"I'm going out~ What would Miss Mary want to eat tonight?"
“Miso soup, if I may?”
"..."
It was noon, and Lin Hao, who was carrying a basket, and Olga Marie, who was tinkering with the time machine, were having the same conversation as before. But to Ryunosuke, their conversation was as heavy and heavy as a yellow bell.
They were loud, and the pressure they brought could even make him clearly feel his own heartbeat.
"Where is Ryuzosuke?" Lin Hao turned around lightly and smiled at him.
No, maybe she didn't actually intend to smile at all at first. It was just because the sunshine here was too dazzling that she had to squint her eyes. In order to prevent herself from being noticed by her poor position, she made a smile that suited her eyes.
It's just a change of expression.
"Ignore the food for now, come with me." Ryunosuke said in a deep voice, then took a few steps forward and grabbed her wrist.
"Eh... okay then." Lin Hao blinked doubtfully and handed the basket she was holding in her other hand to Olga Marie.
In the past, he was probably blind, so he thought she was a natural idiot... Ryuzosuke paid attention to the changes in her expression from beginning to end. When he heard his unreasonable request, he blinked her eyes twice.
The micro-expression changed three times.
If I had to add lines to those expressions...
——Ryuunosuke made another mistake.
——Has there ever been a time when he failed to hit the second grade?
——[In this case, there is nothing we can do].
How come he never knew that his childhood sweetheart had so much inner drama?
No, there are still some signs. When it's just her and herself, she will occasionally utter a word or two, but when there are any outsiders present, she always looks stupid and natural.
But in fact, I have been complaining in my heart!
As for why I discovered it, it was undoubtedly because of her unreasonable death in the "last world".
[Cu Chulainn]'s "Noble Phantasm Attack" was "reflected" by the construct equipped with the "Mirror Shield". It should have just hit Ryunosuke, and Illya and Kallen's rescue methods were already ready.
, but some kind of magic or magic diverted the attack earlier, and then accurately hit Lin Hao's heart a few kilometers away.
Afterwards, Karen and Ilia confirmed that the "transfer" was affected by some kind of trigger magic on Lin Hao, but since it had been triggered and disappeared, it was impossible to deduce what it was.
Ryunosuke, full of grief and anger, returned this time and did not intend to cause trouble with Leif. He first took this naturally stupid childhood sweetheart to remove the stupid trigger magic.
————
"It turns out to be [SelfGeasScroll]?" Illya, who was asked to check, looked at Lin Hao in surprise: "No, no, this magic is more effective, otherwise it would not be able to attack the Noble Phantasm.
Move them all away."
"What is the effect of that thing?" Ryuzosuke glanced at Lin Hao, whose expression was somewhere between "Oh, I've been discovered" and "Strange, how could I find it?" and asked Illya.
"The effect is-"
Illya tilted her head and recognized it for a while:
"[When 'brother' suffers a 'fatal' injury, he transfers it to himself, and the price is to erase any relationship between you from the 'root' level.], wow, you are stupid, right?
When setting the conditions for such an oath, you must know that in the magical world, 'death' is not the end in many cases."
"Hey hey hey~" Lin Hao tried to pass the test by being cute.
But obviously, Ilia, who is younger than her and cuter than her, doesn't accept this trick: "Huh, let me just say, I vaguely heard that the Lin family is a brother and sister, and then you became an only child.
It's quite strange, that's what happened - but is it 'fatal' for someone to suffer from paralysis?"
"Even if you ask me..." Lin Hao looked at Ryuzosuke, "I only have this 'brother' now, and I have forgotten how the previous certificate was drawn up."
Yes, erase any relationship, including memory, even if we meet, we will not know each other.
In the previous "non-magical world", even if "that person" existed, it was probably to the extent that "the brother next door" was mistaken for "the Lin family brother". Sure enough, there are all kinds of strange things in the world of magic or magic.
"In terms of biology, this situation exists, such as sharks," Ryuuzhijie, who was sure that Lin Hao knew nothing, continued: "If a shark suffers from paralysis - assuming it can suffer from it - then it
It will sink directly to the bottom of the sea, but it will probably drown before that."
"Hmm..." Illya stared at Lin for a while, then turned to Ryunosuke: "Combined with the 'time machine' you are experimenting with, can I think that you killed her once? Maybe?
More than once?”
"...Yes." Ryunosuke couldn't refute this. After all, his current behavior was too strange. He had just awakened his magic ability and could find such a hidden trigger magic.
So this is the reason why Ilia never refused every time I asked her to beat someone? Have you guessed it a long time ago?
"How to avoid this effect?" Before Illya could say anything else, Ryuzosuke hurriedly interrupted her: "The opponent is the [Executor] of the [Seal Designation], and he has already set his sights on the time machine, isn't it?
We can solve it by avoiding it. In addition, for the sure-kill method, he can also forcibly transfer it to the enemy."
Since it is not a topic on the same level, Ryunosuke does not plan to tell Illya about the timeline or world line for the time being. As long as he has a way to deal with it, he can try every option of this "game" one by one -
—There will always be a way to ensure her survival.
"In this case... you have to find a Caster, a magician, to fight fire with fire - no, it's 'Only magic can defeat magic'," Illya said: "Even if the effect of this certificate cannot be suppressed, as long as it uses slow and low damage
Use other methods to defeat him. Even if you use transfer, it won't cause much damage."
Illya looked eager to give it a try, and she almost said "Choose me, choose me", but it didn't work. When she mainly borrowed Basaka's combat power before, she just supported her from the side, which was barely okay, but if she takes her
When the main force is placed on the dangerous front line, it will definitely be beaten to death by Mr. Kelly.
"As for Caster, what do you think of [Medea] who is always clinging to Kuzugi-sensei?" Ryunosuke changed the subject.
Although Ryunosuke is not sure whether the woman is Caster, at least the name is similar.
"If you find that female fox who is ten times more annoying than the violent nun, I won't go!" Illya shouted: "...but I can lend you Basaka temporarily."
I always feel that the relationship between these "pseudo-masters" and "pseudo-servants" is very subtle...
