Poverty Alleviation Princess

"where did you go?"

Fujimaru Tachika put his hands on his hips, staring at Merlin who was always elusive recently as if he were a suspect.

Recently, she has been busy with training, and when she regained her senses today, she wanted to ask him some questions, only to realize that she hadn't seen him in the past few days.

Although I don't want to think badly about my companions, but Merlin's words...

This guy won't go there to cheat people again, will he?

As we all know, there will only be zero or countless times of online deception.Although there is no Internet here, the thing of 'cheat' has been around since ancient times.

"Oh, don't look at me so enthusiastically." Merlin said, but still had a trademark smile on his face. "I'm also shy...Okay, okay, I'll just say it."

Seeing the orange-haired girl clenched her fists, he quickly changed his words.

"I'm going to collect information. Think about it. That's a monster known as a goddess. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle, right? If you go there without preparation, if you fall into a trap or can't find a weak point, wouldn't you very dangerous?"

——Why do I feel that you are not such a considerate character?

It doesn't seem like you would do things like inquiring about information in advance.If it was normal, he would definitely watch them encounter various traps, go through everything, and never make a move until the last moment.

After all, he is the kind of person who would say, "All kinds of experiences are precious wealth in life. If you know everything in advance, then such a life would be boring."

Fujimaru Tachika narrowed her eyes: "Then did you get any useful news?"

"This is..."

"About this question, I'm also very curious, can you tell me too?"

A girl's voice cut in.

The two turned their heads, and saw His Highness the young castellan walking over with Madara Uchiha, beside them, there were Higurashi Kagome and Inuyasha who also looked at Tachika and Merlin seriously.

Merlin's expression remained unchanged: "Of course I will properly share the information I have."

Speaking of the goddess and monsters, I have to mention the most famous Japanese fairy tale "Kaguya Hime".

Although there are some slight differences due to different versions, in general it tells the story of a beautiful girl who came from the moon, was born in the bamboo, grew up in the world, and finally returned to the moon.

This story is so famous that even Ah Yuan, who is not Japanese, can immediately remember it after hearing it.

It's just that the stories circulating in this era are somewhat different from what Ah Yuan and the others know.

"In the story about the celestial girl here, in addition to the celestial maiden's feathers, there is also a city-like palace."

Merlin, who was sitting cross-legged in the middle, slowly talked about the news he had inquired around during this time.

"... a palace like a city?"

Everyone's attention was attracted by this news.

"Yes, a city." Merlin nodded affirmatively. "In the story, it is as big as a city. It can accommodate hundreds of people without being crowded. At the same time, it is also an extremely gorgeous palace, with carved beams and painted buildings, and colorful fallen leaves. , just like a fairyland - and the most amazing thing is that it is built on the lake."

"A city on a lake?"

"Yes, I haven't seen workers building it, and I haven't seen anyone transporting building materials. It's like a dream that suddenly appeared on the lake one day—so some people say it's not a building in this world. It's a 'Dream City'."

Kagome Higurashi asked: "Is there anything special about this city?"

Merlin spread his hands, and simply replied with three words: "I don't know."

"……do not know?"

"Yes, although there are legends about this palace, no one knows what it looks like inside—or the people who went in never came back. So although everyone knows that there is such a palace like a city, no one says Find out what it looks like and what it has.”

"...What, it's as if there is no information like this."

Inuyasha couldn't help but 'cut'.

Things like intelligence are only useful if they are put to use.

"I can't help it." Merlin didn't care about Inuyasha's impoliteness, he shrugged his shoulders lightly, "No one knows or no one knows, I can't help it."

"What about you? Have you ever heard of this?"

Inuyasha is not a serious character either. Seeing that there is no more news here, he turned his head to look at the middle-aged man who was leading the way.

Since he was the first person to get information about the celestial female monster, he should know better, right?

"This... This is the first time I've heard it."

The middle-aged man shook his head.

He just inquired about the place where the celestial girl monster was sealed, and he only knew some sporadic legends—for example, the celestial girl once took a bath in a hot spring, and then the man who saw it by accident took the sky feathers and left it in the world Such an eclectic story.

——After all, such a close-up, more down-to-earth story is more popular and easier to spread than the story of the unreachable goddess.

"You're kidding me, you don't even know about such an important thing, but you still dare to be a guide!?"

Inuyasha grabbed the middle-aged man's clothes, and his nails turned into claws.

"I, I'm just responsible for taking you to find the goddess. As for the rest of the matter, you should handle it yourself."

The middle-aged man was panicked at first, but when he thought that he was just doing things with money, he calmed down—that's what he was, but she was a goddess. How could it be safe to find a goddess?If you don't even have the ability to solve problems, then it is only natural to die in front of the goddess, right?

How can you blame him for inaccurate information?

"You're still quibbling!"

Inuyasha became even more angry, and his canine teeth bared out of his mouth because of anger.

"Inuyasha, sit down!"

Kagome hurriedly prevented the subsequent tragedy from happening.

He was right.

He is just a person who leads the way, and they must solve any problems they encounter by themselves.

——As long as it is not a trap.

Kagome rolled her eyes, and her sight fell on A Yuan who was still calm.

Seeing that His Royal Highness the City Lord is so sure of winning, there should be no problem.

As night fell, the roar of nocturnal beasts sounded in the distance, but the camp became quiet.

We are about to reach the place soon, and recharging our energy is more important than anything else.

But Tachika Fujimaru couldn't sleep.

She still cares about the 'palace as if from another world'.

"Is that palace the reason why we were left here?"

For example, it is the singularity hidden in the deepest part. If they don't solve it, they can't go back-after all, that sounds suspicious. 'From another world' is not equivalent to saying that it is a foreign object that should not exist in this world?

She sat beside Merlin and asked in a low voice.

"I can only say it may be one of the reasons, but not the main reason."

Merlin answered with vague answers as usual.

Li Xiang frowned and asked: "Then could it be a singularity?"

"Not yet."

"That's good...wait, now?" Li Xiang noticed that he used the word 'now'. "Could it become a singularity in the future?"

Could it be that the celestial monster possesses something like the Holy Grail?Or is it simply that the person who possesses the Holy Grail is sealed here after coming here, and once the seal is unsealed, this place will become a singularity?

"It's up to her to decide."

There was a rare lack of a smile on Merlin's face.

"Although to the world, personal power is only a drop in the ocean, and it is difficult to turn over the waves in the long river of time, but what can affect the world is the 'choice' of human beings." Merlin flipped his hand, and a pink flower fell It reached his palm, and then he pinned the little flower to the orange-haired girl's ear, "And we are standing on the edge of this 'choice'—you and I as supporting roles, just wait and see what happens." Bar."

"But..." After finally hearing the information about whether he could go back to Chaldea, Fujimaru Tachika was excited and wanted to stand up and say something, but felt an irresistible sleepiness emerged along with Huaxiang.

Even though she tried her best to resist, she still couldn't support her heavy eyelids and fell forward in a daze.

"Have a good dream."

Holding the girl into his arms, the half-succubus whispered with unknown intentions, then turned his head and looked at another carriage not far away.

In that more luxurious and more comfortable carriage lived the key figures of all events.

A quasi-god who lives in the world.

Ah Yuan was dreaming again.

It was still a familiar scene in modern society, but it was different from usual, this time she knew very well that she was dreaming now.

She looks at the familiar scene and the people in it like a bystander.

That was a long time ago, when she still hoped to have power, to be able to become a magical girl to save something by her own power.

At that time, a classmate with a good relationship with me was suffering from the curse.At first she didn't realize that it was a curse, until after a spring outing into the mountains, she witnessed this powerful enough curse in action.

Although she tried her best, she couldn't do anything except stay by her side and watch her avoid accidents. She could only call home for help.Then wait anxiously for rescue to arrive.

Although it happened a long time ago, I can still recall the fear and unwillingness at that time.

"Don't you think human beings are small?"

Someone stood beside her.

A Yuan didn't answer, the voice just continued on its own.

"I want to do everything, but I can't do anything. I can only lament my weakness and powerlessness time and time again."

"As long as one day is still a human being, one must experience these, fear, unwillingness, grief...human beings will never get rid of these."

The man stretched out his hand and pointed to the two girls hugging each other in front of him.

One was thin and weak, being eaten away by the curse behind him.

One tried to keep calm and comforted the other, but the panic and unwillingness could not be hidden in his eyes.

Why can't I do anything, why can't I be stronger

"Why can't it be stronger?"

The sound was getting closer and closer, and finally, it seemed to sound close to his ears.

"Obviously trying everything to become stronger, why did you stagnate here?"

Ah Yuan turned his head abruptly.

—and then she saw her own face.

The author has something to say: I shouldn't have turned on the game live.

Blood pressure soars, mentality explodes.

Really, what lol games to watch at a young age.
