"Ah? Let Ellie recognize me as her godfather?"

Faced with the red-haired chief's strange proposal, Leon, who was called back after Emma left, couldn't help but ask back with a puzzled look:
"why?"

"For...never mind, I just mentioned it."

After a slight hesitation, the red-haired director waved his hand to indicate that Leon didn't need to care about what he said before, and then asked with expectation:

"Little Leon~ Emma will be on a mission again soon, so Ellie will probably have to stay at your house for a while longer... This shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"No problem at all."

After nodding slightly, Leon frowned and thought for a moment, then vaguely guessed the reason for "recognizing a godfather".

I guess Senior Emma felt that since she was already married, it wasn't appropriate for little Ellie to stay in her home all the time, so she wanted to ask the director to take care of her.

However, with the director's poor self-care ability, he couldn't even keep a turtle alive, so how could he take care of a child? So this bad idea of ​​finding a godfather was probably something she came up with on the spur of the moment.

"I knew I couldn't hide it from you..."

After looking at Leon's expression, realizing that he should have guessed the reason, the red-haired director couldn't help but blink helplessly, then opened a bottle of White Bear Fresh Beer on the table and handed it to Leon with reluctance.

"Do me another favor and drink the wine on the table."

"?"

Looking at the beer handed to him, Leon was startled for a moment, and then asked in confusion:

"Didn't you ask me to bring this wine back? Why did you ask me to drink it? What about you?"

"I'm too embarrassed to drink."

With a sad face, he picked up the snow lime wine on the table, uncorked the bottle and put his nose close to it. After smelling the unique sweet fragrance like honey, the red-haired director sighed and said:
"Although I didn't do it, after I looked at the wedding crystal ball, I did acquiesce to the plan of that bad woman from the Pisces Branch. I...anyway, I am really sorry to Emma and to you about your wedding."

"???"

What the hell? What did you do?

"I...you should just look at it yourself."

He reached out and lightly tapped Leon's cufflinks, then stuffed all the wine on the table to the young Ha who had shown up. Then the red-haired director opened his big drawer, took out a pile of emerald green leaves, and laid them out on the table. Then he spoke with a hint of apology:

"Touch these copied crystal balls and you will know what I just said."

"?"

Faced with the red-haired director's incoherent request, Leon couldn't help but frown, and then he stretched out his hand and placed it on the leaves on the table as she asked.

"Zi~"

[Name: Remaining Leaves of Memory (Memory, Destruction)]

[Appearance: A crystal clear dark green leaf. If you reach out and touch it, you will come into contact with the memories stored inside.]

[Ability: memory replication, self-destruction]

[Cost: Depending on the length and complexity of the memory retained, a small amount of physical and mental energy will be consumed]

[File: The current director of the Pisces Branch, after watching the prophecy made by the current Great Witch King, copied part of her memory and injected it into seven different memory fragments, recording the seven different futures she saw. This is the first one.

After a human male named Leon Ryan "reads" the memory in the broken leaves, the corresponding broken leaves will wither on their own, turning from abnormal objects into ordinary withered leaves, and the memories stored inside will immediately dissipate.

[Evaluation: Burn after reading] [Infiltration value: 0.1]

……

A memory?
As Lyon looked a little surprised, the emerald green leaves curled up slightly and wrapped around his fingers, while the veins of varying thickness on the back of the leaves stuck tightly to his skin like tiny dark brown tentacles.

Then, a memory with a rather strange perspective, but not too different from the real situation, followed those tiny leaf veins and strangely flowed into his mind...

The succession ceremony of the Duke of Lionheart, the Central Cross Theatre and Master Wilde, the Tin Princess and the rebels rushing to the palace, the late-night secret meetings and mutual promises... Although there are many deviations in the specific details, it is actually basically consistent with my own experience.

As time continues to extend into the future, the memories that were originally barely clear begin to become more and more blurred, especially after reaching the "future" part, it is like someone poured ten kilograms of rapeseed oil into my eyes, and I can hardly recognize whether it is a person or a dog in the picture.

But even though the image quality is so blurry that even 360p videos are considered high-definition compared to it, the subsequent memories still clearly show some future scenes.

A blurry figure, probably a human, was holding another figure suspended in the air. Its hands seemed to be kneading plasticine, kneading the mountains and rivers at will, drastically changing the surrounding barren landscape.

As the "camera" gradually zoomed in, the blurry figure even paused, then made a movement that seemed to be turning back, nodded slightly in the direction of the "camera", and then raised his hand to lightly block it... the memory ended.

"This is……"

"This is the possible future after you marry Princess Veronica."

Facing Leon's surprised question, the red-haired director turned his head and took a sip of tea. Then he pointed at the other [Remembrance Leaves] on the table that had not withered yet, and said without turning his head:

"As for the rest, it's your future after you choose someone else to marry."

"?!!!"

What the hell?
Upon hearing this, Leon's pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly, and then he hurriedly reached out again and touched the second leaf.

The "heroine" of this leaf is not Veronica but Senior Emma, ​​and the content is quite different from her own experience.

In the memory revealed by this leaf, it seemed that Senior Emma had to complete several fewer missions after meeting him. Then she asked him for "help" and, with the help of the soul vision he provided, shot and killed her "ex-husband" the Marquis from two kilometers away.

Then the investigators from the Cleanup Bureau arrived. Although she tried to conceal the past at first, she was exposed by old man Camus, who was half of the Aquarius directors. Emma was taken away by the bureau. Fortunately, Aquarius was exposed by herself, so Emma was not punished for violating the rules.

Although this memory is very different from the real situation he knew, some things are still the same, for example, he still ate the three-headed dog god, and he also discovered that the tragedy of Senior Emma was actually planned by the incarnated doe of the Slaughter King Society.

But there were many "deviations" in the memory afterwards. In the future, little Ellie seemed to be affected by the doe and grew a pair of small antlers on her head. She had to tell the truth and then chased the angry senior Emma into the dead world...

"Understand?"

After looking at the rapidly withering leaves on the table and Leon's bewildered expression, the red-haired director couldn't help but sigh and said:
"The reason I said I was sorry, Emma, ​​is the future you just saw. After discovering the unusual behavior of the Pisces Branch, I found the director of the Pisces Branch, beat her half to death, and then forced her to tell me these things.

Then I was persuaded by her, and I could only acquiesce to some of her actions, causing Emma, ​​who could have been with you, to leave the capital for a long time because of the mission, and finally... In short, I am really sorry for you."

"..."

So...Is it possible that I could marry Emma-senpai?
Staring blankly at the two dead leaves on the table, thinking back to the future he had just seen with Senior Emma, ​​Lyon, with his heart pounding with excitement, could not help but fall into silence.

After a while, he calmed down a little, looked at the other leaves on the table, and murmured, asking:

"Then the rest..."

"The policewoman's, Ameen's from the police station, the businessman's daughter, and your sister Anna's."

"ah?!!!"
