The android girl will not dream of the fairy knight sister

　"Rest well, my knights."

　You guys are just... pushing yourselves too hard...

　I have never complained about you.

　This is my fate and I accept it, that's all.

　-

　In the temple, the blue flames kept dancing.

　The lunch box quietly placed in the center was slowly opened, and the black shadow gradually covered the food inside.

　"Destiny has been rewritten..."

　A low voice sounded slowly.

　"Keep running, keep moving forward—"

　"Like a meteor across the sky,

　282

　Like the sun that never sets—"

　-

　The breeze blew through the sea of ​​flowers, and the girl continued to move forward holding the holy sword and holy spear.

　Wherever the figure passed, the sea of ​​flowers automatically made way for it.

　The girl moved forward slowly.

　Until the sound of laughter reached her ears, until a huge lake appeared in front of her eyes.

　"you..."

　The white-haired fairy slowly emerged from the lake, his eyes looking past the holy sword and holy spear in the girl's arms and directly at the girl herself.

　"I'm here to return the Holy Sword and Holy Lance."

　The face of the white-haired goblin slowly became clear.

　The girl was slightly stunned when she saw the familiar face in front of her.

　"Morgan...it's just that the aura is slightly different..."

　Vivian looked the girl up and down and nodded from time to time.

　"A fairy... a dragon-born fairy at that, this is truly incredible..."

　Vivian chuckled twice and waved her hand.

　"Holy Sword and Holy Lance..."

　Vivian reached out and took the two weapons, stroking them gently with her fingers.

　"King Arthur...after all..."

　"She accepted her fate and never regretted it."

　The girl spoke softly.

　"No regrets..."

　Vivian was silent for a moment, then put the holy sword and holy spear back into the girl's arms amidst her puzzled expression.

　"If you want to change your fate, then use it. You'll need it someday. After all, you've already returned it, haven't you?"

　-

　The Path of Choice: I. The Frozen Empire

　"It was already returned, and then it was loaned out again. This is not something you should do—woohoo!"

　White smoke slowly emerged from Vivian's fingertips.

　"If you dare to talk nonsense again, do you believe that I will really use magic to make you breathe only through gills?"

　"As horrible as ever..."

　Merlin stretched out his arms and waved them in front of him, clearing away the smoke and dust, then took a few steps back to create some distance between himself and Vivian.

　"Whatever you think, Merlin, stay away from that child. She is my knight, the fairy knight, the dragon's fairy—"

　"There are also fairies in Paradise, right? However, these attributes aren't inherent from the beginning, but are gradually added later."

　A pure and flawless fairy.

　"Tsk..."

　Vivian curled her lips and looked back at the calm lake.

　"Admit it, Vivian. You and I are the same. We can't make a choice. That child is an existence that came from the 'past future'."

　"You've become more and more annoying since becoming a Heroic Spirit, Merlin."

　"After all, I owe little Sieg a favor."

　Merlin smiled softly.

　"That child will have to make a decision sooner or later. The chaotic timeline factors—"

　From the "future that has already ended," also known as the "past," we continue to move forward toward the "future" called the "past."

　"That's not the Second Law at all. Although it does have the ability to travel through worlds, it's not the Second Law."

　"After all, restarting the world is something that even magic can't accomplish."

　Magic - Unidentified

　User: Sieg (Future)

　"If all the worlds are one vast ocean, and each person in it is a small boat, then the child is like using the inner sea of ​​the stars as an anchor, fixing himself to this ocean. No matter how the world changes, the anchor will always be there."

　Vivian turned around and looked at Merlin straight in the eyes.

　"You should have noticed by now. The entire 'Inner Sea of ​​Stars' has been stripped away, separated from that 'Land of Steel.' As the sole witness of that world, I have always followed little Sieg. Atlas Court is also part of the 'Inner Sea of ​​Stars'."

　"Of course I know about this kind of thing..."

　Merlin smoothed his hair, then reached out his hand and grasped a few petals.

　"This rebooted world now has two layers of 'Star Inner Sea'. We are at the bottom, and above that is the original 'Star Inner Sea'."

　"Time continues to move forward. Changing the past will not change the future. Because everything you do happens in the future, what you do in the next second will not affect the previous second."

　"So that child sped up the world, and at the cost of 'his' own future, he re-performed the Magic King's magic—"

　[Retrograde Canal·Genesis Light Year].

　"Do not..."

　Merlin chuckled and remained silent.

　5000 years of history is enough for the Magic King to go back to the moment when this planet was born.

　What about a future with no end in sight?

　The Third Law has been broken, and after an undetermined future, the immortal soul will perish.

　But that is the end of human life

　也无

　283

　The end that the Dharma cannot reach, the end that even time cannot erase.

　The girl saw herself still waiting desperately in the darkness, waiting for someone, and then she despaired.

　The story wasn't supposed to end like this.

　Sometimes people always hate happy endings, thinking they are too cliché.

　but--

　As a reader, it's a bit boring, but as a character in the story...

　No one wants to be followed by despair.

　In 5000 AD, mankind became extinct.

　And then, until the end...or rather, an existence that is even further than the end.

　Even Solomon and the awakened ones have never entered or even noticed the end.

　The girl still waited in despair.

　"He himself would never accept such an ending..."

　And then—time was dislocated.

　At the cost of burning all the future, time began to accelerate most crazily.

　From that day on, the stars in the sky have never stopped spinning.

　The halo that envelops the entire planet is constantly rotating.

　The most basic law that the past cannot catch up with the future and the future cannot catch up with the past has been broken.

　The future caught up with the past and then became intertwined with it.

　What we are experiencing now is just a fragment of the past. The real present is——

　Only now.

　-

　White...

　Endless white...

　The girl opened her mouth slightly and a puff of white air came out.

　Pursing her lips slightly, the girl put down the torn book in her hand, then slowly stood up and walked towards the storm wall in front of her, towards the storm wall she had seen in her "dream".

　Continue to move forward step by step.

　The storms and thunderclouds that could tear everything apart, each with a power comparable to the World Wall of a nuclear bomb—

　The scorching light gathered on the holy spear, and the red dragon eyes stared intently at the endless storm in front of it.

　The girl stopped and made a spear-throwing gesture towards the storm.

　"The hollow heart albion that no one knows!"

　A golden cross star appeared faintly in the storm, and then suddenly shot out with golden light.

　A large hole was pierced through the barrier surrounding the world.

　The girl walked out of the cave with a gloomy face, and the blizzard swept over her the next moment.

　Then it is vaporized in the air.

　The thick snow began to melt with the appearance of the girl, and the hard frozen soil also began to thaw slowly.

　The hallucinations of firestorms before my eyes became more frequent.

　The girl slowly walked towards the magma pool in front of her. In her dragon-like state, her calves and feet, which were not covered by stockings and shoes, stepped directly into the scorching earth.

　The warm touch spreads all the way up along the skin.

　It was as if someone was whispering gently in his ear.

　An incomprehensible sound, as if even the planet beneath our feet cannot make such a sound.

　But there was no sense of malice.

　She stretched out her sharp hand covered with black lines and pulled out the holy spear. A heavy armor that gleamed with technological light attached to the girl's body.

　The two huge engines at the back were spinning around, continuously spewing out hot air.

　The next second, the blizzard was split in two, and the girl's figure turned into a black meteor in the blue sky.

　Go straight towards the giant tree in the distance.
