If it's just the same appearance, then there's nothing to worry about - in essence, these are two completely different and independent entities, and even if one is destroyed, it will have no effect on the other.

So, as long as this ice coffin spell is allowed to complete, it will all be over...... There is no pain

(Sure enough, that's not what I wanted)

The scarlet hue in the depths of his pupils was replaced by a deep blue, and his right hand, which was about to clench, suddenly stopped.

Above.

The space around her was completely sealed by hard ice, and in the face of this girl who couldn't understand the scene at all, she suddenly looked at the culprit who caused all this below.

(It's good if you hate me, hate me...... Or maybe that's what you should have done) Slowly, the right hand opened a little bit, and the sealed ice coffin gradually split and disintegrated.

(After all, I was never the time-traveler you knew...... It's just a machine spirit called 'Rilan'.)

In the depths of his soul, the angry voice before seemed to be an illusion, and it completely disappeared at this moment.

Gently pushed the big phoenix in his hand upward, obviously not speaking, but Lilan's voice sounded clearly in Akagi's ears.

"Leave, the sea does not belong to you"

Hesitating, after Akagi took over the unconscious Dafeng, he seemed to want to say something to Rilan, but because he was under the sea, he couldn't say anything at all.

Shaking her head slightly, Lilan didn't try to figure out what she was trying to say, but pushed her left hand up.

The surging undercurrent lifted the two girls upward.

Then, Rilan looked around at the sea that had returned to calm around him.

Again, as in a fairy tale, the "princess" who was dragged into the abyss by the "devil" was rescued by the "prince", and this time. But he became a "demon......

-- So, what should the "demons" who have lost their "prince" do?

(This...... Not something I'm willing to bear...... ）

Finally, the gaze was fixed on the "abyss" below, and the suspended body sank down again, little by little. Slowly but surely......

In the last moments before consciousness stalled, the perspective was fixed on the floating pale figure.

―――――― Split ――――――

"For a pure human soul, the possibility of going through countless worlds and immortalizing for endless time is almost infinitely close to zero"

"And what do you want to do?"

"It's simple, just transform into a non-human"

“…… So do you or you? ”

"It's just a change in appearance - it's like a human being has changed into a pair of clothes."

“…… I understand that as your auxiliary, I will support you unconditionally whatever you decide to do"

"A wise choice, at least it saves me the effort of changing an auxiliary spirit"

“……”

Water Savers. Eventually, you will drown

So, "Lilan" survived, and "Lilan" died.

By extension, it is still unclear which one is the true self, and the only thing that can be confirmed is that this state will continue forever and forever......

―――――― Split ――――――

The eyes opened, and the out-of-focus pupils reflected the crumbling ceiling covered in cobwebs above.

Half a day

"Forget everything. Restart ......"

Holding on to the edge of the bed, it seemed that Lilan subconsciously looked out through the only window in the dilapidated room.

Bihai. Blue sky, cloudless.

muttered: "...... I hate the sea."

"Crunch" There was a creaking ** sound from the dilapidated door panel, and looking in this direction, Lilan saw a ...... Little girl?

"Oh!" As if she had discovered something surprising, this little girl, who looked less than 10 years old, suddenly made a sound that startled Lilan.

Merely. Soon, Rilan's attention was drawn to the "toy" in her hand.

“…… Zero? ”

As Lilan's eyes looked into her arms, the little girl smiled excitedly: "Hmm! Zero! ”

As she spoke, as if she was afraid that Lilan would snatch it, the white-haired girl hugged the "toy" in her hand tightly, and said to Lilan in a vague tone: "Zero." Northern! Gale, northern! ”

The corners of his mouth twitched, and Li Lan understood: "It's not dead yet......"

At this time, before he fell into a coma in the deep sea, the last figure he saw also revived from his memory.

"You saved me?"

"Save?"

After hearing Lilan's inquiry, the little girl didn't seem to understand the meaning of "rescue", and tilted her head to think for a while, just as Lilan wondered if she was distracted.

"Zero, toys, northern!" Without warning, the little girl held up the familiar Zero carrier-based aircraft in his hand to Lilan - although he didn't know why it had become so small, it was a real carrier-based aircraft.

"Gale, toys, northern!"

Looking at the little girl who didn't know what she was talking about, Lilan felt that the conversation between the two seemed to be completely no longer in one dimension...... Fortunately, in the next sentence, Lan still understands a little bit

"You, toy, salvage, northern!"

"Uh......" After a short period of speechlessness, Lilan said with a smile: "You mean to say that I was salvaged by you from the bottom of the sea, and then I will be your ...... Your ......" Looking at the Zero fighter in the little girl's hand, Lelan suddenly felt a little ridiculous - when did he fall to the same value as a toy?

"Toys?"

"Uh-huh" seemed to be quite satisfied with Lilan's "enlightenment", the little girl stood on tiptoe and gently patted the top of Lilan's head who leaned over, as if stroking a pet dog: "Toy, new, northern"

“…… Huh"

―――――― Split ――――――

North - the self-proclaimed name of this little girl who looks less than 10 years old, whether from her appearance or vague words, Lilan does not think that this little girl who "salvaged" herself from the sea is an ordinary human little girl, and this is not the continent that Lilan wanted to reach before, but is still above the sea area where the ship's mother and the deep-sea habitat ship are confronted.

According to the northern description, it took her half a sunset to move him back here (it was a fluke that he didn't die while in a coma...... When he understood what the so-called "salvage" and "transportation" of Xiaobei were all about, Li Lan thought so), which is roughly equivalent to 12 hours.

And in 12 hours, no matter how far away he is from the outlying island town guard, it is impossible to directly cross to the distant mainland, and even now, he may still be in the garrison sea area of the outlying island town guard.

"Really...... It's terrible" (To be continued.) )
