"Welcome back, Ms. Alaye."

Tosaka Tokitomi, who was wearing a red suit and a blue bow tie, greeted me with a magic book in one hand and a red wine glass in the other.

"Well, I'm back." Because his attitude was so natural, I subconsciously responded before I remembered other questions.

Where is this?

Why didn't I go back?

Why is the backstabber here?

The position where I was awakened before because I blocked the gun for the director was a "dream within a dream", and theoretically I should go back to the "ordinary dream" over there, but if I was still in a coma and rescue over there, it was very likely that I would still stay in the "dream within a dream", but no matter how you think about it, you shouldn't see Shi Chen, right?

Didn't he soar?

I turned my head and looked around, and saw that it was what appeared to be the back garden of the Tosaka House, with an open lawn in the center, with only two stone lampposts and a hollow magic center that looked like Sheba, and on the inside of the surrounding walls were many bushes cut into squares, with abstract stone carvings embedded with rubies and magic nodes embedded in them.

If these were genuine, they should have been alerted and alerted at all times, as well as preliminary exorcism and attack magic, but there was no sign of mana fluctuations at all.

I looked up at the sky, the dark night sky was full of stars, and although I didn't see the moon, it was probably late at night.

And Tosaka Shichen sat in the back garden in the middle of the night, holding a wine glass in one hand and a book in the other...... Is this a scholar who is a scholar?

"Before you intend to ask me anything, I must regret to inform you that this is just a preset response magic," Tosaka Tokitomi took a sip of red wine: "My own words should have been assimilated with the roots, right?" ”

"Oh? Is it? What is the synchronization rate? Below 400% can still be salvaged. I looked at Tosaka Tokitomi who claimed to be answering magic.

"I didn't understand your question." Tosaka froze for a moment.

"Hmm...... Did Tosaka Tokitomi become Tosaka Siri? I shook my head: "You go on." ”

"I overestimated myself," Tosaka said in a storytelling tone, "You said, 'Don't look at the stars,' but I couldn't restrain my curiosity. ”

Oh? So is this actually the "root"?

I looked at the mountains and the city beyond the courtyard walls, and if it wasn't an illusion, he must have created it.

"Every star is a synthesis of the infinite possibilities of the same world, and after I was entrusted with the important task by you, I was relatively cautious at first about adjusting the time, place, and people, but as the number of 'adjustments' increased, and there was no sign of losing myself, I gradually became arrogant and began to make drastic changes." The illusion said.

Ah, that's right, the characteristics of the Tosaka family, extreme self-confidence.

"In the process, I noticed that for every 5% difference in the world I had left from the world, there would be some fundamental difference between the two sides, and this difference would lead to a very different past, and I was very curious about this and studied this pattern."

Aren't all magicians like that? At the beginning, Tosaka Shichen said that he was curious about the roots, and he had to go to the roots to take a look, and after I gave the roots to him, he was curious about other worlds.

"In the process, I inevitably used the 'power of the roots' many times, and because there was almost no cost or mental influence, and I was quite complacent about not being assimilated by the roots for a while, until one day I suddenly found myself thinking from the perspective of the world itself, and it was too late to think of mortals as ants, and completely unable to think as an ordinary magician, or as a human being."

Ah, is this a fit of the body......

For example, playing a 6v6 shooting battle game, every enemy or teammate has to seriously consider how to deal with and cooperate; But if it's a real-time strategy game with a population limit of 200, a single unit only has tactical value, and if you're lazy, you can directly choose all A, as long as you can win overall, local mistakes and sacrifices will basically be ignored; And if it's the kind of turn-based strategy game with a grand background and a long time, the gains and losses of one city, one place, one planet and one galaxy will not be taken into account at all.

"In any case, since I realized this, it means that my personal will has not been completely annihilated, and I thought that as long as I acted from 'me' and 'Tosaka Tokitoto' as the starting point, I should be able to gradually get rid of the root assimilation, but after making this decision, I realized-" The illusion paused, "I don't remember which world I came from. ”

appeared, the logo of the Tosaka family: "Drop the chain at the critical moment".

The illusion continued: "Because leaving the original world itself will cause changes to the world itself, and the changes made in other stars will also affect them due to the butterfly effect, so when I found what I thought was the 'initial world', I found that its offset rate was not 0, but [1.130425%], which should really be 0, but nothing. ”

Do you mean that you can't go back if you've gone too far?

"Because of the 'Power of the Roots' support, I decided to drag it back to the original '0' position," the phantom's voice was a little confused, "but when I dragged it to the initial position where I was sure of it, its offset rate became [2.571024%], and instead of recovering, it increased. ”

Didn't you go the other way around......

"I thought I was going the other way, so I re-intervened in the world and 'dragged' it in the opposite direction, and as a result, when the world returned to its original point, the offset rate became [3.207405%], and when it was further dragged to the same distance from its initial point as the opposite direction of the 0 point position, its offset rate reached [4.374511%], could it be that I could never go back? No, or rather, did I ever exist? Am I the root itself from the beginning? The phantom voice was vaguely audible in horror, and it was clear that Tosaka Tokitomi was also quite unsteady when he recorded these words.

It looks very pitiful.

"Still, it's your presence that gives me confidence," the illusion bowed his head, "In all the worlds, there is no sign of you, and the memory of your recklessness is obviously impossible to imagine by the existence of 'the root itself from the beginning', especially since many of your actions are simply illogical." ”

Phew, there must be something hateful about the wretched.

"I adjusted the 'initial world' a few more times, and even though most of the attempts were unsuccessful, its offset rate still became [4.901102%], and in order to prevent it from exceeding 5%, I had to stop the 'pulling' and 'pulling' moves, intending to try a plan that hadn't been proven and didn't know if it would succeed, at least, it wouldn't be worse, wouldn't it?"

"If I am 'assimilated' by the Root, then no one but you will be able to reach the 'Root', and this answer magic is only you can hear, so I apologize to you in advance - sorry for the trouble."

Tosaka's vision stood up and bowed deeply to me.
