“…… How can this be......"

At this point, the girl stopped.

Yuji lifted his heavily drooping face, and it turned out that he had already walked to the stall selling pineapple buns.

The girl told the clerk that she wanted to buy all the pineapple buns on the baking tray. While waiting for the clerk to bag it, he whispered in a gossipy tone:

"It's just that when human beings are gnawed, the world is distorted because of the sudden creation of a blank space, so it is necessary to set up a substitute for the gnawed human beings, that is, a torch, to cushion the impact of the blank closure."

The girl took the bag full of pineapples. Bowing slightly to the clerk, he paid the bill and took the change. The action exudes a solemn majesty, and even the cold attitude does not make people feel unreasonable.

"You saw the torches dangling around, didn't you? It is to replace the gnawed humans in that way, temporarily maintain the connection between humans and the world, and then the sense of existence will gradually fade, and when the spiritual fire in the body is burned out, it will be forgotten by everyone...... Ahh ”

The girl pointed to one place with her free hand.

"Huh?"

"You saw a torch coming towards you, right?"

In the midst of the crowd, a middle-aged man who gives a fleeting impression steps on a cramped and restless step. In this person's chest, there is a faint spiritual fire.

"Is that the one with a weak spiritual fire...... Ah......h

Suddenly, the flame was extinguished.

The man also disappeared without a trace.

As if it wasn't a big deal, I wasn't surprised at all. I just felt that the man had suddenly disappeared.

The passers-by around him didn't show this incident at all. No, I don't care at all. In fact, even Yuu is the same.,If it weren't for the girl's reminder, I'm afraid I wouldn't have noticed this person.。 It shows that the man's "sense of presence is very weak".

In the blink of an eye, it was overwhelmed by the crowd and could no longer be seen.

But this person did disappear just now.

"That'...... That is, does it mean to burn out......? ”

"That's right."

"It's amazing! After this torch disappeared, the people next to him didn't care? Is this what the torch does? Pretty much understood? Even Gong Xiaoyun, who had already seen the scene of the torch disappearing once in his own home, couldn't help but let out an exclamation!

"Yes, the torch will gradually lose its sense of existence, so that others will not notice it, and it will gradually lose itself, and finally disappear"! The girl replied briefly, then took another step and took the pineapple bag out of the bag.

On the side,Yuuji, who was walking side by side with a trot.,Looking around for the people who turned into torches that the girl said.。

About one in thirty people...... In the midst of the crowd, there is a "human substitute" with a faint spiritual fire in the body, which is eye-catching and disgusting.

“！”

Another, the spiritual fire extinguished at the edge of the horizon.

Another person disappeared.

The crowds are still flowing.

Is this what the world you live in, without knowing it......?

The remnants of the gnawed people wander around...... ...... world that is gradually crippled unconsciously?

The crowds are still flowing.

Yuji hugged his head, as if he couldn't bear the real feelings and fears that were pressing in front of him, as well as the heaviness of the facts.

"Those people, all ...... They've all been eaten...... Was it eaten by those monsters just now...... It's too much! ”

Instead of the girl who began to munch on the pineapple bun, the pendant replied:

"It can't be said that due to the unrestrained devouring of the existence of this world, the world is out of balance, and many of us 'Red World Apostles' are worried, which will have a negative impact on our world's 'Red World'."

"We? You're the red guy too...... Monster companions? ”

Yuji finally felt "incomprehensible" that the pendant itself could speak.

"The 'Burner' you met was nothing more than a servant of our 'Apostle', but you were right."

"In short, in order to prevent disasters, it is the mission of our 'Fire Mist Warriors' to catch and annihilate those who are indiscriminately hunted, do you understand?"

The girl, who is a fire mist warrior, briefly agreed, and then munched on the pineapple bun again. I guess I really think it's delicious, but I saw that my face was slightly softer, revealing a childish expression that was no different from my appearance.

Yuji forced himself to accept the almost absurd explanation that the girl blurted out with the pendant, and went straight to the point.

own focus.

The accumulation of cold ...... in my heart Fear makes the voice hoarse.

"You just said I ...... I'm 'Mystis', right? ”

I remember it very well! The girl admired it slightly, but still replied casually:

"That is, the 'torch' that has the treasures or powers made by the 'Red World Apostles' in this world."

...... "torch"?

Yuji feels like he's about to come to a tragic end.

"When this torch is extinguished, the treasures and powers in it will immediately be transferred to another torch, which simply means 'activity treasure', you are unlucky to be revealed by the other party, so they will rob you of the treasures or powers in your body.

"Torch".

How did the girl describe the term before?

The heartbeat is getting stronger.

(You're not a person, you're a thing!) ）

Everything fits perfectly. Their own situation, position, and existence gradually took shape. I can finally digest the other party's explanation gradually.

(The real existence of "you who used to be a human being" has been gnawed away by the "Red World Apostle" and has long since disappeared!) ）

It hurts so much in my chest.

(Now you are just a substitute to alleviate the impact of the disappearance of existence on the world!) ）

The throat choked.

(In place of the gnawed humans, the connection between humans and the world is temporarily maintained, and then the sense of existence will gradually fade, and when the spiritual fire in the body is burned out, it will be forgotten by everyone...... ）

The voice trembled.

"W-uh...... That, I ......."

Yuji didn't move.

The girl also stopped impatiently and turned to look at Yuuji.

"Don't make me say it so many times, you're just the dregs of yourself, an existence that is about to gradually disappear."

"But I obviously still have memories, Genda and Chi didn't ignore me, they still remember me!"

(I actually said "I'm dead"!) …… No, someone told me that "Yuji Sakai is a long time since he died", so "this me" can't answer "yes?" "And then accept it silently?! Yuji is trying to find his reason for existence! ）

"Of course, you are the residue of yourself, and naturally you will have memories. Your spiritual fire is still bright, and England will not be a torch for long, so there will still be people who will remember you, and after a while, your relatives and friends will forget you, and everything that can prove that you once existed in this world will be gone! Xana replied as a matter of course.

"Strike!"

It should be said that there is a huge and deep fear and loneliness.

That's one, it feels like the whole world is shaking; Or is it like being abandoned by the world, an extremely serious sense of imbalance?

"Once extinguished, the Noble Phantasm will move to the next torch, and other people's memories of you, everything you have done, and the footprints you have experienced will all disappear, because existence is gone."

This "fact" for him is equivalent to the declaration of the death penalty, and not only that, but it is even equivalent to the fact that "he is still alive", and the whole structure is falling apart.

"How...... Yes? This is not true! Dream... Yes, it's all a dream! "Yuji Sakai doesn't seem to be able to withstand such a blow, and he is already incoherent!

He looked around, looking for a place to escape, to escape from his current self.

At this time, a big hand slapped him on the shoulder, "Don't worry, there will definitely be a solution, even if everyone will forget you, I will definitely remember you!" ”

"Genda ......" Yuji Sakai was a little moved!

But he didn't know what Gong Xiaoyun was thinking in his heart: "Do you want to tell Xiana and Arastol what the treasure in Yuuji's body is?" After thinking about his main quest, it seemed that telling them that it was meaningless to him, and he also coveted the zero-hour fan, so he suppressed this idea! ”

"I'm sorry, Yuji Sakai, Zero Hour fan, I'll save it for you!" Gong Xiaoyun thought secretly in his heart!

It was completely dark.

With a heart full of sorrow, Yuji Sakai returned home.

"Welcome back, Xiaoyu, let's wash our hands first, and then eat," said his mother, Chigusa, with a friendly smile.

Oh, uh-huh! It seems that Yuuji, who didn't come back to his senses, replied perfunctorily, and after a hasty dinner, Yuji returned to his room in a trance.
