444 When Leaving (6000 Words in One)

came back.

After closing the door and returning to this familiar mansion, looking at the familiar environment in front of her and the familiar smell in the air, Kuonji Yuju suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of peace of mind. Then she walked to the center of the living room and leaned against the huge He sat down on the pillar, rested his head on the pillar, bent his knees, and slowly closed his eyes.

The living room is very clean because she cleans it every day. Although she accidentally traveled to other time and space, time does not seem to have left an impact here. The wooden floor is still so spotless.

She likes to take naps and will spare a few hours to sleep every day. However, she does not like to sleep on the bed during naps. She usually sits on the floor of the living room and reads halfway through the book, and then falls asleep leaning against the pillar without knowing it. past.

Aoko once said that she was a pathological romantic, and told her many times that sleeping like this would cause some damage to her body. Yuzu just laughed it off and had no intention of correcting it. As time went by, Aoko no longer wanted to mentioned.

At first glance, Yuzu is indeed a very special girl. Compared to Aoko, who is more realistic and obsessed with her parents' relics, she is a romantic and literary girl who is only immersed in the past. But in fact, she is not that kind of girl. Child, under the shell of extremely high self-esteem, she actually hides a passion even greater than Aoko's.

However, as a witch, she has innate responsibilities and missions, so she must bury this passion deep in her heart, otherwise she will one day harm others and herself, just like her mother.

Of course, my mother had no regrets. She left this world with a smile and satisfaction. My father never regretted his union with his mother. In the last few days of his life, he always told himself about the experience of meeting and knowing his mother. , his eyes were full of tenderness and love until the moment he closed his eyes.

Perhaps in the eyes of others, the union with the witch is bound to lead to tragedy, and this is indeed the case. His mother died after giving birth to him, and his father did not live past the age of thirty and left in a hurry. Both of them originally had a love for each other. There is a great future, but... did the two of them choose to be together despite knowing that such a result would come? Perhaps for the father and mother, this is the happiest thing, because this relationship is far better than theirs. life is more important.

Therefore, living in this mansion that was the only thing left to her by her parents, she could feel the full love of those two people. Whenever she fell asleep leaning against the pillar, she seemed to be able to see her long-lost parents in her dreams. At that moment, she felt extremely at ease, as if all the worries of being a witch no longer existed.

Perhaps, only at such a time can she release the passion that has been sealed up all this time.

It was supposed to be like this...

But why can't I sleep now?

She closed her eyes but couldn't fall asleep, which made Yuzhu's thoughts start to wander. She first thought of Aoko.

Qingzi...shouldn't come back again, right?

Although Qingzi never said this, the two have been together for more than a year and know each other's habits and personalities very well. If Chengzi is her confidant in magic, then Qingzi is her confidant in life. She didn't say a word to herself when she left. She knew that this was Aoko's way of saying goodbye.

Maybe Qingzi would come back to stay for a few days occasionally and talk to her, but the cohabitation life like before would probably never happen again.

Without Qingzi, Chengzi will not come knocking again. After all, her goal is always just Qingzi.

As a result, she was still alone.

Of course, she has long been used to such loneliness.

Then she thought about this strange trip. The few days she lived in Fuyuki were an unprecedented experience for her. If it were before, she would never have imagined that she would live with so many people. , living together and fighting together, it is very lively and very annoying. It should be absolutely impossible to adapt to, but... it is not annoying.

What will happen to those people after that?

Rin's talent is outstanding. If she were not a witch and had not accepted her mother's relics, her achievements in magic might not be as good as Rin's. She also said that she would go to the Clock Tower to study and she should become a very good magician in the future. Teacher.

By the way, Rin seems to be only six or seven years old at this time, right? Wei Na wasn't even born yet... Unfortunately, I don't have the habit of traveling, so I couldn't confirm it. It would probably be meaningless even if I confirmed it.

Everyone has his own life, and from now on, I'm afraid there will be no intersection.

And Tang Hao...it seems that he didn't even say thank you to him?

Some complex emotions grew in the girl's heart, including nostalgia, reluctance, and regret. Even she herself didn't know what kind of feelings they were. But the only thing she could confirm was that her heart seemed to have not changed from 2004. The 2018 Fuyuki completely returned, and that incredible experience finally left an indelible mark on her heart.

But, it's over.

Yes, my adventure is over.

So, sleep and when you wake up, everything will start again.

Even if you are the only one next.

Shaking away all the thoughts in her heart, the girl closed her eyes again, and sleep gradually came...

boom!

At this moment, there was a loud noise and the door was violently pushed open, waking up the girl who was about to fall asleep.

Youzhu opened her eyes immediately, with anger and murderous intent that could not be hidden in her calm eyes. This mansion was the only relic left to her by her parents, and no one could violate it... anyone!

The girl stood up quickly and immediately entered combat mode.

However, when she looked forward...

"you"

"I'm here to deliver something." Tang Hao strode to Youzhu, stopped half a meter away, as if talking to himself, "Yes, I have no reason to take you away from here. There is no place that is more suitable for you than this mansion, but even so, I still hope that you can have the space to choose."

Tang Hao grabbed Youzhu's hand and stuffed something into her palm. It was a mobile phone, a card, and a piece of paper.

"The phone has been turned on, and I've written down how to use it on paper. I won't force you. It's your own choice whether to use it or not." After saying that, Tang Hao left without looking back and closed the door. The door.

Youzhu stared blankly until he came to his senses after a long time and lowered his head.

"Permission to join the two-dimensional chat room group..."

…

The group member invitation card can be used on many people, including Accelerator, Shokuhou Misaki, even Tohsaka Rin and Illya, as well as the worlds of some group members, such as the world of "Fairy Tail". Suitable group members can make up for the shortcomings of the current lack of backbone combat power in the chat room.

Also, the promises made to Reimu and Aleister also need to be fulfilled.

At first, Tang Hao did not consider Youzhu. First of all, her personality and living habits were not suitable for this kind of gathering.

However, how many people in today’s chat rooms are really suitable for group gatherings?

The most typical one is Gu Mingdijue. She didn't even attend the last banquet, but does this mean she is disqualified as a member of the group? She will still stand up when needed, and now she is also helping Akatsuki Homura grow in the world of magical girls.

Although Youzhu is not yet a member of the chat room, she has been tested. At least in this Holy Grail War, she is undoubtedly a trustworthy teammate.

And the most important thing is

It's my own stuff and I decide how to use it. Is there any problem?

This specific invitation card was earned by him and Yu Ji. Although there was help from other people, the right of ownership was always in his hands. Yu Ji didn't need it, so who to give it to would completely depend on his subjective intention. , if he doesn’t even have this bit of freedom, how can he be an administrator?

As for whether Youzhu accepts it or not, that also depends on her own decision.

No matter what the final result is, Tang Hao will not regret his choice at this moment.

There is no righteousness here, and it has nothing to do with interests. It's just that he wants to do this.

Of course, if Youzhu really joins the chat room, there may be some problems in the timeline, because Youzhu was from eleven years ago. Once she enters the chat room, the time of this world will be frozen at this time. Or is it fixed in You Zhu’s timeline?

Maybe both.

After entering the root, Tang Hao already knew that the so-called time does not advance in a straight line, but an infinite Möbius strip. Any point in time can be the beginning or the end, but ordinary people cannot recognize it. Knowing this, it is even more impossible to cross the timeline.

However, as far as the huge river of time is concerned, there is no difference in the past, present or future.

"Leave it to her?"

"Um."

Back in Fuyuki, Patchouli just asked lightly, and said no more after getting Tang Hao's answer. For this kind of matter, she would only give her own suggestions, but would not interfere with Tang Hao's decision. .

And Yu Ji didn't care even more. In order to save her, Tang Hao took the initiative to jump into the source and even accompany her to death. With such feelings, what does a mere invitation card mean?

"Now that the matter here has been settled, it's time for us to leave." Patchouli closed the book and then looked at Souji Okita, "I'm ready to go back. Do you want to follow me to Gensokyo or back to the Seat of Heroes? "

"Fantasyland? That's your world, Pachi, right?"

"Well, if I could, I'd like you to..."

"Of course, I want to go! I want to go!" Ms. Okita nodded without hesitation, her face full of excitement. "I haven't seen other worlds yet. How can I miss such an experience? What's more, it's Pa." The world where Qi lives.”

Okita Souji was a servant summoned by Patchouli. He was not bound by the Holy Grail and basically had complete freedom. The two hit it off and decided to go to Gensokyo.

"What about Ilia?" Then Tang Hao looked at little Ilia.

"Eh! Me?" Little Illya couldn't help but hesitate. Because it is a parallel world, her coming here does not consume the shuttle value, so the current shuttle value is still full. Of course, she has some thoughts about the different world. Full of interest, but, "Miyou is still waiting for me. If I don't go back, she will be worried..."

Tang Hao could see that she wanted to go, and immediately smiled and said, "But it doesn't matter for just a day or two. Anyway, you can go back at any time, just treat it as a trip. After you go back, you can still stay here Wouldn’t it be great to tell Miyu what you saw and heard there, and maybe even bring her over to play with you in the future?”

"Uh... Then, okay." Little Ilia hesitated for a while, and was finally persuaded by Tang Hao. However, the most excited person during this period was not her, but Ruby, "A world with a great source. , I really want to see it soon! Shall we leave now?"

It seems to be a little impatient.

"No rush." ​​Tang Hao smiled and shook his head. His eyes turned and fell on Tohsaka Rin.

"By the way, I still have to say goodbye to Sister Rin." Little Illya said.

"What are you saying goodbye? I've already said what I need to say anyway." Tohsaka Rin didn't seem to care, but the expression between her eyebrows betrayed her true thoughts. After all, she is a tsundere, even if she doesn't She wouldn't even say it.

In fact, she felt somewhat lonely at this moment.

Tang Hao, Patchouli and Yu Ji were not from this world. Even Da Ilia, who was in the same world as her, had already decided to take her to Gensokyo for a physical examination. They were about to be separated, and in the end, she was the only one left. Next, I always feel...like I've been abandoned.

But on the surface, she still looked elegant and generous, trying hard not to show her melancholy.

"What are your plans in the future?" Tang Hao asked.

"I...should probably go to the Clock Tower to study abroad." Tohsaka Rin thought for a while and replied. This was something she had decided long ago. As soon as the Holy Grail War ended, she would go to the Clock Tower in England to see the wider world of magic. As for reaching the root through the Holy Grail War, this had never been her wish.

"The Clock Tower... Then I suggest you don't go." Tang Hao had a Chinese-style expression of disgust.

"Huh?" Tohsaka Rin was stunned.

"With all due respect, of the three major magic associations, the Clock Tower is the most shameful. Although there is an old man with gems in charge, he doesn't care about things. Even if he does, none of the apprentices he accepts will end up well. They will either be tricked or they will fall into the trap. Collapse... It’s not what I’m saying. Although the old man Gem is the most powerful among the magicians, his ability to teach his disciples is better than that of a pig!" Tang Hao despised it so much, as if the clock tower and gems in the Holy Land of Magic were Weng is like a plague.

Ruby was unhappy after hearing this and wanted to save face for her master, but was slapped away by Tang Hao.

In fact, what he said was not wrong. At least Gemstone Weng had many apprentices, and there were many talented ones among them. However, except for Tohsaka Nagato, none of them were fooled. Tohsaka Nagato was not spoiled because the old man didn't care much about him and just led him into the world of magic. Otherwise, he might not even be able to save this single seedling.

But even so, there are still countless magicians who want to join the disciples of Gemstone Weng, because they are strong. In their opinion, the reason why Gemstone Weng's apprentices are ruined is not that the teacher is not good, but that the apprentice is too bad, but It would definitely be fine if I replaced myself.

This self-righteous idea is really in line with the thinking of Clock Tower.

Yes, Tang Hao looked down on the abilities of Gemstone Weng's disciples, but he still highly recognized the bad old man's abilities. As for the clock tower... he was a disgrace to the Magic Association.

This is really not his intention to belittle, this is the plot.

It is obviously known as the most powerful magic association in the world, but it ended up being defeated three times in a row in the plot of FGO.

For the first time, Goetia burned the human realm and destroyed the human realm. The clock tower didn't even ring a single bell, and just rushed to the streets. The second time, in London, the foggy city of the Fourth Singularity, a Bean Dad and a Jack directly destroyed the Clock Tower, which made me laugh to death. The third time, which is the second part of FGO, the Clock Tower wanted to dismantle Chaldea, and looked down upon Chaldea with a condescending look. Just when everyone thought that the plot of the second part would be to fight against the Clock Tower. At this time, the result is that the alien gods are causing trouble, the earth has become a piece of paper, and the imaginary enemy has not even popped out a fart from the clock tower, and once again attacks the streets.

Three times, the group was destroyed three times in a row!

When Goetia was causing trouble, Atlas Academy did not rush into the street, and even appeared at the Sixth Singularity. However, their ideas were different. Although they gave Chaldea help, they did not confront Goetia head-on. In any case, they survived the human destruction.

When the Alien God was causing trouble, although the earth was wiped out, the Wandering Sea still survived and gave great help to Fujimaru Ritsuka and his party, and even rebuilt the human rescue organization there.

Humanity was destroyed once and frozen once. Atlas Academy and Wandering Sea of ​​the three major magic associations were very strong and very low-key. However, the most high-profile Clock Tower was destroyed three times in a row. It is extremely embarrassing. It belongs to none other than it!

Of course, such accusations may be unfair to Clock Tower. In terms of paper strength and influence, it may still be the strongest among the three major magic associations, but... no matter how strong your paper data is, your team will be destroyed. The team is destroyed. The higher you blow, the more painful it will be when you fall. Unless FGO releases a third part and waits for the old man Gem to take action, your Clock Tower will always be nailed to Xingyue's Pillar of Shame.

"So, don't go to the Clock Tower. You won't learn anything there." Tang Hao persuaded Tohsaka Rin earnestly, "If you don't believe me, ask Illya. If you were in her world, you would have gone to the Clock Tower for training. Time, has it become more embarrassing since it came out?"

Tohsaka Rin immediately looked at little Illya.

"This... uh... that..." Little Illya stammered, looking embarrassed. Although at the critical moment, Sister Lin is still your Sister Lin, but many times, it is really embarrassing.

Tohsaka Rin suddenly twitched, and little Illya didn't say anything, but looking at her expression, she might be really embarrassed.

Damn it, do you want to go to this clock tower?

But if she didn't go to the Clock Tower, where could she go?

Among the three major magic associations, she only has some connections in the Clock Tower. As for Atlas Academy and Wandering Sea, even if she wants to go, others may not accept her.

"Actually, I suggest you go to Fantasyland to take a look first."

"Is it Gensokyo again?"

Upon hearing this, not only Tohsaka Rin, but also Patchouli and Yu Ji couldn't help but roll their eyes. Is this Gensokyo a shelter for needy people? If not, why would Tang Hao turn that way no matter who he was? Or do you regard Gensokyo as your own backyard?

"I...I don't have a reason to go there, do I?" Tohsaka Rin frowned. In fact, she was a little moved when she heard Tang Hao's invitation, even if it was just to see him, but she was not the one chatting. There is no reason for the group members in the room to go there. Instead, they are just like a fluke. This feeling is not good.

"No, you have a reason."

"Um?"

"Actually, there is something I haven't had the chance to tell you. Now the time has come..." Tang Hao looked serious, pointed at Tosaka Rin, and said seriously, "Rin, have you forgotten your long-lost biological sister? ?"

"Eh?!"

Tohsaka Rin was stunned and stared at Tang Hao in disbelief, "You...what you said?"

"Sakura, who was adopted by your father into the Matou family during the Fourth Holy Grail War, is your biological sister. Don't you want to see her?"

"Do you even know about this? Ah, that's right. After all, you participated in the Holy Grail War, but... Sakura has..." Tohsaka Rin lowered his eyes, and his mood suddenly became gloomy. In that war, , the Matou family was brutally wiped out, and of course, Sakura couldn't still be alive.

"No, she's not dead yet, and she's in Gensokyo."

"What did you say?!"

Looking at Tohsaka Rin's shocked expression, Tang Hao smiled and pointed to the side, "If you don't believe me, you can ask Teacher Pa. Although I am a very honest person, I know that you always think that I am a liar, even if you don't believe me, you can ask Mr. Pa. Believe me, Teacher Pa will never lie to others."

"Ahem...can you please stop calling me Teacher Pa? It feels weird." Paqiuli coughed a few times, a little embarrassed, but when Tohsaka Rin cast a questioning look, she still replied seriously, "He You're right, Sakura is indeed in Gensokyo, and she lives with me. Ten years ago, it was Tang Hao who brought her out of this world."

"So...is this what happened? No wonder, even her body can't be found..."

Tohsaka Rin suddenly felt relieved, and then heaved a sigh of relief.

Tang Hao felt very hurt. He was obviously telling the truth. Why did this guy look so shocked and disbelieving, but when Patchouli said it, she seemed to understand everything... Is this naked discrimination? !

Alas, forget it.

"So do you want to go now?"

"……go!"

Tohsaka Rin finally nodded. After ten years of absence, what is happening to her sister who lives in another world now?

Tohsaka Rin's heart was full of expectations. Of course, she would never have imagined that ten years later, her six-year-old sister would still be a six-year-old loli.

Just like that girl named Yakumo Murasaki, seventeen years ago she was...

Ah, stop talking!

"Let's go, let's go!"

With a wave of Tang Hao's hand, the shuttle function was activated, and everyone headed directly to Gensokyo.

Before leaving, Tang Hao took another look at the world. The green light on his body dissipated as he left, but he knew that this would not be the end. Perhaps he would return here again in the near future. Of course, it could also be another time and space.
