Dragon Clan: Fujimaru-san is saving the world

Those were the last two days before the battle began.

During these two days, everyone was trying to think of what they could do.

Da Vinci repeatedly debugged the armed assembly, while Norton involuntarily asked to free up a research room for him, and inexplicably chose to pull Angers away.

The heroic spirits are thinking about how to improve their strategic significance as much as possible, while ascendants like Chu Zihang are trying their best to seize the last moment to understand their own limits.

At that time, Fujimaru Ritsuka spent most of his time saying goodbye to people he knew well.

In her original plan, Eri was the last person left.

But plans can never keep up with changes, or in other words, Fujimaru Ritsuka himself never thought that he could predict the actions of 'that guy'.

"Look at the good things you have done, Ritsuka."

The fifteenth floor of Genji Heavy Industries was the large living room where banquets were held in the past. The splendid decorations were all dim at the moment because there were no reservations to open it to the outside world that day.

The two people who came here were uninvited guests.

Fujimaru Ritsuka stood on the familiar observation deck, drinking juice obediently in a semicircular building like a small courtyard, holding the cup with both hands, and her movements were close to those of a kitten.

Behind her was a 'young man' named Lu Mingze.

"Boss, you are finally here. Speaking of which, this is the first time we have talked since you woke up."

Without looking back, Fujimaru Ritsuka drank the juice in small sips and looked at the scenery of Tokyo in the distance.

"Before blaming me, shouldn't you say thank you? Ah~ah~I am your savior~"

".Thanks."

Lu Mingze was silent for a moment, but still murmured politely.

"You are satisfied, to be honest. Although it was indeed an unexpected move to rescue me, what you did after that was too much."

"Brother's deal obviously has two left, why do you have to go to all the trouble to stop me!"

Lu Mingze took the initiative to walk to the area covered by the light. Under the neon light, the devil in the suit showed a scowl.

"Do you really like taking risks?"

"Huh~~~"

The question was answered with a light breath, and the girl blew into what was clearly a frozen fruit drink, looking serious.

Her eyes still did not turn to Lu Mingze. She was looking at the distance in a trance, as if she didn't want to waste a second and wanted to imprint the city with twinkling lights at this moment in her mind.

But the response is there.

"Even if you say that, if Mingfei is really left with only one transaction limit, who knows if you will have any coercive means to force Mingfei to trade~"

"If every transaction is an invasion of power, then it means that boss, you have more control over Lu Mingfei's brain, right? Seventy-five percent of the time, maybe you have more control over the brain. It’s even higher than Ming Fei.”

".That kind of thing——"

"I know you wouldn't do that kind of thing. I'm just fooling around. Don't be angry." The girl waved her hand, letting Lu Mingze swallow down the anger that had just risen.

"But, boss, you are really boring. Didn't I tell you the answer to the question you want to ask in Night City? You know the reason but you always pretend not to understand it. Ah! Where is it? Damn it!" The girl finally turned her head and said jokingly, "He is the kind of person who looks arrogant but is actually delicate at heart. He is always worried that his social distance may not be taken too far, so he talks to others without speaking clearly. People who insist on a shrinking strategy~ who claim to have 'no interest in social interaction' are actually simply 'socially weak'~"

"you!!"

The boss is angry!

But before the anger reached its peak, Fujimaru Ritsuka repeatedly interrupted, as if deliberately teasing and teasing.

"It's because you are my friend."

She tilted her head slightly, her orange hair hanging down, and the light and shadow outside the window penetrated the gaps in her hair, just like the morning sun slipping through the leaves of a dense forest.

"Although you always talk with lots of riddles and like to pretend, I really like the Mixi group chat. Even if everyone is really just chatting and kicking, it still makes me feel a little nostalgic."

"I love the environment you've created for me."

"And didn't you say that you are quite fond of me? Isn't it natural that people will like "people who like themselves"?"

The girl shrugged.

"I also had a close friend, oh no, I have a close friend." The images that appeared in the girl's mind were of the Moon God's Spear falling from the sky, the desperate sea of ​​death, and what was standing in front of her, just for a brief moment. A dedicated man. ".That person is obviously quite weak and thinks very negatively, but he will stand in front of me at the critical moment. Even if he is shattered to pieces, he will remain strong until the last moment."

"That's what friends are all about."

"You said that you would not hurt Mingfei, but you could make him the absolute king. The basic principle of this world is equivalent exchange. Whatever you gain, you will lose, so -" Fujimaru Ritsuka said calmly.

"The moment Mingfei's deal ends, you will face death on his behalf."

The cold-faced demon subconsciously shook his fingertips, and hesitation and panic flashed in his eyes.

The moment the lie is exposed, there is no way to calm down.

Fujimaru Ritsuka pursued relentlessly.

"I believe that you and Mingfei are powerful as UO, but at what cost?"

"In most cases, the planets themselves treat each other in a 'kin' relationship. The fact is that the Earth is quite generous to Mingfei and you, except for Nidhogg's problem."

"Why, after being severely injured by Nidhogg, didn't you consider returning to your own planet?"

"UO, is it really possible to be so irreversibly damaged?"

She expressed her doubts, but not to answer them.

Because she thinks she knows the answer.

The girl and the devil looked at each other silently, and it took a long time before they answered.

"Mingfei said, you told him"

【We only have each other left. 】

【How many years have it been just us】

"I have always wondered why this world is different from all parallel worlds in that an Earth uo like Nidhogg was born."

Nidhogg was born from planetary manufacturing.

But the Earth on all parallels will fail.

This time we were able to succeed because we had a case record.

See the problem?

Nidhogg is the origin of the planet, the creature of creation. The so-called uo is the ultimate life created at the beginning of the birth of the planet.

So--

The world hasn't been built yet - where can we get the scripts from Earth to simulate the Earth?

In Fujimaru Ritsuka's world, ORT came to Earth because he received instructions from Earth to "destroy humanity."

But it is obvious that this instruction was issued after the creation of the earth. Even if OR came 66 million years earlier, it was still not the origin of the planet.

What does it mean?

It shows that Lu Mingze and Lu Mingfei are not Uo summoned for the purpose of "destroying human beings" like ORT.

But for other reasons, even uo who came to this planet purely by chance.

If I must give an answer——

"There is no place to go back to. This planet is the last."

Lu Mingze gave the final answer.

The voice was as sweet as water, calm and not disturbing.

He finally took off his impetuous mask.

Only the weakness that he inadvertently showed when communicating with Lu Mingfei on weekdays was left, and the sadness that seemed to swallow up the world was left.

But at this moment, he didn't hide it.

"No planet will allow two ORTs to exist. As a 'postzoic', the Earth is already considered a moderate planet, and it was only accepted because my brother and I were the prototypes for its successful birth uo."

"If we go to other planets, what will be left behind is the inevitable war and the continuation of killing."

"I don't care, but for my brother, it's too lonely."

"He has shouldered so much for so long that he needs to separate his own [sin] before he can think conventionally, and he places his spiritual elements in the human body and reincarnates repeatedly to eliminate the cause and effect."

That was the unveiling of the last veil of the history of this planet.

——The existence of Lu Mingze and Lu Mingfei.

They are uo from a destroyed planet.

Because he was unable to enter any planet where uo already existed, he came to the source of the unborn earth in advance, accompanied its birth, and helped it complete the construction of uo, so that the balance of abilities matched, in order to gain the gratitude and habitation of the earth. right.

Everything was wonderful in the beginning.

Why?

Why should the [Black King] deliberately create a White King who checks and balances his existence and divides half of the authority when the [Black King] exists?

The answer is obvious.

Because Lu Mingfei and Lu Mingze, as samples, are also twins.

Because there is no conflict of interest, and no matter the expansion and invasion of the planet, the earth has been transformed into an advanced planet with dual uo that is extremely rare in the entire galaxy since its birth.

Initially everything was smooth.

Nidhogg, Bai Wang, as well as Lu Mingfei and Lu Mingze.

As creators, or [prototypes], there is no conflict or struggle between them.

But the hidden dangers have never been eliminated.

Try to push time forward again - doubts will arise.

[Why the planet will be destroyed]

No reason.

Simply because it has reached the limit of its lifespan.

There is no absolute eternity in the world, this is the truth.

Even the root, what symbolizes the origin of the universe, may not have an ending moment.

In the past, in Fujimaru Ritsuka's world, the will of the earth only accepted this point indifferently, and was only afraid of the fact that "humanity will not perish after its own death."

Isn't it obvious?

The problem arises again.

It’s not that the will of the planet doesn’t produce emotions, but it has no triggering conditions.

Lu Mingfei and Lu Mingze, who were born due to an extreme accident, arrived on the planet and while helping them give birth to uo, they also told them about their experiences.

It was a planetary history without any ripples.

Birth, giving birth to uo, screening civilization, then failing, and finally slowly waiting for the moment when the planet is extinguished.

Everything is so natural, like all planets.

It was almost like a preview.

A preview is also a prophecy.

【the same as you】

The existence of Lu Mingfei and Lu Mingze, and their arrival, announced this message.

【You will die too】

Logically speaking, the earth should be able to accept it.

But as mentioned before, the reason why the earth seems to accept its own death with openness is simply because there are no additional conditions to stimulate it.

Just like human beings are naturally born as cogs of society and a link in the world, and then complete without any trouble, go to school, make friends, work, marry a wife, have children, and then grow old and die.

——Ah, that’s it.

This is the only conclusion that can be drawn.

But if someone starts telling you when you're young, "You're going to die," "This is what you'll look like after you die," and.

[After you die, there will be no changes in this universe]

You have no meaning.

You have no present, past, or future.

The more I thought about it, the more I tried to think, the more the fear grew.

When living death is in front of you, even the planet may have completely different ideas.

So, it started to change.

Unlike the peaceful planet in Fujimaru Ritsuka's world line, in this world line, it is not trying to kill everything in revenge.

Rather

Make a living.

——

".Wait." Time returned to the observation deck of Genji Heavy Industries.

The girl interrupted Lu Mingze's narration, just because of the conclusion that was about to be spoken next, even she felt chilled all over and clicked her tongue.

"You mean Nidhogg kills civilization, not because he will destroy the planet, but because"

Yeah, no one has ever had evidence to confirm Nidhogg's purpose.

Whatever Odin, Norton, or Jormungandr left behind was just a 'phenomenon'.

This is the phenomenon where Nidhogg kills civilization at all costs.

However, if it is not to extend life, but to——

At that moment, Fujimaru Ritsuka's brain seemed to be pierced by lightning and thunder.

A doubt that had puzzled her for countless years resurfaced at this moment.

[Why the Lostbelt was born]

[In other words, who gave the definition of Lostbelt]

[No, it’s easier to ask——]

[Who is qualified to judge what is the Lost Belt? 】

[Why - a world that cannot meet the condition of 'infinite evolution' is called a Lost Belt? 】

Is it because of humans?

If that's really all it is.

Why can the history of this planet be denied and reset?

Are humans the center of this universe?

Or.

The screener doesn't just look at the possibilities of 'human beings'.

It is an extension of this

"Nidhogg is indeed screening, but not to screen out life that will not cause harm to the planet."

Lu Mingze said.

"The purpose is to screen out civilizations [that can lead the planet to the infinite future]."

"It was a reality that arrived by accident."

“This ‘people’ is the starting point.”

"Star-based theory."

"The path that runs through the galaxy, reaches the end of the universe, and opens up a path."

That is the responsibility this [world] has had since its birth.

The starting order held by all protoss families from birth to the present day.

The most noble blood commandment in the world.

They will sacrifice themselves for that mission until the entire clan is extinct, and they have the pride to be strictly guarded like a curse.

Ha ha

This argument

It's almost like saying

"Ah." Lu Mingze nodded simply and closed his eyes.

"This is the universe - the world"

【Grand Order Designation】

ps: Long time no see in this chapter!

Well~ Although basically no one has read this book, I still can’t help but talk!

I like this chapter very much!

Although it is a circle in terms of setting, and although most readers may not know what I am doing at all, as an author, I am really satisfied with this chapter.

The Yuanlong clan can’t satisfy me anymore, I want ○ shaped moon ()

[Why the judgment standard for Lostbelt is infinite development]

【Why? Who stipulated it? 】

[It would be too arrogant if humans alone could determine the survival of the world. 】

This chapter is based on the thoughts that came from reading the related settings of the second part of FGO.

[The crown designation of the universe]

The universe, like people, is struggling for its own continuation, trying to filter out the life that can help it reach infinity.

Corresponding to the end of the existence of the universe in the moon-shaped world, and the cycle of endless repetition. (The origin of the end of the universe)

And since the planet has a collective will, it’s not surprising that the universe does as well ()

It also corresponds to what Fujimaru Ritsuka said from the first part to the present: "I just want to live."

Because what Fujimaru Ritsuka did was always inconsistent with what she said, I felt that there needed to be some setting to respond to this theme.

I think it’s cool()
