[Magic Knight] Unscientific

Not long after Landis went on a trip, my good and devoted brother Shegato, who never left Princess Emino, probably felt that I was too lonely at home alone, so he moved home from the palace to stay with me For three days, I originally wanted to take Fuya with my brother to have a picnic on the hillside with four seasons of flowers outside the city, as an apology for forgetting to bring Fuya's love letter to Landis.It's a pity that the weather was not beautiful during those three days, the weather was always gloomy and drizzling, so Xie Jiatu insisted on staying with me in the house for three days.

For the past three days, my elder brother priest, who has always had a gentle smile on his face since he was sensible, would stand by the window as soon as he was free, looking at the drizzle outside the window with a preoccupied look, unable to hide his brows and eyes His sadness, at first glance, added a bit of color to his handsome face.

"Edlar, do you want to travel?" he asked me, his eyes still looking out of the window.

After thinking about the pastry shop Fuya and I run together, I shook my head, "I don't want to."

It was probably because I answered that he expected it, and when I refused, he didn't respond, but said to himself, "The sky is about to change in Sephiro."

I glanced at the drizzle outside the window, "Yeah, it's been raining for days and nights and it hasn't stopped. This situation is rare in Sefero." As I spoke, I suddenly felt a little cold, and I went to the fireplace again. Added a piece of wood, "Perhaps this time the pillars are coming to an end."

Xie Jiatu withdrew his gaze from the window, turned around and looked at me, "...Has the mentor come to look for you?"

I poured the boiling water into the teapot, "Old...cough, Gulev went to my pastry shop a week ago and bought a lot of pastries. He is so old that he is not afraid to eat so much all at once. Tooth decay."

"...Edlar, do you think Sephiro's strut system is correct?"

My hand that was pouring water trembled, and I always felt that this question seemed familiar. Thinking about it carefully, wasn’t it just what Landis asked me before he left half a year ago. Last time, my answer seemed to make Landis very unhappy, so this time I learned to be smart, and asked, "Brother, do you think the pillar system is correct?"

Xie Jiatu was silent for a while before saying, "As a priest, I recognize the pillar system."

I breathed a sigh of relief, spontaneously ignored the first half of the sentence [as a priest], poured a cup of black tea and handed it to Xie Jiatu, and said very comfortably, "I also think the pillar system is correct, For 40 years, I have been able to drink hot tea and eat soft pastries in such a leisurely way, thanks to the existence of the pillar system."

Now I can clearly recall [previous life] drinking rainwater when there was rain, drinking garbage water when there was no rain, wandering around the side of the garbage mountain day and night, killing more than a dozen children of the same age for a piece of moldy bread, ignoring the lives of others, using It is not an exaggeration to describe the 26 years as blood licking.

Although the environment is a bit poor and life is bad, the place where I grew up in my previous life has a beautiful name no less than that of Siphiro, the street where meteors fell, [Meteor Street].

Meteor Street is officially recorded as no man's land, a waste accumulation area with a history of 500 years and a population of 800 million.

Most people in Meteor Street live off garbage and other waste, and grow up in the midst of killing. The only person who values ​​and trusts the most is themselves, followed by their recognized companions.

Of course, the distance between [most] and [second] is much farther than in the literal sense.

I vaguely remember what a man who was hard to kill said before he died. At that time, the man looked at me and said with regret, [The people who come out of Meteor Street are either perverts or sick. ]

Then, he died, because his heart was crushed impatiently by the short fellow who was on the mission.

The scene of the minced meat and red juice exploding like firecrackers is still deeply imprinted in my mind.

It's really... Accidentally remembering superfluous things, those stubborn memories stuck in my mind, it's like a endless cycle of nightmares.

Hearing my answer, Xie Jiatu seemed a little astonished. He looked at me for a while with an expression similar to that of Landis after hearing my answer, and then said slowly, "...Even if this is based on sacrificing a on the basis of human happiness?"

I took a sip of the fragrant and warm black tea, and suddenly felt relaxed physically and mentally. "It is a person who is sacrificed, and the whole world is happy." Besides, I was honored as a princess in the temple after being offered delicious food. , I personally think she got far more than she sacrificed.

Xie Jiatu seemed to be in a daze, and said after a while, "Your history of Sifero is very good."

I thought he wanted to say that I had mastered the essence of the textbook very well, so I smiled, "I remember when Gulev went to the school in the town as a consultant, he said that among all the subjects, only Siferosh could handle me well." .”

On the third night, I handed over a basket of bread to my elder brother who was standing by the door ready to go, and asked him to take it to Princess Emino to express my gratitude to her for giving my elder brother three days off.

He took the bread, but did not leave immediately. Instead, he looked at me with meaningful eyes for a long time before saying, "Sefiro will undergo a great change."

I nodded and waited quietly for the next article.

He threw me a piece of dark blue gem with a golden edge, "...when the time comes, go to Landis."

I took the treasure jade, and after careful observation, I found that it was actually a protective jade that Gulev gave to my elder brother when he first became a priest, which can carry out a space transfer.

I looked up at him in a little surprise, and he was looking at me too.

"Edra, what would you do if you had something you really wanted?"

I thought for a while, "Buy it back."

"...what if it's something money can't buy?"

I almost blurted out, "Grab it back."

"...Take...back?" He repeated these words very hesitantly, but there was a gleam of light in his blue-purple eyes, which were exactly the same as his mother's, and he had the feeling of seeing the blue sky through the clouds and mists in a trance, "Even if there will be sacrifices ?”

In my mind, I reviewed the concept of happiness that the bearded teacher said and the words of a man who was a companion in the previous life, and I conceived a self-consciously positive answer, "If it is something that I really want, no matter what Whatever sacrifice you want to make, as long as you think the benefits you get outweigh the sacrifices you make, use all means to snatch it, and only if you snatch it can you be worthy of the sacrifice you made."

The fire in the fireplace made a "Ziz" sound, and Xie Jiatu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled. Since my brother became a priest, it was the first time I saw him smile so happily.

Probably because of the excellent genes of our parents, our three siblings are not bad in appearance, especially Segatu and Landis, who are similar in appearance, are quite similar to their mothers. , and a type that becomes more flavorful the more you look at it.At this time, the door of the house was half-closed, and his smile caused many girls passing by to bump into the pillars with ruddy complexions and fall down.

Thinking about it now, that was the penultimate time I saw Shegatu before the real catastrophe happened in Sephiro.

The last time I saw Xie Jiatu was a year later.

During this year, as Xiegatu said, great changes have taken place in Sifero, and unprecedented natural disasters such as torrential rain, hurricanes, and earthquakes have come to Sifero one after another.

The residents of Siphiro only saw monsters appearing in groups in the stories and legends, dominating the village and the people.

That day, the old Zhengtai Gulev and I were standing inside the door and the other outside the door. I was carrying a grocery basket and was going to go shopping. After all, even if the sky fell, we still had to eat.At that time, the old lady stood outside the door and looked at me with a look of compassion.

Due to various natural disasters, Fuya and I decided to close the pastry shop temporarily. I stayed in the house for seven days. On the evening of the seventh day, I found that there was not enough food, so I thought about going out to buy. Gulev stood in front of the door like a pillar.

"Long time no see, Teacher Gulev." I held up the corner of my skirt and gave a slightly unfamiliar salute, but I didn't intend to invite him into the house for a sit-down.

I haven't liked him very much ever since he refused to take me on as an apprentice 20 years ago.Because both brothers worshiped Gulev, only the fact that I was rejected did not make me less ridiculed.

"Only you can stop him, Edora." He looked at me and said such a sentence suddenly.

I looked at him silently, indicating that I understood but could not understand the hidden meaning in this sentence.

"Xiegato him..."

Before he finished his words, the ground shook, and a crack suddenly appeared on the ground. The surface layer kept shaking, and the gap between the cracks was getting bigger and bigger. I jumped to Gulev's side almost reflexively before the crack was fully enlarged. , let him wrap me up with magic and fly up into the air.

Looking down at the messy ground, I was heartbroken and surprised at the same time that the house that I bought for the convenience of visiting the two brothers and had lived in for more than ten years turned into ruins in an instant.

Although there have been reports of earthquakes and heavy rains this year, I deliberately lived near the palace for the convenience of going to work and visiting my brothers. The place should also maintain a peaceful posture all the time.But now that the earthquake is here, it means that things are serious.

"Xiegatu..."

Gulev sighed and looked towards the direction of the palace. Before I could react, he led me into the barrier of the palace.When I arrived at the main hall where Princess Emino lived, I was a little dizzy because I was not used to flying magic. I vaguely saw my brother Xie Jiatu in the dark iron armor surrounded by icy breath, hugging the unconscious Princess Eminor, the corpse that straddles the ground is coming towards me, or Gulev.

[Edra, what would you do if you had something you really wanted? ]

[…what if it’s something money can’t buy? ]

[...grab...back? ]

[Even if there will be sacrifices? ]

In an instant, I suddenly understood the meaning of those words that Xiegatu asked me a year ago.

Think carefully about my answer at that time, [If it is something you really want, no matter what kind of sacrifice you have to make, as long as you think the benefits you get outweigh the sacrifices, you should use all means to grab it. Only when you get it can you be worthy. The sacrifices caused], I suddenly felt dizzy.

"Do you think you can stop me by bringing her here, Mentor Gulev?"

That day, at that moment, my elder brother, Shegato's voice was colder than I had ever heard before.
