"[You participate in this scene, but not that scene]" Irisviel hummed while cleaning the window glass: "[The answer to the riddle is the answer to the riddle]"
"...I nodded after listening to it for a long time." Sherlock twirled the wand on his fingertips and looked at the serious-looking Batman in front of him: "What's the name of this song?"
"["The Whitest Day"]," Batman replied in a hoarse voice: "[You'd better not sing along]."
"Is it because there is some 'word spirit' factor in it?"
"[Because she is already C——]"
"What did you say? My dear, I can't hear you clearly-" Irisviel shouted from the other side of the carriage.
"[Because I am Batman.]" Batman replied.
"..."
Sherlock, who was not in a position to comment on this, turned his gaze to the car window.
At this time, the "subspace stars" that could still be seen a little bit had completely disappeared. The scenery outside the car window was completely covered by the "deep sea", and it was indeed like Illya, no, as Ms. Shirahoshi claimed.
, beautiful and bright, if you don’t occasionally see strange-looking deep-sea fish and "sea kings" passing by, it would be no problem to say that it is an aquarium that has been carefully designed and specially designed to be displayed to the audience.
From the moment the "Galaxy Train" entered this blue sky and headed straight towards the "Earth", the clock on the second structure stopped. According to Sherlock's calculation of his own heartbeat, one hour and twenty-seven minutes had passed.
During this period, "White Star" opened his eyes several times, turning his blurred eyes to look at the seven kingdoms and the earth in turn, and then closed them again. It seemed that he didn't notice the approaching train, and he didn't seem to care at all.
"Is the true form of the 'Lord of Dimensions' so big?" Sherlock has seen Odin's huge true form, but it is still slightly inferior in comparison.
"[The strength of the Lord of Dimensions depends on the size of the dimension,]" Batman did not look out the window: "[And the 'ocean dimension' is much 'bigger' than you think.]"
Well, it can be seen that the concept of "ocean" is indeed a bit too broad after all... Thinking about it, when she sent the students from Hogwarts to compete in Asgard, the image may have been compressed several times.
posture.
"What am I going to do next?" Sherlock stared at the "Earth": "It must not be stopping at the station and then I get off with my luggage."
"[If you want to do this, although the fixed platform of the earth is at the London Clock Tower, building a temporary platform is also——]"
"[——!——!]"
Halfway through Batman's words, the "train conductor" wearing a conductor's costume and a black mist inside danced and rushed in from the direction of the carriage, shouting incomprehensible syllables.
"A collision? What? We are still far away from 'Earth'-"
In the middle of Irisviel's words, the entire "Galaxy Train" shook extremely violently.
Boom——!
——???——
[Those who advance with the fire will surely meet their destined death.]
【Lord Faded One...】
[Even though... the 'Deathly Hallows'... has been broken long ago, you still... please become... the 'Supreme Mage'. 】
call--!
Sherlock woke up suddenly, gasping for air, his heart pounding.
The scene he just saw and the few words he heard were clearly what he wanted to pray to Ms. Shirahoshi after obtaining the Holy Grail - to allow him to return to the border and meet "Melina" who was more than a friend but not yet a lover.
After all, he clearly had the opportunity to become the "Supreme Mage", but chose to leave with "Lani", which is somewhat... um... suspected of being a "scumbag".
Especially since the entire border was left to her.
That stupid little witch may have messed up a lot of things, but at least she doesn't have to burn herself anymore.
After Sherlock refocused his scattered thoughts, he realized that something was wrong.
Although he is still sitting on the seat of the "train", the "train" is no longer the same one.
Most of the walls and ceiling of this carriage were covered with a large number of iron-gray dry vines, and even the uncovered areas were full of dark red rust and dark stains.
A large number of interior decorations, seats and tables were missing from the carriage, and the remaining furniture, including the one he was sitting on, all looked abandoned and dilapidated.
The window glass was completely shattered, and the remaining sharp glass fragments were hooked on the cloth of unknown material, swaying from time to time in the breeze.
What is outside the car window is not the starry sky or gray fog, but a huge, dead forest. A large number of indistinguishable woody plants and shrubs appear to be dry or burned, and the colors are the same as those inside the car.
The vines are generally pale iron-gray in color.
Has the Galaxy Train crashed into some strange world? But this is in front of Ms. Shirahoshi?
That’s all, that’s it for now, first——
Buzz!
When Sherlock was about to do something, there was a brief sound of metal cutting and burning from one end of the abandoned carriage. Then, the carriage door and the plants clinging to it turned into sparks and scattered.
Then, Melina stepped in.
"Ah..." Sherlock got stuck mid-sentence.
Although Melina's appearance has not changed much, her temperament and expression are completely different from the last time she saw her.
One of the pair of blue eyes that always showed playfulness and joy was closed for some reason, and was "sealed" with a certain pattern. The other eye was unusually cold, and it looked at countless lives as if it were a god from above.
As indifferent as birth and death before your eyes.
Her costume is not the strange but beautiful witch robe that combines the Witch of the West and modern uniforms, but a pitch black robe with a hood that covers her whole body, as well as the trousers that occasionally leak out during her movements.
Completely black.
And what she was holding in her hand was no longer the golden dagger that she was already familiar with, but a silver-blue long sword that was more than one meter long and had a gorgeous and solemn shape.
What happened to her? No, how long had she been gone?
Sherlock had many things to say and many questions to ask, but they were all stuck in his throat and he couldn't ask them.
If I were still looking like "Stephen Strange", I would still be confident that I could melt her coldness, but at the moment I am just "Sherlock Holmes", and if I get too close to him rashly, she might kill her casually.
Although there are countless ways to save yourself, you will definitely miss this rare opportunity to get along.
Thoughtstorming for a long time to no avail, in the end, Sherlock showed up as a young boy staring blankly at the uninvited guest.
Melina didn't look at Sherlock twice and walked straight through the carriage to the other end. She just said without any fluctuation in her tone as she passed him: "If you want to leave, just follow me."
She didn't ask any questions about why she was here or who she was. It seemed like she was very confident that she could solve any trouble.
But fortunately, at least the sound has not changed, such as adding electronic sounds or reverberation, maybe...
Sherlock jumped off the seat, but because he was distracted, he accidentally tripped over the vines on the floor. When he looked up, he saw Melina looking back at him, with a hint of doubt in her indifferent eyes.
.
"What's the matter?" Sherlock pretended to be stupid.
