572. Today's meal at the Shimazaki family——【Alta?r? Shimazaki】Is there anything wrong?
"No, you are thinking too much. I haven't thought about it that deeply."
Xingji quickly waved his hand and backed away.
"...Please give me back my admiration."
"Ahem, but I can actually understand what you said. Isn't it just that after completing one small goal, you can't find the next small goal temporarily?"
"No, no, no, Geese, you are the only one who can call [saving the world] a small goal." Illya broke into a cold sweat.
"Illya, don't interrupt. I'm educating young people who are at a low point, so don't pay attention to the details~
Ahem, the goal in life is not something you can find just by looking for it, but when you notice it, you have already started working hard for it!
Moreover, the goal of life may sound lofty, but in the final analysis it is just something you want to do, so whether it is an interest, a hobby, or a small happiness, as long as you can kill time and indulge in it, even if it is eating
Drinking water can also become a goal in life..."
"No, Lord Xingke, please stop. We are not discussing the issue of life goals now."
"Um... I'm sorry, it's just that this problem has troubled me for a long time, so I'm a little concerned about it."
Since Xing Ke itself uses the word "a long time", it means that the measurement unit of "thousands of years" cannot be calculated.
"It's your life anyway. Even if you sit in the library reading books, eating snacks, drinking tea and rolling around every day, it's still your life. Isn't it enough to live a comfortable life?"
"Um... Mr. Xingke, are you a superpower?" Meteora, who had long since evolved into a nerd, sweated.
"What are you talking about? I am a magician." Mr. Magician, who had already begun to refine his prophecies, smiled.
"Well, as Mr. Xingke said, just live comfortably and don't need to think too much.
So before I decide on my next small goal, I will be a librarian for the time being."
Meteora thought for a while, then gave up thinking and made a temporary decision.
"What about Altair? Why are you still taking care of the Garden of Death now?"
"Hmph, let it be. Although my job after the establishment of [Rainbow Bridge] was completed, it has always been tasks similar to [First Responder] and [Investigator]. Although I did not appear many times, they were all very special.
A situation that I don’t belong to.
For example, when Ilia was there, I was the only one who could maintain my uniqueness and travel between parallel worlds...
But it was precisely because I was relied on by others and did not become the demon king who destroyed the world and was feared by everyone that she was able to let go of her heart and be proud of my birth.
Therefore, within a period of time, I will also serve as the [Silver Gatekeeper] of the Rainbow Bridge and take on some tasks that belong to me, just to pass the time."
"Haha, you are not candid either... To put it bluntly, you just want to be thanked by many people and make Kossuna proud of you, right? What else can you say? Well, okay, I won't say it anymore."
It's best not to expose Tsundere's truth in front of her, unless you are as durable as Xingke.
"Ahem, let's get back to the topic. Actually, after saying so much, we found one thing in common. Whether it was Altair who had nowhere to go from the beginning, or Meteora who originally had his own home, after experiencing multiple worlds
After a long journey, even if my wish came true and I have nothing to do for the time being, I still chose to stay on the big ship of the Macrorealm Ark. How many new people do you think will have similar ideas to you from now on?"
"Oh, a population explosion?"
"Yes, no matter whether we are willing or not, as long as Hongjie Ark remains an organization and does not prohibit members and their families from staying and having children, the population explosion will not be far away. It is roughly estimated that the population will only take about a thousand years.
Growth will reach a point where it becomes difficult to manage..."
"I see. As expected of an old man, he has already thought about things a thousand years from now." Altair, who was born less than a hundred years ago, was a little disdainful.
"Since it is now clear that I am the only one who can take charge of the Root Vortex, and I don't know if I can find someone to take over in the future, so of course I have to look at this place from my own perspective.
Among the dozen of us founders, there is no one who particularly likes to raise large flocks of lambs, and if after a thousand years, this place develops into that kind of——
【Holy land outside the boundary, the place where you ascend】
[The center of all worlds, the upper class nobles]
[Everyone wants to get involved and realize their ambitions as a platform]
If there is a plot like this... what do you think?"
"Will there be a separation of forces and a struggle among the original nine factions?" Meteora thought thoughtfully.
"You're not going to say that there will be another [Nine Powers Tournament] surrounding the ownership of the right to use the Rainbow Bridge, right?" Altair smiled coldly.
"Maybe there will be a young man with black hair and black eyes, one of the three Yu families who was born in the humble lower world. He got the inheritance badge of [the original hidden tenth person? Super magician? Moment of the Star] from the lower world, and practiced forbidden skills.
Cursing magic, step by step embarked on a journey against the heavens, suddenly emerged as a new force, participated in the [Nine Powers Tournament] in a low-key manner, slapped the other nine seed players in the face, pretended to be cool all the way, pretended to be a pig to eat the tiger, reunified the Hongjie Ark, and got married
…”
"That's enough! That's enough! You were really poisoned when I didn't know it. Especially you, Illya, how much did you see without telling me... Forget it, you can just like it."
Xingke suddenly realized that although they who spoke these words were severely poisoned, they who could understand them in seconds were also terminally ill.
"Anyway, that's what it means. I saw it when I just came back today. The current [Garden of Death] is quite good. It's not silent, but it's not noisy either. It looks like a mysterious institution far away from the world.
However, if it continues like this, sooner or later it will form a complete village, town, city with a large population and people from different worlds, and a complete governance, economic, military, and legal system, right?
Thinking about this gives me a headache. Once the number of individuals increases, the number of troublesome people will increase exponentially. Anyway, I don’t want there to be too many people here, what about you?”
"One vote in favor, I also hate a large number of people gathering together." Altair came to the answer directly without thinking too much.
It's natural to think about it. When she and Kossuna agreed to stay in this empty world, wasn't it probably because they couldn't adapt to the collective human society?
Chapter completed!
