5. "Heart"
"Mom, I'm back!"
Although she was puzzled by Asma, it was an indisputable fact that she could be chosen, so Lilith was still very happy and wanted to show herself in front of her mother. ββοΌ.23β₯wx.
But......
"Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't see anything. β
After standing there and staring at Pandora for a second, Lilith immediately turned and closed the door.
Just...... As for why Pandora pinched her mother's chin, she still pretended not to see it. How can this kind of shameful thing that cannot be spread out...... How can you talk nonsense?
It wasn't until there was a sound of permission from inside the house that Lilith dared to push the door open again with a little reassurance, but it always felt that Pandora's vision was a little harsh......
Absolutely.
"It's so early to come back. Pandora smiled as always, "What just happened?"
"Ahhh β
Lilith, who knew that she was wrong, could only cover her eyes, after all, it was the good thing she had just disturbed others.
"Hey, the great opportunity is gone. β
Pandora sighed as she slowly paced the door, Lilith remembered that she rarely disturbed her mother and daughters as long as she and her sisters were around.
From this point of view, although no one knows what Pandora is thinking in her heart, maybe she is unexpectedly a good guy.
"I heard from Cecia that you were chosen. β
The Night Witch had no intention of concealing Cecia's intentions, "If, you can answer." Sue sΓΉ me. The Holy Maiden Ashmudeus. Is that one of the nodes in history that you want to change?"
"Well, it should be. β
Lilith nodded, Ashmill, the difference between Ashmill and the real her at this time is too big, Lilith always feels that this is not only a historical node, but also. I'm afraid it's still the most important part of whether I can return to the original world.
"I won't say more, because it's certainly not allowed, but mother, Cecia, why do you plan to be the saint's assistant like me?"
"That's because she volunteered to go. β
The Night Witch's eyes unconsciously avoided Lilith, "I have no reason to force her, Cecia, she has always relied on her own ideas. β
β......β
Autonomous conscious action...... Seemingly. Now the part about history will be even more ambiguous.
If it was your mother's idea. Maybe you can also ask if this is what she planned to do in the first place, or if it was a change made because of herself. But if it had been Cecia's own idea, I'm afraid she wouldn't have said it even if she pried her mouth open.
There is a big difference between whether Cecia intended to enter the church herself, or whether she did so because of her own influence.
"But do you really think about it? Because once you enter the church, you can't just come out as casually as you do now. "That is, we may ......"
I may have to separate, of course I know this, but there is nothing I can do.
Although this place is very beautiful, I have also gained family affection and met my mother, but, after all, this place is history, in this time, there is already another self of existence, and now standing here is superfluous.
What's more, what I want to know more is why I came to the past inexplicably, whether I was maliciously sent over, or whether I came to the past voluntarily with some purpose. I don't have any memory of how I got here, so I'm afraid I've forgotten something important.
So......
"Well, I've thought about it, I have to go. β
Lilith nodded, "So Mom, this time we have to say goodbye again." But how about a rare opportunity to throw me a farewell party?"
......
At Villard's home, everything he can think of is available, so it's not difficult to hold a farewell party even if it's impromptu to throw a farewell party. Because Verard's home was here, she didn't look so sad, and she was probably thinking about sneaking into the church in her little head right now.
However, in contrast, "I" had just learned the news that I was leaving, and I had already begun to follow behind me with tears in my eyes. As for the other sisters, although they knew that they were unhappy because their sister was too close to them, they also made sincere blessings.
Sure enough, this is really a harbor where I can shelter from the wind, although now, it is time for me to sail, how can the ship stay in the dock and not go to sea?
"Okay, okay, don't cry, when you finish crying, the snacks will be snatched up by the sisters. β
Lilith touched her head while comforting "herself" who was still tugging at the corner of her skirt. Not to mention snatching it up, no sister will reach out to the table before "herself" has chosen a favorite piece of snack.
In contrast, Loki is going to look a little heartless.
"Ah, little one, go all the way. Loki beckoned as she spoke, and then pretended to be crying, covering her face with her sleeve, but it seemed to Lilith that she was snickering.
"I'm going to miss you. β
"Don't at least have a memorial service? Also, don't grab things with your hands! What about your etiquette?"
"The church is a good place, although I don't like it very much. β
Loki said, "Anyway, if you've had enough with the Holy Maiden, you can go to my place and have fun." β
"I don't go where I don't see the sun all day. β
Lilith muttered, but this is probably a special way for Loki to say goodbye.
It doesn't feel bad, after all, she's a demon king, with a prominent personality, and it's not strange to be weird at all.
In the end, "myself" was still tugging at Lilith's skirt, and the sisters who were really hungry began to choose snacks one after another, although "myself" may not want to let this farewell begin, but it still can't be avoided.
Then, all I can do is to comfort her as much as possible.
"Aren't you happy, sister?"
Holding the hand of "himself", the two are the same, but should not be in the same time and space, and raise their heads together to look up at the night sky.
Tonight, the sky is full of stars, and I guess today is also a festive day for Frey. In the sky, Lilith can vaguely find the constellations that were born because of Frey's obsession.
Frey was alone, but, at least on this night, no, in the days to come, there would be many friends with her. If I give myself another chance, I will definitely say this to the dean on the first day of enrollment and when I meet the dean.
β...... Why did my sister leave?"
Maybe it's because I'm infected by the night sky, and "I" has unconsciously let go of my hand, "Do you feel uncomfortable at home?"
"No, no, it doesn't feel bad at all, sister, I really like to stay here. β
This question must be denied, because it is not enough to coax at all, on the contrary, it will make "yourself" feel sad.
How can this place like your own haven make yourself uncomfortable?
"However, my sister also has something to do, you see, even if it is a mother, isn't there a time when she is not at home? β
A lie can only be hidden under good intentions in order to convince a naΓ―ve person that it is true for Frey, and it is true for "herself".
I'm sorry, myself, I'm afraid this promise will be the same as the one made with Frey, and it will never be fulfilled.
"Well, I'll keep waiting. "Sister, I'm going to learn magic from my mother tomorrow, and I'll be shocked when my sister comes back." β
...... It's all said, so it's not going to be scared anymore......
"Well, I'll look forward to that day. β
Even so, Lilith was still reluctant to reveal this beautiful wish of "herself", and at this moment, as if something in the depths of her memory had been excavated, Lilith suddenly remembered something
That's right, it seems to be what I heard when I was just learning magic.
It was that figure and her words that gave her an almost infinite motivation to learn magic, and even later, because of her own obstacles, she couldn't make progress in magic, and she never said to give up.
It turns out that the black-haired figure is himself.
"Lilith, sister believes in you. As long as you have a 'heart', no matter what kind of magic it is, it will bloom in your hands. β
Lilith turned around and hugged "herself" tightly, her childhood self was like a flower that had just bloomed, and she had to be protected, but she could not be kept in the greenhouse forever.
It has to go through the wind and the sun, otherwise, it will not be where it is now.
"Don't give up, Lilith...... Surely one day, you will be like your sister. β
(Well, here is a burying of the pit at the beginning of the whole book, so how can I have such a thing as forgetting to bury a pit.) (To be continued......)
