In the darkness that should have been eternal silence, Airlie should have slept forever.

However, I don't know when... when did it appear?

There was no warning, just in the midst of the muddle, a small voice sounded in his mind, thus awakening a tiny, equally meager consciousness.

It seems that someone is talking.

It also seems that there is more than one person.At first it was an unfamiliar voice, vague and intermittent, as if it came from an extremely distant place with great difficulty.Can't hear at all.

Yes, he can't hear clearly, and the consciousness is not here, unable to integrate and engrave those fragmented words into his heart.But the real situation is different from this. In a nearly blank state, he still got the message from somewhere.

——He, sink into the dark world with him.

--Soon.It's almost here.

——With the permission of "God", they are about to usher in a new life.

This news will undoubtedly make people extremely excited.Only a "miracle" with a probability of one in ten million or even less can revive the life that should have been turned into nothingness.

In the pitch-black space where no light can penetrate, Airlie seemed to be falling endlessly.

The darkness was like dark, or shadow-only water, flowing slowly around him and engulfing him greedily.

Ellie—probably relying on that tiny bit of consciousness to capture a little bit of hope, so he began to struggle.

It can't be said to be "struggling", because the so-called struggling movement is also very weak, and the boundless darkness fills all vision, so it must be discovered.

He moved his fingers very slightly, as if he wanted to grab something, but it was obvious that it didn't cause any ripples.

The traces of fluttering eyelids are also unrecognizable, and there is a slight gap between the tightly closed lips. He wants to open his mouth, and the intention is not to call for help, but more like...

Difficult but persistent, wanting to respond to someone's voice.

In addition to the "God" language that came from the beginning, in the following time, there was another person's voice that seemed to ring in my ears.

If it weren't for this void, there would be no wind. This feeling is more like the breeze whispering ambiguously in the ear.

"Ai... Er..."

"Al...Lee..."

It was calling his name, with a voice that could detect the tenderness even though he couldn't hear it clearly.

At this time, Ellie's mind was still in a state of chaos, and he couldn't immediately identify which person he knew that this rather unique voice belonged to, but he was so familiar with it that he couldn't help but feel a slight shock when he heard it. This is a metaphor. When the revelation of rebirth is imminent, there should be more obvious and more intense reactions.

"Don't sleep... Hurry up... Wake up..."

"Oh, really."

The man with a very familiar voice seemed to say these words with a helpless and indulgent smile.

"Anyway, I've been waiting for so long, and it doesn't seem like a big deal to let you stay in bed for a while..."

Nothing... big deal.

nothing……

nothing...

——Finally, although the consciousness is not fully awake, most of it has recovered.

What Ellie could hear clearly was the last half of the man's whispered words. At this moment, he felt his body begin to become lighter, and the "water flow" that had been quietly leading him to the depths before He reversed direction and lifted him up instead.

Hurriedly, as if he didn't dare to delay for a moment - as if he was threatened by some terrible monster.

……

Then he woke up.

The misty eyes can be opened, not only the fingertips, but also the hands can be easily lifted without restraint.

All in all, after waking up, Airlie was lying on the edge of the lake, still more than half submerged in the lake water.

This scene of real rebirth has been described as the ending before, but there are still some details that are hidden a little deeper, and it is not too late to talk about it now.

The lake water is naturally cold, and after wetting the only robe on his body, the wet part clings to his skin tightly, bringing a heart-warming coolness into his body.

But this coolness is nothing to Ellie.Because now he still has life, and the lake water is also fresh and real. Compared with the darkness in the endless void, it seems to be as warm as the sun.

just.

He, who was bathed in the real sunshine, did not immerse himself in the emotion of "he came alive" for too long in the first moment after waking up.

It's really unexpected, and it can be grateful, and at the same time kindle a little hope.

But more...

"is it you?"

Ellie suddenly asked inexplicably.

Without a clear target, there is no doubt that he is the only one by this lake.So, who are you asking?

The answer was hidden in his heart that felt a little sad for some reason.

—Is it you...it should be you.Except for you, I can't think of anyone who can not forget me in such a decisive situation.

It seems that not long ago, someone called him in the dark.That person is Merlin.

Ellie just woke up, maybe because he was still not used to the regained human body, he felt a little sore in his limbs, so he stood up slowly after a short rest.

After passing through the low bushes, he was a little tired, and rested a little by the grass that was not considered a road.

At that time, he held on to the tree beside him as a support to temporarily stop and catch his breath.In the process of panting, Ellie's eyes were still looking around involuntarily.

All you can see around you are big trees, clusters of grass, and...

In the field of vision, suddenly drilled into a few things that are more colorful than other things.

Just at the foot of a certain tree, there is a mass of pink and white mixed colors vaguely hidden. At first glance, it looks like the corner of a robe that someone hidden behind the tree accidentally failed to hide——

Of course, there is actually no one behind that tree.

This is the regrettable result after Airlie inexplicably changed his direction and couldn't help but go there to have a look.

"Although I know it's impossible for him to be here, but...forget it, it's not bad to have such a harvest."

The "harvest" he was referring to was this cluster of wildflowers growing shyly at the foot of the tree.

The petals are slender, and the ones extending from the stamens are white, and when they reach the end of the petals, they are gradually stained with soft pink.

Very familiar, the more you look at it, the more familiar it becomes.It's as if they're purposely here to attract his attention in the future.

Ellie squatted down, hugged her knees, tilted her head and looked at the cluster of small pink and white flowers, she couldn't hold back her thoughts, and went to a distant direction a long time ago - probably across the world.

"It's really like it."

"Teacher Merlin's ear... No, is it the ear or the decoration on the ear? Speaking of which, I always thought it was his ear..."

Oops, I didn't pay attention to whether it was the ears or the decorations.

Ellie didn't even notice that he squatted in front of the wild flowers for an unknown amount of time because of such a seemingly boring question.

His sight did fall here, but his heart probably left involuntarily along with the drifting thoughts.

How long has it been... Well, it doesn't seem too long to him, but I don't know how long it has been outside.Ahh, that's not the point.The point is-

"I think I really want to see you soon."

He looked at the flowers intently, and whispered in a very small voice.The person I really want to talk about is still not here.

Why do you say "also"?

Intuition, it may also be his delusion.Anyway... When hearing the blur, Ellie always felt that he heard a man talking very attached to him, wanting him to wake up quickly.

If that's the case, then, as "someone" also want to see him soon——should be no problem.

The mood now is quite strange.

In the past...well, in the past...why didn't you miss a certain magician as much as you do now?

It's not that I didn't miss someone "before", it's just that the degree is not the same.I still remember that he once joked about this matter, and said to the magician who opened his mouth that he was "missing and missing":

"By the way, Teacher Meilin, why haven't you noticed that you miss me so much in the past few hundred years?"

According to memory, the magician, after being silent on the apparently stuck end, argues rather slyly that his thoughts about him have increased over time.

"It's increasing every day. So, even if I miss you more every day, it's also getting more and more—"

"I like you more~"

……

It's over, the current situation is actually reversed from the original.

Airlie found that he, too, "missed so much all of a sudden" someone.

Such a mood, in addition to being described as "wonderful", seems to be mixed with some other emotions.

"There are still some things I want to tell you, but..."

"Let's talk about it when we see you."

*****

"I-I won't allow it!"

"And me! Hmph! If you're sensible, get out of here, you bastard magician with messy hair and a messy private life!"

"..."

"..."

stalemate.

It was very embarrassing, but the naked eye could see a stalemate in which both sides were unwilling to give in at all.

"Hey."

"I say."

"What's going on."

"Why—in the branch next door, everyone can happily take home the limp and cute Allie-chan after waking up, only me! To be blocked by you guys who popped up out of nowhere?! "

The man who said these words, that is, Merlin who was strictly ordered to roll as far as possible (no, he didn't say it so bluntly), although he still had a smile on his face, it was definitely not a smile Confident smile on the surface of the flesh.

"What are you talking about, Merlin?"

The blond-haired young knight who faced him directly, with the usual expression and no regrets or flinching, was undoubtedly King Arthur himself.

"The reason that drives me to stand here and decide to stop you has nothing to do with others, it's all based on my own will." Artoria said seriously.With the noble integrity of the King of Knights, she will never say anything against her will, so her heart is really firm, and she must carry out the task of this trip to the end.

"It's because we didn't let the knights of the round table who are about to make trouble come here to cause trouble... Cough, it's nothing."

Merlin: "... Then I really have to thank you, Arthur. Thank you very much for not letting that group of people come here to make trouble."

"However, you are again—a blackened saint, I didn't expect you to stand with Arthur, what's going on with this expression of wanting to burn me right now!"

The "Blackened Saint" glanced at him, as if she didn't notice the secret threat hidden by the magician's false smile, or in other words, even if she found out, she was quite qualified to ignore it.

There is no other reason, except that he is very powerful and confident——

Ellie was guarded by these two women, who were all a bit shorter than him, one behind the other, and Merlin could see that there was a look of helplessness and connivance on his face.

"Yeah - caught."

His tone of voice was also obviously intentional, with a long tail, completely devoid of the sense of crisis and the sadness that should be there.

"What should I do?" Airlie looked past the dumb hair on King Arthur's head, and looked at the Magician of Flowers who was a few meters away from him, "Before I go with you, I probably have to talk to Artoria, Miss Black Joan went back to chat, drink tea, re-cultivate the relationship or something..."

"Good idea!" Miss Hei-Jean immediately frowned, and said loudly, "I won't let this obtrusive magician succeed, want to go together? Hahahaha, that's impossible!"

Artoria's words were a little softer, but she also looked at Merlin with disapproving eyes: "I don't know why, I am very reluctant to let you...well, yes, it is indeed you who took Ellie away .”

Merlin: "..."

Airlie (trying to keep silent, but finally can't help it): "Pfft..."

Merlin: "I heard it, I definitely heard it, Al, are you kidding, right? Really - don't spoil these two women who are much older than you now! Even Alto Neither can Leah."

The situation remained stalemate.

After happily waiting for Ellie to come back—encountering the sudden arrival of the big devil Eddie—being beaten—chasing angrily—and finally catching up to this series of hard-sounding processes, hope is clearly in sight .

After a lot of effort, the flower magician who was able to take Ellie back to his "home" as he wished never expected that another wave of "devil kings" would arrive.

"After the group of people on Halloween, is there a super tricky lady this time... How many times does the story of the brave vs. the devil have to be played?"

"What is the Demon King of the Brave?"

"Oh, nothing. Just do it all over again."

Straight ahead, Merlin's expression suddenly became serious.

As "enemies" who were bound to prevent Merlin from taking Ellie away, the expressions of the "devil kings" also changed slightly.

They could sense that Merlin's aura had changed. It seemed that at this moment, he finally became serious and raised his staff high——

"The evil dragon, and the dragon witch, I, the magic Meili who protects love and justice, will defend justice here again and save my favorite companion and princess, the lovely magic Ellie!"

Artoria: "..."

Miss Black Joan: "What???"

Although they couldn't understand what this unreliable guy, Merlin, was talking nonsense at this time, the two of them still stood up and prepared to fight.Because, Merlin has already started to chant the spell!

"Bala, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah blah, blah blah blah blah, but it's okay, I've achieved my goal!"

"what?!"

Chanting so many useless mantras is actually just a blindfold.

The fundamental purpose is to use the cover of chanting mantras, and at the same time, to use the real cover-up.

Airlie, who was surrounded by women at first, suddenly disappeared.

Merlin, holding the staff, also disappeared.

"Oops... Merlin seems to have brought Airlie into Avalon!"

"...Damn magician! How shameless!!!"

*****

"Are you kidding me, Ellie, are you getting more and more cunning?"

Finally got his wish, when he walked into the boundless sea of ​​flowers with his favorite human being in his arms, he raised his head and asked with a smile.

This smile is no longer the perfunctory smile he used to be, and it is not the smile that was so forced that it was almost broken. On the contrary, it is more gentle, kinder and closer than before.

"No, I was really caught by them."

The human said calmly, and his eyes seemed to be quite sincere.

Alas, it really became cunning.

But - there is no way, just be cunning and cunning.After all, he has already been deceived once, and now he has learned his lesson and will not be deceived a second time.

"Hahaha~ Now, I'm the one who caught you." The magician said that, and couldn't help but tighten his hands.

"Yep."

Ellie was very calm, but his focus was inadvertently shifted to an unimportant place: "Well...it turned out not to be the ears."

"what?"

Merlin's footsteps stopped suddenly.

For some reason, Ellie lay on his body intently, her face almost touching his face—the reason why Ellie turned her head slightly at a critical moment, Focus on his face, not looking at his face at all.

Oh, it's not the face, it's the ear that needs to be moved a little to the side...?

Accompanied by the rise and fall of the chest, the subtle breath fell from the nose to Merlin's ear in the same rhythm.The hot and humid breath was partially blocked by the hair, but there was still some warmth, which filled the ear corridor unstoppably, causing the petal-shaped earrings to shake slightly.

Rocking, rocking, the end of one of the petals scratched the tip of Airlie's nose.

"...Mr. Merlin."

"Ok?"

"Your...ears are slowly turning red."

"Wh-oh, what unimportant place are you looking at? No, no, turn your head around quickly, I want to see your face."

The tone was as usual, and the voice was very stable, and there was nothing wrong with it.As simple as Ellie, being interrupted by him, he naturally ignored the amazing fact that "Merlin's ears turned red from suspicion of shyness".

It is unimaginable for a rogue like Merlin to show shyness—of course, there is only a moment when he is caught off guard, and soon he will recover, and he can put some "experience" in a certain aspect without blushing and heartbeating. "It played out.

Ellie turned her head obediently.

Surrounded by flowers, the four eyes meet.The clear blue eyes reflected the unpredictable purple eyes, Ellie thought to himself, basically he couldn't figure out what Merlin was thinking, but recently, there seemed to be a lot of exceptions.

At least, this time it can be clearly "seen".

"Mr. Merlin, my insignificant cunning is actually learned from you."

"How to say?"

"You are so cunning. Not only did you take advantage of the loophole quietly, but you also... want to drag me back from that quiet place?"

"What's the matter, I don't -- I don't understand what you're talking about."

The magician smiled and played dumb.

There is no need to explain, and no need to justify.

How should I say it?It seems that nothing is good.

As expected, he is still a "heterogeneous", fully aware of the fact that he is incompatible with the human world.

This person—the only human being he likes and wants to grab his hands is an exception, but it doesn't completely break the bottom line.

Sure enough, he was still selfish, he didn't intend to "walk over" by himself, but chose cunningly to "pull that person over".

Totally, pull it to your side.

"Honey~Ellie-chan~"

"...Why are you calling me that suddenly? I have a very bad feeling."

"What's wrong~ I just want to tell you that from now on, we will be inseparable. If you want to leave for a while, it doesn't matter, I will definitely go to you. There will be no exceptions, your future, It has been completely 'seen' by me."

"That's it, okay?"

"it is good."

"A promise so straightforward?"

"Do you think it's too easy, then I'll look for Arturia and Black Joan..."

"No! No! Don't look for it!"

……

"By the way, Allie-chan..."

"What's the matter... ah!"

The magician, who was so energetic before and carried someone on foot for about a few kilometers, suddenly fell down very "delicately".

It was also very coincidental that Ellie, who fell with him, was thrown into the cushion-like flowers by the fallen magician.

"I'm so tired all of a sudden, it's probably because...the magic power is not enough...Oops, I need to replenish the magic power..."

"Wait, wait, so suddenly?!"

Using blood to replenish magic is too inefficient, so don't even try it, just rule it out.

The second method, the method of exchanging saliva for replenishing magic, has been tried for a long time, and the unsatisfied magician wiped his mouth and continued to hum "weakly":

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..."

"........."

much later.

"Merlin... Teacher."

"uh-huh?"

"You—what a bastard!"
