【Original God】I am looking for the flesh and blood of love in time and space

In the laboratory, the sound of beeping from instruments, the sound of tumbling liquid, and the sound of collision of glassware——

Not quiet, but exceptionally harmonious.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

The knock on the door was not loud, and Dotore did not notice it at first.

But the knock on the door sounded again with unusual regularity.

As mentioned before, Dotore hates anything that interrupts his experiments.

But at this age, he is calm enough, unlike some kid who rushes to the door with a corrosive potion.

He just frowned slightly and selectively ignored the voice.

wrong--

A person suddenly flashed into Dotore's mind.

Forgot your key?

Or lost the key?

Because before this, Dotore really rarely spent time in this house.

The facilities here are even eliminated from those laboratories, and they have a rustic flavor that has not been contaminated by technology.

So Dotore couldn't know who the person at the door was by some means.

Even so, he walked to the door for the possibility that flashed through his mind.

Open the door——

It's Pantalone.

Although Dotore had only shown half of his face, his complexion had darkened visibly.

"What are you here for?"

Even Pantalone, who was accustomed to Dotore's always rude tone, couldn't help but say:

"Why are you speaking so hastily today?"

Pantalone innocently raised the box in her hand: "Come and give something to Miss "Chisu"."

Pantalone walked into the room naturally and looked up and down——

How should I put it, there is a strange sense of life.

"she is not here?"

Dotore closed the door:

"I have to ask you, she came to find you."

"...?"

"What time did she leave the house?"

Dotore glanced at the clock on the wall casually, and his lazy expression cracked in an instant——

"It's been four hours."

As soon as these words came out, both of them were stunned.

In four hours, even if it was moved, it was done.

".....Go out and look for it!"

On the other side, the girl sat awkwardly opposite a man.

The man wore a half-mask and a beard, but he didn't look slovenly.

Yes--

"Harlequin" Piero.

"You don't have to be restrained, miss. If you want to drink something, you can just order it."

Piero pushed the menu in front of the girl.

The girl originally waved goodbye to the ice fishing young man from a distance and then went to the hotel where she stayed. Unexpectedly, when she arrived in the lobby, she did not find Pantalone, but met this man instead.

For some reason, the girl was a little afraid of Piero.

It wasn't because of his power that could rival the gods, or the temperament of a so-called superior, but because she could inexplicably feel something from him——

The majesty of the elders. ·

Although he appeared affable and his tone was gentle.

Although the girl knew that her disguise at that time was not very good, she still did not expect to be recognized at a glance in public.

But because of the sensitivity of the identity of "Chisu", Piero just whispered these two words in her ear when he first met her.

"Don't be nervous, your disguise is not that bad," Piero seemed to see the girl's uneasiness, "I can recognize you only because-"

Piero deliberately lengthened his tone to observe the girl's reaction.

"I have known of your existence for a long time."

he knows?

Do you know the existence of "Chisu", or--

The existence of the so-called "daughter"?

"It seems that the Queen has not told you."

The coffee arrived at this time, and Piero took the waiter's tray thoughtfully and placed the girl's cup in front of her:

"In a sense, I witnessed your birth."

"!"

The girl's consciousness instantly sank into her memory, and she began to search continuously——

If so, there should be his shadow in the memory.

But no matter how hard the girl tries, she can be sure that——

Piero had no part in any of her past.

A trace of "distrust" crept into the girl's eyes, which naturally could not be hidden from Piero's insight.

"Sorry, I didn't make it clear."

"I was involved in your birth."

This sentence is even more weighty.

participate?

Piero gently stirred the coffee in his hand, like an elegant old gentleman:

"As far as I know, more than one person has studied your body."

"I guess that's what they said."

"Perfect."

The girl didn't touch the cup of coffee, she just squeezed the fabric on her knees.

Indeed, both Albedo and Dotore's evaluation of her body was -

If you look at it from a "human" perspective, it is perfect.

Except there is no heart.

Her body is like a real human body. If you just rely on the naked eye or basic inspection, there will be no evidence that she is "inhuman".

"Because your body is my responsibility."

Piero himself was also an alchemist, and it was said that his strength was only inferior to that of the Golden Reindot.

"The wishes of countless girls were fused to create and refine a perfect body."

"A girl's... wish?"

This concept is too abstract, and it is difficult for a girl to understand it for a while.

"Extracted from the earth's veins, a girl's wish."

"Leyline?"

Originally, the girl thought that her body was made by the Queen.

Now it seems that if Piero had not lied——

Her body also comes from earth veins.

According to Piero, even her current stunning face was all driven by the girl's desire.

But, something is wrong.

"Eye--"

"my eyes."

The girl raised her head so that Piero could see her eyes clearly:

"Then my eyes are exactly the same as my mother's, how can I explain it?"

"If everything I have comes from ley lines, then——"

"How should I explain the traces on my body that belong to my mother?"

"Your Excellency "Harlequin", your purpose——"

The girl's eyes inevitably became sharp:

"What exactly is it?"

The "Harlequin" and the Queen are in a cooperative relationship.

It's just that this kind of cooperation is not like a community of interests, but more like each getting what he needs.

Therefore, it is normal for them to compete for some resources.

Although the words of "Harlequin" are pertinent, they are all aimed at the Queen of Winter.

"Do you want to take advantage of the fact that I am at odds with my mother and drag me into your camp?"

The girl's dissatisfaction was palpable: "What do you think your unfounded words can do to sway me?"

Things didn't seem to go as Piero expected, but he didn't care.

The purpose of this trip was not the girl, she was just an unexpected surprise in his handling of affairs.

It doesn't matter if she doesn't trust him now, anyway, every word he says——

Not a word is a lie.

"Miss 'Chisu', I just think you have the right to know."

The "Harlequin" used his strength to block the girl's hostility. He didn't linger much, stood up and saluted the girl:

"If you are interested someday, you are welcome to come see me."
