"I'm out of the house~ What do you want Miss Mary to eat at night?"

"Miso soup if you can?"

“......”

It was midday, and ** with a basket and Olga Marie, who was tinkering with the time machine, were having the same conversation as before, but for Ryunosuke, the conversation between the two of them was as heavy and loud as Huang Zhong Dalu, and the pressure they brought could even make him feel his heart beating clearly.

"Where's Ryunosuke?" Turning lightly and smiling at him.

No, maybe she didn't actually intend to smile at all, but because the sunlight here was too dazzling, she had to squint her eyes, and in order not to let her poor standing self find out, she would make an expression that matched the change in her eyes.

"I don't care about the food or anything, you come with me." Ryunosuke said in a deep voice, then took a few steps forward and grabbed her wrist.

"Huh...... All right. Blinking suspiciously, he handed the basket he was carrying in his other hand to Olga Marie.

I was probably blind before, so I thought she was a natural ...... Ryunosuke had been paying attention to the change in her expression from beginning to end, and when she heard her unreasonable request, her micro-expression changed three times in the blink of an eye.

If you want to match those expressions with lines......

- Ryunosuke has committed the second in the middle school again.

- Did he fail in the second grade?

- [In this case, there is no way].

How could he never know that his childhood sweetheart's inner drama was so rich?

No, there are still some signs, when it is just her and herself, she occasionally spits out a sentence or two, but when there are any outsiders present, she is always a natural dull appearance.

But in fact, I've been complaining desperately in my heart!

If you want to say why you found out, there is no doubt that it is because she was unreasonable in the "last world".

[Cú Chulainn]'s "Noble Phantasm Attack" was "reflected" by the construct equipped with the "Mirror Shield", which was supposed to hit Ryunosuke, and Illya and Kalian's rescue methods were already ready to go, but some kind of magic or magic diverted the attack one step earlier, and then accurately hit the heart of ** a few kilometers away.

Later, after Karen's and Illya's confirmation, it was confirmed that the "transfer" was affected by some kind of triggering magic on **'s body, but since it had been triggered and disappeared, it was impossible to deduce what it was.

Ryunosuke, who was full of grief and annoyance, returned this time, and he didn't plan to trouble Leif anymore, so he took this natural childhood friend to get rid of that stupid trigger magic trick first.

————

"It's a Self Geas Scroll?" Illya, who was asked to check, looked at ** in surprise: "No, no, this magic is more effective, otherwise it will not be possible to divert all the attacks of the Noble Phantasm." ”

"What's the effect of that thing?" Ryunosuke glanced at ** with an expression between "Oops, I was discovered" and "Strange, how did I find out", and asked Illya.

"The effect is—"

Illya tilted her head and half-recognized:

"When the 'elder brother' suffers a wound that is 'fatal', transfer it to himself at the cost of erasing any relationship between you from the 'root' level. Wow, you're stupid, make this kind of oath condition, you know, in the wizarding world, '**' is not the end in many cases. ”

"Hey, hey~"**Trying to get by.

But obviously, *Ji is younger than her, and Illya, who is more cute than her, doesn't eat this set: "Hmph, I'll just say, I vaguely heard that the Lin family is a pair of brothers and sisters before, and then you became an only daughter I'm quite strange, it turns out that this is the case - but, will someone be 'fatal enough' because they are paralyzed?" ”

"Even if you ask me ......," he said, looking at Ryunosuke, "I only have this 'brother' now, and I have forgotten how the previous testimony was made." ”

Yes, erase any relationship, including memory, even if you don't know each other.

In the previous "non-magical world", even if "that person" existed, it was most likely to be the extent that the "brother next door" was mistaken for the "brother of the Lin family", and sure enough, there were many strange worlds of magic or magic.

"Biologically, there are such cases, such as sharks," Ryunosuke, who is sure that he doesn't know anything, adds: "If a shark is paralyzed – assuming it can – then it will sink directly to the bottom of the sea, but it will probably drown before then." ”

"Hmm......" Illya stared at ** for a while, and then turned to look at Ryunosuke: "Combined with the 'time machine' you are experimenting with, can I think that you killed her once?" Maybe more than once? ”

“...... Be. "Ryunosuke can't refute this, after all, his behavior is too strange now, and he can find such a hidden trigger magic trick or something just after awakening his magic ability.

So that's why she didn't refuse every time she asked Illya to beat someone before? Guessed it a long time ago?

"How can this effect be circumvented?" Before Illya could say anything else, Ryunosuke hurriedly interrupted her: "The opponent is the [Executor] of the [Seal Designation], and he has set his sights on the time machine, which cannot be solved by us avoiding it, and in addition, he can forcibly transfer it to the enemy as a means of killing." ”

Since it is not a one-level topic, Ryunosuke is not going to tell Illya about the timeline or the worldline for the time being, as long as there is a way to deal with it, he can try every option of this "game" one by one - there will always be a line to ensure that she does not die.

"In that case...... You've got to find a Caster, a magician, and fight poison with poison - no, it's 'only magic can defeat magic,'" Illya said, "Even if you can't suppress the effect of this testimony, as long as you defeat him slowly and with low damage, even if you use diversion, you won't do much damage." ”

Illya looked eager to try, and almost said "choose me and choose me", but no, when she mainly borrowed Basaka's combat power before, she was just on the sidelines, barely okay, but if she was put on the front line as the main force, she would definitely be killed by Mr. Kelly.

"Caster, what do you think of [Medea] who is always sticking to Katsudagi-sensei?" Ryunosuke changed the subject.

While Ryunosuke wasn't sure if that ** was Caster or not, at least the name was similar.

"If you find that female fox who hates ten times more than the violent nun, I won't go!" Illya exclaimed, "...... However, it is possible to lend you the Basaka temporarily. ”

I always feel that the relationship between these "quasi-masters" and "quasi-followers" is very delicate......
