BGM: BRYNHLDR IN THE DARKNESS

Magpie's right hand pulled at his hair, and his fingers parted to show a helpless expression on his face.

"Anyway, tell me what the lamp is, something that deserves to be so secretive. ”

"Eh? It's obviously common sense. The master has really become a fool after this reincarnation. ”

“。。。 Lily. ”

"Yes, yes, understood!" Lily will tell you. ”

Coaxing a childlike tone.

"Hush. ”

Magpie pretended not to hear, and it was more appropriate to fly all the way, or to fly close to the ground.

"So... How much do you know about candles?"

"The supreme ruling class in this world, the life of a qualitative change. No, it is too narrow to say that it is life, and it should be the existence of "a certain degree of influence on the outside world". ”

"Hmm... It's really a general definition, worthy of a master, but it's not bad. ”

Are you complimenting me or calling me stupid?

"It is true that the ability to influence the outside world is indeed a criterion, but this criterion is not uniform, the criterion is only derived from our intuition, and there is no clear demarcation between the candle flame and the level of life below it, it is only an ambiguous definition. ”

"Well, after all, the world is chaotic enough. So what does this have to do with "lights"?"

"The so-called candle flame itself is just burning and infecting foreign objects, and it acts according to its own will. Therefore, it will not be subject to too many restrictions from the outside world. ”

"But the "lamp" has a clear direction and purpose, and this direction is not determined by itself, the light is just a passive choice under the influence of fate?"

"Fate?"

"Well, yes, the master hates that word, right? But it's also true. ”

"A lamp is a lit match, or some other combustible, and these beings that are ignited by foreign objects do not qualify as candles. ”

"At best, they are just tinder, they are kept in captivity in cages called fate, and eventually all the combustibles are mixed together and become flammable. ”

"In the end, there is the possibility of a candle flame. ”

“。。 Do you say they have multiple lights?"

"Of course, otherwise how can it support the burning of a candle? All quantitative changes are for the last moment of qualitative change, in order to achieve an unprovoked fire that can burn spontaneously without combustibles. ”

"Now, master, do you know how the candle flame in this world was born?"

“。。 Doesn't sound like a regular road. ”

"Is it really possible for a creature as weak as a human being, or rather, for all known beings, whether gods or humans, to that extent?"

The answer is no. ”

"My master and I don't belong here, so there is no such restriction, but for the existence here, this is the only way out, and we have been restricted to death from the very beginning. ”

"A bright light is a planned candle flame that is alive before the dust settles, after the mission is completed, then it is a real candle flame. ”

"To put it bluntly, it is the son of the era favored by fate. ”

"Almost all of the current candles,Whether it's a school park.,Paradise or not.,Most of them are from this background.。 ”

"Master, you lit the flame so quietly, I guess you have become an outlier in the eyes of all candles. ”

“。。 Do you too?"

"Well, that's also thanks to the master. ”

"I don't remember anything ever done, but if you do, so be it. ”

""Don't interfere with other people's choices," right?"

"Huh. . . For me, it's just a matter of being a specific being. ”

Although it was rejected.

Magpie smiled a little weakly, and its low-flying body stopped as if the picture was frozen, looking up into the distance

Autumn God... Can you fight with others at this time?

Are you okay now?

Is it a winner or a loser?

Are you hurt?

A complicated look flashed in Magpie's eyes.

Yes. What about my little assistance?

Yes.

No matter how high-sounding the words are, no matter how distorted the essence of being a human being, some things still remain.

It's the emotion of wanting to be needed.

Hopefully that girl can be saved by herself. - Aren't you the most aware of the arrogant idea that people can only save themselves and save others or something, and that is the trigger for destruction?

It's fragile, but it's also a bond.

Thirst for connection, fear of losing.

So I ...

。。。。。。

In the distance, the yellow clouds are like a closed curtain, obscuring half of the shape of "Marker No. 1", and the ground is covered with fine cracks like broken porcelain.

Rusty tones are everywhere, as if there is some kind of forced rendering mechanism, esoteric colors drench everything around them, and absurd nightmares contemplate the walls in the depths of the wilderness.

The exaggerated low pressure enveloped the four fields, and even without the influence of that thing, it would be impossible for normal creatures to survive in such a low-pressure environment.

In addition, compared to the last time I left, there was no grass growing around, but the radiation at this time was even more exaggerated.

If the pollution before was capsizing oil tankers, now it is the extent that entire nuclear power plants are thrown into the sea.

Magpie pulled out his right hand in his pocket, his mind moved slightly, and the inner scene was projected around.

Imagine first. Well, the air is good.

The hair fluttered slightly, and then the wind blew violently, and countless air filled the small space and spread out in all directions.

The simple clean air was infused with a strong idea, and in just an instant, a high-pressure center was formed on this barren plain, quickly filling the vacant world.

"Ah, master, have you arrived? ”

"Early?"

"The master has always liked to come before the appointed time. ”

“。。 Didn't you tell me to hurry up as much as possible?"

"That's true, but if the master doesn't want to, Lily can just help you push it off. It's just a matter of this magnitude. ”

Magpie unfolds a network of psychic harmony.

The surrounding environment is full of unsettling factors. The souls of the dead who were originally hovering around, that is, the consciousness bands of the deceased, are now distorted, vicious, and full of instability, as if they have lost their minds.

Seem...

They are suffering beyond their means.

"Then forget it, if it's a matter of needing to send out the crown to your sister, once I refuse, I will probably need you to replace it at that time. ”

"Ahlala, is the master worried about Lily?"

“。。 Not clear, but at least you helped me a lot. ”

"I don't believe in good intentions for no reason in this world, but I'm willing to believe you more or less once. ”

"Besides, it's a good time to show me how useful I am. ”

Magpie said and opened his arms, and the formless and insubstantial wind seemed to pour out of his chest, greeting the world feverishly.

The high-density air stream condensed into bundles and soared into the sky, soaring upwards like a sharp sword that cut through the rust-colored clouds.

"Master, you're amazing, I knew you were the best for Lily!"

"It would be better if you could settle down a little more ... Not really, that would be too boring. ”

"In other words, is Lily the right now, the right Lily, what you need?"

The girl's sweet voice was full of joy.

"Hmm. ”

"It's great~ Nana, master, what other services do you need? ”

"Whew. Not at the moment. ”

A minute later.

The high-pressure air mass had accumulated to a new amount, and then this force that was condensed inward began to release its own turbulence and surging, and a large amount of air rushed in all directions, and the ubiquitous rust color was directly destroyed where the storm passed.
