Chapter 17: Finding a Way Forward in the Midst of Confusion and Confusion
"Let's keep you waiting!"
Shivering in the cold wind, at the end of the line, a female voice full of vitality sounded like a heavenly sound.
Since I don't have a clue for a while, Nagi simply gives up, sometimes relax, change your thinking, maybe the problem will be solved, and the primary goal of my coming out today is just to get the magic picture book!
The long queue finally began to move, and the people who had endured it for a long time in the harsh winter were silent, moving forward little by little like worms, because of deep fatigue, this time the signing did not even have a single dispute.
After waiting for about another hour, Nagi walked into the bookstore where the signing was stopped with a bear child in one hand, and then a vacant lot that was temporarily cleared out of the place, there was a square table painted with white paint, and on both sides of the table were piled up with magic books released this time, and behind the table sat a young man with squinted eyes - the protagonist of this signing event, the author of magic paintings under the pen name Furukawa.
"You can ask Furukawa-sensei a small question!
Standing at the door to direct order was the proprietress of the bookstore, a woman with short and neat hair, who tore her throat open, and made a loud voice that would make the heralds in the army ashamed.
"What questions do you want to ask?
Little Elizabeth took out a paper and notebook from her small satchel and handed them to Nagi.
"Isn't she illiterateβwell, you maid knows a lot. β
Derrick thought that no one had taught Nagi, who had been sent to the palace since he was a child, to read and write, but Nagi's instantaneous magic had already made Deric understand something.
Theoretically, no one had ever taught Nagi magic, so Darek could only attribute it to her mother's handiwork.
Regardless of the Empress XiΓ , who was lying on her own son's shot, Nagi was also stunned after taking the pen and paper, this should be a small activity for the bookstore to give back to customers like a colorful head, so what questions should be asked to Furukawa-sensei? Is it to ask the direction of the plot, or to ask questions about Furukawa-sensei's personal, such as birthdays and what he likes to do?
Nagi thought about it, and finally, with a try-and-see attitude, put the paper in the palm of her left hand and wrote a few words crookedly.
"I'm not interested in this thing, but I'm curious about what this guy named Furukawa is capable of!"
Derrick didn't plan to buy a book, but instead he became interested in the activity of asking questions, and went to buy a copy and waited to ask Furukawa a question, of course, in Nagi's opinion, Derrick, the bear child, clearly wanted to embarrass poor Furukawa-sensei.
"I'll come first!"
Among the three, little Elizabeth first volunteered and handed Furukawa the magic painting book in her arms.
"Well, excuse me, can I live like Sister Kasuga?"
Little Elizabeth asked Furukawa with an expectant smile.
Furukawa's book is mainly about a girl named Haruhi who has the magical ability to make her wishes come true, but she doesn't know it, but instead organizes a strange adventure team to find strange magic, the story of mysterious magical beasts.
Furukawa took the book from little Elizabeth's hand, skillfully signed the title page with a quill dipped in ink, and then replied with a smile:
"No, you can't. β
"Why?"
"Because Kasuga is a saint who is favored by the creator god, and she is a chosen one who is different from us~ Little guy, think about it with your head, if you are not a saint, can the guy who daydreams all day long survive in this world?"
Furukawa replied with a gentle smile on his face, pointing to his head, mercilessly breaking little Elizabeth's delusions.
"Then the next one. β
Returning the magic picture book to the hands of little Elizabeth with a disappointed face, Furukawa continued to say to the remaining two with a formulaic smile.
"This thing you painted is not recorded in the holy scriptures of the Holy See, so what is your intention in painting this book?"
Derrick hadn't read the serialization of the book in the magazine, he had just briefly flipped through the general outline of the book, but he asked a very poignant question, as a child of the royal family, Delrick's vision was naturally different from ordinary people.
"The holy scriptures don't say yes, but they don't say no. β
Furukawa squinted and replied lightly.
"Not really, I see that this guy in your book called Kasuga is as omnipotent as the creator god. β
Dyric spread his hands and shrugged at Furukawa.
"There is no contradiction that the saints are the communicators of the will of the creator God. β
Furukawa kept his smile and explained to Darik.
"But Kasuga is a commoner, how can she represent the will of the creator god in what she thinks? β
Dareek's big watery eyes suddenly flashed a sharp light like a falcon, as a ruler, he can be tolerant of his own people, but his supremacy will never tolerate others to point fingers.
"I think that it is not only the imperial power that is gifted, but also the human rights. β
Furukawa stood up, put his smile in front of Derrick, and gave his own answer.
"Next. β
Without waiting for Derrick to continue asking, Furukawa sat back down and said in an unquestioning tone, and Derrick didn't ask any more, he touched his chin and pondered the deep meaning of Furukawa's words.
"Aba. β
Nagi put the note she was holding tightly in her hand on the cover of the book and handed it to Furukawa.
"It's a privilege for people with disabilities like you to be able to read my books. β
Furukawa took the crumpled note handed by Nagi, and after scanning it casually, he raised his eyebrows and glanced at Nagi with interest.
"Interesting question. β
He scribbled a line of paper with a stroke of his pen, then clamped the note into the book and handed it back to Nagi.
"This is my personal opinion, you can refer to it, if you don't believe it, just take it as a very cold joke. Furukawa said to Nagi.
"Hmm. β
Nagi nodded, she pulled out the note from the book, and glanced at it casually.
"Aba. β
Nagi's gaze was fixed on the note, and then she felt her eyes moisten inexplicably.
Nagi's question is simple:
"Is Kasuga the embodiment of God? What is God?"
Furukawa's answer is also very simple:
"No, Kasuga is the embodiment of man, so why is God not man?"
"Nagi, what did you write? I feel like you're weird. β
Walking out of the bookstore in Maple Leaf Garden, little Elizabeth asked curiously.
"Aba~"
Nagi just smiled slightly, and casually summoned a ball of flame, burning the small note to ashes.
Well, in this world, it's not all people who don't understand themselves, are they? Nagi felt that her depressed mood had suddenly refreshed, and she raised her head and stretched out a big lazy waist towards the rising sun from the east.
Wait, did you forget something?
"Ahh
Due to the unexpectedly long time spent at the signing site, there is not much time left before the palace changes shifts, and after the shift, a maid will bring breakfast to the princess's bedroom at the top of the tower, if you find that it is empty...... Whatever you think about it, it's going to be over!
"Ouch, huh?"
Regardless of whether the two bear children were comfortable or not, Nagi scooped the two of them around his waist one by one, and then ran all the way in the direction of the palace under the surprised gaze of passers-by.
PS: The name of the chapter is inexplicably literary...... PS2: Next week, we will recommend it again, haha~ Thank you for your support, we will continue to work hard!
