1286 A young girl in her 100s coughs
Just like the word Neet that Levi is curious about. ∈◆ent, education-or-training’, the abbreviation refers to those young people who do not study in school, do not work, do not study in training institutions, and stay at home all day without doing anything. Levi has no research on sociology, but because he is an English teacher, he naturally must understand and master these emerging words. According to his understanding, the word Neet should have gradually entered everyone's vision from a report from the British ruling Labor Party in 1999, and then became popular throughout the world. The establishment of Fantasy Village was more than 500 years old.
It happened before, and according to Kaguya and others, the earth where Fantasy Village is located seems to be a parallel world with two sides of the mirror. Most of the situation in that world is very similar to this earth. In addition to existences like Academic Islands and religious magicians, the composition of normal human society can be said to be exactly the same, and the historical process is generally very similar. In this way, the word Neet is located in the earth where Fantasy Village is located, which is an emerging word that was only produced in the twenty-first century. Why did it appear in the fantasy village that was established more than 500 years ago and is isolated from the outside world with two barriers?
"Fantasy Village is indeed isolated from the outside world because of the existence of the two great barriers, but after all, more than 500 years have passed since its establishment. And as more and more lives that are not recognized by humans from outside have moved to the fantasy village, the area of the fantasy village has been expanded several times since its establishment. And the only ones that maintain the barrier are Yakumo-Sui and the Bori-Woman of each generation. Well, the barriers will gradually become thinner, and the result is that things outside occasionally fall into the fantasy village, and humans may even be lost to the fantasy village."
When talking about Yakumo and the Witch of Bori, Alice looked at Levi and asked him with his eyes whether he knew these two names. After all, since Levi heard Kaguya and Suzunze introduce Fantasy Country, it should inevitably be heard the names of these two people who are most important to Fantasy Country. After seeing Levi nodding, Alice continued to talk. Apart from the topics other than dolls and magic, it is rare to see Alice you say so much in one breath. This is also thanks to Levi being trapped by the barrier outside this forest, so he had to do it.
She lived here for more than half a year. Although more than half a year is not long for a magic envoy with almost infinite life. But as far as Levi knows, Alice has been practicing magic and becoming a magic envoy for nearly a hundred years or even less than a hundred years. So according to Levi's estimate, perhaps this magic envoy who looks like a sixteen-year-old girl did not keep the loli alive for hundreds of years like Yiwen. She is probably only about one hundred years old at most, and may even be less than one hundred years old.
For Alice, who is probably only about one hundred years old, half a year is not long or short. It is not an "old monster" like Kaguya who may be thousands of years old. A hundred years account for five thousandths of her life. If we further consider that Alice is a seclusion who has no other hobbies besides making dolls and studying magic, and lives alone in the forest, the time she communicates with others in this century may not be as much as Levi's living in her home for more than half a year. So Levi and Alice have become almost everything friends in just half a year, which is not a very incredible thing. Even if a girl named Alice Margot Royd is a loner who is unwilling to interact with others in the eyes of others.
"Oh, that's right. I remembered it when I heard you say this. Suzusen said that she went to the world to buy things or sell medicine every once in a while, and she would find that there were more people there. Also... Is there a store called Kagurado? Kaguya said that many of her games and comics were bought from there, and the owner of the store specially collected things that fell from the outside world to the fantasy countryside for sale."
"That's right, the shops opened by Rinnosuke Morikino sell some strange things that have fallen into Fantasy Village outside. Just like the hand you often take out and watch... the mobile phone. We don't know what it is and how to use it, so we have never bought it before. The people on the Yongyuanting, Red Devils and Monster Mountain will visit there from time to time. There are more and more humans in the world. I remember when I first went to Shikoya to perform a doll show, there were only five or six children there, and the last time I went there, there were already dozens of them."
Not to mention the previous one, about the student source of the only school in Fantasy Township that Alice mentioned later, Levi thinks that it is probably just that humans have naturally reproduced for decades and have more children. However, Levi knew that Alice only cared about dolls and magic, and had a concept of things between men and women, but never thought about them there, so naturally she would not mention it actively, so as not to mention it easily, and she was shy and liked to make trouble for the girl to get angry.
When Alice loses her temper, she likes to pout and blush and ignore people. This is much better than Eve who always chases others with weapons. Moreover, Alice, who is blushing and deliberately stern, is also very cute. She can't even see it enough when she calls Levi. But it's not a good thing to make girls angry. How can she deliberately provoke others just because she thinks that she looks very beautiful? Right.
"So that's it, because things from outside often fall into the fantasy countryside, and from time to time, people from outside will also get lost into the fantasy countryside. So although there is common sense of isolating Boli barriers, because of those things and those people, your fantasy countryside has not been unchanged for hundreds of years?"
"I don't know what happened too early..."
Alice seemed to be deliberately reminding the man sitting opposite her that he was still a young girl who was only 100 years old. How could he know what happened more than 500 years ago? Of course, this is impossible.
"But if you want to change Fantasy Country, I think compared with those outside things and humans, it is indeed the monsters or other races that moved to Fantasy Country later."
Alice could understand this, Levi could understand. The items that fell into the Fantasy Country are only finished products produced and processed on the factory assembly line. No matter how high the monsters without this knowledge are, they cannot be restored into theorems and formulas. And by chance one or two humans who were lost to the Fantasy Country, it is even more unworthy of attention.
