"Hmm. Hitt thought for a moment, and when he looked up, his eyes narrowed, slightly dissatisfied, "Why do I think you're dragging me into the water?"

The Plantagenet chuckled.

This was the first time these people had heard such a subtle laugh from the goldfinch.

It seems to look down on her, but there is something "convinced of you".

"I just don't want anyone to waste any more time on something like that, and it's easy to get into Wells' 'dead end' along that line of thinking. The Plantageng walked over to a chair and sat down, speaking casually.

Hitt raised an eyebrow.

What kind of dead end is this?

"What do you think is the way to get rid of the theory of talent? At the very basic level, do you really understand what the theory of talent is?"

To question something, at least to be familiar with the thing itself.

“...... The basic theory is based on race and bloodline, although each race has the ability to use magic, but because of the relationship between talents, each has its own level and cannot be transferred. Hitt narrowed his eyes and pursed his lips, "If you want to get rid of it, you naturally have to start with race and blood...... But ......"

She didn't really want to go on — she couldn't.

This seemed unlikely to Hit.

How can we change our races and talents? This thing is innate!

But he was worried that he would be looked down upon by the Plantage, so he didn't say anything.

"Well, that's unlikely, because that thing is innate. Goldfinch said.

...... "Your sister, I knew she said that......

"So, the focus of the research is on how to obtain power beyond the limits of talent - absorbing pulses is almost the standard answer. "There won't be any results in this regard." ”

"But you look like ...... Don't you really look up to this?" Hitter twitched.

"Of course, because if you can't find someone stronger than yourself, it's not interesting to use the absorption vein, but since you are stronger than yourself, the possibility of using the absorption pulse is not high. "So, it's not interesting." ”

Sounds really impressive.

"According to what you say - Wells is a 'miracle' because of the improvement in the goal, and Hester because of the improvement in the tooling......" Primo said at this point, "and what about Celis?"

"......," Goldfinch was silent, "why do you think that the cause of a miracle is to change the underlying theory?" ”

"Guess. ”

"......," Gorinch coughed, a little speechless, "certainly something more creative than the two." ”

It was Shure's turn to chuckle—

He knew that the goldfinch was suspected of boasting, but ......

Either way, he'll feel like it's true.

【②】

"Why did Teresa suddenly think to say this to Hit?" Shure asked her as she took the Plantagenet by the hand as she left the lab.

...... It seems that now I am consciously holding hands and leaving.

Although the height difference is somewhat ......

Ah, forget it, that's not the point.

The goldfinch looked up, thought for a moment, and said, "I just want to try it—can those things really be studied again?" ”

Shul raised an eyebrow.

"I can't do everything on my own, and I don't know if I still have that motivation. The Golden Finch said softly.

Shure stopped abruptly, looking at her with a hint of worry in his eyes.

Power——

When she didn't want to do research anymore, chose to stop, or felt tired-

"Shure, I never survived the ideals of being a normal person. "I just want to make the people who have to pay the price pay - I never care what life is, even if you think it's bitter, it's full of beauty, and it doesn't mean anything to me." ”

Reckless, so I don't care about anything other than the purpose.

will also "die" after success.

Shul frowned.

"Cyris's miracle comes from herself. "You wouldn't have done this without fear of death." ”

"Teresa ......"

"All the research I was able to do was over, and there wasn't anything I could do. The goldfinch couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Why did she suddenly talk about it?

Isn't this a clear telling Shuer, "Anyway, I should die after I achieve my goal, so there's no point in following me like this, leave me quickly?"

She knew it would be like this.

But I don't know why, at this time, there is a pain in my heart that I have never felt before.

Bursts and bursts.

Clearly......

"Teresa—will you abandon me?" said Shure suddenly.

She was stunned and subconsciously shook her head: "How could it be-"

Suddenly paused.

Shul seemed serious—asking such questions very consciously, not impulsively.

If the goldfinch has only one purpose to survive, is there a person in that purpose?

He cares about that, but he knows it well – it's probably not.

"I ......"

"I want Teresa to be able to do what she wants to do. Shure interrupted her, as if suddenly "understood," "So...... I will help you and will always be with you. ”

......

It feels conflicted.

Knowing that she may not change her purpose because of him, and knowing her existence, it is very likely that she will not stay because of him.

So why......

"Really...... There's no way. Shuer slowly squatted down and said softly, "In the end, I really can't ...... Never mind. ”

Boom.

Suddenly the goldfinch felt a tingling pain spread from his chest—as if from ...... The part of the heart?

What a strange pain.

The boy had a smiling face, but he felt ...... Immensely sad.

She still can't seem to understand these emotions?

My previous self still knew the so-called emotional things, because ......

But after that it's hard.

Almost ......

What's wrong with her.

"I ...... It's just casual talk. Anyway...... I've lived for a few more decades, isn't it, maybe there's another ...... Decades yet. The Plantagenet muttered.

The expression was in a trance.

Shuer smiled, stood up, and pulled her into the distance: "Why, it's dangerous now, isn't it—if you don't go over, it's too late now." ”

How did he turn out to be comforting himself?

The goldfinch felt a little dazed.

But I still couldn't come back to my senses for a long time.

......

【③】

A place of transit.

“...... Zigrin is back?"

This is what has been talked about lately, and even the "high-level" of the transit place is no exception.

"Compared to this...... Cyris's guy ...... too."

"Is it okay to let her go like this, she will do whatever it takes for the sake of the end, and she is still by the side of the Holy Dragon......

"It's hard to say—there's nothing that the Holy Dragon can't change. ”

"To achieve the miracle of Sirise, it must be so, want to change...... I'm afraid ......"
