The android girl will not dream of the fairy knight sister

　"I will never forgive you, a husband who abandoned his wife and contracted the disease called 'Hero'."

　"That's exactly what I want. This way, I will stay with you forever until you forgive me."

　So corny...

　The girl looked at her parents in a sense and sighed slowly, then turned around and prepared to leave. After all, there was still something to be done over there.

　"Sieg."

　But, just before the girl turned and left.

　Kriemhild called her.

　"come back earlier."

　The corners of her mouth curved slightly, and the girl turned around and nodded slightly.

　"Ah."

　Watching the girl disappear from the spot, Kriemhild slowly turned around and stood beside Siegfried, looking sharply at the few people who had just come over.

　"So, what is the relationship between you and Sieg?"

　What does it matter?

　481

　Now, confess everything to me."

　-

　Countless water drops gather together and flow down from a great height, and under the action of gravity, they continue to fall straight into the abyss below.

　The sound of the waterfall never stopped for a moment, or rather, it has never stopped since he created this waterfall.

　Falling couldn't kill Holmes; that was fate.

　No matter how he calculates, no matter how the data changes, the result is the same.

　Holmes and Moriarty fell into the Reichenbach Falls. Holmes survived, but Moriarty remained there forever.

　Mathematics does not deceive, and calculations do not conceal.

　Everything was already known to him.

　These are the keys, his keys, the keys that unlock everything.

　But there is only Sherlock Holmes, who cannot calculate and cannot come up with a result.

　Therefore, he wanted to destroy fate and let the good-for-nothing old criminal boss who called himself a fifty-year-old white-haired bar uncle see that he was the ideal Moriarty.

　From now on, I will never sprain my waist just by moving casually!

　The first plan to be carried out for this is -

　Kill Holmes!

　The young man Moriarty, who was sitting on a chair with his legs crossed, slowly opened his eyes when he heard the footsteps coming from his ears.

　In his sight, countless thin lines were densely connected to him and Holmes. Some of them were emitting light, while others were extremely dim.

　What is shining is the destiny that is currently in progress, while what is dim is the destiny that has already ended or has not yet begun.

　Everyone has more or less the string of fate hanging on their body, just like a puppet.

　Until Moriarty saw the girl who suddenly appeared and the chains she dragged behind her.

　That should be... her fate?

　Moriarty raised his eyebrows and looked at the girl very carefully.

　Not sure, take another look.

　Um...

　I didn’t see the string of fate...is that really the case?

　Looking at the broken chains, Moriarty remained silent.

　-

　Interlude: Seventeen: A Certain Detective

　The sound of water from the waterfall did not cease with the arrival of the few people. Everything exists for a reason. The only difference is whether this meaning can be used.

　Take the sound of running water, for example. It's a beautiful sound that helps people sleep and appreciate beautiful scenery, but it can also be a sound that announces the countdown to someone's death.

　Holmes hesitated for a moment as he looked at the Reichenbach Falls in front of him.

　"Holmes?"

　Looking at the hesitant Holmes, Caddock couldn't help but remind him.

　"Feel sorry..."

　Holmes quickly realized what was happening and shook his head.

　After all, this is just the Reichenbach that Moriadin created...

　"After all, this is a place that has left vivid memories for me."

　Although he still felt uneasy inside, Holmes still focused his attention on Moriarty who was still sitting.

　"This is where you died once, so it's not surprising that you have this reaction. But, shouldn't it be the same for Moriarty?"

　As Kadoc spoke, he looked at Moriarty in front of him, who looked like he had everything under control, and said hesitantly.

　"That's what should be done, but—"

　Holmes was interrupted by Moriarty's sudden appearance before he could finish his words.

　"Yes, there is no doubt that this is the Reichenbach with its unpleasant memories. Moriarty died by falling, and the fall could not kill Holmes's fate."

　Reaching out and picking up the high-heeled glass on the table beside him, Moriarty gently shook the red wine inside. His eyes looked at everyone through the scarlet wine and the wall of the glass.

　"However, only by overcoming it can one truly be said to have broken through fate."

　The girl slightly widened her eyes as she listened to Moriarty's words, and the bright light and complex patterns in her eyes looked straight at Moriarty without any concealment.

　Destiny...

　The girl silently repeated Moriarty's words in her heart.

　"Don't you think so, Holmes-senpai? And Sieg-senpai, who has transcended fate first?"

　The girl tilted her head slightly as she listened to Moriarty's words.

　-

　The other party was right, her fate was now sealed.

　To constrain her, the world had created a destiny out of something that didn't exist, and then transformed it into chains that bound her tightly.

　Saving the world, the one you love, Siegfried's weakness and the ending.

　Various chains and various destinies control her direction.

　482

　During this period, it doesn't matter what she becomes. Some chains are large, enough to restrain her when she completely transforms into a beast, while others are very small, enough to tie her limbs tightly when she is a human and a hero.

　but...

　The reason humans can continue to move forward is because they grow.

　Once you grow up, you can never go back to the past.

　The thin chains broke as the figure grew larger, and the thick chains were easily broken free by the figure.

　The constraints of fate have long been a completely non-existent thing for her.

　Everything has a meaning for its birth.

　So it is with fate, whose will is to bind and to be broken free.

　You can only choose one of the two.

　The girl chose the latter, took off the shackles on her own hands, and embarked on the path of her choice.

　Even if the road ahead is unclear, even if the path ahead cannot be clearly shown.

　But, this is exactly what Ziggy wants.

　A road that is unclear, a road that is different from the previous one.

　-

　"James Moriarty..."

　Unlike the silent girl, Holmes slowly spoke the other person's name, the pipe in his hand silently emitting white smoke.

　"Come on, Mr. Holmes, tell me, have you found the answer?"

　"My true self, my purpose, my truth, can you successfully touch it?"

　Gazing at the swirling wine in the glass, Moriarty asked the question lazily, as if this wasn't some serious occasion, but rather a casual conversation at home.

　Holmes fell silent, his gaze lingering between the girl and Moriarty, his mind aching in waves, as if reminding him of something, something to notice.

　Seeing Holmes' silence, Moriarty did not express anything, but turned his attention to the girl.

　"So, Senior Sieg, what about you? Can you discover my truth?"

　The girl blinked, then as if suddenly realizing something, she reached out and tossed Moriarty a gold coin.

　The front and back sides kept spinning in the air. In Moriarty's view, one side of the coin represented the past and the other side represented the future.

　Although he didn't know why he came to this conclusion, Moriarty still maintained his composure and followed the gold coin quietly.

　"Ding--"

　The gold coin fell to the ground and bounced back, with a crisp sound accompanied by continuous vibrations.

　Until the last time it landed, the gold coin stopped upright.

　Neither positive nor negative.

　"Oh——this is a very dramatic scene! Senior——"

　Moriarty was silent for a moment and then burst into laughter, drinking the red wine in his hand.

　"I see! That's what you meant!"

　While smiling, Moriarty slowly stood up, picked out a wine glass from the side, and poured in the fine red wine.

　The so-called comedy and drama of fate is really addictive.

　"Ah—compared to Holmes-senpai, Sieg-senpai is definitely a cut above the rest."

　The girl took the red wine handed to her by Moriarty, and her eyes narrowed slightly.

　This guy... even fooled himself...

　But it's true, if you want to deceive the world, you must first deceive yourself.

　"Well, Senior Holmes, let's get started, shall we? We've been sitting for so long, it's time to stretch our legs, right?"

　"Oh! It's my turn now, right, Master?"

　The moment Moriarty finished speaking, Charlemagne's figure appeared behind Fujimaru Ritsuka.

　"No, I hope we can wait a little longer. Miss Zig, please don't interfere with anything that happens next. This is my personal request to you as Sherlock Holmes."

　"Holmes?"

　Listening to Holmes' words, Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at him in disbelief.

　"I'm hoping for a one-on-one showdown between me and Moriarty."

　"real or fake?"

　"I mean it. I have a feeling—I have a reason to do it."

　Holmes responded to Charlemagne's questions calmly, then put away his pipe.

　"Is this okay, Master?"

　Charlemagne's face was filled with worry.
