Chapter 20: The Place of God's Birth
"Where's Sa——!!"
With angry questioning, the door was pushed open forcefully outside.
Mu Xiu, who was sitting on the sofa in the hall on the first floor with his legs crossed, pressed the remote control again and again boredly, and let the TV program keep changing channels, plucked his ears and looked sideways.
Sanzenin Nagi looked angry, and his two ponytails were almost turned into tentacles with teeth and claws.
“……”
“……”
Mu Xiu blinked, then turned his head again, and pressed the remote control for a while, repeating the process.
"Hey! Didn't you hear me! The double-ponytailed tsundere Lori ran into the hall from the door in a panic, came to him and waved vigorously and asked.
"I heard you." Mu Xiu replied lazily, and then yawned.
"Then why don't you even squeak! That's rude, isn't it?! ”
“…… Chirping. Mu Xiu's eyebrows trembled, and a strange look appeared on his face, he looked at the tsundere lady who ran to the front to block his vision, and then said slowly.
“……”
“……”
Sanchiin Nagi: "Forget it, I don't care about you in general, have you seen Xiaosa!" Did he come here or not! ”
"Ayasaki-san? Didn't you see it, wasn't he supposed to be with you? Everyone arrived at the same time at noon! Mu Xiu casually threw away the remote control, leaned back on the sofa, and said in a rather weak voice.
"No, he just said he was going to help me pick up the hat that was blown away by the sea breeze, and then he was gone."
With her left hand raised and her right arm pinched her chin with her right hand, this tsundere Lori lowered her head in contemplation, her double ponytail hanging down to the ground little by little.
Then after a minute or so, she said with some uncertainty.
"Well, then it's useless for you to come to me, but why do you think he's here with me?" Mu Xiu covered his forehead helplessly.
“…… I didn't come to you specifically, isn't this the house of Aige? Am I mistaken? As if she had heard something strange, Sanzenin Nagi finally reacted, and she stared around curiously.
"I'm borrowing it for the time being, I don't need to look at it, it seems that Aige is going to help someone send something, so I went out just now......"
The boy yawned, then was slightly stunned, as if he had thought of something, he directly lowered his head and thought about it.
“…… Is that so? ”
Although Sanzenin Nagi was still a little suspicious, after glancing around again, he still retracted his gaze stupidly. Then it wasn't until this time that she seemed to notice the look of Mu Xiu's face, and her eyes suddenly widened-
“…… Is that the only one here now? ”
"No, Daisy-san's are also there, and there are ...... Well, my sister is upstairs too, but they're all resting at this time, do you want to meet them? ”
"No, I'm not interested...... I just think ......" Tsundere Lori showed her cute tiger teeth, her expression became curious, and she reached out and pointed at her face as if to indicate something.
"—do you care?"
Mu Xiu couldn't help but sigh, then reached out and touched his cheek, his gaze suddenly became deep, "That's really a trap, I was ......beaten by her even though I didn't do anything."
If he did do something, he would have died a rather ugly death, right?
Wait, wait! But that's not right, no matter what you do or don't do, you will be beaten, isn't this fate destined to be only one from the beginning?
This really shouldn't be, even the "Lord God" will never arrange a mortal mission, and there will definitely be a glimmer of life hidden in the two options.
What did you overlook?
"No, nothing...... I don't understand it, but you've worked hard...... "Sanzenin Nagi smiled and turned his face away, his expression became wonderful.
Although I don't know what happened exactly, I always feel that I can't get involved in this matter, just like Xiao Sa, it's because I'm too nosy all day long, so I'm often on the verge of life and death!
“……”
“……”
"Is it about half-past one o'clock in the afternoon when he disappears?" Mu Xiu suddenly asked, and naturally brought the topic back on track.
"Well, I'm not sure, but it should be at that time......" Lori replied with a lack of interest, "but how do you know the exact time?" ”
Her gaze became suspicious again, and she seemed ready to rummage through the room.
How do you say that? When a woman's suspicion is out of control?
"No, Ayasaki-san is really not here. By the way, did you look for other students before you came here? ”
The boy raised his eyebrows, and could only change the subject again as if nothing had happened, he raised a slender index finger and shook it to attract the attention of Sanzenin Nagi, and at the same time he was saying very terrifying words in his mouth.
"And, maybe he's going to the beach? After all, the three primary colors of Mykonos are blue skies, white houses and human bodies, and this paradise beach is particularly famous, and it is also a favorite place for gay and lesbians......"
"W-shh Same-sex ......"
Sanzenin Nagi was shocked, and after a few seconds she reacted and screamed, turned around and rushed out the door with all her might, "No, no! Absolutely not, too, too too impure! ”
“……”
“……”
Watching the back of the double ponytail staggering and disappearing outside the door, Mu Xiu nodded with satisfaction, and then he just stared at the scenery outside and the sun that began to set westward, and fell into thought.
Just now, Xia Aige said that she was going out to deliver something, and then Ayasaki Sa estimated that for some reason she had touched the power of the law of time, and she was sent back to Mykonos ten years ago, just like in the original book.
Defeat the mafia, save the young lady, forge a bond that transcends time and space, and by the way, he also met with Mu Xiu himself at that time......
It's just that ten years have passed since then, and it is estimated that the memory of the three thousand courtyards is very vague. If it weren't for triggering today's plot, she wouldn't even remember that guy ten years ago was actually her housekeeper.
Of course, Mu Xiu is more concerned about other aspects.
"This time...... Probably not a coincidence, right? What Aige's classmates are going to give, is it Wang Yu or something? ”
With a long exhalation, Mu Xiu got up from the sofa, and then walked directly to the wide open door, the TV automatically flashed behind him and the screen went black, as if it was turned off because the circuit was broken.
It seems that the plot of the debtor steward traveling through time is today, and according to the development, he will probably come back at eight or nine o'clock in the evening and appear on the disappearing beach.
Mu Xiu felt that he might be able to go and see, and if he was on the scene, he would probably be able to figure out what the mechanism of Wang Yu and the power of the stars was able to grant their wishes.
He also knew one of the principles of the Wishing Machine, which was the Holy Grail, and he also knew the method and technology of making it, as long as it took some time and could provide enough stable pure energy, it could be made.
But that's a complete example of a miracle made by force, it's simply the shame of the so-called wish machine, to put it bluntly, it's a cow that doesn't drink water and presses its head -
Relying on a spiritual vein land of the level of a city, after a full sixty years of accumulation, that huge magic power can distort the thoughts and minds of various natural phenomena and even living beings with a little guidance.
Moreover, the force of interference is capable of achieving a planet-level distortion effect.
Theoretically, anything can be done as long as the "amount" of mana is sufficient, but in a sense, it is just the most wasteful way to use precious energy.
After all, the Holy Grail doesn't divide the number of times it is used, and no matter what kind of wish you make, it's a one-time consumable.
Wishes that cannot be fulfilled will not react, but wishes that can be fulfilled will consume all the vast magic of a Holy Grail at a time, no matter what it is.
For example, "resurrecting one person" and "resurrecting ten people", although the intensity of these two wishes is different, the effect is the same, and both can be seen as within the scope of the Holy Grail, so they can be used to compare and illustrate.
Regardless of which of these two wishes is made, the magic of the Holy Grail will be depleted at once.
It doesn't say that because it can resurrect ten people, but the wish you make only requires one person to be resurrected, it will only consume one-tenth of the magic power, and nine-tenths will be kept for you to use next time...... How can there be such a cheap thing!
That's why Mu Xiucai was very disappointed with such a wish machine.
In his opinion, even if the real wish machine is not as good as Kewpie, who can make magical girls directly achieve the principle of the ring, it should at least be the level of Dragon Ball!
Desperately increasing the total amount of energy, and then distorting the world with too much energy - what is going on with this inexplicable mechanism of great power and miracles?!
"Star Power, I'm interested......"
A faint whisper that was not spoken to anyone, nor heard by anyone, drifted away with the sea breeze, and the door was casually closed by the young man who walked out.
……
……
The bright moonlight sprinkled down quietly, as if silently telling something.
The summer stars hang brightly above the Tianhe, connected together, with unreal brilliance.
The clear atmosphere provides the best stage for the starry sky, and if there is a place where the magic of the Great Source on this planet is the strongest, this is undoubtedly a node.
There is magic in the atmosphere, and of course this "magic" does not refer to the special energy refined by magicians or magicians.
- Rather, it is mana, the purest source of energy, which is called "magic power" in the West and "Qi" and "spiritual power" in the East.
This kind of thing can also be directly equated with the embodiment of mystery, such as clarity, density, and range, if it can be measured, then it can be intuitively observed that the relative mystery between regions is high.
In fact, the technique of measuring spiritual pressure used by the observation team of the Super Natural Disaster Countermeasures Laboratory is a manifestation of this principle.
The higher the supernatural energy index, the more likely it is that supernatural events are likely to occur.
"This sea ...... It must be the place where the gods on this planet were born. ”
Hearing such a sentimental sentence, Mu Xiu, who was hiding in the shadows of the night and observing the beach in the distance, turned around and saw a girl with long purple hair walking slowly behind him, with a gentle smile on her face.
"Aige-sama, good evening...... Are you coming back now? ”
Mu Xiu raised his eyebrows, and then chose to say hello.
Perhaps because it is close to the ancient Aegean Sea and bathed in the charm of ancient Greece, Xia Aige's body at night seems to be flowing with brilliance in the moonlight, exuding a completely different aura.
"Yes, I wanted to come back and rest after running errands, but I found that my physical strength seemed to be relatively ...... Abundant. ”
The girl thought about it for a while, and then found a word that was not so appropriate to describe her physical state.
"I've never felt like I've ever felt like I've been in a much better state since I came back to Mt. Takao last time, at least I won't be able to run a few steps and catch my breath."
"yes, that's a congratulations."
"Well, thank you......" Xia Aige chuckled and smiled meaningfully, "But then again, what are you doing outside here at this time, classmate Mu Xiu?" ”
She glanced at the beach opposite, and saw the eldest lady of the Sanqian House sitting there rather lonely. 8)
