Chapter 035 [Inverted V] 35

"Let's start our exploration from this building."

Fujimaru Ritsuka carefully placed the talisman into the pocket of her association uniform, then took out the rune stone that the Chaldeans had prepared for her in advance from another pocket, held it in her hand, and stepped into the dark building in front of her.

——You absolutely cannot go underground alone.

It's not because he can't act independently away from his Servants, but because it's based on the framework prepared to rebuild the world - Fujimaru Ritsuka is the savior, and he is also a part of the "human" in this framework of rebuilding the world.

——People cannot go up to the sky (heaven), nor can they go deep into the underground (the underworld). Because people are just people.

“‘Heaven’, ‘Earth’, ‘Man’ – most people are used to this order, but in fact, ‘Man’ is in the middle of ‘Heaven’ and ‘Earth’ and is the absolute core of the three.”

It was a certain day in the library in the past - when Chaldea had already begun to drift, but there was still no sign of rebuilding the world.

On such a day, Fujimaru Ritsuka, Kirshtalia and Lancermello accidentally gathered in the library.

The first person to bring up the long-abandoned tuning magic was Kirshtalia. He used to represent the starry sky in the tuning magic, and he had completed the corresponding transformation of the tuning magic long before Olgamari became the director of Chaldea.

"However, 'Heaven' and 'Earth' were tuned synchronously at the beginning of 2012." Kirshtalia smiled and pulled the two books she picked up vertically apart in front of Fujimaru Ritsuka, "Only when 'Heaven' and 'Earth' are separated can they become the real Heaven and Earth."

Just like in Greek and Eastern mythology, there are giants who hold up the sky and separate the sky from the earth - the sky does not fall to the ground because it is supported by giants; and with the decline of mystery, the giants and gods disappeared from the face of the earth, and humans held up the sky in a human way.

"…But whether it is a giant or a human, in terms of the result, they can all be considered as 'humans'." Kirshtalia took the new book and placed it between the two books that were previously regarded as heaven and earth. "It is precisely because 'humans' separated 'heaven' and 'earth' that only after 'humans' appeared can 'heaven' and 'earth' coexist."

"But, if you look at it from another angle, the failure of tuning is actually a good thing." Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and took out a book about constellation myths from the books Kirshtalia brought. He glanced at Lansemello who was still worried about the problems left by the restraint force sitting opposite him. "Assuming that the tuning magic has not failed, as long as I leave Chaldea, one of you will not be able to stay in the control room."

"This is a waste of labor, Kirshtalia-senpai."

"That's true." Kirshtalia laughed, her eyes falling on the reference documents that Lansermero had placed aside. "Lord, haven't you found a suitable solution yet? Although I have realized that the task of rebuilding the world cannot be simple, but..."

"What were you two talking about?" Lansemero finally took his eyes off his work tablet and looked up at the two people sitting opposite him. "Excuse me, I was busy discussing the feasibility of the plan proposed by Achiman. Ah, Fujimaru, why are you looking at me like that all of a sudden?"

"King Gilgamesh once said that the world of the Age of Gods is like a painting..." Fujimaru Ritsuka subconsciously looked at the pile of books that Kirshtalia had not rearranged, and made a sound that was enough to be protested by the library's permanent members as loud noise, "Ah!!! Deputy Director!!!"

"When 'heaven', 'earth' and 'man' are put together, isn't that a complete world!?"

The framework for Chaldea to rebuild the world originated from a failed delusion of Animusphia - the original proponent of that delusion was Lancermello; but the person who turned this delusion from a delusion into a framework for rebuilding the world was Fujimaru Ritsuka, who was once chosen to be a "human".

"...Theoretically, it is indeed feasible, but..." Lansemello looked at Kirshtalia and then at Fujimaru Ritsuka, "The tuning magic has already failed - if it had not failed in the past, this plan would not only be feasible in theory, but could actually become a reality."

"And... yes, that's right. If you want to do this - Fujimaru Ritsuka, are you ready to realize that you will never be able to return to ordinary life again?"

“…Huh?”

Fujimaru Ritsuka has witnessed the anger of many people in the past - Servants, ordinary living people, and even the good-tempered head of the medical department who rarely gets angry.

However, when it comes to Lancer Mello, Fujimaru Ritsuka doesn't think he has ever seen the Chaldean deputy director get angry - even when Lancer Mello used the astronomy department's great magic in front of the review team, Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't think the deputy director was angry at that time.

"Your feelings are surprisingly accurate." Olgamari, who had spent the longest time with Animusphia's Lancermello, replied to Fujimaru Ritsuka, "How should I put it... Well, my father thinks that Lord is more human than Dr. Roman - but from my personal feelings..."

"The Lord is the less human one - all of the Lord's emotions and reactions feel like routine to me."

"It was like it was some procedure she had to follow."

The current situation is that Fujimaru Ritsuka is facing the real anger from Lancermello.

"Fujimaru, how many times do I have to tell you before you understand?" Lansermello covered the tablet and looked calmly into Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes. "Although you were the one who made the final choice, this world is not your responsibility - yes, fundamentally, this world has come to this point..."

"Just because I don't want to die."

"I deliberately put the choice in your hands - because I know that as long as it's you, all other future possibilities will be eliminated."

That was before the drifting started.

In front of the Wall of Humanity, Neo Chaldea, which has been cooperating with Phoenix Chaldea since the Sixth Newsbelt, finally discovered the anomaly. Phoenix Chaldea, which had been pretending to be innocent and using the identity of Chaldea in the parallel world, showed its fangs to Neo Chaldea as the last newsbelt.

——I am a soul made up of the corpses of tens of thousands of paradise fairies, born as a human being on the surface of the planet.

Lancer-Mero stood on the deck of the Triton, calmly telling Pan-Human History about the past of this anomaly zone.

The Inland Sea of ​​​​Hotspots is about to fall into death - the last paradise fairy knew this future from the beginning.

There is no life that can be born there anymore. From a long time ago, all that was produced there were stillborn babies. From that moment on, all the fantasy species could no longer produce new life, but tens of thousands of corpses.

The magic power was clearly sufficient, and the mystery of the Inner Sea of ​​Stars had not yet begun to fade away - but there were indeed no new Phantasmas appearing there.

However, once the inner sea of ​​the planet completely collapses... the primates on the surface of the planet will die because of the mysterious resurrection, but the surface of the planet is no longer suitable for the mysterious existence - so after that, the entire planet will completely die.

In the end, although it is a planet, it will explode like a star and disappear into the dust in the universe. This world has lost its future and is judged to have become a noise belt.

"I am the same as Ash, the Queen Morgan of the Fairy Kingdom." Lansermello did not look at the Lord of Pan-Human History, but instead cast his eyes on the Wall of Human Reason. "In fact, when I was born, my mission as the Grand Master of Magic and the Fairy of Paradise was destined."

——We must ensure the survival of this planet and the survival of primate civilization at all costs, even if it means sacrificing our own lives.

But——

Morgan gave up the mission of saving the world and chose to reign over Britain as the queen; while Lancermello gave up the simplest way to save the world and chose a path that would allow humans, who were tied to her, to survive - Morgan created the fairy kingdom; while Lancermello created a future that allowed them to survive.

"Besides that, there is nothing in this world that I care about—" Lansemello retracted his gaze and explained the reason why the two Chaldeans traveled together, "But in order to create the world I need, it doesn't matter if I stand together with Gaia and Alaya to fight against the enemy."

“This is a development that almost all branches would not allow.”

"But I'll do whatever it takes to build it."

In front of the Wall of Humanity, Lancermello looked at the Nautilus on the other side and asked with a smile:

"How is my world, Chaldea? It's a friendly world, right? It's a gentle world, right?"

"That's good, if you think so."

"Welcome to my world, Chaldea, the Chaldea of ​​pan-human history."

Afterwards, Lancermello handed over the right to choose the future to his own Fujimaru Ritsuka——

"Fujimaru, should we let pan-human history survive, or should we keep living? Or -"

"Become a complete parallel world?"

"I don't choose any of them." Fujimaru Ritsuka clenched his fists, his nails digging into his palms, "There must be a way for everyone to survive--"

"In that case, we can provide you with a direction."

The voice of restraint sounded on the Triton.

After that, Phoenix Chaldea was driven out of the entire Type-Moon world by the restraining force and began to wander in the sea of ​​stars.

But in the end, in the library that day, it was Fujimaru Ritsuka who convinced the other two people - Kirshtalia also opposed Fujimaru Ritsuka's proposal like Lancermello. Although their angles were different, the two people who had undergone tuning magic transformation in the past agreed on this matter.

"I have long since given up thinking about returning to the life I had in the past." Fujimaru Ritsuka sighed and answered Lancermello's question with a firm look in her eyes. "Although I know that everyone in Chaldea will definitely have a way to guarantee that I can return to the life I had in the past... But this time, I don't want to forget you."

——I don’t want to forget you like Chaldea forgot Dr. Roman.

The framework for rebuilding the world was completed on that day, and Fujimaru Ritsuka also received the laws that "people" need to abide by from Lancer Mello.

Standing at the door of the building, Ritsuka Fujimaru withdrew his gaze from the elevator going deep underground, and was about to find a safe passage upstairs when he accidentally passed by someone.

"Eh? Have I seen that person before?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka turned his head, but all he saw was a white skirt disappearing around the corner.
