September 1, 2014 AD is the day when all elementary, middle and high schools in Japan start school, and Saori Kido, who has reached 16 years old, should have started the second semester of her first year of high school in this still slightly hot September. life, but now she is not sitting in the car going to school.
Airport, this is Kido Saori’s arrangement today. As early as a week ago, Tatsumi, who was Kido Saori's housekeeper, had already informed today's schedule in advance, and Saori was also looking forward to this day.
After reuniting six years later, she, who was still a child at the time, made a promise to another person who didn't look like a child at all. Whenever she was in danger, the other person would become the hero to save her.
What would they have known at that time when they were not even 10 years old? When Saori was in school, she also told others about her agreement. It's just that maybe some people were envious of her when she was a child, but when she grows up, all her classmates will probably do is awkwardly agree.
However, Kido Saori has a completely different judgment from them. She has noticed since she was a child that she has abilities that are different from ordinary people, and she trusts the unpopular "intuition" more than the so-called "common sense".
Some people may think that the promise made by a child under 10 years old is just a joke, but Saori still believes that the boy who could step forward to save her in her most critical moment has now grown into a man of his own. Become a man.
What will he look like in 6 years
Kido Saori, who has reached the blooming age of 16, can't help but think of the person she has missed for 6 years. She still has that steady look with a bit of cynicism, or maybe it's the connection between the group. Important ties.
Sitting behind the black car, Saori was wearing a reddish-brown Japanese student uniform and carrying a black leather bag. She was looking at the approaching cross-sea bridge outside. Her eyes were dull, as if she was already lost in her own thoughts.
In the driver's seat in front, Tatsumi wore white gloves and still looked like a professional driver. When the previous owner Mitsumasa Kido was here, Tatsumi was both the housekeeper and the driver. Now that Saori Kido is the head of the family, Tatsumi, the driver, has become her personal exclusive.
After the car got out of Kido's mansion, Tatsumi kept talking one after another. It can be said that he is very anxious now, because Mitsumasa Kido's last words stated that he would reveal everything about Saori's life experience to Saori on his 16th birthday, and before that, he must strictly keep this secret, Never reveal even a single word.
And Tatsumi is worthy of being a loyal butler. He has indeed not revealed any information about the Sanctuary, the Saints and Athena for six years as Kido Mitsumasa arranged. It is precisely because of this that he feels troublesome now.
Tatsumi spoke in a hurry without getting to the most important point. It wasn't until he was about to get on the cross-sea bridge and not far from the destination airport that he got to the point. However, when he started to speak, he looked from behind. I noticed in the mirror that my lady seemed to be deserting.
"Miss! Miss! Miss Saori, are you listening to me?" Tatsumi put his hands on the steering wheel to drive the car fast and steady, and took advantage of the time to see his call in the rearview mirror. Kido Saori woke up from her thoughts, "Today is your 16th birthday. According to Master Mitsumasa's instructions, I have something to tell you!"
Saori woke up from thinking, Tatsumi cleared her throat and began to talk about Guangyu's original will of Mitsumasa Kido. Mitsumasa Kido was not only Saori's granddaughter. He had a son before his wife passed away in his early years. Unfortunately, he was not successful. In the end, he left a sum of money and let him commit suicide.
It was precisely because of the failure of his son's education that Mitsumasa Kido went to climb the Himalayas 16 years ago. At that time, Mitsumasa Kido only wanted to place his love on the mountains and rivers.
And after learning that the baby Saori was Athena, after spending several years getting along day and night, Mitsumasa Kido really raised Saori as his own granddaughter, so after his death, all the assets of the Kido Foundation were transferred In the name of Shaori.
The above asset transfer seems to be all the contents of the will, but the will is also divided into a second paragraph. And this second paragraph is the key content related to Saori. This is what Tatsumi is going to announce today. Mitsumasa Kido left a legacy for Saori that is more important than the money consortium.
"Hasn't Miss Saori been searching for the true identity of her power these years?" When Tatsumi drove the car onto the bridge, he began to explain the doubts in Saori's heart, "The true identity of Miss Saori's power is It’s a small universe! ”
"Little universe?"
Repeating the nouns Tatsumi just mentioned, Saori's face was full of doubts. This so-called small universe has shown healing ability in her body, but does this have any connection with the small universe
As if he could see the confusion and puzzlement on Saori's face in the rearview mirror, Tatsumi continued to explain: "Writing a tiny universe, a small universe! The late Mr. Mitsumasa told me to tell you when the young lady is 16 years old. This matter! And I have told you many times!!"
After hearing the true nature of her power, Saori no longer explored as she did in the past. She turned her head and looked at the sun that had just risen from the sea, as if she didn't care at all what her power meant.
"A long time ago, there was a goddess named Athena in ancient Greece. Athena, who protected peace, was also the goddess of war, but Athena herself did not like fighting! The so-called Athena war was a battle to protect Athena. This is what Mr. Guangzheng The results of the investigation!”
Just when Tatsumi truthfully relayed what Mitsumasa Kido said, it was obvious that he was not a very good storyteller. Listening to this old and boring story, Saori in the back seat couldn't help but sigh, as if he didn't know that Tatsumi What on earth are you doing telling such a clichéd story at this time
But Tatsumi will not stop because of this, he will continue to talk about Saori's identity.
"...Then, those warriors who fight to protect Athena are the Saints! For Athena, who hates weapons, the Saints wear holy clothes full of armor, and have bodies of flesh and blood that have been tempered. Fighters have developed methods to transform their inner fighting spirit into weapons! It is said that the sonic punch containing fighting spirit can tear the sky apart, and their kick can split the earth! That inner fighting spirit is the small universe!"
"Master Guangzheng originally wanted to use his own research to find young people with microcosmic potential from all over the world, send them to training sites, put them on the Saint Cloth of Guardian Constellation, and let them become Saints. All this is for Complete the mission of protecting Athena!"
When Tatsumi said this, Saori couldn't help but think of the five of Raku Yuan and the others. The five Raku Yuan were adopted by Mitsumasa Kido and then sent away again. At that time, Saori begged many times not to let them be sent away, but unfortunately Guangzheng did not agree to this request.
Now I think that the five Le Yuan who were sent away went to the training ground to train and become saints. But what is the reason for telling myself now? It’s hard to understand. Does she want to go even if she has a small universe
"Then I also want to practice and become a Saint? So do I have to go to the airport now?"
Saori looked at her hands with some confusion. They were such delicate and slender hands suitable for playing, and they didn't look like they could tear the sky apart.
"No, no! That's not the case!" Tatsumi's face turned red when he said this, and he said extremely excitedly, "If you want to tell me why, it's because you are the Athena, miss!"
"What?"
Saori was not surprised when she heard that Cosmos was the power of the Saint, but when she heard that she was the goddess Athena, her eyes widened and her mouth opened with an impossible look.
After all, today's era is no longer hundreds of years ago, and science is prevalent. Even if Saori has supernatural powers, she probably only thinks of them as human superpowers, and cannot connect herself with a god at all.
"I have contacted them and they have arrived today..."
Chen Si just wanted to tell Saori the news that Le Yuan and the others had returned, but the next second he caught a glimpse of a beam of light shining towards the place in front of his car.
Boom sizzle—
There happened to be three cars driving where the beam fell. When the beam collided, the first of the three cars was blown into the sky first, and the two following cars also rolled over.
Tatsumi, who was extremely experienced in driving, reacted quickly. The moment he saw the unknown attack, he turned the steering wheel with all his strength. The car immediately drew an arc and passed through the left end of the explosion.
But Tatsumi didn't even have time to relax. At this time, blue beams of light continued to fall on the bridge like rain, and all the places hit by the beam exploded without exception.
Tatsumi's driving skills were pretty good, but under the increasingly intensive attacks, Tatsumi's driving skills seemed a little lacking.
After avoiding several attacks in a row, the car driven by Tatsumi was unable to avoid them.
boom-
The car was still hit. Fortunately, the attack had no direct name on the car and only damaged one of its wheels. The whole car scraped against the guardrail for more than 30 meters before finally coming to a stop.
Tatsumi, who was sitting in the driver's seat, said to Saori behind him: "Escape quickly, miss!"
Saori, who was at a loss, suddenly heard a voice coming from outside the car.
"Don't worry, leave the rest of the battle to me. Uncle Tatsumi, take Saori and leave here first!"
