"Oh... it's really curious."
Young Gil was a little disappointed and whispered:
"Is it possible that this... is actually a special ceremony, symbolizing the mutual suppression and evolution of myths?"
Chapter 501 I want to live with Illya
"...Third Magus."
Aozaki Touko replied with a smile, she didn't hate Darius·Enzworth, no, maybe it could also be said to be Julian·Enzworth.
The man standing in front of her possessed two spiritualities.
One is the original owner of this body, Julian·Enzworth, and the other is the ancestor of Enzworth from thousands of years ago, Darius·Enzworth.
The reason for such a strange situation is simple.
The Einsworth family in this world is quite interesting. The Displacement Magecraft owned by his family goes beyond the norm, just like Emiya Shirou and Projection Magecraft go beyond the norm.
Although they are all basic Magecraft, they can specialize in emitting terrifying power.
Even, you can use Displacement Magecraft to perform spiritual replacement, directly use the body as a pure container, and then extend your spirit to your descendants.
And Darius·Enzworth. Now it has been replaced by his own offspring Julian·Enzworth.
"Third Magus, it's... really incredible."
Darius·Enzworth suddenly laughed out loud and raised his hand to cover his cheek, "I never thought I would see Magic User alive. This is really a great honor, for me as a Magecraft master."
As he said this, his expression suddenly turned cold.
"Then Master Magic User, who masters miracles, what's the point of coming to this world that is about to be destroyed?"
"... I'm here to travel." Aozaki Touko replied, "Watching a world go to destruction, it would be a pity not to appreciate the beauty of such tragic things."
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!"
Darius heard this answer and burst into deafening laughter. However, this laughter was filled with murderous intent and anger, "Do you mean... you want to watch this world be destroyed?"
He suddenly raised his hand and pointed at Miyu.
"A Wish-granting device like human beings, and the survival of the whole world. This huge difference does not even require any calculation on the scale."
"But what you chose is Wish-granting device."
It's no lie. The girl named Miyu cannot be called a human. Although she has the appearance of a human, her essence is nothing more than a container for realizing human wishes.
The personality attached to it is just a meaningless residue.
"Miyu... is not a wish-making machine!!!"
Suddenly, a childish voice shouted, and then, among the surrounding troops, Illya firmly pulled Miyu out. She stared at Darius angrily and said:
Miyu is not a wish-making machine, Miyu is my friend, with his own feelings and desire to live. "
As she spoke, she looked seriously at Miyu beside her
"Miyu Say it, it is your wish."
"..."
After a slight silence, Miyu raised his head and stared at Illya, then turned to look at Darius and said, "I don't want to die, I don't want to leave Illya, I don't want to be separated from my brother, I want to... live!"
Her voice was serious, without any trace of confusion.
Yes, she doesn't want to die no matter what. If she doesn't have feelings, if she doesn't meet her brother, if she doesn't meet Illya, then she... maybe she can calmly accept her death as a machine that fulfills her wishes.
However, warmth surged in my heart, as did my selfish desire to live.
Such strong rejection becomes Wish-granting device and dies.
"Did you hear that? "Illya held Miyu's little hand, stared at Darius and said seriously, "Miyu she doesn't want to die, she wants to live with us!"
"Ah...I heard it."
Darius responded lightly, then raised his hand and scratched his head. "Sure enough, Wish-granting device has personal feelings, but it is a very troublesome thing. Even if you do it... you will feel guilty."
Saying this, he stared at Illya rationally and asked.
"Then if you give up the ritual, this world will inevitably come to an end. Then little guy... what choice will you make, take Miyu back to your own world, and then hide your ears and watch the destruction of this world."
"Can you bear the weight of human death in a world?"
There was no fluctuation, just an indifferent question, clearly placing the collective and individual weight in front of this little loli, whether to choose... the survival of human beings in the world, or the survival of a Miyu.
It's easy to choose one of two, choose the majority in terms of justice or the minority in emotion.
"..."
Illya looked up at Darius with eyes full of oppression, then turned around and threw himself into Touko Mama's arms, and then rubbed his head hard against him.
"Whether it's Miyu or saving the world, I want it all!"
There was a clear hint of coquettishness in her voice.
Darius watched this scene in silence, and then looked at Aozaki Touko who was touching his daughter's head. He felt that the topic could not be discussed anymore. Saving the world... it should be difficult for even Magic User to do it.
No matter how much you act coquettishly with your mother... if you can't do it, you just can't do it.
Parents are not omnipotent. Although in the children's little hearts, parents may be omnipotent, but... reality will not be deviated by children's wishes.
Just like a child and a parent asking for the moon in the sky, it is impossible to pick it off and give it to the child.
"... Saving the world is tiring."
Aozaki Touko touched his daughter's little head and said with a smile, "The world has natural laws, just like the sun rises Moon Fall, the world will naturally follow the laws and die."
"Please, Touko Mama!"
Illya rubbed Touko Mama's soft chest and said, "From now on, I will be obedient and rub your shoulders and back, so please... save this world, okay?"
"Rub your shoulders and hit your back? "Aozaki Touko asked with a smile, "That's a very tiring thing. Can Illya persist?"
"No problem! "Raising his head, Illya readily agreed, "I will rub Touko Mama's shoulders and back every day from now on, and I will never regret it!" "
"Um... I... I can also give Lady Touko a back and shoulder rub. "Miyu's voice was a little shy and her cheeks were a little scarlet, "If Lady Touko needs it. I can also learn to cook. From now on, I will be responsible for taking care of the lives of adults Lady Touko and Irisviel."
"..."
Aozaki Touko looked at the shy Miyu, and his eyes suddenly softened. "Speaking of which, I haven't asked you yet, Miyu, do you like Illya?"
Hearing this, Illya tilted her head in confusion. She and Miyu are good friends. How could they not like each other? What's the point of asking this question?
However, she had no intention of interrupting.
"I like it, I like Illya very much! "Miyu raised his head, his cheeks flushed. "I want to live with Illya!"
"... That's it."
Nodding slightly, Aozaki Touko answered:
"Let's find a good reason to help save the world."
Chapter 502: Mental collapse
"... Thank you, Lady Touko!"
Miyu's delicate little face showed gratitude, and she bowed extremely seriously. She was grateful for Magic User's kindness, and she felt relieved in her heart.
Although she wanted to survive.
If there is no other means to save the world, the invisible responsibility will be accumulated in her heart, so that she will be unable to breathe smoothly.
However, since Lady Touko agreed to help... the stone in my heart has been lifted.
"Heh... you don't have to be so outspoken."
Aozaki Touko touched Miyu's head, then looked at the castle and said, "Miyu, go and bring your brother back, and leave the rest to me."
"..."
Miyu looked up at Touko's gentle smile so close at hand, and suddenly felt a familiar feeling in his heart. It was the tenderness of a mother, and he felt warm in his heart... with a heartfelt sense of peace of mind.
"Lady Touko, can I hug you?"
Somewhat abruptly, she suddenly said such words.
Hearing this, Aozaki Touko blinked in surprise, then smiled and knelt down, took Miyu into his arms, and gently stroked the little girl's head.
Miyu immersed herself in the gentle embrace for a moment, then obediently broke away from Touko's embrace. Then, she raised her hand to gently wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes and said softly.
"Thank you very much, Lady Touko I'm going to find my brother."
With that said, she bowed and immediately turned around to leave for the castle. Then, just as she took a step, her hand was pulled. She looked back subconsciously and saw Illya holding her hand with a smile.
"Miyu, I'll go with you too."
"Um."
The two little lolita looked at each other and smiled, then held hands and ran towards the castle.
Aozaki Touko couldn't help but smile as he watched the two little lolita leave, although it seemed that the two little lolita had forgotten to ask Emiya where the giant was being held.
However, she did not intend to break the harmonious atmosphere between Illya and Miyu. Anyway, she could find the giant Emiya as long as she arrived at the castle and used a wide-area search.
Moreover, the location where Emiya Giant is imprisoned is actually not strict.
"...Saving the world is not something I say casually!"
Suddenly, Darius's voice sounded coldly. He stared at the orange-haired woman in front of him. The group of Magecraft masters in this world were undoubtedly pursuing Vortex of the Root, who contained the ultimate knowledge.
This also means...Magic User, who came back from Vortex of the Root, has undoubted knowledge and ability.
If such a being spoke of saving the world, it would actually have a very high degree of credibility. However, the orange-haired woman's tone was too relaxed.
So much so that he wondered if he was deceiving others.
"Ah... I didn't say it casually. "Aozaki Touko took out a copy of Grimoire and handed it to Darius, "Whether it is a lie or not, you can confirm it by just looking at it. If not, you can also go to Parallel World to confirm the success of the ceremony."
"..."
Darius remained silent, taking over Grimoire and looking at it. He was undoubtedly at a disadvantage now, so why not quietly cooperate with Magic User's actions.
After all, the image of crushing Mjolnir with his bare hands still remained in his heart.
However, soon... his expression became solemn.
Although he just looked at the outline in front, he is a Magecraft master who has lived for more than a thousand years, and his knowledge cannot be underestimated. You can understand it after just a short look.
This Grimoire does have possibilities.
However, this is not very practical.
"I won't talk about the rest. Do you think... the planet Counter Guardian will cooperate with humans and then hand over its control, without being able to control the situation in life or death?"
He raised his head and asked Aozaki Touko.
This world Counter Guardian is just unconscious directionality, so how can they trust a human being and leave their future, life and death to the primate Aozaki Touko to decide.
No matter how you think about it, it's very... unrealistic.
"... this one."
Aozaki Touko licked her hair beside her ears and said with a smile, "Gaia-chan, if you don't come out to cooperate with the verification, then I can only think that there is no condition to activate the ceremony and go home."
As soon as the words fell, the world seemed to suddenly freeze.
A kind of will that cannot be described in words suddenly gathered at a terrifying speed. That magnificent will revealed a feeling of weakness and decay.
But the sanctity of its spirit... is unquestionable.
After a while.
A blue-haired loli suddenly jumped out of the void. She stood in front of Aozaki Touko and raised her head, saying in a cold and urgent voice:
"Come here, I will cooperate with you!"
"Gaia-chan, it's so cute~" Aozaki Touko smiled and touched blue-haired loli's head, and then looked to the side in shock Darius, "Look... isn't this very feasible?"
"This is unscientific!"
Subconsciously, Darius said such words.
In order to save the world, he has been practicing this concept for thousands of years, but that damn Counter Guardian has been blocking it, without any cooperation at all.
