"Your name is Tia, right? Don't worry, just say it. Don't be scared. No one will hurt you now," Kokutou Mikiya said to Tia reassuringly.
"Scared?" Asagami Fujino seemed to have heard a new word. She tilted her head and looked at Kokutou Mikiya with a puzzled expression.
"Okay, okay, let's not worry about being scared or not. Brother always says words I've never heard before, it's confusing! Come on in, don't just stand in the entryway," Shiki's sister, Kirie, said at this moment.
Tia was taken aback when she heard Kirie's words, and then followed her into the living room. But another thought had already formed in Tia's mind.
Before, Asagami Fujino had said that Kokutou Mikiya had told her about the word "angry." Now, Asagami Fujino hadn't heard of the word "scared" at all, and Kirie hadn't either. Doesn't that mean something?
Maybe Kokutou Mikiya hasn't been affected by the disappearance of bad thoughts!
But why is that?
Could it be... because Kokutou Mikiya himself is an absolutely harmless person? Right, what is Kokutou Mikiya's origin? Absolutely normal? Harmless person? Fate?
No matter what it is, it seems that Kokutou Mikiya himself is considered an absolutely harmless person, and therefore he is considered a person without bad thoughts. So, he is the only ordinary person in the world today who will not be affected by bad thoughts (not including Casters). At least in Tia's understanding, there shouldn't be a second person like Kokutou Mikiya in the entire Type-Moon world.
So... did Kokutou Mikiya also realize that something was wrong with this world a long time ago? No, he should have realized it a long time ago. A normal ordinary person couldn't possibly not notice such an abnormal world.
So... is Kokutou Mikiya pretending not to know right now?
Maybe Kokutou Mikiya is the key to breaking through this lost world where bad thoughts have disappeared. Maybe the answer to what exactly the disappearing bad thoughts are in this lost world can be found in Kokutou Mikiya.
In the living room, everyone sat down, and Kirie poured tea for everyone, then sat down as well.
"Little brother, what do you need my brother for?" Kirie asked at this time.
"I want to ask Kokutou Mikiya to investigate something, to meet someone," Tia said straightforwardly, having thought about it.
"Investigate? My brother is good at investigating, but how did you know?" Kirie asked curiously.
"I... someone told me," Tia said.
Tia almost said "I just know" just now.
"Okay, Tia, what do you want me to investigate? Who do you want to meet?" Kokutou Mikiya asked.
"Investigate why those two girls don't know the meaning of the words 'angry' and 'scared.' I want to take you to meet Ryougi Shiki," Tia said frankly.
"!!!" Kokutou Mikiya was shocked by Tia's words, but he didn't say anything, just forced himself to calm down. "Okay, I accept. Kirie, tell Dad and Mom that I might be home late tonight, or maybe I won't be home tonight at all."
"Okay," Kirie nodded, but then asked, "Also, why does the fact that I don't know what 'angry' and 'scared' mean need to be investigated? Is that Ryougi Shiki the famous Ryougi Shiki who always does good deeds?"
"Yes," Tia nodded.
"Um, I want to go too," Asagami Fujino said at this time. "Although I don't understand anything, I think I'm amazing! I can definitely help you!"
Tia hesitated when she heard Asagami Fujino's words.
Should I let Asagami Fujino meet Ryougi Shiki early? Will the main story of Garden of Sinners end before it officially begins!
"Well, Asagami is indeed very amazing, but it's better if Asagami doesn't come along for this. Don't you have a performance at your house? Don't let it interfere with the performance," Kokutou Mikiya said at this time.
"Ah? That's right, what a pity, I have to go back to continue performing. My Dad says that will make me more and more amazing," Asagami Fujino said.
When Tia heard Asagami Fujino's words, her idea was confirmed.
The more people know, the stronger the mystery.
Completely opposite to the mysterious rules of the past.
Why is that? Now that bad thoughts have disappeared and only good thoughts remain, what does this 180° reversal of the mysterious rules mean?
"If I said I wanted to go too, you definitely wouldn't let me go, right? Forget it, anyway, you've been so mysterious and strange lately, I can't be bothered to care," Kirie said, seemingly carelessly, but Tia knew in her heart that she cared a lot.
After all, Kirie has been affected by the disappearance of bad thoughts, so she still doesn't know what so-called bad thoughts are, but she just knows that bad thoughts are something that shouldn't be pursued, something that this lost world doesn't allow to exist.
And Kirie herself is also a fire-starting ability user. It's not magic, but something closer to superpowers. Kirie doesn't have magic circuits, but she has the innate ability to ignite fire, not to burn herself, but the ability to make the target ignite. It's just that she has never told anyone, so her ability is weak.
Tia was thinking about Kirie's matter. According to Kirie's unique origin, maybe it could also help in the process of pursuing the truth of bad thoughts.
Thinking of this, Tia remembered Demon Hunter Fire Blade.
They are both treasures related to fire. Tia can just help Kirie improve her strength, as for teaching her as a teacher, Tia doesn't have that ability.
As a result, Tia got up and left the living room by herself: "I'm going to the bathroom."
"It's over there," Kokutou Mikiya said.
"Master, that Kokutou Mikiya obviously already knows," Lancelot said in the bathroom.
Tia nodded: "That's good, I don't have to explain it again."
While Tia was talking, she was still making the treasure Demon Hunter Fire Blade.
"Can that girl really control this treasure well?" Lancelot asked, seeing Tia's actions, and said the doubt in his heart.
