Type-Moon, the Path of a Magician

If there wasn't a slight gap between them, Shi would even feel that this was a revolving door before her death.

But this unchanging life finally changed at some point.

This is also the bifurcation point between his fate and hers.

Although the past life was the same, this Ryougi Shiki did not meet the strange guy named Xia Yuan after school that day.

She still lives the same repetitive life as before.

Until soon...

In the rainstorm, another Ryougi Shiki found herself in front of a headless body and fell into deep self-doubt.

Everything was just as it had been in the dream. Ryougi Shiki also thought that Ori had killed someone...

So she began to hide and escape until she met the magician named Aozaki Touko and a boy named Kuroto Mikiya.

Things were developing in an orderly manner, but Xia Yuan did not exist in this world.

Because Shi always felt that if that guy were here, he would be able to solve these problems easily.

In fact, when these things happened before his eyes, Shi didn't find them so touching. He was just observing another life as a bystander.

You may feel empathy for certain plots and scenes in the movie, but you definitely cannot empathize with them because you are just a spectator and these are not your experiences after all.

until--

Death of weaving!!

When Shiki saw the scene of Ryogi Ori dying for him, his heart felt like it was pierced by countless blades. The severe pain and intense heartache lingered in his mind.

She tried to call her Zhi, desperately wanting to confirm that her Zhi was not dead, but Zhi did not respond to her.

He was like the weaving in the water mirror, leaving quietly and silently without anyone noticing.

But it’s not that Zhi didn’t want to respond to her, or it should be said that he couldn’t respond to her.

Because a beautiful figure with the same appearance as her, wearing a refined and elegant style, was already standing in front of her.

As for what happened afterwards, whether it was the pair of eyes she obtained or the finding of the murderer, none of them moved her as much as the moment she lost Orito.

There was no need to read on, she wanted to know more now.

"Is that me?"

Although she didn't know the true identity of Genyuanshi, she still began to ask questions to the other self that appeared in front of her, hoping to get the answer she wanted from her.

"It's you, but that's you before you met Xia Yuan. You will experience loss and gain in the rest of your life, and get your own power in death."

The power that belongs to you is the eyes that can see through the dead line.

Of course she knew what the power she was talking about was, but if that power came at the cost of Zhi's death.

It's totally worthless to her.

She would rather never have that power.

Shi asked hurriedly: "Was it you who caused the previous dream?"

"It's not me, it's Yuan."

Facing Ryougi Shiki's question, Gen-shiki answered very easily: "He wanted to help you open those eyes in his own way, so he wove such a dream for you."

Yuan? It should be Xia Yuan.

It turned out to be that guy!

This means that the previous random trials and battles were also to force myself to open my eyes.

Shi quickly figured out the cause and effect of the matter.

but……

"Why? Why would he go to such lengths?"

"Why? Actually, I don't know. Maybe it's because he and I have a connection, so he wants to return the connection to you. Or maybe he is just kind and doesn't want to see you lose."

"After all, he is such a gentle and even a little self-righteous person. He always wants to bear everything by himself and doesn't want others to know."

She seemed to know Xia Yuan very well and didn't care whether Shi in front of her listened to her or not. She continued talking to herself.

"Although he has prepared a lot in advance, he still doesn't think it's safe enough. He is worried that you will lose Zhi in the future. That's why he uses such an extreme method to help you get the power that you will get in the future in advance. He doesn't even care about being hated by you, or even hated by you, but he still wants to do this."

"He always imposes his arranged salvation on others, just like the sad saint during the Holy Grail War. But... everything he does is based on the best choice for the future. So... please don't hate him, okay? Shiki."

Gen-shiki was slowly approaching. She gently placed her forehead in front of Ryougi Shiki and stared at him with her eyes that had turned ice blue.

"Shi, according to the plan, I should have sealed your memory. According to cause and effect, I would not have met you at this moment, let alone said so much to you. But since I met Yuan, it seems that I have also made a lot of changes. So... I decided to help him with his plan, and also decided to help you once. Next, I will help you get the power of the future in advance, and I hope you can use these eyes to see all the truth and essence. I hope you can move towards a better future, and I also hope that you can try to keep up with his pace, and in the future, become his support when he is in trouble."

Genshiki paused slightly, and it seemed as if these ten seconds were specially left for Ryougi Shiki to react. Only after she nodded did Genshiki smile and continue.

"It seems that you have made your own choice, Shiki. So please don't let me down. I will be like Ori and will always watch your progress from a place you can't see until you reach the true end."

"You must remember that you are Shiki and I am Shiki. You must remember that whether it is you or me, or you and Zhi, we are the same person from beginning to end."

With the last words, the pale yellow figure in a kimono slowly disappeared...

"I will."

Ryougi Shiki nodded solemnly.

Looking at the white path left by the other self, she was about to step forward when her attention was attracted by the new scene in the water mirror on the other side.

That is……

The young figure projected in the water mirror is Xia Yuan. Who is the other guy with kelp hair wearing green clothes and laughing loudly?

Considering what happened just now, she guessed it.

Is this his life projection?

Seeing this, Shi was no longer in a hurry to leave. He chose to stay where he was and watch Xia Yuan's past.

……

……

"She's actually waiting for me outside."

Root Shiki, who had separated from the spiritual world in advance, borrowed Ryougi Shiki's body and was sitting on the bed, looking down at Xia Yuan who was helpless below.

Shiki was still attracted by Xia Yuan's experience during the Holy Grail War that she had specially projected before she left. There was a period of time when she couldn't get out. During this period of time, Shiki decided to borrow Ryougi Shiki's body to take a look around.

Take the opportunity to tease Xia Yuan.

"Yes, yes, how dare I disobey your orders?"

Not only is he no match for the Root Style in terms of strength, but logically speaking, his body was recast by the Root Style, and his magic was also obtained with the help of this person. It can be said that his entire life that allowed him to return to the world was given by him.

He would not oppose Genyuanshi in terms of emotion and reason. If it was her request, he should do it as long as he could do it. Not to mention that he was the one who caused the trouble this time, he immediately lost his temper and could only wait for Genyuanshi to come back and lecture him.

"That's right. I just helped Shiki open her magic eyes. She's still sleeping now and won't wake up until later. During this time, I have something else I want to talk to you about."

Then, Genshiki used Ryougi Shiki's body to open those icy blue eyes, and his entire aura changed instantly.

The short hair turned into long hair in an instant, and the clothes on her body turned into the iconic light yellow kimono.

Being locked in the gaze of these eyes, even Xia Yuan felt the threat of death, and his body subconsciously wanted to step back.

However, Genyuanshi bent down, easily grabbed Xia Yuan's arm, and then helped him stop with ease.

The two looked at each other again, and the situation was a little awkward.

"..."

Small actions can cause so much harm.

"Feel sorry."

"No need to apologize. After all, you are not facing Shiki, but me. It is not your fault that you feel fear when you see these eyes."

Origin shook his head and turned off the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, which made Xia Yuan's body stop reacting.

"but……"

"Yuan, I helped you complete your plan, and I haven't made up for your image in Shiki's heart yet. Isn't it fair that you give me some compensation?"

Gengenshiki said with a smile as he was right in front of him.

compensate?

Xia Yuan's heart thumped, and his brain was desperately thinking about what he could give to others.

Strength? He is several realms stronger than you. Even the Transcendents may not be as strong as the Origin Style. How can he give him strength? Besides, his strength is all given by the Origin Style.

Money? She didn't seem to need money. She could get whatever she wanted in a moment. Besides, she was pretty poor.

Rights? Everything in the world originates from the vortex of origin. They almost control the world's decision-making power. Do they still need to give it to me?

For a moment, Xia Yuan's brain was stuck in an unsolvable vicious circle.

"Hmm? Is this compensation really so hard to think of? I can give you a chance. If the compensation you propose can impress me, I will also fulfill one of your small wishes."

Seeing Xia Yuan looking distressed, Genyuanshi suddenly approached, tilted his head and couldn't help but smile slightly.

The long black hair was as beautiful as ink, coupled with the stunning face and temperament, Xia Yuan's heart beat faster at such a close distance.

The hair smells like ink.

Gen-shi's pair of eyes, which had lost their icy blue color, looked at him with a smile, like pearls on the bottom of the sea. She asked, "Tell me more. Let me see if you can come up with compensation that can impress me."

How should I compensate her? What kind of compensation can I offer to impress her?

Xia Yuan couldn't help but think about it.

But he soon let out a long breath and answered seriously.

"As for compensation, I have already thought about it."

"Oh, tell me about it."

The root-like face brings a bit of expectation.

"I will take care of you. Whether it's Shiki or Ori, I will do my best to take care of her and help her. No matter what kind of enemies or difficulties she faces, I will lend a helping hand until she finds true happiness. I know you are really strong, but sometimes you are also very playful. If you want, I will play with you and make trouble with you until you are happy and satisfied."

"That's probably all I can do, Shiki."

"I just like to walk around. How can that be considered playful?"

Genyuanshiki was a little surprised, and then retorted with some dissatisfaction.

"But...are you serious?"

"nature."

Xia Yuan nodded.

"Very good, this compensation... is perfect."

Genyuanshi also smiled, then she tapped Xia Yuan's head with her fingertips and asked.

"Yuan, do you have any wishes that you want to fulfill? As long as it's not too extreme, I can help you realize it."

"Yes, and I've thought about it a long time ago."

"Eh? So soon? Don't you want to think about it carefully? As long as it's not about traveling through the universe or becoming a transcendent, I can make it happen. I can even bring the dead back to life and achieve immortality."

As expected of a root type, it is much more useful than the Holy Grail...

"No need. I will achieve my two wishes of becoming a transcendent and returning to my own world by my own means. Immortality is not a reward but a punishment. As for resurrection, there is no need to disturb those who died of natural causes."

"You are really insightful."

Genyuanshi shook his head and asked curiously: "What is your wish?"

"Please tell me the secret of Asagami Fujino's painlessness and the treatment method."

Xia Yuan answered immediately without thinking.

But at this moment, Genyuanshi's expression seemed to have changed slightly.

"Are you really going to use this wish for a girl you've only met once?"

"Well, because even after thinking about it for a long time, Orange still couldn't figure out the real cause of painlessness. I was a little worried about her, so..."

Just worried...

Really, you used a wish so easily just for this reason. You really are...
