The words I mentioned to Livilia before and asked her to tell Ais.
"From what Loki said, it seems that the reason you came here is because of the prophecy?"
Lieyan looked at Livilia who looked helpless, and then the elf beauty nodded helplessly.
"That's right, but I originally only wanted to find you alone, but for some reason, Loki and the others showed up..."
"There's something wrong with our beloved little baby, how can we sit still? And Livilia, who has been watching Ais the whole time, suddenly left. There must be something wrong!"
"I followed Loki because I saw him sneaking around Livilia."
"Lady Ais once told me about the prophecy that Lady Livilia told her..."
"Don't look at me. I came here with the two of them."
Lieyan: "..."
Lord Loki, with your ability to find clues, it would be a shame if you didn't go to Beika Town and change your job to become a famous detective.
"So, what's going on?"
"That's it!"
Diona quickly explained the current situation, and Lieyan nodded as he listened.
What happened was almost identical to the events in his vague memory, except for various details that were quite different.
It was still Bert who was drunk and spoke rudely, but this time, apart from the sarcasm that irritated a certain white-haired boy, Bert did not flirt with Ais with his words. However, it seemed that he did not miss the beating that resulted in Bert being hung up in the end. And because Bert had called an old woman in the Monster Hunter World before, Riveria also stepped on the werewolf's head several times.
And finally, because of the prophecy that Livilia had conveyed, after Ais realized that the being that escaped from her for the second time was the rabbit in the prophecy, her depression doubled.
Lieyan: "..."
Well... now it sounds like he is indeed to blame...
"So... the reason you came to me is to ask me to solve this prophecy?"
"Yes."
"But for a heart-to-heart talk, no matter from which angle you look at it, it's more appropriate for you to go, Livilia." Lieyan looked at the elf beauty.
Logically speaking, at this level, Livilia, you should be able to comfort her.
"I went, but failed. Aisi has been struggling with the prophecy. I don't know why, but she seems to care a lot about it." Livilia sighed.
"So I told her that the prophecy came from you. In this way, there shouldn't be any problem for you to enlighten her."
When she just found out that Aisi's condition seemed to be a little abnormal, she communicated with Aisi immediately, but the result was somewhat unsatisfactory. Although Aisi communicated normally, her depressed mood did not change at all. As long as she left, Aisi would continue to be depressed.
"It seems like this job really can't be done by someone other than me. Okay, let me be responsible for communicating with Ai Si."
Lieyan scratched his head, feeling a little amused.
This should be considered retribution in this life. After all, you have to pay for the sins you have committed.
As expected, one must be careful in this world where gods roam in the underworld. The danger level of Orario seems to be no less than that of the gods themselves or their incarnations wandering around in the Age of Gods Greece.
Chapter 63: Prophecies are bullshit!
stare--
Sitting on a bench in the family's courtyard, Aisi hugged her knees, looked up at the blue sky, and looked unhappy.
This is the family atrium surrounded by outer towers. This small area surrounds the central tower in a circular layout. Due to its location, the lighting is not very good.
But thanks to the careful care of the group members, the flowers and plants in this small area are thriving.
Aisi likes the environment here very much, so as long as she is in the base, she will get up early almost every day to practice swordsmanship here.
Today is the same - it should have been like this.
But today the rapier was just quietly leaning against the roots of a lush tree next to the bench, and its owner had no intention of using it at all. It seemed that he had brought it here only out of some instinct.
"It's a rabbit, but it's not a rabbit..."
"Ais?"
Just as Ai Si was still looking at the sky dejectedly, a huge body cast a shadow that blocked the light.
The girl's golden eyes focused, and she lowered her head to look at the wall that appeared in front of her. Then, her eyes moved slightly.
"Flame, flaming?"
"It's me. I heard from Livilia that you seemed to be very concerned about the prophecy I asked her to tell you?"
Lieyan asked casually, sitting cross-legged on the ground. His eyes were lower than the girl sitting on the chair, just enough for the girl hugging her knees to look at him effortlessly.
"...Well, the rabbit ran away. I couldn't catch up with it. Or rather, I didn't think of chasing it..."
Moreover, this was the second time Kai ran away from me...
Why didn't I think that the white-haired boy was the rabbit in the prophecy?
The girl hugged her knees tighter, and her tone sounded a little unconfident, as if she was blaming herself.
"Let me ask you a question, Aisi, do you know what prophecy is?" Lieyan listened to what Aisi said, but did not continue talking. Instead, he changed the subject.
"What is the prophecy?" Ai Si blinked, her attention attracted by Lie Yan's words.
"Prophecy, to put it simply, is some fragments of the future that the prophet sees, described in some way. It is actually such a simple thing, but first we must be clear about a premise."
Lieyan tapped his forehead with his index finger.
"What premise?"
Aisi easily fell into Lieyan's topic and couldn't help but continue the conversation.
Lieyan's mouth curled up slightly into a smile.
"Then listen carefully, there is only one premise for the so-called prophecy.
All the prophecies are bullshit!"
"!!!!!!"
The girl's eyes suddenly opened wide, and her huddled body unconsciously leaned back 15 degrees at this powerful sentence.
And Lieyan seemed to have opened a chatterbox and spoke faster and faster.
"Vague prophecies are bullshit, incomplete prophecies are bullshit, and prophecies that tell you to do something are the worst kind of bullshit!"
But, Lieyan, the prophecy you gave me seems to be the last one...
Although she muttered in her heart, the girl shrank her head and dared not say a word.

"Prophecy, no matter what, as long as it appears in other people's ears, it must be something that the prophet wants to change, whether it is the demise of a companion or the destruction of the world, it is the same."
"Liehyan...are you like this too?"
"No, I'm different. Or rather, my predictions are no longer those of low-brow interest. Having experienced this incident, you should have understood what this sentence is trying to achieve."
Lieyan shook his head and smiled mysteriously.
How could he have predicted anything? It was all spoilers, okay? He just wanted to see the possibility of Aisi and Bell reaching a settlement in advance, so he asked Livilia to pass on the so-called prophecy, but who would have thought that this prophecy would trap Aisi...
"Yes... catch up with him and apologize?"
Ais thought about it, then tilted her head cutely.
"So, suppose you didn't know my prophecy, what would you do if you encountered such a situation?" Lieyan asked again.
"…It's also an apology. Bert's words hurt that boy, and I was the cause of that incident…"
Aisi buried her face between her knees, as thin as a mosquito's.
"As a result, has there been any change?"
"Maybe not."
"That's why I said my predictions are beyond vulgarity. Although they are not shit, they are also useless. I just told you in advance what you would do later and gave you the time when it might happen. That's all."
Lieyan spread his hands and made a helpless expression.
"If there is any reason why you failed to fulfill the prophecy, it is that you are not strong enough."
"I'm not strong enough?"
Ai Si raised her head and looked at Lieyan's golden eyes which slowly widened with dark pupils, and she whispered as if she had just woken up from a dream.
"That's right. It's because you're not strong enough that you failed to catch the fleeing rabbit. If you were more resolute, reacted faster, made up your mind faster, and discovered the situation earlier, wouldn't you have been able to stop the rabbit?"
Lieyan said leisurely, encouraging Ai Si.
Aisi, I agree with you.
Squinting her beautiful golden eyes, Ai Si thought along the lines of Lie Yan's words. If she had been stronger at that time, would she have been able to break free from the shackles of her heart and follow the direction indicated by the street girl who also chased out the door to arrest the escaped rabbit?
the answer is.
can.
The pace of an adventurer.
Would that change things?
Most definitely.
In Aisi's heart, the little person was shouting.
"Yes, I'm not strong enough. I have to become stronger."
It was like a flame ignited in her chest, and the gloom on Ai Si's face disappeared without a trace in an instant, and was replaced by a full spirit of fighting spirit.
"Cheer up?"
"Well, thank you, Flame."
Ais stood up again, and the rapier that was leaning against the tree root returned to her hand.
"That's fine." Lieyan stood up and patted the grass leaves on his body.
"So, Lieyan, fight with me." Ai Si held a rapier and solemnly invited Lieyan.
Lieyan: "?? Why are we talking about fighting again?"
