Sumire Tohsaka

- Bordeaux is a complete jerk.

Tohsaka Sakura didn't refute or agree, but just lowered her eyes.

"what……"

Seeing her expression like this, Nanaki gritted her teeth unhappily.

"You know."

Sakura Tohsaka lowered her head meekly and said nothing.

Yes, she knows.

She already knew it when she agreed with Li Mingqing to study her own magic circuit.

As a scientific lunatic, Li Mingqing has a strong curiosity about the magic system that does not exist in this world.

How does the magic circuit work?What kind of principle is it that engraving can carry magic formulas?How does the magic power of Dayuan and Xiaoyuan transform in the human body?Among the natural overhead element attributes, what is the difference between emptiness and nothingness?Where does the space of imaginary numbers exist?

The man studied it all eagerly and without food or sleep.

By the end of his research, he already knew more about Sakura's magic and her body than Tohsaka herself.

He is a lunatic, a bastard, but also an out-and-out genius.

A man who is not a magician, in just one year, discovered the truth of magic from Tosaka Sakura, a young magician who has not received any professional magic training.

If it wasn't for his lack of interest in the vortex of the root, probably he has successfully reached the root.

He is the best and worst mentor.

Tohsaka Sakura raised her head and looked at her younger sister, who was leaning against Mitty's arms, gently stroking her crippled eye.

Nanaki also looked along her line of sight, her expression softened a little.

"Mitty seems to like Sumire very much." Tohsaka Sakura said suddenly.

Nanaki was silent for a moment, then suddenly showed a self-deprecating smile.

"That's just instinct." Her golden pupils stared quietly over there, "Mitty, she no longer has the emotion of 'like' or 'hate'."

The slime-like creature made a thin sound, which sounded like coquettishness and moaning.The soft little monster fiddled with Tohsaka Sumire's long hair with its sharp claws, biting her arm with its mouth that couldn't be closed and split vertically, gnawing vaguely, leaving a large area of ​​saliva.

Nanaki stared over there, her eyes gradually becoming sad.

"If you believe in Bordeaux too much, you will become like us."

she whispered to the child.

It's still too late.

Nanaki couldn't help thinking this way.

She... No, they still have a chance to escape.

"Sumire's condition has stabilized." Nanaki recalled the information she had read, "If you escape from here now... there should be still time."

"Where can I go if I escape from here?" Tohsaka Sakura asked softly, "The ascending curse on the fifth floor... Nanaki also knows it very well."

Nanaki was silent.

Yes.She is very clear.

Abyss (ABYSS) will retain those who want to leave.

Anyone who wants to leave Naraku will be cursed by Naraku.

The cave explorers of the abyss call this curse "rising load".

There is only one way to enter the abyss, and that is to fall.And there is only one way to leave the abyss, and that is to ascend.

The process of entering the abyss is always smooth, without any obstacles, and the downward path is unimpeded, as long as you go all the way down.But when ascending...or, when leaving the abyss, the situation is completely different.

Every time you go up, the curse will become bigger and bigger.

At the top level, the burden of ascent is not that great.

When returning from the first floor, there was only slight dizziness and the feeling of wanting to vomit.

The second layer is severe vomiting, headache, and even paralysis of nerve endings.

On the third floor, when returning, people's sense of balance will be disturbed, and hallucinations and auditory hallucinations will also appear.

However, starting from the fourth floor, this curse is in danger of death.

The ascending curse when returning from the fourth floor is enough to cause severe pain all over the body, bleeding from the seven orifices, and if you are unlucky, you may even die like this.

Xiao Jin's body is so fragile that she can't even bear this, and it's even more difficult for Tohsaka Sakura to imagine how she will bear the curse of the fifth layer of the deep world.

She experienced it once.

It was an accident during a "hunt".In order to avoid the prey chasing her, she climbed up the upward road in a panic.

That time, if she hadn't opened up the imaginary space to devour herself, and Li Mingqing had arrived in time, she would probably have died.

Although she saved her life, she could never forget the horror of that moment.

It was the most complete chaos, the whole person was turned into a bubble, and even the self-awareness was wiped out by the illusion of endless nothingness.If she hadn't opened the imaginary space that could not be successfully opened at the last second when her consciousness completely disappeared, and isolated herself from this terrifying world, she would probably have died just like that.

Even so, when Li Mingqing arrived in time to catch Tohsaka Sakura who fell out of the imaginary space, she still spat out her crushed baby teeth.

When the five senses were wiped out and the consciousness was confused, the teeth were crushed because of clenching the teeth.

Sakura Tohsaka couldn't imagine how Sumire would bear this.

The rising curse of the fifth layer of the deep world...she will die.Will.

Tohsaka Sakura was convinced.

The fifth floor of the deep world is Li Mingqing's Little Garden.That man has extraordinary insight, and has countless loyal subordinates. They are still here, and they have nowhere to escape.

But leaving here, they also have nowhere to escape.

If you go up, you will die because of the rising curse of the fifth layer of the deep world.

For going down, let alone mentioning that the sixth floor of the deep world is a hell more terrifying than the fifth floor...they don't have the key to go down.

This is a secret that only cave explorers who have reached the fifth floor know—if you want to enter the sixth floor, you must have the "Sounding Stone of Life".

In short, they must follow the person holding the "white flute", and only after he blows the white flute can they go down to the sixth level of the deep world.

No matter whether it is an upward or downward path, all are unfeasible passages.

Nanaki fell silent.

That's why she hadn't run away, or tried to take the new tricked-out kids.

but……

"If you stay any longer, you will only encounter things worse than death."

She looked at the two children who were dozing off together, and her voice became more suppressed.

"I secretly read the profiles of the two of you. You and her are special."

Nanaki already knew it when she saw the document.

These two are special.

Two girls from another world.

Although Li Mingqing used the highest level of confidentiality authority for both of them, Nanaki still tried her best to spy on a little bit of secrets.

"That guy is teaching you how to fight." Nanaki recalled Tohsaka Sakura's hunting records, "If you can defeat the strongest predator 'Gliding Scorpion' on the fifth floor of the deep world alone, you should be able to defeat at least A praying hand, take your sister and get out of here."

She paused, then continued.

"Besides, although I don't know what kind of abilities Sumire has, she must be special. Otherwise, I can't imagine the reason why Borduo would treat her so favorably."

Although Li Mingqing will also act as a good person to deceive those children's trust and favor.However, the effort he put into this little girl named Tohsaka Sumire has completely surpassed the records that Nanaki has seen.

Not only did he take care of her personally, but he also used various relics and precious medicines to take care of her body. Although he said that this was because her case was very rare and provided him with a lot of valuable research materials, Nanachi knew that was not the case thing.

No... It should be said that this is not the only thing.

That guy must have other plans for Sumire Tohsaka.

And she also saw something... very special in Sumire Tohsaka.

What to say?

"I've never seen someone like Sumire before," Nanaki murmured, "She obviously didn't do anything, yet she can freely distort the force field around her."

Nanaki's eyes are also special, she can see those force fields that exist in the abyss and are invisible to human eyes.

Like mist, like veil, those invisible force fields will flow with people's movements and consciousness.She was used to such a sight, but Sumire Tohsaka still let her see an unprecedented sight.

This person is just sitting there, the entire base... no, the force field of the fifth layer of the deep world is flowing around her.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that it is "distorted".

Occasionally...very occasionally, Nanaki would have an illusion.

It was as if the young and fragile child in front of him was distorting the whole world.

"If it's for Sumire—"

"no!"

Before Nanaki finished speaking, she was interrupted by Tohsaka Sakura.The young girl held her right arm tightly and lowered her face. She could only see the slightly trembling shoulders of the other party, but could not see the expression covered by the forehead hair.

She heard the child's voice, trembling almost like breaking.

"I absolutely...will never let anyone make a wish on her again."

In that trembling, there was a trace of determination.

"No matter what happens, I will never make her wish again."

Although the whole body was trembling with fear, when she raised her head again, the girl still had a pale smile on her face.

"I'm fine, Nanaki."

She tried to straighten her back, pretending to be nonchalant.Only her trembling legs revealed her true mood.

"As long as Xiao Jin can survive...it doesn't matter what happens to me."

Nanaki opened her eyes slightly.

For a moment, she saw the red-haired girl smiling brightly at herself again.

——It's okay, Nanaki, I will work hard, and I will hold back.

She wobbled a bit and took a step back in disbelief.

"Did you know it all along?"

Nanaki's eyes turned to Mitty in a hurry, and then turned to look at the girl in front of her.As if looking at something incredible.

"Are you crazy? Knowing that you still—"

"What's wrong……"

Suddenly there was a sleepy voice behind her. It turned out that Sumire Tohsaka sat up rubbing her eyes. She yawned a long time, tried to open her sleepy eyes, and looked at the two people who seemed to be arguing in front of her.

"Sakura... Nanaki? Are you arguing?"

Nanaki suddenly fell silent.

"No, nothing."

After a while, she turned around and gave the girl a nonchalant smile.Then, she waved at the little monster on the bed, making a coaxing sound.

"Go, Mitty."

The boneless pink creature muttered meaningless syllables, but after all it had been tamed for a long time, Mitty quickly slid off the bed and wriggled to Nanaki like a ball of ooze, her eyes wide open. One red eye, rubbing against the orc girl like a baby.

Nanachi caressed the little monster lovingly and gloomyly, gently wiped the drool off Mitty's face, hugged her silently, and buried her face in the soft body that made people feel sick.

After a long time, she stood up and led Mitty to the door of the ward.

"Mitty and I were once the same people as you."

Before leaving, she said this last.

"I hope you won't regret it, Sakura."
