Chapter 333
"Is this the work you put your heart and soul into? I can see that you used to like painting very much and put a lot of effort into it. If that's the case, you can show this painting to others with more confidence, because... maybe you were afraid of other people's eyes because of their betrayal, but the effort and hard work you put in the past will never betray you."
"Your efforts and persistence will water beautiful flowers, and time will make them bloom."
Her eyes slowly widened and her face turned red.
Nanashi was so frightened that her whole body stiffened. After a while, she ran behind Yoshino in a panic, closing her eyes and not daring to look directly at Melusina.
'This scary guy... is he so handsome? '
This was the thought that suddenly popped up in Nanashi's mind.
However, Melusina just thought that she had scared the other person away again.
'What a pity, I thought the atmosphere just now was pretty good... Human emotions are so complicated...'
Even someone as strong as Melusina felt a little discouraged.
What she felt sorry for was that even though Shion had helped to appease Nana, her relationship with Nana still hadn't improved. She felt a little sorry for Shion's efforts...
"Okay, Shion and Nana's works have been shown."
Shion's distinctive voice sounded again, "Now only Lancelot's paintings have not been shown to everyone. Of course, it's understandable if you don't want to show them. After all, Nana's works are so amazing, they must have put a lot of pressure on you, hehe."
The mean words couldn't change the expression on Melusina's face. Her expression and eyes were so calm, giving people a sense of calmness and composure of "Mount Tai collapses in front of her and her face does not change, and a deer rises on her left and her eyes do not blink."
"I admit that I am not as good as Nanashi in the field of painting."
"Oh oh oh! You actually admitted your shortcomings frankly?"
Yoshina covered her mouth in surprise. Even Yoshino and Nanashi could see surprise in their eyes.
"Is this so surprising?"
Meliucina tilted her head in confusion, and then said calmly, "I am not so fragile that I dare not accept such an obvious gap. Not as good as it is not as good as it is."
Looking at Melusina like this, Nanashi's inferiority complex became even heavier.
'How dazzling... How can there be such a dazzling person in this world? I feel that I am the opposite type...'
Meliucina also showed her paintings to Nanashi and Yoshino.
How to describe it... It's just average.
You can see the painter's intentions, but the various techniques are very amateurish. If you judge it by the standards of hobbyists, it is considered a good painting, but there is a clear gap compared to Nanashi's paintings.
Looking at the dazzling Melusina, Nanashi narrowed his eyes slightly.
‘Even though everyone admits that they are not as good as me, I can’t be happy... I always feel that I have lost in some more important areas... A miserable defeat! ’
Just then, Melusina suddenly felt the sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and the footsteps were approaching this side.
There was a knock on the door, followed by the voice of Gokawa Shido.
“Lancelot, Nanashi, Yoshino, are you in the room?”
“It’s Shido!”
“Shido is back?”
Yoshino was happy that Gokawa Shido had returned home, and a bright smile appeared on her face.
Melusina walked to the door and turned the doorknob, so that several people in the room saw Gokawa Shido standing outside the door.
“Are you... painting?”
Before entering the door, Gokawa Shido saw the brushes and drawing paper scattered all over the small table, and was a little curious.
"Does Shidou want to draw?"
Melyusina looked at Gokawa Shidou expressionlessly, "I heard from Kotori that you used to like drawing character designs in your notebook when you were in class, such as the Black Knight Levan..."
"Ah! Ah! Ah!"
Gokawa Shidou screamed hysterically as if he had seen a ghost, trying to cover up what Melusina said.
I feel that Gokawa Shidou is a bit pitiful, with a sister who would reveal his dark history from time to time...
However, Melusina felt that Gokawa Shidou's reaction was a bit exaggerated... Which boy has not been a chuunibana? She did the same thing when she was a child. Almost every page of her elementary school textbooks had her drawings of villains, magic circles, chuunibana spells, etc.
There was even one time when she was too bored during an exam and couldn't help but draw a little man on the test paper, which resulted in the teacher deducting two points from her test score...
Looking at Gokawa Shido kneeling on the ground in the "Ort" position, Melusina said: "So, do you have something to ask us? Shido, it's rare that you come to us as soon as you get home from school."
"Well... Indeed, I have something very important to ask you."
Gokawa Shido staggered to his feet, his expression a little heavy.
It felt like he had already gotten the answer even if he didn't say the question, but he forced himself to continue asking because he refused this reality.
"Have you... heard of the name 'Tobiichi Origami'?"
The room suddenly fell into silence.
"Tobiichi... Origami?"
Qi Zui repeated the name, touched his chin in confusion, and shook his head.
"I don't know you...who is that?"
"that……"
Yoshino said uneasily at this moment, "I'm sorry, Mr. Shido... I don't remember the name either."
"It sounds like a girl's name."
Yoshina shook her head, "Is it the name of the girl Shido likes?"
"You... don't remember either..."
At a very low volume, Itsuka Shidou muttered unwillingly and leaned against the door with a heavy expression.
Itsuka Shidou didn't know why it happened like this. Today, as usual, he went to school with Tohka, Yakiya, and Yuzuru.
The abnormality was discovered in the school. The place next to him that originally belonged to Tobiichi Origami, but no one came today.
If it was just that, forget it, he thought Tobiichi Origami just asked for sick leave, but when the teacher called the roll call, he didn't hear the name "Tobiichi Origami".
Realizing something was wrong, Itsuka Shidou immediately stood up and asked the teacher. Then, the teacher showed a blank expression and replied...
"Origami...classmate? Who is that?"
Not just teachers.
None of the classmates in the class remembered Tobiichi Origami.
Then, Itsuka Shidou asked Tohka, Yakiya, and Yuzuru, and the answers they received were surprisingly consistent.
The elf girls acted as if they had never seen Tobiichi Origami before.
Itsuka Shidou even skipped class and went to Tobiichi Origami's residence, but found nothing...it was just an empty room.
People nearby were not impressed by the name "Tobiichi Origami" either.
It was as if... Tobiichi Origami was just a figment of Hisuka Shido's imagination.
What happened?
Why did Tobiichi Origami seem to have disappeared after just one night?
As soon as he got home, he asked Yoshino and the others the same question, and as expected, he got the same answer.
Everyone around him didn't know "Tobiichi Origami", so much so that he almost believed that something was wrong with him and that he was hallucinating.
Then……
"That idiot Origami, please remember it. I taught her so many things but she can't remember it."
"!!!"
To Wuhe Shidao, his careless words were like a ray of light piercing the long night.
Just like a person who had been trapped in a dark cave for three days and three nights and suddenly saw the light coming through the cracks in the rocks, Wuhe Shidou looked into Melyuzina's eyes with excitement.
"Do you remember? Lancelot, do you remember origami?!"
Regarding Wuhe Shidou's sudden move, Nanisui and Yoshino were full of doubts, but Melyuzina was the only one who could somewhat understand.
To her surprise, Itsuka Shido's memory was not affected, and he still had the memory of the past before it was changed. It was obvious that he had not been hit by the Twelve Bullets in this world line.

Chapter 529: A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist.
Next, Melyuzina began to tell Wuhe Shidou about her experience of traveling to the past. Of course, Melyuzina did not drive Nanisui and Yoshino away while telling it, and let everyone listen together.
Including Shido Itsuka from another world line, the true identity of the elf who killed Origami's parents in the past, and finding Kurumi Tokisaki five years ago for another time-travel, etc.
Melyuzina told Wuhe Shidou and others.
"Shido, you should remember, right? After I said goodbye to you last night, I took Origami to find Kurumi."
"Yes, I still remember that incident...so you really succeeded in changing the past?"
Itsuka Shidou scratched his head. He suddenly received such ridiculous information and he didn't know what kind of expression he should show.
Because he retained the memories related to Tobiichi Origami, Itsuka Shidou still remembered the agreement between Melyuzina and Tobiichi Origami. He remembered that Tobiichi Origami had personally told him that his parents died because of elves. He remembered that Melyuzina brought him with him last night. Tobiichi origami went to find Kurumi Tokisaki.
After Melyuzina left with Tobiichi Origami last night, Itsuka Shidou didn't notice anything unusual and went to bed normally. However, when he woke up today, he found that the whole world had changed.
So why didn't he connect the dots?
Of course, Melyuzina also concealed things that she didn't say. For example...she didn't go back to the past with Kurumi Tokisaki's Twelve Bullets, but with time and space magic.
As for how she came back...
But she suddenly remembered that although Shido Itsuka was not suitable as an anchor because he was from another world line, there was still Elf Origami!
The Elf Origami is a hybrid of two world lines, and after it is sent back, Melyuzina can use the Origami she knows as an anchor to return.
Although the Elf Origami has disappeared, the traces left by her time travel are still there. Meluzina, who was worried that the traces would disappear, immediately flew out and successfully used time and space magic to return to the correct world line before the traces disappeared.
Itsuka Shidou was lowering his eyes and thinking deeply, Melyuzina did not bother him, but turned to look at Yoshino and Nanisui.
"What about you? Do you believe what I'm saying?"
Melyuzina said calmly, "Shido has that part of memory, but for those of you who don't have that part of memory, what I talked about with Shido must be very ridiculous, right?"
"I...I believe in Sister Lancelot and Mr. Shido..."
Although she was a little nervous when she spoke, Yoshino's trust in Melyuzina and Itsuka Shidou didn't seem to be fake.
"Really, Yoshino also trusts Lancelot and Shido too much."
Yoshino said worriedly, "If it's Lancelot and Shido, I feel like they can trick the pure Yoshino into bed with just a few words."
"I wouldn't do that!"
Itsuka Shidou immediately retorted loudly.
"I know, I know. After all, if Shido had that kind of heart, whether it was Yoshino, Tohka, Yakuya, or Yuzuru, they would have already been in the shape of Shido."
At this point, Yoshino suddenly became serious, "So, don't betray Yoshino's trust, brother Shido, and Lancelot."
Itsuka Shidou, who didn't expect Yoshina, a pervert bunny, to suddenly become serious, was stunned for a moment, and then made a serious face.
"Well, I will definitely do it."
Seeing Yoshina looking over here, Melyuzina smiled slightly.
"I am the Fairy Knight Lancelot. I bear the title of the strongest Knight of the Round Table. Although I am not very good at interacting with others and not good at words, I will never do anything to make a beautiful woman cry. "
Yoshino chose to believe, so there were only seven sins left among the people present...
"To be honest, it's still hard for me to believe it...Why is Yoshino so easy to believe such ridiculous things?"
Qisui sighed slightly, then turned his head and whispered in a complicated tone mixed with helplessness, "Since Yoshino believes it, then I have no choice but to believe it..."
The problem that had troubled Itsuka Shidou all day was solved. Melyuzina's words proved that Tobiichi Origami was not his fantasy, so he felt much more relaxed than when he came.
"Speaking of which, why isn't Erya here?"
Itsuka Shidou asked Melyuzina curiously.
Niya is a very popular professional cartoonist, and she often pesters Melyuzina. At first, Itsuka Shidou thought that if it was Honjo Niya who had an omniscient angel, he would be able to answer his doubts.
"How could Erya be allowed to stay here?"
