042. Is the disease called love?
This is what happened just after returning to Hohenheim from the cemetery.
After working with Aleister to arrange Cedric, who was still awake after being hit by Star, to the school hospital, Star was ready to send Aleister to deal with the man who drank the compound potion and became crazy.
He looked like a pervert among the professors, and then he ran away like this.
Although he was eventually discovered in the original work, Xing Ke felt that it was better to stay safe.
But at this moment, Aleister spoke before Xing Mo:
"Geece, do you know the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor this semester, Alastor Moody, the man known as Mad-Eye?"
Unexpectedly, Aleister thought of this so quickly.
"Oh? Tell me how you found out. I can tell you in advance that since the beginning of school this year, the real Crazy Eyes has been imprisoned in a confinement box."
Aleister seemed to understand everything and sighed exaggeratedly:
"Oh... is it true? From what happened just now, it is obvious that Voldemort always knew that Harry would get the Goblet of Fire. He could have tricked the Goblet of Fire. If Harry didn't do what he said at the beginning,
The name thrown into the Goblet of Fire is real, the person who can approach the Goblet of Fire without telling everyone, the person who can ensure that Harry, who has no strength advantage, will win, the person who can sneak into Hohenheim Academy without being suspected - not this time
Is it obvious?"
Aleister had a rare long conversation about the details, and also let Xingke know that the plot of this year's Goblet of Fire was actually similar to what it seemed in the book.
But in the so-called original work, so many people were deceived until the last moment.
"Oh! It's amazing. I was just about to ask you to arrest someone. But I didn't expect you have already guessed it. You have a great talent for detectives."
I have to say, this really feels like a suspenseful story.
"No, it's just that Professor Snape has been looking for the criminal who stole his compound potion soup recently, which caused the matter to me, and I also read Mr. Conan Doyle's "The Sherlock Holmes" when I was young.
It really can’t be compared to you, who is like a god, it’s like you knew everything from the beginning, Geese.”
"Oh!~ No, but this is a coincidence. I have also read Mr. Conan's books. I thought that there were very few wizards who liked ordinary people's books, but I didn't expect that. You have a very good interest."
It was an accident that Aleister could read novels even when he was a child.
"There is nothing wrong with this. Human beings, whether they are wizards or scientists, wisdom is always the most common treasure shared by human beings." Xingji heard this sentence, which was very similar to what the future representative of scientific research, Aleister, said.
, I was actually very touched, but why does it always seem like Aleister is destroying his own character setting and forcibly starting an awkward conversation.
Are you this kind of character? And I have had an uneasy premonition from just now.
"You are really good at saying some good things. If it weren't for your unconcealable malice, I would have thought you were the seed of a saint... So, why are you dragging me into chatting and delaying the conversation so awkwardly?
At this level, everyone knows you are just looking for trouble, like trying to hold me back. Let me tell you, at your current level, even ten of you are not enough for me to fight."
Although he was a little paranoid, Xingji couldn't find an answer other than Aleister's deliberate delay.
"...If you see through it, there is nothing you can do. I am not suitable for the role of delaying time. But my goal has actually been achieved. Someone has always wanted to see you and paid some benefits, asking me to fight at the appropriate time.
Give her a message, just to delay it for a while."
Along with Aleister's declaration of victory, rapid footsteps, like female footsteps, were heard from behind the star.
Xingke seemed to understand the source of his uneasiness.
"...You have a really bad character. Just wait for me."
The footsteps stopped behind Xing Ke, accompanied by the sound of rapid breathing caused by sprinting. The speculation in his heart made Xing Ke's somewhat stiff neck unwilling to turn back to confirm.
"She's right behind you. I have to say that this communication note prototyped by you is really useful. The messages sent are secret, fast and safe. I won't disturb you anymore. Goodbye, Jis, goodbye, Ain
Ms. Zbelen.”
After saying that, Aleister turned slightly sideways around Xingke and the two of them left this "place of right and wrong"?
Sighing, Xingke finally did not run away, but turned around to confirm the current appearance of Miss Illya, whom he had not seen for more than two years.
I don’t know why. It is said that European and American people should grow very fast, but Illya’s figure, which was taller than Xingke two years ago, is still taller now despite having two years more growth time than Xingke.
It's just a head taller than Xingke.
There hasn't been much change in her appearance, but now that she wears a pair of glasses, her temperament has become more elegant. Her originally split long hair has also been tied into a short section, making it easier to move around.
Looking at Illya's gloomy expression in front of him, which seemed to be a mixture of anger, surprise, sadness, uneasiness, murderous intent... Xingji decided to speak first:
"(????)?? Hi, Illya, it's been a while, how are you?"
However, the one who replied to Xingke's friendly opening words was Illya's blow to the head, which was very painful.
"Don't think about being cute. The last time I saw you was more than two years ago..."
Because of the problem of light and angle, Ilya seemed to suppress the star moment at this time.
"Ah, that's what happened, haha...hug..."
And even the apology was interrupted.
"I'm very angry. Suddenly, really suddenly, he disappeared suddenly without any warning. He didn't leave any message for me. And except for me, almost no one noticed that there was no one around.
As a person, you can't get an answer even if you ask the professor, and you can't find any clues anywhere. It's as if you disappeared from this world, as if you never existed in the first place, as if you were a person I imagined.
. Then I was worried about you, but I was more sad. A person who took it for granted suddenly disappeared without a word one day. Can you understand that feeling? During that time, I felt like
I feel that this world is getting further and further away from me. My friends don’t understand why I am sad. Their unexplained comfort makes me feel the gap between me and the world. Jis, you are like a person from another world.
The same, but I regard you as part of my world. You are elusive and omnipotent. You have no common sense in strange places, but you are very knowledgeable in unimportant places. Your head is always on the same page.
A person sitting there quietly, an important existence that only belongs to me. But you are also very irritating! Especially your perspective as if God is observing the world, who do you think you are!
You are a short man, an egomaniac, a bastard, a delusional patient, a brat who will never grow up, a salted fish on the beach, a dull pig head, a selfish dictator, a dead-headed tyrant..."
What followed was a very Ilia-style long confession that seemed to wrap up all the grievances accumulated in the past two years, but it was followed by tears that had also been accumulated for two years, like heavy raindrops and tears.
A confession that completely panicked Xingke...
"Wuwu...but...but you can't...just disappear. I really...I really hope to see you still sitting there every day, silent but always there...I hope you
You are always by my side...Idiot...Ugh..."
Next, Ilia, who was obviously a head taller than Xingke, threw herself on Xingke's shoulder and started crying.
Even after living for so many years, human emotions are still unclear in the end. Xing Mo couldn't help but sigh. He couldn't understand what those things that had been filling his heart just now were.
"Illya...I'm sorry..."
"Fool……"
"hug……"
"...Idiot...Idiot...Idiot...Idiot..."
"Ah...ah...I know, I know...I will tell you if anything happens in the future. Whether I do good things or bad things, I will take you with me if I want to do something. I will always be by your side.
Yes, whether it is hundreds of years or thousands of years, I will always be by your side...Is this okay?"
"Fool……"
"Okay, I will stay with you until you get tired of me. Don't worry, I have plenty of time."
In the late night of Hohenheim, the light of the silver moon shines on the two people who met again after two years. The moonlight tonight is just right.
Did you finally compromise?
Xingke didn't know if this was the right thing to do.
It’s not that there have never been partners of the opposite sex in the stars, but there has never been a companionship that was not broken by time.
So I don’t know when it started, but Xingji has always been alone.
But now Xingji has compromised.
Xingke now sincerely hopes that this world, which is different from the original world, with magic and miracles, can break the curse of time.
Chapter completed!
