Berlin, Germany. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

This time, I went to the "Colorful Feathers" store to return the treasure to Ms. Leila.

Ms. Leila is a time-traveler veteran who rose to fame during World War II. It was through her advocacy and liaison that the travelers, who had rarely interacted with each other, formed this loose alliance. Although the growth of the alliance is the credit of Saori's predecessors, as the founder of the alliance, Ms. Leila has always been respected by everyone.

How strong is she? No one on the forums knows. But whenever everyone is in trouble and needs weapons, they can borrow those treasures with magical powers from her. It's just that she has a request: when she borrows a treasure, just make a phone call; But when it came time to return the treasure, he had to come to Berlin, Germany, and hand it back.

"You may not be available when you borrow something, but aren't you free when you return it?"

There is a lot of truth in that, and I agree with it.

Also, it's nice to have the opportunity to travel abroad – even if I don't speak German.

The god who created this world obviously favored the Germanic people, any taxi driver is tall and handsome, he can go out to be a model, looking out from the car, almost all the roads are handsome men and beautiful women, to have a look, to have a figure, to have a temperament, it is really very eye-catching.

If those nymphomaniacs come here, they will probably get dehydrated just by drooling...... I muttered maliciously.

Because it is in Chinese, I believe that the silent driver brother can't understand it.

After the crossing, my ability to learn language and writing disappeared, and I was able to learn Japanese improvised, relying on more than ten years of experience; He speaks Chinese fluently, which is the accumulation before crossing and the communication with the crossing people; As for the English -

I'm sorry for you when the professor who gave us junior students a small stove and helped us pass English Level 4!

I had forgotten English to the point where I only had a few words like "OK", so I had a very strange way of communicating with the driver, and there was no interaction at all.

Specifically, I gave him a photo of the house with the address on it, and then he gave him a credit card, and then he sent me to my destination, swiped the card, and returned the card to me.

It's that simple.

However, after getting on the bus from the airport, I sat for more than an hour and didn't get to Ms. Leila's house, and Berlin is too big!

Wouldn't this seemingly serious brother take me around Berlin like the taxi drivers who dominated outsiders in my previous life?

Just when I was worried about whether the credit card, which had only the necessary amount of money as suggested by my predecessors, would be overdrawn, the taxi slowly stopped in front of a small bungalow.

Like many of the houses you see on the road, there are no fences, just a ring of firs - this is the first time I've seen firs planted at home, and I've only seen them at Christmas festivals before. Slowly approaching the house, I was surprised to find that these firs had many letters engraved on them.

I've never seen this letter, and I don't remember it at all.

Is it Hindi? Or something else? Just as I was speculating at the letters, the ivy-climbing door opened, and a girl with purple hair and a shawl and a red bow on her right sideburns came out, bowed into the room, and then walked slowly.

"Good afternoon, are you looking at these lists?"

Oh? These letters on the tree, is the list?

Seeing my puzzled expression, the girl also seemed a little puzzled: "Didn't you come to see these lists?" ”

Of course not! I'm here to see these incomprehensible lists!

Wait a minute! What is she saying - Chinese?!

"You're ...... too"

"Of course," the girl looked puzzled again, "There is an enchantment around the 'Colorful Feathers' main store, and everyone except the traverser will leave subconsciously. She said, gesturing to the departing taxi, "Just like that, you'll soon lose your memories of being here." ”

"I haven't introduced myself for a long time, my name is Sakura Makiri, and I run some real estate." She bowed politely and took out a business card and handed it to me.

That small piece of paper is printed on: Higashiki Town, Kirimo Real Estate, President Sakura.

Society...... President?!

Although I have never heard of Higashikicho and Makiri's real estate, in Japan, all the companies that can operate real estate are consortium-level companies, and this delicate and weak girl turned out to be the head of a consortium!

"That...... Excuse me...... Do you have a bad impression of me? Seeing my shocked appearance, the girl's face suddenly turned red, "Although I have crossed over to this character, I really don't have ...... It's true! ”

"Abominable crossing...... It's okay to dress modestly...... It's okay to wear a villain...... Why do you want to wear such a character...... All are ...... I really don't have sexual immorality! ”

Then, she was a little incoherent.

Na, the conscience of heaven and earth, I was just shocked by her social status, I never felt that she was a promiscuous woman, even if the dark erosion of the Japanese business world is indeed an open secret, but as a traverser, it is impossible for her to force her to do such and such things no matter whether it is black or white - stop, stop, it is rude to think about it again!

But when I said this, she looked at me with the eyes of a monster.

Feed! Is "thinking you're lewd" the norm that a traverser should have?

It wasn't until President Makiri, who seemed to have a problem with his head, left, that I remembered the true purpose of the trip.

Tidying up, patting my cheeks, and trying to look more sincere, I walked to the door of the bungalow and rang the doorbell.

"Is Miss Leila here? My name is Kazuya Uesugi, and I'm here to return the treasure, and to make amends. ”

Yes, reparation is the main task of my trip.

Ms. Leila lent me two treasures, a black leather glove called "Seventh Heaven" and a revolver called "One in a Thousand Fines".

But now, I can only return the previous one, that beautiful pistol, which has disappeared with Yuuji, and I can't find even a fragment of it.

When Yuuji died, he carried three treasures with him: the nameless treasure that was originally contained in his body, the treasure pistol, and the spiritual power pistol, but when he burned out because he borrowed the power of the stars, these three treasures were also annihilated.

Nameless treasures, I've never cared about; Although the spiritual power pistol was precious, the master didn't care at all, but made a phone call casually and asked the king of Hades for another one; Only the damage to this treasure made me feel very guilty.

Ms. Leila's treasures were all made by herself, and each one cost her a lot of effort, and she jokingly called it "my children", but I lost one of them and broke one of them at once.

The Noble Phantasm "Seventh Heaven" was overused and broken during the night's fierce battle, and now it looks like a pair of worn-out leather gloves.

I can imagine how upset Ms. Leila must have been when she got the news......

"Did they come in handy? That's good. Lady Leila, dressed in a nun's costume, blocked all the apologies I had been preparing for a long time in one sentence, "Since I can help you, it's okay to damage it." ”

"But...... They are all ...... you spend a lot of time on."

"For me, time is worthless." The woman who looked to be only twenty-five or sixteen years old lowered her head with a lonely expression on her face, "It doesn't make a difference to me whether it's a month or a year." ”

"I don't age, I don't die, so I have plenty of time to make anything."

"Compared to those indifferent foreign objects, I think you have a lot of problems with yourself." Those calm eyes seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts, and I was a little uneasy, "Your soul is stirring, have you encountered anything that excites you recently?" ”

Of course!

"If you don't mind, tell me about it." Ms. Leila clapped her hands gently and asked a robot maid to bring us hot tea and snacks, "I don't like British people, but I like afternoon tea, and hot tea with dessert will make you feel better." ”

Gently picked up the teacup, took a sip of the fragrant milk tea, and sure enough, I felt a lot more relaxed, so I began to talk about the experience of this time. Torches, Disciples, Fire Mist Warriors, Aliens, Lost Friends......

When I awoke from my memories, the old-fashioned grandfather clock was exactly four o'clock, the afternoon sun was shining through the window, drawing deep shadows on the floor, and Ms. Leila was lost in thought.

Because it was inconvenient to disturb her, I turned to the room that I had never had time to look at, and the equipment in the room seemed to be very old, and there was nothing modern in sight, which felt a bit like a pre-World War II scene that only appeared in movies. The only thing worth noting is a pair of armor in the corner, the tall armor seems to have been many years old, but it is well maintained, the bright surface seems to be able to reflect the human face, and the helmet is tied with a white streamer, in general, it is not as gorgeous as the Japanese armor, and the atmosphere reveals heaviness and simplicity. The same is true of the service of Lady Leila and the mechanical maids, traditional and austere. It's just that I always feel that this room is a little familiar, as if I have seen it somewhere......

"This room looks old, doesn't it? Because there is only one old woman living here, who is immersed in memories. Ms. Leila's voice came out of nowhere, startling me.

Ignoring my embarrassed expression, she pulled out a gem that was as red as blood.

"How about walking a few steps with the old woman?"

"It's an honor!" I replied respectfully - they were here to guide me, and of course I should thank them.

The ruby glowed strangely, and then we came to a cypress forest, and it seemed to be evening, and the golden sunset fell to the ground through the sparse woods, quiet and distant.

Ms. Leila didn't speak, and I didn't know what to say, we just walked slowly along the stone path in the woods. After walking for a while, the sun was reflected in a small pond, and there were no trees on the edge of the pond, but two tombstones.

"Here are my only relatives in this world," Lady Leila walked to the tombstones, gently stroking them, "on the left is my husband, Alphonse Elric; On the right is his older brother, Edward Elric. ”

"This forest is not on earth, it is the reward I asked for from the Destiny Host, and I call it 'The Independence of the World'."

The name sounds like a long time, but I don't know what it means.

"You told your story just now, now listen to my story."

"The world I traveled through was a dangerous place full of war, where people killed each other with guns, swords, and abilities called 'alchemy'. As for me, I am a technician who uses 'alchemy'. ”

"Like everyone else, I was in a small supporting role. I'm familiar with the plot, and this character named 'Leila' is supposed to be killed soon, so I've been hiding in unknown corners, carefully avoiding the plot. ”

"It's a little bit of a shrunken turtle, right? I was like, 'A turtle is a turtle!'" At least the turtle lives long! So no matter what kind of things I see, whether I have the ability to intervene or not, I always warn myself not to do anything, and to be a good passerby, only then can I live longer." ”

"I think your mindset is a bit similar to what I was back then."

No! I didn't mean to be a turtle with a shrunken head!

Lady Leila didn't give me a chance to refute, and said to herself: "My change happened when Alphonse and Edward opened the 'door' to this world, and at that time I was completely tired of that dangerous world, and felt that no matter what, it would not be worse than there, so I took some small things I had saved over the years, took the opportunity to pass through the 'door', came to this world, and settled in Germany. ”

"This stay is ten years."

"Brother Elric and I are travelers from the same world, and we are both alchemists, so we are relatively close to each other. Over time, feelings slowly developed - in fact, it was just my one-sided feelings, and I fell in love with Alphonse, who was almost ten years younger than me. ”

Looking at my stunned appearance, she laughed silently: "The so-called 'love' is something that makes no sense in the first place, and love is love." And that was the second time in my life that I pursued him for about a year, and finally dragged him into the church without any problems, and added a surname to myself as an orphan, and from that day on, my name was changed to Leila Elric. ”

You're strong......

"I'm a good driver, I can drive from trains to boats; Al became a pharmacist, using his own skills to make life-saving medicines; Edward, on the other hand, devoted himself to the study of the occult and became a psychiatrist. Although life in Germany was not easy after the First World War, our life was still okay, and we thought that the days would pass like this, but unexpectedly, an accident happened. ”

"Actually, that's inevitable, it's just that I've been subconsciously not thinking about it."

"World War II, broke out."

"Behind the Nazis' constant attacks on various countries and plundering resources for the next offensive, the mood of the masses was high, cheering for the establishment of the Third Reich, but behind all this, there was a very bloody and terrible scene." Ms. Leila's voice became muffled, "The plundering and massacre of the Jews. ”

I do know that the Nazi genocide of the Jews is a very famous historical event in both past and present lives, and there are not many related film and television works alone, and the most impressive is a movie in the world that almost won all the Oscars that year, "Alphonse's pocket watch and Schindler's list".

Wait a minute! Alphonse?!

That's right, one of the two protagonists of that movie is called "Alphonse Elric"!

Thanks to the extreme left-wing headmaster in middle school, I watched that movie many times - in order to write a related thesis, and I still vaguely remember its plot:

Alphons, the pharmacist, insisted that "one must live with dignity, or else he would rather die with dignity", so he always kept poison in his pocket watch; His friend, the entrepreneur Schindler, felt that he should live no matter what, and that life was hope, and the two friends often argued about it.

Schindler happened to see the scene of the Nazi massacre of Jews and was deeply shocked, he hoped to save some people with his own strength, so he set up factories and recruited many Jewish workers, so that at least they would not be killed because they were "worthless"; Alphonse would visit him every day after work and give free medical treatment to the Jews, who were convinced that Germany could not win and hoped that they could hold out until the end of the war, and then the Jews could return to their homeland.

However, as the tide of the war turned against him, so did the Nazi massacres of the Jews, and Schindler was ordered to execute a portion of the Jewish workers every week.

Schindler fell into a desperate state of anguish when Alphonse took out the potion he had hidden in his pocket watch—not a deadly poison, but an anesthetic that would lead to suspended animation.

As a result, every week Schindler would hand in a "death list", and the "corpses" that had been faked were taken away by Alphonse's brother Edward on the pretext of studying mysteries, and then secretly sent to a remote island by his wife, Leila, who was part of the underground anti-war organization, and finally transferred to England.

Such an operation lasted for half a year.

After the Normandy landings, the war situation in Germany was getting worse and worse, and when defeat was a foregone conclusion, the Nazis ordered all Jews to be killed in order to cover up the crimes of the massacre.

The four men had no choice, and they ended up leaving Alphonse with fake death pills to attract the attention of the Nazis, while the others raided the port with the remaining Jewish workers, grabbed a large ship, and sailed to Allied-controlled territory.

Alphonse, on the other hand, smiled and swallowed the potion in his pocket watch when the SS stormed his house at the east window.

"That...... Movie ...... "I really don't know what to say.

Ms. Leila understood what I meant, and nodded, "The screenwriter of that movie, Steve Zalin, once approached me through some old people who knew about it, and got a lot of information from me about the events of those years. ”

I remember! No wonder I saw that room just now and it looks familiar, isn't it all in that room when the foursome discuss things in the movie!

It's just that I remember mentioning in the "Epilogue" at the end of the movie that Ms. Leila later joined the Allies and died in the Battle of Berlin......

"Later I killed Hitler and avenged Aar." Ms. Leila's next words just cleared my mind, "Of course, it is to claim that I died in battle, after all, a strange woman who is immortal is really appalling. ”

"During that war, Edward discovered the truth about the Nazi massacre of the Jews - they had somehow learned the art of alchemy, and were using living people to make the Stone of the Philosopher, which was infinitely useful."

As she spoke, she took out a bright red stone: "The Sage's Stone, the highest achievement of alchemy, can bring the dead back to life, and give people immortal bodies and invincible strength. ”

Speaking of this, a strange sneer appeared on her face: "The funny thing is that those magicians who study this don't actually get the complete alchemy, so they make some half-finished products, and in the end, they are thrown into the alchemy circle they used to slaughter the Jews along with those half-finished products, and it has become something they have always dreamed of." ”

"It was then that I acquired this body that would not age or die. Edward, on the other hand, died soon after due to the intense radiation and his reluctance to use the Philosopher's Stone. ”

At this, Ms. Leila let out a long sigh, as if to breathe out the depression of the years: "It took me five years to reflect on my life and understand what was wrong. ”

"With power comes responsibility, and God has made us pass through to select the strong from among us, not to let us enjoy a happy life by strength."

"So, if you want to live a stable life, you shouldn't go for power; And now that you have the strength, it is impossible for you to live an ordinary life anymore. ”

"You want to fight, but you are afraid that the battle situation will continue to expand, and this attitude at both ends of the first rat leads to the fact that you can only follow the plot step by step, and finally leads to the sacrifice of your friends. But you have a good group of friends, and society is much more stable now than I was back then, so it didn't cause the tragedy we had at that time. ”

Originally...... Am I wrong......

"Actually, the right thing you should do at that time should be to ask your master Urahan Yusuke or other traversers for help, even if it turns the world upside down, you must win!"

"There may be many paths to choose from in this world, but when facing evil, there is no other way to go except victory!"

As I was out the door, Ms. Leila stopped me, pointed to the trees with the names on them, and said, "See those names?" Those were the people whom Al saved with his life. ”

"Don't look back, don't sigh, your friend's sacrifice is worth it. And what you have to do is not to miss or chase an unattainable goal like 'resurrection'. ”

"Use your power to help those in need and eliminate what threatens people, this is the path you should take!"

"I look forward to the day when your name will be recited."

Yes, all along, I've been just comforting myself with "the Destiny Host can resurrect everyone" to allow myself to escape from reality.

"Tomorrow" - I've always said "future".

Right now! I have what I can do and must do "now"!

"Schindler's List" is a good film, highly recommended!

These two chapters are transitions, and the next chapter should be the main story......
