Reika Konoe limped but left the Daigo Dojo as if she had achieved her goal, and when she turned and disappeared outside the gate, I said to Masako, "I'll come when I go." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"You're going to take her home yourself?"

"You can see it, I need to keep an eye out for anyone on her way home."

"Okay, okay, I'll wait for you to come back."

"Well, it's okay, don't go to sleep so quickly, I'm going to study your cultivation progress carefully, and finally have a successful test subject, ah don't observe the subject."

“……”

At the gate of the dojo, before stepping out of the door frame, there was a trotting footstep behind him, followed by the voice of an apricot: "That, that ......"

"Huh...... What, what's wrong? "Because I don't know each other, I don't know how to greet this normal elementary school Lori that makes people cry.

"I—I think Alice-sama is a trustworthy person, you—you can protect your sister, right?"

"Protection—yes, but you're expecting it wrong, I've never been completely sure to protect anyone, including myself."

"Although, although you say so, but Xiao Hei, ah no, Ah Yi also said that you are a very powerful person, I believe you!"

"By the way, how did you tame Xiao Hei, Uh, and Ah Yi home? Although it does not have a clear purpose in the outside world, it does not necessarily need to regard the human home as one of the bases of activity. ”

"No, it's not tame, at first I just thought the kitten with two tails was cute...... Ah, it's a lot of feeding anyway, right? ”

"It's pretty easy to get a cat...... Go back, don't worry about your sister, she knows how to face trouble, not to mention me, whether I can solve the trouble or not, Apricot can't help, let's sleep and go to school as usual. ”

"Actually, I've heard a lot from Ah Yi, and my sister has told me a lot," Kyoko said, "I can't help any of the monster organizations that capture Ah Yi and the underworld forces that threaten my sister, I, I won't make a mess, but I'm still worried about ......."

What an obedient and sensible little girl, once again in her heart compared the apricots to a large stack of gods in Gensokyo who often took the wrong line, and couldn't help but feel that the hunting range of Huiyin's temple house was too small, "If you feel uneasy and want to know about the progress, go ask Masako, she should learn to mature, and she should learn to take care of her sister without letting you fall into a panic that you don't know." ”

Sending the little girl back to my sister, I dodged and chased in the direction of Reika Konoe.

She was not far away—she was half-crippled, and she looked back from time to time, as if she were not sure and wanted me to catch up, so when she saw me appear, she said, "I knew you had to catch up." ”

"I'll take back some of the ideas I thought you were stupid."

“……”

Grabbed her by the back collar and flew up to the nearby tall building in one go, seeing that she had endured the fear of the sky and never screamed in panic, I felt more and more that the eldest lady of the Konoe family had changed a lot compared to a few days ago, "I know you still have a lot to say, now that we have left the dojo, there is no one else around, you can talk." ”

"Indeed, there are many things to say," she gasped for a moment as she knelt on the roof, "it turns out that Miss Alice can really fly, and the report of Ah Da Ah Er that night is still unbelievable." ”

"If you have something to say, hurry up, I plan to fly you back, it won't take long." Actually, my intention was to half-fly and half-jump between tall buildings, and keeping it floating made me realize that while magic makes the general way of flying very low-lasting, the mana recovery speed is enough to maintain a half-fly and half-jump for a long time.

"Well, I want to get your power."

"Don't you think you're too honest, Miss Konoe, aren't you worried about being thrown down by me?"

"You don't have to wait until today to throw it," she calmed down for a moment as if she had overcome her fear of the sudden change in height, "It's not hard to see what I think, right, the monk you saw last time was just a shock to me." ”

"I know that your attempt to seek strength from those powerful-sounding scriptures is in vain, it is a misguided path, and no one has gained strength since the birth of life because of the pursuit of power," I couldn't help but feel even more eager to teach, "and it is not strength that is needed for the survival of life, otherwise you and I would not exist today or exist on this planet in our present form, and the people standing here looking into the distance may be tigers, or lions, or other strange creatures." ”

"I suppose Miss Alice is making a mockery of me?"

It can be understood in this way, but the fault of your cognition is not you, it is the environment, and the social environment makes you mistakenly believe that power is the only pursuit of life. But the pursuit of power is not the same as sublimating the self, and the only meaning of power is only to cause ...... Destruction, those who seek power, can only accelerate the destruction of power, whether it is for individual life or for the whole social cluster, and in the long run, it is a bad thing. ”

"Listen to you say that, you can give up all means of killing? That wonderful, thread-like thing? Should people give up weapons? Should the state abandon all defense forces? ”

"Whether you are pursuing individual sublimation or cluster sublimation, this is true."

"It's impossible, give up the powerful means of killing, you should have been shot into honeycomb coal by the thugs of the Konoe family a long time ago."

"You're right, so that seems impossible...... There are some questions that I haven't figured out for the time being, so I won't talk to you more. If you can experience another emotion and not devote yourself to a particular spiritual experience with a power-seeking mindset, I can give you the means to find the meaning of life as appropriate. ”

"Haha, you still remember my words, the reason why I made up my mind to come to you is to seek other meaning, I saw that you can actually give power to others, even if it is that good for nothing high school student, so I also had an idea."

"You confuse the pursuit of meaning in life with the pursuit of power."

"I don't care about the complicated issues, did you grant my request?"

"No, I only promised that I would consider it, and I won't tell you how to achieve the basic conditions, please seek it yourself."

"Destroying the Konoe family doesn't count?"

"Maybe it doesn't count, maybe it doesn't count, it just depends on whether you can experience something from it, what can you really experience? Again, I won't tell you. ”

"But you obviously told Daigo Masako, it seems that chasing down Nakamura Miao has made me lose too many points and can't get your approval."

"It's a little bit off, but it's pretty much the same."

"I really don't know whether to like or reject your mysterious style of speaking."

"If you're lucky, one day you'll know that there is no mystery in my words."

Eventually, I thought I would have been more successful in planting a seed in her heart, and perhaps she would have the ability to invade the realm of cultivators on her own, not for the so-called powers, nor for the desires that are familiar to the world? When the time comes, I really don't mind canceling her punishment and even passing on Kanako's practice to her.

The premise is that she must live to gain my approval, and not be swallowed up by the wider world she thinks she has found.

As for the Konoe family...... In a trance, the thought of whether or not to destroy his revenge was no longer very important.
