CH.21 The End of the Journey

【Here...... Where is it?] What Zero saw seemed to be the roof of a train. top.

There is no touch, there is no movement, and the feeling of having a body is gone again.

[It's changed back to a pocket watch, probably] somehow, Zero suddenly has a feeling of nostalgia for his current state.

How has it been since Ai Xue, and the others? How long has it been since then?] Zero can't tell when he's asleep, because the power of the moon timepiece can only provide information about the hours, minutes, and seconds.

Judging from the current situation, the school trip is probably not over yet, otherwise I wouldn't be on this train.

Somebody's coming.

"I didn't expect them to meet such a guy, a level 7 Earth Demon Bear. I've never seen a high-level magical beast in the wild. "A girl's voice, as if heard somewhere.

"Didn't you also see that so many powerful guys were beaten so badly, I really don't know how they survived. Luckily, I didn't let you go deeper, otherwise we would have met the bear first. The current level of the bottle is not enough for a level 7 demonic beast to stuff between the teeth. The owner of the boy's voice seemed to sigh. It's a familiar sound, I've definitely seen it, but I just can't remember it.

"Well, if you win, I won't bother with you. Come, take a look at our loot. ”

Zero realizes that he has been grabbed by a small hand reaching out.

"It's a small clock, I know how to read it. Well, it's half past six, so it seems to be pretty accurate. The sun had just set, and ah, I was so tired from the afternoon. ”

[Shuma?!] This violent woman gave Zero a very deep impression, and when Shuma was reading, Zero also saw the other party's face clearly.

"You, who have not carried a single person, are the least qualified to say this......" Musa said weakly.

"Don't say that, our efforts have paid off in return. I've never seen such a fine timepiece, so it's probably the latest experiment in the workshop. This is a divine guide!"

"......" Musha was speechless again. As the descendants of St. Peter, the descendants of the excellent paladin bloodline, the two were originally able to go to the Empire's Demon Martial Academy to study martial arts. However, this sister of mine has an inexplicable obsession with mechanical things, and finally chose Kohlers Academy. Whenever he sees a novel machine, Shuma will be excited for a while and try his best to study it. However, her careful process in machinery can really subvert the perception of her character by all acquaintances.

"Anyway, it's mine, this afternoon was really not in vain, compared to the level 7 earth crystal nucleus, this thing is more valuable. ”

[It looks like it's the same day] Zero learned the general situation from the conversation between the two.

"Hey, you two. Zero was now desperate to know the specific situation and did not remain silent.

"Who's talking?" Shuma looked around and saw that there was no one else in the carriage.

"It's me, in your hands. ”

"Magic items, isn't that right!" Shuma was puzzled for a moment, and then threw Zero out of professional vigilance. There was a clang, this was the sound of the moon and the collision with the iron carriage.

Unlike the uninformed Essier, Shuma is well aware that enchanted objects do not speak words that reflect self-consciousness so strongly.

"You can't be some evil spirit sealed in a clock. "The appearance of the antique silver provides favorable evidence for Shuma's judgment, as silver utensils often have exorcist powers.

"......" is replaced by zero speechless.

"Oops, this kind of precision machinery is usually very unbroken, it can't just break like that. The suddenly enlightened mechanical enthusiast girl began to be extremely annoyed by her reckless behavior, and rushed over to pick up the moon timepiece that had fallen to the ground, and she forgot all about evil spirits.

"It's good that it's not bad, but is this really silver, unexpectedly strong. "Ordinary silver utensils are bound to be damaged when they collide with steel, but there is no such problem with the moon timepiece.

"How's the other guys' injuries?" Zero asked briefly, after gathering his thoughts.

"Except for the one named Ai Xue, the others shouldn't have much of a problem. Shuma thought for a moment and made sure he hadn't misremembered someone's name.

"What the hell is going on!" Zero began to get anxious after hearing Ai Xue's name.

"Uh, that-"

"I'll tell you. Musha took Shuma's words, believing that the machine spirits that would care about others could not be sealed evil spirits.

"And it came to pass that when we were in the forest, we suddenly saw a flaming bird that was not in very good condition, and Shuma thought it was wild and was going to catch it, but he followed him all the way and found Leonard and them, and there were three people lying on the ground, all of whom seemed to be seriously injured. There were many corpses of bear-like demonic beasts next to them, including a level 7 earth demon bear, presumably they had also experienced a bitter battle. Thanks to that flaming bird, we were able to find them. Then we drove them back with us as much as we could, no, we had just settled them down. Originally, Lelia wanted to give us that level 7 magic crystal as a thank you gift. However, Shuma has taken a fancy to you. Now they are all in treatment and should be fully recovered after a while. Don't worry too much about that person named Ai Xue, it's just that your mental power is overdrawn. If you lie down like this for a few days, you will probably wake up, after all, there are no external injuries. ”

"I was really shocked to see her covered in blood. Shuma interjected.

[It's the blood of those grizzly bears] Hearing this, Zero finally put his mind at ease.

[It's just that I didn't expect to be sold.] Lelia must not know that I am Zero, in the eyes of others, I should be just a small clock that is more weird, and the others are not looking for me everywhere] Zero thought to herself.

"Can you give it back to Ai Xue?" asked weakly, after all, she was weak now, and no matter what Shuma did, she would not be able to fight back.

"No!" Shuma's reaction was exactly what Zero had thought.

"Alright then, I'll follow you for the time being. Don't expose the secret of my ability to speak to anyone else, okay?" Zero had to compromise, and it would be better to wait for Ai Xuehui to talk about it. When the time comes, Ai Xue will be able to reuse the summoning magic, and she should be able to reappear in human form.

The next day, Zero was retaken into the forest by Shuma, and they did not return to the train until the end of the school trip.

It is said that Leonard and the others are already able to move around, but they have not been seen. Ai Xue still seems to be asleep, but it is said that her complexion is much better.

None of the students seemed to be missing or dead on the trip, and many of the students began to complain in the car, talking about things that were not as thrilling as they had imagined.

[Mental overdraft...... It seems that the power to control time is still too much of a burden for Ai Xue] Zero kept thinking about himself and Ai Xue's future along the way.

[Ai Xue's appearance in the world of time delay is too abnormal, amazing coordination and self-learning ability, these should not belong to a girl with super magician qualifications. From the clumsy swinging technique at the beginning, to the last sharp attack that is comparable to the level of a level 2 assassin, this growth rate is absolutely extraordinary! After losing consciousness, Ai Xue was accused of something? Or is it really acting by ......instinct as he guessed] There are too many mysteries on Ai Xue's body, parents with unknown backgrounds, an inconspicuous knife with a power comparable to an artifact, a masked woman who found Ai Xue alone, special magical qualifications, and the ability to manipulate time related to herself......

[Moon timepiece, what kind of thing are you......] The immortal body is the endowment of the temporal attribute of eternity, and it is reasonable to explain the absolute perverted defense of zero in the girl's form. And is time really something that can be controlled? It may be a realm that even the gods can hardly set foot in...... Zero asked himself about this.
