Episode.4 Hiiragi - Oblivion (Part 4)
Monogatari continues......
Then, Ara Ryoki looked at Hiiragi and the duo.
"You two ......"
"Xiao Ye has already told you that he has some strange knowledge, and that is something that was taken from me, so of course we have to witness the end, and we have decided to go to the [Shouqiu Studio] to investigate."
"So, you're a weird expert too?"
"No, I'm not an expert, but I probably know everything you don't know."
"It's amazing."
Ara Ryoki simply agreed with Nagi's words.
At this time, the battlefield was inserted.
"I don't think you necessarily know what Araragi-kun knows."
"I can't object to that."
Xiao Nai replied to the words of the battlefield that seemed to be fighting for face for her boyfriend, and there was a sense of-for-tat.
Then, Xiao Na began to add.
"For example, how lovers get along with each other, how to make each other happy, and so on."
And so the conversation between the two sides ended.
Arayogi sent Battlefield Hara home and went to find Oshino Baa.
Hiiragi also accompanies Xiao Nagi to the so-called [Shouqiu Studio].
In order to facilitate contact, Ara Ryoki also asked Hiiragi for a phone number, but because Hiiragi didn't have anything, just as he was about to give up, Xiao Nagi took out an ancient flip phone and exchanged phone numbers and email addresses with Ara Ryoki.
"Why do you have a cell phone?"
"Because I'm different from Xiao, the first thing I do when I get into this world is not to think about how to complete a mission, but how to become a human being in this world. I picked up 10,000 yen just now. What a blessing. β
Nagi's mindset. It's always a surprise to Hiiragi.
In addition, unlike Xiao Nagi and Hiiragi, who are also unlucky, she is haunted by luck.
After separating from the two heroes.,No.,Actually, the current Hiiragi and Xiao Nagi can also be regarded as the protagonist.γ
"As the beginning of the story, I didn't really want to say that."
"Huh? What happened all of a sudden? β
"Do you want to know what the weirdness is attached to that weird girl?"
"Do you already know?"
"It's not that I know, it's just a guess, I only know what I don't know. Such an ambiguous conclusion is not mine, so I will give it to you. β
Giving the guess you made to someone else, this kind of thing can only be said by Xiao Nagi......
But even so, Hiiragi is not willing to let go of this opportunity to understand Nagi's guesses, and does not know what the conclusion she has reached.
"First of all, the girl who was possessed by the monster chose to 'commit suicide' when facing the strange killer, that is, Shinobu Oshino."
"Yes, using 'suicide' as a means to deceive the weird killer, that is, using lies to create truth, that is, can be understood as such, right?"
"Long time no see. You've got what you're good at...... That's right, the girl who was possessed by a strange thing. Lies were used to cover up the truth. β
So what
"The weirdness of making lies, no, the weirdness of deceiving others by this means, I have only one in my impression."
"It's weird...... Similar to the queen in "Snow White" who always changes her appearance and harms Snow White? β
"What a stupid metaphor that is."
"I'm really sorry."
"It's a wolf."
Well?
Very abruptly, Xiao Nagi just gave Hiiragi this conclusion.
Why wolves? What do wolves have to do with lies?
Does the 'wolf in sheep's clothing' represent a lie?
'The wolf is coming' represents a lie?
"It's a bit troublesome to explain this, so let's talk about it when we have the chance, because it's just speculation after all."
It's speculation, but Xiao Nagi still revealed a little
"In Abyssinia, both goldsmiths and silversmiths are revered. In contrast, blacksmiths are often seen as very lowly people. Their relatives will even think that they sometimes turn into coyotes. The blacksmiths themselves felt the same way, and they wore gold rings around their ears to distinguish themselves from the others. At the time, a man named Couffin claimed to have seen a coyote with earrings...... The villagers were panicked about this, but after the search failed, all the blame was placed on the person called Cofen, and the villagers who were deceived by the lie, and Cofen, who became a part of the lie, was caused by the lies initiated by the human wolf~ That is the weirdness called the 'shhhhhhhhh β
'Boo Wolf'......
In Hiiragi's opinion, there is something wrong with this description, and it also does not prove what the girl's actions are for.
Unlike Hiiragi's imagination, the story that happened this time obviously has little to do with the original "Monogatari series".
There is another important information Hiiragi has not forgotten, that is, Araragi said that he is going to find Oshino Baa.
If it were according to the original plot development, Oshino Baa should have left the city at this moment, but why is he staying here now?
As a weird expert, what is the reason for him to stay here?
It's only been three hours since I arrived in this world, and all kinds of problems have come one after another.
If you can, I really hope that the girl in front of me can answer for herself.
Unfortunately, such an idea is unreliable.
Because once Hiiragi also opens his mouth to ask for Xiao Nagi's help, Xiao Nagi will definitely deliberately give the wrong conclusion.
He only tells others the answers to the questions he is interested in, and he doesn't care about anything else.
To sum up, Baili Xiaonai is an existence that acts with interest.
In Hiiragi's view, Nagi doesn't fit into the infinite world.
Not to mention the wisdom she possesses, such a character alone can cost her life in some combat-type anime.
"Trouble ......"
"How?"
"No, nothing ......"
The conversation is over, and the two of them go into action in order to accomplish their goal of understanding the weird girl.
Like Hiiragi, Hyakuri Nagi is also an efficiencyist.
"Little also. Please speed up. β
"Don't think you can run with a wheelchair. That's dangerous. β
Xiao Nai pursed her mouth dissatisfied. In the end, I agreed with Hiiragi's words.
She glanced at the stars above her head, then looked at the lights in the distance that seemed to be soaked in water.
"When it comes to speed, speed and work efficiency are directly proportional, although there are exceptions, but the speed of work is also fast, indicating that the higher the efficiency."
"That's true, but isn't there a creature called a sloth? It does not travel more than 38 meters a day, but it is able to make good use of its internal abilities. For this reason, efficiency is more important than speed for one's own survival. β
"Sloths?"
Xiao Nagi laughed, feeling that something interesting had come to mind.
Hiiragi also remembers Nagi's character
For example, [keen on what interests you, disgusted with everything you are not interested in, always likes to think about problems from multiple perspectives, and deliberately complicates problems.] In front of people who are not interested, it is a mouthless character, but once it talks, it will not stop. γ
Another example - [I never boast about my merits.] Even if you have luck that is the opposite of Hiiragi. γ
At this time, Xiao Nai said
"Speaking of sloths. I suddenly thought of the cute koala. β
"Koala?"
"Yes, it's that Australian national treasure, the English name is Koalabear, which comes from the ancient Aboriginal word, which means 'nodrink'."
"You know that."
"Because it's not a cute creature, isn't it? They get 90% of the water they need from the eucalyptus leaves they feed, drink only when they are sick and in drought, and are very docile, but they are very cute and simple creatures. β
"Cute and simple ......"
If it is placed on humans, it can only meet one item at most.
For example, Xiao Nagi in front of her, she is only satisfied with cuteness, but not with simplicity.
"So, I hope Santa Claus will give me a koala."
"Huh? Do you believe in Santa Claus? β
"It's not a question of believing or not believing, I'm just hoping for it, it's different from believing, hope doesn't mean believing, isn't it? I wish you were smart, but I don't believe you're smart. β
"There's no denying that, and it's a bit hurtful."
This kind of conversation is like going back to the real world when we met.
In response to Yu Xiaonai's remarks that he wanted a koala, Hiiragi also refuted
"The koala seems to feed only on Australian eucalyptus leaves, and it has a big appetite, but it is quite a picky eater, eating only 12 of the more than 100 species of eucalyptus."
"It's okay, just plant an Australian eucalyptus."
"Is this kind of thinking naΓ―ve?"
"Don't be afraid of any animals stealing food anyway. After all, eucalyptus leaves are particularly high in fiber, low in nutrients, and very toxic to other animals, which is the exclusive food of koalas. β
"Koalas look like they're amazing creatures."
"And it's pretty cute, and if I could, I would really like to have a koala nation in the world."
"Like a theme park?"
"It's koala country, not koala park."
"Give koalas citizenship?"
"That's a good idea!"
Koala Miss Baili Xiaonagi agrees with Hiiragi's opinion......
In other words, once the koala state is established, there may be koala diplomats holding eucalyptus leaves at the World Conference.
When you think about it, it feels like an SF movie, right, for example, Rise of the Planet of the Apes.
Koalas belong to koalas, and now they belong to the present, and Hiiragi is more fond of creatures like dogs and cats than koalas.
As the saying goes, 'Cats and dogs are friends of man'? But there has never been a 'tiger and koala are friends of man'.
Depending on the object and the situation, the conclusions drawn will be different.
At the same time, Hiiragi is still struggling whether he should be considered a cat pie or a dog pie.
It may be that the interest in koalas was sparked by Hiiragi's remarks just now, and Nagi continued while observing the street situation
"Maybe there will be a Koala Physics Prize in the future."
"What's that?"
"It's the same award as the Nobel Prize in Literature."
"Apologize to Nobel!"
"It's noisy, that's to make Koala an emperor."
"Do you want to restore the monarchy?"
"You don't think koalas are the creatures that should rule the planet?"
"I think women are the ultimate bosses."
It is not known whether a koala will be able to rule the earth, but maybe a woman can rule the earth.
Say why. That's because women are the foundation of the birth of the new human race. If the woman rejects the man. It will cause the destruction of the world, and then men will have to compromise.
By the way, this truth was seen in a certain magazine, and it is not original.
Many people value originality, but originality is not so important, and what should be thought about more than originality is the correctness of things.
The correctness of things and the correctness of theories are fundamental.
Take koalas, for example. If someone thinks that koalas will conquer the world and comes up with a fairly plausible theory, then everyone must seriously think about whether there will be a day when koalas will conquer the world.
It's just that koalas are just koalas after all, and on the other hand, Hiiragi also thinks that robots and intelligent AI are easier to conquer the world.
"By the way, those two people just now are really a couple, right?"
"Haven't you even watched the anime of the Monogatari series? I've recommended it to you before, right? β
"Of course, I did, but I just wanted to double-check. This is called obsessive-compulsive disorder. Also, in general. Couples should be more alike, such as movements, manners, conversations, and so on. β
It seems that in the eyes of Baili Xiaonagi, the couple is portrayed by a mold......
It's just that her statement is not entirely wrong.
"It's true that couples are a little similar, but they haven't reached the point where you said, if the actions and behaviors are the same as the conversation, they are not lovers at all, but brothers and sisters."
"How can brother and sister be alike?! And you, this guy, even said that couples in the world are brothers and sisters, are you jealous? β
"Not really! Just to use an analogy, two people who are similar are not necessarily lovers, and couples are not necessarily alike, that's what I mean. β
"But it's more likely that two people who are similar will become a couple."
Nagi leaned back to look at Hiiragi, her hair hanging down, and she could see her fair chest and smooth forehead.
The lights staggered, and the horns of cars sounded in the distance.
"No, no, no, Xiao Nai, I think two people who are similar can easily become mortal enemies."
"Oh?"
"Whoever you are, you hate the other self, of course, to exclude those narcissists."
"Hate yourself...... This statement may be true, if you see yourself and yourself doing what you want to do and do, you will instinctively refuse. β
"Of course, if you and you do what you do together, you will definitely have an imperfect view of yourself."
"That is, look at yourself from your own point of view."
"Yes, that's another manifestation of what is called self-loathing."
I felt a little unbearable for the conversation where the word 'self' appeared frequently.
That's it, two people who are similar are really difficult to get along, so there are couples who are not alike.
Dissimilarity means that many places are different, and there are differences in opinions, and here, disadvantages appear.
So, Xiao Nai was the first to speak out
"Wouldn't it be strange if two people who weren't alike became a couple? Isn't it strange that they are different in many ways, but they have to be reluctantly together? β
"The solution to this problem is, of course, the power of love."
"The Power of Love ......"
Xiao Nagi repeated Hiiragi's words.
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Nagi, who confirmed the way, picked up the previous conversation.
"The power of love - that is, two people who are not like each other who have become lovers, because they love each other, they will compromise in all aspects to achieve a situation of peaceful coexistence, which is a win-win situation in terms of competition."
"A win-win situation for couples, it sounds good, from my point of view."
From the strict and unnatural point of view of the 'mysterious girl who knows everything she doesn't know'-
"Isn't it strange to compromise because of love? If you like the other person's words, you won't force the other person, but your statement is to change yourself to cater to the other person, which is too strange. True love should be direct and simple, and mutual compromise is just a perfunctory way. β
Miss Xiao Nagi's statement is quite sharp.
"When it comes to compromise, the compromise between couples is not perfunctory, although I don't have a girlfriend, but couples who don't look like each other should feel like this when they fall in love."
"I don't know if I don't have a boyfriend, but couples who don't look like each other are fundamentally incompatible."
"Could it be that Nagi you tend to be similar couples?"
"That's not what it means."
That's right, whether it's Hiiragi or Nagi, they're all hovering between resemblance and dissimilarity.
Quite simply, there is no medium option among them.
Even if there is, couples who are in the middle may have more difficulty dating.
"If you say that couples are similar, even if they are similar in daily life, you will come to the conclusion that you will dislike people like you."
Nagi lengthened the conversation for a moment.
"Maybe that's the case, after all, if you live with someone who looks like you, you will find that you are not unique in the world."
"What about the twins?"
"Nagi, twins aren't a couple, so it's no problem."
"After all, whether they are similar or not, is it still a question of whether they are a couple or not?"
The two men tilted their heads together and looked at the picture in the distance that had taken on a ninety-degree angle due to misplacement.
"At the end of the day, what is a couple?" β
Looking at it this way, it was really nonsense just now.
No, it's not nonsense......
"By the way, do you know how to get to [Shouqiu Studio]?"
"This ...... I haven't looked at the map here, and even if I did, I wouldn't necessarily be able to find my way through. β
"It's really lazy, didn't you have a map when you passed by just now? It's right next to the street lamp bus stop. β
Xiao Nagi, who was quite observant, said this, raised her right hand, and said Hiiragi, who was directing her wheelchair
"Turn left ahead, don't forget it, Xiaoye, the so-called truth, has always been in an inconspicuous position."
Yes, Hiiragi understands it very well.
That's how attention is paid to the details.
However, whether it is Hiiragi or the white girl in front of him in a wheelchair, they are all fakes...... (To be continued......)
