Remaining options in chapter XIV

"Here?"

"Women's restroom on the second floor. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

"Hey ......"

"If you put on an enchantment that will hide people's eyes, no one will come here for a while, so don't expect anything unnecessary."

"Do you think I have the energy to look forward to now?" I smiled wryly.

I have to admit that I have lost the ability to fight.

Unlike the main characters in the comics, I can sense danger and avoid it, but at the end of the day I am still a human body, neither more durable than others nor faster to recover.

Relying on a person who can't fight, and a magus who has exhausted his magic power, it is estimated that he will not be able to defeat that servant no matter what.

So the remaining options are-

"Olivia, move the rescuers, according to what you said, an A-class servant that a magician can't deal with, if there are a few more partners, the situation will change."

Olivia, however, shook her head.

"I made an agreement with you to give you a month to choose from, but if you call your companions here, and don't say it's too late, the first thing they do here is not to save me, but to kill you and take the key.

You must know that the key on your body is much more important to the Magister than a threat to an A-class servant.

Of course, although the duration of my mission is one month, if they know that I met you in advance, but instead of killing you, they are shielding you, that kind of guilt is probably no different from a person facing an A-class servant. ”

"I see," I breathed a sigh of relief when I learned why. "It seems that only if you kill me here, and then call for rescue, there is a chance of survival, although I feel a little sorry for Lucy, but you better do it quickly."

"Wait—wait! Let me kill you here, why? She looked at me with a look of astonishment.

"Isn't it very clear, only in this way can you be saved, otherwise we will all die here, then at least you can be saved, and I did not die in vain."

"No, that's not the case!" Olivia shook her head vigorously.

"No matter how powerful the Servant is, the only thing that is targeted is the magician, and as a human being, as long as you turn a blind eye to the Servant, it will no longer attack you.

After all, as long as you leave me alone, you don't even have to suffer these injuries, why do you want to do such a thing for me now, I was going to kill you in the first place, and now I am on the same mission. ”

Indeed, as long as I escape, the Servant will only attack Olivia as a magician, so I can easily escape if I am alone, no, even if I don't escape, the Servant will not trouble me.

The reason why I was seriously injured was not because I was chased and killed by the Servant, but because I took the initiative to find trouble with the Servant in order to cover Olivia.

"Of course, I know all about it." I replied. "But even if I knew, saving you with all my might was my only choice."

"Stupid, aren't you afraid of death?"

Aren't you afraid of death?

I couldn't help but laugh out loud when I heard this question.

"Why are you laughing?" With tears in her eyes, she asked me excitedly.

"No, I just didn't expect to be asked such a question as well.

For the past few days, I've been unable to sleep every day for fear of being ruined by your Magus and Elementalists' disputes.

I'm a very cowardly person, and although I'm called the protagonist by a weirdo, I'm just an ordinary person, and I've never thought of sacrificing my life to be a hero.

So, you ask me if I'm afraid of death, of course I'm afraid.

To be honest, I also thought that as long as my life is not over and the time is not up, it is still possible for me to change my destiny.

That's why I'm dating you, and even though you really can't help me fight the people who want my life, at least I might be able to get some clues from you that will keep me alive.

For this reason, I am not willing to let go of even the slim hope, although it makes people laugh when I say it, I am this kind of person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. ”

"So, in order to find that hope, it's the right choice to give up here to save me and run away, right?"

"No," I shook my head slightly. "It is because I want to find hope in you that I will do my best to be sincere with you.

But even the fact that someone I decide to be sincere can dismiss him when he is in danger shows that my sincerity is only as good as that.

With this level of sincerity, even I don't believe in myself, how can I believe that after giving up on you, I can still find clues to survival from others. ”

"That's too absolute," she said, though in her defense, as if she were looking for an answer from me. "Maybe the organization will send a guy who is more easily deceived, and Zhao Jie may really find a way to survive.

Just because you want to believe in your sincerity, you are here to die for me, which is completely unconvincing. ”

"Is that really the case?"

"Huh?"

"Then on the other hand, why didn't Olivia kill me here immediately and ask my companion for help, but instead asked me why I didn't abandon you?"

When I asked her this, she didn't know how to answer for a while.

"It seems that you also remembered, half a month ago, you were a person who didn't blink an eye when you killed me for a key.

Such a person who can do anything for the task, why do you have to ask why when you want to kill me now? ”

"That's—" She gently clutched her chest. "When I thought that Zhao Jie was going to die for me, I felt like I had been dug out of a piece, and it was as if I was being pressed by something, and I thought I would never be able to forgive myself.

I still want to eat Zhao Jie's cooking, and I also want to fight the servants with Zhao Jie, why is it, I feel that I have lived for so long, but this memory with you has a warm feeling.

I seem to understand now, even if I have a mission, I really can't kill Zhao Jie. ”

"It's really incompetent to be a magister." I said half-jokingly.

"It's not all your fault, if you hope I am competent, you will just let me kill you in the first place, don't let me live in your house, and don't let me know about you."

She laughed and complained to me as if she had resigned herself to her fate.

It is true that people are not completely independent individuals from each other, and once they meet, they will produce various connections, so that countless connections constitute a human society composed of everyone.

And in this society, everyone's actions affect those who are connected with him, and once there is a connection, it cannot be easily cut.

Olivia wasn't a fierce person before, but she probably didn't have a connection with anyone when she was growing up, so she didn't understand the weight of life, so she could easily say that she wanted to kill me when she first met me.

Now, though, she's changed.

That's why I can't leave her alone.
