[Comprehensive] BE saves the world

It's like the deepest night in winter, like the moonlight looking into the distance under the sea of ​​ice, like a black bird skimming through the depths of the silent thick fog, just staring at it can make people feel ominously beautiful.Like a manifestation of the concept of "death" itself, the girl in a mourning black gothic dress floated silently.

On her hanging arms were densely covered with dark red and dark brown scars, the most striking of which were three fresh wounds. Scarlet blood slowly slid down her snow-white arms and fell into the boundless Endless sea of ​​tears.

"I am Tokitsuki Funo, the sentinel of the third floor." The girl said, "You don't have to pay too much attention to me, Lord El-Melloi II. I'm just a projection of her guilt, it's her A symbol of self-condemnation. You don't have to understand me, I'm here because she needs me."

"I see." El-Melloi II responded briefly, but he didn't relax his vigilance because of her words.

The so-called maze of mental images is the embodiment of the complex inner world of human beings. The deeper you dive, the more you go down, the more dangerous and unpredictable it is.

Having reached the last level of the maze of mind images, it can almost be said that he has reached the most secret place in Frederica's heart.

Those who can appear here will definitely not be simple characters.

Or it should be said that it is precisely because of being here that the sentinel that is closest to the master of the mental image will appear.

As if he could see his defense from his expression, Tokitsuki Kazuno shook his head, his pupils that were more lonely than the night slowly lowered.

"...You are like a pilot." She said suddenly.

"what?"

Obviously, even the sovereign, El-Melloi II, was bewildered by the girl's leaping stroke.Fortunately, Tokitsuki Funo did not laugh at his confusion, but just explained it lightly.

"You are the pilot who met the little prince." Pointing her slender fingers at him, the girl said her conclusion, "It's like the pilot saw his innocence in the little prince through the painting of the boa constrictor devouring the elephant." Similarly, you also saw your past self in that child. Is it very similar? Obviously everything is in vain, but you are still the one running forward desperately, and obviously everything will come to nothing, but you are still the one who stubbornly stretches out his hand , It will hurt many people, but you still can't give up that path... How many times have you seen her? Your past self. That's why you want to protect her so much."

El Mello II did not deny it.

Or rather, he couldn't deny it.

At the beginning, what attracted him was indeed the firm and strong back, just like a certain king, who did not hesitate to fight against all nations for his own wishes, the pure white girl who trampled on the natural rules , it was so dazzling that he couldn't take his eyes off her.

However, he really wanted to protect her only after he understood her truth.

Don't overestimate yourself.A third-rate magician like him would actually want to protect someone.

That person, she is so weak, so incompetent, so clumsy, so overconfident, so self-righteous, so negative and gloomy, sometimes, she can even be called despicable.

Too weak to accept the true self, too incompetent to do what must be done, and too clumsy to take care of myself.

It's already like this, but she still wants to shoulder the burden that she can't afford. She thinks that she can realize the ambition that human beings can't achieve. .He even curled up despicably, covered his ears and closed his eyes, thinking that he could escape his sins by doing so.

...Like, the former Weber Velvet.

That's why he wanted to protect her so much.

That's why he had to pull her out of this maze of mental images.

"But you also know that the little prince will not stay on the planet that belongs to the pilot." The girl named Funo Tokitsuki said as if she had seen through his thoughts, "Will the little prince want to stay on the planet after all?" Back to his 'rose', even if he asked the pilot to draw him a sheep in a cardboard box, he was worried that the sheep would eat the rose. Even if there are five thousand of the same roses on this planet, even He also knows that his rose is not very special, and the little prince will return to Rose in the end... You understand this truth very well, right?"

"Ah, I understand."

El-Melloi II closed his eyes.

Of course he understands.

No matter how much love and tenderness he gave this child, she would not stay for him.

Even though everything she once owned is so ordinary on this planet, just like the roses owned by the little prince are no different from the five thousand roses on the earth, her former home, her former love, They are nothing but ordinary scenery that can be found everywhere on this planet.

In the past years, in the other five missions that he didn't participate in, it's not that she didn't have other family ties, it's not that she didn't have the same friendship, it's not that she didn't have something that she wouldn't even have in the original world like.

But she still threw it all away.

Just like the little prince in a fairy tale, he has tamed foxes, he has traveled through countless planets, and he has watched the pictures he drew for his children in the arms of pilots...but he finally chose to return to his own planet.

Of course he understands.

but……

"Please step aside, ma'am." El-Melloi II opened his green pupils, and met Funono's gaze with sharp eyes, "I must take that stupid student out first."

So what if you lose it in the end?

The pilot knew from the very beginning that he could not keep the little prince, nor could he go to his little planet to watch the sunset 43 times with the little prince.

Because of this, do you feel that it is better not to know each other?Because of this, do you think it is better to give up here?

no.

He never regretted participating in the Fourth Holy Grail War, never regretted meeting that king.

So he will never regret stepping into this maze, and he will never regret continuing to go down.

She is his student.It's the person he wants to protect.It is the people who need his help.

Just knowing these is enough.Just knowing this is enough to go on.

"I understand." Tokitsuki Kazuno nodded, his voice was no longer as cold as death, "Then, let me help you."

After that, she raised her arms, and her fingertips deeply grabbed into the wound on her forearm, tearing open the wound that had just stopped bleeding.

“[My pain, burn the world——]”

Accompanied by these words, the crimson blood surged out again, like hot molten steel, it burned violently as soon as it landed on the sea, the blazing flame met the ocean of tears, for some reason, it was as if it had touched oil, and there was a loud bang. The explosion was fierce, and it quickly turned into a boundless sea of ​​flames. Waves of heat rushed to El-Melloi II's face, almost scorching the ends of his hair.

In the middle of the raging fire, the queen of flames looked down at him, finally showing a look of a living person on her face.

"Please save her," she said.

At her feet, in the center of the sea of ​​flames, in the center of the vortex of flames, a black eye slowly opened.

——The channel is open.
