The android girl will not dream of the fairy knight sister

　There is no answer ahead that you expect, only the answer that you don’t want to know and the fact that you don’t want to see with your own eyes.

　Why save?

　Isn't it normal to be destroyed after doing such a thing?

　Bloodshed begets bloodshed, and hatred begets hatred.

　The whirlpool will indiscriminately swallow up all beings that are trapped in it and cannot escape.

　This is the law, an unchangeable law.

　I have done well enough.

　Leave the rest to them, there are some roads that only they can move forward on.

　For that region, for the future they wanted to reclaim—

　I am a redundant existence.

　"But even so..."

　In the room with only one person in it, the girl's gem-like pupils still radiated color.

　“I have reasons to watch this.”

　This matter has nothing to do with Chaldea or the world; it is simply a choice made by one's own will.

　No matter how broken the world is, no matter how dark humanity is, she will still take her own steps.

　"I only do what I think is right, that's all. I am not a righteous partner, nor an evil enemy. I am just myself."

　The only reason why mankind will be destroyed is human evil, which has the greatest impact in the world and directly affects every individual.

　The girl's voice seemed to be talking to herself, or to someone, and it echoed softly in the room.

　The light of the universe is still flickering, and the cold walls are emitting a metallic luster.

　"Tap...tap..."

　The sound of footsteps slowly began.

　Golden pupils reflected the red eyes, and the white coat kept swaying due to the wind.

　"Are you ready? You?"

　"People eventually grow in the process of loss, and—"

　The girl stretched out her voice slightly towards the Chaldean man in front of her, not considering whether there was a third person listening.

　"Even without me, they will definitely be able to achieve that goal. It's just that the length and difficulty of the process are different.

　It is. ”

　492

　"Really? Is this really okay for you? Considering that Lostbelt in this world as the end of your journey?"

　"The road has already been opened. All Ritsuka and Mashu have to do is keep moving forward no matter what happens or what they have to give up. That's all."

　"Have you ever considered that the pain of losing you would completely overwhelm them?"

　"Pain is proof of our existence, isn't it? No matter what happens, we must bear the pain. Even if it means drowning ourselves. One day, the memory may fade, but the pain will never stop."

　"Besides, a temporary loss doesn't mean a future loss. It's true that I can't enter Antarctica. But what if Ritsuka and Mashu open the restrictions? You know what happens when your counter-summoning fails? All I have to do is disguise it."

　"...Do you like humans that much?"

　The girl smiled slightly at the man's question.

　"After all... my life was given to me by a hopeless idiot, and my soul was also given to me by a hopeless idiot. Isn't it normal to be like this?"

　If there is someone who grits his teeth, endures the pain, and reaches out to the unreachable stars—

　She was on the side that shot down the stars.

　Involuntarily, these words emerged in the man's mind.

　"You are really..."

　The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and there was a hint of joy hidden in the man's indifferent tone.

　"What a hopeless fool."

　Looking at the smiling girl in front of him, the man had a blank expression on his face.

　I think...

　This is probably that wish...

　To become an ordinary person, that wish, a wish of the same nature.

　It's just an artificial life form, just a human evil.

　only...

　Just a fool.

　As the man rang, he slowly closed his eyes.

　This is probably what is meant by the saying "latecomers surpass the leaders".

　Human nature... is such a complicated thing.

　"—In summary, the three local investigators have returned from the mysterious dimension. The return date for business consultant Holmes is undetermined..."

　In the command room, Goldruf sat facing Ritsuka Fujimaru, Mashu, and Kadoc, fulfilling his duties as the director.

　"It looks like you've recharged your batteries after an hour's rest, haven't you? Did you clean your ceremonial attire as ordered?"

　Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded as he took the hot tea from a hand that looked familiar but also seemed unfamiliar in this environment.

　"Yes, we have delivered the gift suits used in the singularity to the laboratory. Thank you very much for your maintenance."

　"That's a good answer, Kyrielight. Ritsuka also nodded. Very good."

　While responding to Mash's words, Goldruf subconsciously ignored a certain discordant figure and turned his gaze to Kadoc standing beside him.

　"So, Cadoc Zelupus, how's it going on your end? Are you delivering well?"

　"...More or less. This is a direct order from the Commander-in-Chief. I'm not stupid enough to disobey."

　Speaking of which...where is that Pepe Longino?

　The girl looked around at the employees around her, and the silver waterfall behind her swayed gently.

　"Well, that's good. You're very honest. To be honest, my evaluation of you is better than I expected."

　Goldruf nodded in satisfaction after listening to Kadoc's words.

　"You did a great job with this singularity too. Olive oil, yes, it's as active as olive oil."

　What kind of weird metaphor is this?

　Kadoc and the girl looked at each other, both complaining about Goldruf's words in their eyes.

　Wait...is there something wrong?

　Kadoc turned his head sharply and looked at the girl who stood inconspicuously in the crowd.

　"Although Ritsuka is a battle-hardened Master, she's not a magus at heart, just an ordinary citizen. Occasionally, things do go against my direction as a cold-blooded magus."

　"What's wrong? Is there a problem, Cadoc?"

　The corners of Kadoc's mouth twitched slightly, and he suddenly began to feel that joining Chaldea was not the right thing to do.

　Sure enough, Pepeloncino was lying to him! He said he had interesting information so he went to investigate it himself, but he just ran away!

　Following Kadoc's gaze, Goldsuit saw the girl's appearance, which left an extremely deep impression on him.

　"Oh, it's Sieg! What? I thought we were being invaded—"

　Invasion?

　Isn't it an invasion if you board a ship without any permission?

　"Where did you come up from?"

　"walk the stair."

　Indeed, this bridge command post is indeed the tallest building, so take the stairs into the gate and then enter this

　493

　The room was completely reasonable.

　What a ghost!

　The radar doesn't even show any magic fluctuations!

　"I'm asking where you entered this ship?"

　You know, they are flying at full speed now!

　That's Mach 22! How did you get on board before the radar even showed up?

　"From the tarmac inside the hangar."

　Ah... is that so?

　That hangar that remains empty for some reason?

　So it was prepared for you as a carrier-based aircraft?

　Carrier-based Albion or something, sounds full of mecha warfare atmosphere, doesn't it?

　Goldruff stopped thinking.

　-

　The Reversed Yang: I. The Beginning

　"Ms. Zieger? Why are you here with us?"

　Compared to Goldruf who stayed in the rear and rarely rushed to the front line, Mashu, as a frontline worker, almost recovered from the shock quickly and asked the girl in front of him:

　"How should I put it?"

　Hearing Mash's question, the girl's face showed a rare expression of extreme seriousness and a hint of confusion.

　"If I must put it bluntly, the next Lostbelt will be the last time you and I travel together..."

　"For the last time? Sieg, is there something going on over there?"

　Listening to the girl's words, Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't help but look at Mashu, and their eyes met in the air.

　"No, not my side, but your side."

　The girl shook her head gently, and her tone gradually became a little helpless.

　"Humanity's problems should be solved by humans themselves. This is the proper ending of the story. If you overuse them during your journey, or if you rely on forces that shouldn't be used, you will be in a passive position. It's like the saying goes, 'He who keeps company with vermilion becomes red, and he who keeps company with ink becomes black.'"

　"Through your interactions and dealings with these powers, you in New Chaldea have gradually become tainted with powers that humanity neither recognizes nor accepts. If you wish to move forward, you must give something up. You can only continue forward with your own strength, so..."

　The scarlet dragon's eyes radiate beautiful light and determination.

　"This is probably the last time I'll help you. From now on, I'll have to ask you to walk the path on your own."

　"Is that so? Indeed, certain abnormal powers should not appear in normal summons..."

　Leonardo da Vinci's voice slowly came from the radio.

　"Commander Goldruff, what do you think? This is a very serious matter, in a sense. It's just a hypothesis, but if it's true as Sieg-chan said, New Chaldea might actually be shut out of human society."

　Hasn't it been like this since ancient times?

　People who rely on the power of others to achieve their goals are never worthy of trust.

　For a country that joins forces with other countries to attack in order to seize a country, the outcome is often self-evident.

　"Indeed, as the technical advisor said, the information you provided is very valuable. However, sometimes, for the sake of the present, we have to overdraft our future. After all, if we can't even transcend the present, no matter how brilliant the future is, it will be meaningless."

　"It's perfectly natural for humanity to end its own destruction... but you just mentioned that this is the final journey. As much as I hate to think that way, there must be something bad going on there, something we can't overcome, or something we can only overcome at a great cost, right?"

　Listening to Goldruff's words, the girl's eyes narrowed into crescent shapes. The man in front of her, who suddenly seemed so reliable, began to overlap with the boy in her memory who would only sneak into the kitchen at night to eat.

　"That's right. I want you to be in good enough shape and have the ability to handle the unpredictable road ahead. So I'll be here with you one last time."
