Seeing the curious appearance of the wind, Kurasaki Kaedeko's sky-colored illusion exuded a bright smile, and quietly replied, "When I learned that seven years since the birth of the Acceleration World, there was a sudden appearance of virtual characters who can 'walk in the void' and 'free flight', I was really surprised, and at the same time became interested. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"As my name suggests, I've always longed for the sky, so I'm very curious about what kind of soul and what kind of heart hurt can derive the power that can cut off the huge gravity of this world."

Hearing this, Hurricane suddenly understood in his heart, and finally understood why Kurasaki Kaede would enlighten him so calmly after seeing Haruyuki Arita who was on the verge of despair because of the loss of his ability to fly, and also taught him mental skills, and even lent him his own enhanced outfit [Hurricane Thruster].

Now it seems that this is not only because of Kuroyukihime's face, but also because of Kurasaki Kaedeko's own paranoia.

"Watching the sky?" Hurricane raised his head and looked at the sky, then suddenly smiled: "After you said this, I suddenly became interested in the outer space of this world, do you want to accompany me to see it?" ”

"Huh?" Kaede Kurazaki, who was originally elegant and calm, was stunned when she heard the invitation of the wind, although her tone sounded a little hesitant, but it was more of an invisible desire: "Is it okay?" ”

"Of course, absolutely, after all, the illusion doesn't need to breathe." As he spoke, the wind put away the magic spear and walked straight forward, not caring whether the other party agreed or not, so he picked the other party up from the wheelchair and hugged him in the standard princess hug position.

"You're really ......" Kurasaki Kaedeko murmured a little shyly, but she didn't resist too much, but raised her hand to hold her hat so as not to be blown away by the airflow.

"So, just fly like that~!" The wind laughed, slowly bent down to gather momentum, and then suddenly rose from the ground, like a superman, and took the girl in his arms and flew away to the sky......

……

"Do you think that the real world we live in is just a fictional world like this accelerated world?"

When the wind returned to the ground with Kurasaki Kaedeko, the girl was still depressed and asked such a question in a daze.

Although it is not unexpected, when the wind and the girl really fly out of the atmosphere, what comes into view is such a strange scene.

Just like the scene shown in the movie "Hacker from Another Dimension", looking down on the surface of the earth from above, except for Area 11, everything is chaos.

And the so-called space is also a void.

Yes, chaos and nothingness, nothing but boundless emptiness and darkness.

This game, which seems to be ahead of its time, is only a virtual reality game after all, and a simple data program is destined to fail to build a perfect world.

When Tempest and Kaede Kurasaki fly out of the sky, reaching beyond the player's inaccessible edges, it is all laid bare before their eyes.

This also means that the blue sky and white clouds that players see in the game, and the sun and starry sky they see are all the experiences that are fed back to people through the thinking nerves and five senses cognition in this virtual reality game.

It also shows that everything that is seen, heard, smelled, and perceived through the senses, no matter how real it is, is nothing but illusory.

This is undoubtedly a huge blow to people like Kaede Kurasaki, who have always longed for the sky and eager to fly.

And in the face of Kurasaki Kaedeko's question, Hurricane didn't know how to answer for a while.

Because from the perspective of the trialist, not to mention the game world, not even the real world outside the game, and even all the two-dimensional worlds, whether or not they are real or not, cannot give an accurate answer.

If it goes deeper, in terms of the real world in which he originally existed, must it be real?

"I'm sorry for not being able to answer this question, but it's like the conclusion of the French philosopher Descartes when he was thinking about the world and the existence of man himself on a cold winter day in the seventeenth century—"

"I think, therefore I am."

“I・think・therefore・I・am。”

Hurricane and Kurasaki Kaede said together.

"Oh, that's right, only thinking itself is certain, from which we can be sure of our own existence."

Kurasaki Kaede suddenly laughed, swept away the previous confusion, and her voice was unprecedentedly refreshing, as if she had untied the knot that she had been unable to get out of for a long time.

Seeing the girl's abnormality, the wind faintly sensed that the girl no longer seemed to be so paranoid about the height of the sky.

"Hey, Mr. Lancer, how long are you going to hold it?"

At this time, the girl in her arms suddenly tilted her head, looked up at the thoughtful Wind and smiled.

In the face of this embarrassing situation, if you are an ordinary boy, nine times out of ten you will apologize for being at a loss, and as a senior gentleman, you will naturally not be so misguided.

Instead of putting down the girl for the first time, he fought back frivolously: "Ah~! If you don't say it, I'll probably keep hugging me! ”

"Poof~! Then don't blame me for telling Kuroyukihime that you're molesting me? Kurasaki Kaede's dark side was unreservedly shown at this moment: "Don't look at her usual steady and generous, but the more she cares about the problem, the easier it is to become a reckless mother, once she is impulsive, it is not so easy to calm down." ”

After finishing speaking, she stared at the wheelchair not far away and slowly turned towards her.

When the wheelchair approached, the wind put her on and said with a smile, "It sounds like you're very familiar with Black Snow." ”

"We used to be close friends, and I was also the deputy head of the 'Dark Nebula', the highest cadre of the Legion, the 'Four Elements'." Kurasaki Kaedeko said with some distraction: "As I said earlier, I have always been addicted to a desire to fly higher and farther, and from the beginning I have strengthened all my points on my jumping ability. ”

"However, when I reached level 8 and poured the last points into it, it suddenly became clear that 'jumping' could not evolve to the point of 'flying' after all. As a result, desire became a demonic obstacle, attachment became paranoia, and after knowing that I was destined to not be able to fly, I became discouraged and chose to retire. Later, when I learned of what had happened, the Legion was disbanded, and I lost contact with her. ”

Speaking of this, Kurasaki Kaedeko retracted her thoughts, raised her head to look at the wind, and chuckled, "However, after learning that she has made a comeback and rebuilt the 'Dark Nebula' again, I am finally relieved and very happy.

"Thank you for supporting her so much when she was at her lowest, after all, I know that in her bones, she has always had a secondary two and willful side, and it is not so easy to get along with."

"Haha~!" Hurricane couldn't help laughing out loud, nodded in approval, "Well, you're right, she's really quite a middle school sometimes." ”

"Right." Seeing that the wind recognized her point of view, Kurasaki Kaedeko suddenly became happy......
