On a field full of flowers stands a tall tower that looks like a spear piercing the earth.
The white-haired magician sat in the tower, with flower petals emerging from under him from time to time.
"Oh?"
The magician stared at [YOU DIED] on the screen opposite him, with surprise on his face.
He never thought that there was a third player.
Then the surprise turned into a smile as if he was enjoying some interesting performance.
"This is such an unexpected surprise. Let me see, who are you?"
.......
The intrusion of the virtual AI idol - the magical girl Merry-chan and the Blue Guardian who came from nowhere can only be regarded as a small episode.
"So Director, who is that guy?"
Facing the girl's question, Animusfia shook her head honestly and continued:
"have no idea."
"Hey, is there something the director doesn't know about?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka pouted and muttered.
Animusfia looked helplessly at the girl who was still sitting on his lap and was not ready to move.
"What do you think I am? I'm not God. How can I know everything?"
According to the Christian teachings believed by Joan of Arc and Saint Giorgios, God is the only one who is omniscient and omnipotent.
But even Cthulhu, the higher-dimensional Old One, cannot be omniscient and omnipotent, let alone the gods that humans on earth believe in.
"But the director acted like he knew everything before, didn't he?"
"Then it can only be said that I am knowledgeable and only have superficial understanding. It cannot be said that I am omniscient."
Animusfia continued speaking calmly.
"Socrates once said: 'The only thing I know is that I know nothing.' That's it."
Even if we understand the relationship between chemical molecules and the reactions they can produce with each other, even if we can explain that the entire universe is composed of particles, we can even predict events tens of thousands of light years away.
But humans have never been able to use science to unveil the world.
Everything he does is always speculating on the world through a veil.
Human beings only know that chemical molecules react with each other, but they don't know why.
Human beings only know that electric energy produces magnetism, and magnetic energy produces electricity, but they also don't know why.
After asking "why" to the extreme, no one can answer it.
That is the realm that belongs to the "roots" of the world.
Although human beings understand the world far deeper than most people imagine, it is still only superficial.
"The only thing you know is knowing nothing...? Isn't this sentence itself a paradox? Director."
Fujimaru Ritsuka's focus has never been on the surface.
"That's right..."
Not even Animusfia could refute this.
It's like a man saying he's lying.
If this sentence is true, then he is lying, the lie is [he is lying], and the situation returns to the fact that he is not lying.
If this sentence is false, then [he is lying] itself is a lie, and the situation returns to the fact that he is not lying.
This is the oldest and most intuitive semantic paradox in mankind, the liar paradox.
"There's no point in picking out words like this. You need to understand this sentence more."
"More understanding...Is there a lot that the director doesn't know?"
"Of course."
"But the director knows a lot of things, right?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka was like Sherlock Holmes in the movie and TV series, holding her chin and leaning towards Animusfia's chest.
Then he looked up at Animusfia herself.
Compared to a girl who has just turned eighteen, especially a girl from Japan, Animusfia, as an adult male, is much taller than her.
Even with Fujimaru Ritsuka sitting on his lap, there was still an altitude gap between the two.
"Even if I know a lot, I don't know everything. I only know what I already know."
"ha----."
The girl suddenly became depressed like a deflated rubber ball.
"Do you still want to play such old jokes at this time? Director."
Animusfia asked in confusion:
"Isn't that a bad idea?"
"No, it makes sense. But in the end, I still can't figure out who the guy who came to help me is?"
"Since there are so many unknown things, it doesn't matter if there is one more thing. Maybe some aliens are playing games. In short, it's good that the other party is not an enemy."
Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at Animusfia with questioning eyes.
"Does that really exist?"
"The probability is so high that it will definitely appear. Cthulhu and his family are actually aliens; eh. Cthulhu can even be said to be an existence in the outside world. Maybe the policeman who helped you 'It's a high-dimensional creature similar to Cthulhu."
"If that's the case, why would the other person help me? Come help an ordinary human being on earth."
"Perhaps I have been watching you silently all this time. After seeing you in crisis, I couldn't help but want to step in to help you or something."
After hearing Animusfiya's explanation, Fujimaru Ritsuka curled his lips.
"If you are willing to help me, why don't you just burn down the Human Being? That would be considered helping, right? Just helping to eliminate enemies in the game is nothing..."
"Maybe, watching you save the world step by step is the other person's pleasure."
"That's too funny. I treat other people as characters in the game... but it's more reliable than the kind-hearted high-dimensional creatures who are willing to help me. In the final analysis, it's really Are there people like that?"
Animusfia was silent for a while.
"Maybe."
The girl didn't think deeply, she just relaxed and got off Animusfia's body, stretched her body and turned off the game.
"Huh~~~"
The clock on the wall showed that afternoon had passed and it was evening.
"Then today's game time is almost over."
Animusfia also stood up and stretched her legs, which Fujimaru Ritsuka had been using as a sofa all afternoon.
He looked at the doctor, Roman, who had been silent since just now.
Roman was holding Animusfia's inspection report and looking at it carefully. He raised his head after feeling the gaze of others.
Their eyes met at one point.
"Director, can you please bother me a little bit later?"
Roman looked at the girl next to Animusfia, thought about it, and said.
"Yeah, no problem."
Animusfia nodded calmly.
"Then I have some important things to do, so I'll leave first."
Taking the examination report, Roman left the medical room silently.
"stare--------."
A gaze like a needle pricked Animusfia's body.
"...What's wrong, that look in your eyes."
Animusfia looked helplessly at the red-haired girl beside her.
"I always feel like you, Director, and the doctor are hiding something from me."
"It's just your illusion. Okay, let's go now."
"Really?"
The suspicion in Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes remained unchanged.
"It's up to you. Anyway, I have to leave first."
As she spoke, Animusfia had already arrived at the door of the medical room and walked out.
"Hey! Wait for me! Director!"
Fujimaru Ritsuka quickly followed Animusfia's footsteps and chased after her.
...
"Genghis Khan————, where have you been? Come out quickly!"
As soon as Fujimaru Ritsuka walked out of the medical room, a call came from someone who seemed to be looking for [Genghis Khan].
Animusfia followed the sound and found the source of the call.
It turned out to be the employee who lived across from Animusfia whom we met in the cafeteria at noon today.
"Are you looking for, Genghis Khan?"
Animusfia looked at her suspiciously.
“Hi——————, director of Animusfia?”
Like a frightened little animal, the clerk turned around slowly.
