I, Madoka Kaname, am just a Kamen Rider passing by

It can be said that as a teammate and comrade-in-arms, this man is perfect.

However, when Li Lin angrily tried to find the Second to argue, she only found Flatt in the El-Melloi classroom, and got the passport and plane ticket that the Second had prepared for her from him.

As the flight was tomorrow evening, after Li Lin packed her luggage, she and Shizijie started strolling on the streets of London.

"This guy is totally treating me like a child!"

She lowered her eyes to stare at the ground, a hint of resentment flashed in her golden eyes, and the pink-haired girl kicked the ground while complaining.

"Huh? Young lady, you should know that being cared for is a good thing, especially in this world of magicians where masters and apprentices can become enemies over trivial matters."

At this moment, a shadow appeared in Li Lin's eyes, and when she raised her head, Lion Jie, holding two ice creams and with a ferocious expression on his face, had stood in front of her without her noticing.

"Is that so? Really, you all treat me like a child! Do I really look that young?" Li Lin took the ice cream and complained to Shi Zijie. "Whether it's Leif or the teacher, everyone has this attitude."

Although it is very stupid to judge a magician by his age, how should I put it? When facing Li Lin, Shizijie always feels a little more at ease, as if he is talking to his adopted daughter who has passed away.

Compared to the magician, he always felt that the pink-haired girl in front of him was no different from an ordinary girl next door.

If Lion Jie had not been told in advance about Li Lin's identity as a magician, he probably wouldn't have been able to tell it at all.

But this is just a disguise, Shizijie warned himself in his heart, because he could feel something uncomfortable in Li Lin.

That was the malice hidden behind the girl's kind face that only a human or magus like Shishizhe, who had fought in hundreds of battles, crossed countless battlefields, and witnessed the death of countless lives, could detect.

"By the way, Li Lin, where are you from?"

"Huh? Didn't the teacher even tell you these things?" The girl licked the ice cream with small sips, showing a happy expression and asked Shi Zijie back, but the other party just shrugged.

"Obviously, no."

Shizijie answered Li Lin's questions honestly.

He had been wandering around before, living a half-dead life. Even if he occasionally returned to the Clock Tower a few times, it was only to accept commissions and work. He didn't even have the time to stop and reminisce about the good times in his student days. The most he knew about Li Lin's affairs was that there was such a person, but naturally he didn't delve into the specific situation because he was not interested.

"Maybe they are from China... Of course, they could also be Japanese, who knows. I have no memory of this world, everything in the past is ZERO."

"Feel sorry......"

"There's no need to apologize. Although sometimes I wonder why I came to this world? Is it because I have a mission to fulfill, or is it a miracle that happened by chance? I don't know."

"What about wishes? I mean what you want to entrust to the Holy Grail to fulfill."

"Hum? Maybe it's something lost, right? Like memories or something. But compared to memories, maybe it would be better to make a wish and ask the Holy Grail for money. After all, you know, Mr. Lion Jie, the El-Melloi family owed a huge amount of foreign debt because of the "stupidity" of the previous monarch. If I can pay off this debt for the teacher in one go, I can repay his kindness."

Li Lin put his index finger on his chin, pondered for a few seconds, and then gave an answer that made Shi Zijie dumbfounded, or at a loss for words.

"Hey, hey! That's the almighty wish-granting machine that can make the impossible possible. You told me you only want money?"

"Dreams and ideals are nothing compared to money. Even for a magus, it would take an astronomical amount of money to continue his research."

Although these words seemed quite random, Shizijie heard a hint of bitterness and helplessness in them.

"The results of cheating and taking shortcuts are completely meaningless, and only leave a disgusting taste." After chewing the cone and swallowing it, Li Lin continued the topic. "Through human hands, or your own hands, even if it is a long-cherished wish that has taken hundreds or thousands of years to complete, the moment the result is obtained, countless emotions and hardships will turn into a sweet gift. At least that's what I think."

"Isn't the process important, not the result?" Shizijie sighed, "That's exactly what young people today would say."

"No! Although the process is important, the result is equally important." Li Lin shook his head, "No matter the process or the result, I want them all!"

Although it may sound like the nonsense of a young girl at first, sooner or later she will compromise with the cruel reality and throw today's speech into the trash can, right?

However, it is not a bad thing for young people to have ideals.

no matter what the result is.

"Talking means both parties have to express their own ideas." Li Lin glanced at Shizijie and asked. "What is your wish? Since I have revealed all my wishes, in exchange, Mr. Shizijie, what is the wish you hope the Holy Grail will fulfill?"

"As expected...it's still the prosperity of the family...No, I just want to change her death."

Lion Jie rarely showed a look of reluctance, but soon, the slightly fragile expression disappeared without a trace.

"What? Uncle, you have a great wish. This prayer seems quite gentle to me."

As if to comfort the other person, Li Lin gently patted the other person's shoulder.

Then, Li Lin added: "But I will not show mercy to anyone. Human survival is in a constant process of seizure."

"People are really contradictory. They want to avoid increasing the number of corpses, but they also want to solve everything by themselves... How arrogant I am."

"Our contract only lasts until the Black side is defeated."

"Yeah. I know, so if we really come to the point where we need to compete with each other, I will not show mercy to you. Similarly, I also hope that you will not have the slightest mercy on me."

Although she spoke cruel words, the girl's smile was like a blooming tea flower.

"Because I am not a woman who deserves sympathy."

——After all, I lost that qualification a long time ago.

Chapter 14: You thought it was the doctor? Actually it was me, Tanya!

The more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to lie.

Regardless of age, women are such terrible creatures.

During his long mercenary career, a Japanese puppeteer who had worked with Lion Jie once said this.

——London, Heathrow Airport terminal.

In the bright waiting hall, benches for rest are neatly arranged.

Lion Jie looked at the gloomy sky outside through the glass wall of the waiting hall. Thinking about the current situation, he felt more and more unhappy.

He lit a cigarette, took a deep breath and fell into deep thought.

A girl named Li Lin, who is participating in the Holy Grail War and is responsible for protecting the other illegal participant, a student of El Melloi II.

This was the commission he received from the Clock Tower. Although Lion Jie had some complaints when he was first assigned to the task, after the Second World offered him a condition that he could not refuse, he honestly accepted the task as a mercenary.

After a day of getting along, Shizijie also got along very well with Li Lin. At least he realized that she was not the kind of young lady with an overly self-conscious mind and who acted arbitrarily.

However, Shizijie's good impression of Li Lin only lasted for one day.

At this point, he finally understood what Li Lin meant when he said, "I am not a woman worthy of sympathy."

Early this morning, Lion Jie, who had originally agreed to meet at Baker Street, waited foolishly for the whole morning. After being questioned three times by the police with a scrutinizing look, he finally realized that he was being tricked.

Originally he thought that the little girl was just taking care of her own image. After all, Leo Jie knew very well that women would spend several hours choosing clothes and putting on makeup, and even the inhuman magician was no exception.

Although he went to El-Melloi's apartment to look for him later, he was unable to find him in the end. Moreover, it seemed that the Second had temporarily left the Clock Tower for work, and Lion Jie couldn't contact him without the other party's phone number.

Lion Jie thought so and took out a note from his pocket.

[Guardians are really troublesome. Although I have confirmed that Mr. Lion Jie is a reliable comrade and partner in our conversation, I still prefer to act alone. However, the constraints of the contract are still there, please rest assured, let us meet again at the crossroads of cause and effect! The uncle who fights for his daughter. ——by Li Lin. 】

The girl's beautiful handwriting appeared on the paper, with a small Q-version portrait at the end.

Shizijie folded the note with a helpless look on his face and put it in his pocket.

Magicians are magicians. Their paranoid personalities and logical thinking have never disappointed Leo Jie.

"You say you're not a child, but aren't you still acting like a child?"

There are still two hours before the plane takes off. If Li Lin plans to take the same plane with him, she will definitely appear in this terminal.

The only thing that made Shizijie feel regretful was that he didn't know Li Lin's seat number, but this only added a little difficulty to him.

Too young, little girl.

Lion Jiejie was very clear that no matter what, it was absolutely impossible for Li Lin, who was not financially well-off, to change to another flight.

While he was thinking, a figure wearing a black coat and a mask, which was obviously out of tune with the people around him, appeared in Shizijie's sight.

Based on his years of experience, Lion Jie calculated the man's weight and gender from his height, the sound of his footsteps on the ground, and his walking posture.

"If you want to disguise yourself, at least choose a more normal image. Your outfit is quite unusual even for a magician."

Disguise is not simply wrapping yourself up tightly and looking like a suspicious person. The real disguise is to blend into the crowd without leaving any trace and make it impossible for anyone to find any flaws.

However, that is one thing and one thing is another. Due to his huge size, it is difficult for Lion Jie to hide himself. When he walks on the street, once there is a violent incident or homicide nearby, he will always be regarded as the top priority for investigation and questioning by the local police.

He walked confidently up to "Li Lin" who was wrapped quite tightly, and lifted her hood with a wicked smile.

Shizi Jie said, "Li Lin, if your poor disguise can fool me, then I am really embarrassed."

Just as the true face of "Li Lin" hidden under the hood was exposed to Shi Zijie's sight, the man's smile froze.

With fair skin, blonde hair and blue eyes, her delicate face bears distinct German features.

"What's going on all of a sudden? Did you recognize the wrong person?" (German)

emmmmm......

"Hug...sorry."

With a slightly embarrassed expression, Lion Jie handed the mask he had taken off back to the other party, but the blonde girl just snorted and took her own mask with an unfriendly look.

"Hmph. Since you seem to be really looking for someone, I forgive you." The girl put the mask back on her face. "My name is Tanya von Degucharev, not Li Lin. Next time, keep your eyes open before taking action."

Looking at the figure carrying the suitcase and walking away, Lion Jie couldn't help but mutter.

"I guess I'm not seeing things... Could it be that my senses and intuition have deteriorated due to my age?"

......

Tanya von Degucharev.

The disguise that Li Lin used when he infiltrated DEM in the battle world.

The "children's toys" found in the technology tree of other alien races are just simple technology that applies a layer of "living flesh" cultivated from their own cells on their real faces. Although there is no manifestation device in this world, it is still no problem to cultivate some "living flesh".

On the other hand, based on the precise magic skills he mastered during his studies in the Clock Tower, Li Lin further improved his camouflage skills.

As long as there is enough "living flesh" on her body, she can even create a fake body and restore her previous male identity.

In other words, it means making a Jill for yourself.

However, after gradually getting used to her current identity as a woman, she became less interested in the matter and had no energy to get involved in such troublesome matters.

And if that were really the case, it would be a bit too sad.

Besides, being a woman has its own conveniences.

For example, she can freely enter women's locker rooms and bathhouses, and she can also get some extra gifts and discounts because of her cute appearance when buying things in the market and stalls.

After getting rid of the harassment from Lion Jie, Li Lin picked an empty seat and sat down, then held the suitcase in front of him.

The box contains the holy relics and the black hole watch that Ai Ge personally sent.

Hmm? Evol drive?

Such an important thing is of course tied directly around the waist.

Chapter 15: The Red Emperor and the Hot Muscles

Although magicians look glamorous on the surface, some of the inner existence and facts are quite creepy when you look deeper. After all, they are still magicians.

In pursuit of victory, you can still do whatever it takes. No matter how dirty or terrible the action is, there is no psychological burden.

Especially the Thousand World Tree Clan who make artificial consumables.

The aristocratic demeanor and etiquette displayed in their manners are just a means to distinguish themselves from the "untouchables".

Although Li Lin only studied in the Clock Tower for one year, she deeply felt the corruption of these traditional magicians in the Clock Tower.

The headquarters of the Magicians' Association, the Clock Tower is the lair of those scum who claim to be seeking the root of the problem but are basically obsessed with power struggles. It is the den of the Twelve Lords and the magicians they lead, where they repeat conspiracies and struggles day and night.

Therefore, Li Lin felt a little sympathy for the Thousand Worlds Tree, which was treated coldly and endured for a full seventy years before leaving the Clock Tower.

Fortunately, Li Lin had a good guide and met magicians with relatively "normal" personalities.

If Li Lin were to stay with a disgusting guy who kept talking and indulging in power struggles all day long, regardless of gender, she would definitely give the other person a quick death with her own hands.

Even though the world and times are different, Li Lin firmly believes that he is doing the right thing.

Let God’s affairs be God’s, and man’s affairs be man’s. It is best if everyone does not interfere with each other.

The girl experienced creation twice, but returned "God's authority" to mankind.
