"[I'm dead]? …… Well, there's no way around it. ”

After Lin Hao's projection appeared and greeted Ryunosuke, he tried to clean up the messy house without realizing it, but he couldn't touch anything, and finally stopped in despair, and said with some frustration.

Ryunosuke's fingertips twitched, but he couldn't think of how to convince her for a moment.

The current "Lin Hao" was "sealed" by Yade, who no longer had a holy spear in it, when she "dissipated".

In the words of the scientific side, she is now a piece of brainwaves that can be sent to the past with a "time machine".

In the words of the magic side, it is "soul".

In short, her current state is "Valhalla", and that small cube is her "Valhalla".

However, her state is the same as those soldiers in Iskander's Noble Phantasm: Inherent Enchantment "King's Army", there is no job and no armament, and if there was no Noble Phantasm provided by Gilgamesh, those soldiers who want to deal with the Demon God Pillar can only take people to pile up.

Could it be that this is the turning point that Acha said? But isn't that more troublesome?

After confirming Hayashi's state, Ryunosuke thought quickly.

At present, there are three ways to allow her to continue to live like an ordinary person: "Servant Summoning", "Quasi-Servant Fusion", and "Quasi-Follower Dependence".

The problem with becoming a servant is that even if she can be summoned in this capacity, who can she beat? If she has no combat power, why did Alayah send her over, so as to lose face?

The intended servant needs to be integrated with others, not to mention that it is actually another person, whether it will be awkward, just talking about the synchronization rate, there are probably few people in the world who can stay like her.

As for the "Simulated Servants" that the Heroic Spirits or Gods choose to use because they are too strong to come directly...... Well, let's reconsider how to make her able to fight.

Other solutions, such as simply sending her to the past, or asking the clock tower for help, were not in Ryunosuke's consideration, the former would cause her to fall into an infinite loop, and he would have no contact with her at all, as for the latter...... Pigs aren't that easy to do.

"Hmm...... It's really strange," Lin Hao was gently stomping his feet on the floor at this time: "Why can't you touch something, but it won't fall to the center of the earth?" ”

"[Of course, because you are the heroic spirit of 'Alayah', 'Gaia' won't let you go down.] Yad replied.

"Huh? Am I a Heroic Spirit? Why? Lin Hao's eyes widened.

She's pretty self-aware.

How do I know? Yade replied, "[Anyway, you must have something special, otherwise in a city as big as Dongmu, so many people die every day due to illness and accidents, wouldn't their souls be taken in by me?" 】”

What's so special?

"Okay, let me ask you," Ryunosuke asked, "Do you know why the spell appears on the back of your hand and can be used to summon others?" ”

"I don't know, I was just thinking about it, hoping to find a way to help Ryunosuke, and it appeared on its own." Lin Hao shook his head.

"[This is the 'Master' trait, not the 'Heroic Spirit' trait," Yard explained, "[Unlike the 'Holy Grail War', 'Alayya' will send a Heroic Spirit to try to save the entire human community when it is possible to destroy the entire human community, and the one who will receive the spell will be the chosen 'Master'. 】”

"Save the world?" Ryunosuke thought about the previous situation, even if he really let the Demon God Pillars go untreated at that time, with their strength, it would be too difficult to destroy the world.

"[They may not destroy the world in the same way you think]," Yard said, "You know, according to legend, Solomon has seventy-two Demon God Pillars, and you have only defeated three. 】”

“…… Are you trying to say that there are still sixty-nine Demon God Pillars hidden in the corners of the world? Ryunosuke frowned.

"No," Yard replied, "Do you remember?" That Matthew, she claims to be from the 'future Chaldeans', so we are here for her the 'past', which proves that the 'Chaldeans' already has a full version of the 'time machine'. 】”

"So ......"

"So she used the time machine to go back to the 'past', it must be to save the 'future' that has been 'destroyed'. Yard said categorically.

"Denying the past, interfering with the present, reversing the future," Ryunosuke muttered to himself, "So, this is just her first stop?" How can you tell if this side is over? ”

[Because she became a heroic spirit, isn't this explanation sufficient?] Yard punched an arrow at the top of Lin Hao's head.

From the distant future, he did not hesitate to sacrifice himself just to save the regrets that had happened in the past...... How does this story sound familiar?

"So if her mission is accomplished......" Ryunosuke remembered the time period when Matthew appeared, it was a world where there was no magic, magic, and heroic spirits at all before everything happened.

"At that time, the 'Destroyed Future' of the world she is in will be reversed, and the other worlds that were once affected by the Demon God Pillar will return to normal. Yade spun around in place a few times: "[Become a world where the Demon God Pillar has never appeared.] 】”

Therefore, although I used "time and space text messages" and "time machines" to cause some trouble, those troubles were actually there and were not released because of my own actions.

[On further thought, didn't Matthew say that she was separated from her master? Did she get separated from the master first, or—]" Yard looked at Lin Hao, who had an expression of "unclear awareness" over there: "Or is her master suddenly gone?" 】”

"So, should I go with her through the time machine?" Ryunosuke suddenly realized: "As long as everything can be solved, then Xiaohao will become the same." ”

"[The children can be taught. Yard swayed up and down, as if nodding in praise, and if it had hands and a beard, it would have stroked its beard with one hand and a fan with the other.

"So, one last question." Ryunosuke paused: "Why did Grey say that you like to talk nonsense, let me fight casually?" ”

"[This ......]" Yade froze for a moment, "[Didn't you notice that what I said before was all speculation, and there was no evidence at all?] 】”

Does that seem to be the case? Ryunosuke thought carefully about why he believed Yard's words, and found that most of its descriptions were consistent with what he saw in the "starry sky" and "haha mirror maze" when he "crossed", and with this evidence, he unconsciously agreed with its inference.

But, to the magicians of the Clock Tower, who don't keep their memories as the worldline changes, isn't it unsubstantiated and meaningless?

"I say Yard, what is the most Grey usually says to you?" Holy spear, pull the anchor'? Ryunosuke asked with a slight smile.

"['Noisy' and-" Yard's voice was muffled: "['Shut up'. 】”
