Are you with Dazai today?

Chris stepped on the familiar concrete ground. He once fought here, and also experienced the first camping experience in his life. Now that he thinks about it, he doesn’t have emotions such as emotion. Now he is stronger than he imagined. To be calm, breathe slowly and step quietly.

He adjusted his body shape. It was obviously a dilapidated body, but Chris didn't feel any pain at this time. Perhaps he was numb due to too many wounds, but he thought that his state had never been as good as it is now. better off.

Judging from the height of the moon and the color of the sky, he should be asleep now, and Gloria is also easy to find, because she must be beside 'myself'.

Then things will be easy to handle, and everything will be so smooth.

"Gloria, are you there?"

"I'm here."

Gloria suddenly appeared, hanging upside down like a female ghost with an exaggerated expression.

"Oh, oh, this uninvited guest, if there is nothing else, please leave here quickly, otherwise I will..."

Gloria's voice trailed off, then suddenly rose again.

"Chris?!"

Chris, who had seen it for a long time, had covered his ears at this time, and he nodded calmly.

"Well, it's me."

Gloria didn't speak for a long time. She gently touched Chris' cheek with her cool fingertips. The smooth and soft skin seemed to have been splashed with sulfuric acid at this time. It was even worse after being splashed with sulfuric acid, and Chris couldn't be seen from the outside at all. If Gloria hadn't been familiar with Chris's magic power, she wouldn't have been able to recognize him immediately.

After seeing each other, everything became clear. With such an injury, the whole body seemed to be dissolved. How could such an injury be caused? She will definitely be able to do it.

"Does it hurt..."

"It hurts a lot."

Like a child acting like a baby, Chris let Gloria touch his skin, because it was the last time, a little willfulness can be forgiven, right?

"Sorry, although I'm good at destroying things, I'm terrible at repairing things other than myself."

"Well, it doesn't matter, because I don't care, I came here to say a word to Gloria."

That heart obviously stopped beating a long time ago, but Gloria now felt her heart beating uncontrollably, as if she had really transformed back into a human body, and the blood that had cooled down was also flowing, Gloria Rhea longed to hear what Chris had to say, but feared that it wasn't what she thought.

Chris showed the small dagger in his hand like offering a treasure.

"I'm here to kill you."

Joy, unstoppable joy surged up, laughter leaked out of her throat uncontrollably, Gloria tried her best to control the expression on her face, but the words she wanted to hear for thousands of years echoed in her ears, that How can this kind of joy be easily suppressed!

"Heh...haha, is that right, yes, the future me chose to die, ahahaha——"

Chris watched the crazy Gloria calmly, and he was not surprised by Gloria's reaction.

"Gloria, you must have gone crazy."

"My mother once told me that long life is not a blessing, but a curse. It's fine if you are a machine without emotions, but since you are a life with emotions, you must not be able to stand the baptism of time."

Chris took Gloria's hand.

"Although it's too late for me to say this as a bystander, but you, you must be in pain."

"If the effect of the dagger you said is true, if this dagger can really make you disappear, I will do it."

After watching Gloria's life, Chris only felt that she was pathetic. The long time could not leave traces of time on her body, but the eternity that could not be discarded and the unbearable loneliness could destroy his spirit.

The individual 'Gloria' has reached its limit, and letting her continue will only increase the pain.

"...I thought you would resent me."

After venting her joy, Gloria, like a future Gloria, doesn't look away from Chris' eyes.

"There is nothing to resent, Gloria, you just didn't choose me. This is the choice you made yourself. I respect you, so... I will kill you. The problem is, the me over there How to explain it?"

This is the most distressing question for Chris at the moment. He doesn't feel that 'he' can accept Gloria's death so easily.

"No...about this..."

"You don't want to be killed without telling 'me'?"

"what……"

Seeing Gloria's guilty look, Chris knew that she really didn't think about anything. Thinking of this, Chris kicked Gloria's calf hard. This time, he used all his strength, unlike before. A few times, it was just a few light kicks in a complaining nature.

Just hearing a [click], Gloria's calf and leg bones were broken, but the injury was quickly repaired by her own self-healing ability.

"You really, if you want to leave, say goodbye to me! Don't act like a child to me, you are an adult, you are already a grandmother, aren't you?"

"What...! Granny? Chris, you actually called me grandma, blah blah, it's too much, she's always a young girl in body and mind!"

Chris stared dead, not being fooled by Gloria's diversion, he elbowed Gloria.

"Let me go!"

"Hey... hey!! Why is this, I'm not ready yet, wait don't push me, I'll go, I'll just go!"

Gloria was half-pushed by Chris, like a cat forced to go to the bath, reluctantly, huh?Think this metaphor is too weird?There is no such thing, it is your illusion.

"I heard everything you said."

The sudden sound made Gloria's body stiff, and she turned her head back after a pause. [Chris], who was supposed to be sleeping peacefully in the sleeping bag, had already woken up at this moment, seeing the disbelief in Gloria's eyes. After believing it, [Chris] was a little upset.

[Chris] I've been listening almost from the beginning, the conversation between these two people is very informative but easy to understand, even if it sounds outrageous, it doesn't look like Gloria is joking, so [Chris] I can only believe it.

"Such a big movement, only Reinhardt, who was not vigilant, didn't wake up."

Here I have to justify Reinhardt's name. As a poor man who is hunted down every day, his vigilance will definitely not be worse than Chris, or even stronger. After all, there is a big knife hanging on his head. I don't know. When will it fall down and become your own guillotine? In the situation where the hound will appear at any time, if you are not vigilant, you will have died many times.

When Tina was constantly thinking about the live broadcast in his head, Reinhardt really didn't think he should "wake up". It's the future and time travel, so don't say it casually outside. I don't know how many magicians will be crazy about the field of 'magic'.

Who is it that is not vigilant?

"Too bad."

"Well, it's really too bad."

Regarding [Chris]'s evaluation, Chris fully agrees with himself the day before. The two have no sympathy for Gloria, who has been hit hard and turned into a white piece of paper, and even ruthlessly made up a few more knives .

"An irresponsible adult."

"It's just that I lived a long time but didn't grow up psychologically at all."

"big liar."

"Crybaby."

"...Huh? Crybaby?"

Chris walked up to [Chris] from the day before, and whispered in his ear, and [Chris] from the day before also accepted it well, neither curious about what happened, nor concerned about what happened to Chris. What is the evaluation of the embarrassed look.

"Let me tell you, Gloria actually hugged her knees and cried alone. She is obviously hundreds of years old."

"What a shame..."

"Wow! You are not Chris, where did my obedient and obedient child go?!"

"It didn't exist in the first place."

"Isn't it the sad delusion of adults?"

"Woooooo-"

Under the siege of two people's poisonous tongues, Gloria turned on the autistic mode.

"Too much—! This is bullying!"

"Haha."

"Ah."

The so-called slapstick is just to cover up the reluctance in her heart. As a cunning adult, Gloria can certainly see this little thought of Chris, and she can only sigh softly in her heart, unable to make any compensation. The temptation of death is too great, even the child she likes very much can't stop her.

Not anyone, not even a lover, not even a beloved child.

The entrustment of the Holy Grail has been conveyed, and I believe that my past self will be able to make the right choice to prevent the polluted Holy Grail from causing huge disasters.

In the end, it is very simple, just need to stab it down. This may be the easiest kill for Chris. The person who was killed is willing to have no resistance. Of course, Chris knows where to cut to reduce the time of death. pain.

"Then as a farewell gift, I offer my wisdom as a gift and blessing."

Memories flooded into my mind like a flood, and there was a momentary tingling in my head, but it disappeared quickly.

"I will share my knowledge with you, but only where 'in sight'"

You can understand it when you see it, and it might be the best gift Gloria could have given.

If he stabbed down, everything would be over, his Holy Grail War ended under this stab, and Gloria's expression was unprecedentedly calm.

Damn it.

"Chris, please live."

Ahhh, it sucks, I was seen through, what a cunning lord.

Gloria's words were both a curse and a blessing, just because she said she wanted him to live, how could he refuse.

"Well, I promise you."

Guilty innocents (reusinnocentes) effect activated——

……

"Reinhardt, tsk, don't die!"

When he opened his eyes again, Chris saw the familiar scenery, where the Holy Grail descended, and now he has double memories in his mind, one is the original memory, and the other is the changed time The memory of the line, holding the dagger given by Gloria in his hand, it has not disappeared with the change of timeline and Gloria's death.

Chris soon couldn't care about the two memories in his head, because Reinhardt's abdomen was torn apart, and his intestines were exposed in the air. If his chest was not still rising and falling slightly, Chris thought he was already dead.

"It's a lie...why? I thought it had been changed, which step was wrong?"

Gloria's gift told him the correct information. In that space, the state of matter will not be changed by the distortion of time, so Reinhardt's injury is real, even if the past is changed, there is no way Restored like Chris's body.

"I can't live like this..."

Although Tina is a nun, she has nothing to do with healing. Like Gloria, they are better at destroying things than repairing them.

"I don't want to die..."

A faint voice sounded, and Chris's mind was in a mess, what to do, what to do? !

"Do you want to live? Do you really don't want to die, but do you really want to live?"

The black nun leaned closer to Reinhardt, whispering softly like a demon's persuasion.

"Isn't that nonsense? How many times have I said that I don't want to die, and if I really want to die, I won't escape from hunting again and again."

"I see, hey, Gloria's kid, you can help too."

"What... help? How can I help?"

Chris really can't think of what ability he has to heal Reinhardt. All he can do is physically bandage, not to mention that he doesn't even have a bandage on his hand now.

"It's okay, don't show such a vigilant expression, it's just a small operation, I want to turn the Holy Grail into a power furnace, that is, it will become a heart, anyway, you don't need the Holy Grail, right?"

"But the Holy Grail...!"

Chris knew that the Holy Grail had been polluted. What would be the consequences of experimenting with the polluted Holy Grail?Chris couldn't imagine it.

"Yeah, I don't know what the consequences will be, but I can be sure that Reinhardt's life can be saved. You see, he himself has no objections."

Reinhardt nodded slightly but firmly.

"...I see, what do I need to do?"

"It's nothing, don't worry, it's just a small favor, give me control of your magic power and use it on these gems of mine."

This is very simple. It is not uncommon to be able to release magic gems just by instilling magic power, but there are few people like Tina who have such a large number of gems. I froze for a moment.

Neither of them had a doctor's certificate, and the patient was lying on the dirty floor with many germs. If a real doctor came to see the operation site, he would definitely show a painful expression, because it was too informal.

Irregularity is not formality. Unexpectedly, the black nun really pulled Reinhardt back from the death line. During this process, Chris observed that the black tattoo-like thing on Reinhardt's hand gradually dissolved. , as if entering his body.

it should be no problem?

Chris thought uncertainly, since Tina at the side didn't say anything, then there shouldn't be any problem.

After confirming that Reinhardt's body was slowly healing and that his life was not in danger, the two of them relaxed. Chris was not as familiar with Tina as Reinhardt and Gloria were, so the relationship between the two The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

"Did Gloria say anything at the end?"

"Huh? Oh!"

Chris, who was called by name suddenly, was taken aback for a moment, and then said to Tina cautiously.

"She asked me...that...to say sorry to you..."

"That's it...tsk, that bastard."

The nun clicked her tongue impatiently, but Chris remained silent. Chris felt that he was not qualified to intervene or comfort anyone when it came to the relationship between the two.

"Ha... Huh... Tina... What do you want to do after this?"

Reinhardt's injury has almost recovered. Although it is still difficult to speak, he still tries to speak the words he made up intermittently.

"For me, I really want to have some fun, and then I don't know when the magic power will be exhausted and it will disappear. I still prefer someone, so I'm sorry."

"Tina, I use the command spell to order that you are not allowed to take the initiative to kill people out of boredom or other excuses."

"Yes—yes—you are really worried about me."

During the Holy Grail War, Reinhardt did not use a Command Seal once. After saying this, the bright red Command Seal on the back of his hand disappeared by a third.

"Tina, I once again command with the Command Seal, do what you like, except killing people."

"……what?"

Abundant magic power filled Tina's body.

"Tina, I finally ordered with the Command Seal, do what you like besides killing people."

Now, there is no Command Seal on the back of Reinhardt's hand, which also means that the connection between the two people due to the Command Seal has completely disappeared.

"This is really..."

The level of magic power is unprecedentedly sufficient, and the benefits brought by the two command spells may be greater than Reinhardt imagined. At this time, I thought it could only last for a few days, but now it is probably enough for her to stay in the world for a while.

"Then I have to return the gift."

Tina gently placed a cross pendant in Reinhardt's palm.

"You are obviously...just an unscrupulous nun...you still wear a cross..."

"...Do you want to experience the feeling of dying again?"

"Sorry I was wrong, I didn't want to at all."

"Then, we will meet again by fate, although we don't think we will meet again."

After saying this, the pitch-black nun disappeared in front of the two of them.

"gone……"

Chris knelt down and poked Reinhardt.

"Yeah... I'm leaving..."

Reinhardt smiled helplessly.

"Anyway, can you help me up first? It's quite cold on the ground."

Our Holy Grail War is over.

……

"You, you have to be hospitalized even though you're completely fine. Is it okay with Einzbern?"

Chris was struggling with apples, and it was a great shame that his dexterous hands could not peel rabbit apples when killing people.

"It's okay, there is no problem over there for the time being, if it doesn't work, I can still sneak away, I won't lose if I run away, and...you don't need to peel apples anymore!"

Reinhardt, who was forced to eat several failed products, swore that he didn't want to see the apple again these days.

"Tsk."

"Did you click your tongue just now?"

"Your illusion."

"But having said that, let me tell you, I found that I can control the ability to travel through time and space better than before. Not only short-distance travel, but even travel in different worlds is also possible!"

"Oh."

Reinhardt was a little disappointed by Chris's bland reaction.

"You should be more surprised, this involves time and space, magic!"

"Uh... so?"

"So let's travel! And avoid Einzbern by the way!"

"and many more."

Chris interrupts the babbling Reinhardt.

"us?"

"Yes, didn't we agree? We want to travel together."

"Ha - you are serious about what you said."

Chris let out a long sigh. He thought it was just Reinhardt's whim, but he didn't expect him to be serious.

"I really can't beat you."

"So, is there any place you recommend?"

"Yeah, let me think about it... I am very interested in the race that Gloria said used to hunt her. I wonder if I can go there and have a look."

There was a faint smile on Chris's face that he hadn't noticed.

"Then you need to plan carefully! Well... I don't know if I can complete the positioning, but first..."

Thanks to Reinhardt, Chris went to many places and saw the race that Gloria mentioned. As for him and Reinhardt being hunted down by that race as soon as they came up, it was another matter.

Then, a few years later, Reinhardt and Chris separated, to be precise, Chris left quietly alone, because Chris's runaway made him realize that he was no longer the original self, and his body was severely damaged. Luria's space changed and turned into a complete monster. Chris, who couldn't bear it, chose to separate from Reinhardt.

After turning around, he came to a place called "SCP Foundation", and said to the panicked ordinary employees through the wall, 'Can I live here?will pay for accommodation. Chris was placed in a room, and from time to time he would see various "neighbors" fleeing, and he would help out when he was in a good mood.

It was just a mistake that caused Chris, who didn't understand the opponent's rules of action, to have his neck broken by that 'little peanut'.

What a shame...

'Crack! '

Crisp applause sounded, and the film began to show the cast members.

"...Apparently there was a part that was not played just now, right? The last part..."

"Hey! Don't worry about so many details, so now, how do you feel?"

"Huh—it's just awful."

Shiinagawa pressed his temple, with a helpless expression on his face.

"Because Gloria said at that time that she wanted me to live, I didn't choose to die. You are so bad. At that time, I really wanted to die when I saw myself turned into that look."

"And now? How does it feel now?"

Gloria showed Shiinagawa's indescribable expression. If someone else were here, they might recognize it as a gossip expression.

"Right now... I just feel so good to be alive, thank you."

"Hmm, do you have your own plans for what to do next?"

Gloria smiled at him.

"Yeah, anyway, go out from here first, and then go to Reinhardt."

Speaking of this, Shiinagawa showed a somewhat distressed expression. This was because of his leaving without saying goodbye a few years ago, and the two of them might have a fight when they met Reinhardt.

Although the loser must be Reinhardt.

"Yeah, and then! And then?!"

"...Why are you so excited all of a sudden..."

"Let's think about it, I really want to meet Dazai."

The author has something to say: It's a big fat chapter!Good night everyone, go to bed first, homework will start in the next few days, alas... the next chapter may be updated later

Reinhardt who is actually awake but still pretends to be asleep: Oh, I really can't get into that atmosphere.

Reiko Tina, who actually didn't sleep at all and listened to the whole process: I have nothing to say... I have no right to interfere with her, even if she didn't choose me...

[Chris] who woke up and didn't intend to hide: Ha.

Shiinagawa: So what you mean by having fun is to fuck me?

Tina: Haha!
