Chapter 12: The Equally Lonely Man
(Customary Vote Request.) Hurry up and hand over all the tickets to meββ! οΌ
"I'm a little surprised that you're coming over so soon."
A jar of tea was placed in front of the young man, and the royal sister opposite pulled out another jar of tea, took a sip, and said casually.
Nanaya picked up the drink and smiled: "I'm also surprised that you would live in this kind of place." β
The surroundings are a little stronger than the ruins.
A semi-finished office building.
I don't know what happened during the construction, but it was hastily abandoned.
In some places, even the basic facilities are not done, and when walking inside, ordinary people will even worry about whether their feet will suddenly collapse and fall into meat sauce.
Of course, that kind of thing, with the existence of the genius magician in front of him, is obviously impossible to happen.
It's just that the facilities are rudimentary, that's for sure.
Ordinary people, should be unbearable.
"This kind of place can hide even more from the fellows of the Magicians Association."
The orange-haired royal sister waved her hand absently.
"I'm not afraid of them, but if I always follow them like a fly, it's quite troublesome."
"Oh?" Nanaya turned his head and looked around.
"Jialantang...... Does the name mean anything? β
"Don't you think it sounds mysterious?"
"I see."
Qiye couldn't cry or laugh a little, but for the character of the orange, it should have been expected a long time ago.
"The ...... you told me last time"
Orange put the drink on the table, her face became a little serious, and she frowned and looked into Nanaya's eyes.
There was a hint of cyan magic eyes in the dark blue, and looking at it, even through the glasses, made her feel a palpitation.
"It's even more terrifying, it's a shame that you can still smile in front of me so plainly."
"Relying on your method and this pair of glasses, you can barely control it at present." Qiye shook the drink in his hand and smiled indifferently: "As for the future, didn't you say it, there will be a solution." β
"So I ask you, what is the solution?"
"Can I not say it?"
"Can I hit you?"
ββ¦β¦β
The corners of Qiye's mouth twitched, put down the tea in his hand, and looked to the side.
There, is a half-finished doll embryo.
The appearance is somewhat familiar, and although it is only partially completed, Nanaya can detect something from the general appearance.
"Teacher, you should understand, curiosity is not a good thing."
"And you've been piking up my curiosity?" Orange sneered, and with one word, he broke the purpose of the seven nights.
"I'm not talking about that, but ......"
Nanaya pointed to the puppet next to him and looked at the orange: "Why do you want to make this kind of thing?" β
"In memory of the disciples...... Isn't that possible? β
"I haven't heard of a teacher's commemoration of a disciple, which is based on his body, a complete body." Qiye calmly complained: "If you say that the night is lonely, use my model to comfort me, maybe I will believe in a ...... more"
Bang~~~
Before he could finish speaking, a fist smashed the chair behind him into pieces.
Qiye had already flashed to the side, looking at this scene, the corners of his mouth twitched.
"Puberty has arrived, so it's starting to be heat? Even I dare to flirt? β
"Something like that seems to have been heard somewhere......"
"Huh?"
"No...... I mean, teacher, your excuse is a bit too crude. β
"It's just an excuse anyway, you just need to know it in your heart."
ββ¦β¦β
It's really a typical royal sister character.γ
Nanaya sighed and pulled a chair over the side and sat down.
"Give up, teacher, with the power of this world, there is no way to create another 'me'."
"If you don't try, how do you know."
"But haven't you tried many times?" Nanaya pointed to another room not far away.
In there, there are more than a dozen unfinished dolls, all of which are of similar size, but they are only halfway done, and they are completely impossible to continue.
Obviously, this semi-finished product in front of him is not the only one, before this, the royal sister has only done it many times, but without exception, it all ended in failure.
The highest humanoid envoy can be said to represent the pinnacle of doll making in this world, but he can't make the same body as the boy in front of him.
In the dark, there always seemed to be something stopping her.
What the hell it is, the girl didn't guess, but even if it was inhibition, it was impossible for her to be unaware.
The only possibility seems to be the existence that countless magicians in the dark are pursuing.
The beginning of all things, the root of all things.
"What doesn't exist in the world...... How can it be. Orange's gaze was a little confused.
"yes, how is that possible."
Qiye smiled, picked up the tea again, and tasted it quietly.
"What the hell are you hiding?" The royal sister raised her head and stared at Qiye tightly.
"Too much curiosity, not ......"
"Give me no." The royal sister took off her eyes, her whole temperament suddenly changed, and she looked at Qiye indifferently: "Isn't this exactly what you want?" Say it. β
From gentleness to indifference.
Glasses are the turning point of the other person's personality.
Taking off her glasses, it shows that the patience of the royal sister has indeed reached a limit.
"Orange-sensei." Qiye stood up, picked up the eyes of the royal sister from the table, stretched out his hand, and gently put them on to the other party, and said in a calm tone: "With your intelligence, since you can see it, why do you want to jump in again?" β
After sitting back in her position and putting on her eyes, the royal sister's face looked much better.
"I just don't want to lose the last person I can talk to."
Speaking plainly, the royal sister said indifferently.
Qiye was stunned for a moment.
Lowering his head, the boy smiled a little unnaturally.
"I kind of understand why the two of us became friends."
Whispering, Nanaya raised his head.
Looking through the glasses of the royal sister, Qiye saw something very familiar in the eyes of the other party.
In the final analysis, both of them are lonely people on each other's paths.
It's because the situation is similar that they are attracted to each other, right?
But he still has at least autumn leaves, and amber and emerald...... And Fujino.
And the royal sister in front of her has nothing.
The relatives who had fought for it personally refuted her qualifications and wiped out her years of hard work.
Former friends, after she lost her inheritance qualification for magic, all turned their faces to each other and stopped interacting.
Even the closest sister turned against him and became enemies.
When it comes to loneliness, she is even more than herself.
"So, Aozaki Orange, I'm going to ask you a question now."
"What?"
Qiye closed his eyes and said that classic sentence with a smile -
"You want to be really...... Alive? β
