The demon princess was defeated and captured? Sorry, I acted in it)

There are records about the cost of casting origin magic, and sure enough, there are relevant records on the last page of the banned book.

These words all need to be translated temporarily. If there is no comparison table given by Siletla, it would be even more troublesome. In the past, Xuefia wanted to burn the book directly. How could she have the leisure to continue translating so many words?

Never read it.

But now I know.

"Those who fail to cast [Origin]... will have their lives burned out. If they survive by chance, their memories will be burned. If you want to regain your memories, you must use this spell... and... It's so annoying!! Bellis! Didn't you translate it already? Tell me what's written at the end. It's so annoying to compare it word by word!"

"It's because Sister Wang said she wanted to translate it herself..."

"I don't want to translate now! Hurry up!"

"Okay, okay~ Then I'll read it to Sister Wang, okay?"

Bellis took the ancient forbidden spell that Xuefei threw at her like waste paper, compared her finger with the position that Xuefei had just read, and continued to read it to her word by word until the end.

In fact, there is not much to read.

The remaining sentence is the price you have to pay to restore your memory.

"It must be resolved with this spell. To regain the past, you must pay the corresponding future possibility to achieve balance."

"What do you mean? Future possibilities? So abstract?"

Come on, you crappy book, it’s not enough to just translate you into the current language, you still have to keep guessing!

Fortunately, Bellis had already done research, so she didn't need to guess anymore.

And...she herself is deeply aware of the price she paid.

When Xue Feiya pounded the book with her little fist and looked up, she happened to see Bellis's somewhat sad smile.

But the bitter smile only lasted for a moment.

She felt relieved as Xue Feiya's confused face was reflected in her eyes.

She was finally able to tell Sister Wang what had been keeping her heart down for years.

"The possibility of the future corresponds to the original purpose of [Origin]. [Origin] is to explore one's own potential in advance and obtain all the power that may be possessed in the future in an instant. The cost of restoring memory is the opposite..."

"Hey...Belis...? You don't want to say..." Xuefei's face suddenly lost some color.

"Yes, Sister Wang." Baileys closed the book, as if she was closing her past paranoia. "The price is that all future possibilities will be suppressed. In other words, my strength growth will stagnate at the moment when the spell is cast, and I will never be able to become stronger again."

"!"

Xuefeiya

There was a rumbling sound in my head.

Her heart tightened.

She even felt that this moment was like a nightmare.

There are three wings on the left side of Bellis and two wings on the right side, asymmetrical wings. It seems that the last black feather is faintly visible, but it turns into ethereal black starlight and scatters.

What was scattered was not black feathers, but the yearning for the sky of a girl who had loved looking up at the stars since childhood.

Xuefia may not be a competent sister. After all, she is very willful, and the time she spends with Bellis is too short.

But she actually remembered everything Bellis said to her when she was a child.

[I also want to fly as high as Sister Wang. ]

【Why. 】

[This way I can see the same scenery as Sister Wang! ]

[Why do you want to see the same scenery as me? Isn't it good to keep your feet firmly on the ground? It gives you a sense of security. Be careful, the higher you fly, the harder you fall. ]

[That won't work. Actually, when Sister Wang was not around, many people laughed at me. Hehe... But Sister Wang still took time to come home to see Bellis! With Sister Wang here, Bellis is not afraid of being laughed at. They can say whatever they want. Anyway, Sister Wang is here! Sister Wang will come back often in the future, right! ]

[... Maybe? No, who dares to laugh at you? Tell me, make a list, and I'll help you beat them up. ]

[Well, Sister Wang, don't look at me as young. I'm actually very sensible. Fists can never convince people. And they are right to laugh at me. Bellis is just too lazy. It doesn't matter. I will work harder in the future, just like Sister Wang. When I have six wings, everyone will say that we are the most suitable sisters in the world! ]

[You idiot... How can the relationship between sisters be described as perfect? ​​Well... I just think you don't need to be too stressed. If you want to see the scenery from a high altitude, why don't I take you flying with me?]

[But...if I don't fly by myself. ]

What if it doesn't fly by itself?

Which words made Xue Feiya feel angry and sad, disappointed and distressed, and make her turn around and leave?

[If I don’t fly myself...Sister Wang will fly far away, to a place where Bellis can’t find me, and she will never want me again.]

【Nonsense.】

Is this really nonsense...?

Bellis said it then.

Although she is young, she is already very sensible.

Sister Wang yearns for freedom. If Bellis does not have the strength to match yours, one day she will definitely lose you when you escape on a "whim".

I am terrified and I pray. For countless days and nights, I hope to become as strong as you, to bear all the infamy for you, and even to change everything for you.

I once lost myself on this road. For a moment, I forgot my original goal and got lost in the pursuit of power.

However, the fire that devoured my origin finally woke me up.

Ah... If I give Bellis another chance, I will definitely remember... remember why I started running at the very beginning.

——It is to prevent you from flying far away alone.

——So that even if you fly far away, I can still chase your back and won’t be left too far behind.

——It is to remember every moment we spent together.

In the forgotten days and nights, Bellis sat alone by the lake and cried, she didn't know why she was sad.

Is it because Sister Wang is becoming more and more powerful...and everyone is making fun of her for her slow progress?

no.

Bellis felt more and more that she would no longer be troubled by such boring things.

I clearly cared about it before, but whenever I think about it, a hazy purple flame would appear in my mind, burning the thought away.

Flame...what exactly is it?

She just felt that she seemed to have forgotten something.

Forbidden Library...?

Yes...Forbidden Library.

If there is something I don't remember, the answer must be there.

Such a strong intuition urged Bellis to go to the other side of the truth.

But when he learned that the price of regaining those past memories was to give up his future.

Bellis, didn't hesitate.

Ha...If you don’t even know why you set out in the first place, what’s the point of making rapid progress and being determined?

Bellis's firm palm closed around Xuefia's trembling fingertips.

"Sister Wang, don't be sad. I don't regret my decision at all."

"You bastard... You've always wanted to get stronger... I was thinking of a training method to help you break through the six wings last night... But...

.What are you talking to me about today...why are you so..."

Please don't be sad or depressed.

When Xuefeiya lowered her head, her silver bangs covered her eyes, and the tears sliding down her face finally added the last piece of the puzzle to Bellis' relief.

Bellis stretched out her fingers to catch her crystal tears.

Reluctant to throw it away, Bellis felt that it was the most shining gem in the world.

"Sister Wang, tell me, even if I reach the sixth wing, can I keep up with you?"

"How would I know...but now you are..."

"Well, maybe if there are no more opportunities, I can only be a five-winger in the future."

"That's why I said...!"

"But now, I finally catch up with you."

Sometimes, rather than running forward with eyes closed, perhaps stopping and looking back is a more surprising glimpse.

There was no sign of Sister Wang along the way.

When I looked back, I saw Sister Wang was standing behind me, watching over me.

Ha...I was wondering why I couldn’t find you after flying so far?

So, you are here.

24. The Flower Garden

Ugh...I'm in trouble.

Bellis never expected that her speech would make the usually fearless sister Wang cry.

Actually, it's not unexpected...

Bellis herself is not a strong person.

It's easy to say that we should abandon future possibilities.

Although she has no regrets, Bellis herself is actually under a lot of psychological pressure.

It would be too much for her to bear all this pressure by herself. Now that she has talked about it with Sister Wang, she feels much better.

Thus, such a "funny" scene appeared in this cave at the bottom of the lake that had not seen the sun for a thousand years.

The younger sister, who is like the older sister in height, is patting the head of the older sister, who is smaller and more like the younger sister, to comfort her.

The two of them knelt facing each other, snuggling together as if to keep warm.

Even though the Forbidden Library has a strong warming effect, it doesn't feel cold at all.

"Don't cry, don't cry~ Hey... Sister Wang, you are so annoying. Didn't I tell you that I have let it go? Don't feel any psychological pressure."

"Ugh...you bastard...take your hand away...who needs your advice...damn it, you just take the initiative to cause trouble for me!"

"Looking for trouble...? I didn't? Ah no no no no, I did, I did! Sister Wang, don't cry! But I just didn't..."

If it comes to causing trouble, Bellis would be really wronged.

After all, giving up progress or moving forward is her own choice. She can understand that Sister Wang is worried about herself, but she will never cause any substantial trouble to Sister Wang.

I may not be able to help Sister Wang solve her problems on the battlefield in the future, but I can still contribute with strategies and tactics!

But who knew that this was not what Xue Feiya meant by "causing trouble".

She hadn't cried so bitterly in many years.

Maybe it's because it's crying because it's hungry, and its stomach is not listening.

——Gurgle~~

Suddenly, the atmosphere of cuddling became a little frozen.

The tears stopped and Bellis's comforting smile froze.

It's ok.

"Pfft...Hahaha! Sister Wang, why are you always like this? Even when you're sad, you can always make me laugh for no reason!"

"Is that my fault?!" Xue Feiya couldn't stand it anymore. She did a backflip and stood up, pointing at Bellis, holding her hungry stomach and complaining! "It's because you wasted too much time here! And you... uh... still want to cry... No, I have to make it clear. If I say you're causing me trouble, then you're causing me trouble!"

"Even if you are Sister Wang, you have to be reasonable..."

"I'm so angry...! You're such a fool. Everyone says you're the intelligence center of the demon clan. I think you're just stupid! Don't you think about it? You've given up your future and your room for growth. I must find a way to help you remove the price curse! And you're saying that you're not causing trouble for me!"

"!"

Bellis opened her eyes wide, unable to conceal her surprise, and her fingers unconsciously exerted force to clench the hem of her skirt.

She was expecting Sister Wang to say something comforting like "It doesn't matter" and "You can still shine even if you don't have the ability."
