It is "impossible".

The parents must have always regretted the birth of Walnut: no matter how much care and love they poured into this child, the result would only be to exacerbate the reluctance and pain of parting in the future.That being the case, why don't you just pretend that you have never given birth to her, so that you will suffer a second time in the future.

[But we know each other when we meet each other, and it is better not to see each other than to see each other. 】

There seems to be such a sad and mournful poem circulating in a foreign country.If it is only used to describe the tenderness between lovers, Hu Tao may be able to remain indifferent; but when he thinks that his parents' feelings for him may also be described as "seeing each other is worse than seeing each other", the whole person seems to be suspended in mid-air. Landing.

I don't know what warmth is, and I can't even set foot on the soil that gave birth to me.

Without the company of her elder brother Fuyuki, who is related to her blood, the young Walnut's heart must have been broken.

That's right, Fuyuki is always with her...

(……Eh?)

The childhood memories shrouded in a misty mist suddenly showed an inexplicable sense of disobedience.

(Fuyuki... has always been...)

But why does the image of the blond girl crying alone remain in my mind?

(Why, then I would be "the one"...)

The picture that has never dared to stop and look back until now becomes clearer as the girl's mind matures.

— Nuts, nuts!You are a walnut, right? !That's great, you've lost some weight, but you don't look too bad... Great, Nut, it's great that you're all right...

——Um, uh, may I ask if you are...

—Ah, I forgot to introduce myself.I am Fuyuki, Himisaka Fuyuki.It's your twin brother.Listen, Fuyuki and Kurumi sound very good together, right?

--Eh……?Do I have a brother?However, uncle and the others never mentioned it...

——What are you talking about, Hu Tao, of course you have a brother.I am your brother, and I will always be with you from now on.From now on, you don't need to be afraid of anything, no matter what happens, brother will definitely protect you!

——Well, I think the person who suddenly came to the door claiming to be my brother is more scary...

……

(...By the way. When I was a child... I was left alone in foster care with my relatives.)

(Then one day, Fuyuki, who was originally living with his parents, suddenly moved in on his own initiative, saying that he wanted to live with me...but why?)

It's unimaginable that a little boy with no hair at all will have the attributes of a sister-controlling stalker.

Hu Tao, a young girl who was trapped in loneliness and helplessness back then, almost without thinking, grasped the spider thread of "Himizaka Fuyuki" that fell into the abyss, but never thought about why the spider thread would hang in front of her in an unbiased manner.Even if I remember it occasionally, I just mention it in one go with the nonsense reason of "because Fuyuki is a sister-in-law".

Time flies, she even forgot the scene when she first met Fuyuki.

At the moment when the young boy slammed into the door with a suitcase in his hand, and met her eyes, Fuyuki looked at her sister's face almost greedily, which was very different from the baby's face, and then—he seemed to be relieved from the bottom of his heart. , slipped limply against the door panel and fell down.

He said, "You're fine."

Looking back, although the relatives were indifferent to Hu Tao, they did not intentionally abuse her.So, what exactly was Fuyuki's sigh "You're fine" at the beginning.

(Could it be...?! No, how can this be...)

『—Well, it’s that “could it be said” oh. 』

"Who?!"

Hu Tao, who was still wandering in the memory gap a second ago, turned over and sat up in an instant, and yelled loudly towards the empty church dome in front of him.

"What's the matter this time, miss? A nightmare?"

The spiritual Robin Hood immediately appeared to support Hu Tao's back, and hastily reached out to touch her forehead covered in cold sweat.

"No, it's not..."

While walnut straightened out her disordered breathing, she struggled to squeeze out the words from her throat.

"Just now, there was a voice in my head..."

『—Did it scare you?I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to surprise you. 』

"?!!"

"Miss?! Hey, are you okay, miss!"

"It's... nothing, the voice... rang again..."

Trapped by the erratic voices of strangers in her head, Hu Tao couldn't help clenching her fists and distorting her face.

"Huh? I didn't hear anything."

Archer didn't understand.

"What did you say..."

"Well, it seems that only Ms. Himisaka can hear my voice.Because the attribute you get from the hand of God is "connection", you can communicate by connecting each other's consciousness.I'm sorry, if I showed up in front of you, you would definitely attack me without saying a word, and I had no choice but to use this method to contact you...』

"If possible, I really hope you don't just invade other people's brains... So, you are the last mysterious Lancer or Lancer's Master? Going around in such a big circle, what do you want to say to me?"

Hu Tao raised his hand to hold Archer who was sitting on pins and needles beside him, raised his head and questioned the empty void.

"It doesn't matter who I am.Compared to this, Ms. Himisaka, you'd better go to Shibata Mamoru.Your only brother is in danger. 』

"... Fuyuki? Fuyuki, I stuffed it into the bedroom and put it in confinement...... Ah, could it be that guy sneaked away?!"

"exactly.For some reason Himisaka-san still doesn't understand, he seems to be planning to end Shibata alone, just like you who came to end Assassin alone.You siblings are amazingly similar in "carrying it all alone". 』

"I really don't understand what you mean. But since Fuyuki might break into the battlefield recklessly, I can't turn a blind eye... But before that, can you tell me who you are and why you know about me and Fuyuki ? Whether your real body is 'insignificant' is for me to judge, not you."

Walnut answered calmly, and his subordinates quickly tightened the bandages and adjusted the skirt of his clothes. While moving his joints, he tried to weigh the blade with his left hand to find the feel.

The ethereal voice with indistinguishable gender in his mind paused slightly, and after a few seconds of silence, he continued with a trace of helplessness:

"That's right, I should have explained to you first.Sorry, Miss Himisaka. 』

"It's good to understand. So, what are you?"

"—Enkidu.My name is Enkidu. 』
