On the Methods and Skills of Keeping Gods

As the time spent together increases, Gojo Satoru's views on Izumi Nagi are constantly changing.It is only now that he realizes that Izumi Nagi is actually a type of person who engages in technology, and he can devote himself wholeheartedly to the things he is interested in.

For example, now, he sat there quietly, with his long black hair hanging directly on his shoulders.He has bright facial features. From the side, his face is smooth and round, and his big and round pupils add a bit of sweetness and innocence to him. No matter how you look at it, he is a very typical Japanese beauty.His fingers were white and slender, and he should be fiddling with elegant things like tea sets, flowers, or folding fans, and of course he had done so in front of them.It is precisely because of this that there is a sense of contrast when seeing him burying his head in assembling and disassembling the instruments now.It's not a violation, but a kind of how to put it?

Machinery, a man's eternal dream.

What about the combination of girls and machines?It will make men want to stop.

Although Gojo Satoru thinks that his perfection is impeccable, Izumi Nagi really can't find any shortcomings in his opinion.

It feels like there's nothing he can't do.From Nitzi’s mouth, I learned that most of his clothes are made by Noctua Moth himself, but sometimes he also makes his own clothes.How to distinguish?If today's clothes are relatively simple in color and full of girlishness, they are made by Noctua Moth, and those with more patterns and look gorgeous are made by himself.

Today he is wearing a homemade kimono.The indigo bottom, the pattern on it is a combination of larger squares. Gojo Satoru roughly identified it, and found that the patterns in each lattice refer to a story: The Tale of Genji, The Tale of Taketori, and Luowa. Monogatari etc.A piece of clothing actually carries so much information.At this time, Gojo Satoru believed what Izumi Nagi said, he is a romanticist.

Smart mind, dexterous hands, exquisite appearance, excellent talent and understanding personality...

"...It's as perfect as a fake." Wujo Satoru finally concluded.

Knowing his evaluation, Xia Youjie asked him strangely: "Since you can be perfect yourself, why are other people acting like fakes?"

Wujo Wu looked at him speechlessly, and asked, "Is there a second Wujo Wu in this world?"

After reacting, Xia Youjie was disgusted by his narcissism, but he didn't want to fight with him so he chose to stay away from him.

However, his evaluation of Nagi Quan still flowed into Xia Youjie's heart.

After a period of time, the conceived communication tool was fully completed, and various functions were also improved through continuous test feedback.In terms of frequency of use, there is no one who uses it more than the few of them.Now, except when they need videos or look up things online, they generally use Fern—that’s the name of the technology.Wutiaowu had raised objections to this name. He didn't understand what this thing had to do with Buddha. It would be better to call it God's grace than Buddha's grace, at least it could have something to do with it.

But Izumi Nagi really doesn't like the term "God", and he doesn't think he deserves the word "God".

The name Foen is not only because it represents the gift of the Buddha, but also serves as a warning to him.Of course, he didn't tell his friends the second reason, but he just insisted on calling Fern.

Seeing him like this, Gojo Satoru couldn't say anything against him anymore.

As for why there is a second reason, it is related to Foen's second role.Remember that snow-white dove curse?Although it was named Experimental No. 0, its role was not limited to being a "base station" for mana transmission.It is the heart, the head, of the entire system, and all information is ultimately transmitted to it.

This is Izumi Nagi's second big secret besides mana perception.

As time went by, he was no longer satisfied with the range that his spell power could perceive.Likewise, he is no longer content to learn about the world only through cell phone video.He himself sometimes wonders that his selfish desires are like gluttons that can never be fed.

At the beginning, Izumi Nagi will carefully test to see if the user will notice it, but it is probably because his external image is too reassuring and trustworthy, or the introduction he buried is really secretive, No one has discovered this so far.

So he stretched out his hand cautiously at the beginning and slowly began to indulge his desires. Taking the opportunity of launching the "base station", he released more birds and insects that could share his senses from the enchantment.Use them to help him see the world, to experience it for him.Even the information disclosed by some conjurers when they use Fern, he can use the white dove to know it.But please rest assured, he has no idea of ​​using this information, just to help him better understand the world through this information.

Quan Nagi knows that for him, having obsession is a very scary thing. His mantra and ability will help him realize his obsession without his awareness, and this realization is often not what he expected.It's like Hajime who disappeared because of him. At first, it was just a damage to the core. If he stopped at that time, at least Hajime's body could be left behind.But because he rejected Hajime's "death" and tried to force it to stay in the human world, in the end he won't be that Hajime anymore, but an unknown monster from hell.In the end he left nothing behind.

For this reason, he is afraid of his own obsessions, so he will try his best to achieve whatever he wants by himself, and will not turn his ordinary wishes into obsessions.So even if this wish is wrong and shouldn't be seen by ordinary people, he will secretly fulfill it.

But his desire can't continue so endlessly, because he knows that if he doesn't limit it, one day he will blur the boundary and fall into the abyss from this side.At that time, he will no longer be who he is now, nor will he be the child whom Noctua Moth Zhengdao loves and the trusted Izumi Nagi of his friends. As for what he will become, he can't tell.

So he needs an existence to remind him and warn him at any time, absolutely!Don't take that step!

In addition to these functions of Fern, there are also ideas mentioned by Izumi Nagi before.That is to add a protective measure to Foen. This protection mechanism can help conjurers defend against an attack from a super-level conjurer, greatly improving the survival rate of some lower-level conjurers.

When I showed it to them, Izumi found that they were not surprised at all, but a little angry.Nairi Nagiko explained that because they had received too much shock in just a few months, now they have begun to get used to the point where Izumi Nagi will not be too surprised by anything.Let Quan Nagi feel a little lost for a while.

But Night Moth Zhengdao was very pleasantly surprised, and rushed directly into the upper-level meeting with the new version of Fern that had just been released.I don't know how he negotiated. I only know that when he came out, he got the notice to take over as the principal of Tokyo High School, and within a few days, the new order for Izumi Nagi was also conveyed.

More than 3 months have passed since the New Year, and now it is the new semester. Gojo Satoru and the others have been promoted to the second grade, and the new first-year freshmen have also completed their registration. For others, this year and other years are not the same. What a difference.

But for Izumi Nagi, if April 4 passes, it will be his 22th year of being trapped in the barrier.However, in this year, he received a notice, a notice that he could walk out of the barrier all the way to the high school.He changed from living in a yard with an area of ​​no more than 15 square meters to being able to move freely within the scope of the college.Although he couldn't and still couldn't leave the great barrier of the college, at least his existence was no longer hidden, and the courtyard where he lived suddenly appeared somewhere in the college.The tradition of finding "treasures" disappeared.

In Gojo Satoru's view, Izumi Nagi is still not free, and the form of imprisonment is just changed from a small cage to a slightly larger prison.

But Izumi Nagi didn't think so. He stepped out of the gate of the courtyard for the first time and left the barrier that had trapped him for 14 years accompanied by his friends and family.

After he walked out of the yard for a while, he couldn't help but look back. For the first time, he really saw what the place he had lived in for 14 or almost 15 years looked like.On the outside of the gray wall, there are traces of wind and rain. Without his repairs, the outside looks much mottled.

His act of looking back was not a souvenir, but a kind of heartfelt agitation.

Although the range he could move around was only the size of a school, it was enough for him.

He is satisfied, but not satisfied.

He saw the infirmary mentioned by Jia Ruzi, sat in the classroom where Xia Youjie and the others had classes, strolled in the playground where Gojo Satoru and the others had trained, tasted the canteen lunch mentioned by Subaru Iwata, and saw the right way of Noctuma The staff quarters that moved in...

Finally, he came to the gate of the high school.

He looked out from the gate, because of the geographical location, he couldn't actually see anything but trees and forests.But it’s different. These plants, land, and even the air and sky have different meanings to him.

He opened his arms to the empty existence in front of him, as if embracing false freedom.He took a deep breath, using his body to feel the difference between the air here and the air in the enchantment, and concluded that there was no difference.

He smiled, then turned to look at the lovely people who had been with him.

"In the future, I can also go out. Isn't it?"

Night Moth stepped forward lovingly and stroked the top of his head.

"Yes, you will leave here in the future and go to a wider world."

"Great." He said, "It's great to meet Uncle Zhengdao."

My life began to change the moment I met you. Since then, no matter what changes happen in my world, I cannot do without you.

He raised his head and took a deep look at Ye Mo Zhengdao, and emphasized again: "It's really great to meet you."

Then look at the rest, their existence is his anchor, pulling him to become a person rather than something else.
