As the field of vision continued to rise, the hole at the bottom of the stairs gradually became smaller, and Animusfiya saw Fujimaru Ritsuka looking down.
The red-haired girl watched quietly as Animusfiya approached her.
The two looked at each other.
"...."
No response.
"Hey, good morning."
Although it was only one day, Animusfia always felt that he had not said these words for a long time. Apparently he had already said good morning to everyone when he arrived in France yesterday.
Time is really a wonderful and profound thing.
But in short, when you don’t know what to say, just ask first.
"..."
However, Fujimaru Ritsuka still didn't answer him.
Is this angry?
Is it because she was excluded during the battle?
Or is it because of something else?
Could it be that you are worried about yourself?
As a subordinate, it seems reasonable for Fujimaru Ritsuka to care about his boss, who is the nominal "director".
But it would be too much to be angry about it.
Do you like yourself?
Impossible.
Animusfia shook her head and shook the three major illusions in life out of her mind.
Although Fujimaru Ritsuka usually behaves like a wretched uncle, at this time, she unexpectedly behaves like an ordinary girl.
Maybe that's a good thing.
But for Animusfia, he will be very distressed.
Because apart from her mother and relatives, the total number of women Animusfia knew in the two worlds did not exceed the number of two hands.
Compared with things like history and science, women's minds are more confused about Animusfia.
Animusfia was able to accurately determine which heroic spirit the other party was based on the exposed information, but he was unable to know the reason for the red-haired girl's quarrel.
Girls' knowledge is as wonderful and profound as time.
Animusfia couldn't help but sigh.
Maybe he should find a classmate who is better in liberal arts to tutor him on the question about women's hearts.
But he had heard this before: "No matter what happens, just apologize."
"I'm sorry for leaving you here alone."
Animusfia looked at the mercury star floating beside the girl and the bound Elizabeth.
Although neither of them can be considered human beings.
But to be precise, the red-haired girl is not alone here... right?
But he also heard another sentence from the same person: "Don't care about too many details, just admit your mistakes." It's similar to this.
"snort."
The girl finally gave him a reply.
It really worked.
When Animusfiya decided to go back, she took these two sentences as her words of wisdom.
"However, I have already eliminated the giant dragon."
"I saw it..."
"Then you should have seen Mashu coming too, right?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded:
"Um..."
"Then what are you waiting for? It's not good to keep your lovely junior waiting for a long time, right? Come on, I'll take you down."
The girl hugged Animusfia tightly from behind.
"let's go."
Animusfia was surprised by the sudden attack. He was stunned for a few seconds, and then said helplessly:
"Hey, it's not convenient to go down like this. I'll also help you with magic. Wouldn't it be more comfortable to fly by yourself?"
"No----"
Fujimaru Ritsuka shook his head.
"Just take me down like this and I will forgive you."
"this........"
Seeing that the girl hugging her from behind showed no signs of letting go, Animusfia had no choice but to compromise.
"At least come to the front, right? It'll be safer that way."
Animusfia has one less arm, so it is obviously safer to hug people than carrying them behind her back.
"Um!"
Fujimaru Ritsuka's voice seemed to have regained its energy, so energetic that Animusfia thought she was just pretending to be the same before.
Very good, very energetic.
The red-haired girl came to Animusfia, put his right hand around her waist, and pressed her soft body against Animusfia.
She still has no concept of social distance as always.
"Let's go, Director!"
"I said, you must have been pretending before, right?"
"Um....."
Fujimaru Ritsuka touched her lips with her index finger, thought about it and said:
"Secret~"
Well, Gudazi also has a girl’s secret, how fresh it is.
Holding Fujimaru Ritsuka in her arms, Animusfia jumped down the spiral staircase. Mercury Star and the bound Elizabeth also floated and flew down with them.
**********
Although it only takes thirty seconds to free fall, it only takes a few minutes to fly at full speed from bottom to top.
However, carrying a person and falling slowly is obviously not something that can be considered, and the time spent is greatly increased.
Getting closer and closer to the hole at the bottom of the stairs, Fujimaru Ritsuka, who had never said a word in Animusfia's arms since her whereabouts, suddenly spoke:
"Director, can you teach me magic?"
Animusfia looked at the red-haired girl in her arms in surprise.
"Why so sudden?"
"I... don't want to be powerless, and I don't want to just stand behind others."
It was like this when facing the Black Saber's Noble Phantasm in Fuyuki City, it was like this when Director Olga Marie died, it was like this when Animusfia lost her left arm, and it was like this in this battle with the dragon.
She always stands behind others and can do nothing.
"I don't want to see other people sacrifice anything anymore——"
"Very good, but I can't teach you."
"Why? The director's magic is very strong, right?"
Animusfia shook her head.
"Even though this is the case, I still can't teach you."
"Why?"
"My magic will be sealed and designated."
Animusfia said word for word.
Fujimaru Ritsuka heard a term she had never heard before from Animusfia's mouth.
But just understanding the literal meaning made her feel very bad.
"What is the seal designation?"
"Ah, I'm sorry, you must have never been exposed to this before. In short, [Seal Designation] is an operation initiated by the Magicians Association to capture talented magicians."
"...A magician who can catch crimes?"
"Well... although it is true that some magicians will be executed for violating the principle of "concealing mystery". But the intention of the seal designation is still good. In essence, it is to protect the magicians who have made shocking achievements and provide them for future generations.
It will be left to future generations as a display of the achievements of modern magic.”
"Why does it sound like a specimen..."
Animusfia curled her lips and continued:
"In fact, you will be soaked in formalin like a specimen. Don't you want to wait until you save the world and then be caught by the Magician Association and be kept in the clock tower to be a specimen for hundreds of years?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka shook his head in silence, and then thought of something:
"Then the director will not be designated by the seal?"
"Of course not. Olga Marie is dead and I am now the monarch Animusfia. The clock tower was built by many monarch families including the Animusfia family. How could they
Catch me. Besides, the Clock Tower can’t catch me at all.”
Animusfia laughed and denied.
However, Animusfia actually lied.
Including the sentence that he never lies, they are all lies.
What Animusfia is best at is telling lies, in other words, making others believe in herself.
Lies are often mixed with a lot of truth.
What is true and what is false will not be revealed until the end.
"Although there is no doubt that my magic is worthy of being sealed and designated, most people are not qualified to learn it."
Animusfia looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka and suddenly said seriously:
"But you are different. You have that talent, so can you promise me?"
"Promise what?"
"Even if you learn it by watching, never use it."
"....Um."
The red-haired girl nodded.
Although he agreed to Animusfia, Fujimaru Ritsuka was still full of doubts. This chapter has been completed!
