"You're … Mr. Tang Hao?"
"Yes, that's right. I remember telling you my name."
"Aren't you a traveler? Why haven't you left after what happened yesterday? Is there anything else in this city that's worth your time?"
"You're still here, aren't you?"
Tang Hao shrugged. Yuji Sakai seemed a little timid at his greeting. He probably still couldn't accept the fact that he was a Torch, and he didn't know what to do with anyone related to this. Shana, on the other hand, was much calmer. It was just that her tone seemed to have a hint of provocation … Seiji wasn't sure if it was an illusion.
Tang Hao didn't think too much about it. After all, the Mist Warriors were a bunch of strange fellows. The reason why the Mist Warriors signed a contract with the Red Demon King wasn't because they wanted to protect the balance of the world or protect the safety of humans. It was purely because they wanted to take revenge for the death of their friends and family.
Although some ancient Mist Warriors had lived for too long and gradually forgot about their hatred, they began to walk the path of a Tuner. They were mainly responsible for correcting and adjusting abnormal phenomena caused by the loss of the power of existence. These Mist Warriors were relatively indifferent, and they also seemed like companions of justice. Other than that, most Mist Warriors were hot-tempered, eccentric, and warmongering. Among them, other than being a little arrogant, Shana was actually quite good.
At least when Yuji Sakai pestered her with questions, she would explain. If it was someone hot-tempered, they probably wouldn't even bother to talk to a mere Torch.
So, Tang Hao didn't really care about Shana's attitude. He glanced past the two of them and looked at Hirai … This girl had also been in the Sealed Extinction yesterday, and her power of existence had been absorbed. After Tang Hao activated his Astral Vision, he could see the small flame in her body. Without a doubt, the real Hirai had already disappeared, and what was left was only the residue of Hirai.
As a substitute torch, their presence was very faint. Unless someone reminded them, ordinary people would not even notice their existence. When their flames burned out, they would be completely forgotten.
Tang Hao had just watched the anime last night, so he knew that the real Hirai was a very lively and talkative girl. She was the more energetic type, but at this moment, not only did she lose her sense of existence, she was silent, her eyes were dull, and she could barely make a sound as she walked down the street.
"Hirai-san! Hirai-san! "
Yuji Sakai greeted her loudly, but there was no response. It wasn't until he ran up and stood in front of her that the girl finally raised her head and greeted him in a voice as soft as a mosquito's.
"Is this … the torch?"
Seeing that Hirai was completely different from yesterday, Yuji Sakai was in a daze. He immediately turned to Shana and asked, "Is there any way to help her recover?"
"That's impossible. She's just a remnant. The person you knew died a long time ago. There's no such thing as reviving someone who's dead."
"But … I'm also a torch. I'm still here, and I can communicate with people normally. I can even speak loudly. Then, Hirai-san …"
"Because you're Mystique, the relic hidden in your body increased your power of existence, but she's just a torch. With her current remnant, I don't think she can last until tomorrow."
"This … this is too much!"
"Too much? She's just a torch, not a person. "
"You … You don't know anything!" Yuji Sakai glared at her.
"What did you say?" Shana frowned and glared back at him.
"Even if she became a torch, at least Hirai-san once existed. I don't believe that she can disappear so easily!"
"You're the one who doesn't know anything. Her power of existence has long been consumed, and she has become a phenomenon that never existed before … Hey!"
Yuji Sakai ignored her and quickly caught up with the girl. He held her hand and started running. "Hirai-san, let's go faster. We're going to be late."
"This stupid thing!" Shana stomped her feet in anger. She had explained so much, but the stupid torch still didn't understand. "She's just doing meaningless things."
"I don't think so."
"Huh?"
Shana immediately turned her head and saw a faint smile on Tang Hao's face.
"Although she has indeed disappeared, she only disappeared from the karmic line. Even if there's no longer any trace of her in this world, at least she once lived, and at least a few of us remember her. She definitely didn't disappear from the beginning, so it's only natural that Yuji Sakai wants to summon her back."
"But that's impossible. People who disappear won't come back. I've seen this happen too many times, so no matter what he does, it's useless."
"I didn't say that he would succeed. I know that the girl is already dead, and this world doesn't have the power to bring people back from the dead. But I don't think what he's doing is meaningless." Tang Hao turned around and looked at the girl beside him. "Humans aren't machines that follow efficiency. Just because there's no result, they won't do it. Although it's efficient, it's not emotional. That girl is Yuji Sakai's important friend. Even if he knows it's impossible, he still wants to save his friend … If you can't understand this, then I can only say that the Mist Warriors don't understand people. "
Shana was stunned, and then anger appeared on her face. "Urusai! You're as stupid as that thing! "
As she spoke, she turned around and walked in another direction with a disdainful gait.
He made her angry.
Tang Hao took out his phone and saw that his karma points with Shana had increased to two.
So angering someone could increase his karma points too?
Tang Hao blinked and shouted at Shana's back, "Flat-chested monster!"
"Urusai, Urusai, Urusai!"
Flame Hair and Eyes Crusader: Karma points + 1.
Okay, it became three. At this rate, it's going to break a hundred soon.
Although that was what Tang Hao was thinking, he still obediently kept his mouth shut and continued to provoke Shana. No one could guarantee that his karma points would directly break a hundred, but he believed that Shana's anger would definitely break a hundred first, and then with a Red Lotus slash, he would most likely lose his life.
For the sake of his life, Tang Hao stopped trying to anger Shana. He immediately followed Yuji Sakai and ran forward.
"Wait, what did he call me?" Half a minute later, Shana suddenly came back to her senses and stopped.
"Flat-chested monster," Alastor reminded.
"Flat-chested monster?"
"According to human knowledge, it refers to women with small breasts. After you signed the contract, your body stopped growing, so it's a bit flat …"
"Urusai!" Shana was furious. "That bastard, how dare he call me flat … flat chested monster, where is he? I'm going to kill him!! "
…
On the rooftop of the school.
"As expected, almost no one noticed her."
Tang Hao bribed the security guard with his harmless smile and followed Yuji Sakai to the school. On the way, he observed Hirai's relationship with the people around her. Unfortunately, as Shana said, her presence was getting weaker and weaker. Except for Yuji Sakai, no one could notice her.
"Just like Roman …" Tang Hao sighed. Although Hirai was just a passerby, it was still a bit sad that something like this happened in front of him.
"So, why did you mention my name at a time like this?" Roman's confused voice came from the live chat channel.
"Why … Go and play FGO and you'll know."
“FGO？ Oh, it's a game in our world, but can I play it? "
"You should be able to. The chatroom is connected to the internet anyway. If you really don't know how to do it, you can ask Kaguya to help you. She's very good at it."
"Oh, okay, I'll play it then."
"Is FGO fun? Big brother. "
"Ilya? It's fun, very fun. " Tang Hao recommended enthusiastically. "Especially in the training book every Monday. As long as you have a beautiful purple-haired girl, you can let the golden glitter fly seven times a day. It'll definitely make you feel good!"
"I suddenly have a question …" Kaguya said. "FGO doesn't have a history of chatrooms. If Roman met Yuji while he was playing, and he played until Chapter 2.3, what do you think will happen?"
"Uh …" Tang Hao was startled. This question was so deep that he was stumped.
Kaguya continued, "If Yuji doesn't have any thoughts after reading the story of Chapter 2.3, then it'll be the Doujinshi forcing the game to its death. Otherwise, it'll be the Chaldea Album, so …"
"So don't play FGO. Roman, I recommend you to play Tomorrow's Ark." Tang Hao changed his words.
Roman: "…"
Roman: "The more you say, the more I want to play. Miss Kaguya, can I trouble you?"
Kaguya: "Of course, no problem."
Tang Hao: "Kaguya, you …"
"Good, I've finally found you!"
Halfway through, a sharp voice suddenly came from behind.
Tang Hao immediately turned his head and saw a petite girl standing on the other side of the rooftop. The breeze blew her long hair, and a kind smile hung on her beautiful face as she gnashed her teeth.
"Tang Ritian, you're in big trouble, hahahaha!"
Kaguya's laughter revealed the excitement of wanting to see the world in chaos. Tang Hao's scalp tingled a little as he smiled warmly. "We meet again. Why are you in school too?"
"I'm here to spy on Mystis."
"What a coincidence, me too."
"Yeah, what a coincidence."
"Since it's such a coincidence, why don't we go for a meal together? My treat."
"Okay, but before that …"
The smile on the girl's face suddenly became twisted, and her tone became cold.
"I'm not a flat-chested monster! Fuck! Baka! "
In an instant, the young girl kicked out.
