--sorry.
--sorry Sorry sorry.
In the constant repetition of self-blame, even the reason for the apology has become blurred, but it has turned into the sediment of continuing to deny herself, and the girl has been floating in nothingness.
Originally, the girl would soon be attracted to nothingness, meaningless apologies, and even the form of her soul should disappear - the reason why the girl's consciousness still maintains the shape of the girl is because the Servant - the Pale Knight - has lost a lot of power.
Pale Rider), it uses its spiritual base to build a protective film around the girl, protecting her all the time.
However, the cornerstone of that servant's existence is only the girl's soul.
If her will completely disappears, the exchange of magic power through the command spell will also disappear, completely disappear.
The cavalry is not afraid of disappearing.
It does not have this form of self.
However, it is unknown whether it is based on the Servant's duties given by the Holy Grail or because it has maintained the dream world that Kotsubaki desired until now. Only the procedure of protecting the girl (Tsubaki Tsubaki) who is the Master has been clearly retained.
Come down.
The concept of death itself - the protective film built by the followers, looks like an egg symbolizing the birth of life.
Just floating in the sea of nothingness, in a few days, both the servant and Xiao Chun will disappear.
It was supposed to be like this...
Slight changes began to occur around the girl and the heroic spirit.
First of all, the earth was born in the ocean of nothingness where the world was not yet opened.
At first it's like mud, or like quicksand.
Soon after, it turned into soil, and the Servant's Egg wrapped in Xiaochun slowly fell to the ground.
What is different from the world created by the girl is that she is not the center of this world.
There is no light.
Neither Xiaochun nor the cavalry noticed the change yet.
The cavalry may have noticed this change, but it probably didn't build the self to notice the change.
How long has passed since then?
Far away from the two of them, the blue light began to flicker.
The lights swayed quietly, wandering in the darkness, and finally came to the egg where the girl and the cavalry were.
At this time, the Pale Knight finally reacted.
In order to protect the girl, it turned into a human form and blocked the light.
However, after looking at the light for a while, the cavalryman seemed to conclude that the light was not an enemy. It returned to the form surrounding Xiao Chun and stopped moving.
Although it was shaking incomprehensibly, the lights slowly turned on, and a slender cage formed around the egg.
At first glance, it looks like a cage used to hold criminals.
However, the light was neither malicious nor hostile, it just illuminated the girl warmly.
The ‘cage’ that gently wraps Miu Qiuchun——
It's like a cradle that heals a girl's wounds.
············
Snowfield Underground Facility, Alexandre Dumas' workshop.
Underneath the Snowfield Police Station, there is a tunnel leading to various facilities in the city center.
A little further, located twenty meters underground, is the workshop of Alexandre Dumas, a warlock affiliated with the police officer camp.
In addition to Dumas who was continuing some work deep in the room, there were also his master, Director Orlando Levy, and his subordinate Vera Levitt in the center of the room.
Facing the sad-looking director, Alexandre Dumas shouted happily from the depths of the room.
"The restaurant in Crystal Hill is very good. Heck, their meat dishes taste great because they are fried using clear fat scooped up from the surface of the soup stock."
"...I don't want to complain about your unauthorized going out. Binding you with a command spell will only reduce work efficiency."
"Oh man, you understand me better and better. Damn, don't keep such a sullen face. It's a miracle that all the members of the police station returned in the face of that situation. Let's not talk about the dream world, outside (
Reality) But such a massacre happened!"
"..."
After listening to Alexandre Dumas' words, the director fell into deep thought.
——The 'some kind of being' that appeared after Flat Escardes was killed did not attack the police officer.
——As expected, that thing is Flat Escaldes, and the armistice agreement between him and us is still valid... Is this the case?
——So, is it possible to get in touch with him in the future?
You shouldn't have too high expectations, the director thought.
At the same time, he was also figuring out what to do next.
"It is said that Miu Qiuchun's life activity has dropped by one level. Her status is still unclear..."
Looking from the side, it was rare for Vera, who was usually as sharp as a sharp blade and gave the impression of being calm and thorough, to look like this. She looked in a trance and said in a slightly haggard tone.
"There has been no change since then. Sister, she has been looking after Miuqiu Chun day and night. She probably won't last three days..."
"Really? If the situation is true, the servants will not be able to maintain their spiritual base after the death of the master. Although I am sorry for your sister, but locking many people and heroic spirits in the inherent barrier... after the cavalry showed such
After gaining strength, it will no longer be possible to take risks to save the relevant people and the city."
"...That's right."
"The most dangerous thing is that if that heroic spirit renews its contract with someone... If it is an extremely powerful heroic spirit like the cavalry, it will disappear immediately once it loses its magic power supply. Since we still don't know the situation yet, we must
Just keep an eye on it."
Orlando's implication was tantamount to abandoning Jiuqiu Chun, and Vera did not refute this.
After all, we have personally experienced the power of that heroic spirit.
Without the help of the swordsman, many companions would die in the dream world, and the entire army might even be wiped out.
If you want to save the girl's life under such circumstances, it means ignoring the rest of the city.
However, Vera couldn't help but feel depressed when she thought of her sister, who knew nothing about the magic world, risking her life and death to save the girl's life.
The magician would not think like this, but Vera understood that this was the will conveyed by the director to the police force, and the same was true for other members.
In a sense, it is precisely because they cannot abandon human morality and thinking like other magicians that they can stand here.
Vera, who has worked with Orlando for a long time, understands better than anyone the director's annoyance at the decision to abandon Minqiu Chun.
From the director's point of view, making a decision based on a reasonable magician's thinking should not be about 'abandoning', but 'taking a positive approach' is the right answer.
In other words, if the Holy Grail War can end as soon as possible and Jiuqiuchun can be liberated from the constraints of the Command Seal, her physical condition may also recover.
——...Now that things have happened, what else can I do?
Vera deeply realized the naivety of her fantasy, tried to adjust her thinking, and completely let go of her emotions——
Just when she was so troubled, she smelled a smell that was both calm and highly irritating.
"...?"
Vera raised her head and saw Alexandre Dumas walking from the depths of the room carrying a dinner plate.
The appetite-stimulating aroma seemed to be wafting from the plate. Vera glanced at the director next to her, who also frowned and stared at Dumas, who was walking towards her.
"Hoho, it's done."
Alexandre Dumas paid no attention to these two people and placed the plate on the round table used for the meeting.
Then, something incredible happened. What was originally an ordinary work table was painted with color, given shape, and turned into a luxurious dining table like an old restaurant or a noble castle.
The tablecloth swayed in the gentle breeze, and the candlesticks that appeared at some point warmly illuminated the surrounding scenery.
There are exquisite delicacies on the dinner plate that make people salivate at the sight of them.
The meat dish is made like a palace garden using ingredients such as pie crust, sauce, vegetables cut into garnishes, and mousse. It is paired with thinly sliced truffles to create a "beautiful view" on the plate.
Take the vegetables used as decorations, which contain carving skills that gourmets who appreciate food can never match.
It's like a finished sculpture, but rather than saying 'It would be a pity if I eat it', it's more like 'I want to taste it quickly'. It's filled with an eerie aroma that stimulates your taste buds just by looking at it.
It competes with the taste of the esophagus on the dinner plate.
"This is……?"
Faced with the director's muttering, Alexandre Dumas replied.
"Huh? This thing has the same principle as your weapons. It just adds a little bit of the history of the dining table. Is it called projection magic or something? Anyway, it's one of them. You will change back after eating.
"
To be continued...
