"The opposition between the science side and the magic side - what does that have to do with the divine world?"
As soon as these words came out, Kanzaki Kaori almost took a breath and gasped.
"Kanzaki, in your opinion, what are the fundamental purposes of science and magic?"
Seeing the tangled expression on the face of the young saint in front of me, I instantly became possessed by the Education Emperor.
"The fundamental purpose of science and magic?" Kanzaki had obviously not considered this issue, so she had a confused look on her face, "If the power of magic can be developed to its extreme, it should be... the realm of God... right?
?”
"The same goes for science," I shook my finger in front of Kanzaki, who looked increasingly confused. "Although the terms are different, the magic side calls it the mystery of God, while the science side is more accustomed to calling it
They are various truths, laws, science and magic. They are all tools used by mortals to explore the ultimate truth of the world. In other words, the difference between science and magic is entirely based on the way of exploring the truth."
"Your teachings are very helpful!"
Kanzaki immediately nodded respectfully.
"Then the distinction and opposition between science and magic is meaningless to us - because we are the truth.
"As the final answer, you don't have to care about the process of solving the problem. As the ultimate truth, you don't have to care about the methods used to explore this truth. You may think that angels are mythical creatures and the embodiment of magical power, but in the final analysis, this
The root of the world has nothing to do with magic or science. It simply exists as the foundation of the world from the beginning to the end. Even if all the science and magic power in the world disappears, the truth of this world will not
produce the slightest change, so I said that in the eyes of the 'god' who represents the truth, science and magic are the same thing. They are tools made by mortals, codebooks used to understand the world, and the power of the gods is
A power higher than science and magic, do you understand?"
Kanzaki was silent for a long time, and finally spoke slowly: "Although I understand, and your teaching seems irrefutable, but... it is still difficult to accept it."
"That's true," I nodded, "and most angels are indeed mechanical idiots (that idiot Alaya can even use a communicator now without holding up the instructions for a long time!). After all, the education you have received since childhood is science and magic.
Absolutely opposing theories, so humans in this world are only in the primary stage of civilization."
"Yeah……"
Kanzaki whispered, as if she couldn't accept something that was completely contrary to her common sense for a while. As she said herself, although the theory sounded irrefutable, it was quite difficult to accept the facts.
"Okay, I don't want to worry about these headaches anymore." Seeing that Kanzaki was about to fall into the contradictory thinking mode of a philosopher, and feeling that the protest in my stomach was getting more serious, I decisively chose to divert my attention, "Let's stay for dinner and let you try it.
My old sister’s craftsmanship—what do you mean by that look in your eyes?”
Kanzaki looked at me with strange eyes, and after a while he whispered: "Do angels usually... cook?"
"Just treat everything as normal! Besides, we are here for vacation. Even if we are experiencing life, we have to live a human life, right?"
As soon as I finished speaking, a rather energetic voice came from the door: "Brother, director! Commander Saten Ruiko is here to report!!"
When I turned around, I happened to see Saten Ruiko, still wearing imperial uniform, standing at the door, with a naughty smile on her face, and gave me a cute salute... Damn it! It was a Nazi military salute!
"Ah - it hurts!"
Saten Ruiko, who was hit in the forehead by my decisive explosion, held her head, and then looked up with pure eyes at a 45° angle - well, looking up at the young saint who came over out of curiosity on the other side, there was no way, from all aspects,
The attention paid to Kanzaki Kaori is too high.
"Eh? Are there any guests?" Saten Ruiko immediately stood up straight and bowed politely, "Hello, this is the first time we meet. I am Saten Ruiko. I am an esper who is conducting ability development experiments here. Please give me your advice.
.”
"Oh, hello..." Kanzaki Kaori paused, then hesitantly said, "First time meeting Kanzaki Kaori, it's... well, it's from here..."
He seems to be a guy who can't lie at all. Kanzaki struggled for a long time, and finally pointed at me: "It's his servant!"
I couldn't hold my breath for a moment: "I'm your sister!"
But it was already too late, Saten Ruiko looked at me with a strange look, and said "Oh~~~~" meaningfully.
I quickly changed the subject: "By the way Kanzaki, I just have something for you."
Although this transfer method was quite stupid, Kanzaki immediately focused his attention on my hand.
What I took out from my portable space was a silver-white long knife nearly two meters long.
The style of the knife is a bit strange. It has a long and parallel blade like the Tang Dao, but it is slightly wider than the ordinary Tang Dao, and the curvature is more obvious. The guard on the handle is relatively narrow, and the scabbard is also carved.
It has a series of complex runes. Judging from the style alone, it is really difficult to tell what style of weapon this is.
This is of course not something designed by humans, nor is it even the ceremonial saber used by Commander Xiling, but an imitation of a certain weapon that Dingdang brought from the God Realm.
A weapon truly made by the Protoss is a bit difficult for me to use, let alone for Kanzaki. This sword is an imitation of the weapon commonly used by the Protoss Royal Blade Guard, and it has been deformed to a certain extent based on human usage habits.
The material is the highest strength alloy that can be synthesized by Xiling apostle and mixed with a trace amount of astrology stone powder. Although it is not at the same level as the weapons of the gods, from the perspective of various attributes such as sharpness and magic breaking, this
It is already a magical weapon that humans can never imagine.
I originally made it to satisfy my otaku hobby of cold weapons, but when I actually got it, I discovered that it had no use at all other than as a decoration. Unexpectedly, it was now cheaper than Kanzaki.
"Didn't I break your knife last time?" I handed the long knife in my hand to Kanzaki, who was slightly dazed. "I'm sorry. This is a replica of a weapon from the divine world. It should suit you.
usage habits.”
Kanzaki took the long knife with some hesitation, weighed it slightly, and immediately showed a surprised and overjoyed expression, but still said embarrassedly: "This... gift is too expensive, I..."
"Just take it if you want it. I'm not used to owing people things." I pushed Kanzaki's hand back without any explanation. "In addition to being sharp and strong, this knife also has another characteristic. It can destroy any form of magic."
, it can even cut through saint-level pure magic attacks head-on. If it is used against a magician, even an ordinary person can easily win, so I named it Spell Breaker, but you can change it if you don’t like this name.
Lose."
"No, I like it very much!"
With an expression of surprise on her face, Kanzaki replied loudly, "The last time my beloved sword was broken into pieces by me, she was severely disappointed for several days. Just because the other person was the object of her supposed worship, this loss was only
She could swallow it, but she didn't expect to receive such a huge "compensation" today. If she hadn't considered etiquette issues, she would have rushed out immediately to find a deserted place to try the knife at this time - Well, Shi
Tyr's magic level is pretty good, maybe he can use it to test the spell-breaking properties of this knife...
Of course, Kanzaki came here not only to inform me, but she seemed to have some other mission. It seemed that it was a troublesome mission assigned by a certain fox girl to prevent her subordinates from being idle. Looking at Kanzaki's face, she was very reluctant.
I could make a rough guess about it, but she didn’t tell me and I didn’t ask. After lunch, the young saint, whose depression had been somewhat relieved by receiving the sword, stood up and left.
The troublemaking Roman Orthodox Church is really a troublesome guy.
You have looked down upon those religious lunatics from the very beginning, and now you are planning to take this opportunity to attack Academy City?
But what I'm curious about is why Aleister didn't react at all.
As a "human" who can control every corner of Academy City, there is no reason why he should not be able to discover the activities of the Roman Orthodox Church. Even if he cannot find those Roman Orthodox members who are powerful and have already blended into the crowd in a short period of time, it is impossible to detect them in advance.
I don’t know, but under Pandora’s monitoring, Aleister has indeed not responded to this recently. It’s okay to say that there is a high-level “agreement” between the British Puritan Church and Academy City, but the Roman Orthodox Church is so eager to
All the forces on the scientific side are dead, what does Aleister plan to do with them?
With such endless confusions in our hearts, Qianqian and I walked slowly along the bank of the city canal near School District 7.
"It feels like it's been a long time since the two of us had time alone... I've been very busy lately..."
A soft voice suddenly sounded next to me. She lightly hooked my hand and walked forward with a flick. In addition to her usual quirky and energetic appearance, she would also be so quiet and well-behaved.
On one side.
Why are you thinking about those troublesome things? You should enjoy the time with Qianqian now.
Thinking so self-deprecatingly in my heart, I suddenly pulled Qian Qian into my arms, and then a princess hug picked up the screaming girl.
"Ah! Arjun, what are you doing!"
She screamed slightly, but soon she calmed down, gently leaned her head in my arms, and whispered: "Next time you scare me like this, I'll bite you."
...You are too close to Dingdang.
I lowered my head, placed a gentle kiss on my lips, then faced the sunset with high spirits, and said boldly, "Baby, where do you want to go?"
Qian Qian immediately arched her body: "I want to eat Malatang! And fried noodles!"
Malatang and fried noodles, this is the most real happiness between me and this girl who always defines her position as an ordinary girl. From the days when we played with mud in the alley to now traveling on vacation in a different world, Qian
Qian has never changed at all. This is what I like most about her.
But Academy City is a place...
Can you really find Malatang and fried noodles?
"Hmm! Barbecue is not bad either!"
Malatang was not found, but we did find a barbecue stall. Should it be dramatic? This magical barbecue uncle who appeared many times in the original work, who is known as the universal stall owner who traveled through Doraemon, was actually found.
Qianqian and I met.
"Haha, Jun, this squid skewer is really delicious!"
Qian Qian ate until her mouth was shiny and she spoke vaguely.
I swallowed the squid skewers handed over to me and stretched out my hand to say, "Boss! Two more grilled lamb chops!"
"Oh! That's good!"
“And two more roasted potatoes!”
"Oh! That's good!"
"...What about the baked vermicelli?"
"Oh! That's good!"
"Uncle, do you have grilled sperm whale ribs here?"
"Oh! That's good!"
Then I was shocked.
"Hey, Ajun," Qianqian suddenly came over quietly and asked in a low voice, "Do you think we want to roast the wings of Archosaur Dragon..."
"You need to wait a moment for that. The meat of the Archosaur is not very easy to cook... Haha, I'm just kidding. I'm not a magician. I can't change the Archosaur or anything like that."
The barbecue uncle smiled heartily as he grilled the pile of weird things that Qian Qian ordered and me and brought them up.
At this moment, a very familiar voice came from behind us: "Hey, Uncle Director? And Sister Qianqian, why are you here?"
"Kuroko? And Mikoto?"
I turned around, and when I saw the person clearly, I couldn't help but scream out in surprise, and then I reacted slowly. A knife hit a certain Lily girl with ponytails: "You want to call me brother, you bastard! What is the reason for your differential treatment?"
What’s going on!?”
Shirai Kuroko held his head, glanced at me secretly, and then suddenly put on an exaggerated delusional expression. He closed his eyes and held his heart with his hands and said: "Ah, today is a rare date time for Kuroko and onee-sama. It took a lot of effort to get here."
Kuroko came here with his elder sister without disturbing his happy time... Hey, speaking of the director growing up... Ahem, are the director's brother and Qianqian's sister also dating? In this way, we are two couples.
We are a couple, it’s really a memorable encounter.”
But don’t you think that one man and three women would fall into a strange situation no matter how they are grouped together as two couples?
Compared to my complaints, Misaka Mikoto's solution is simpler: there is a crackle of thunder, and Kuroko flies out of the game.
"Didn't you force me to come out!? When did it become a date, you curious guy!" With lightning lingering all over her body, Misaka Mikoto shouted angrily to Kuroko Shirai, who was smoking on the ground not far away,
Then he suddenly turned his face to me who was watching the show, "And you! What happened that day! Why did you suddenly leave me alone, and then a pipe exploded and a factory boiler went out of control?
Are incidents like this related to you?"
When she said the last sentence, Misaka Mikoto, who was originally in a state of rage, also lowered her voice and leaned over to ask in a low voice.
The boiler is out of control? The pipe is exploding? Aleister, do you dare to be lazy any more? Then a large area has turned into a basin, and several remote buildings have suffered devastating attacks. Even now, the medical institutions there are still full. You
They said it was because the boiler was out of control? Are all Academy City's boilers burning uranium-235!?
Well, anyway, the issue of the aftermath has been pushed to that old fox. As you like, I don’t have any problem with him even saying that someone set off illegal fireworks and firecrackers, causing half of the city to be blown up into the sky.
Looking at Misaka Mikoto's angry but stubbornly concerned face, I smiled slightly, and then whispered: "The sisters are safe."
"What?"
This kind of answer was obviously something Misaka Mikoto didn't expect at all. Although she mentioned Misaka's sister that day, she didn't expect that just by mentioning it, we would even use it in terrorist attacks (she thought of it herself).
After settling the whole matter, the girl was in horror.
"What's that look in your eyes?"
I looked at Misaka Mikoto unhappily, "We used legitimate and legal means to make Academy City's leaders change his views on life through humanitarian influence, and we also carefully and friendly educated the main participants of the entire experiment.
classmate……"
Qian Qian nodded aside and added: "Although explosions, explosions, and explosions were used in the process..."
"But it's all in the name of love and peace!"
"Hey, hey, are you kidding?" Misaka Mikoto didn't know how well she had imagined our actions at this time. She looked at me with the eyes of an American envoy who was negotiating head-on with the Taliban. "It must be a joke."
Bar?!"
"Anyway, don't worry about the process," I smiled and pressed Misaka Mikoto's head, "Our identity, how should I say, is quite special. After taking some special measures yesterday, the 'Absolute Abilities Project' was safely terminated.
Now, the Misakas should be transferred to my research institute for physical adjustment in the next few days. You can come and see them at any time then..."
"Is this true..." Misaka Mikoto lowered her head and suddenly asked in a low voice. Before I could answer, she had already continued, "Is this true... is it really over... really?"
of……"
"it is true."
I put my hands on Misaka Mikoto's shoulders and said slightly, "So, don't cry..."
"No, I'm not!" Misaka Mikoto suddenly raised her head. Although her eyes were still a little red, she had stopped crying, "I'm just a little, a little excited, so I didn't cry!"
"Okay, okay, I'm not crying, I'm not crying," looking at Misaka Mikoto like this, I somehow felt like I usually coax a little bubble, "Then to celebrate, how about treating you to a barbecue?
"
"Uncle -" At this time, a gloomy voice suddenly came from behind us. Shirai Kuroko, who had been forgotten for a long time by everyone, unexpectedly resurrected with full blood, and now he was standing behind me with black smoke lingering all over his body, "
It’s unforgivable… I actually made onee-sama cry… It’s unforgivable!!!”
"Hey! Don't pounce on me suddenly! I am your senior, at least...hey to me!"
