Before the official departure, he asked another puzzling question.

"You were a heroic spirit before, and now you are a human again. Have you ever thought about what else you want to do besides 'going back'?"

"This...Actually, I haven't thought of that much yet."

"Haven't thought about it? Then you can think about it on the road. There is a big difference between human beings and heroic spirits. It's rare to 'live' again. It would be a pity not to do something meaningful."

"..."

After half an hour.

"You are right. Heroic spirits are different from humans. There are many things that are exclusive to living people. In this case, I..."

"I should, I will try to discover my hobbies. Not just what food I like, what taste I like, and what color I like. Just like Miss Elizabeth and Miss Nero I met in the Halloween castle, They like to sing and want to hold their own concert. I think, besides fulfilling the wish of the master, find something else that I really want to do."

"It doesn't necessarily have to be singing, I haven't found the direction yet, so I probably have to try every unfamiliar way... once?"

There was some hesitation in his tone when he said these words, but obviously, the speaker's heart was lit up with joy, and the voice could not help but feel a little anticipation.

The scope of things like "hobbies" is too broad, and it is definitely impossible to list them all at once.Therefore, the person who answered will cautiously say that there is no goal yet, and it may be necessary to try each of them first.

But the man who asked the question sighed heavily after hearing this.

"It's too thin. Your past life, whether you were a human being or a heroic spirit, was so monotonous and meaningless. However, there is still a saying that is right. You have to try every method. You have to try it once to know if you like it or not.”

"Come--"

He picked him up.

Among the snow-capped mountains, the weather was clear once in a while, and the blizzard stopped for a while, allowing the cold wind that usually washes against the outer walls of the solid buildings to recede quietly, revealing the covered windows that seemed to be clinging to the windows. Shape of distant snow-capped mountains.

Just then.

"boom!!!"

Not only was the movement of the avalanche caused by the propagation of the sound, but there was also a deafening roar that sounded one step ahead.

Chaldea, a special institution hidden in the snow-capped mountains, the defensive gates that were able to withstand bombardment and heroic spirit attacks according to common sense were no longer the same, and became scattered and scattered pieces that could not be picked up on the ground.

The sound of the siren instantly echoed in all areas inside.

When guards with weapons swarmed to surround him, the aura that erupted in the crisis was astonishing.

Hearing the movement, the human master who was still in the meeting room and some of his heroic spirits also felt uneasy, and rushed to the place where the "enemy" invaded in time.

However, the ones who appeared on the scene were the ones who had knocked down the first guards in an instant, and were boringly lifting up the fallen "corpses" with the toe of their shoes, stacking them up and throwing them down... human beings!

It is genuine, not a heroic spirit, and does not have any magical aura of non-human creatures on it.

The main door was blasted open with just a single blow, and the man who came to this human guardianship institution, which is said to be impossible for any outsider to find, stepped forward quite calmly, stepping on the rubble and gravel. out a few steps.

"Intruder, who are you!"

The man with silver hair and golden eyes turned a deaf ear to these scolding voices.

His first gaze was given to the human master who finally appeared and the few heroic spirits who came with him, without any extra pause, just like a symbolic glance.Then, he retracted his gaze without emotion, and instead spoke casually in front of these people.

"Honey."

The first sentence he uttered was not to the people of Chaldea, but to another person——

terrible!

This was the voice of Fujimaru Tachika after being swept by the man's indifferent eyes.

It was the first time that Chaldea was invaded.While turning a blind eye to the defensive magic and traps scattered all over the outside, the intruder walked slowly as usual, ruthlessly smashing through the hidden crisis with just steps!

And, that's not the scariest thing yet.The real horror can be easily felt even by Fujimaru Tachika, the only human being present who can still stand.

——He just barged in with such a high-profile manner, he couldn't see the weapon, and his hands were not empty.

Because, the man's hands are still holding a person.

The long black cloth that should be the cloak completely covered the man's figure, without revealing a single gap that could allow the cool wind or the sight of outsiders to take advantage of it.The reason why he was able to guess that there was a person under the black cloth was that the man lowered his head, not only his eyes became gentler, but even his voice was cold, as if he was speaking in public a tender whisper that only a beloved lover could hear.

"My dear, let's play with this first. Do you like it... well, I can't guarantee it, but it's very exciting to keep."

"...What, how dare a mere human being be so arrogant!"

The first one who couldn't bear it was an Avenger.

Jeanne Alter was irritated by the man's eyes that ignored everyone including him to the end.Reaching out to push Fujimaru Tachika aside, she sneered and took a step forward, as if she was about to abandon the nonsense and burn the daring enemy with flames.

But, before she took action.

"-Stand back, don't get in front of Yu."

A deep voice that was familiar but no one expected to appear here came from behind.

Black Joan froze for a moment, and while being stunned by Fujimaru Tateka who pushed aside again, she subconsciously called Ozymandias.

It was the Pharaoh, Ozymandias, who came.

In today's Chaldea, not to mention the gloomy atmosphere, among the Heroic Spirits who came to the meeting, several figures were unavoidably missing.But despite their continued absence, no one blames them for it.

Because the blow they received was too great to bear, and they were tacitly allowed to go out to relax or calm down.In fact, even Fujimaru Tachika and Mash were deeply hit, but compared with those few, their degree...is really too light.

Ozymandias was one of the absentees.

Like the other absentees, the Pharaoh was not seen in Chaldea for several days.However, at this moment——

As if walking in thick black shadows, the Pharaoh's handsome face seemed to have lost the brilliance of the sun at this moment, and was shrouded in gloom, only the extremely cold golden eyes still shone with dazzling light.

He only said a word to his own personnel when he let the common people in the way retreat, and after that, he never talked to Fujimaru Tachika and others again.

The pharaoh who came here suddenly left everyone behind, and faced the invaders at the forefront, with a strange look of anger and struggle on his face.

"The traitor on the other side...answer Yu!"

"The one in your hand."

"The person who was occupied by your sinful arms, the person who made Yu want to get close to him, and even made Yu unable to stop being anxious if he didn't embrace him for a moment, he! It is! Who!"

"The traitor on the other side" didn't finally raise his gaze from the person in his arms until this moment.

When it fell on Ozymandias's face, there seemed to be such an inadvertent moment, and the man was slightly stunned.But immediately after, this moment of absent-mindedness not only did not make him hesitate, but instead caused a hint of playfulness to flash across his fiery golden pupils.

It seems more interesting.

"As soon as you come up, the first sentence you say is to pass me standing in front of you, and ask about my dear wife alone - you are really rude."

The temperature in the man's eyes and tone plummeted at this moment, and the broken door seemed to let the cold from the outside into the room. Frost condensed on the top of the head, walls, floors and other corners at a speed visible to the naked eye...

No!This cold air does not come from the ice and snow outside, its source is right in front of you!

"Source" just said: "It's okay, it can be regarded as coincident with my purpose of coming here."

After finishing speaking—the man didn't let go, let alone retreat in any murderous manner.He just lowered his head casually, and the silver hair fell down his face following the downward trend.

Teeth, biting a corner of the black cloak.

Slowly tilting his head, Heibut, who was clenched by his teeth, was immediately pulled aside.The figure of another person who was originally covered under was slowly revealed in the eyes of everyone.

This man, that is, Eddie, while biting the black cloth lightly, cast a last provocative and arrogant look towards the front filled with bad breath.

"All of you, give me a closer look."

Contemptuously, he spat out a corner of the black cloth with incomparable contempt.The cloak, which had completely lost its meaning of existence, fell to the ground like a curtain falling after the episode officially started, without a sound.

A few strands of long blue hair leaked from the man's arms first. They were obviously so light and the color could not be considered bright, but the moment they were revealed, they inevitably crashed into the man's arms. Everyone present couldn't help but widen their shocked eyes.

Ozymandias reacted most strongly.

The Pharaoh was completely stunned.

Beautiful people.

The most beautiful young man in the world fell asleep peacefully between the man's arms. The loud noise before couldn't wake him up. What's more, the man seemed to be whispering deliberately for others to hear.

"Look, how beautiful he is, especially good-looking."

"He is good in everything. The only slightly bad thing is that he is too stubborn, and he is too stupid and easy to deceive, and he has no defense."

In the dead silence, Eddie enjoyed the picture he wanted to see with satisfaction.Then, the voice changed abruptly.

"Have you seen it all?"

"Very well, I came here specially for you to see. See how cute and beautiful my wife is. Then..."

This arrogant and lawless man, under the gaze of all the dazed to dull eyes, actually hooked his lips into a smile.

"—it's time to wake up, idiots."

"He's mine. Don't accept it? Just come and grab it."

*****

"...Is it him? Is it him? Is it him?...Is it really him? I think...I think...the damn thing is that he must be him! It's him! It's him, right? Merlin! It turns out that you disappeared for so long to do such an important thing, woo woo woo, I forgive you for skipping work!"

"Yeah, yeah, I worked so hard to save people, but I couldn't even touch them, so I was snatched away by the real big devil who appeared out of thin air. I'm tired, I'm really tired... Stop, stop, stop! You two don't Hold me and cry and wipe your snot and tears all over me!"

"Woo, I'm sorry Mr. Merlin, but... woo woo woo, the person who saved me, the gentle brother who only vaguely remembers, is back...Senior, I..."

"Mash... me too... wow!!!"

Fujimaru Tachika and Ma Xiu are hugging each other and crying.

The poor magician who was caught between the heads of two little ghosts and whose gorgeous robes were all soiled was Merlin who had been missing for a long time.

Merlin: "..."

Unfortunately, Merlin couldn't smile at all right now, and his face was even very gloomy.

Now everyone knows that Ellie was able to be resurrected because Merlin, who was the only one who still had memory at the time, tried every means and tried countless times before finding the "god" who created Ellie through dreams.

Naturally, Merlin was the only one who knew that Airlie would come back at that time, and was the first person to greet Airlie with full confidence.

However, the seemingly omniscient magician also misses.

He never expected that Ellie would be resurrected with a man who was [-] times more hated than Ozymandias in the Halloween script.

Eddie, who "escorted" Ellie back, took the lead in beating Merlin who was caught off guard.

It's a real beating.

That's why the flower magician squatted in Chaldea in such a low mood, being hugged and wiped away by the little ghosts.

"Ahhh, I've done everything I can, and I don't want to worry about anything now. Anyway, those guys are more active than me, and they rushed out a long time ago. I don't know which corner of the world they are chasing. Let me stay here now. Take a rest and be lazy... Tsk."

Of course, it can be seen from this that Merlin is not only tired, but also very dissatisfied with the unfair treatment he has received.So he announced that there will be a slowdown, and the time for returning to work is not yet clear.

Chaldea, which suffered a sudden attack, has become a real "ruin" at this time.

The real big devil Eddie came here to provoke him on purpose. He only fought with the Pharaoh Ozymandias who came the fastest. Lee ran away.

Ozymandias immediately chased after him, and Joan of Arc was the second. King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, who had been in Chaldea before, came a step behind and knocked down the last precarious outer wall. , also rushed into the snowstorm.There are very few people who are still here, and most of the heroic spirits have run away, and most of them want to watch the excitement.

The rest of the staff were repairing the building tremblingly in the blizzard without the roof or the wall, while Fujimaru Tachika and Mash were crying in the original summoning room. Contains sadness, but also brings unparalleled excitement and joy.

Although they all forgot Airlie.

Although they don't know what happened and what it was like during those days with Ellie...

However, the "miracle" is quietly hidden in the hearts of everyone who has lost their memories, and it is called "fetters".

The cries of the youngest boy and girl were still passed on for a long time. Besides, there seemed to be another person's voice mixed in against the sound of the wind.

After careful identification, it turned out to be Da Vinci's relative.

Da Vinci yelled at the empty air in her workshop:

"Romany Akiman! Oh no, it should be Solomon now—so! Lo! Mon! I know you have clairvoyance, and if you see what's going on here, act quickly and find Airlie... No, just finding it is not enough."

"There are wild men coming to your door and announcing that your wife is his wife! Damn, if it weren't for Li Xiang's ability, these revised facts would really be just dreams and no one would know. You, you must give me Be the first to save poor Ellie! Show off your magic king's strength, idiot!"

Her voice was so full of spirit, but whether it reached the ears of the man who returned to the temple alone and never came out again is unknown.

……

Eddie is the strongest human being in the entire world.

If you want to divide his strength specifically, humans are the strongest, and can compete with heroic spirits of upper-middle level.

It is precisely because he is a human being that this level of strength is particularly terrifying.But because he is a human being, he would still lose to the highest-level Heroic Spirits one-on-one. If there are more than one Heroic Spirits shamelessly attacking him——

Eddie: "Yeah, I'm so stupid that I didn't run away, and stood here being beaten by you."

He ran very simply, um, even if he was running away, he ran with confidence and without guilt at all.

Airlie: "...Really."

Ellie wasn't actually asleep. He was asked by Eddie to pretend to be asleep and not interfere with anything. It was an exchange for Eddie to bring him back here.

"Actually, I didn't ask you to bring me back. It's fine for me to come back by myself..."

That's the point.Eddie talked to himself, and forced him to accept a "condition" that he had to agree to. At that time, Ellie silently looked at this man who didn't know what to think of and began to be complacent for a while. After struggling for a while, he still nodded. .

The result of nodding is that the two of them are being "hunted down" by countless heroic spirits.

Ellie sensed the familiar magic power ripples several times, and he could tell who the heroic spirits who were almost there were.This made him very helpless, and he felt more and more distressed by the "they" who were played by Eddie and wanted to find him but couldn't find them.

Eddie is not only terrifyingly powerful, but also has amazing concealment ability.There is also the reason that the two of them are humans without magic power now, so that the heroic spirits can't find them with traces of magic power, so the time is getting longer and longer.

Airlie begged Eddie several times, but Eddie always said, "No hurry, I'm here for a trip anyway, let me do some more shopping. By the way, don't you want to 'try'? Just start on the road Let's do whatever we want."

It's as if he really came here for a trip.

He goes anywhere, cities, countryside, mountains, caves, seabed, jungle...

Also as he told Ellie, he takes him to do everything.When you are in the city, you can experience all the entertainment methods of modern humans. There are also various sports, including competitive events and extreme sports. fish……

Human Ellie's physical strength is much lower than that of Heroic Spirit, and Eddie needs to take it with him most of the time, but even so, he feels quite tired.

but.

Tired, but more fulfilled than ever.

He sometimes thinks that even if he doesn't do anything, just looking at Eddie's back as if he is never tired of walking forward, he can somehow smile a little.

Of course, generally speaking, the smile doesn't last more than a few minutes, and he will plead countless times because he is thinking about "some people" who are still being thrown by Eddie in circles: "Come here, don't tease them Let's play, okay?"

Eddie would also say, "No rush, no rush, how long have you been shopping, one month? Two months? Go and go."

One month, two months...

On the last day of the third month.

Eddie took Ellie to a deserted forest.

Under a tree that grows particularly tall and is favored by the sun alone, Eddie said to Ellie: "I saw you danced and played the piano with others, but I never heard you sing."

"Sing me a song, anything is good, I want to listen to it. Well, in exchange, I'll give you a gift too."

From Ellie's eyes, the man didn't sit down like him, but stood aside with his back against the tree stump.His silver hair was also touched by the sun, as if the warmth melted the snow.

Sensing Ellie's gaze, Eddie lowered his head, and after a while, he smiled at him.

Gradually, Ellie also smiled, with soft eyes: "No problem, but I can only sing lullabies."

Eddie said, "Well, I'm listening."

Airlie really started humming, that gentle tune that he had learned to lull little Cu Chulainn to sleep.

Eddie certainly wouldn't fall asleep.

However, it was Ellie who fell asleep while singing.

Ellie is tired.

This enduring fatigue has existed since the moment he used the Noble Phantasm for the people he cared about and the world, and accompanied him into the darkness, and accompanied him to wake up from the darkness.

With Eddie, the tiredness subsided a little, but there was more of that part, and probably only when reunited with those people did it really go away.

Ellie leaned against a tree and fell asleep.

And beside him, Eddie was no longer there.

Not long after, almost the next second, someone finally came.

no no……

They all came.

Guarding beside the sleeping beautiful young man, waiting—even if the existence is erased, even if the memory disappears, they can still wake up their beloved lover named "Airlie".

……

……

towering place.

Standing on the top of the highest mountain in the world, the silver-haired man looked down at the stratus clouds beneath his feet, his eyes were extremely far and deep.

"Sure enough, I still like high places." He said: "It's just me. Although it's a bit boring, the scenery I see makes me most comfortable."

Three months.

Among the three years, these three months.He came to "the ground" and did a lot of things that mostly didn't get him amused.

However, Eddie felt that time was not wasted. Although these things were boring to him, they were very meaningful to another person.

Then, he can feel that he has not wasted energy.

Why say no wasted "energy" instead of no wasted "time"?

Time is not important to Eddie, because, unless he voluntarily, he will not die, and will always maintain the strongest state and body in the world, without termination.

The one who really needs to cherish time is Ellie.

To be resurrected, to become a human again, and to come back to this world—that is, the "destiny" that Airlie had experienced had to be repeated again.

After the existence is erased, the consciousness of the world will continue to reject him again. From the moment he stepped into this world, the time that Airlie lived as a human being will count down from three years.

——That's why I said, this person is so stubborn that it gives him a headache.Knowing that such a result will be obtained, knowing that as long as they are with him and accept his protection, even the world consciousness cannot interfere with them...

——I still have to refuse, or I have to 'go back' with full expectation.

Airlie was the first, and probably the only one, who could make Eddie completely helpless.

He had been with him for so long, but he still couldn't make him change his mind.

If the time is pushed back further, to the past when he just left his hometown and hadn’t died yet, if Eddie met such a stubborn Ellie at that time, he would probably have been impatient and wouldn’t care about Ellie. Take him away directly.

He won't abandon him, but he will definitely be irritated by Ellie's persistence again. They will probably torture each other, one will not compromise, the other won't let go, that's it...

A very low sneer suddenly leaked from Eddie's mouth.

"Oh, that's right. So it's not just him who has changed, even my temperament seems to have changed a little bit."

Forget it.

never mind!

Since people didn't want to go with him, he felt unhappy and didn't bother to force it anymore.After all, he never wants to stay in the same place for a long time.

Eddie is gone.

Walking in a very chic way, without nostalgia.

But... before leaving, he stopped at the top of the peak, thinking about it, and still meddling in one more time.

Feixue couldn't touch his silver hair. After throwing away his cloak, the windbreaker he had just put on swayed wantonly in the icy cold wind, and this wanton man stretched out his hand to the vast sky like this:

"Come on, Lucas."

His eagle broke through the icy barrier and flew over. At this moment, he added a hint of sternness to his peaceful voice:

"Fly higher, go to the end of this world, and remind the so-called world consciousness that has forgotten Ellie together."

Eddie doesn't like "Heroic Spirits"... well, he doesn't like Heroic Spirits, that's already been said.

but.

Human beings will be gradually forgotten after death, but heroic spirits can last forever.

If there is no accident, Ellie who came back here is the most ordinary human being, he will die, and after death, it will be another end.

"Tell them—my Ellie, although he is very naive and easily deceived, he is not unprotected."

"He saved mankind at the cost of falling into endless nothingness. With this feat alone, can't he be allowed to become a heroic spirit again?"

——My wife no longer belongs to me... Live on, live on forever, no one will forget you anymore.Go find it, find it with peace of mind, what you want to do, what you want, and someone who can replace me in your heart.

——Tsk, forget about that bastard Merlin, there is a feeling of being pried into a corner by Yedidia, Gilgamesh, and Ozymandias together... It's not good, it's too bad.

Sure enough, he was still a little bit reluctant.
