Re:Zero: Starting from the Great Transformation

After a moment, he spoke:

"From what I know, given the scale of the Great Transfer, we can basically rule out the possibility of someone unauthorized using magic. If it was a magic that was released by someone, I believe it would have far surpassed the realm of divine magic. Even the most powerful summoning magic could not summon a person from another world, because no one could afford such a huge amount of magic power."

"But even so, we still cannot rule out the possibility that this is man-made."

"Perhaps it's a large-scale transfer achieved with the help of a magic circle. In any case, this is theoretically possible..."

"As for the deeper reasons, you can only find them on yourselves."

"In any case, you need further physical examination, Silvalir."

Following Perkius's exchange, Silvalir stepped forward and responded.

"You two, please come with me."

Physical examination?

It sounds like a common excuse for extremely cruel human experiments.

Maybe they will inject strange liquids into the body, or take the opportunity to leave specimens. Who knows when many clones will appear in the world.

Qixing and I subconsciously looked towards Orsted.

This action caused Pergius to chuckle.

Orsted's face was expressionless.

"It's okay. Perkius is trustworthy. Go get the checkup. I still have something to discuss with him..."

Since Orsted said so, there should be no problem.

……

……

While following Silvalir to have a physical examination.

Qixing said nothing.

I felt that the atmosphere was a bit solemn and wanted to break this weird atmosphere.

However, looking at Qixing's expression, I always felt like I didn't know how to start.

How should I put it? Could he be angry?

Even if I were to speculate this, I wouldn't be able to verify it, because this is in the Sky Fortress, and Silvalir is with me.

It is better to be careful with your words and actions and not say unnecessary words.

result.

Until the end of the examination, Qixing and I didn't say a word to each other.

……

……

The inspection is not complicated.

To be precise, he was simply standing inside a magical device engraved with various strange magic circles.

The inspection took about an hour and was completed.

The inspection results will need to be analyzed later.

But I think that is meaningless.

After all, it is impossible to see the truth of the Great Shift and the reason why we came to this world based on our physical condition.

At most it's just a consolation.

how to say……

This meeting really disappointed me.

Pergius was indeed an authority in the field of transfer and summoning, but even he couldn't draw any conclusions out of thin air.

He could only make the most basic feasibility and possibility analysis based on existing theories.

In this case……

Do I still need to stay here?

……

……

After the inspection.

Led by Silvalir, we came to a room in the sky fortress.

The room had been cleaned up in advance, with a bed and a separate bathroom, and it looked like it was prepared for the guests who came here.

Although there are hardly any customers here...

Although it is said to be an independent room, there seems to be some equipment in every corner of the aerial fortress. What happens here may be known to Pergius, so we still have to be careful in what we say and do.

In short, this is our temporary residence.

Expect to stay here for a few days.

Let's wait until Orsted and Pergius have a discussion before deciding whether to leave...

I thought so.

When I was about to return to the room, Qixing suddenly called me.

"Ron."

"……What's wrong?"

"Although it's a bit strange to ask this question at this point, I still want to confirm. You really want to go back, right?"

Qixing's voice sounded a little uneasy.

"Of course I want to go back. Isn't that why we've been traveling with Orsted?"

"But, rather than how to get back, don't you want to know how we got here..."

"I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."

I turned and walked in front of Qixing, looking at her seriously.

"I just think that if we know how we came to this world, we might be able to reversely deduce how to go back, that's all."

"really?"

"Of course, when have I ever lied to you?"

"That's it..."

After hearing what I said.

Qixing breathed a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders.

Could it be that she has been feeling uneasy about this all along?

Girls' minds are so complicated...

No, you can’t say that either.

Perhaps it was because my actions didn't seem like I was looking for a way back that Qixing felt uneasy.

As a senior, I can't shift the blame onto Qixing.

So from now on...

At least in front of Qixing, I should have a correct attitude.

"Then, go to bed early."

"Well, see you tomorrow."

Travel: 23. The End of the Journey

The next day, Qixing and I got up very early.

Maybe it’s because I often sleep outdoors, and even if I can suddenly sleep on a soft bed, I can’t change my daily routine.

After washing up, I went to the next room and said hello to Qixing.

She looked like she had a good rest last night and looked very healthy.

And how to say it...

There's a feeling of determination.

"I made a decision."

Qixing said very seriously.

"I will stay here temporarily to learn about transfer magic from Pergius. If he is unwilling to teach, I will find a place to study peacefully on my own until I achieve definite results."

"That's it..."

Magic research.

Qixing intends to try to find a way back from this aspect.

Although she was not interested in magic, transfer magic was the only clue at the moment, and Pergius, as an authority on transfer magic, was now within reach, which was undoubtedly a good opportunity.

Having read the original novel, I understand that in the future, the Seven Stars will make great progress in transfer and summoning magic, and may even be able to actually summon people and objects from Earth.

Until one day, Qixing will suffer a huge setback.

But by that time, Rudeus will be by his side, and he should be able to overcome even the biggest setback.

So at this time I don't need to say anything discouraging, I just need to cheer her up.

"I believe you can do it."

After I said this.

Qixing tilted his head and asked me again:

"I plan to concentrate on studying magic. What about you? If you don't travel with Orstead anymore, what are your plans?"

When I heard this, I was stunned.

"Nana, you... don't want me to stay and study magic with you?"

"That would be the best, but it's impossible, right?"

"Why do you say that?"

"So far, you've shown absolutely no interest in magic. Even if I asked you to learn magic with me right now, I'm afraid you wouldn't agree. Besides, judging by your appearance, you should have already thought about your next move, right?"

"……yes."

I couldn't help but smile bitterly.

It really deserves to be called Seven Stars.

He had actually guessed what I was thinking a long time ago.

"So, what are your plans?"

"Don't laugh at me, but I actually want to be an adventurer."

"what?"

Looking at Nanahoshi's wide-eyed expression, I scratched my head sheepishly.

This idea is not groundless.

During the three years of traveling with Orsted, unlike Qixing who only wanted to go back, I have been constantly searching for the meaning of my coming to this world.

If I have to say, I don't have too many ties to that world.

The reason why I expressed to Qixing that I also wanted to go back was that, in the final analysis, I had no reason to stay here.

There is no need to go back, nor is there any need to stay here.

So I wanted to find a reason.
