Matou Shinji Returns from Infinite

Gorgeous enamel and superb craftsmanship.

Few people can recognize its essence at first sight.

Only be captivated by its artwork-like charm.

That's the sheath.

Gold scabbard.

Naturally catching it, Shen Er weighed it casually, held the slightly lighter end, and handed it to Misaya like chopsticks.

"—To tell you the truth, I am actually a man of action."

Chapter 06. So You Are My Merlin

This is a treasure belonging to the field of magic.

With just one glance, Misaya can be sure.

"The words of the goblin..."

Noticing the engraving on the sheath, she let out her surprise in a low voice.

Although this city is in a space of illusions, it doesn't mean that everything can be realized by illusions.

On the contrary, if human history is compared to a magic engraving, then it must be engraved on the surface of the planet, and the knowledge and essence contained in it need people to dig and explore, but now they have left the surface, and they have to hide in the planet to survive. imaginary space.

Like magic materials and precious mantra bodies, it can be said that one part is used and one part is less.

Misaya now somewhat believes that Shinji is a visitor from a parallel world.

Because of this level of treasures, even the Twelve Monarchs' families couldn't get them out.

But she is still skeptical that she can lift the curse on herself.

In the past eight years, she has also made many attempts.

How many times has it been like this, it seems that I have found hope, but in the end what I reap is aggravated despair.

The world has never had mercy on her.

It used to be like this.

It's the same now.

——It should be like this.

Shen Er's next words disturbed her heart.

"In the past, the great sage Merlin asked King Arthur which was more important, the invincible sword or the immortal scabbard. Arthur chose the former, and was severely criticized. It turns out that if King Arthur hadn't lost the sword If the scabbard is used, maybe history will be another result."

"Now you have to face the same choice."

Echoing the words, the spiral door opened again.

This time, Misaya reacted.

A sword is clearly seen, falling from it.

The pitch-black sword body lingers with a palpitating ominous aura.

It is the exact opposite of the style of the scabbard.

If the sheath is the sheath of the holy sword, the sword is the sword of magic.

The magic sword that fell from the door was pointed downwards and sank into the floor beside Shinji's feet.

But Shen Er didn't even look at it, his gaze fell straight on Misaya's pupils.

Not oppressive, just like measuring the value of things.

"—Which do you want, the sword of invincibility, or the scabbard of immortality?"

"..."

Heart is clenched.

It is also difficult to breathe.

Misaya could no longer keep her composure.

She also firmly believes that if any magician stands in her position, it is impossible to do better than her.

Not having a gaffe is already a mental victory.

Look at what this man has done.

King Arthur's lost scabbard, and... at least a magic sword's treasure.

It was so easy to take it out for her to choose.

Even if it's just a joke, it's too much.

However, if this scabbard is really the scabbard lost by King Arthur, the ultimate dress that can bring immortal life to the holder,

Then the curse on her would no longer be a problem.

But here is another option.

If the scabbard is fake, or an imitation.

If the effect is not enough to break the curse, then the magic sword that has been confirmed to be a superior treasure is a good choice.

With this treasure as a hole card, the success rate of competing for 'that' will be greatly increased.

Although nominally promised to hand over the loot, principle and life are two different things. If she chooses the magic sword, it means that if she does not violate the contract and take the loot all by herself, she will die under the curse.

Of course, you can also negotiate with Shinji afterwards.

but……

Misaya also has her own ambitions.

She doesn't just live to break the curse.

Curses are obstacles that must be crossed.

rather than the ultimate goal.

The same goes for the scabbard and magic sword in front of me.

It's just a prop.

No matter which one you choose, or even all of them.

are all at the same level.

Therefore, what is really important should be——

"If you say, I want the future?"

Can't laugh.

Even if it's a ridiculous answer.

When meeting Misaya's burgundy eyes, no one will be able to laugh.

"What do you mean?"

Shinji was slightly surprised.

The answer was not what he expected.

"No matter how real this blue sky is, it is still illusory, but it is not completely meaningless. Its existence proves the value of the real thing."

"The sword and the scabbard are very important, but I was the only one who was saved in the end. Compared to this dying world, it was just one more dying ant."

"But if you're willing to help, it makes all the difference."

"Sweep away the disasters of the outside world, let human beings return to their homeland, and let me become the ruler of the new era."

"At that time, the prerequisites for the question and answer of the sword and the scabbard will be considered true."

"Before that, I was not qualified to answer your question."

Misaya's words made Shinji fall into deep thought.

Shen Er found that he still underestimated the possibility of this woman.

In terms of temperament and personality, there is a shadow of Skadi.

And experience, talent and appearance are more like Tohsaka Rin.

But none of them would say such a thing.

"Why did you come to be king? And not me?"

Shinji asked curiously.

"Didn't you say that you are just passing by for a rest, and you are not interested in 'things lingering on the planet'? Or, do you want to try standing on the top of the planet to see the scenery? It doesn't matter if you have that ability, but if you don't, just Don't blame me for raising the anti-flag."

At the end, Mei Saye couldn't help but draw a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.

It's like melting an iceberg.

Very short beautiful scenery.

"It's really impossible to underestimate others casually by you, but the curse on your body has not been removed. Don't you think it's too early to talk about the future now?"

Shinji looked at her playfully.

"If you don't want me to die, of course I won't die."

No complacency.

No irony, no threat.

Misaya was simply stating a fact.

"I'm really reluctant to let you die. It's hard to find capable and smart errands these days. Besides, I still have things that I need you to do."

Shen Er was outspoken.

Suddenly, he stood up from the sofa.

Walk towards Misaya.
