The android girl will not dream of the fairy knight sister

　The burst of strong light seemed to have the power to pin the Bat King to the ground. His eyes, filled with madness, stared at the girl in front of him who was looking down at him like a princess.

　Sometimes, actions can be more effective than words.

　For a king of a fallen country who has lost his mind and is hovering on the brink of life and death, there is only one best way to wake him up.

　"Although it may hurt a little, I'm sorry, I still want to communicate with normal people."

　A gentle sun-like light shone in Camazotz's pupils. He felt neither pain nor warmth, and his body, which had been transformed and no longer suitable for combat, once again felt pain and tenderness.

　The pain in the soul is to remember, and the pain in the body is to prove that we are alive.

　The numb body felt the pain, the blurred mind recovered a little, and the eyes filled with madness regained clarity.

　Sometimes, when a part of a body is in unbearable pain, people will vent their feelings by hurting themselves.

　By causing pain and drawing attention to one place, it reduces the pain felt elsewhere.

　"Are you awake?"

　The fist slowly moved away from Camazotz's face, and the cheek that was originally sunken due to the excessive force returned to its original state in a moment.

　"You are..."

　what?

　ort disappeared, but now a very similar thing appeared in front of him.

　A strange yet familiar look.

　The girl frowned slightly. After all, she really didn't want to deal with such a person.

　It's too troublesome...

　“The pain won’t go away, but you shouldn’t dwell on it either.”

　The girl thought for a moment and then spoke slowly.

　503

　I hope Merlin's so-called conversation skills can be of some use...

　"..."

　Camazotz stared at the girl in front of him in silence.

　"That pain is proof that they have lived, but that proof needs someone who can understand and read it, and you are that person."

　"..."

　"The past will never be forgotten, you just can't recall it. What you have to do is to carry it on your back and move forward, right?"

　"They entrusted their lives to you, believing you to be a king worthy of their all, a king for whom they would sacrifice their entire family's life. So—"

　You shouldn't let them down.

　“I shouldn’t let them down.”

　That's right...

　Even if there is nothing left.

　If the country is good, so are its people.

　Even if he has nothing, he is still constantly blessed.

　For what are we being watched, for what are we being blessed, for what are we being offered...

　I am the proof that my people once existed.

　All sacrifices are meaningful, and this meaning must never become meaningless to oneself.

　"The world is cruel, but it is also gentle. Even the brave will retire one day, and no matter how painful it is, we can pause for a moment."

　“Even if you have nothing left on your body, there will always be something you haven’t discovered, watching over you and accompanying you.”

　As the girl spoke, she pointed her finger at the sky.

　Kazma looked in the direction the girl pointed, and his pupils shrank instantly.

　Above the sky, the stars are constantly twinkling.

　The night has not come, but the stars are still shining brightly.

　"If you are overwhelmed by pain, all your people will suffer."

　"Keep your head up, Camazotz."

　The girl spoke slowly, her voice extremely gentle.

　"You have done well. You are a king that your people can be proud of."

　Just like things that are expected are expected.

　The brave heroes in fairy tales always have a fairy-tale ending, don’t they?

　The day has dawned, the hero has defeated the demon king, and it is time to embark on the journey home.

　Kazma was silent for a moment, then slowly stood up and spread his wings behind him.

　Human evil: forgetfulness.

　In order not to forget, in order to remember——

　He looked at the girl calmly, then spread his wings and flew away.

　He already knew what that strange yet familiar feeling was.

　hope.

　In this world where the only outcome for humanity is destruction, hope has long since disappeared.

　so...

　She is both familiar and unfamiliar.

　Like a rusty gear starting to turn again, Camazotz flew towards the Fourth Underworld.

　That's right.

　The devil is dead.

　It's time for the hero to go home.

　-

　"The fate of a warrior..."

　Yanwujing reached out and scratched his long golden hair in annoyance.

　"Who knows, this kind of stuff is too complicated for me."

　As the girl spoke, she slowly stood up and carried U-Olga Marie, who was still in a coma.

　"Looking at your condition, it won't be long before you're kicked out, right? Even with that Chaldea man's protection, you probably won't be able to hold out for much longer, right?"

　"No, it's not that I can't hold on for much longer, but it's a miracle that I can hold on until now."

　The orange-haired and white-clothed man slowly emerged with the sound of the smoke mirror, a beautiful light flashing in his golden pupils.

　"It's okay with me. After all, I'm already... used to it..."

　"Numbness is not a good thing."

　"I know, but for Ritsuka and the others, I have no choice but to leave."

　The man in white was silent for a moment, then sighed helplessly.

　"Believe in them. They have come this far not only because of your help and their luck, but more importantly, because of their inner determination."

　"...I know, so I'd like to ask you for a favor."

　A slight smile appeared on the girl's face.

　"Could you please pass her over to Chaldea for me?"

　The man in white frowned slowly, and a little smoke rose from the cigarette that he had been holding in his mouth for a while.

　"You're right. Being numb isn't a good thing. Instead of waiting to be expelled, it's better to leave on your own, even though this might break the contract..."

　The girl looked towards the clear sky in the distance.

　"But there's still a chance, isn't it? Storm Border is a ship. If it's a ship, there will definitely be people getting on and off. Although I just got on board, I still want to say sorry. I have to get off.

　The boat

　504

　. "

　"...I understand. I'll pass it on for you. Is there anything else you want to tell me?"

　The girl shook her head gently, and then her figure disappeared on the spot.

　"Humanity is such a jerk, isn't it? Such cruelty towards such a gentle child."

　Smoke Mirror exhaled a long puff of smoke, with a hint of anger in his tone.

　"She'll come back. She takes her promises very seriously. She's the kind of person who would fulfill them even if it meant destroying herself."

　"I told you, she has changed. She is no longer the reversed Sun. The sun will not fall from the sky to the ground."

　Reversed...

　It's not just the sun that's reversing now.

　Return to the Past: I. The City in Silver

　The wind was howling, blowing up large flakes of white snowflakes that were flying aimlessly in the dark sky covered by dark clouds.

　It was summer, a time full of life, but at this moment it looked like a dying old man, a world that was crumbling and almost dying.

　The thick clouds blocked the sunlight and the temperature on the ground continued to drop.

　Organisms continue to die one after another due to sudden changes in the environment.

　What's happening here...?

　The short heels made a hole of medium depth on the white snow, and white breath floated out of the girl's mouth as she exhaled slightly.

　The long silver hair danced wildly behind her in the strong wind, and her body began to heat up subconsciously.

　The snowflakes were completely evaporated before they even touched the body, and the snow underfoot began to melt slowly, revealing the cracked ground that had long lost all fertility and moisture.

　There was a blizzard outside, but it was extremely dry inside.

　The girl looked at the town in the distance that was faintly visible in the blizzard and slowly squatted down.

　The slender fingers gently touched the exposed ground, and the radio and television, like fireflies, full of gentleness and warmth, merged into the ground.

　The dry and cracked ground was like a dew that had finally come after a long drought, and the hideous cracks began to heal like wounds.

　The tender green branches and grass began to spread out from the girl's fingers.

　The Earth is supposed to repair itself.

　The girl slowly stood up and put on her mask.

　but why?

　Is the earth dying?

　Why has the core become empty?

　The heart of the Earth is about to stop beating.

　The girl's thoughts gradually drifted away.

　At first, she was planning to do an experiment, trying to deceive the world and make it think that she was a being that did not need to be expelled, so that she could move around freely.

　But she succeeded, or failed.

　She had indeed entered this world unhindered, and Humanity had not expelled her, for it was already half dead and could do nothing about her.

　Then, before she could understand what was happening, a unilateral communication came from Earth.

　The content is very simple, just a call for help.
