An endless grassland appeared in front of meadows, and a green carpet spread from under his feet to the other side of the border.

On the undulating hills, in the center of the world, there was a large tree curving above the dark green grass, which 'stood' alone in the middle of the plain, like a lonely watchman.

The leaves swayed in the breeze, and the fallen leaves seemed to be looking for their home, fluttering and then gently settling under the trees, quietly waiting to be decomposed.

This is what it means to return to the roots, they are nurtured by the tree, and then absorbed by the tree, returning to the original and original place.

People are always moving forward, but when they can't help but look back, they may find that they are still standing still, and then they need to take serious steps towards the road called the future.

However, not everyone can take a thing seriously, and there are only a few people who can truly move towards the future.

Why? That, of course, is because misfortunes are not divided equally, but gather somewhere, waiting for those who absorb them to pass, and then they will be devoured.

Therefore, no matter when people have to fight, only by fighting can there be survival, and only by fighting can there be a future.

Once you take it lightly and are negligent, it may lead to all your hard work being in vain, and in the end you will end up with a dream of Nanke.

But misfortune and happiness are the same, the cost is the same, there is not much difference between the two, all this, in addition to the so-called fate, will also depend on oneself.

Fight? Or give up?

If you can. A lot of people will choose to give up. That's the easiest way to do it. It is also a practice of not having to endure trials.

There are always ups and downs in life that is always running, and the only chance to stop is maybe the few minutes after a big battle.

Staring at the blue sky and white clouds, this place is like Saber's ideal town, full of dreamy colors.

There is no smell of gunsmoke, no threat of war, and only the smell of flowers, grass, and appetizing cuisine in the nose.

Where are the people cooking? Judging by the taste, it should be a clear porridge with red beans and sugar. The simple food is actually quite delicious.

Looking around, Natsume waved his left arm, which had returned, and the original pain and wounds had all disappeared, and it was as if he was in a dream.

Ignoring what the hell this world was, Natsume simply lay relaxed on the grass, the gentle sunlight blocked by the green leaves of the only large tree, leaving only pleasant shade.

The ground behind it seems to be very soft, and the body seems to be gradually engulfed by the earth, entering the arms of 'Mother Earth'.

Went through those worlds, spent those times. Got those memories and stayed. It's just a lot of tiredness and nostalgia for the past.

But Natsume is just nostalgic, he's not the kind of person who is nostalgic for the past, and Natsume is more inclined to something called 'future' than the past.

The tip of their noses seemed to be touched by a fairy, the mischievous wind elves played with their faces and arms, the sunlight became their lights, and Natsume became the stage for the hilariousness.

Now, will you feel happy? Or will you feel happy in the future?

Fighting all the way is nothing more than pursuing what has been lost, the traverser is such a creature, no matter how he opens a harem, no matter how crazy he is, he will finally realize that everything he does may be to find something, explore something, and then work hard and fight for it.

The question was asked by a girl sitting on the trunk of a large tree, her long black hair like silk, her porcelain-like arms and her doll-like cheeks, giving the impression that she could only be seen, but not touched.

Yes, like a work of art, fragile and beautiful.

"In the eyes of others, most of the efforts are in vain, after all, the final result has been determined by fate, for this, Natsume-sensei, what do you think you need?"

"The spirit of rebellion against fate? No kidding, I don't have that kind of thing, and I'd rather have a place to rest than pursue that. ”

Let his fate or something, he will only move forward at his own pace, and all the things that want to affect him will be eliminated.

So that's enough, Natsume said with her hands under her head and in a slightly lazy but firm tone

"Enough, let me rest alone for a while, obviously the battle is over, why are you still here, stupid girl."

"People are here because they're worried about Mr. Natsume, isn't it too much to be so cold to others? I'll leave it to someone else. ”

With that, the fairy girl, who jumped lightly from the trunk of the tree, knelt down on the side of Natsume's head, and then lifted Natsume's hair and put it on her knees.

"Qiang Qiang, the knee pillow of a beautiful girl, and because I didn't wear knee stockings, it's a skin-to-skin blind date."

Don't just fabricate the facts, Natsume waved his hand to deny, but this feeling is surprisingly good.

It was so close that Natsume could clearly hear the recorded breathing and feel her body temperature.

Lu claims to be a monster, but he has breathing and body temperature, aren't these representatives of humanity?

If she wants to become a human, then she only needs to change the world where she uses her abilities and live quietly in an ordinary world.

You may be able to do it yourself.

Natsume has already won, slain the enemy, defeated the victory he went to, and is neither a great man nor a hero, just a selfish idiot who wants to return to the world he likes.

Therefore, Natsume thinks that he can fulfill Lu's wish, what privileges he has obtained, what rewards he has received, these are not explained, but Natsume can feel it.

Everything in this world, everything in this space, can be felt by yourself.

"People think it's good now, and Mr. Natsume has given them a reason and factor to exist. So I'm already very happy. ”

Happiness - that's the word again. How many times have you heard this? How many times did it bounce? It's like a never-ending topic. What ends in the east will rise again in the west.

It's just that being able to hear this sentence makes Natsume feel a lot more relieved.

She felt happiness, and as an ordinary human being, was it really just a reason to be given a reason to exist?

Or rather-

"Natsume-sensei, do you know what it means to be our helper?"

"That's the one who allows the traverser to better complete the mission and provide limited assistance in times of crisis."

"Absolutely. But that's just the dead word; Our helpers do not exist from the beginning, but are created according to the gender and state of the traveler when they appear. ”

Not living beings or living beings, but things, non-human things, as Lu calls himself.

"You mean ......"

"Yes, our existence is given by the traverser, not simply by giving reasons, but by the whole personality, the whole body. Including everything, it is something that the traverser has given us. ”

Pick up her long black hair. Her crystalline pupils glowed with an incredible brilliance.

Natsume looked at her face on the laplow of the record, because the angle was a little strange, so it looked like the record was pondering and hesitating, obviously smiling, why did it feel this way?

She speaks in a very small voice, not as big as before, and her lively and active personality is completely restrained at this moment, like a deep boudoir eldest lady.

Using his right hand, he gently picked up Natsume's right hand and moved it to his chest.

The soft object is pinched by Natsume, and the reassuring touch spreads from the fingertips to the whole body, and the charm unique to a developing girl is clear at this moment.

Half of the raised peak was held by Natsume, but he didn't have any strange thoughts, but he had some understanding of Lu's actions.

"Can you touch it? Can you feel it? People, there is no heartbeat. ”

It's something, so there's no heart.

Can a thing without a heart understand happiness and human feelings? Recording her, do you really understand your actions?

Human beings are all things that are created, and then they are born to pursue their own value, and perhaps the same is true of Lu, but it is too perfectly created, so it has a flaw.

She is actually very intelligent and knows everything about human beings, but she can't apply it, she can't apply it, and at the same time, she can't apply it.

Just as a delicate instrument has one of its circuits destroyed by a mosquito's carcass, the rest of the parts may all strike.

There was something broken in her, but she didn't stop her work, and she still assisted Natsume.

"Lu is not a human.,I've already told Natsume-sensei about this.,It's better to say,Lu isn't even a monster.,It's just a thing.,It's more appropriate to use props; But getting along with Natsume-sensei is quite interesting.,Knowing that my feelings and thoughts may be virtual.,But people can't stop.,Want to talk.,Want to smile.,And,Want to continue to be together.。 ”

Employing a flat tone, telling his thoughts.

"People don't quite understand the happiness of human beings, and they don't quite understand the happiness that Natsume-sensei thinks, but if you are in a time where you can laugh at any time and suffer at any time, you are happy."

“…… Such an explanation may be good. ”

"It's just a pity that people only smile, but don't cry, and the theory of happiness is still a little rusty."

Happy, theoretical.

Is there such a thing as happiness that can be explained and elaborated theoretically?

If it really could, then everyone in the world would know about the so-called happiness.

But in fact, there is no theorem for this kind of thing, let alone a formula, and the only thing that should be different opinions of different people.

Happiness could not be summed up, but Natsume did not say these words, but withdrew his right hand and placed it on his chest.

"The theory of happiness may be correct, but its existence has nothing to do with whether you have a heartbeat or not, as long as you understand it and feel it."

"Do you feel it?"

"yes, how do you feel now?"

"People think they're very happy, and even though they always cause trouble for Natsume-sensei and do a lot of strange things, I think it's safe to stay by Natsume-sensei's side now. I obviously hate Natsume-sensei. ”

"Why?"

"Because Natsume-sensei likes to be a maverick. Not good at listening to other people's wishes. Isn't it? You even denied your own wishes. ”

It was just--the last resort.

Time's up.

Lu laughed again, stroking Natsume's forehead with his hand.

"The mission is over, so it's time to disappear."

"Not yet."

"It's over, Natsume-sensei has won this game, and the task of the people is to make Natsume win."

As he said this, every part of his body, hair, and arms began to dissipate.

Like the leaves and grass floating nearby, they scattered in the air.

Natsume felt the weight of the hand on his forehead decrease. Is that really the case? Lu sees himself as a prop, and a prop that has lost its function has no meaning of existence.

Pointing to the tip of his nose, Natsume laughed as well.

"Stupid, can you see what's on the tip of my nose?"

"Huh? I can't see anything. ”

"Come closer."

"If Natsume-sensei asks for it......"

Leuk bends down and leans his head close to Natsume, observing the tip of Natsume's nose.

"It didn't ...... Not? ”

Natsume stretched out her hands and grabbed the neck of the disappearing Lu, wrapped it around it, and then pressed her head down and moved her body up. Tilt your head.

Lips to lips for the simplest and quickest light kiss.

The temperature of each other is good, too. Whether it is the breath or not, it is transmitted at that moment.

His eyes widened, and he didn't know Natsume's move.

But—

The vanishing stopped.

The body that was about to turn into a particle of light began to take on a substance.

Then, Natsume got up, leaned over, and placed his left ear on Record's chest.

"Heartbeat, now it's there."

"Natsume-sensei?"

"I have this ability, so you don't have to disappear."

"But the frame of the Apocalypse."

"That kind of thing is good for anything."

Natsume stood up, straightened up, and looked into the distance.

"Sometimes people's rebellious period will be extended, you are indeed a fool, but you are a fool who is not annoying, so ......"

Bend down and reach out your hand.

"It's time to go back."

“……”

Adore rubs his eyes with both hands.

Maybe it's tears, maybe it's dirt, and the slender shoulders tremble.

The final answer was.

"Yes!"

The palms of the hands pressed tightly together, and the two of them heard the voices of the others.

It was a figure standing on a hill not far away.

"Hurry up human, I'm hungry."

"Where are you going now? Master？ ”

Isn't there only one place to go back? There is only one decision for the winner.

But the way to go back Natsume is not very clear, as I said before, there are countless world lines in the universe and plane, so how to find these world lines?

How can you be sure that the world line is the right one, and it is the world you want to go to?

Even with the ability to control matters, Natsume can't teleport at will like the Frame of Revelation, which may be a good thing that the Frame of Revelation did on purpose.

The reason why a god is a god is because a god can do things that humans can't, and through this, Natsume realized that that interpretation was somewhat wrong.

The gods should be able to do what humans expect most.

They are not great beings, but rather aggregates of desires, and only such an explanation can prove the state of affairs at this moment.

Even if the victory is won, the battle is not over.

Even if he becomes a king, the road has not yet been opened.

Different worlds have different stories, which is why a time-traveler like Natsume is needed.

After all, what is the real purpose of the frame of revelation?

Want to break through this box and become someone outside the box? No, Natsume didn't want to waste that energy, even if it was a world in a box, as long as he expected this outcome, why not?

And as Record said, the Frame of Revelation is also afraid of the emergence of beings with higher authority than it.

After that, find an opportunity to destroy the so-called 'rack of revelation,' whether it's a person or a thing. There will always be a way to beat it.

So. Is it what 'it means' for itself? Can the frame of the Apocalypse interfere only with the 'created world' and not with the 'created world'?

But in this way, it doesn't make sense, how does the traverser who came here interfere with the original world where the traverser is located.

That's the 'world of creation.'"

No, no, being able to summon a traverser means-

Is it a created being?

It could be a supporting character in the story, or it could be a trick in a scene. That's what it means to be created.

It's a very ironic statement.

After struggling for so long, is there only a fate waiting to be arranged in the end?

However, there is a solution.

Since you are created, then you just have to create the world again, the world of the world within the world.

That's what it means that human beings have infinite possibilities.

Kazuru walked forward, hearing these words on the way.

"I forgot to tell you Natsume-sensei."

"What's the matter?"

"The Frame of Revelation is the reward for the victors."

"What is it? It can't be money and women. ”

"No, it's not."

Record points to the door directly in front of Saber and C.C.

"That's what Natsume-sensei expected, the world."

Catch up with the knight girl and the witch in front of you, and then walk in.

This door of light is like cutting two planes, dividing the world into two distinct parts.

Light and heat overlap each other. The girl's hand was reassuring, and the steps did not stop. It's about moving forward.

In the journey, the similar existence of the traverser often suffers from all kinds of difficulties and tragedies that are different, but it should be called a trial, and only after that trial will you get what you can really get.

Who is the person who has fought side by side with him until now?

Who are the people who will go with you into the future?

And the people who are constantly fleeing and constantly counterattacking?

Who is the person who is in the same world as himself and looks up at a blue sky?

There are all kinds of completely different people in the world, and the changes in the world line are like guessing big and small on a game console, which cannot be determined, but can be improvised.

Whenever you are in a strange world, you can be the first to think about your identity, existence, and ability, which are the capital to live.

Infinite horror, infinite battles, infinite traversal, endless journeys always come to an end.

Until that day comes, there is only arms to fight and fight.

So Natsume, who came to this world and was in this world, was ready to work hard again.

But it failed.

Natsume's preparation doesn't work after the exercise, this is neither a place of battle nor a city of death, but an ordinary living room.

Sofas are arranged around a large round table, luxurious glass chandeliers hanging overhead, and windows adorned with stained glass, below which there are many different doors.

I sat down on the sofa, but there were four people squeezed on this three-person sofa.

C.C. and Saber.

Although he didn't quite understand what was going on now, and couldn't figure out the final face of the Apocalypse Shelf, Natsume relaxed and drank the black tea on the glass round table.

Holding the black tea in both hands, the white mist did not match the scorching sun outside, but the taste was first-class.

Natsume let out a breath and was about to put down the teacup and ask where it was, when an explosion sounded outside the main gate.

Bang!

Thinking it was a battle, Natsume clenched his fists and looked at the door, a huge motorcycle directly smashed through the gate, and after landing on the ground, it moved to the side, and the next moment, the electromagnetic cannon mixed with thunder and lightning shattered the tiles on the track.

"Huh?"

The person sitting in the car is the rain flow of Mimi, and the person who fires the electromagnetic cannon naturally does not have to think about it.

The girl who ruffled her hair with her hand and launched the coin stepped in, and the 'sister' who followed her was covered in dirt, as if she had just fought.

Then, the person who fell from the sky, Huiyuan, who raised the corner of his eye, also descended here.

Is this the world you want?

Characters from the world he had experienced were still pouring into the room, and the hall that had only four people was filled in an instant.

The noise, the sound of wrangling, and the sound of beatings came and went, and the fact that the girls were gathered here made the situation even more chaotic.

"Hey! Natsume! Look at this grenade, it's inferior anyway! ”

"I don't know anything like that, Miss Rainflow."

"Do you want another fight?"

"Please put the coins away!"

"My dear...... You haven't been home lately, and you've been dressed in a place I don't know, and I'm the only one who can see you dressed. ”

"Don't put it all. Naked said to be an orthodox outfit! ”

"Human, hungry."

"Be quiet, C.C., I'll make you pizza later."

"Then Master, please replenish my mana! Just two people! ”

"That sounds weird!"

"Brother Natsume? I've had a good fight with Bina recently! ”

"Don't hug me yet! Thank you.,And Kurumi and Yakuya don't quarrel with me.,As for Yuno-san.,Amano-san seems to be outside.,Don't move that first.,Don't run around over there.,I don't know where this is! ”

It's chaotic, incredibly chaotic.

Besides, the fact that they are together is a strange sight in itself.

On the other side, he sat very quietly on the sofa with a smile.

"Lu, what the hell is this yours?"

"No, it's the killing service provided by the Apocalypse Rack, didn't Natsume-sensei see the words written on the door?"

"What's that?"

"[Crystal Palace], [Crystal Palace], there are thirty days in a month, and there are less than thirty people here, Mr. Natsume still has time to rest~"

"What do you think of me?"

"By sex. A hero who wants to live? ”

"That pervert."

"Congratulations, you're right!"

"This is not a question and answer!"

"You can choose to ask your uncle and grandfather outside the court."

"Trivia?"

The employing hand fiddles with the tea bag inside the black tea cup.

"Isn't that what Natsume-sensei really wants? If they were here, they wouldn't have encountered misfortune and danger, and saving some people is part of them, and the idea of being Natsume-sensei is quite good, of course. ”

Lu pointed to the other doors in the hall.

"Once you open those doors, you can get the right to make another wish through the mission."

"Fighting alone? Sure enough, it's the same again. ”

No, no, no.

Recorded shook his head in the negative.

"I'm going with everyone here."

"What?"

"Everyone who appears here will act with Natsume-sensei, that's the rule."

Wouldn't that be world domination?

Natsume looked at the noisy girls around her, and the clear sky outside the door was very pleasant by the midsummer sun.

Outside the destroyed gate is an ordinary-looking city and forest.

It's a world too, and whether it's what he's expecting or not, Natsume feels very relieved.

If you have to fight.

Natsume sat down on the couch.

"Until then, take a break with them."

"Very well, I'll go prepare dozens of beds."

"Didn't you misunderstand something?"

Not hearing an answer, Natsume waved his hand helplessly.

The story of the traverser continues, and it is not the brave and heroic selves who do what they have to do as always.

Now, think about how to escape from this space that is being watched by young girls, and then find a way to the future. (To be continued......)
