The next morning, after breakfast, Mashiro handed Hoshikatsu his sketchbook with both hands.

Since Mashiro is now much taller than Hoshiki, has a better figure than Illya, and looks much more mature, the scene at the dinner table now looks like a family of three sisters.

And now it's like the eldest sister is handing the sketchbook to the youngest brother - this scene is quite interesting because the apparent order is exactly opposite to the reality.

"Give it to me?"

Xingke took the notebook with a smile on his face.

"Well, identification ceremony."

Mashiro calmly said something that made Xingke a little confused.

"Identification ceremony... Mashiro, do you want to leave?"

"Yes, I want to go back."

"Don't you want to stay a few more days? Although this garden of death is still small, there are still many places that we have never been to."

"No, I can come over anytime."

Immediately, Mashiro took out a Hongkai Ark badge from his pocket.

"Did Meteora give it to you? And it looks like a specially customized version..."

"Yes, this is a direct invitation letter to [Qiyi Duobao Pavilion]."

"...Oh, by the way, I actually planned to go back to Hohenheim recently. Didn't you say that you wanted to see the senior sister in Rowling's book? This time..."

"No, I'll go back next time. I want to go back to Sakurasou now."

"..."

For some reason, Xingke felt that Mashiro was different today.

"Someone, last night, I kept thinking and thinking, but I couldn't figure it out..."

As he spoke, Mashiro put his hand on his chest and said:

"Here... there is a very hazy feeling, and it feels uncomfortable. I want to release it, but I can't express it.

I can't figure out what this feeling is.

However, I can clearly feel how sad, lonely, and... desperate this feeling is.

Especially in the morning, after seeing someone, this feeling becomes clearer..."

Seeing that Illya and Xingke's eyes were all focused on him, Mashiro's eyes became more determined:

"I want to draw something...

I want to express this feeling on the drawing board...

I want to express this feeling...

Be concrete and stay forever...

So, I want to go back."

A calm, soft and delicate voice, but full of a certain will, a certain persistence and belief.

This will transcends language and reaches Xingke's heart.

He may not understand exactly what Mashiro is talking about, but it is very clear that Mashiro is acting with his own strong will.

"It's okay here, phew... okay, I understand."

In the end, Hoshiki gave up trying to keep Mashiro. Anyway, soon the entire Sakura Village would be moved next door by Hoshiki, creating a cross-border space overlap.

However, before Mashiro uses a drawing board to express what she feels, she will not follow Hoshikatsu around (collecting materials).

"So, Mashiro, before you go back, do you want to sign a contract with me to become a magical girl?"

………

Therefore, Xingke took advantage of this opportunity to get the second [Servant]—Shiina Mashiro, a professional [Painter], and became a glorious dual messenger master...

Ahem, just kidding, the [Soul Contract] technology given by Meteora to Star is a [self-customization school] that she combined with magic technology data collected from all walks of life. It has nothing to do with old man Zolgen's command spell system.

However, it is very convenient to be able to share vision, communicate through words, and locate coordinates through a contract, and at the same time, it can also allow the weaker party to gain some power.

At least with the supply of magic power, Mashiro wouldn't be in any danger because he forgot to eat and drink.

Moreover, as an equal contract, one party does not unconditionally dominate the other party. However, when there is a huge difference in strength and weakness, it is not as equal as imagined.

For example, information always flows from high places to low places, which is an unavoidable drawback...

After Mashiro accepted the contract, he said something very strange——

"Someone...is that your feeling?"

And Xing Ke’s answer is:

"What nonsense are you talking about? I don't have such intense emotional fluctuations. That's your emotion."

………

After [Servant] No. 2, [Painter] Mashiro left and the barrier of Sakurasou was dealt with, Hoshikatsu also moved the library of Yumada's mansion over... Since Meteora

If Xing Ke is not allowed to act wild in her library, then Xing Ke can only act wild in his own library.

"So, [Servant] No. 1! Have you finished your ceremony?"

"Who is Servant No. 1? Don't give other people random names!"

Illya retorted while throwing the last gift box into the ripples of space behind her.

"Why isn't it Servant No. 1? Whether it's a contract or your storage space that looks like a golden treasure house..."

"Then do you want to be the scapegoat of this world? Or do you want to be a tax-stealing priest?"

Illya found a short wand that had not been used for a long time, waved it twice, and said with a speechless expression:

"Let's talk about it first, this is not just a [golden-like treasure trove], but the real [King's Treasure] that I asked Altair to find out from a certain world line in Xingyue rightly? The treasure inside

The tools are also very comprehensive...”

"Okay, Master, let's forget it. No matter what it is, it doesn't seem to end well..."

As he spoke, Xingke raised his wand, opened a [World Gate] in front of the two of them, and then said faintly:

"Illya, although you said that I don't love anyone at all, I actually have many people I like? I like you very much, I like Mashiro very much, I like Koichiye very much, and I like Meteora very much.

, Serekia, Alistria, Misaka, Momika and the other ladies from Hongkai Ark, I even like the very fierce Altair, right?

This is all true! I am very philanthropic..."

"[Like] and [Love] are two completely different things. Don't think I can't hear that you are secretly changing concepts..."

Illya glanced condescendingly at Xingke, touched Xingke's little head, then took a step forward, stood in front of the boundary crossing gate, and said with her back to him:

"Besides, don't dwell on what happened last night.

I know that you have really tried your best, so I don’t have much other meaning, it’s just that I feel it.”

Illya turned sideways and stretched out a hand towards Xing Mo——
