Chapter 287
: Magical Girl Ilya
Fuyuki City, Xindu District.
At this moment, it was twelve o’clock in the middle of the night.
It’s late at night in the absolute sense – no mother can keep her child active outside at this point in time.
But only today is an exception.
After obtaining her mother’s consent, Sakura took Illya with her at eleven o’clock in the evening. Walked out of the Fuyuki Hotel with a big swagger.
Outside the hotel, Kotomine Kirei, who had been notified in advance, was driving the station wagon that everyone was already familiar with, waiting silently at the door.
In front of the car, the twin flashing lights pierced the darkness.
At the same time, Illya’s mood. Also like the constantly flickering lights, it became unsteady and restless.
“Can it really be done?”
Sitting in the car, she tightly hugged the golden Holy Grail in her arms. While asking Sakura with an uneasy mood about what might happen next.
——Although last night, Sakura had already shown the magic of “Magical Girl” in front of her.
But tonight, SakuraTell her that she must rely on her own strength to meet her mother.
This even sounded absurd, which made Illya feel very uneasy.
She didn’t think she could do something that sounded incredible.
After all, she has never even learned the most basic magic tricks.
She wasn’t even a trainee magician!
But at the same time, what Illya didn’t know was.
What Sakura wants is her experience of “never practicing magic”.
Sakura, who was born in a family of magicians and has dealt with so many magicians, knows. Once a person accepts the practice of magic, he is easily limited by that old thinking.
Of course, that idea cannot be said to be wrong—after all, many talented magicians have achieved today’s extraordinary achievements through the old-fashioned training methods.
But that old-fashioned training method is definitely not suitable for Sakura’s “Magic Girl~ Girl”.
Because it is different from the “logic” magicians.
The magical girl derived from the power of the third law is totally unreasonable.
Their power is ideal—just like Matthew’s Snowflake Shield, which can withstand the impact of the entire human history.
As long as she thinks she can, then she can!
And now.
This little girl holding the Holy Grail has to go through something similar to Matthew.
“Don’t you want to see your mother again and let your mother stay with you forever?”
Seeing Illya’s hesitant look, Sakura’s simple words made her firm in her mind.
And after half an hour.
When Illya, under the guidance of Kotomine Kirei, walked into the prayer room of the Holy Church alone, and walked to this place that was theoretically “closest to the gods”.
“it has started.”
Sakura standing outside the prayer room looked at the small prayer room that could only accommodate one person.
There was a very excited expression on her face.
Because at this moment, she can already feel it very clearly.
In that little prayer room.
But like the sea, there are bottomless thoughts that are constantly surging and boiling.
From a certain point of view, Ilya, who was immersed in these thoughts, was actually more like being baptized.
However, this baptism does not come from the gods, but from Sakura who is the origin of the concept of “Magical Girl”.
She used her longing for her mother as a reference, prayed to the gods, and called for a real [miracle].
And as an answer to this prayer.
“Ugh—”
The little holy grail placed in front of her suddenly emitted a burst of dazzling golden light, illuminating the entire prayer room brightly.
And Ilya, who was illuminated by this light, suddenly widened her eyes.
Because she suddenly noticed that in this dazzling light, the little Holy Grail suddenly disappeared.
Instead, it was a red gemstone.
Illya stretched out her hands and caught it firmly.
At this moment, she could feel it very clearly. There was a warm feeling from the palm of my hand.
It is as warm as a mother’s embrace.
At this moment, no one explained anything to her.
But through the connection in the soul, and the breath that will not be forgotten even if you die.
Now Ilya has fully understood what happened to her.
— This is her mother’s soul gem.
——It is also the source of her strength as a “Magical Girl”.
The third method, which possesses the ability to “materialize the soul”, responds to Illya’s longing in this way and realizes this so-called “miracle”.
to be honest.
This is by no means a perfect “miracle”.
After all, the red gem in front of her was far from the “mother’s resurrection” that Illya had expected.
But then again.
What else could she wish for?
At this moment, the mother’s soul is by her side and can accompany her forever.
Even, when transforming into a magical girl. Her soul can also be integrated with her mother’s soul, temporarily showing the posture of “Clothes of Heaven”.
In this case, she really can’t ask for too much.
“Mother.”
Elijah called softly.
She retracted her arms, and pressed this warm gem to her heart.
A slightly excited heartbeat sounded in her ears.
The time in the prayer room seemed to stand still at this moment.
She slowly closed her eyes.
Enjoy this short but eternal peace.
…
Illya, who reunited with her mother, fell asleep directly in the prayer room.
That night, she didn’t think about anything, and (Li Qianzhao) didn’t dream about anything.
Like an unborn baby, enjoying the warmth and security brought by its mother with peace of mind.
And eight hours later, near noon.
“Sure enough, you still chose this path, okay?”
Xia Ya came to say goodbye to Sakura and saw the current state of Illya.
——The ruby that keeps shining beautifully is so conspicuous that it’s hard not to notice it.
It’s just that this method of using emotion as a bond, calling for miracles, and then forming a soul gem…
“Of course I learned it from the incubator.”
Looking at Xia Ya’s hesitant appearance, Sakura directly expressed her thoughts:
“Although the practices of those incubators are indeed infuriating.”
“But their basic strategy is the most mature and effective.”
“So, I took it and borrowed it.”.
