Tia's head spun even more when she heard this.
What's wrong with me going on like this? What's the matter?
"The past is not just the past. The future is not just the future," said the Mifune's Mother suddenly, then smiled and looked at Lancelot again. "This gentleman should take good care of your child and not let him be impulsive again. Living well is always better than dying impulsively."
"Don't worry, I know!" Lancelot nodded very seriously.
However, the Mifune's Mother shook her head: "You... I hope you understand."
Just then, someone really did come to the entrance of the alley.
"Okay, my new customers are here. Do you two have any other questions?" the Mifune's Mother asked gently as always.
But Tia didn't understand. What past, past, future, future? What are you talking about? I don't understand at all? And I'm not going to be so impulsive and suicidal now, am I? That's all in the past, isn't it? Isn't she seeing the future?
Why do all fortune tellers like to speak in riddles? Riddle people, get out of Fuyuki... No, this isn't Fuyuki City, this is Observation City.
Riddle people, get out of Observation City!
Okay, just kidding, who would dare to let the Mifune's Mother leave?
At this time, Lancelot was also very speechless about what Tia was thinking.
"Anyway, since we can't get any useful information here, then we should go and find Miss Ryougi Shiki," Lancelot said.
Seeing this, Tia looked at the Mifune's Mother, who didn't say anything more, and then looked at Lancelot. She could only nod: "Okay, fine."
Tia followed Lancelot out of the alley and into the car.
But Tia's mind was wandering all the way.
Who else could be by my side? Does she mean someone will come to my side in the future? And then leave with regret? Then who will that be? And how does she know about my past suicidal behavior? Doesn't she have absolute future vision? Can the future see the past?
And more importantly, she has absolute future vision, so why can she see my future, while Ryougi Shiki, who is the Root, says that there are only records of my past, but no records of the future.
Is she more powerful than the Root? How is that possible?
As a result, after seeing the Mifune's Mother once, the puzzles became more numerous, and Tia's mind became even more confused.
Lancelot looked at Tia and shook his head helplessly.
After who knows how long, Lancelot drove to the road outside the bamboo forest. If Tia remembered correctly, this should be the place where Ryougi Shiki had her car accident.
At this time, the road, which should have been very quiet, was very lively, because it was close to Ryougi Shiki's house.
Tia looked at the passersby coming and going outside and immediately didn't want to get out of the car.
Because the people outside were so scary, each one was like they had been injected with chicken blood and brainwashed by a pyramid scheme, "helping" each other.
When someone fell, a group of people went to help them up, saying that falling down is good, that falling down is a blessing! It's God blessing you!
Some people would tell everyone they saw, "I won the lottery! Be happy for me! I won the lottery! Great!" Then a group of people would sincerely congratulate them, and then they would also run to scratch a lottery ticket. Whether they won or not, they would sincerely congratulate him.
Some people got new jobs at Ryougi Shiki's house, and then actively came out to help unemployed people passing by in the area find jobs. It's good to work here, easy and pays well! The benefits are good too, you can easily earn 100,000 a month without even having to work every day. There are many people like this here.
As for bumping into someone or something like that, they couldn't wait to thank the person's ancestors for eight generations with all sorts of words of gratitude.
Most importantly, Ryougi Shiki herself was actually standing at the gate of the Ryougi family, smiling so brightly as she welcomed people coming and going into her home as guests.
Tia instantly felt a stuffiness in her chest.
I absolutely don't admit that's Ryougi Shiki! She must have been taken over by someone! How could Ryougi Shiki be so skilled at communicating with others? How could Ryougi Shiki smile so brightly at strangers? She only smiled at Kiriya Kaname, at least that's how Tia remembers it.
"It seems the problem is indeed big," Lancelot said. "Master, what do you plan to do?"
Tia didn't know what to do. This kind of thing didn't exist in the original story... Uh... Wait, in the original story, Araya Souren had always been acting as the mastermind behind the scenes, plunging Ryougi Shiki into that endless darkness, but he failed and finally died at Ryougi Shiki's hands.
Then should I imitate him?
And team up with Araya Souren to trick Ryougi Shiki?
No way! I could never do something like that!
Just then, Ryougi Shiki seemed to have noticed Tia and walked towards Tia's Hummer.
"You've been parked here for a while, I'm curious what you're here for?" Ryougi Shiki asked directly.
Hearing Ryougi Shiki's question, Tia guessed that this probably wasn't Ryougi Shiki, but Ryougi Shikie, because her tone, attitude, and personality were much more cheerful and lively than Ryougi Shiki's.
Even if a major change occurred because of the disappearance of evil thoughts, Ryougi Shiki herself shouldn't instantly turn into a completely different person, probably.
So, this should be Ryougi SHIKI.
That's what Tia thought.
"Curious, just came to take a look, heard you're very famous here," Tia said directly and without any politeness.
"Yes, I am indeed very famous, but that's because of the good deeds I do. What, do you also need my help with something?" Ryougi Shiki continued to ask.
Uh... she just admitted it like that? Ryougi Shiki, no, even if it was Ryougi Shikie, would she say something like that?
"Um... can we stay at your house for a while?" Seeing this, Tia simply shamelessly asked to live here.
"Sure, no problem!" Ryougi Shiki agreed just like that.
"Is that so! Thank you very much, Sister Shiki," At this time, Tia was still speaking to Ryougi Shiki in that impolite tone.
"Master, how can a grown man just casually stay at the home of a strange young woman? That's too much against the way of the knight! It will cause her a lot of trouble!" Hearing Tia so easily asking to stay, Lancelot immediately objected to Tia in his mind.
However, Tia's lips curled up into a smile: "Lance, have you forgotten? I'm just a cute, harmless, and helpless seven-year-old boy."
Tia said these words to Lancelot in her mind, and Ryougi Shiki didn't hear them.
Lancelot couldn't help but twitch his lips at this time.
"Master, you'd better not do anything out of line. This Miss Ryougi Shiki should also be a very popular woman, and you also said that she will be with that young man named Kiriya Kaname in the future. You... won't break them up, will you?" Lancelot reminded Tia in his mind again at this time.
