The Adventure Story of the Devil, the Maid, and the Hero

"Spend the rest of your life in a sparsely populated forest of mist, or take the risk of finding a solution that doesn't exist at the cost of accelerating the passage of life." She smiled, looking at the girl with a hesitant face, "Let's say it first, the fate of the two of you has been shared and become the same thing, so it is meaningless to make different choices."

Destiny...?

Something that used to be so invisible, so vague and uncertain; something that once followed like a shadow, and made up his mind to use all our strength to resist.

Now, it doesn't seem to be that important anymore.

"It doesn't matter to me," Giulia looked at Tifa beside her, and said softly, "As long as I can be with Tifa, I'm satisfied."

No matter where she is or where she is going, as long as she is not alone, as long as she is by her side, that is enough.

Even the Moon Elf couldn't help but smile wryly at her childish words: "You really are so innocent."

"Actually, I don't really want you to say that."

Giulia looked at the elf on the young girl's appearance and muttered with a complicated expression.

"Oh," Diona looked at her with kindness, "But I can't even remember how old I am."

"Live for a long time may not be a good thing." Diona looked at the girl in front of her suddenly lowered her head, her voice lowered a bit, "Many complicated things will become simple, and simple things will become complicated."

"Is this from experience?"

The Moon Elf, who couldn't even remember her own age, looked at the little girl who was only a little over ten years old with a serious look on her face, and asked with a smile.

"Yes," Giulia nodded earnestly, and said to her after hesitating for a while, "Don't you...don't you feel lonely?"

"Lonely?"

Diona whispered softly.

That is, a noun that has long since faded from memory.

How long has it been since you didn't care about this kind of thing?

Now that it is mentioned, it is only in the depths of the sea of ​​memory that some memories related to it can be found.At the same time, she also recalled the long past, the caring words of the family members who were gently touching the top of their heads and smiling sincerely.

It's not that there was no sense of loneliness from the beginning, it's just——

"Are you used to it...?"

This is roughly the case with all things, get used to it, and then become imperceptible.

Most of the time, it is probably only when you realize that you are about to lose and have just lost something, that you will be extremely aware of its importance to yourself.

Inselt, this continent, is probably the same.

"...Really." Giulia lowered her head sadly, but then raised her head to look at Tifa, and said cautiously, with a hint of asking for instructions, "However, if it is possible, I, that... I still want to find a better solution.”

"me too."

Tifa said with a smile, and at the same time raised her hand to caress the top of her head very gently.

"It's not Luna."

Giulia muttered a little embarrassedly, but she didn't dodge it.

"Is this your decision?" Diona said, "Then, let's find the Book of Zero."

"May you be protected by the gods." Diona saluted and chanted Wu Chang's spell, "Probably, we will never meet again."

Giulia thought, if the gods really existed in the world, then perhaps she would have heard her prayers long ago that she didn't even remember.

After the milky white light completely dimmed, Giulia realized belatedly that she forgot to ask the most important question.

"Wait, what "Book of Zero"?" She looked at the place where the light disappeared. "At least tell me where to find it."

The place where the Moon Elf was originally standing was no longer there, so naturally she couldn't respond to her.

"It's really irresponsible."

Giulia complained dissatisfiedly, and leaned back on the chair, leaning her chin against the edge of the table and squinting her eyes.

"Well, probably as she said before, they are also restricted by the rules."

Tifa sat back in her chair, too, and excused Diona while stretching her limbs.

As a result, nothing was actually resolved.

If you have to use an analogy, it's just changing the original death penalty into a death sentence with reprieve.The number of prisoners who need to be sentenced has also increased from one to two, and the situation may even be regarded as deteriorating.

But at least there's time -- and a way forward.

"By the way, do you still have a fever?"

Thinking of the situation before the exchange, Giulia looked at Tifa with some concern.

"It doesn't matter, it's much better, this level is not a big deal."

Tifa smiled, looking not in bad spirits.

"It's just that the cookies don't taste so sweet." She reached out and picked up a cookie that was just put on the table by the familiar, and took a bite, "It's a pity."

Even so, she took care of the cookie in twos and twos, and turned her head to Giulia while extending her hand to the next piece.

"Is that...the so-called 'cell phone'?"

Her gaze was fixed on the small pure white metal product in Yulia's hand.

Giulia nodded slightly.

"How did you bring the creations from the other world?" Tifa watched with interest as her fingers moved up and down the screen. "It's still in a usable state."

Giulia's eyes turned from the screen to Tifa, and said a little embarrassedly: "Because, this is...'Sword of the Brave'."

"Hey?"

Tifa looked surprised.

"That's right, that's it... At that time, someone told me that the items that were originally carried with me, the longer the contact time, and the higher the value, the easier it was to be selected as the sword of the brave and be summoned together. It seems to be so." Qi Li Ya stared at the mobile phone in his hand, "Although I was affected by the spell, most of the original functions were still usable because of this, and thanks to this, I was able to maintain a bit of calm in the original situation. "

"...Well, I vaguely felt that you seemed to have a subtle emphasis on that ordinary-looking staff. I thought it was because of some special meaning--although it doesn't look like it now. It's so wrong." Tifa stared at the white phone in Yulia's hand, feeling a little emotional, "It's the first time for me to really see it."

"Tifa can also be used, after all, we are now, that--'Community of Destiny', so my things are also Tifa's." Giulia said without hesitation, and then saw each other all of a sudden After the eyes lit up, he added weakly, "But, please don't look through favorites and file management—at least not now."

"Well, I promise you."

Tifa smiled like a fox seeing a chicken.

They tacitly stopped talking about the road ahead, the future...all kinds of uncertain things.

Even a false peace is still peace, not to mention the present peace is so real.

Truth can calm down the turbulent mind together, so quiet that no one can bear to break it.

Even if you have to run around for your destiny immediately, and turn around in various places, what you are waiting for may be a dangerous and evil state that is endlessly erratic.

But at least for now—no need to dwell on the past, no need to worry about the future; no need to be bored by chores, no need to worry about yourself.

Only now.

The author has something to say:

As of now, the college entrance examination has ended.

Students of the same grade from other schools in the same city, compared to you, it has been a long holiday.

However, Timon's school does not have a college entrance examination center, so the college entrance examination holiday is not allowed, only the high school entrance examination holiday is allowed, so tomorrow is just the beginning.

Along with the significantly shorter vacation compared to other schools, there is also the usual practice—piles of papers.

The monthly exam is over after the holiday, and it is said that after that, I will have to attend more than 20 consecutive days of classes to make up for the middle school exam leave.

ε(┬┬﹏┬┬)3 Timeng really wants to go back to the past, to wake up the ignorant self who came to this school.

There is still class tomorrow morning, so, good night, meowノ (lay down).
