So, Tia had to keep saying she had seen the future, to make her think she was wrong, even though she could never be wrong.
Tia was betting that her Reincarnated Person status would make Ryougi Shiki, the Source, interested in her and come looking for her. She even wanted her to think that the Source, who was never wrong, was not working on Tia.
This was Tia's deep-down thought, but she never said it out loud. Because she was a Reincarnated Person, she was afraid to say it, even to think about it. So, she could only pretend to have no plan.
But actually, Tia wasn't sure about this plan. After all, even as a Reincarnated Person, could she really escape the Type-Moon Source? Could she really not be written in the Vortex of the Source? That's why Tia never said it or dared to think about it.
It wasn't until Ryougi Shiki really came to her that Tia was sure.
Maybe she really wasn't recorded in the Vortex of the Source, like someone without an ID.
She just didn't expect Ryougi Shiki to bring up that Tia didn't have future sight.
"Even if people sometimes accidentally come to parallel worlds, the Akashic Records will have records. But you don't. Plus, there was the sudden appearance of the Outer God Cthulhu in the Fourth Holy Grail War. You... Are you from the same place as the Outer Gods? The Akashic Records have the Outer Gods' birth, course, and death, but there's no detailed record of where they were born. After all, that's outside the universe," Ryougi Shiki continued.
"Wait! That... Miss Ryougi Shiki, Master is just a human. No matter how you look at it, she's a human. How could she be from outside the universe!" Lancelot really didn't believe Ryougi Shiki.
"Am I from outside the universe?" Tia asked, pretending not to know where she came from.
But Tia was also worried about something else: could Ryougi Shiki know what she was thinking?
If she could, then she would be wasting her time.
"I see... It seems you don't know anything either," Ryougi Shiki said, looking at Lancelot but speaking to Tia. "It seems the Source isn't all-knowing and all-powerful." Ryougi Shiki said this with a smile, but she was facing away from Tia, so Tia didn't see it.
To make Ryougi Shiki show a happy smile like this while saying "It seems the Source isn't all-knowing and all-powerful," it's hard to imagine what Ryougi Shiki knew.
"I really don't know, but I believe Master isn't from outside the universe," Lancelot thought Ryougi Shiki was talking to him and replied.
"Well, in that case, I wish you good luck, Tia, Lancelot. If you want to know if this world can be saved, try to help Shiki get the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception. After all… Evil was killed by your arrow. Shiki and Shiki also were greatly affected. It is very hard to say if they want to die." Ryougi Shiki said, waving her hand.
Tia was also reminded by Ryougi Shiki and immediately realized that her actions might have stopped Shiki and Shiki from being killers. If they didn't want to kill themselves, then Araya Souren might even give up his plan.
Araya Souren was the mastermind behind everything in Kara no Kyoukai. If the big boss Araya Souren was gone, who would Ryougi Shiki awaken her Mystic Eyes of Death Perception to fight?
As Tia was thinking, a gust of wind blew cherry blossom petals, blocking Tia and Lancelot's view with a sky full of cherry blossom petals.
When the wind stopped and the cherry blossom petals fell, Ryougi Shiki was gone.
I didn't expect to have to help Ryougi Shiki open her Mystic Eyes of Death Perception myself. This is too much of an influence.
Tia frowned, then looked up at the mountain road.
That's right, I didn't ask what I wanted to ask! She led me astray from the beginning!
Tia was speechless, but it was already like this. It was unlikely that she would see her again soon, so she could only do what she said.
Since this was the mountain road from the original story, would there be any important buildings from the original story at the end of the mountain road? Like Mikiya Kokutou and Ryougi Shiki's school or something.
Anyway, the whereabouts of Ryougi Shiki's residence are still not clear, so it is better to begin at another place. Maybe their high school or something. Then from their high school begin searching for Mikiya Kokutou's house.
Tia remembered Mikiya Kokutou's house being mentioned, but it didn't say where it was.
It looks kind of troublesome, but there's no other way.
Tia thought, and started walking up the mountain road.
Lancelot followed without saying anything.
"Master, how are you planning to help Miss Ryougi Shiki awaken her Mystic Eyes of Death Perception?" Lancelot suddenly asked.
Tia shook her head: "I don't know. I have no idea."
"Master, didn't you say Miss Ryougi Shiki's house is a big house deep in the bamboo forest? Then she should be quite famous locally. We should ask someone," Lancelot said, following Tia.
Of course Tia understand. And had plan to ask for directions. They met with two ridiculous people who might be Gudako's parents, and then they met the Source, and were interrupted.
Just seeing those two strange people, she felt a bit repulsed. They were people Tia couldn't communicate with. Tia couldn't keep up with their way of thinking at all.
"Master, if you really don't want to interact with the people here, I'll do it. We just need to be careful not to release any eye-catching magic," Lancelot said.
Tia pouted: "Didn't you mess up and release magic on the spot before? And why hasn't the release of a spell caused any major repercussions even though we don't know why this Strange Belt has become like this! And according to what people are saying, it seems like they all know about the existence of magic!"
Tia didn't realize anything unusual about Lancelot's words.
"Sorry," Lancelot apologized seriously. "I wasn't thinking."
Could Lancelot also be affected by my reckless personality? Tia thought when she heard Lancelot's words.
Lancelot shook his head subconsciously: "I really thought that chef was a demon spreading evil."
However, Tia still didn't realize that Lancelot was responding to Tia's thoughts.
