[Comprehensive] Selective hearing can not afford to hurt

Tsunayoshi Sawada seemed to have been punched by someone, and his expression looked a little weird.

"Do you like...the crepes over there? Would you like to buy one and try it?"

It turned out to be food.Lan Zhi felt relieved, but for some reason, she seemed to be in a worse mood: "No, I was full just now... Do you want to eat?"

"No, it's not..." Tsunayoshi Zetian waved his hands in a panic. Seeing that Lan Zhi's eyes seemed to stay on one point, he couldn't help following her eyes, "What... are you looking at?"

"That wig."

"Fake..." Tsunayoshi Sawada suddenly felt a bit of a stomachache. He carefully looked at the goods in the window, and really couldn't see why that thing could attract her attention, "This wig...isn't for women, right? ?” Why did she suddenly become interested in this kind of thing? Could it be that she suddenly fell in love with cosplay?

Compared with Sawada Tsunayoshi's entanglement, Lanzhi just stared at the window without realizing it.

"Not long ago, I saw Tsuna Yoshi-kun from the future. He turned out to be blond-haired and blue-eyed. I almost couldn't recognize him."

"……Eh?"

"In the beginning, he concealed his identity and made me treat him like a stranger... At that time, I wondered if he deliberately put on contact lenses and a golden wig to prevent me from recognizing him, and used such a crappy way to lie to me?"

"I..." Tsunayoshi Sawada's eyes widened in astonishment, and he couldn't believe what he just heard.He felt that there must be some misunderstanding, and her bad guess made his heart "thump".

Before he could tell the difference for herself, she turned around suddenly, and taking advantage of the height difference of less than 1cm, she grabbed a tuft of hair on his forehead.

Sawada Tsunayoshi: "...Eh? =口="

"So at that time, like now, I grabbed the golden thing." She covered her eyes with long eyelashes, and suddenly smiled sideways, "It turned out to be real."

"..." Tsunayoshi Sawada hesitated to speak.He vaguely felt that something was wrong with Lan Zhi today, and he panicked, but he couldn't find a way to deal with it, let alone tell the difference.

Lan Zhi did not let him go.

"Just a little bit like this, the future Tsunayoshi-kun will no longer pretend not to know me... Then, if I try this again, you won't use the unfamiliar title of 'Bangzhi-san' to separate me from you anymore limit?"

As if she was half joking, she disregarded the boy's shocking and astonished expression, and gently uttered the second half of the sentence,

"Even if you don't want Junior Kyoko to misunderstand you, you don't have to hide from me like this. Even if I try to find a reason not to be sad, I will still be sad after a long time."

"No, no! It's not what you think!" Tsunayoshi Sawada suddenly retorted loudly, tightly grasping the hand hanging by her side, "It's not because of Ms. Kyoko at all! I didn't treat her— I just, just because—”

He still couldn't tell the truth after all.

When he was eager to explain, Lan Zhi suddenly changed his face and looked to the right in panic.

Her gaze seemed to be cast on an unknown point in the distance, disbelieving and fearful.

"How is it possible...he actually came...?"

"Lan...?"

He couldn't help holding her hand tightly, but he didn't expect her to turn around at this moment and glance at him sharply.

Sawada Tsunayoshi was shocked, he opened his lips, suddenly felt a pain in the back of his neck, and immediately fell unconscious.

Lanzhi gritted her teeth and supported Tsunayoshi Sawada who was knocked unconscious by her, helped him into the mall, asked the shopping guide lady for a makeup box, and put on makeup for him with a trembling right hand.After finishing, she still felt uneasy, bought sunglasses and a wig for him to wear, and stopped until she couldn't even recognize herself.

The shopping guide had been watching her behavior curiously, and she covered her mouth and smiled secretly, not knowing how she understood it.

Lan Zhi took a deep breath and forced herself to settle down.

"My friend is drunk, I'm joking with him, please don't wake him up."

Reluctantly giving an explanation, she finished paying and left the mall in a hurry.

Getting on the tram bound for the suburbs of Shinjuku, Lanzhi grabbed his arm violently, as if this would relieve the chill on his body,

"Jack Besarius..."

Why... why did he come to this world?

Although she had already returned to her body, the keen perception of the crisis as a vampire seemed to be left behind. At that moment just now, she could clearly perceive the reality of "Jack came to this world".

Even if she knows that even if she returns to this world, there is a possibility of crossing again, but she still has a little luck, but now...

Lan Zhi bit her lip.

There's nothing worse than meeting that Heroic Spirit again.

She stared at the rapidly receding scenery outside the window, counted the time in her mind, and finally got off at the station adjacent to the suburb.

Running into the sparsely populated hunting forest, she looked desperate; but she stopped quickly and drew out her dagger cautiously.

Directly in front of him, a tall and handsome medieval youth stood there quietly with a smile on his thin lips.

"Jack Besarius..." She narrowed her eyes to hide the panic in her eyes, "What exactly do you want?"

The blond-haired young man withdrew his smile slightly, and there was a layer of worry in the eyes that never left her face: "r (Master), are you... are you afraid of me?"

Seeing Jack walking towards her suddenly, Lan Zhi's hand holding the dagger trembled slightly, but she tried her best to maintain calm, unwilling to show cowardice in front of the other party: "The Holy Grail War has ended long ago, and the contract between you and me has terminated." , and I don’t have a Command Seal..." She was about to say that she had nothing to do with him, but suddenly realized something was wrong, "...Who is your r now?"

To be active in this world, the heroic avatar must follow the laws of the world, sign a contract with mortals, and obtain magic power from the contractor (ie r).

Now she is not Jack's r, so, who is Jack's r?

"My r?" Jack approached her, met her forced eyes, and couldn't help but chuckle, "I have no other r except you... Lacey."

"Impossible!" Lan Zhi retorted immediately, but when she touched Jack's eyes, she suddenly felt creepy, "...How is this possible?!"

"Why is it impossible?" Jack's blue eyes are clear and soft, even people who have seen through his essence long ago will still have the illusion of spring breeze, "Thanks to this child—it's all thanks to Ozzy, his power is independent In this world, it frees me from restrictive rules."

He gently touched the scythe in his hand, and Lan Zhi's eyes fell on the scythe, his pupils froze slightly.

What is this... She actually seemed to "hear" the whine of the scythe? ...Are you kidding, this thing is obviously not even human...

However, the next second, Jack's words made her stunned.

"Stop trying to resist, Ozzy."

Lan Zhi looked at the sickle with a complicated expression.

If this weapon has self-awareness, is it possible that she...

"It's useless," Jack seemed to see through her mind, interrupting her fantasy indifferently, "Even if Ozzy wants to resist me, he can't do anything about it."

Lan Zhi couldn't help chewing on the meaning of his words, but Jack didn't give her time to think.

"Are you still running, Lacey?"

His voice was calm and gentle, and there was not even the slightest bit of force in his tone, but she still couldn't help but feel angry.

"Lacey? Did you really not find anything, Jack? I don't think you are such an arbitrary person. With your city and scheming, don't you see that I am not the Lacey you said?"

Jack looked at her in surprise, a trace of doubt appeared in his transparent blue eyes: "Lacey?"

Such unadulterated doubts made her even more angry.

"Don't you understand? I'm not Lacey! I will never be her! So what if I have the same origin? Even if I have the same face, what does it mean if I have a similar temperament? No one can replace anyone, and No one can be a copy of anyone! One or two of you...forcibly impose your hopes on others, is this fair to Lacey? Is it fair to me?"

Whether it is the core of Abyss or this Jack is really enough!

They are obviously two completely different individuals, why should they be tied together and disrupt her life?Should she replace the trace of Lacey's existence, or continue it?How unfair is this to her who was forced to bear the shackles of Lacey, and Lacey who was robbed of the shackles?

She was almost dazzled by anger, but Jack didn't react as aggressively as she did, and his answer surprised her even more.

"I know," Jack finally put away his summer-like dazzling smile, and he looked very indifferent without a smile. Unlike Bai Lan's coldness, his expressionless face was closer to the emptiness of nothing, " I knew it from the beginning."

"then you--"

"I'm very unhappy, Lacey." He clearly explained the identities of each other, but he still didn't change his words; he stared at her quietly, the bottomless vortex in his eyes, once surrounded by people, was enough to drown.

It seems to be looking at her, and it seems to be watching a fictional existence through her.

"It won't be any time soon..."

Before Lan Zhi understood the meaning of Jack's words, she suddenly felt a sharp sting and her eyes went dark.

Consciousness is briefly disconnected.When she regained her senses, she was surprised to find that she was in a strange black space, and the illusory feeling reappeared in her body again, just like the feeling she felt when her soul left the body several times before.

Wait, soul out of body?

Lan Zhi stared blankly at her palm which was 5% transparent.

Thinking of the short and sharp pain coming from the abdomen before losing consciousness, a ridiculous idea suddenly popped up in Lanzhi's mind.

Wait... Could it be that she...was stabbed in the kidney by Jack?

As soon as this frightening thought appeared, she felt only boundless bewilderment.

Could it be that she... is dead?

Shaking her dizzy head, a few fragments seemed to flash in her mind, but she couldn't see clearly.

Strange, is there something wrong... seems to have forgotten something important?

She covered her forehead, trying to recall what happened the moment before.But no matter how she thought about it, her memory stayed on Jack's last few words and the pain in her abdomen.

Did Jack kill her?

No, no, what reason did Jack have to kill her?Just because she wasn't Lacey, she sneered at him?

She fled before due to the influence of part of Lacey's memory, she thought that Jack was too scary and ran away, but even so, she never thought that the other party would stab her as soon as they met... at least give her a reason, right?Since he said 'I knew she wasn't Lacey', it shouldn't be because of this reason that he suddenly killed her.

Covering her left chest, she frowned uncomfortably—it was empty there, as if something important had been lost... But when she looked down, there was no empty piece there, but a blue gemstone strangely embedded in it. over there.

"What... what?" Was she dazzled?Or did you wear it to a sci-fi movie?What's going on with this weird and terrifying situation?

"Don't move, your soul was injured by Jack, that gem can temporarily strengthen your soul and protect you from the turbulence of time and space."

A somewhat familiar voice sounded from the foot, Lan Zhi lowered her head, and what she saw was a fat civet cat with a whole body yellow.

"Little..." Lan Zhi was taken aback for a moment, and the moment she met the civet cat's golden vertical pupils, a trace of confusion appeared in her half-opened eyes, which was quickly replaced by surprise, "Gangji!"

She happily picked up the cat and hugged it in her arms,

"It's great that you're okay!"

"As long as you're fine," the civet cat stretched out its fleshy paws, awkwardly wrapping them around her neck.Where she couldn't see it, its whiskers were slightly upturned, "It's the best..."

"But I..." Lan Zhi's mood became depressed, "Have I already..."

"No, it's okay, I will definitely let you be reborn!" Tanuki's tone was sonorous and firm, but it was like the softest spring breeze calming her down, "Go along this road, and the next world will definitely find you The way to recover!"

Endless trust poured into her consciousness, she nodded heavily, and walked towards the dark passage with the civet cat in her arms.

But halfway through the passage, a few blurred faces suddenly appeared in her mind.

Brown hair, brown eyes, orange flames.

Eye pupils dyed golden red, auxiliary lenses smudged blue, blonde hair tangled in hands...

I want to fold my hands and pass through the staggered fingers...

Her footsteps gradually stopped.

Looking down at the civet cat with its eye sockets in her arms, she seemed a little dazed.

"Gangji, are you getting shorter?"

"...Will Lan dislike me because of my height?"

"How come!" She hugged the cat tightly and stepped into the dark space, "I just feel..."

I just thought... what?

Unable to figure it out, she could only put the problem behind her.

##

At the end of the passage--

"Have you confirmed the personnel for the Second Holy Grail War?"

"Except for our three families, the rest of the mob can be found among the vulgar rogues, or they can slowly figure it out."

"Tell them the basic rules of the Holy Grail War, and pass the message on."

In 1866 AD, the shogunate building was about to collapse. Some people were anxious, some people couldn't sleep at night, and some people were high-spirited... However, the chaos in the outside world didn't bring any emotion to some people - they were a group of magicians who migrated from the West , They held a great secret in their hands.

Fuyuki City—no, it’s still just an unknown small village, belonging to the Nagato daimyo of the northernmost clan—in this small coastal village isolated from other areas by a mountain range, "sparsely populated" and "mountain spirits" "Shuixiu" provides convenience for those who are interested. A group of nobles called "Yu Sanjia" bought a large piece of land here, and held a very strange competition every few decades.

"Master Okita, Master Okita!" A boy with a combed hair was walking back and forth around the man in blue beside him, looking worried and anxious, "Master Okita, please rest for a while!"

"I'm fine, Tie, don't...cough cough...cough cough..."

The man in blue suddenly coughed heart-piercingly, his cold palm touched a mass of warmth, and when he put down his hand, it turned shockingly red.

"Lord Okita!" The boy grabbed the man's sleeve in horror, but the man signaled him to be calm.

"Hiding and hiding is not what samurai do. ​​Unknown Excellency in front of you, please come out." The man in blue said loudly, obviously sick and pale, but still like a peerless artifact, revealing a palpitating sharpness.

Compared with the gentle demeanor when he comforted the boy just now, he is a completely different person.

There was a low chuckle.

A young man with silver hair and red pupils and a soft face appeared from the shadow of the tree, and looked down at him with a smile: "Of course I'm not a warrior, I'm a magician... It's a pleasure to meet you, Mibu Wolf, Okita Souji. You too, listen Did you come from the rumor of the 'Holy Grail'?"

"Your Excellency is..." The eyes of the young man in blue moved slightly, and he calmly wiped away the blood stains on his face, revealing a handsome face.

"I am Sati Einzbern. I am here to give you a chance."

At the same moment, a western-style loft.

"No way... Hey! Come on! ——It's really summoned!!"

Looking at the familiar scene in front of her, Lan Zhi widened her eyes and hugged the civet cat tightly in her arms.

What's going on, this situation seems to be——

The red-haired young man stared at her in amazement, the cross lines in his eyes shrinking sharply.

"Kozart, what's the matter?!" The red wooden door was pushed open, and a very familiar blond young man broke in, looking at her also in surprise.

Lan Zhi took a step back numbly, and recited the lines in the dream as if instinctively.

"I am Abyss who came here in the name of archer, may I ask, are you my r?"

The young man named Kezat stood there in a daze, gasped suddenly, and grabbed the blond young man's hand: "Am I dreaming? Just pinch me!"

"This is not a dream, Kozart." He patted his best friend on the shoulder to calm down, and then asked with a solemn face, "This is not easy, first tell me what you did just now?"

"I just drew a picture according to the instructions in that book, and then said 'Guardian of Libra' casually, and she came out!"

"The guardian of the scales?" He repeated in doubt, and suddenly, the Vongola ring on the middle finger of his right hand burst out with intense orange light, forming dense and repeated magic circles in the void.

Facing this scene of deja vu, Cozat Simon's face turned ashen: "Too bad..."

This situation... clearly reproduced the situation where he summoned this girl a minute ago!

The eyes of those around him sank, and the moment they saw the person appearing out of nowhere in the magic circle, their originally calm faces were covered in shock.

A formation and a living person appeared out of thin air. It was impossible for him to show such an explicit expression with his unshakable mind.

What really exceeded his expected limit and made his mind go blank for a moment was the appearance of the man in the magic circle.

"This..." Cozat Simon almost took his eyes off the window, he looked up and down the second uninvited guest, and then turned his head to look at his best friend, "This person... this person's face is eight times like yours?!"

In the magic circle, the "uninvited guest" didn't seem to hear the two people's doubts at all. He saluted the two very politely and introduced himself unhurriedly, but his eyes fell on the left side, like a deep sea His eyes were fixed on that side: "I am Zetian who came in the name of rider, may I ask, are you my r?"

Sensing the gaze from the heroic rider spirit, Lan Zhi's eyes showed a trace of bewilderment.

In the next second, the heroic spirit who called himself Zetian turned his head slightly, his deep and fiery eyes moved away from her face, and fell sharply on the civet cat in her arms.

Lan Zhi made a sudden move, glared at the other party vigilantly, and tightly guarded the civet cat in his arms: "What do you want to do to my Gang Ji?"
