I! Cleaner!

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

Faced with the strange proposal of the red-haired director, Leon, who was called back after Emma left, couldn't help but ask back with a puzzled look:

"Why?"

"For... forget it, 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 go on a mission again in a while, so Ellie will probably have to stay at your house for a while... This shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"Of course it's okay."

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

It is estimated that Senior Emma felt that she was already married, and it seemed a little inappropriate to let little Ellie stay at 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, I'm afraid he can't even keep a turtle alive, how can 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, he realized 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 in front of him, Leon was slightly startled, and then asked in confusion:

"Didn't you ask me to bring these wines back? Why do you want me to drink them? What about you?"

"I don't have the face to drink them."

With a sad face, he picked up the snow lime wine on the table, opened the cork 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 looking at the wedding crystal ball, I did acquiesce to the plan of the bad woman in the Pisces Branch. I... In short, I am really sorry for Emma and you on the issue of your wedding."

"???"

What a mess? What did you do?

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

Reaching out and lightly tapping Leon's cufflinks, after stuffing all the wine on the table to the emerging Youha, the red-haired director opened his big drawer, took out a pile of green leaves from it, and lined them up on the table, then said apologetically:

"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 reached out and touched the leaves on the table as she asked.

"Zi~"

[Name: Memory Remnant Leaf (Memory, Destruction)]

[Appearance: A crystal clear dark green leaf. If you actively reach out and touch it, you will touch the memory stored inside]

[Ability: Memory Reproduction, Self-Destruction]

[Cost: Depending on the length and complexity of the memory stored inside, 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 remnant leaves, recording the seven different futures she saw. This is the first one.

After a human male named Leon Ryan "read" the memory in the remnant leaf, the corresponding memory remnant leaf will wither on its own, and it will be restored from an abnormal object to a withered ordinary leaf, and the memory stored inside will also dissipate immediately]

[Evaluation: Burn after reading]

[Infection value: 0.1]

…

A memory?

In Leon's somewhat surprised expression, the green leaves curled slightly and wrapped around his fingers, and the veins on the back of the leaves, which were of varying thickness, were like tiny dark brown tentacles, tightly clinging to his skin.

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

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

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

But even though the image quality was so blurry that even 360p videos were considered high-definition compared to it, the subsequent memories still showed some of the future scenes.

A blurry figure, probably a person, was holding another figure suspended in the air, kneading the mountains and rivers as if kneading plasticine, drastically changing the surrounding barren landforms.

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

"This is..."

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

In response to Leon's surprised question, the red-haired director turned his head and took a sip of tea, then pointed to the other [Remembrance Leaves] on the table that had not withered, and said without looking back:

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

"?!!!"

What the hell?

Hearing this, Leon's pupils shrank 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 also quite different from his own experience.

In the memory shown by this leaf, Senior Emma seemed to have fewer missions after meeting him, and then asked him for "help". With the help of the soul vision provided by him, he shot and killed his "ex-husband" Marquis from two kilometers away.

Then the investigators of the Cleanup Bureau arrived. Although he tried to conceal the past at first, he was exposed by old man Camus, that is, half of the Aquarius director. Senior Emma was taken away by the bureau. Fortunately, Aquarius was exposed by himself, so Senior Emma was not punished for violating the rules.

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

But then the memory, but there are a lot of "deviations" again. In the future, little Ellie seems to be affected by the flesh doe, and a pair of small antlers grow on her head. She has to tell the truth, and then chases the angry senior Emma into the dead world...

"Get it?"

After looking at the leaves that are withering rapidly on the table, and then looking at Leon's somewhat dazed expression, the red-haired director couldn't help but sigh and said:

"The place where I am sorry for Emma is the future you just saw. After discovering the abnormal behavior of the Pisces Branch, I found the director of the Pisces Branch, beat her half to death, and then forced to ask these things.

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

"..."

So...I was very likely to marry Senior Emma?

Staring blankly at the two dead leaves on the table, thinking back to the future he had just seen with Senior Emma, ​​Leon, whose heart was in turmoil, could not help but fall into silence.

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

"The rest of these..."

"The policewoman's, Amien's from the bureau, the businessman's daughter, and your sister Anna's."

"Ah?!!!"
