Chapter of Abedo's Invitation to Cinnabar

Act Three

……

——"In front of you, I don't need to hide."

——“Because you are the same as me. Because you are also the same as me, and do not belong to this world——”

——"Because of your existence..."

"I'm no longer alone."

……

"...No, it can't be done! This plan can never be——Huh?"

You bounced subconsciously, and then...

—I saw a piece of the ceiling.

...Uh, I was dreaming.

The same ceiling, the same wall, the same windows and sills that I wake up to every day seem completely different today.In the past, the room in the morning was cold and silent, even if you sacrificed the electricity bill to turn on the air conditioner all night, it would not help; but this morning, it became warm because of those rustling and small sounds.

"Good morning. How are you resting?" Abedo turned off the fire, turned his head and exchanged good morning with you with a slight smile.

"Huh... that's good, I just dreamed that the team members submitted the wrong plan again..." you subconsciously replied while holding the door frame sleepily.

Well, very everyday...

——No, it’s not everyday at all, okay?

You rubbed your eyes hard before you fully woke up.

...Yes, yes, Mr. Abedo has come to your house...

Although this is a known fact...but it is still a bit scary to walk out of the room so early in the morning and see a teacher A calmly and naturally making breakfast in the kitchen!

"Huh? What's the matter?" Abedo's blue eyes looked at you calmly and with a hint of doubt.

"...No, no... A little sleepy, hehe." You touched your head, smiled a little embarrassedly, and approached curiously and asked, "Abedo, what are you doing?"

"I referred to your traditional breakfast recipes here, and finally chose omelets and brewed soy milk." Abedo lowered his eyes, turned over the omelets in the pot with a spatula calmly and seriously, as if He is not cooking breakfast in the kitchen, but in the laboratory as usual, holding a flask, studying the ratio of materials, and mixing a kind of alchemy reagent that you will never know how to make and what effect it has. .

"Although there may be a certain difference in taste, I think it is enough to fill the stomach." Putting the two egg pancakes on the plate, Abedo said calmly.

"—It smells so good!" After thanking you, you took a bite of the egg pancake, and couldn't help but widen your eyes.

Although it is just the simplest egg cake, this egg cake is moderately crispy, which not only retains the aroma of scrambled eggs, but also has other seasonings added to reduce the greasy feeling that may be caused by the oil in the cake.Especially the temperature just out of the pot, although it is a bit hot, it is undoubtedly the most suitable for winter, the feeling that warms up the whole person in one go!

But yes, when Mr. Abedo was doing experiments, his hand holding the flask was so steady, and it was expected that the food was delicious——

"Is it? No prize—but I'm glad you liked it."

"……Eh?"

When you met Abedo's smiling blue eyes, you realized that you had just uttered what was on your mind while eating——

"If you are interested, I can teach you." Abedo said with a smile in his tone, "Cooking, in essence, is the same as alchemy, it is born from the existence of specific ratios."

You sighed with embarrassment: "Cough... this... well, I may not be very good at cooking..."

Well, not just bad at it.

When you were still living with your parents, other people's parents must have welcomed their children to come to the kitchen to watch and learn to cook, right?At first, your innocent parents thought so too...

Until later you almost blow up the kitchen.

From then on, as long as there is a fire in the kitchen, your activity in the kitchen is and can only be to help your parents turn off the fire that just boiled water...

"Is that so?" Abedo lowered his head slightly, cutting the food gracefully.After he heard what you said, his tone was still calm, as if he was just describing an ordinary thing, "Then, if you want, I can do it for you often."

Then?

Then you nodded in a dazed way, ate your breakfast in a daze, washed the dishes in a daze, and didn't wake up until you sat in front of the workbench.

"Ouch..." You scratched your hair in annoyance, and looked at the blank Word document in front of you bitterly.

"Huh? What's the matter?" Abedo, who was writing something aside, put down his pen, "Traveler, your expression is very similar to Timaus's when he faced a newly issued task."

You: "..." A metaphor that is very characteristic of Mr. Abedo.

After listening to your narration, Abedo pondered for a moment, and then said: "You should know the specific solution to this matter better than me, right?"

"... Huh?" You were a little confused.

"As far as I know, the land you are in is experiencing some kind of infectious disease, and it has become normalized. If this is the case, then the focus of the topic discussion must be "life", right? "

Following Abedo's line of sight, you looked up through the window, and saw the bright and brilliant winter sun outside the window.

"The light is sufficient, and the biological behavior is active, well, it is very suitable for sketching." Abedo turned to you, and those ice-blue eyes seemed to have softened under the warm winter sun.There was a slight smile on the corner of his lips, "Traveler, how about going out for a walk together?"

Even in the cold winter, it is a happy thing to walk aimlessly on the street under the sunshine.Although the specific content of the work has not been settled, I still feel a little worried and anxious in my heart...

But when you turned your head and saw that Abedo was wearing a scarf that you forced to wear covering nearly half of his face, and his ice blue eyes were still looking around with great interest, you suddenly felt like this It doesn't matter anymore.

Speaking of which, how long has it been since I walked aimlessly on the streets like this?

The street is not far from your house and has a similar layout.You are very familiar with it, but every time you pass by here, the mood is different from the moment.

When the overly chaotic thoughts are given up, the sky becomes the petals of cornflowers.

The lanterns hung on the street in advance for festivals are his roses, and the snow that has not yet melted is his birth.His hair is pale sunlight, and his dead branches are unfinished creations.The sea is his eyes, the stars are his blemishes—

"……Be careful."

Abedo's cold voice rang in your ears, and you realized that you almost hit the electric pole just now.

"I'm sorry to trouble you..." You scratched your head embarrassedly, "Sometimes, when I suddenly think of something, I always tend to ignore the things around me, and I might screw up..."

"I'm not afraid of trouble, I'm just worried about your safety." Abedo said with a gentle expression, "I can understand your thoughts. The reason why "inspiration" is called "inspiration" is precisely because it is fleeting.However, while seizing the moment, you still have to be careful. "

"—here," Abedo raised his hand, pointing to the bench not far away, "it's a good place to stop and record."

"The view here is very good, very ordinary, but also very beautiful." He narrowed his eyes slightly, as if indulging in the rare warmth in winter, "It's a good place for sketching."

"—Traveler, what do you think?"

In most cases, it is incomprehensible to walk on the street with others and suddenly stop because of the sparse and ordinary scenery seen by others.

But he found a secluded place for you, took out the sketchbook with you, and invited you to keep the memory of this time with a smile.

——“Memory, like life, is a fleeting and fragile thing.”

—— "At the beginning, painting was just to understand the composition of objects and materials, which is convenient for research and development, but later it became a hobby."

——"That's because, like alchemy, it can..."

——"Keep the moment."

Lifting the pen, you hesitated for a moment.

Abedo's words gave you a new direction——

After all, now that the epidemic is normalized, the life you experience is originally the so-called "life under the epidemic".And this kind of "life" is made up of countless sweat, blood and tears, countless guards, countless miracles, and countless coincidences, the "daily life" day after day.

Sunrise and sunset, flowers bloom and wither, this is day after day, ordinary and ordinary every day——

——But even the most ordinary days make people smile.

You don't know if this is the most correct topic, or there is no so-called "perfection" in itself.

You only know that you want to quietly enjoy the beauty of the moment, you want to keep such small happiness, and you want to pass this feeling on to more people——

——“No matter how many difficulties and setbacks we experience, we are still living a good life.”

Other than that, at least for now, you have nothing else to ask for.

"...Thank you, Abedo."

Abedo, who was drawing the street scene, paused for a moment, and turned his head to look at the girl beside him who quietly closed her eyes and showed a faint smile.

She looks very peaceful.What is she laughing for?

If the essence of the real starry sky is black, then what is the essence of black?

"Thank you for being here, I'm very happy."

——The world is a library without boundaries.

Research various topics in experiments, uncover unknown secrets by yourself, and finally master new knowledge.

This is from the day he was born, Master showed him the meaning of life that she pursued.

However, she left.Only left the last subject, let him pursue desperately——

——"Go after it."

——“Show me the truth of the world, and the meaning of the world—”

——"If one day, you also find your own answer,"

——"Then..."

At the end of the breath of the sea of ​​stars, he turned his head in the pale snow field that he faced when he was born.

The birth of every life has its meaning.Time brings the old life and the new world, so it must have its meaning.

But the meaning of his birth is to "find meaning".

The end of the sea of ​​stars is meaningless.

This is an answer that transcends the world, but for the final answer, he still can't give an accurate answer.

"Black earth gives birth to chalk."——

——He has fully understood the supreme meaning represented by this sentence.

The meaning of alchemy is the search for meaning.

And he crossed the stars and came to this world, just to find the final stage of the meaning of the existence named "Abedo" that belongs only to him.

……

——"If one day, you also find your own answer,"

——"Then..."

——"The next topic is up to you to draw up."

"...No," he heard a rare dryness and pause in his voice, "I'm very glad to be here and meet you."

——After all, this is out of my "selfishness".

"Huh? Has Mr. Abedo finished the painting?" The girl in front of him moved closer to him, her eyes sparkling with curiosity.

Of course he remembered the light.Even though her appearance, voice, age, and experience were all different from what he had known before, it was the light in these eyes that illuminated the meaningless and boundless snowfield.

"Temporarily confidential." He smiled slightly.

"Hey—I'm more curious this way—"

"Traveler, do you know what happened to the last person who was so curious?"

"Huh? How's it going?"

"Her work is not done."

"...Wow, what a vicious story."

"It's just a story, don't worry about it. Why, have you already thought about your next stop?"

Looking at the lively figure of the girl when she stood up and pointed to the park not far away, Abedo's eyes sank slightly.

He himself is a creation of alchemy, and most of the time he will not make mistakes.

Because of the programmed procedures, there is no room for "mistakes".The selected flowers are not prepared for "failure".

but……

In his sketchbook, everything will show the real moment that it should record most.Even if it is a little abstract and a little detailed, it is all "real".

but……

It was supposed to be a painting of a blank street, but at some point, he unconsciously filled it with the flower that he had painted countless times.

This is... from whose will?

Looking at the distant sky, the alchemist, who explored all the supreme knowledge, felt for the first time a different confusion than when he was given a difficult subject.

but……

...he didn't hate the feeling.

"Chicheng", in alchemy, means the refining of emotions.

His "Chi Cheng" may be... soon to be found.
