyuki City!"
Lynn said as if it suddenly dawned on him.
"Master, you dare to say that at least you went to Illya's elementary school to play around, but I've been helping you run errands." "Hey, what's my mood! I've been in the belly of the tentacle monster most of the time since I came to Fuyuki City! "Half body, I've been sleeping all these days!"
Everyone also complained.
Although I'm here for official business this time, I don't have any fun here.,Basically, I'm busy all day long.,It's either fighting powerful enemies.,Or fighting monsters in a mess.,Occasional rest.,It's also spent in recuperation and probing information.。
As a result, until now, Lynn and his party have never even been to the seaside of Fuyuki City!
"Yo Xi! It's decided! ”
Looking at the maids, servants, and clothes around him, Lynn clapped his palms and said.
"Let's go to the beach for a banquet today!"
"It's not summer now! Why are you holding a banquet! ”
"Then go to the mountains!"
"I think I have some experience in picnicking on the mountain, but it's not suitable for a banquet right now, right?"
"Then go to the forest!"
"If I'm not mistaken, half-body, didn't the forest be destroyed by beasts outside of people."
While they were arguing about where to go, an email arrived on Lynn's new phone, and before he could open it, the second and third emails rang out one after another.
The previous phone broke when it became Luo Tai, so I replaced it with a new one, but there shouldn't be many people who know this new phone number. With such doubts in mind, he turned on his phone.
"Well, I don't think we need to argue."
Lynn looked up and said.
"Illya's mother has a treat and invites us over for dinner."
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
PS: Lazy cancer is hopeless (covering my face) I was going to break off the shift for two or three days to solve the start of school, but it turned out to be cut off for more than ten days...... Cover your face
PS2: Thank you all for your suggestions...... Well, forget about some spoofs, here I will only reply to the suggestion of replacement magic: although according to the theory of parallel worlds, the phase of a pair of replacement magic is super high, but there is one point, the reason why Julian can use such a powerful replacement magic is because his magic workshop is there, and the magician can almost do anything after the bonus of the magic workshop, which is the common sense of magicians. Stripped of this, displacement magic is just like general magic, just like projection magic...... And according to Moyi's existing manga, the pinnacle of replacement magic is to replace the power of the Heroic Spirit through something like a holy relic (suspected), which is a waste of money more than gem magic...... Look at the magicians on the Twin Towers who fought to death for a blood-stained Bodhi leaf, and the second almost killed the orange...... How did Issei get the holy relics for hand training? There's no way to carry the magic workshop to find the Assassin...... Unfortunately, while displacement magic is good, it's not suitable for revenge.
