Chapter 203: Everything is Within Canary

~9 min read 1,788 words

However, to be fair, simply letting Canary retire and wait for death in this world is still a bit too wasteful for Su Nian.

As a qualified Fictional Historian, how could Su Nian's subordinate not be a fictionalized one?

Just like Gallagher, a character fictionalized by utilizing the traits of the fifty-two members of the Family in Pinocony.

Su Nian can also try to fictionalize a character that does not exist.

Of course, the technical prototype actually comes from the Fantasy Heroic Spirits of the Type-Moon World, just like the pseudo-Heroic Spirit born based on the wish that Jeanne d'Arc should take revenge.

Based on Canary's hatred for Ouroboros and her obsession with the Alliance, combined with the knowledge of the Hedonist, the first fictional creature of Little Garden was fictionalized—Fictional Canary.

Although it might not necessarily have Canary's wisdom, it is enough to pin the blame on Canary.

Everything is that lord's plan.

Everything is within Canary's calculations (forced truth).

And the so-called Fictional Historian is even more of a byproduct produced by Canary attempting to break through to Four-Digit Exceptional as a Poet.

Little Garden has one and only one Fictional Historian, and that is our Lord Canary!!

And the one who raised Izayoi Sakamaki in this world was merely a clone fictionalized by Canary.

The real Canary had long since joined Angra Mainyu and become the other party's advisor.

Moreover, Su Nian was quite malicious, writing Canary's Unofficial History right in front of her.

"Fictional Historian? What you've written here is truly wild and full of shit."

Canary didn't know when she had run behind Su Nian, stood on tiptoe, and looked from Su Nian's shoulder at the content Su Nian was writing.

Breaking through to Four-Digit Exceptional? Laughable, if only she were that capable.

For a Poet to break through to Four-Digit Exceptional, not only must they write legendary poems, but the most important thing is not to excessively consume their Spirit Status.

When a Poet modifies History, they burn their Spirit Status; it was only because Arcadia was still around, bringing influence, Merit, and various treasures that could replenish Spirit Status, that she was able to maintain her Spirit Status at Four-digit Legendary.

Otherwise, she would have long since died from Spirit Status atrophy.

However, because of the excessive use of the Poet's Spirit Status power, she had long since lost the opportunity to become Four-Digit Exceptional.

Arcadia had two Four-Digit Exceptionals; one was Kasukabe Takaaki, and the other was Leticia, who could transform into the Zodiac Dragon.

As Leticia, who once established the Layer Master system, her Four-Digit Exceptional strength was the most basic guarantee.

But now that the Sun Authority is sealed, the Demon King Game is bugged, and even her Divinity is lost, Leticia is only at the Five-digit level.

After accepting the Spirit Status of the Blood Clan Progenitor gifted by Su Nian, she has already recovered to the Four-digit level.

Watching the words on the book in Su Nian's hand fly off the pages one by one, turning into "real" History.

Canary couldn't quite laugh anymore.

"My Lord, Brother, Kami-sama... can you not use my identity?"

The name Angra Mainyu alone is enough to bring her fear, and now she has even become His advisor.

Do you have to scare a useless bird like her this much?

"I can recommend someone whose identity is absolutely suitable for taking the blame."

"And it can greatly enhance your status in Leticia's heart."

"What do you think of the leader of the 【Fantasy Grimoire Group】, Fantasy? Let me tell you, he is the one who caused Leticia to fall into being a Demon King."

"And as for the current situation of the Vampires in Little Garden, he contributed at least half of it."

"So... My Lord, look..."

Canary rubbed her hands anxiously; she discovered that she really, truly couldn't carry this black pot.

This would really kill a bird, the kind that would be dragged out and whipped even after death.

"When did you appear, and when I was fictionalizing you, did I not include the components of the Hedonist?"

Moreover, the completion of the 【Chronicles of Unofficial History】 also owes thanks to the contribution of this famous guy in Little Garden who is no less than Canary in terms of being a Poet.

It was precisely by digesting his memories that Su Nian was able to complete the 【Chronicles of Unofficial History】.

However, it is a pity that the other party's memory loss is significant, and some parts were even encrypted; Su Nian didn't dare to touch those memories.

Fortunately, the memories regarding the Poet's inheritance and knowledge were not missing at all.

Perhaps this bit of Poet's inheritance really isn't important.

"Fuck!"

The expression on Canary's face twisted instantly; she had finally thought of someone to take the blame, only to find they had already been used.

"Then Or..."

But before Canary's words could be spoken, they were covered by Su Nian.

"If you really want to die, just recite that name."

"That is the Avatar of that person."

Before transmigrating, Su Nian had heard rumors from who knows where that Orpheus was a name Heitian had used during his human period.

Not knowing if it was true or false, he simply believed it as true.

Although there is a saying in Little Garden that humans cannot become Three-digit, the method to break it is very simple: after becoming Four-Digit Exceptional, isn't it enough to just stop being human?

Just like Shakyamuni; before He became Three-digit, Little Garden did not have the concept of Buddha, and the Gods and Buddhas at that time were still called Divine Spirits.

And after He became Three-digit, He became a Buddha, so wasn't He no longer human?

And after He became Two-digit, the term Divine Spirits was replaced by Gods and Buddhas.

Su Nian also gained a deeper understanding of Canary's scumminess; she could betray her own mentor and fosterer so easily.

Tsk, worthy of being Little Garden's number one scum.

But Canary revealed a look of realization; she probably understood why she was called Canary, and what this treatment, which was like hospice care, was all about.

The final gentleness of a former teacher?

"Forget it, I can't be bothered to talk nonsense with you."

Su Nian shook his head and stopped paying attention to Canary; Canary was of no use now.

Even if Canary died, he could already pin the blame on Canary.

Sometimes, the dead are much more useful than the living.

Subsequently, Su Nian's figure shattered and transformed back into a sheet of white paper, preparing to begin constructing the history of the conversation that had just taken place between Bull Demon King, Kuroa, and Canary.

As for Su Nian, he had never been here at all.

"Not cool, I don't need this kind of comfort."

Canary suddenly spoke up and cursed.

Although she prided herself on being the number one wise person of Little Garden, she was just like her name—a canary, a canary that had always been trapped in a birdcage.

For some reason, she felt a bit envious of the version of her that Su Nian had constructed; at the very least, that one was much freer than she was.

Now, Canary could not even be certain that her dream of establishing the Layer Master Alliance had originated from herself.

In the airtight birdcage arranged by Orpheus, a ray of light appeared that absolutely did not belong to His arrangements.

For Canary, who had lived in a birdcage since she was young, this was an opportunity—an opportunity to break free from the birdcage.

Just like when Kuroa Balong took her away from Dystopia, as one of the very few, or perhaps the only, existence to have birthed a self within Dystopia.

Canary's rebellious heart was severe; others wanted her to have a relatively good ending, but she insisted on the opposite.

After her rebellious heart was stirred, Canary looked at that piece of paper and asked curiously.

"Actually, I think I could be of help to you."

"So, when you're stirring up trouble, can you take me along?"

"Actually, I think this Fictional Historian is quite interesting."

The next moment, Su Nian's figure appeared once again; he scrutinized Canary carefully and said without the slightest hesitation.

"Sorry, I don't trust your character."

However, Su Nian still implanted a Magic Card into Canary's body to ensure that when Canary died, she would die in the form of the constructed Avatar.

In this way, this real Canary would completely become a fake.

"Damn it!"

Canary's expression became even more twisted; she now felt some regret—why hadn't she established a compassionate Mother of God persona for herself?

Why did she have to have the persona of a scummy woman?

However, Su Nian still managed to capture Canary's twisted expression at this moment quite well; perhaps it could be used as a bargaining chip in the future.

A flustered and exasperated Canary—that should be a rare sight, right?

Then, Su Nian happily began constructing history to cover up the real history.

Kuroa and Bull Demon King were still very cooperative; they even voluntarily deleted their memories of this period of time, just to ensure they wouldn't give the game away.

They were still capable of distinguishing what was light and what was heavy; the cover-up was, after all, a form of protection for them.

Only Canary looked awkward; having finally seen the light outside the birdcage, she really did not want to lose this experience.

To continue being that canary trapped in a cage.

Even if this ending might not be too good.

Canary sighed, somewhat despairingly accepting this ending that had long been arranged.

"Perhaps, this is the true punishment for me?"

What number one wise person of Little Garden?

It was clearly the number one ornamental bird of Little Garden—a canary trapped in a birdcage, unable to leave until death.

Regretful? Su Nian, however, showed no reaction, still expressionlessly constructing history.

And he silently increased his output toward Canary.

That fellow Canary was attempting to preserve this information by writing poetry.

But a very unfortunate fact was that, from beginning to end, they had been in a constructed small world.

The real history was that Canary, Kuroa, and Bull Demon King were chatting about what exactly happened on the night Arcadia was attacked.

Of course, the ones communicating outside were actually the constructed Canary and the others, while the ones communicating in the constructed small world were the true bodies.

It was merely a simple Displacement Magic.

Fiction and reality—who could tell them apart?

The authority of the Fictional Historian was thus constructed and completed.
