"Then there must be many people who have the idea of staying in the underworld forever and enjoying a peaceful life. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Many, both those who have suffered and those who have enjoyed prosperity, have such hope."

"Because we probably all have similar grievances or fears about reality, whether we are miserable, rich, or ordinary, or uncharacteristic," said the white mochi in human form, "and the expectation of eternal escape arises." ”

"Yes."

"Ah, I feel that my thinking is getting clearer and clearer, and many questions that I didn't understand and don't know how to think about when I was alive gradually have some vague answers, although these answers themselves probably can't have a clear connotation."

"Yes, I think your trip to the underworld before reincarnation always has some existential significance."

"No, I still don't think so, just like when I was alive, I never realized what I was before I died, and the next time - if there was - I won't realize what I'm thinking when I'm standing in front of Eihime-sama, and what kind of person I was when I was alive."

"From a standpoint alone, there is really no answer to whether reincarnation is meaningful or not," said Eihime-sama, "and there is no clear answer to whether reincarnation exists as we see it, but it is just some experience and laws summed up by great supernatural practitioners throughout the ages, and the underworld has not actually existed since ancient times." ”

"So what is the point of me standing here at this moment? Want to understand something that you didn't understand before you died? ”

"My original hope of transforming the underworld is exactly that, no matter what, hospice just wants you to die a little more clearly."

"Well, I may have understood, and now I have some expectations for an answer as to whether I can stay in the underworld forever."

"Komachi should have told you the answer."

"Miss Scythe said I would give up."

"Me too."

"Because I'm you now?"

"No, I'm literally, I'll give up and let you stay in the underworld forever."

“？” The humanoid questioned, "Miss Scythe told me you wouldn't care. ”

"I don't care at first, but if I make a moment last forever, even the slightest discomfort will make me have to notice, and I will give up when I have to keep it the same for this meaningless eternity."

"I don't understand."

"It's very simple, you think it took a long time to arrive at the Hall of Right and Wrong from the Santu River, and you talked to me for a long time, but this is an illusion given by the heart, and in fact, the time of reality has not been crossed."

"I see, my coming to see you was a momentary hallucination?"

"It's real, it's not an illusion, it's just that no matter how long you think it's gone, reality only needs a moment, and that's the real need for psychic contact."

"I see, so no matter how long I want to live alone in the underworld, time has not changed, and what I think of as peace is false relative to time."

"Whether it is false or not depends on your realization, there is no definite answer, but Komachi tells you that you will voluntarily give up this eternal moment, which is bound to happen, and no matter how strong your belief is that you think you will stay in the underworld at this moment, anyone will always expect change."

"I understand, even if you are willing to turn the moment of death into eternity for me, I will always give up before you, so it doesn't matter if Eihime-sama gives up or not."

"That's right."

"Are you always willing to turn an instant into eternity for the sake of the deceased who came to the underworld?"

"As long as it has the will."

"So...... Has Eihime-sama experienced countless moments that have become immutable and eternal? ”

"The subjective sense of time may be hundreds of millions of years."

"But it doesn't seem to you to have any real effect."

"My eternity is not the same thing as mere mortal eternity."

Eventually, the human form decided to give up staying in the underworld, "I'm curious and interested in people like Eihime-sama and Miss Scythe, can I be like you?" ”

"Maybe, maybe not, depending on the way of life and a little illusory luck, maybe you can make a firm wish to set the reincarnated 'you' on the path of eternal pursuit."

"I don't think such a wish would be meaningful, I still remember my ignorance of the so-called samsara when I was alive."

"Reincarnation is a general term, it not only refers to the cycle of life and death as understood by mortals, but also the will, spirit, social conditions, and personal interactions with others are all more or less constantly reproduced in the cycle of reincarnation, and no one needs or can seek understanding from the cycle of life and death alone."

"I hope so," the human form was not moved by Eihime-sama's words, "please send me out of the underworld." ”

The humanoid disappears.

At the same time, hundreds of white mochi, vaguely humanoid, or clearly recognizable human bodies vanished from the banks of the Santu River, from the Great Hall of Judgment, and from the vast realm of the mind that stretched out from the underworld.

Miss Komachi, the big-breasted god of death, appeared at the bottom of the stairs, "Hey, I'm finding that there are fewer and fewer people who want to stay in the underworld and enjoy a quiet lifestyle. ”

"The proportion has decreased, but the total number has not decreased much compared to the past."

"Anyway, there is a fall, which means one thing," the double ponytail Grim Reaper shook off his scythe and jumped to the top of the stairs to sit in a row with his boss, "The underworld you have transformed still has some meaning. ”

"Are you begging for a beating, Komachi, denying the actions of your boss in person, but it's a mistake that eighteen-year-old high school graduates who have just entered the workplace are not easy to make."

"I'm not a high school student, and I didn't have a chance to be eighteen," Miss Komachi interrupted with a grin, "Besides, it's not that I completely deny Eihime-sama, it's just that I don't understand some of them, so I think you're doing something meaningless." ”

"Being in it makes sense can only be seen later."

"How long will it be until another mass extinction of the biosphere?"

"Perhaps," said the judge, "how about the fact that you were asked not long ago to take care of Miss Alice, who has been in exile for a while?" ”

"It's been almost a month, Lord Eeihime, you've been too busy to care about foreign affairs during this time," Miss Death fell back and put her hands on the back of her head, "It's okay, she looks very motivated, I learned from Yakumo that she's been involved in some very interesting things lately, and it doesn't matter to us." ”

Naturally, there was a lot of mental gossip from Yakumo Purple in the words.

"Expressing laziness in front of your boss is also a mistake that eighteen-year-old high school graduates who have just entered the workplace are not easy to make, Komachi," Eihime-sama accused, and then acquiesced to her subordinates' habitual disregard for her boss and continued to get to business, "Alice seems to be becoming more and more special, of course, in essence, everyone has something special, but from the perspective of seeking natural reincarnation, Miss Alice's specialness is particularly prominent. ”

"I'm a layman who is too lazy to work hard to cultivate in order to be lazy, you already know, so do you think Alice and Lord Shenqi have anything to do with each other?" Komachi couldn't resist his curiosity and raised his long-buried doubts.

"Of course it matters, isn't it obvious, otherwise why would you let me meddle in her experience in the name of Shenqi."

"That's not what I mean."

"I know," Eihime-sama continued, "you want to ask what the relationship between the daughter of Lady Shenqi and Alice is. ”

"That's right."
