Chapter 5

Hokkaido, Japan.

A low-key luxury mansion.

Because of the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, Long Jianwei, who immigrated to Japan from Guangdong, China with her adopted daughter Alice, looked at this girl who was hurriedly carrying a big bag. The malnutrition caused by wandering in his childhood has already recovered in the past few years of living with Long Jianwei.

The slender body, brown healthy hair color, and bright light brown pupils are very beautiful.

"Alice, why do you suddenly want to travel to Fuyuki City?" Long Jianwei's handsome face has never changed with time, and now standing with Alice is less like father and daughter, more like a brother and sister.

"After careful consideration, I have decided that this is the best opportunity to travel to Fuyuki City!" Alice said firmly. Perhaps because of her half-breed, Alice has the hair and eye colors of other races, but has an oriental face.

"Oh? Why? You know, there's still a war going on on the front line! Long Jianwei said funny, but he only complained about Alice's inappropriate behavior, and did not explicitly object.

And Alice, who knew the character of Long Jianwei very well, did not have a trace of surprise on her face, and replied calmly and seriously: "Well, I know about this matter, so I have to go now, otherwise there are so many tourists in peacetime, and it will be very difficult to go again!" ”

"Uh......" (What the hell is this logic?) Long Jianhua was so correct that Alice was speechless that he couldn't say a word.

Only a freak like you will enjoy the beauty of the scenery next to the desperate work of others! Long Jianwei kept complaining in his heart.

Long Jianwei is such a person, forever "young" to live, and no matter how long it takes, no matter how long it takes, Long Jianwei's warm youthful breath will fade.

Long Jianwei was speechless for a while, then stood up and walked to the entrance, "Have you brought all the clothes you have changed?" ”

"Hmm!" Alice nodded.

"Do you still have any money?"

"There's a lot more, it's enough!"

"Pay attention to your body outside, eat and sleep on time."

"I know!"

Simple and unpretentious, like a real father seeing off his daughter who is about to go out, just some simple and personal inquiries and instructions, and then enter the farewell stage.

"Good luck!" Long Jianwei said.

"......" Hearing this farewell speech, Alice was speechless for a while with a big bag on her back before she said: "Your farewell words are really unique!" ”

"No time to travel is unique like you!"

“……”

Alice looked at Long Jianwei speechlessly, and then ......

"Poofha!"

What a strange father and daughter, even they themselves feel that way. Alice laughed so hard that tears were spilling out of the corners of her eyes, and Long Jianxi was also laughing breathlessly.

Finally, the laughter stopped.

Long Jianxi: "This world is not peaceful, be careful!" ”

Alice: "Well, I see, Father! ”

……

Driven by the Emperor's open-door policy, Japan has entered a rapidly developing industrial society.

In the newly established steam railway station, the trains roared past the not-so-large railway station like hideous steel monsters.

But speaking of which, the weird farewell phrase of "good luck to you" is indeed the best farewell word! At least, that's the case for me now.

Alice sat on the new steam train and thought as she looked out the window at the rapidly receding scenery.

The verdant trees were rapidly receding, the fresh but somewhat shaved air was blowing in the face, and the roar of the train was not too harsh in the process of running at high speed.

"War must not be allowed to ruin this beauty!"

Alice thought so, and the knuckles of her right hand holding the glass turned a little white.

As a child, she traveled with her father and witnessed too much hell, and unlike those who lived in it. As she fell into hell, a large warm hand pulled her out of the darkness. She was lucky. And it was because of this luck that she had the idea that "I want people who live in hell to have the same luck."

……

Long Jianjing, who was still in the mansion, took out the newspaper in the mailbox and went into the kitchen to take out a bottle of wine.

Shaking the bright red wine, reading today's news, I stretched my waist very comfortably, and said to myself: "Ah~! The little girl has finally grown up, her strength is okay! It should be enough for this 'trip'! ”

On the left hand of the newspaper in the dragon's eye, the luster of the ruby ring was as bright as it had been five years ago, like a flame that had condensed into substance.

……

London, England, Clock Tower, Antyas House.

After years of hard work, Belica finally entered the Clock Tower Magic Academy, which is located inside Big Ben.

At this time, with Belica's sudden burst of magic talent, the Antyas family jumped up, in the courtyard.

"Father! Can that legendary Holy Grail really grant any wishes? ”

Belica looked at Murray excitedly? Anteas, the old man who has regained his glow.

"Yes!" Murray? Antyas nodded and said, "However, if you have studied the first two Holy Grail Wars, you should know the danger of snatching the Holy Grail****!" Also, this time the Templars are also involved, as a judge of the Holy Grail War! ”

Murray? Anteas said this, but his face was far less heavy than it had been when he had mentioned it to Belica a few years earlier. He was confident in Belica's current strength, even against the legendary Imperial Three Family, Murray dared to guarantee that Belica could retreat with his own strength.

"Well, I know! However, the revival of the family is complete! As she spoke, Belica showed off the magic circuit that covered her entire calf, as if she was wearing a magic dress, "Now, it doesn't matter if I'm here or not!" ”

"......" Murray saw that Belica had made up his mind, and sighed slightly, it is one thing to have confidence, but what about the dragon and phoenix among the people in the magic world who participated in that battle? However, even if he is worried, Murray will not refuse this because ......

"Can't you forget them?" Murray's eyes were filled with a faint worry in his eyes.

"yes, I can't forget Chris? White and Noah, if the Holy Grail is truly capable of even miracles, I will resurrect them with it! ”

Belica's expression was very painful, like the sorrow of frost sealed forever. Obviously, I have already made up my mind not to be that powerless little girl, but ...... still implicated others because of his own powerlessness. Noah's lovely face with blood-stained eyes is a nightmare and ...... she can't forget in this life Warm.

Even if there was a little hope, she had to hold on, and if she didn't, she was afraid that she herself would really go crazy for the rest of the years. Her life, and the heart of the stone in her chest that never beats, is that handsome teenager Chris of the viper? White and that silly sweet white girl Noah gave her, with life given to her.

――

Except for Murray? Anteas, no one knows, even Noah's family and Chris? None of Shiro's family knew about it. Belica had actually died two years earlier, and now she came back to life because of the miracle of the cold heart in her chest that would never be there.

And for Belica, it was the one who died twice, which was a miracle of fate.

Saying...... Isn't there too much of a wonder in this world......

It all started three years ago, when Belica, who had just turned 20, was still working hard to revitalize the Antyas family, and she was squeezed into the Clock Tower Magic Academy, with great enthusiasm and hard work for everything. However, due to her lack of strength, she unfortunately died during a hunt for a crazy mutant golem.

Chris, who learned all this? Shiro didn't cry like Noah, just frowned, and then, pulling Noah away. Just instructed Murray before disappearing? Antyas said: "Uncle Antyas, freeze Belica's bones, don't let her suffer any more damage, I will definitely save her!" ”

Chris? In vain, Murray didn't take it to heart, how could a person who was already dead be resurrected? That's something that even miracles can't do.

However, watching Belica, who had been working hard for the revitalization of the family, died, and her young face was forever frozen at that moment. Murray? Anteas still retracted Belica's body and sealed it in the ice coffin with tears in his eyes, no matter what, Belica was his pride.

――Three months later——

The door of Anteas's house, which looked very old, was opened again, and Noah, who was ragged and had lost a lot of weight, suddenly broke in and asked Murray without saying a word? Antyas: "Belica, where's Belica?" ”

The voice was very anxious, as if time was running out.

Murray, though confused, led Noah into the underground ice vault where Belica was frozen.

At that moment, Murray witnessed a real miracle, a huge magic circle painted by blood, and in the center, Noah took out a brilliant gem from his arms, dug out the heart that had long stopped beating in Belica's chest with his bare hands, and put the gem inside.

Chanting: "Angelic light: I have always believed that all angels have shining hopes on their wings, and there will be a crisp sound when they collide in the wind." How I thought maybe the next wish would be for the angels to fly with it, bathed in holy sunshine. There should always be an angel who listens to me and is willing to gather the brightest stars for me. But the stars are so frightened that they have hidden behind the clouds, and in the darkness only my wishes shine with an undying light. I put my dreams on your shoulders, and they've found their home ever since. In my dreams, the world is no longer wandering, and it is full of the fragrance of ideals when they are in full bloom. ”

As Noah recited softly, the jewel located in Belica's chest radiated a multicolored brilliance, and the wounds on Belica's already stiff cold body began to heal slowly, the cold frost gradually faded, and the skin gradually regained its ruddyness, fairness and warmth.

An unknown magical light flowed through Noah's fingertips and poured into Belica's body.

"Hmm!" Belica suddenly felt a warmth in her body, and opened her eyes, the pitch-black ceiling was somewhat familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it.

"Belica!" A familiar call drew my gaze.

It was Noah, she was thin and dirty, and only a pair of beautiful big eyes were still bright.

"No...... ......"

"Hmm!" Noah heard Belica's call, an angelic smile appeared on his face, and then two lines of bloody tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, and he placed a crystal ball on the ground, turning into a sky of stars and floating in the void.

"Noah?"

For a moment, Belica thought she was dreaming. Noah's stupid sweet white has such a mature smile, he is obviously dead, why is he still alive? This must be an illusory state after death!

Belica thought so, waiting outside the magic array for Murray, who had been waiting for the light of the magic array to dim? Antyas ran in and hugged her and cried bitterly, losing his daughter twice, so that this half-old man who was entering the late middle age experienced two great joys and sorrows. It was still a kind and kind face with sobbing eyes.

Really? This dream is so real......

Thinking so, Belica picked up the crystal ball that Noah had left behind, and a pile of memories that didn't belong to her flooded into her mind. The huge amount of information, but it did not make Belica's head have any pain of information explosion, like a clear spring, quietly flowing in Belica's mind, telling her a long story.

The story of a young man and a girl who write to save her......

……

Coming back to her senses, Belica found that she had returned to her room from the cold basement, the familiar furnishings, and she had retained the same way she had been before she died.

The lives of the two of them were exchanged for her Su Sheng.

A stone that is said to be the heart of an angel caused a miracle that not only brought her back to life, but also brought her a new magic circuit, reviving the Antyas home almost overnight.

――

At a young age, wearing a guru robe, Belica quickly passed through the corridor of the magician master of the clock tower that she had dreamed of countless times, and walked into the High Magic Library.

The doors of the library slowly close, Big Ben in London chirps loudly and widely, time is still flowing slowly, nothing stands still, the gears of fate are still turning, never broken because the parts are too old.

……

"Me...... I don't want to be a weak little girl anymore! ”

……

……

Gu Youyun: "The danger is high, and the difficulty of Shu Road is difficult to go to the blue sky......"

Aina? Bessarius set foot on this ancient Chinese land, dressed in cute little dresses that did not fit in with their surroundings. Standing on the top of Qishan Mountain, standing in front of Wuzhang Plain. Hunting in the strong wind, Aina pressed the brim of her hat with her hand and looked around at the great rivers and mountains.

In his hand, he held a feather fan of unknown material.

"Is this the hero's hometown?"

That day, after she opened the peach wood box and took out the feather fan, she found a line of small words written on the bottom of the wooden box: made-in-China, Qishan, Wuzhangyuan.

Truth be told, Aina didn't know the owner of the fan, and when she was commissioned to find the relics through the Elizabeth School of Magic, she had only one request: "The most loyal hero!" ”

――

PS：

Relic: The more representative the thing used by the hero during his lifetime, the more it can summon the hero himself.

Heroic Soul Summoning (Address): The closer you get to the hero's lore, the stronger the hero summoned by the Gathering of Faith. For example, when summoning King Arthur with a Culibar in the United Kingdom, it is possible to summon a white Lily, and in addition to the Sword of Oath - Victory, you will also receive the Knights of the Round Table (similar to the King's army), the Red Dragon Bloodline (think Berserker's madness), Merlin's Blessing, and other treasures.

Meow sauce three open...... I really don't want to do the kind of 4,000-word chapter divided into two 2,000-word chapters...... (To be continued.) )
