I don't want to be a heroic spirit

But the black-haired girl surprisingly didn't feel scared.

On the contrary, she had forgotten how long it had been since she had felt this sense of security.

…………

"Really? Why do I always have to encounter this kind of thing?"

Bawanshi threw the scissors in her hand high up, and then without seeing anything, the scissors turned into pieces in mid-air.

The bullied black-haired girl was driven away by her. Before leaving, she tried to find out her name, but Bawanshi didn't tell her anything.

Before leaving, the black-haired girl stared at Bawanxi deeply for a long time, as if she wanted to remember her face completely in her mind.

Before the black-haired girl left, Ba Wanxi never opened her mouth again except for the first sentence, because she was afraid that as soon as she opened her mouth, she would be met with Yao Cui's unique sarcasm and difficulties.

"Congratulations, Master, you've captured the heart of another young girl. Judging by the girl's expression as she left, I'm afraid she will never forget you, Master. Master, you are truly a sinful woman."

"Forever is not that short? Besides, what's the point of congratulations? She's not even as pretty as me. Do you think I'd be tempted?"

Ever since obtaining Yao Cui's spiritual base, Ba Wanxi's greatest confidence is not in her strength, but in her appearance.

"I was almost led astray by you, Da Vinci. There's still a mess here waiting for me to sort out."

Bawanshi turned around and looked at the five bad girls in school uniforms standing aside like puppets.

Although I just rescued them, if I just let them leave, the result would not change at all.

Ignoring Da Vinci's terrible advice of "putting them all to sleep", Bawanxi extended her flawless index finger, as white as mutton-fat jade, and gently touched the forehead of the leading blonde girl.

"Magic is both convenient and terrifying."

It's not some inhuman magic trick like brainwashing, it's just a simple suggestion.

So that these five people will no longer have any ill will towards the black-haired girl.

"That's all I can do. Ultimately, I don't even know if what I'm doing is right or wrong, good or evil."

In order to prevent herself from blaming good people, she used hypnosis to let these people tell her the whole story in advance, and then made such a choice.

But that's about it.

After all, she was just an outsider, and perhaps she had no right to do such a thing to these people. Even these people had no right to bully others, as they were the ones who made the mistake first.

Perhaps, this hint will harm them in the future. After all, no one can predict what will happen in the future.

Good intentions may lead to evil deeds, and evil intentions may also lead to good results.

Therefore, Bawanshi always tells herself that she will not take good and evil as goals, nor will she use good and evil as excuses.

"I did it out of selfish desire."

Let my heart tell me what I should do and what is the right thing to do.

It is precisely because she can always clearly understand her true intentions that she has not been completely changed by the spiritual base of her servants, and can unswervingly walk on the path she has chosen.

Chapter 25 Destined to Be a Hero

"Da Vinci, how many times has that been bullying at school?"

At this time, Ba Wanxi was walking alone deeper into the alley. The five bad girls had been hypnotized and driven away by her. Once they all returned home, they would recover and would automatically forget about the bullying.

"Eight times, six of which involved young girls being bullied. In other words, Master, you've been the hero saving the damsel in distress at least six times~~ As expected, Master, you're well-suited to being a hero."

Bawanshi was almost used to Leonardo da Vinci's teasing.

"Eight instances of bullying, seven instances of malicious pickup, two gang fights, a drug deal, and even a wild sex scene between a man and a woman... Are the alleys in this country really this chaotic?"

What's wrong with that couple? If they didn't go to the hotel, they could have at least gone to the woods!

Don't get me wrong, Bawanshi didn't suddenly want to maintain law and order and eliminate criminals on a whim. She is no longer at the age of hero worship.

She frequently went in and out of such dark corners because such places could easily breed unclean things.

"Ah, I found it. It took me a while to find it."

After turning a corner, Bawanxi finally found her target.

Although the brightness was low, Bawanshi could still clearly see the black shadow.

"Gulu...Gulu..."

"Can't you speak? That's right. If you had any sense, you definitely wouldn't want to stay in such a dirty and smelly place for even a second. The environment in the cafe next door is much better than here."

The cursed spirit without a lower body and eyes was attracted by the breath of the living on Bawanxi, and the feeding instinct drove her to prey on the girl in front of her.

But it confuses the hunter and the prey.

Listening to the hoarse roar of the cursed spirit, Bawanshi felt it was a waste to say a word, and killed the opponent with a single strike.

"Master, I think you should take a break. This is the thirty-seventh cursed spirit you've dealt with today."

"Is that much already?"

Ba Wanxi walked out slowly from the dark alley, and the dazzling sunlight made her a little dazed.

"...Then we can't stop. The frequency of the cursed spirits has increased so much. Even if it's not for Geto Suguru and his descendants, for the ordinary people who are about to die at the hands of the cursed spirits... If I kill one more cursed spirit, maybe I can prevent a few more tragedies."

Listening to Bawanshi's mumbling, Da Vinci gradually revealed a gentle smile.

There was one thing that Da Vinci actually didn't tell her Master.

If an ordinary person merges with the spirit base of a heroic spirit without authorization, there is a high possibility that he will be assimilated by the spirit base and gradually become like the owner of the spirit base.

But Ba Wanxi, or rather, her Phoenix Feather, is different.

He has the qualifications to be a hero.

It's not about strength, deeds or anything like that, but something more essential, something that constitutes the existence of [That Phoenix Feather].

"Some people are destined to be heroes."

The Phoenix Feather is like Shirou Emiya when he was an ordinary person. Shirou Emiya who had never been exposed to magic was just an ordinary high school student. Although he was a good cook and very gentle, he was no different from other people.

But in countless parallel worlds, there are countless Shirou Emiya who have experienced different lives, and many of them have become Heroic Spirits.

Emiya, the Heroic Spirit who inherited Emiya Kiritsugu's will, Emiya Alter, who completely abandoned his humanity, and Emiya the Great Warrior who fought through the Holy Grail War in one night just for his sister...

Shirou Emiya has certain characteristics similar to many ancient heroes. His ordinary life makes it difficult for an ordinary person like Shirou Emiya to discover these characteristics, and even more difficult to discover them.

The same goes for Feng Huangyu. The environment he lives in is too peaceful.

In fact, the world he has been living in does not even have any mystery, and there is no parallel world. Otherwise, perhaps he in a parallel world would be recorded in the Throne of Heroes, and then one day he would be born in response to someone's call.

A certain quality similar to that of the great heroes of ancient times allows him to not be completely devoured by himself even when using the spiritual base of others. He can even use this spiritual base to gradually hone this quality into shape.

"Dear Da Vinci, where is the next destination?"

"Don't worry, don't worry. We're analyzing it. Master is working so hard, I feel bad for slacking off."

Seeing the small red dot suddenly appear on the light screen, Bawanshi cheered up and headed to the next location.

"It's actually a shrine?"

After arriving at the place, Ba Wanxi was surprised.

After all, who would have thought that the shrine, which is considered very sacred by people, would become the birthplace of the cursed spirit.

"That's not hard to understand. After all, in Japan, the line between ghosts and gods has always been very blurred. There have been examples of ghosts being worshipped as gods since ancient times." Da Vinci's voice, which only Bawanshi could hear, began to explain. "Also, this shrine should have been abandoned a long time ago. It looks quite old. Maybe they've set their sights on this land and want to tear it down to build something else."

"Someone's actually interested in the place where the cursed spirit was born? No, that's not right... Perhaps it's because someone noticed something was wrong here that construction hasn't started yet."

"If that's the case, then there's a high probability that someone has already died, Master."

"That's right, then..." Bawanxi's handsome brows frowned slightly, "We can't just ignore it."

"I think so." Da Vinci smiled as if he had expected it. "Then I'll just do my support work as usual."

"By the way, where did Mashu go?"

"In order to better distinguish the cursed power of your sorcerers and cursed spirits, and to maximize the detection range, Mash and I made some special improvements to the equipment last night. Afterwards, I sent her off to sleep. Really, you finally don't have to go to the front lines anymore, why can't you learn from Romani in Chaldea and take a break from the battle?"

Da Vinci sighed helplessly.

"Dear Da Vinci, if Mashu really studied medicine, I would be even more worried."

"...That's right, that guy is a jerk. He showed off a bit and then ran off irresponsibly."

"..."

Bawanshi suddenly stopped talking.

She thought again of the man who always wore a white robe and had a dejected but gentle smile on his face, as if anyone could bully him.

At the final singularity, that person appeared before her in a different form, once again becoming a messenger walking on earth on behalf of the gods, and becoming the eyes that watched over humanity on behalf of the gods.

But at the very end, in the glory, he once again showed her familiar smile, telling her that he was still the doctor she had always known.

He is not the omniscient and omnipotent King Solomon. He is just an ordinary person who can only struggle helplessly in the face of the despair that is bound to come.

"...Dear Da Vinci."

Bhavanshi suddenly spoke.

"What if... I keep traveling, visiting one world after another... can I see the Doctor again?"

"All I can say is that the possibility is not zero."

"Yeah……"

The sun is shining especially brightly today.

Bawanxi raised her head and raised her fist towards the blazing sun.

"Then I have one more reason to keep going—sitting with the doctor and eating strawberry cake together again."

Chapter 26 Abandoned Shrine

This is a deserted shrine built halfway up a mountain.

There are not many traces of this era here. The long stone steps are covered with fallen leaves, and no one comes to clean them.

There are not many traces of modern processing, but the breath of nature is very strong.

Although it is a sunny day today, the visibility in the deep forest is not high because the tall trees block the bright sunshine. It is hard to imagine that there is such a place in the middle of the city that has not been polluted by modern industry.

On the way, Bawanshi was surprised to see a butterfly fluttering in the air. Its sapphire-like wings seemed covered with a layer of golden sand in the sunlight.

In addition to the butterflies, Bawanxi also saw a fox deep in the forest. Legend has it that foxes are very spiritual creatures. This fox was quite alert. Bawanxi just glanced at it and it ran away without looking back.

After walking up the long stone stairs and passing through the old red torii gate that looked like it might collapse at any time, Bawanshi finally arrived at the abandoned shrine where the cursed spirits lived.

At the moment she took this step, Ba Wanxi had a feeling.

It was as if what was under my feet were not bricks but wriggling pieces of flesh, as if what was in front of me was not a shrine but a huge abyss waiting for food to fall.

However, this feeling only lasted for a moment. When she came to her senses, Bawanxi was still standing there, as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion.

But Bawanxi was not so foolish as to regard what she had just seen and felt as an illusion.

There is something very wrong with this place.

At least, the cursed spirits in this shrine are definitely not on the same level as the little ghosts seen everywhere before.

"interesting."

Her gorgeous red lips curved like a crescent moon, and her gray eyes flashed with a violent, blood-red light.

"Looks like I won't be bored next time."

The spiritual base in the body was restless because it had been too long since he encountered anyone interesting, and there was no opponent worth killing.

The flower of death is thirsty for the nourishment of blood.

The gate of the shrine was closed, as if refusing entry to all visitors.

When the old wooden door was opened, the sound of it failing under the weight made people feel that the door would collapse at any moment.

When Bhavanshi looked inside the house, she was stunned.

"..."

She retracted her foot that was about to enter the door, looked carefully at the entire shrine, then walked into the house, took a look inside, and then walked out again, walked a little further away, and looked carefully at the building in front of her.

"Master, stop doubting reality and go in."
