[Comprehensive] God's blessing

"But I don't know how to play chess—" Aika hesitated for a moment, then declined.

But the hero named [Chess Player] was unexpectedly persistent: "There is nothing you can't do."

But she really can't play chess...

Aika frowned, looked up at the hero sitting directly opposite her, and sighed, "Okay...can you tell me the rules?"

Looking at the messy chess game, she sat up nervously.

Unexpectedly, in the next second, the chess player said with a smile in his voice: "There are no rules."

... If she hadn't repeatedly confirmed that the person sitting across from her was a registered professional hero, she would really suspect that he was actually here to play tricks on her.

"You just need to watch it." Just as Aika's brows were getting deeper and deeper, the chess player suddenly said.

The sound seemed to come from another universe.

"You will understand."

The checkerboard in front of her was evenly distributed with black and white patches—in her opinion, there was nothing special about it.

But under the urging of the hero in front of her, she still lowered her head and focused her gaze on the chessboard.

A momentary suffocation followed by a deafening noise.

Manaka opened her eyes and looked at the scene in front of her in disbelief.

...mage tower.

Looking at the bustling crowd in front of her, she stretched out her hand tremblingly.

out of touch.

But consciousness is awake.

...How is this going?

Manaka blinked in confusion, then took the first step cautiously.

——.

"How is it?" A familiar voice rang in my ear.

Aika blinked, looked at the hero named [Chess Player] in front of her, and put away all doubts.

"...can you tell me how it's done?"

She pursed her lips and asked softly.

"What did you see?" The chess player didn't answer her question, but asked instead.

"..." Aika stared closely at his eyes, but couldn't read any message from those calm eyes, and finally replied discouragedly: "...Mage Tower."

She reached out and touched the skin under her eyes, and as expected, she felt a cold touch.

...she would cry uncontrollably whenever she saw the Mage Tower.

why?

She wiped away her tears and looked up at the chess player: "I told you, so you should tell me too—how did you do it?"

That picture is too clear, better than countless pictures seen in dreams.

"...Because you are a spellcaster." The chess player stared at her quietly for a long time, then said softly: "You are a spellcaster, so you can see it."

His tone was too respectful, and there seemed to be some emotions in the respect that she couldn't understand. Aihua was stunned, and it took a few seconds for her to react.

"...don't you?" she said.

He seemed to smile slightly: "Of course."

"Countless... Countless beings are madly trying to become spellcasters... Of course, most of them have become jokes."

Having said that, he raised his eyes and took a slow look at Aihua: "Including me."

Manaka's body froze for a moment, and at that moment, even her brain seemed to be screaming to escape the room.

"You seem to be afraid of me."

The chess player changed his posture very slowly and sat, crossing his hands and looking at her: "Why..."

"I'm a 'hero', I won't hurt you, sit down. "

His tone was very inductive, and Aika was startled, only to realize that she had stood up involuntarily.

Rationality tossed a few times in her heart before she reluctantly sat down.

"continue."

Following the guidance of his fingers, Aika once again fixed her gaze on the chessboard.

"Wait a minute!" Aihua hurriedly stopped her, but when she raised her eyes, she saw that the other party was staring at her non-stop.

...he is frowning.

Sometimes there's just too much emotion that those eyes can express.

Even though her whole body was covered with black cloth, she could clearly capture his mood.

"What's the matter?" His voice was very flat, and it could even be said to be a little cold, which could not be concealed even by the old voice.

"...Can I move inside?" Aihua looked away, and asked a little cautiously: "Just now I only took one step...and woke up."

"You have to be patient, don't you?" At this time, his tone was obviously a little impatient, and he only kept the honorifics, but his voice had a bit of sarcasm, which sounded a little arrogant: "You have to do everything concentrate."

However, at the next moment, he eased his tone extremely abruptly: "...There are only two opportunities to enter the void every day, you have to seize the opportunity."

"...I see." Aika shrank in the opposite direction, and nodded stiffly.

Immediately afterwards, she turned her gaze back to the chessboard.

Manika looked at the familiar crowd in front of her and held her breath nervously.

concentrate.

She thought so, and then took the first step.

well.

Manika couldn't help showing a smile as she looked at the scene that didn't change in any way.

It seems that there is no difference here from the dream.

The books as high as the wall are flipping quickly out of thin air, and a cloud of white mist floating in the sky occasionally emerges and flies to another place lightly with hands and feet. There are mages in robes running around, and some of them are leaning shallowly on the ground. Sleeping deeply on stone pillars, some are hugging their summoned objects intimately, some are rampaging with a jar of strangely colored potions, some are holding papers of unknown materials, and are arguing with another wizard in a low voice.

Aika stared at all this with bated breath, and when she wanted to get closer——

"enough!!"

It was an angry reprimand, which came from another direction on this floor.

In an instant, any sound was cut off at this moment, and all the mages stopped what they were doing and looked in the direction of the sound source.

What's more, he put down the book in his hand and bowed his back respectfully in that direction.

The voice seemed to be a high-ranking mage.

Manika looked around, made a judgment in her heart, and then looked in that direction.

Coincidentally, there was a regular gap in the crowd, allowing her to clearly see what was going on.

"...Mentor." The person who was reprimanded looked around, his face flushed with anger.He looked very young and handsome, and his dark blue robes matched his figure.

The young man tightened his mouth and looked at the old man in front of him: "Sooner or later, you will understand that what I said is correct."

Then, he scanned the surrounding crowd with a sense of hostility, broke through one way and fled in another direction.

"...Alberich..." The other old man standing next to the old mage who reprimanded him cast a faint glance at him, hesitant to speak.

The old mage sighed, with boundless disappointment: "...I spoiled him."

After finishing speaking, he walked in the opposite direction to the mage.

Run in the opposite direction.

After the silence, the crowd resumed its usual noise.

Aihua stared fixedly at the direction where the young mage left. For some reason, there was always a voice in her brain shouting:

follow him.

She hesitated for a moment, but finally walked in that direction.

He didn't go far.

Aika just walked in that direction for a while, and then saw the furious back of the man.

He kept casting spells towards the surroundings, and all of them were absorbed by the seemingly gorgeous walls and disappeared.

The black jade-like hair was a little messy and attached to his cheeks, his face looked very pale, and the same dark eyes were like snakes with a malicious light.

"Why...why why why why!!!!" At first it was a soft murmur, but in the end it turned into a roar.

Aika quietly watched his movements not far from him, and frowned in confusion for some reason.

"Then I should ask you, shouldn't I?"

Suddenly, a voice sounded in the empty corridor, and Aika was startled abruptly, then reflexively looked in the direction of the sound.

It was a very enchanting woman, not even the crimson robe could conceal her good figure.

She walked gracefully in the direction of the man, strangely, Aika couldn't see her face clearly, it seemed to be shrouded in a thick fog.

"Who are you?" The man looked at her vigilantly, and habitually covered his right hand back.

It is an action about to launch an attack.

"No, no, don't do that to me, Heslet." The woman stepped forward and suddenly got very close to the man: "You should know that I am your friend."

"Friend?" The man named Heslet sneered, "I don't know you—"

"My name is Marlena." The woman smiled, and put her hand on the man's shoulder charmingly: "Now you know each other."

"..." Heslet didn't say anything, but it could be seen that he seemed to have reached the verge of anger.

"Don't be angry..." Malena smiled coquettishly, and then moved closer with an extremely ambiguous movement: "I know you... everything about you, your ideals... and ambitions."

"That's just amazing...Hazlet, you're a genius...a real genius."

"And I can help you."

After uttering the last sentence, the mist on the woman's face slowly dissipated.

Manaka opened her eyes wide at that moment.

The woman named Marlena leaned her head on Heslet's shoulder and smiled coquettishly in her direction.

Those eyebrows——

"..." Aika couldn't make any sound, the moment she wanted to run towards the woman, the space around her shattered like glass.

The feeling of squeezing came towards her, and the woman got farther and farther away from her, turning into a cloud of smoke.

……

Manaka opened her eyes, and stared blankly at the [chess player] who was staring at her.

"...I have prepared a room for you." After an unknown amount of time, an old voice rang in her ears.

It wasn't until she walked into the bedroom and the door was slammed shut behind her that she opened her eyes wide as if she had just woken up from a dream.

She looked around stiffly, then slowly covered her face.

A few seconds later, her faint, almost broken cry came from inside the room.

"……Mother."

The author has something to say:
