Proposed by the most beautiful you in the world [Comprehensive]

The recent experience of being summoned did not seem to be particularly good at the beginning.

First, they faced the cliff prison with strong wind and rain, and then they climbed the most dangerous mountain peak under the blizzard... The time turns to the present.

Heroic spirits in uniform are fighting against poisonous snakes, scorpions, poisonous insects and so on in the desert.

Of course, these creatures that may be life-threatening to ordinary people are put in front of beings like Heroic Spirits, and they just need to spend a little more effort to chop them off with a sword.

And, you need to suffer some additional mental disturbance——

"Hey~ Be careful, a scorpion has climbed onto your feet!"

"Ah, that's too bad, Ellie, what you stepped on just now must be a snake's lair."

noise.

In this situation where you have to deal with the seemingly endless poisonous insects that have drowned the yellow sand in the desert, and you are not in the mood to say a word, no matter how gentle your voice is, it can only be classified as "noise" .

Fortunately, the person being harassed like this was Ellie.

Although Yingling felt that the guy who had to be carried behind him was too noisy, but he didn't have any thoughts of "letting go and throwing this person into the warm embrace of the scorpions".

That is to say, after working hard and killing a dense group of poisonous insects with a sword, he suddenly remembered a rather important question, and then opened his mouth with doubts:

"Speaking of which, isn't it more convenient to use magic to clear the field?"

Yes, that's the question - simple, rough and neat magic is not used, why does he have to let him slash with a sword?

But in the face of such sharp questions in essence, the explanation given by this person who was lying on Ellie's back with peace of mind and muttering is...

"Hahaha~ We are going to face a very difficult ordeal this time. I just came to this world. Wouldn't it be good for you to exercise your hands and muscles first?"

Airlie: "..."

I always feel that there is a big problem with this rhetoric, but I can't point out the specific problem, so I can only respond in silence.

He also stopped talking to this person, and continued to chop up the bugs with a sullen head.

Since there was an extra heavy object hanging on his body like a koala on his back, Ellie had to put his left hand behind his back to support the man from time to time, leaving only his right hand holding the sword, standing in the sea of ​​insects. waving in.

In view of the fact that the description of the picture is likely to cause discomfort to patients with trypsophobia, the specific struggle process is omitted here.

The noisy voice stopped for a while in the middle, but it soon resumed in a chant-like tone. Airlie didn't listen very carefully, but what is certain is that the man was generally regretting that he was killed. Robe stained with purple blood splattered from the venomous bug's split body.

"Alright, alright, we're about to break out of the encirclement—come on, come on!"

When the voice sounded, Ellie had already found out without his reminding.

At any rate, there is no end to this desert, where there are many poisonous insects hidden in it. Ellie saw from a distance an extremely wide river that separated the desert from the forest on the other side. The wooden bridge originally used to cross the river seemed to be Corroded by time, it has been broken so that only the piece of driftwood on the shore remains.

well.

Ellie had calculated the shortest path in his mind, so he planned to rush over at the fastest speed.

It is conceivable that after all these tossing, his physical strength has been exhausted. If the magician behind watching the fun hadn't forgotten to throw a few booster magics from time to time, the two of them would have been buried by bugs long ago.

"Come on, the last two steps—one step—hey!"

Airlie finally stepped onto the piece of driftwood that was barely afloat.

His steps were extraordinarily light. Even though he was still carrying someone on his back, it seemed that there was no weight at all. It only made the surface of the water sink slightly, creating ripples like snowflakes.

However, just when victory is in sight and he can cross the long river by stepping on the water in no time!

In the swarm of insects that had been left behind, a poisonous insect with wings suddenly flew out. Its sharp claws and beak that shone with strange colors were poisonous at first glance.

Seeing that this aggressive insect was about to pounce behind them——

"boom!"

Someone hanging behind Airlie as a pendant miraculously pulled out his staff, slapped the bug back to the shore with an extremely powerful momentum, and then miraculously retracted the staff.

This series of actions flowed smoothly without any delay, and it was extremely pleasing to the eye.

It's a pity that no one can appreciate this scene.

Ellie stepped on the waves and rushed to the opposite bank in one go, and leaned against the tree closest to him in the next second, and was almost so tired that he fell face down to the ground.

But the guy who was taller and stronger than him, and who was carrying quite a lot of luggage, finally stood refreshed on the moist soil with the fragrance of rain and dew.

"Well, yes, it's finally out of danger."

The man stretched his arms, rubbed his slightly sore shoulders, finally bent down, and gently supported the corner of his clothes that was stuck to the strange purple liquid with his palms. The stains disappeared immediately, and the original white color returned.

"Thank you for your hard work, my dear~Al~~~Li~~~"

Saying so, he slapped his backhand—very precisely on the back of Heroic Spirit, who was still holding on to the tree stump and breathing heavily.

Ellie fell.

At this moment, he really fell face down into the ground, and when the culprit who stretched out the evil palm just now exclaimed and pulled him up, the beautiful and smooth long blue hair is now extremely messy, and there are still A lot of weed leaves fell.

"enough."

The heroic spirit who straightened up again showed no obvious expression changes on his face as before, but when he turned his eyes to the culprit extremely slowly, the other party saw a flash of sharpness from those calm eyes. light—

"Merlin, you - idiot."

The end of the sentence is a full stop, not an exclamation point, but the meaning he wants to express is conveyed bit by bit.

"... Huh? Did I hear you right? It really did say 'Merlin, you - idiot'?"

Ellie: "Yeah."

"—God!"

The person who received an absolutely affirmative answer seemed to have received a great shock—no, not so much a shock, but rather an "impure shock mixed with something similar to gratification."

"I have to admit, I'm a little sad, Al." The magician, who still had a gentle smile like a spring breeze on his face and couldn't see where the sadness was, said leisurely with a sigh.

That's right, the tall, burly and shameless man standing beside Ellie at this time, who had been acting as a pendant on his back for more than an hour, is the legendary mentor of the king, the mysterious flower magician Merlin .

...Although the reality is far crueler than imagined, there is no doubt that the man in front of him, the long-haired magician in gorgeous robes and shaggy white hair, who beat innocent poisonous insects with his staff not long ago, is indeed Merlin himself. wrong.

"I found out, Al, it's been a long time since I saw you, and you've improved a lot."

The magician was silent for a moment, and finally said: "You in the past would never say such rude words, ah, a corner of the perfect and pure image collapsed, how heartbreaking—by the way, it is the most heartbreaking moment at this moment. The proper word is not 'stupid', but 'bastard' will have a better impact on people."

"Okay." Airlie: "Merlin, you—asshole."

Having said that, it seems to be a lot smoother and a lot more fun.

However, the little bit of dissatisfaction caused by Meilin pitting him later disappeared.

Ellie returned to normal and seriously apologized to the magician: "I'm sorry, I recently set a goal to work hard to learn various ways to express emotions. I am currently in the practice period. If there is something wrong, you can point it out to me directly. ?"

"Of course you can."

said the magician with a smile.

"Learn the rich emotions that human beings have, and enrich yourself—this is a very important carving process. Of course, there is no problem. Leave it to me, and I will try my best to teach you."

Anyone who meets a magician for the first time, or is just getting along with him, feels this way.

The magician's appearance and special temperament, which blends human and nightmare characteristics, will not be an obstacle to create a sense of isolation.

He is a sage who knows everything, and anyone can relax in front of him who seems to have the power to calm people's hearts.The magician's smile is even more gentle, giving people a feeling of reassurance and warmth that can be completely entrusted to him.

Just like now, the magician smiled and stared at him.

"..."

Ellie glanced at him silently, and then looked away without any trace: "No need. I think self-study is fine."

"You rejected me so decisively?!"

--OK OK.

Let's put aside the matter that dealt another blow to the Flower Magician.

Let's flashback first, the cause and effect of Ellie and Merlin getting together again after a hundred years.

As mentioned before, Ellie in the Hall of Valor, as long as he hears the call, no matter who it is, he will respond.

It was the same this time—although, before going, he hesitated for a moment for the first time, and then complied with the call under the constant urging.

When he arrived at the side of the contractor, and saw who that guy was, the reason for hesitation was self-evident, and it was directly on the surface.

"Well, well, that's right, I am the one who summoned you."

"Isn't anyone able to summon you? So of course I can too. Hey, why do you feel that your mood has suddenly become subtle? Shouldn't you be very excited and happy to see me as the old teacher again?"

Ellie: "..."

Excited... a little bit, but happy, it seems that there is really no.

Considering the mood of this old man whom he hadn't seen for many years, Ellie paused, decided to skip this topic, and asked directly: "What's the matter?"

To be honest, he never thought he would see Merlin again before this.

It's not because I hate him that I don't want to see him, but because of the conditions, the possibility of reunion is almost zero.

The last time they met was in Britain, and that time also symbolized parting.After that day, Airlie stayed, while Merlin left alone, went to Avalon, locked himself in confinement, and couldn't leave since then.

It stands to reason that Merlin, who should still be trapped in Avalon, not only came out, but also called Ellie out of the Hall of Valor—no matter how I think about it, I feel that the motive is not pure, and something big is about to happen.

"That's right, it was supposed to be like this. But for some special reason, it quietly ran out in one way or another. Well, it's temporary."

For Airlie's confusion, Merlin explained so casually.

"Well...so that's the case, then, let's take this opportunity to breathe." Ellie never understood Merlin's thoughts, so he could only say so dryly.

He was more concerned about another thing.

"This is not the world we are familiar with...how did you come here?"

Merlin: "Heh~"

As expected, the most important key reason was skipped by him with a haha.

"Let me tell you the reason why I called you here first. Al, only you can do this job." Merlin said a little more seriously.

"Huh?" Airlie, who became serious because of his seriousness, looked serious.

Merlin: "Ahem, look, look at him and you will understand—"

……

a baby.

……

No matter how you look at it, it's still a baby.

……

Well, the gender is male, the age is between four months and six to seven months, and the hair color and eye color are both black... a baby.

A ripple finally appeared on Airlie's calm face.

"what is this?"

"Human babies in infancy."

Airlie: "Well, I know."

The change in mood at this time was so obvious that others could clearly distinguish it. The corners of his mouth trembled slightly, and his eyes slowly opened wide—it was full of astonishment and imperceptible panic.

"What I want to ask is—why, hand me the baby?"

There is no doubt that there is no possibility of misreading.

What appeared in Merlin's hands was the baby wrapped in swaddling clothes.

When Airlie looked over with wide-eyed eyes, the baby just raised its fragile eyelids, revealing black and shiny eyes, and now it can be seen from this pink and tender little face that it will have quite outstanding facial features when it grows in the future.

The baby looked at Airlie with round eyes too.

The child seemed to have just woken up from a dream. When he saw a stranger, he didn't cry or make a fuss. He only squeaked after looking at him.

Human cubs at this age do not yet have the ability to express themselves with voice, and body language is even more lacking.But from the black eyes that suddenly lit up, one could see the full of hope and longing.

"Look, this child wants to be hugged by you more than to force me to hug him."

Airlie: "..."

"No, wait, wait a minute."

He froze all of a sudden, and couldn't help but took a step back, as if he was going to continue to retreat.

"I've never been in contact with this kind of... little baby..."

Merlin didn't expect that as soon as the target person was released, Ellie was already scared and ran back. However, this did not mean that he would give up his original plan.

"Don't run, don't run, oops, why didn't you find out that you are so afraid of children in the past? It doesn't matter, come and take a closer look, this child is so cute."

It's just a devilish persuasion.

Al used the silence and took another step back in an instant to answer: Before Merlin gave a proper and reasonable explanation, he would definitely not take a step forward.

"Ugh."

Merlin sighed again: "Not only has my personality changed a bit, but it's even harder to deceive than before—huh? Did I say something, nothing at all. What I said is, Al, you are right up to hundreds of years old. The indiscriminate allure of a few months of human beings can come in handy here, and I'm like, maybe, maybe, really bad at raising kids."

After talking so much nonsense, it was only now that Merlin told Ellie the real truth.

To put it simply, it is actually just a few words, but in terms of its essence, it is actually related to the life and death of this world.

The heroic spirit brought by Merlin, whose real name is Uchiha Madara, can be regarded as one of the most powerful ninjas in history in the current ninja world they are in, so it can be seen that the background is not small.

Of course, Uchiha Madara, who became the strongest ninja-is a grown-up adult, and cannot be a baby who can't even say this.

Then the key question comes.

Because of an accident that no one knows, Uchiha Madara, who was supposed to be born in this world and grow into an important figure, was not born.

It is equivalent to saying that because of an accident, there is no such person as Uchiha Madara on the historical line.

"Let me say this, Al, you should be the person who is most able to realize the seriousness of the problem, after all, you have experienced similar things."

"Uchiha Madara is a very important person in this world. It is so important that if he hadn't been born, countless important nodes in the future will not appear as usual, and the turning point in history will also not happen."

"If there is no Uchiha Madara, the 'fate' belonging to countless people will be completely overturned, and this world will naturally collapse and be destroyed. Haha, although it is just a different world that has nothing to do with us, if it is destroyed like this, it will still be It's a pity, I happened to pass by here, so I helped you out~"

His "doing me a favor" means that he got out Uchiha Madara who should have been born smoothly, raised him and sent him back.

By the way, the time they are currently in is the time when Uchiha Madara should have appeared-more than 100 years later.

Merlin put a dummy made of Uchiha Madara in the "past", let the dummy go through the plot step by step according to the trajectory of fate, and then exchange it back when the real Uchiha Madara grows up here.

Um?Why not just put the real baby Uchiha Madara he got out of it back to the era he should be in?

This still has to be asked of Merlin.

"Of course it's because—ah, actually, I want to make an insignificant attempt. Since it's too insignificant, I won't explain it in detail. You'll know it later."

As mentioned above, Merlin deliberately called Airlie for his "insignificant" attempt.

Its purpose is obvious.

Just to help him raise!child!son!

"What? Don't you want to? You promised to fulfill your master's wish? Don't treat differently, my Al!"

Ellie looked at Merlin with complicated eyes.

You can't say you don't want to.

He's just... really not used to creatures like babies.

Not only too little exposure, but also underlying psychological factors.The newborn who just came to this world has a natural pure soul, which attracts him, but makes him subconsciously afraid to touch it.

It's too fragile, too soft, and it always feels like it will break if you touch it lightly.

Merlin: "I haven't had much contact, and I haven't had any children of my own. It's normal to be rejected. Hmm—that's fine, let's practice it in advance and gain some experience?"

Airlie: "...This kind of experience is of no use to me."

That being said, no matter how slight changes he made, the essence would remain the same. After struggling for a while, he reluctantly agreed.

——What happened after this is what we saw at the beginning, bravely crossing the desert and crossing the long river.

By the way, Merlin claimed that he hadn't been out for a long time and was seriously exhausted, so he had to let Ellie carry it on his back.

The baby happened to be guarded by Merlin, so it passed through the pile of poisonous insects unscathed.

"Successfully raising this child named Uchiha Madara is the most difficult difficulty we have faced. I propose to be his teacher and teach him to be a qualified king—no, a qualified ninja. As for learning Other aspects, only rely on you, and..."

Ellie following Merlin: "Is there anyone else?"

Merlin turned his back to him, and couldn't see his expression clearly, but he was probably smiling: "Yes, although I feel relieved to have Ellie here, but~ I have learned a lesson, the education of children should not only be the teacher, but also need to be accompanied Grown up parents."

"Mom, Dad, plus a... brother?"

Merlin took Ellie to the depths of the forest.

Passing through many dense and towering trees, the forest that was obscured by the shade of the trees suddenly brightened up, and the eyes suddenly opened up.

There is a clear lake in the middle of the forest.

And beside the lake, stands a wooden house.

Ellie had just arrived here, and felt vaguely familiar with this place, but couldn't recall where he had seen it before.Immediately afterwards, Merlin led him to the wooden house and motioned him to open the door.

Airlie: "...?"

Although puzzled, he still put his hand on the wooden door.

With just a slight push, the door moves back, fully revealing the scene inside the house.

Someone is already in there.

In front of the window, the man sat on a chair made of knotted knots, just bathed in the golden light that penetrated the space of the window.

The hair shrouded in that soft light is a more brilliant golden color. He originally had his eyes closed, but when there was a sound outside the door, it was at the right time.

Slowly opened his eyes.

There seemed to be a strange look in the red eyes, but it quickly returned to calm.

He stood up, fixed his eyes on Ellie behind the door, and walked straight to this side without turning around.

then.

Unfortunately, it was preempted by a figure running from the side.

flutter--

The person who ran over happily and hugged Heroic Spirit's waist also had blond hair and red eyes, but he looked like an innocent and lovely child like an angel.

In the astonished eyes of Ellie looking down, the young boy raised his face and showed an extremely bright smile to Ellie.

"Surely you know who I am, Al?"

Afterwards, the smile shrank a little, and replaced it with a heartbreaking sadness.

He raised his hand distressedly, and touched Heroic Spirit's unscathed chest:

"Does it still hurt? It's all because of that grown-up. I'm too stupid and rude. Come on, let me blow it up for you..."

Even so, after the child tried to raise his head higher, he crossed his chest without hesitation—just a little bit near the corner of Ellie's mouth, and kissed him.
