Fujimaru Tachika recalled carefully, from leaving Chaldea to now, he can be sure that he did not do anything that could interest Holmes.

"Hmm... It seems that it's better to get to the point quickly. The witch you met, the name... is it called Ichihara Yuko, right? Although you are very important as an introduction, the King of Knights who investigated the clues also put in a lot of hard work. .”

Hearing this unfamiliar yet familiar name at first, the teenager's expression was a bit like a student who was found with zero marks in the test paper.

It was Arthur who was next to him who spoke first, "I'm very sorry, because I was very concerned about Lixiang's sleep talk and found a strange magical reaction, so I investigated a little bit."

Some kind of vague connection surfaced before and after.Only then did Tatsuka Fujimaru realize that this was the reason why Arthur met Hibari that day.

"He has the characteristics of a traveler in another world. Compared with others, he is an excellent search candidate." The detective on the screen put his hands under his chin and looked at the boy with interest, "Then what are you going to do?" Well, Mr. Fujimaru."

"How to do what...?" He blinked, indicating that he didn't understand the question.

"Is there any need to think about it? Of course it is a wish. Because of the great achievements of successfully preventing the burning of humanity, there is nothing that human beings can give you. As long as you want to have it, you can have it; but if it is If a witch is independent of the dimension, then it is something on another level. In other words, as long as you pay a sufficient price, it is possible to free a certain existence from nothingness, right?"

"But that treasure..."

It is a farewell poem of giving up everything. No matter how many miracles he created during his lifetime, no one will ever pray to him, no one will rely on him, and no one will seek him again.

Life knows the end of death from birth. This is a pilgrimage of accumulated pain, but it is by no means a story cut off by death.

The only enlightened savior of mankind celebrates life while fighting on the premise of total death.

So cunning.Fujimaru Tatsuka thought.

"Then why not?"

"..."

Seeing that he did not answer, Holmes repeated, "Then why not. As far as the status quo is concerned, only those who have jumped out of the rules can be exchanged for those who are already outside the rules."

The young man's heartbeat missed a beat at first, and soon it became as dense as a drum beating.The eardrums also jumped along with it, and the hands and feet were unbearably cold, and the rush of blood brought a subtle numbness.

"As a detective, the conclusion should be cautious, so the conclusion I can tell you is-it can be done."

If it was said that Tateka Fujimaru's mind was blank when Holmes spoke the first word, then now it was like a station full of thousands of cars, so noisy that he didn't know what to think about.

May I?Is it really possible?

Detectives can always judge the thoughts of their assistants from the subtle expressions, "—Conversely, are you aware of the price you are about to pay? It may be to exchange your life for it, or it may be exchanged for more orderly Great disorder, and even disrupt the world again. Mr. Fujimaru... No, my excellent assistant, do you have the consciousness to take on everything?"

Fujimaru Tatsuka hesitated, and at the moment he was thinking, Holmes terminated the communication easily and unilaterally.

The room was silent, even the sound of breathing was hard to detect, as if falling into space, no sound could be heard.

Arthur was determined to break the isolated silence, he leaned forward slightly and said, "Lixiang."

"It's already this time, I'm going to be late for school soon, let's go first!"

The boy hurriedly took a washed apple from the sink, and almost rushed out the door.

It wasn't until he ran out of the street and was illuminated by the dazzling sunlight outside that Fujimaru Tachika vaguely remembered that today is the weekend and there is no need to go to class.

It was also fortunate that Arthur didn't expose such a poor excuse on the spot.

Surrounded by a thriving scene, there is no shadow or despair, there is the loving voice of the mother, the broad back of the father, and the snuggling of the lover.

Fujimaru Tachika stared at it for a while, then lowered his head and gnawed at the apple in his hand, the sweet and sour juice immediately filled his taste buds, which was obviously a good taste worthy of praise, but he frowned.

Different.

The taste is too different from the golden apples I ate in Chaldea.

The taste of the golden-like bright fruit is like a softened sponge, with no extra taste. If you taste it carefully, you may be able to chew a bit of astringency.

At first he was very resistant to golden apples, but then somehow he got used to them, and finally he took it for granted that apples should taste like this.

Fujimaru Tachika sped up his movements, and swallowed the fruit whole. When he put the core into the trash can, Da Vinci's words suddenly sounded in his ears - once he had eaten the food of the underworld, he could not return to the mortal world.

Chaldea is like another hell, filled with dead souls, but it is these past souls who are protecting the future of the living and using their bodies to build a bridge for human progress.

Maybe he was really affected by it. When Holmes announced the conclusion, he felt happy from the bottom of his heart, but at the same time, he was afraid of this happiness.

Abandoning the world in order to save someone, is there any point in what he did to save the future?

It was too heavy. On the one hand, he wanted to see Roman again, and on the other hand, he didn't dare to make a big gamble with the world that had returned to normal.The weights on the balance have always been ruthless, no matter which side you choose, there will be irreversible consequences.

Before this proposition, Fujimaru Tachika was inevitably confused.

Sitting on a bench by the street, he vaguely heard the conversation between two children, from far to near, and the sound of footsteps became clearer and clearer.

"What does this have to do with apples?" asked one.

Another replied very patiently: "So, Apple is a reward for those who give their lives for love and hope."

"But if you die, don't you have nothing?"

"What's the end? It's better to say that Kenji wants to express the meaning of 'death is the beginning'."

Being touched to a certain nerve, the young man suddenly raised his head to look for the two voices, but the traffic flow of people had long since drowned their traces, leaving no trace at all.

Is the apple a reward for those who give their lives for love and hope....

Fujimaru Tateka lowered his eyes, his eyelashes covered his thoughts, and he stared at his hands that were close together, as if there was a golden apple there.

He accepted the gift of golden apples from the doctor. From that moment on, Roman put love and hope in his hands, and then used his own death to defeat the despair brought about by the overpowering of the beast.

If you can, if, if you can...

The young man fell into a sleepy state, and soon, a piercing cry and a familiar voice pulled him back to the world from the clouds.

"Wow wow wow wow!!"

"Don't cry, I'll help you."

Fujimaru Tachika got up and walked towards the source of the sound, just in time to meet Sawada Tsunayoshi falling from the tree in embarrassment, he asked strangely: "What's wrong?"

The latter showed an awkward smile and got up from the ground, "...It's you, Fujimaru-senpai. Well, because her balloon is hanging on a branch, I want to help, but I... can't do it."

A little girl next to her was sobbing, her red eyes fixed on the balloon among the branches.

"I'll do it." He said after looking away.

Fujimaru Tachika moved her body, leaned over slightly, took a deep breath and then let it out slowly, and when she raised her head again, her gaze was as sharp as a sword.

There is no need to use magic to exert force under the feet, but only the perfect coordination between muscles.One step, two steps, the powerful explosive power created by long-term training made him walk on the tree trunk as if walking on the ground, and walked directly to the target position.

The black-haired and blue-eyed boy deftly took down the balloon hanging from the tree branch, handed it to Tsunayoshi Sawada after landing, and watched the younger generation take the balloon to coax the little girl until she broke into a smile and thanked them sweetly .

After sending the little girl away, Fujimaru Tachika changed the subject and asked, "Why did you come out alone? Where are the others?"

Although Varian is standing still for the time being, there is no guarantee that they will not attack secretly like last time. It is the best choice for Sawada Tsunayoshi to stay with his companions.

"Please, don't tell them! Actually, I came out hiding from Prison-kun and Yamamoto. How should I put it... Uh, I..." The brown-haired boy hesitated, as if he had a lot to say, but Can't find a vent.

He pointed in the direction, "Then do you want to have a chat?"

The river is flowing leisurely, not hesitating to be tired, rushing towards the established direction all the way.

The two lay on the lawn by the river, the wind blowing gently, occasionally bringing the fragrance of flowers, looking up at the sky, and sometimes birds passing by.

Sawada Tsunayoshi opened his mouth, but first apologized, obviously it was his own business, and even involved people who had nothing to do with it.

"I'm used to it, so let's talk about your business."

Encouraged by Fujimaru Tachika, this cowardly boy finally vomited quickly after a long backlog. The matter of the tutor, the matter of being forced to study in the Spartan style, and the matter of the ring, all vented. come out.

"It was he who broke into other people's homes without permission, and then said that he was my tutor, and said that he wanted to train me to be the top leader of the mafia... My life has completely changed, it's really terrible Already!!"

Fujimaru Tachika was a little distracted, although he didn't have such a ghostly tutor, but the feeling of being forced to go to fate was too similar.

Suddenly, he saw the self who had no choice but to embark on the journey of human restoration. In fact, when Matthew asked him to hold her hand, he was hiding his trembling.

That is the human instinctive fear of death.He is not a hero, nor is he a talented magician. Natural fear and natural fear are the most authentic reactions of an ordinary person when facing death.

Originally, he should have been admitted to a university normally, graduated normally, and then became a normal office worker, busy and muddled.But after the explosion in the control room, Fujimaru Tatsuka's entire life was rewritten.

but……

Fujimaru Tachika asked him seriously, and also asked himself seriously, "Do those things make you feel annoying?"

The author has something to say:

A clip of two schoolchildren from the Rotating Penguin Tank discussing the famous Milky Way Railroad Night.It has been changed a little bit, and I pay tribute to this animation that I love so much! ! !

The golden apples are the 20 apples given by the doctor at the end... In the penguin jar, sharing apples means that if you are in despair, I will share my life and life with you and give you hope.
