Thirty-three embarrassing peers
It seemed like a pair of boys and girls who had their own thoughts but were unwilling to tell, or perhaps they just wanted to enjoy this moment of solitude and tranquility. In short, it was a silent scene without even a trace of sound... and such a scene was still continuing.
Or rather than being a tranquility that makes people feel relieved, it is rather a silence that makes people feel embarrassed and dull? But it seems that even the parties involved have begun to have a strange atmosphere. Finally, a voice broke the dullness that has lasted for a long time - with the voice of a girl.
"It's really unlucky to say that. Even though she hadn't planned to leave that city, such a thing happened..." She said this. Although she was quite regretful, she couldn't hear too many regrets in her tone, as if this was no longer a special thing for her.[]
"Well, yes." A voice next to him confirmed it, but it could make people hear the unnatural tone. It was more perfunctory than a response - the voice of a young boy, and... it seemed that this guy was not very good at dealing with the girl next to him.
"It's true, it's like being cursed! There have been such a strange thing in two cities in a row." The girl's voice continued to make such a voice, and her tone began to seem a little bored.
"Yeah, yes..." The boy next to him seemed to want to continue to answer so perfunctorily, but as soon as the sentence was said, he immediately stopped his voice as if something was wrong... But unfortunately, it seemed that his previous words could not escape the ears of the girl next to him.
"Ah?! Do you want to say that this is entirely because I am too unlucky?" The girl next to her made such a dissatisfied voice, which made people feel a little unreasonable - she clearly mentioned the topic of cursed first?
"No, no." The boy next to him immediately made such a denial voice anxiously, but he never said anything else - even the complaints he made about the girl next to him did not appear?
His actions also aroused the doubts of the girl next to him. Of course, it was not that he would feel uncomfortable if he was not criticized for a day, but that the guy next to him had been since a few days ago...
"You guy, seem to be very strange recently?" The girl's voice suddenly asked.
"Ah? Is there any?" The boy made such a puzzled voice, but there was obviously no convincing from the slightly stiff voice.
"Forget it." The girl next to her shook her head and drove such meaningless thoughts out of her head. After all, in her opinion, there is no need to worry about this guy next to her. If there is something strange, then she always feels that her behavior has been a little strange recently?
But this is not a big problem. Perhaps this guy discovered some new shortcomings in him and might have avoided him... The girl thought so and found a notebook that seemed to have some age from her arms, and she started reading it in this seemingly free time.
"Stone of Disaster..." But suddenly, as if she had seen something in the notes, or suddenly woke up, such a strange noun was spoken out from her.
"Ha? Puff..." After such a speech, it immediately attracted the attention of the boy next to him. He was about to respond like this, but he didn't expect that he was drinking milk tea. He poured tea into his respiratory tract and coughed because he was eating and talking at the same time.
"Ahem..." He suddenly felt that he might not be able to live long after continuing to sit with this guy, and he had some inexplicable tendency to drop his IQ? Could this be the legendary halo of mental retardation? He coughed while thinking in disbelief, and his face turned ugly at the same time.
"You guy is really unhygienic." The girl glanced at the guy next to her and frowned. However, this incident did not interrupt her interest in continuing. She continued to say slowly: "I mean, the sudden disaster in that city before did not seem to be a natural disaster, but a result of this kind of thing."
"Ah?" The young man made a puzzled voice, but then he replied suddenly: "Oh, you said this when you came back. It seemed that the guy who belonged to the temple told you?"
"Well, since the person who is responsible for recycling this thing also says that, then it is probably such a thing... After all, if you start recycling such a thing without even knowing the details of it, then how stupid it is." The girl's voice continued to confirm slowly.
"So, do you know this kind of thing?" the boy asked for it naturally.
"No, I don't know." But the other party answered for granted.
"Puff..." Such development made the boy continue to spray out the milk tea he had just drunk - since he didn't know, why should he start such a topic? Bastard!!! He thought in disbelief.
At the same time, it seems that due to this reason, the atmosphere once again fell into a dullness that made the two of them embarrassed...
Please, no matter how nonsensical the topic is, please tell me! Compared to the other person who was reading a book, the boy who was holding a cup of empty milk tea and was empty and didn't know where to put it, he couldn't help but think so.
However, it seemed that he had noticed his prayers, and the girl beside him finally made a sound.
"But although this name is familiar to me, it seems that it is not the same as what I know... or just a word difference becomes a strange thing I don't know." The girl who brought up a pair of glasses and lowered her head to read the book said the topic just now.
"Ah, that's right!" I didn't care about the sudden literary and artistic situation of the friend next to me. After the other party had just spoken the topic, the boy immediately made a pretense of enthusiasm.
"The seed of disaster... In my notes, what is recorded is such a scientific name." The girl continued to say it, and the boy next to her also showed a surprised expression - it seemed that in the other party's notes, in addition to recording the information about alchemy passed down by her master, there are also a large number of interpretations of various strange things.
It can be said that the explanation of that extremely mysterious thing is more detailed than all the books in a city's library?
"Although it is only a difference of one word, it is obvious that the scientific name represents two different things... But the difference of only one word makes me feel familiar with the scientific name, and it makes me doubt the connection between the two." The girl said this, gently took off her eyes. Below the unknown eyes were a pair of water-blue eyes and slender eyelashes.
The boy next to him stared at the guy who suddenly became literary and artistic, and asked her to continue talking without any doubt.
"Seed of disaster - an item of dangerous level s, but this is not something passed down from ancient times. Even if we trace its origin, we should look for it in less than a hundred years." The girl's slender fingers strode on the worn notes in her hand and slowly recited it.
"When it comes to the biggest event in this century, there is no doubt that the attack on a magician named Britella is really not clear about what kind of magic he is good at. What I just know is that this seems to be a strange guy who knows a little bit of everything."
"It's probably similar to the black magicians mentioned now, but the level and danger are far beyond that! It is said that in order to attack this guy, the temple and various countries spent a lot of manpower and material resources. Fortunately, they finally eliminated it, which was expected to be eliminated..."
"But there seemed to be less than ten strong men who came back alive after defeating him in the end, and they were all praised as "braves". If those guys could still survive until now, they would probably be over 100 years old and would be too old to act, right?" the girl continued.
"Hey? There are less than ten left? Just to deal with one person?" The boy made a surprised voice.
"There are probably all the cannon fodders, and only the strongest people stayed. Speaking of which, aren't those guys who wrote history very good at half-fake and half-real misleading future generations in such places?" The girl waved her hand and said it indifferently.
"But none of these matters. What's important is that, the moment before the magician was killed, he used his last power to split the magic weapon into a large number of pieces and then sprinkled it on every corner of the world. After leaving a word 'My relics will fulfill your wish', he died after leaving an inexplicable last word."
"oh……"
"Next, when someone got one of the pieces, the last words of the magician were proven - they can indeed realize their wishes, any wishes!" The girl said this, and her tone began to become unclear.
"Hey? Realize your wish?!" Even the boy next to him was startled.
"Ah... it's OK, so when the news spread, a treasure hunting craze was launched that made everyone crazy. Whether it was the strong or the weak, the son of the swordsman, as strong as the weak as the ordinary grocery store owner, was just to find the relics of such a magician who could reach the sky in one step."
"However, the person who released the news still had the most important thing in the second half of the sentence - that is, it is true that the holder's wish will be fulfilled, but this wish appears in another distorted form! For example, if a person who made a wish to obtain ten thousand gold coins, he would immediately receive the corresponding gold coins the next day, but the gold coins were the pension given to him by the government because of his brother who died on the front line." The girl said slowly.
"How could this happen..." the boy said in disbelief.
"Yes, this is the last treasure left by the magician in the form of revenge - the seeds of the fruit of desire to relieve the ugly with tragedy and disasters as nutrients." The girl closed the notes in her hand and continued murmured: "In the end, this is called... a seed of disasters!"
"..." The young man who heard this speech suddenly became silent.
"Seed of disaster - an item of danger degree s, according to speculation, probably a fragment of something, has no contribution to alchemy, cannot be used as a raw material for anything, thankless thing. This is the description of this thing left by my ancestors in this note. If nothing unexpected happens, this will end here... If I hadn't encountered such a thing before," the girl continued to say it.
"That's the case?" The boy couldn't help but make a puzzled voice.
"That is something that responds to human wishes and then realizes them. In other words, what can resonate with them is the deepest part of human heart... However, what after the wish is realized? Is this seed of disaster disappearing directly to complete the task, or is it like a growing tree that finally bears even more amazing fruits?"
"..." Such words silenced the boy.
"So what I infer is that the stone of disaster is the fruit of the final growth of the seed of disaster, which is the final finished product." The girl continued to say slowly, and at the same time, such speculation also made the young man next to her stunned.
“That is,…”
"That's right, whether it is the previous alchemy creature incident or the previous city fall, it is probably the seeds of disaster there that respond to the actions taken by some people's strong desires, and in the end it naturally condensed the stone of disaster."
"Perhaps the previous alchemy biological incident was due to the idea that the alchemist wanted to live with young people, such as 'living forever', and the subsequent destruction of the city was undoubtedly a reaction from some strong desire to extremes." The girl continued.
"Is this actually the case?" As if thinking of something bad, the boy suddenly became silent.
"If this makes sense," the girl murmured, then raised her head: "It can be seen that sometimes it is not a good thing to have too strong wishes...what do you think?"
"Eh? Is that right?" The boy next to him made such a voice.
"Well..." The girl also nodded and replied, but then there was no text. The atmosphere, which had just become warm as the boy wished, suddenly fell into an awkward silence again.
"So what's the conclusion?" He asked for a while.
Hearing such words, the girl next to her was stunned for a moment, and then turned around with a look of a foolish expression: "Ha? What else can you make a conclusion? Such things are useless to me at all, but they will only cause trouble. It can be said that they are troublesome things that should be avoided if you notice them!"
"This...so." The boy pulled the corner of his mouth, thinking that there would be something amazing about such a conclusion like "You can't let it continue!", but sure enough, it was strange for this guy to have such fearless thoughts, and more so the idea of avoiding trouble was more reasonable.
Although this guy's unlucky luck seemed to him that even if he could avoid trouble, there would not be too many consequences...
"That's right." The girl nodded naturally.
“…”
“…”
Next, there was another embarrassing silence time, as if due to the end of the previous conversation, for these two people, it was said that they had no last topic at this time - the awkward boy could clearly sense that they had touched the soft skin of each other's arms because they were too close.
This embarrassing feeling made him want to move to the side, but unfortunately, next to him was a middle-aged uncle who almost fell on his shoulder. The snore caused by sleeping made him unable to help but feel whether this guy could wake up in time if he read his number later.
Although there were other empty seats next to him, if he really left the other person and sat down, what would the other person think? Maybe he wouldn't say it out loud, but he might be very shocked. The boy was thinking randomly, and he moved his eyes and just met the girl next to him.
But the one who happened to meet was the other party's curious and impolite look at him. At the same time, the other party also noticed his gaze.
"Hmm? What's wrong?" the girl asked in confusion.
"No, nothing." The young man said naively - it was still super embarrassing!
At this moment, he was even wondering if he wanted to get rid of the embarrassing thoughts. If there was the seed of disaster mentioned just now, would it resonate with him? However, he immediately thought that if this wish was realized, it would probably be the result of the guy next to him suddenly dying, so he was so scared that he forced away such thoughts.
What rescued the young man in the end was not the seed of disaster left by a magician, but just the voice of the ticket seller on the platform ahead...
"No. 249, Rorona. Please prepare for No. 250 Allen." It was a station platform for selling and collecting booked tickets to the next city, and what they were going to do at this time was the latter.
"Well, then I'll go... Let's see you in the car later?" the girl murmured, lifted up the suitcase next to the seat, and walked towards the ticket-collecting platform.
"Ah, um." The boy answered.
But the girl suddenly remembered something and turned around: "Speaking of it, you haven't taken this kind of transportation, right? You won't get lost, right?" She said it with concern.
The girl's uneasy words made him blush, but before he could give the other party a reassuring answer, the other party had already pulled his luggage away - it seemed that even if he answered "there was a question", it would not affect her actions.
However, despite this, the boy finally breathed a sigh of relief and got rid of the previous embarrassment - at this time, only him and Rorona were left here, and the others were gone.
As for why this happens, we have to start a day ago...
