Amuro didn't know where this was, only that he was originally following Momotaro, but as soon as he took a step forward, the world around him changed in an instant.

The thick darkness absorbed all the light for a split second, and then turned into a closed black space.

A lotus-shaped river lantern is suspended in the air, and the golden candle flame ignites the wick, and inside the candle flame, as if a special effects composite film, the scenes are automatically played, like a slideshow.

Steps descending from the feet automatically appeared, and the lotus lanterns stopped on both sides of the stairs since they converged, illuminating the next road for Amuro.

However, even the lotus lantern that shines in this boundless darkness has dark shadows that do not illuminate.

A fantastical scene happened in front of his eyes, and Toru Amuro went from shock to faint surprise and accepted the accident well.

Probably because, he took it for granted that it was a dream, so whatever happened, his brain would give a hint that it was possible.

Because it's a dream.

So Amuro didn't panic at all, he tentatively walked down the stairs, and the stairs that suddenly appeared did not change, and the lotus lanterns gathered on both sides did not happen anything unusual.

He stared intently at the flickering picture in one of the lotus lanterns, and found that every scene in the lotus lantern was related to him.

Amuro looked at the other lotus lanterns, and although the contents of the other lotus lanterns were different from the one he saw, they were all about him and the real world without exception, which made him feel as if he had come to his own memory storage space.

After reacting to his thoughts, Amuro shook his head with a smile and walked towards the bottomless basement.

In fact, Amuro guessed half right, this is indeed a memory storage space, but it is not Amuro's, but the real world.

This is the inner world space inside the Holy Grail, a memory palace that carries all the human beings and memories of the real world.

If you are pulled into the inner world space, then just like Amuro Toru, the floating lotus lanterns you see will be memories of that person and the Holy Grail itself.

All the deepest dark memories are the pitch-black canopy that envelops this inner world, that is, the evil of this world......

"Whew~"

The red candle flame automatically extinguished at both ends of the stairs as Amuro walked down, and Amuro kept an eye on his surroundings as he walked, but it was always pitch black all around, and he couldn't see anything else, and naturally he couldn't see the inside of the extremely black steps, which were actually black liquids that flowed on their own.

The further he went, the darker Amuro thought it would be, but he didn't.

After completing the stairs, the spacious and bright underground palace appeared in front of Amuro.

One after another, black and red ethereal flowers with a ghostly glow grew on both sides of the straight road in the middle, and the pollen that shook off from the swaying of the flowers became the only thing of light in the space, combined with the pitch black surroundings, lining this place as if it were under another starry sky.

Amuro looked up, and by the light of the pollen in the air, he saw a carved pattern resembling a holy grail in religious beliefs on the flat ceiling.

The last lit lotus lamp also extinguished its light, and it turned out that before he knew it, he had come to the end of the road.

"Zero~"

A familiar and cheerful voice sounded from behind him.

Almost as soon as the voice appeared, Amuro felt a tap on his shoulder.

He turned sharply and saw a girl dressed in a fetter dress.

The fetters are nuns' robes that combine Western holy religions. A robe made of pure white silk and embroidered with gold and red threads looks like an ankle-length one-piece dress when worn on a girl's body.

"Really, really?" Amuro was stunned and called out the girl's name.

Mashi curled his blue eyes and smiled at him: "I miss you so much, Zero!" ”

Zero......

Toru Amuro's Adam's apple rolled up and down twice, and for a moment, he felt speechless.

How long has he not heard this name?

Three years?

No, plus the days of seeing the real world, in total, it is three years and four months.

Since they broke up and met again, she had never called him by his name so intimately. Of course, there are also reasons for the special work he is currently engaged in, so that the real world cannot call him this long-lost title.

When he heard it again, he felt that he actually missed this title very much, and there was no problem for him in front of him, and his eyes were full of likes.

"Huh? Zero, why don't you speak? ”

Seeing that Amuro just stared at her and didn't react, Mayo tilted his head in confusion, his eyes revealing incomprehension.

Amuro opened his mouth and was about to say something, but the girl suddenly puffed up her mouth and turned around, looking angry.

"You're a real man! I said I was going to accompany me to Happy Island, but if I'm late today, it's like a log! You know, I finally got free to get rid of my family! ”

"Sorry, I was thinking about things just now, not next time." Without thinking about it in his brain, he said this sentence spontaneously almost at the moment when the real world words fell.

After saying this, his thoughts froze for a moment, and the sparkle in his eyes disappeared for a few seconds.

In a few seconds, the surrounding area suddenly changed from the style of the underground palace to another scene.

In the square, the musical fountain spewed water columns, and the sparse couples took pictures around the musical fountain, and other pedestrians who walked alone threw surprised glances at their couple from time to time, as if to say, "What's the matter with you, guy?" I actually made my girlfriend angry".

"Humph! There is no next time~" Mayo pouted, arrogantly forgave Amuro Toru, took his hand again, and the two walked towards the ticket gate of Happy Island hand in hand.

On the way, the real world was chattering about what projects he would sit on later, and what snacks he would buy to eat.

Amuro looked at Mayo's lively appearance softly, and when he heard Mayo's words, the corners of his mouth were hooked, with a doting arc.

Really.

You've just said that you just want to go to the roller coaster, and now you want to go on a ride on something else......

The corners of Amuro's mouth flickered upward, and a flash of light flashed in his chaotic thoughts.

Strange, how could he think that the real world just wanted to ride the roller coaster?

What you just said?

But aren't they just converging?

The real world should not have said this.

How could he think that the real world had said this?

Amuro started his brainstorming and didn't even go along with his girlfriend's words.

And the real world, who was holding Amuro's hand and chattering, also noticed Amuro's distraction, and couldn't help but squint dangerously, and snorted in his mouth: "Zero, what are you thinking?" ”

——Digression——

Doing things, doing things~
