I had to save the world to support my family

"Although he is a very talented judge, but for some reason he just doesn't want to forge a knife."

"That's why Shizheng keeps sending some difficult fusangshen over, such as us."

"Before coming to Honmaru, you probably had some unpleasant experiences elsewhere?"

"Ah, and before... It seems that the master has done things like space-time jumping more than once or twice. Although it is dangerous, since it is your choice, I will not express my humble opinion-but please be sure next time Take me with you."

"Huh? Such a tone, did something happen before I knew it, Hasebe-kun?"

"You're overthinking. Master, do you want to continue? ——Okay. Then, I think Honmaru's swords all hold the same point of view: you value contracts and the obligations that come with them. Please forget what I said a few days ago. Impulsive nonsense. No matter how you look at it, you are quite a competent protagonist."

"...Hey, if you say something like a confession with such a serious expression, it should be said that your personality is very good at pleasing people. If this is the case, then I don't have any reservations anymore. My lord, whenever you want Hehe, always seem to put your own needs last - yes, of course it is a noble character, but you are not a martyr with a cross. Rather than waiting for your protection, we would like to be your barrier ...So, do you understand?"

"I told the master this a long time ago, so I don't need to repeat it."

"This kind of disgusting attitude is worthy of pressing Hasebe. Wait, does it have a sour smell, did the lord smell it-eh, didn't you? Well, it's probably just for me, jealousy Taste it."

"...candlestick cut!"

Novia stretched out her hand, and blocked the murderous sight that was glaring at the opponent wrapped in lightning.The background information exchange meeting suddenly turned into a confession contest. She watched the two Fu Sangshen snorted, then arrogantly turned her head away in different directions, and rubbed her temples involuntarily.

"Okay, let's stop here."

Having cleared her mind, she slowly retracted the relaxed thin smile on her face, pursed her lips and straightened her posture.

"Although I have thought that it is impossible to keep these things from you all the time, it seems too abrupt to tell them directly. Sanriyue and the others are not here, but now that the opportunity has come, I have no reason to continue to hide it."

Yato had been holding on to the puffer-kun doll that came with the set meal, and he didn't seem to be interested in Jinyin's mysterious past at all.At this time, seeing her ready to tell the whole story, she couldn't help but give a quick feed.

"Wait a minute, let me tell you! There are too many people here, aren't you afraid that an irrelevant person like me will hear—"

Novia shrugged, still followed his suggestion, pulled out the wand from the sleeve and closed her ears to listen.Seeing Yato's confused look of "it doesn't seem to be useful", he habitually reached out and patted him on the head as if stroking a puppy.

"It doesn't matter, it's not something shameful. As Hasebe said, I attach great importance to the contract, whether it is the party that issues the order or implements it. Why, doesn't Yato want to get to know me?"

The young man looked like he had a lump in his throat, and his face turned red.Stared at by those clear green eyes, it took a long time before Ai Ai whispered: "Hey, Jinyin, the artifact must respect the gods, you know."

"Well, what happened?"

"So, even if I do something a little too much in the eyes of outsiders, you can't be angry!"

"Excessive things... specifically?"

Yato brewed for a long time, cleared his throat with a candid and candid attitude, closed his eyes and confessed honestly.

"When the contract is concluded, as a god, I can see the memory of the artifact. So Jinyin's is also..."

"Does it still have such an effect? ​​Of course I am no exception. I won't be angry because of this kind of thing. After all, it is not your fault." Novia tapped the armrest of the chair with her index finger thoughtfully, remembering some Details, "'Memories of life'. Yato-kun, where is the part you saw broken?"

"Uh, let's just say it so bluntly, you won't suddenly think of the murderer's name, yell 'So it's you', and then go mad and turn into Sadako, right?!"

"...Ye Dou-kun, there must be a limit to making jokes."

"Ok, I see."

Under the threatening gaze of the two strikes of the sword, he quickly corrected his attitude, and Yato fell into the memory, and began to try to describe it stumblingly.

"In short, it's just an old man with a big beard. He looks very serious and a bit fierce, and his body is very strong. Ah, Jin Yin, you call him a teacher! He asked if you really decided, and you said yes ,then--"

"Start performing the spell, and then it was torn apart by the turbulent flow of space."

With two strikes of the sword, he subconsciously leaned forward, carefully examining the girl's smooth, fair face nervously.Sensing their worry, Novia smiled and brushed her long hair behind her ears as if nothing had happened.

"Okay, let me start from the beginning."

"When I was very young, I showed my talent in magic... Don't laugh, this is not boasting. In short, I completed my studies with excellent grades, and rejected the principal's invitation to stay in school to teach, with a high heart Arrogant and passionate, I wanted to challenge a difficult job to prove myself. At this time, I learned about [Chaldea].”

"Chaldea, the Human Security Organization, is a research institute and observatory that gathers researchers from various fields, regardless of magic and science, in order to enable human history to continue long and tenaciously. It is impossible to see the whole picture, and science alone cannot measure the whole world.”

"——This is a spy agency jointly established by all countries to prevent human extinction."

"Although all countries contribute funds, [-]% of Chaldea's funds are funded by the Magic Association in London - the Animsfia family. Fortunately, my potion teacher has a good relationship with the patriarch of that family. With his recommendation, I got a spot."

That's how it all started.

At that time, I was too naive, just blindly rejoicing and looking forward to it.

"As I said before, my talent is very good, and my grades are also good. I originally called a total of 48 candidates, but before all of them came, the director couldn't wait to announce the results."

No one can be more suitable than me.

So, "I got that chance."

Novia stared intently at the tabletop covered with food packages, and was silent for a while.

"Later, I often thought... Compared to me, maybe someone is more..."

As if being scalded by memories, she suppressed herself and breathed as silently as possible.The exclamation with unclear meaning was swept away lightly, like a dragonfly touching the surface of the lake with its tail, leaving no ripples after flying away.As if even she felt that this idea was too cowardly, the girl laughed at herself and shook her head.

"You have roughly guessed the rest of the matter. Because of my incompetence, the contractor who accompanied me along the way died in battle to protect me. The senior who has been taking care of me has also chosen to sacrifice his life in order to stop the enemy."

The atmosphere during the banquet was so solemn that the chest was heavy. Yato and Liang Zhen Daojian were sitting upright, and they had long since lost the intention of joking.

What should I say... Seeing that face that was always smiling was shrouded in clouds that could not be dispelled, I knew that she was trekking through thorns in the dark memories.The reason why I can talk so calmly is because I have cried too many times in places where others can't see.

[This is not your fault. 】

[Everyone has their own meaning, and everyone chooses the way to go.It's not about showing off, it's not about being remembered, we just... did it, that's all. 】

【Their purpose is by no means to be humane, so you don't have to be harsh on yourself. 】

But in the current scene, no matter how good the reasoning is, she would never listen to it.I guess it was the same as usual, neither agreed nor refuted, just smiled and said "I understand, thank you very much".

So they didn't interrupt, but quietly did their part as listeners.

"As for the old man Yato just mentioned, he is the teacher who taught me the second method, Kishua Zellich Shubein'ogu. The second method is about time and space, and can be observed through spells There are countless parallel worlds, and I can travel between the worlds at will. Of course, what I have learned is not one-tenth of a millionth of that of the teacher... and I am not interested in the so-called 'parallel world'."

"Different from the teacher's emphasis, what I want to master is not [Parallel World Jump], but [Time Travel]."

Novia glanced at the mosquito coils turning back and forth in Yedou's eyes, and slightly hooked the corner of her lower lip.

"It's not a complicated thing. The second method is originally a method that covers 'time and space'. It can cut off the time in a specific space from the 'time flow' of the outside world. The only thing that needs to be considered is the size of the enchantment and the strength of the magic power." . That is to say, as long as the calculation is done properly, it is theoretically easy to realize.”

Yato murmured, "But——"

"Well, failed."

Novia narrated the fatal accident in detail with a flat attitude of "Ah, there was a homework question last night, so I can't do it, it's really annoying".

"It is not magic that can be perfectly deduced from the principle. Although I did successfully leave the original time and space at the time, but the next second after I left, my body was 'corrected' by the huge friction force generated by the coordinate deviation. Specifically, What is commonly known as time-space turbulence... Now that I think about it, it is also some kind of self-protection measure for the world."

"Oh... Jin Yin, what you said before, 'being a dead spirit but still retaining a body', that's what you meant."

"Yes, I have indeed died once."

Novia looked down at her hands.The ten fingers are long and slender, the blue-purple blood vessels under the skin are functioning normally, and the pulse is beating lively.The death at that time was almost too fast to be engraved in the brain, which made her feel a little dazed every time she thought about it.

"As for this body, it was the teacher who went back to the past time and space and helped me 'fix' it. Ah, don't understand? Well, in short, it is still my body, and it is protected by the enchantment of the second law , will no longer be harmed by space-time turbulence."

Zellrich has a rather odd personality.He has many disciples, and he doesn't care about the death of one or two. In the Magic Association, becoming "Zelrich's disciple" and "being made useless" are almost synonymous.Compared with his accidental death due to studying the second method under his guidance, Novia was more surprised that he saved his life on a whim.

Perhaps because she has full confidence, she will keep jumping through time and space until she succeeds.

"Master," Hasebe resisted the urge to rush up to check whether her limbs were intact, clenched his hands on his knees into fists, "I seem to understand. Your teacher resurrected you, and you want to go back to the past Revive your companions, eh?"

"The place where they died was a bit special..."

As if finally knocked down by reality, Novia gave a wry smile on her face.

"It is a non-existent time and space created by the King of Magic, and it is perfectly protected by his treasure—in other words, at my level, I cannot use the second method to intervene there. My purpose is indeed to change their fate. , but we can only go back to before the start of the final battle and help them as a soldier, so as to avoid the worst outcome as much as possible.”

Recalling the horrific bloody wound on her back, it seemed that if it was deeper, it could cut the whole person into two ends. The corner of the eye that hit the knife twitched, with complex emotions intertwined with anger and sorrow, heartache and pity, and his voice trembled I opened my mouth.

"But no. You failed. You have suffered such a serious injury before, and you should understand that there is little hope."

Smiling and explaining to the frayed Candlestick, "It's not that exaggerated", Novia wiped off her sweat, and felt that she had finally explained the cause and effect clearly, and finally lay limply on the table, relaxing with relief.

"Oh, oh, I've known this kind of thing for a long time, and the more I try, the more I know."

She rubbed her cheek against her arm, and a few strands of black hair fell out, a little itchy.The green eyes narrowed, and he showed a flattering smile to the dignified two-strike sword: "But the probability is a multiplier, and the number of times is a multiplier. If you want to increase the product, the only thing you need to do is increase the number of times." Is there a way!"

The result she wants is hovering between 1 and 0.

Math cannot be calculated, magic cannot be involved, and luck cannot help.The only way is to keep trying until you succeed.

"Don't put on such a sad face, you guys. For me, this is something like the meaning of life?"
