Stray Chapter 65: Happy April Fool’s Day
"The problem is completely solved, and the world where no one gets hurt is complete..."
Walking out of the north building of Sanze School, Xia Ran stretched lazily. It turns out that doing a good deed every day is such a wonderful feeling. Today, I did another great deed.
Aureos' original intention was not to be like those classic villains, but to "destroy the world" or "become the **** of the new world", and so on for absolutely nothing new. To save a helpless girl.
That's right, Index.
It can be said that, just like Kamijou Touma, he was also the hero in that story... However, the only difference is that he did not win to the end, but failed, Index In the end, his memory was wiped out, and he could no longer be remembered.
Of course, if he had just given up, there would not be what it is today.
Therefore, when Aureos found that he could not save Index no matter by faith or technology, he chose to rely on the power of vampires to save Index. He believed the rhetoric of the church, and felt that Index was being dragged down by her complete memory ability.
So based on this wrong information, he figured out a set of solutions in a whimsical way
The human brain has a limit, so if you memorize everything, your brain capacity will not be enough, and you will be overwhelmed... But vampires don't seem to have such troubles at all, they have an infinite lifespan, no matter how much memory they store, There is no loss of self-will.
Well, let's not say whether he has gone the wrong way, but as far as this theory is concerned, it is true that this is the truth.
So, in order to find a vampire, Oreos set his sights on Qiusha, the goddess of the goddess with the ability of "Vampire Killer". And because Jishen Qiusha was snatched and imprisoned by Misawa School, he also entered Misawa School and controlled it in his own hands.
Until today, the dream was shattered by Xia Ran who suddenly came to the door.
If he was just not well informed and did this simply to save Index, he would have been forgiven, but after being told by Xia Ran that he had been deceived, everything was a conspiracy by the church, It has now been debunked.
Index also got rid of the crisis of erasing her memory once a year and was able to live happily... After being told this, Oreos refused to believe it, and could not accept it no matter what he said. .
He is no longer acting to save Index, but more for his own selfishness.
After language persuasion failed, Xia Ran decisively chose physical persuasion to ensure that although Oreos would not delete his account directly, at least he would not appear in the city again.
looked back, the magician who felt that he had accomplished another meaningful thing today, raised his eyes to the shrine girl who came out behind him, waved his hand and thanked: "Thank you for leading the way, today I'm really bothering you."
"...don't thank you."
Jishen Qiusha's expression was as cold as before, and her eyes lacked change. She felt just like Takitsubo Rikou, always seeming to be drowsy, she glanced at the person in front of her, and after a while Just replied.
"By the way, now that you are free, you can go wherever you want..."
looked at the girl's delicate face that lacked expression changes, and Xia Ran thought about it for a while. Although she felt that this matter should be taken for granted, she was worried that she would not react at all, so she kindly reminded her.
"Oh."
Jishen Qiusha replied indifferently: "I have nowhere to go."
"That's better than staying here?"
"I told that person before that he would help me remove the ability of a blood-sucking killer, so I will stay here." The witch glanced at him before saying, "And there is an enchantment here. , I can't just go out, or I might attract vampires, so I have to live here until this problem is solved."
But now everything has changed.
She just showed the way for the person in front of her, so the entire Misawa School was completely disintegrated within half an hour.
Whether it is the original science and religion, or the alchemist who came to control everything, it is now the past tense of the turkey... So she doesn't know what she should do now, think about it for a moment If so, it seems that even eating will be a problem in the future?
Thinking of this, the way the witch looked at the person in front of her also changed. Should you let him be responsible?
"No, I just saw you wandering around outside Misawa School, so I asked you for directions and came here!" The magician frowned slightly, why did the girl say something different? What you see is completely two different things.
There is no restriction that she can't go out casually, she obviously just wants to go out, she goes out, and she goes shopping casually.
“…”
“…”
The scene suddenly became a little quieter.
Miko's eyes wandered for a moment, as if she was thinking about something.
"Because of self-defeating." After a while, she said so with an incomprehensible expression, her tone seemed rather reluctant, as if she didn't really want to explain this matter, she said it. The words are also incomprehensible.
"That's it?" the magician asked.
"That's it."
"Forget it, let's not talk about what your self-abuse is all about, but why are you looking at me like this, what do you want with this expectant look?" Xia Ran twitched the corners of his mouth, he I think this girl is a little difficult to communicate with.
Sure enough, a person who is so straightforward and understandable, who can speak and communicate well, is already a rare type?
"Stingy." The Miko thought for a while and said so.
“…”
“…”
"Actually, it's a very simple matter to solve your blood-sucking killer ability. It depends on whether you want to cure the symptoms or the root..." Xia Ran pondered for a while, and said calmly, despite the blood-sucking The killer's ability is subtle and tasteless.
However, due to hamster disease and collection addiction, he didn't mind helping Jishen Qiusha, and by the way, he added another collection to his collection list.
"I want to cure the root cause." Jishen Qiusha thought for a while and said without any hesitation.
"This... won't you first listen to me about the difference between the two, and then make a choice?" Xia Ran sighed, although this was indeed what he wanted to see, but the other party thought If you don't want to make a decision directly, is it because your heart is too big?
"It's not necessary, my purpose at the beginning was to remove this ability, so I came here." The witch's eyes were still emotionless, she said very quietly, her voice sounded very Natural tone.
"Alright..."
The magician knows this too, nodding his head and no longer struggling.
"The root cause is to fundamentally remove the ability of your blood-sucking killer. It does not block your ability by making mobile enchantment props similar to the mobile church, nor does it seal your ability through some magic props. It's me who took your ability directly."
"Understand? It doesn't matter whether it is physical, genetic, or rooted in the depths of the soul, no matter what the nature of this ability is, I will directly take it away, it will never belong to you in the future, from will not reappear at the source..."
Jishen Qiusha seemed to be a little impatient. She directly nodded to interrupt the magician's words and said, "Well, I understand, then can you take it away as soon as possible?"
I really don’t miss it at all.
Xia Ran choked for a while, he thought back for a while, and confirmed that it seemed that this girl really thought like this, the ability of blood-sucking killer was not a gift from heaven to her, it was just a disaster.
"Perhaps you really want to get rid of it as soon as possible, but I'm not used to owe other people's things. Since I took yours, I have to give you a little compensation..." The magician thought for a while, then Say, "By the way, what do you want?"
"Eh... can it be anything?" The witch was stunned for a moment, and then asked with her eyes shining.
I probably didn’t think that things I didn’t want could be exchanged for useful things.
"Sorry, not everything is fine, I still can't prepare an absolutely unlimited wish..." The magician made a ruthless statement.
"Oh, can you teach me magic then?"
Jishen Qiusha nodded, as if she didn't care about this at all, and directly asked her what she thought.
"Do you want to learn magic?"
Xia Ran just remembered that, completely different from San Wu's appearance, Jishen Qiusha is actually a girl with a little radio wave, dreaming of becoming a magician... It seems that she is carrying a police baton with her. and insisted that it was her wand.
"Yes, can you?" Jishen Qiusha nodded calmly.
Xia Ran thought for a moment, and felt that this was completely fine. Although she had only taught one student strictly, but look at how good the other party is now!
Well, it seems that Miss Ouyang has little to do with his teaching? After all, it is simply stocking, and there is not much time to teach by words and deeds... But this was directly ignored by him, and he didn't teach much, and he was already so good...
Isn't more able to prove how superb his teaching level is?
"This... OK!" He directly reached out and patted the witch on the shoulder, and said with an old-fashioned expression: "I have to say that you are lucky. It's the best at teaching others, so make sure you can become a magician of whatever profession you want!"
Jishen Qiusha tilted her head, automatically filtered other information, and caught what she cares most about: "Do magicians still have professions?"
"Of course, the name of a magician is just a general term. There are also big differences according to the knowledge and magical abilities mastered by practice. Some are good at rune magic, and some are good at physical melee combat, not only long-range. The type that pushes u pushes u pushes u.”
The magician explained noncommittally: "It's like the ability person in Academy City, in fact, there are different types of fire, control electricity, vector manipulation, etc. The ability person is just a general term for this group, Not all."
"By the way, what kind of magician do you want to be?" He squinted at the witch in front of him curiously.
"It's fine." Jishen Qiusha's answer was very casual, she didn't pick at all, as long as she could become a magician.
"That's not good, if you don't have a goal, how can you become an excellent magician?" Xia Ran was dissatisfied with her new student's attitude towards learning, "Forget it, then I'll give it to you. You set a growth stage goal, first increase the blood to forty..."
The witch blinked her eyes indifferently, always feeling that the goal of "adding blood to forty first" at this stage is not too reliable.
Is this also the growth goal of the magician?
hesitated for a while, even with her casual and quiet personality, Jishen Qiusha subconsciously wanted to fight for it, so she thought hard and said: "That...that, I...I want to be that or something... …”
Well, she suddenly found that she didn't know anything about magicians at all, she only knew a general term, and she couldn't win if she wanted to.
But she didn't intend to just give up, but simply looked at the other party and asked, "Well, can you be good at melee combat..."
"Yes, there's nothing wrong with being a knight." Xia Ran was a little surprised, but she couldn't tell that this girl still had a heart for melee combat.
"...Also able to be good at long-distance coercion." Himeshen Ayusha didn't care about the magician's interruption, and simply finished his thoughts. That's right, why do you have to choose and choose, can you not have all of them?
"... This is a bit difficult. Human energy and time are very limited. Unless you are particularly gifted, it is difficult to master both physical arts and long-range attack magic. Of course, you can change the way, for example Replaced with weapons in terms of ranged attacks."
Xia Ran looked at Jishen Qiusha, "Well, speaking of it, the witch's use of bows and arrows is also a very classic setting..."
"I'm not actually a witch." The girl said indifferently, "As you said, I can be a magic knight in the future, right?"
"That's really a pity, isn't it better to be a witch than to be a silver knight?" Xia Ran couldn't help but sighed, what a good witch, why the other party couldn't understand.
"Silver Knight?" Jishen Qiusha nodded again and again, like a chicken pecking at rice, "This is fine, then I'll be a silver knight..."
"Don't, don't, I just said casually, it's too unlucky to be a silver knight, now is not the era of double bows in the king's city!" Wearing a treasure chest and pinching a coin or something in front of you."
“?”
The witch tilted her head, apparently not understanding what this has to do with being a silver knight.
"Jingle Bell".
Just at this moment, a monotonous cell phone rang. Xia Ran took out her cell phone and glanced at it. It was an unfamiliar number and had no impression.
I guess it's some kind of junk advertising... He pinched it off, put the phone back in his pocket, then looked directly at the witch in front of him, cleared his throat, and was about to continue to teach others when the bell rang again rang.
or the same number from before?
"Hey, who is it? I won't buy anything, please don't call me again!"
"...I...I'm Kanzaki." The opposite was shocked by his aura, and after a while, he stammered and said.
"Kanzaki...Which Kanzaki?" The magician said casually, although he had already reacted, this did not prevent him from habitually launching mental attacks.
"...Kanzaki Kaori." The girl opposite the "Saint" was silent for a while. Does this person know a lot of Kanzaki?
"Oh, remember, how do you have my phone number?"
"...Didn't you force us to exchange this before? Could it be that you didn't even make a note?" Being hit by such irritating topics one after another, the voice on the other side finally brought a hint of anger.
"...cough, don't pay attention to the details, what did you want to say when you called?" The magician coughed awkwardly.
took a deep breath and seemed to want to spar with him, but he knew that this was not the time, so he spoke very fast and said in a low voice: "Recently, a big event has happened on our side, on the magic side. , I'm not completely sure yet, but Academy City is no longer safe... You'd better get out of there as soon as possible, I hope you can find Index and take her with you..."
"Is that so... important?" Xia Ran asked.
"It's very important, I've only heard some news..."
"Well, I'm sure you won't be joking about this kind of thing, I'll leave the city right away, and promise to bring Index with me." He nodded to the phone with a serious look. .
Kanzaki Kaori breathed a sigh of relief, and after a few more words, she hung up.
"Are you leaving Academy City now?" Jishen Qiusha looked at the magician quietly and asked, she heard everything the other party said just now.
"No, I'm just talking... If she doesn't say that, she will definitely be worried and will continue to pester her. This is a white lie to avoid trouble." Xia Ran replied calmly. Just kidding, how could he possibly leave.
However, Kanzaki Kaori will inform himself that he did not expect to leak this information.
Although there are some reasons why the other party doesn't know the specifics at all, he still appreciates it.
The next second, the monotonous bell rang again, the magician raised his eyebrows, and found that the caller ID actually read "Bilibili".
"Hello? Is that Misaka?" He pressed the switch on.
“…”
“…”
"...please...help me..."
After being silent for a long time, a tired and helpless voice came from the other side of the phone, fearful, traumatized, and scarred.
