If the sixth station feels like being baked by the sun at noon on the equator, then the final station seems to be standing directly opposite the sun, every inch of skin is covered by scalding temperature, and there is nowhere to escape. escape.

"Fujimaru-kun, can you still hold on?" Merlin turned to look at Fujimaru Tateka, who was panting with difficulty while leaning on his knees. Seeing this, the latter wiped the sweat off his face with the back of his hand, and returned a weak smile. "...Well, I can, don't worry."

Before the castle that seemed to swallow all light, there was a long row of stairs. How long had they been climbing the stairs?Is it three 10 minutes, one hour, or longer?Fujimaru Tachika didn't know the answer, and time seemed to be very blurred here, so that the castle seemed within reach, but they never even got close to the gate.

In the end, it was Merlin who stopped first, "It's not okay to go on like this. In this domain, the Demon King is the master of the rules. If he doesn't want us to get close to his throne, we may never be able to get there."

Fujimaru Tachika held down his violently heaving chest, and the excessively high temperature also exhausted his physical strength, "Since you brought it up, it means you have already figured out a solution, right?"

He stared into the eyes of the succubus, "Please, Merlin, please help me."

"...Oh, that's true." Merlin took the lead to look away amidst the stares, and the focus of his eyes stayed on the empty stair gap, "Since you have entrusted me so much, then the flowers Big brother is about to show off his skills."

"The sea within the stars, the tower of observation. Tell you from the corner of the paradise, your stories are full of blessings." He sang softly, every word he uttered, Fujimaru Tachika could feel the exhaustion in his body being expelled Somehow, after the words "blessings" were uttered, the unbearable heat also receded. Although it was not completely cleared, the temporary coolness was enough to cheer him up.

"Only those who are innocent can enter - the Garden of Avalon isolated forever!"

As the last syllable landed, pink and white petals spread across the entire staircase, representing the vibrant pink that continued to extend upwards, paving the way forward of Fujimaru Tachika with pure flowers in full bloom. Even the lifeless castle was illuminated brightly.

——Where the Magician of Flowers is, the land is full of hope.

Fujimaru Tatsuka was about to take advantage of this opportunity to run forward, when she found that Merlin was standing motionless holding the staff, "Merlin?"

"You go first, I have some other things to do, and I will catch up later." Merlin said with a smile. Although he always looks unreliable because of his frivolous attitude, he is actually a very A trustworthy friend, and because of this, Fujimaru Tachika understood that there must be a reason for him to say this at such a time, he clenched his fists, "... I see, please be careful."

Under Merlin's Noble Phantasm, he passed the stairs that could not be climbed to the top no matter what, and he quickly arrived at the plain gate without even a trace of pattern.Fujimaru Tachika pressed the door panel with both hands, pushed the two heavy doors inward, stepped into the castle and rushed forward.

After his figure disappeared over the door, Merlin also looked towards the empty stairs, and in the direction he was looking at, a man in a robe slowly appeared, with a few touches of orange red. Hair peeked out from under the robe.

There shouldn't be anything called emotions similar to humans in the eyes of the Dream Demon. If so, what is the feeling flowing in his chest that makes him want to curl the corners of his lips?

"Should I tell you long time no see, or... first meeting?"

-

In the long corridor, there is not even any thing that can be called an ornament, and it is so empty that there is only the footsteps of Fujimaru Tachika. Only the sound of his own heavy breathing and heartbeat remained.

He pursed his lips and looked up at Fenghuo on the throne, which was similar to but different from his memory, and Fenghuo was also observing him.

The young man propped his cheek with his right hand wearing a black glove, and looked down at Fujimaru Tachika with a cold expression.He is black and white from head to toe. The black leather gloves that cling to his cheeks further set off his white paper-like bloodless skin. The black windbreaker that fits his body outlines smooth and graceful forearms and a tight waist. line.

Following his movements, a few strands of untied black hair slid down from his shoulders, and the hem of the windbreaker whose edges were torn by the flames also dropped soundlessly, scratching across the shiny black boots.

Those dull inorganic pupils were the only color on his body.

The boy's immature and smooth lines completely faded away, and along with that, his teenage aggression that could not be concealed at all faded away.He looked calm and reserved.But Fujimaru Tachika met his eyes and completely denied this idea - time did not smooth the sealing fire, he just buried the emotions about to erupt under the volcano, when the volcano erupted , is the time of all destruction.

Looking at such a sealing fire, Fujimaru Tateka only felt that the burning sensation brought by being close to the throne was nothing.

"...You've lost a lot of weight. You haven't eaten properly." He said, "Fenghuo, long time no see. Let's go back together."

Feng Huo's gaze moved downwards, staying on his chest that was heaving due to the violent exercise. After a long while, he finally opened his mouth, "It's impossible, Fujimaru."

"You should understand that I never regret my choices, all I will do is admit my choices and make up for my mistakes."

Fujimaru Tachika shook her head, "No, that's not your fault. I never told you about Chaldea, although it was because of the request of the magic world, but... I didn't tell you the truth, it's the truth. What's more, at that time, even if you were..."

His words were interrupted by Fenghuo, "So, I regret it."

"...What?" Fujimaru Tatsuka almost thought he was hallucinating.

"I said, I regret it." Feng Huo spoke out his sincere words that he had never said before.

He used to think that showing his true emotions and true side was tantamount to exposing his weaknesses to others.

What's more, he believes in actions more than words that can be fabricated at will, and Fujimaru Tatsuka can always see through the truth behind his words, so he never worries about being misunderstood.

...However, if his true words lost their audience, then even if he left them to the end of the world, it would no longer be meaningful.

"I should have asked you about the influence of Chaldea from the very beginning. You will not lie to me, and I will help you hide it."

"I can also investigate the Magic Association earlier and deal with them with you."

"...I won't let you board that train at that time."

He narrated in a low voice, not aware of when it started, his own memory was confused with Xingyuan Fenghuo's memory.

Fujimaru Tachika listened quietly, and when his last voice fell, she took a step forward, "...It's the first time I've heard you say that."

"I should be happy, because you can finally express your thoughts frankly, and you will never be misunderstood again. But if the price of frankness is to make you so painful, forget it." He slightly bent The corners of his lips curled up, and he walked up the steps towards the throne, "Just like before, if you don't want to say it, I can say it for you, and I won't misunderstand you."

Feng Huo didn't answer or move. He lowered his eyebrows and looked at Fujimaru Tachika, who was walking up step by step. The latter gave a wry smile, "I met Angola Mainyu in the last level, and I almost lost It's over."

Feng Huo's expression remained unchanged, "...he didn't stop you, and that's what I expected, you don't need to say that."

"No, I really almost lost." Fujimaru Tachika said, "Because he asked me, don't you regret it? At that time, I thought about answering him... I did regret it."

Among the tens of thousands of voices questioning him, the cold and recognizable voice was caught by him immediately.

"Why did you miss the appointment?" the voice asked him.

"But it's not regretting that I saved others, but regretting that I couldn't work harder to survive." There was more sadness in his smile, and he stretched out the hand engraved with the command seal to Fenghuo , "Leaving you alone in the world, I'm sorry."

"Enough is enough, you've done a lot. Come back with me."

Fenghuo didn't hold his hand.

He took a step back, and then, the flames ignited, illuminating the entire castle.

Under the windbreaker and gloves that tightly wrapped every inch of his body, red and black lines were spreading and climbing up his skin. Until now, the dark color intertwined like vines wrapped around his bare, exposed paleness. His neck seemed to be strangled by an invisible hand.

"It's not enough." He said, the fiery flame ignited him, and the rising heat turned into a hurricane, pushing Fujimaru Tateka down the stairs and straight to the door.The ensuing wall of flames separated him completely. Through the tumbling flames, Fujimaru Tachika saw the scarlet in his eyes hotter than the flames, "This is my business, return to yours!" Where you should go, don't come here."

"Merlin should have told you, right now I am not only the person you know, but also the unformed beast here. If I were to return to the original world, it would only cause a greater disaster. Maybe one day, I It will also become a true beast [human evil] and destroy everything you hold dear."

"It's the best choice for me to cut off this world line and destroy this world. Where I will go after that has nothing to do with you."

Fujimaru Tachika, who was pushed away by the flames, ran towards him without even thinking about it, but the astonishing temperature immediately scalded his outstretched hand until it was scorched black and white smoke rose, and he withdrew his hand reflexively to cover it. live.

The closer you are to the direction of sealing the fire, the hotter it will be, and as long as you walk in the opposite direction, you will not be burned. From Fenghuo's point of view, as long as you are not a fool, you will know how to make a decision.

Ke Fujimaru Tachika is undoubtedly an idiot.

"...How is it possible, it doesn't matter." Fujimaru Tachika murmured with his head lowered, the command spell on the back of his hand lit up, he used the command spell to impose a temporary defense on himself, and then walked into the room without hesitation. Among the flames.

But the defensive effect of the Command Seal only lasted for a short moment, and soon the flames ignited him from head to toe, so he whispered something again to activate the Command Seal. The last Command Seal also disappeared from the back of his hand.

Surprised by his actions, Feng Huo subconsciously took a step forward, and then he realized that he stopped in his tracks, "Enough is enough, Fujimaru, do you want to be burned to death? Or do you want to force me to die in this way?" stop?"

Fujimaru Tachika shook her head amidst the flames.

"No, I will not die, I will live, and live with you."

The certainty in his tone made Feng Huo stunned, and his subsequent words made him speechless for a moment, "This is the pain you have been enduring all this time...it hurts so much."

Even though the flames were entangled, he still walked forward unswervingly, and it was only at this time that he discovered the sealing of the fire-obviously the Command Spell had disappeared, but the flames did not leave any damage to Fujimaru Tachika, it should be said that even Even the defense of Command Seals can't block the damage so perfectly.

He stared at the figure of Fujimaru Tachika, "...I see, you are really a Saver."

The Saver of the savior, the Saver of the savior, Fujimaru Tachika who was summoned with such a job, can only exert the most powerful power when it is for protection, but the premise of truly blending with this part of power is that he must To realize one thing - if you want to save others, you must first save yourself.

Only by passing through this flame and surviving can it be possible to bring Fenghuo out from the center of the flame.Fujimaru Tachika kept this rule in mind, and mobilized the magic power of the whole body to guard his body.

When the pain couldn't stop him, he moved faster and faster, and finally even changed from walking to running.The high temperature and flames were no longer an obstacle, and only the high throne and the person in front of the throne remained in his eyes, and he ran towards him through everything.

"If you will become evil, then I will stop you!" Fujimaru Tachika roared, a wall of flame suddenly rose in front of him, he did not stop but punched forward, and the flame was hit by him It shattered into countless gorgeous orange-red butterflies, brushed his body and scattered away, "No matter how many times, I will stop you!"

"So—come home with me, seal the fire!"

The author says:

Tsundere learned to be frank, and the victim learned to live.Probably this is what it means to grow up.

From a certain point of view, there are two confessions in this chapter... (although it is a bit forced)

Damn, I haven't finished writing, and there will be another chapter ending tomorrow.

PS: The last name is correct.
