Chapter 3: The Spell and the Journey to Dongmu
The gray spread, and all movement came to an incredible halt.
This is - the world where time has stopped! It's the reality of the world that only a girl named Sixteen Nights Sakiya knows!
Theoretically, as long as Sakuya's strength is enough, she can freeze time forever.
However, not to mention that she does not have such an endless source of power, in terms of purpose alone, the world of stopping is not what she is after.
About four seconds after stepping through the door, the gray faded and all movements continued naturally, no one noticing that their time had been altered.
It's just that outside of the world, a being who lives on the timeline, as if sensing something, quietly opens its eyes.
Inside, in addition to Kenneth, there is also a cool woman, Sora Nazele Sofiari.
When she looked at Kenneth, her eyes were always full of cold and stern gaze, which didn't look like she was looking at her fiancé at all, but a stranger who didn't have a good feeling.
It seems that this Miss Sola is quite dissatisfied with the wedding arranged by her father!
Sakuya, who was thinking like this, smiled at the two of them with perfect aristocratic etiquette.
"Gui'an, two!"
"Sixteen Nights, who allowed you to come in?"
Kenneth's expression was as arrogant as ever, and Sakiya could even clearly sense the contempt projected from his eyes. Probably because he was said something bad by his fiancée just now, his expression at this time was even more unkind than usual.
"Oh, it's me, Lecturer Kenneth."
In the face of such Kenneth, Sakuya smiled, and a chic and indifferent temperament naturally exuded, which was intoxicating.
On the other hand, Kenneth, who gritted his teeth and got angry because of this, was more than a step behind.
On the side, Sora, who was indifferently watching the development of things, looked at Kenneth, then at Sakuya, and then at Kenneth, and when she looked at Kenneth, a trace of disgust couldn't help but emerge from her eyes.
This is not to say that Sakiya is better than Kenneth in terms of "masculinity", if you want to say why, it can only be said that Sakiya is too good in terms of appearance and temperament, and the world always can't help but pursue beautiful things.
Kenneth is actually not bad, but Sora's impression of him is not good, coupled with Sakiya's excellence, it is easy to say that there is a trace of disgust in comparison.
Sakuya, who didn't know that he had been raised a lot of money unconsciously, looked at Kenneth calmly and continued, "Actually, I also want to participate in the Holy Grail War that will be held in the Far East. But alas, the Holy Grail doesn't seem to have chosen my idea. ”
Sakiya showed the back of her jade-white hand.
"However, I want to get the Holy Grail no matter what, so, Lecturer Kenneth, may I ask if you can pass on your Command Charm to me?"
"Oh? I see, is your purpose a spell? ”
After listening to Sakiya's words, Kenneth gradually calmed down, and he got up from the couch and took out a test tube filled with silver liquid.
"Ah, the spell can be given to you, but on one condition, if you can defeat me!"
Kenneth pulled the piston with a dangerous smile on his face.
"Tsk, is this really the case?"
Looking at Kenneth, who had a murderous aura looming on his body, Sakuya chuckled, and a silver dagger quietly jumped into his hand.
With two casual waves in the air, Sakiya's blue pupils were suddenly filled with a sharp aura.
"But I'm sorry, you won't even get a chance to make a move! Chrono Symbol: Personal Space! ”
As Sakiya's words fell, the space suddenly resounded with the ticking of the second hand, and the frequency of the sound continued to slow down.
Kenneth's movement of tilting the test tube became extremely slow, on the contrary, Sakuya's movement was as fast as lightning, and he appeared behind Kenneth with a hand knife, which easily knocked him out.
"What, don't you help?"
It's obviously a cold silver, but it shimmers with dazzling brilliance in the sun, and the blue eyes return to gentleness after completing the attack, as clear as the sky, and there is a free and easy smile on the corner of his mouth, Sakuya looks at Sora, who has been watching until now, and asks.
“…… Why not kill him? ”
Sora frowned and looked at Sakuya.
"Huh?" was slightly stunned by Sora's words, and then Sakiya couldn't help but laugh, "Heh, ah- sorry, I don't think he's worth killing." ”
Placing Kenneth flat on the ground and using the psychic medium to heal the magic, Sakuya easily transferred the spell to his own hand.
Hawkers, after all, it's a magic trick that I've been preparing to practice for a long time, and my hard work has paid off, right? Though...... Ahem, I accidentally broke Kenneth's magic circuits.
Standing up and flicking her hair, Sakiya gave Sora one last look, the dagger spun between her fingers, and then pinned Kenneth's hand to the ground.
Crisp and clean! Without a hint of hesitation!
"If you're really dissatisfied, just kill yourself, this ...... I hate you, but I really love your man. Anyway, if there is evidence, I won't deny it, and it doesn't matter if I pass the buck to everything. ”
Shrugged his shoulders, and as the tail note fell, Sakiya's figure disappeared in place, along with the quaint box containing the holy relics on the table.
The box is made of wood, and there are many runes carved on it that look like seals.
Back in the dormitory, Sakura has already prepared a large gift box, and it seems that not only her own things, but also her things have been packed!
"Yo, what a reliable sister!"
Stroking the top of Sakura's head, Sakiya smiled and gave her the expected evaluation.
Looking forward to recognition, looking forward to the praise of the elders, children are sometimes very easy to satisfy!
Stepping out of the clock tower and using a vehicle called an airplane, Sakura takes Sakura all the way to the airport near Higashiki City without any danger.
Yes, no surprises!
Why do you want to emphasize this again? That's because, of course, Kenneth and Webb have very different positions within the clock tower.
Weber's private parcel can still be regarded as a joke, but the death of Kenneth, who is a first-class lecturer, has absolutely no possibility of being taken as a joke.
No danger, no notice, no pursuers...... This can only show that the woman with a flaming hair color, but a personality like ice, did not kill Kenneth.
Although I don't know what kind of considerations she has, I'm scared...... Or something else...... In short, other people's lives are up to them, and Sakiya thinks to herself that she doesn't have any special reason to interfere. Well, in general.
Although there is also the possibility that the woman herself has suffered all the consequences, but Sakuya, who has really realized the cruelty of the magician world, does not have much hope for it.
The entry procedures are a little troublesome, probably because of Sakuya's own young appearance of only seventeen or eighteen years old, plus seven-year-old Sakura, a high school student who looks like a girl alone with a little girl, and most people will ask, "What about your parents?" "Isn't it?
Really, I knew this earlier, so I took Sakura directly through this formality.
Looking at the irritable customs officer in front of him, Sakuya thought helplessly, but his expression looked unusually calm, and there was a feeling of "as long as you take out your hole cards, you can turn the tables in an instant".
Hmm, it's annoying! Hypnotize him!
