☽
High on the floating island, Shirley, the princess of the Kingdom of Karsus, the descendant of Lance and Namu, and a glorious descendant, was standing silently on the top of the mountain alone, looking at the night and stars in the sky. Looking at the Silver Moon City in the distance, it was like daylight under the 'Sun Well' and the twinkling lights, in a daze.
At this moment, the scenery was undoubtedly beautiful, but she frowned and looked worried, not in the slightest mood to appreciate it.
Because tomorrow is the final...
Today, after the goddess Lucilis was given a bye and successfully advanced to the finals, the heroic mage and the magical girl Illya also successfully defeated the Rekart Empire Ice who went all the way from the selection to the semi-finals. Imelda, the female general of the Dragon Army, successfully advanced to the finals.
Therefore, tomorrow will definitely be a battle between dragons and tigers. After all, both sides are mages, and they can also summon powerful helpers to help in the battle. There is no doubt about it!
but……
However, Shirley knew that tomorrow's battle, for some reason, would be very unfavorable to Karsus, or to one of their players, the goddess Lucilis, so much so that the great magician Jay Sika was already mentally prepared for failure.
But Shirley was not reconciled!
So, after asking a certain troubled little girl for help to no avail, she thought of another way, and that was the main reason why she appeared here at night.
"..."
Shirley sat on the stone without saying a word, and there was no one to talk to, so she just let the night wind blow the surrounding trees and flowers and the short silver hair on her cheeks, and waited silently.
She has a date here tonight, and it involves the outcome of tomorrow's game.
But she didn't know whether that person would come, but no matter whether that person would come or not, she would wait here until late at night, until the morning light came, and until the game was completely over!
The waiting time is always boring and long, but Shirley did not show any impatience at all. She still sat on the stone so quietly and let the moonlight and the 'sunshine' on the top of the huge palace in the distance shine. On her body.
"..."
I don’t know how long it took, until Shirley was almost immersed in this dreamlike night, finally, there was a light footsteps behind her, which made her feel happy. Then he turned his head immediately.
"Wow!"
"It's really high here..."
The person who came and exclaimed as he walked was a little loli with silver hair and red eyes. And if he looked carefully, he could see who it was if it wasn't Ilia, the contestant in tomorrow's finals?
"Na!"
"Miss Shirley."
"Have you been waiting for a long time?"
"correct!"
"You came to see me here tonight. What's the matter?"
After walking to Shirley and taking a deep breath of fresh air, Illya suddenly turned her head and asked curiously.
Because, she was invited here by Irena's message, and she was not very familiar with the Shirley in front of her. She had only met him a few times in the palace, so she knew where the other person knew them. She was just a terrible teacher Annie, so Illya was a little confused. She didn't know why the other party invited her here at this time.
But no matter what happened to the other party, Illya was not worried at all and just arrived on time.
"I……"
Shirley originally wanted to make some pleasantries first, but when she opened her mouth, she didn't know what to say.
"call!"
"Ilia..."
"Is such that!"
"I……"
"Can I ask you something?"
So, after struggling for a long time, Shirley suddenly made up her mind, and suddenly began to tremble and plead, and looked at Ilia hopefully.
"??"
"whats the matter?"
Illya blinked her beautiful red eyes, but she did not agree without hesitation, but planned to listen first and then talk!
"I……"
"I beg you, can you make up for it tomorrow and give up the game!?"
Saying that, perhaps knowing that her request was a bit excessive, Shirley suddenly stood up and knelt down towards Illya.
"!!"
"ah!!"
Seeing this, Illya was of course frightened and took two steps back, looking a little at a loss.
"you!"
"this……"
"But why?"
"Sister Xueli, is your request too sudden?"
"Besides, what does that have to do with you?"
After a while, Ilia, who had barely calmed down, finally came back to her senses. After looking at Shirley who was kneeling in front of her in frustration and making such a very rude request, she thought about it for a while. He asked with a frown.
It is obviously impossible for Illya to agree. You know, she also wants to win and has a reason to win. And the Miss Shirley in front of her is just an acquaintance who has met her a few times, even They were not even considered friends, but the other party suddenly made such a request. How could she casually agree to it?
"I……"
"Is such that……"
"Tomorrow, your opponent, that little girl, is actually our goddess of light!"
Shirley didn't look up because she didn't want to see Illya's troubled and troubled face.
So, after organizing some words in her mind, it took a while before she directly confessed certain things.
"!!"
"goddess?"
"That Lucillis?"
Of course Ilia had heard of the 'Goddess of Light' and so on, and she couldn't help but exclaimed.
And then, she finally understood why the black-haired little girl could directly summon those powerful angels to help in the battle. This was actually what happened?
"Yes!"
Shirley nodded.
"Can!"
"This is wrong!"
The next second, Illya exclaimed.
"If she is really the goddess Lucilis..."
"I shouldn't be the one begging you. Why now, it's you begging me instead?"
Because, as smart as she is, she quickly found a huge loophole in the other party's words, and loudly questioned the other party's language problem that in her opinion made no logical sense at all.
"because……"
"because……"
"The goddess's condition is not good, and Liana and Lana's magic power has been seriously exhausted. That's why I come to beg you!"
"besides!"
"The goddess has decided that for this continent and for the creatures in this world to have more and broader living space, she has decided to sacrifice herself to obtain the magic power for tomorrow's duel, so..."
"so……"
After hesitating for a while, Shirley whimpered, hesitated and slowly told some of the things she knew. She also said that tomorrow the goddess would burn the divinity and try to defeat her in the shortest time. Illya's plan.
"Burning divinity?"
Although she didn't know what divinity was, Illya was still a little scared.
"But……"
"If she is really a goddess, she will definitely win no matter what, right?"
"As for burning divinity?"
After frowning and thinking for a while, Illya still expressed some doubts about what Shirley said. After all, the other party's request was too abrupt, and the reason was a bit far-fetched. She was not willing to believe it, nor did she want to believe it easily.
"..."
"The situation is like this..."
After hesitating for a while, Shirley had no choice but to explain everything she knew, such as the current state of the Goddess of Light, and the fact that the divine domain was attacked by the Azeroth Empire and the divine body was captured, so that the magic power was seriously insufficient and no one had to Do not rely on the two light witches Liana and Lana to supplement and so on.
However, when the divine body is sealed, it is not enough to rely solely on the supplement of the two light witches, especially since the original magic power of Liana and Lana is not very strong, and there is still loss during transformation and absorption. , so that’s what she said just now.
"this……"
"Can I go back and think about it first?"
"I can't decide this matter easily. I always have to discuss it with everyone and the teacher first."
Illya said with some embarrassment and confusion.
However, regardless of whether what Shirley said in front of her was true or false, at this moment, Illya's face was not very happy at first, because they also wanted to win very much, and they didn't necessarily have to do it if they won. Evil things do not necessarily have to be given to the other party.
"Yeah?"
"Feel sorry……"
"I'm causing trouble for you..."
Looking at Illya's tangled and reluctant face, what didn't Shirley understand?
So, she could only stand up with a wry smile, some frustration and staggering.
She knew that the request she just made was indeed a bit presumptuous, and besides, it was still under the circumstances that they were not very familiar with each other?
Before, she went to beg Anne, and Anne said that she needed to discuss this matter with Illya herself, but now, with Illya's reluctance, she really had no choice.
"Sorry to bother you."
"I'm really sorry……."
After saying that, Shirley turned and left lonely.
Actually, just now, when she was staying here alone, she had already thought about such a situation. Now, after seeing that things were almost as she thought, she was depressed and could be considered a little bit calmer. Breathed a sigh of relief.
The matter had come to this, and since her efforts had no effect, she had no choice but to accept the outcome calmly.
"..."
Crossing her arms and watching the other person's leaving figure, Illya just had a sullen face, frowned, and didn't speak for a long time, until Arturia, Jeanne d'Arc, and Medusa walked out of the woods.
It turned out that Illya was prepared. She was afraid that some people would do some insidious things, just like what Heizi once said. Therefore, before coming over, she summoned three people and Let them hide in the woods.
"well……"
"Meaningless ideals will sooner or later collapse in the face of reality, and mystery will eclipse in the face of higher mystery!"
Sighing, while taking steps towards Illya, Arturia also began to add quietly:
"Even the gods who protect this world should be the same as me at this time. Although they have the responsibility and belief to protect the home and country, they will also feel that they are powerless when they find that their power is not enough, right?"
"Ilia!"
"Tomorrow's battle may be an unjust battle..."
"If that goes against my oath as a knight, if that's the case, please allow me to refuse to fight for you!"
After walking up to Illya, Arturia solemnly stretched out her hand and pressed Illya's shoulder with a straight face, and said seriously.
This is not the Holy Grail War, and the Command Seal in Illya's hand cannot command her. Therefore, if she finds out that things are really like that tomorrow, then she will really refuse to fight. That is not a joke!
After all, Artoria already knew very clearly about that competition, and she also knew better that Illya had no reason to win.
"But!"
Illya was about to say something, but Joan of Arc, who came forward, pressed her other shoulder with her hand wearing a silver arm armor.
"Nothing but!"
"Ilia..."
"In the past, the reason why I chose to become a heroic spirit was simply because I believed that there were people in this world who were worthy of saving and willing to trust us. The reason why I waved this flag was to respond to those many living beings and those who were willing to trust us. trust.”
"And what if..."
"That goddess is really willing to sacrifice herself to save the common people. That is an existence worthy of my admiration. Even if she is a pagan god, even if she is an incompatible existence, even if she is a god from different worlds that have no intersection? "
"In the face of such an existence, please allow me to refuse to wave this flag?"
After interrupting what Ilia wanted to say and finishing what she wanted to say, Joan showed a kind and encouraging smile.
"OK!"
"Why do you think so much?"
"We'll see tomorrow. If you want to call me, just let me know!"
"I don't mind anyway!"
Unlike Jeanne d'Arc and Artoria, Medusa spoke directly indifferently and said that she didn't care who the other party was or what the other party's purpose was. As long as Illya decided to fight, she, Medusa They will rush up and chop off the opponent's head and kick it as a ball!
After all, she has never chopped down a goddess from another world. If possible, she could even turn the opponent to stone, then chop it down and preserve it properly?
"you……"
"never mind!"
"Let's go back and talk about it first!"
Illya didn't know whether she should discuss the matter just now, but she knew that Luvia and Rin would probably not agree?
"Why……"
"It's really nerve-wracking!"
"If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have come."
Before coming, Illya was confidently preparing for tomorrow's game, but now, she was confused. She didn't know if she was going to win the game tomorrow, or just give up?
However, that kind of thing cannot be decided in an instant. After thinking about it, she planned to go back and talk to Rin and the others first, and then think about it carefully at night.
The next day...
In the arena, with the audience's attention and thunderous cheers, the moment the referee announced that the game had officially begun, something extremely surprising happened to everyone:
I don’t know what happened, but in full view of everyone, contestant Illya first elegantly held up her skirt and faced her opponent, the little black-haired girl who was suspended in mid-air and cast a spell with dignity, and the surrounding audience. After they performed a standard ladylike ceremony, they announced on the spot that they would admit defeat and withdraw from the competition.
then……
That conference, which was related to the future destiny of the world of Elusaria, ended with the victory of the little girl from the glorious legion of the Kingdom of Karsus amid the uproar, abuse, and doubts of countless people.
Immediately afterwards, starting from the day after the end of the conference, the winner, the little girl, the little girl who lost the divine body and divine power of the goddess, was now just a little girl named Lucillis, the "Light of Birth". With persistence and supervision, the Azeroth Empire's peaceful integration and transformation of the world of Elusaria has just begun.
From that day on, all empires, kingdoms, and lords in the world of Elusaria will join the Azeroth Empire while continuing to maintain their respective territories and certain autonomy. At the same time, the two worlds will The great racial integration, including the acceptance of the demon tribe on the Red Moon, has officially begun!
And a certain half-demon girl who accidentally said a word caused the world to change drastically, that half-demon Sonia, the new world she hoped for, where all races can live in peace and equality, is finally coming. .
but……
On the second day after the game, something unexpected happened.
For example: a scarred boy with his good friend Hermione attacked their friend together and killed their friend Ron in public?
Of course, that's just what people see.
After the two succeeded, they quickly took away the other party's body, and then quickly summoned the soul healer and repaired the other party's soul.
Then, of course the three of them had a falling out on the spot!
Then, that Ron angrily returned to his magical world, while Hermione stayed behind for some reason. As for a certain worker, that is, the scarred boy with four eyes, Harry, he was still in trouble. Working at the Stormstout Restaurant to pay off his debts.
Of course, none of the above is important. The most important thing is:
Almost at the same time, on the second day after the competition, a certain little girl who was the instigator of the mess disappeared without a trace!
No one knows where she went, not even her students, such as Hermione, Irena, Tohsaka Rin, Tohsaka Sakura, Illya and Luvia, or her friends Misaka Mikoto and Index Si and others knew nothing about it, and no one received any letters or messages.
However, that does not hinder the peaceful transformation of this world and the smooth progress of the great integration process, so whether she is here or not is no longer important.
