Man is infinite, and his ambition is to slay the dragon

Asagi frowned.

Decades later, when you have aged beyond recognition and meet your former lover again, you find that the other person is still the same as he or she was back then - this kind of gap is not something that most people can easily bear.

Even if we think worse, they may no longer be alive in fifty or sixty years.

"It seems to be called the "Lifespan Theory". My magic teacher said that the most difficult obstacles to the relationship between the immortals and the short-lived are time and lifespan. What is just a blink of an eye for the immortals is a lifetime for the short-lived."

Sieg sighed.

"Although I'm only 23 years old, I have a sense of reality now. It should be because I have accepted the memories of the future."

"Wait a moment, how old are you?"

"Hmm? 23, what's wrong?"

23 years old?

Qiancong couldn't help but grab Zig's face again and squeezed it hard a few times: "You said you were 23 years old? But when we met two years ago, you were obviously about the same age as me..."

"Oh, at that time I used the magic device on the Krinshid to adjust my body age, temporarily returning my body age to 13 or 14 years old." Sieg explained, "My actual age is indeed 23 years old, but age doesn't mean anything to me."

"So... you are older than all of us? You are old enough to graduate from college, right?"

Asagi's face was full of astonishment.

Ji Hiiragi was also surprised: "The magic technology to adjust the body's age... It seems that this is still a magical field that has never had any research results, right?"

"Is that what you care about?" Qian Cong glanced at her and then sighed, "Oh~~~~ It's really terrible. After hearing what you said, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep well tonight. But, you said you came to make up for the regret. How are you going to make up for this regret?"

"This is what I really want to tell you this time - if you want, I can actually take you away from this planet."

Light green onion: "......"

Ji Hiiragi: “…”

(What did he say?)

93. Don’t let yourself regret

I can’t remember how many times I’ve been silent.

After coming back to her senses from the shock and impact of what Zieg said, Asan picked up the cooked meat skewers, ate more than a dozen in one breath, then tilted her head back and drank a whole glass of drink!

“Gurgle~~~~~!”

After a burp, Asagi finally adjusted her mindset: "Take us away from this planet...what do you mean?"

"That's what it means."

Zieg said: "My future self has chosen to leave alone. In my opinion, there are two ways to make up for his regrets. One is what I have said before, saying goodbye to you before leaving, so that neither of us will have any regrets before leaving."

"And the other is that I take those who are willing to leave with me - Daohua, Sarah, Edelweiss, Ningyin sister, Wang Ma and Stella, they are like this."

"I left my own planet nearly six years ago and went to their planet to improve myself. I lived there for three years. When I was about to leave, I asked for advice from people I knew. In the end, they accepted my invitation, spent a year dealing with all their affairs, and followed me to leave their hometown."

Leave your hometown.

Sieg said it lightly, but after Asagi and Himeragi thought about it for a while, they felt a heavy feeling in their hearts and shoulders for no reason.

"......I see. That's what you think."

Asagi noticed what Sieg was thinking.

"Since you don't want to separate and leave regrets, and you don't want to stop moving forward, then you can only take your friends with you and leave, right?"

"Yes. Although there is an option to stay here and accompany you until you die, unfortunately, I am not yet at that leisure. Maybe when I am 100 or 200 years old, I will feel that I really have too much time to use up, and I will do this."

(Don't talk about the unimaginable time span with a relaxed look.)

Qian Cong sighed slightly: "If I leave with you...what will it cost me?"

"Give up everything you have temporarily." Sieg was very direct. "Family, friends, wealth, status... Giving up everything you have on this planet is the most basic price to pay for traveling into the universe. Although the database of the Kreinsheed records that a certain star region has achieved interstellar transportation, this is obviously not the case with you."

"On the other hand, the Krenshid's jump system can complete round trips between planets, or even across galaxies, in a short period of time, but I can't use jumps to bring you back to visit relatives at will. So at least you have to be mentally prepared to leave this planet for decades."

If I don't want to be separated from Sieg for decades, or never see him again until I die of old age, then I can only follow him for the next few decades, until I die of old age.

"I didn't want to tell you about these things so early, but La Fulia reminded me before - if I tell you about these things when I'm really about to leave, it will be too late."

"A few months is definitely not enough time for you to say goodbye to your family, nor is it enough for you to properly deal with the things at hand."

"Of course, if you don't want to leave, there won't be any problem in this regard."

Sieg played with the bamboo stick he had just eaten. "I'm only saying this now to give you more time to think. One or two years should be more than enough, right? And I'm not in a hurry for you to give an answer. Let's not talk about Asagi, but Himeragi and I have only known each other for more than a week. I'm not ready to let you get on board just like that."

"Just tell me your decision before I leave this planet. Take your time. We have plenty of time."

After saying that, Zieg stood up and walked to the door: "I'm going to the bathroom first, you guys can eat slowly, it's okay if you don't leave any for me, I'll clean up afterward."

Snapped!

The door is closed.

Looking at the closed door, Qiancong picked up a skewer of meat and took a bite in an abnormal way: "......This guy Zigg really gave us a difficult problem."

"That's what I'm saying~~~~"

Ji Hiiragi also looked a little worried: "This is not a decision that can be made easily... It would be better to discuss it with Senior Daohua and the others later? However, Senior Lanyu, you will not accept this invitation, right?"

"Huh? Why do you say that?"

"I have been abandoned by the Lion King Organization. From the perspective of ownership, I have nowhere else to go except to follow Senior. In addition, I am an orphan... But Senior has her own family, right? If I have to leave for decades..."

"......That's true~~~"

Asagi looked up at the starry sky above her head.

"There are still... two years left? I really need to think about this issue carefully..."

————————————————————————

inside the house.

At the door of the toilet on the second floor of the villa, in the corridor outside the door.

After washing his hands, Sieg came out of the bathroom and saw Edwards leaning on the side. "Teacher, are you still awake?"

"Well, I just finished preparing for class and thought I'd come over to relieve myself."

Edwards, who was wearing white pajamas and had his hair tied up in a ponytail, pulled up the ends of his hair that were hanging in front of his chest and said, "By the way, I accidentally overheard your conversation."

Accidentally?

Zigg smiled slightly: "With your hearing ability, you should have heard everything we said, right?"

"Haha~~~ I didn't mean it."

Edwards smiled gently, then glanced at the door on the stairs: "Tell them it's okay so early? There are probably many people who are closely related to your future self that you haven't met yet. Are you going to tell them more often later?"

"That doesn't matter. Besides... I don't have to know everyone, right? The people my future self knows, my present self doesn't have to know either. For those I've only met a few times, I don't think it's necessary to get to know them specifically." Sieg spread his hands and said, "After all, in my future memories, Asagi and Himeragi don't have anything to do with me..."

"But now you are the one who has the best relationship with them, right?"

Edwards came over and gently touched Zig's head. "Anyway, these are your own decisions. We won't have any opinions. Just don't make a decision that you will regret."

"Yes, I know, teacher."

"That's good. I'll go back to my room now. You should go to bed early too. You have classes tomorrow."

"Eh? But teacher, don't you need to go to the bathroom?"

"......You~~~"

94. Sieg was assassinated and the whole place was blocked

In the following days, it seemed that with the situation of Yease Natsune being resolved, Sieg's life, which had been somewhat turbulent during the first week of the new semester, had temporarily returned to a state of calm.

Under the command of Nangong Nayue and the Special Zone Security Team, the company called Magician Plastics was quickly closed down. Since it was a poorly managed company, there were a lot of negative information about it. However, during the seizure operation, Yese Natsune's father was not caught, and in terms of personnel, there were still two cadres who had not been arrested.

Of course, this is not something Zig needs to worry about.

On the other hand, Wattela and Kurogane Ouma, who had mixed up with the remnants of the Black Death Emperor faction, had not taken any action. Although they could occasionally be seen acting together on Genshin Island, they had not done anything out of the ordinary. Sieg had the Crainhild keep a close eye on them 24 hours a day.

On the other hand, after learning about the relevant information, the Management Commune also paid special attention to the upcoming diplomatic visit. According to Nangong Nayue, with the preparations that have been completed, let alone the remnants of the Black Death Emperor faction, even if something like last year happened, she could guarantee that Sieg would get away with it.

Although he had some objections to this, since she said so, Zieg felt relieved. Anyway, if he was needed at that time, he would be happy to help - just pay him in the end.

Under such circumstances, there was basically nothing for Zieg to worry about, and he was happy to be free, focusing all his attention on living a stable life.

During the day, he went to school diligently. At night, he had dinner with Asagi and Himeragi next door, and then did homework together. On the weekends, he would accompany La Freya to satisfy her desire to play.

——Until he received another call from Stella.

.......

It was late September, almost two weeks after La Fulia arrived at Genkami Island.

In the lobby of Genkamijima Airport.

Sitting on a row of chairs with Himeragi Yukina, Sieg looked at the exit not far away: "Why do I have to come to pick her up? This is an official diplomatic visit between countries, right?"

"There's nothing I can do, Senior. This is a direct request from Her Highness La Freya and that [Red Lotus Sword Princess]." Himeragi Yukina said with a smile, "Besides, that [Red Lotus Sword Princess] and Senior are old friends. She's coming to Genshin Island to visit, so it's only right that you come to pick her up at the airport."

"But if I want to see her, I can be right next to her in less than half a minute."

Sieg sighed, "[Red Lotus Sword Princess]...Why doesn't she use her original title [Red Lotus Princess]? Isn't it much better? This title now sounds a bit cheap."

(But that would be distracting, right?)

Himeragi Setsuna thought.

Although Stella is a princess on Earth 52, her identity as a princess will not be recognized by anyone here, and her current official identity is still La Freya's personal guard. If she calls herself a princess, it will bring all kinds of troubles and unnecessary rumors.

In this regard, Stella must know more than Sieg. Is this why she changed her title?

"Come to think of it, in the Lion King Agency's information, the Red Lotus Sword Princess was once considered a person who needed to be treated with caution."

"How idle is your Lion King Agency? You have to be on guard against everyone." Sieg frowned. "What did she do to offend you?"

Himeragi Yukina shook her head slightly and explained: "No, there was no direct contact, but [Red Lotus Sword Princess] has demonstrated her power once before - the Kingdom of Aldikia and the Principality of Ordialu are adjacent to each other, and you know this, senior, and in the border areas between the two countries, large and small frictions often occur."

"There was a conflict at the beginning of this year. During that conflict, two famous noble vampires from the Principality of Ordialu were unilaterally raped by the Red Lotus Sword Princess. It is said that they managed to save their lives with great difficulty."

"The Lion King Agency determined that she already possesses power that surpasses that of ordinary old-generation vampires."

Can one person defeat two noble-level vampires?

Sieg pouted. "If she can't even do this, then I'm going to have to give her a good scolding. After all, she's someone who can fight me on equal terms in the [Competition] category. If she can't even handle a few little bats, that's really outrageous."

(Can I be on par with my senior?)

Himeragi Yukina couldn't help swallowing her saliva: "...It seems that he is also a formidable monster."

"Yeah, even if she was mortally wounded, she could still continue to fight like nothing happened - although it's nothing compared to me, I can still continue to fight even with half of my body gone."

Sieg puffed out his chest proudly.

(I'm not praising you!)

Himeragi Setsuna sighed softly.

And at this moment——

“————————————!!!”

A commotion suddenly sounded not far away, and a lot of photo taking sounds suddenly broke out.

Because today is the day when the diplomatic delegation from the Kingdom of Aldikia will visit Gengami Island, there are already a large number of reporters and media lurking at the airport. And now there are such a series of camera sounds, so I guess they must have come out, right?

Sieg stood up and looked in the direction where the sound of taking photos came from. Then, in front of the huge crowd that was split into two, a familiar figure suddenly came into his sight.

A young woman with red hair as bright as a red lotus flame, about 20 years old, was wearing a bright red guard of honor uniform and walking at the front of the team with her head held high.

She didn't know if it was an illusion, but the moment she saw her, Himeragi Setsuna suddenly felt a burning breath coming towards her, and it seemed as if a giant red dragon roaring towards the sky appeared in front of her, looking down at everything around it with indescribable domineering aura.

"——————!"

My body shuddered instinctively.

Sieg gently pressed her shoulders: "Don't be nervous, take a deep breath. You are just affected by her magic and aura, stay calm..."
