All my life I acted like the youngest child, and in fact I was smaller and more fragile than anyone else. So for the first seven years of my life, I was able to live with everyone loving me, praising me, and watching over me.
I can see now that I was enjoying the best position in this world.
But I am no longer the youngest child.
I didn't feel like an adult yet, but I was starting to feel close to it.
When I saw Tida and her sister Sis in pain, I wanted to do something about it.
The whole time we were talking, I couldn't get the words "the 'magic' that makes everyone (...) happy" out of my mind. And in that nobody (...), people other than special characters such as "The One Who Stole the Reason" and "The Apostle" are also properly included.
I used to be unable to remember other people's names and faces at all, but recently I've started to remember them little by little.
When I think of those people's faces and the horrors of the other world, I feel an inexplicable heat.
I thought that the wish of my master to be "all together" had spread to me before I knew it, but that's not all.
I must have come to love living in this world.
Maybe it was just a hobby, but ever since reading began to exert its extraordinary power, I've been reading the world itself as if it were my favorite book.
But that best book is coming to an end.
The path to the last page prepared by Sister Yangtaki is perfect. The story of the Master, The One Who Stole the Reason, The Apostle, and the people who live in this world - the story of "everyone" can never escape from that.
So I'm moving on.
To borrow Legacie's words, I think this was the moment I finally got serious.
''--Sis Sis, do you know what a magic circle is?''
Seriously, I'm going to start dropping 'everything' just for my (...) 'magic (...)'
I know that ....... It's one of my plans that I'm thinking about right now. But why would you ...... it?
The Sisu sister hesitated for a bit before answering honestly.
In order for a master to "become a monster," he needs a way to gather a large amount of magic power from a wide area like a magic circle.
As expected, a magic circle was built into the story.
I interrupted the story, convinced that Sister Sis was Sister Yotaki's pawn.
I took out a book with the 'Blood Power' technique written in it from my pocket and showed the pages of the 'Magic Stone Line' to Sis sister.
''Look at this ....... Sis, I think I can help you create a magic circle. I'm already the only one who studies the "magic stone line". Heehee.
There is a magic book there that describes almost the same type of magic circle that the Lord used.
Using that book, I will try to trick, manipulate, and guide the Sith sister, just like the Youtaki sister.
''Tiara ...... While you weren't showing up, did you take over the research on that one? Sure, this is a slightly different technology than the one I know: ....... It's not quite as good as the Lord, but it's moderately interesting.
Right? With this 'blood power', I'll help my Sith sister too. From now on, let's join forces and save the world together?
Because I love Sister Sis, I will continue to do my best to 'defraud' her.
At this time, I knew to myself that I was smiling the same smile that I used to have with my sister Yotaki. And with that exact same smile, Sis sister is being fooled again and again.
''Of course you're welcome to ...... as well! Let's do it together! We're friends, aren't we!
My sister was so lonely, and she couldn't bear to have her heart broken, and she let the enemy, me, join her.
''Well then, I'll start by giving you my idea of a 'World Consecration Camp'. If you see something wrong or a place that needs to be changed, let me know--
The entire plan will be made public.
The outline of Sister Sith's 'World Dedication Formation' was very simple and quick, just like her.
Through a continent-wide "Level Up", the magical power of all living creatures was gathered in one place to create a vessel that would carry "everything" on its back.
In the middle of that process, I heard that about 90% of the creatures will melt and disappear once, and I knew that this was the reason why they were incompatible with Apostle Diprakra-sama.
Incidentally, the one who was chosen to be the bearer of "Everything" was Northfield Hoosiers, the one who steals the logic of light.
There is no doubt that she is the best one in 'The One Who Steals the Reason'. She is skilled in gathering magic power, and her devotional nature is also a favorite of the Sith sister.
''-- Tiara! The One Who Steals the Light's Reason can expand its vessel as far as it can by absorbing the other The One Who Steals the Reason! It's exactly what I was born to do, to take on 'everything'! It's ......, so I'll never get caught in the upper limit like I did with Yotaki.
Sister Sis boasted of the power of The One Who Steals the Reason of Light as if it were her own achievement, and then she mentioned Sister Youtaki's name with a divine look on her face.
After reflecting on the last time, she doesn't intend to have any elements of failure--
Besides, that doll's body was specially made. You can easily add to it later by altering it. It's very flexible and can be adapted to any situation. This plan is perfect, it's perfect, it can't fail ......!
This plan will always fail very boldly.
The reason for this is simple: the magic power gathered is designed so that it cannot be poured into the One Who Steals the Reason for Light.
As I check the unfinished magic circle stretched on the ground in Hoozeyer's, I'm convinced that the magic circle is incomplete.
This magic circle is lacking in key areas and is designed to fail in a last minute runaway.
Normally, it seems to leave about ten percent of humanity and melt only what is needed - a trap has been set up to run out and kill all living things.
In the runaway, the only one who is set to not melt is the 'Gentile'. As a result, the master who has survived alone in the other world has obtained all the magic power and this is what happens.
"After the outburst of the 'World Bongbows', Aikawa Uzumi couldn't even die and was forced to live an infinite amount of time alone. It was enough time to go mad. There was also enough magic power to make the demon come to him. Finally, Aikawa Uzumi tried his hand at resuscitating the dead from the outside world. The only person who was able to successfully resuscitate her was her younger sister, Yotaki, who had been spared from the 'World Consecration Squad' because of the same 'Gentile'.
That was the last page I was most reluctant to admit.
Not only does it leave us both behind, but it's an ending that doesn't save anyone.
--I hate this ending.
But the more I touch "The World's Propagation Squad" to make sure, the more I realize that it's hard to stop this from now on.
It's not only that the keystone is guarded by the aristocrats of the Hoozeyer's who are fascinated by the apostles ...... simply because it was designed to go out of control if the World Apocalypse is missing.
After enough thought, I calmly reversed my previous statement.
--This 'World Consecration Formation' should not be stopped and should be used.
I allowed ninety percent of humanity to melt away for the sake of my purpose.
I've been thinking about this for a long time, but there are too many "curses" in this world. Even before the story of sister Yotaki bringing the 'curse' into the world, it's so terminal that a dark cloud is created by magic power.
The only way to get out of this situation, even temporarily, is through the World Service Squad.
For example, because the "thieves" have not cleared up their debts, they have been piling up interest and spreading their misfortune endlessly.
If that's the case, the first thing I want to do is to activate the World Service Force to pay off the curse.
On top of that, I'll store the gathered magic power so that it can't be poured into 'The One Who Steals the Reason of Light' or my master - or anyone else, for that matter.
If I were to store it, a place like that other world's underground space would be ideal.
What's important here is that when people dissolve, they also take out their souls with the 'dimensional power' of the example. We will store both magic and souls and rebuild them when appropriate.
............
It's not easy, but the odds are there for us to win.
Rather, the odds are now in our favor.
This is because if the 'World Consecration Formation' is successfully activated, it will be a 'do-over' due to the sudden decrease in humanity.
Clearly, there was nothing on this continent, this continent, that was not already in the hands of Sister Yangtaki.
That's why I'm going to turn the board over once.
It's not a good idea to have a good time with them.
When it comes to dispelling the 'curse', the moment that the board is broken will surely be the most unfortunate day in the world.
Nevertheless, I decided, of my own accord, to turn all the cracked pieces into new ones.
I don't care if the entire human race hates me as long as it's for the sake of my "magic" that makes everyone happy.
Even if the people I love hate me, I vow to 'start over' even if they hate me - and after thinking this far, I start acting disappointed.
'--Hmmm. ...... I'm sorry, Sis. It seems I can only help you with the basics in the magic circle. Oh, of course, I'll give you my own advice! But I'm just wondering if it's a little difficult for me to get the 'magic circle' of an apostle: ......
When he had just finished hearing the details of The World Consecration Squad from Sister Sis, he proudly told a lie that was convenient for him.
When I thought to myself that the way he was doing it was becoming similar to Yotaki sister, Sis sister nodded back regretfully.
''So, yeah ....... And that's very helpful! It's so reassuring just to have you looking out for me!
I'm glad. Then I'll do what I can do. I'm going to take advantage of the technology of the magical stone line to reinforce the magic circle. I'll do various things around the place.
...... Yes, please. Tiara.
I only got the information about the 'World Dedication Squad' and left the Hoozeyards Castle.
At that time, the Sith sister behind me looked as if she wanted me to stay with her, but she never looked back.
From this day on, I started to go around the base point of the 'World Devotional Formation' as declared, and start reinforcing it with 'blood power' to prevent it from running out of control.
''For the sake of my Sith sister, let's get this over with ....... In order to do that, I have to prepare my (...) 'magic (...)' first--
-- and while doing so, I began to spread the word 'magic' throughout the Hoosiers.
I traveled the world, coming and going from one door to another.
The missionary work of "magic" that had once been left to the masters was now called "magic" and repeated.
The missionary method is also very different from before.
I handed out the magic stones extracted from the fire and water as usual, and taught the techniques for passing magic power through them.
The purpose of using the magical stones is to reduce the 'cost' of using them and make it easier to use them.
In the past, Master had written the book to suppress the "cost", and this magical stone was used to take over the role of the book.
The "spellcasting" that master spread was so costly that just making a fire would cause vague memories, and just generating wind would cause you to become intoxicated. That's why people were happy to see the appearance of this "magic" without "cost".
I think there were other reasons for the spread of magic.
It's the existence of the magic used by the winged race (...) in fairy tales.
When they claimed that the technology that existed more than a thousand years ago was being revived now, everyone believed it.
It may be that people's lives have become more and more difficult since the outbreak of the Great War. There were really few people who rejected the advent of that useful technology.
During the course of that missionary work, I felt that it was inefficient for me to spread it alone, so I even went around teaching the basics of the 'Dimensional Power' to the talented ones.
With this, the amount of magic stones and 'magic' on the continent would explode. I knew that the balance of power would be unbalanced, but in the end, I gave it a big shot because I was going to 'start over'
-- Little by little, people believe in the two words 'magic'.
This is also the reason why people in various parts of the world believe in the word "magic", even if it's just a little bit.
In order to gather up the "cost", I hurriedly prepared an idol.
I had learned how to do it in the city of Fania.
We'll do that Altfel cult on a larger scale.
When it emerges, I will use the 'sprout of a new religion' that Romis Neysha once missed out on. What he had carefully nurtured with the intention of starting with his master as the "founder" is used here.
By the way, the object of my faith is that 'Lord'.
Of course, just like Romis Neesha, I'm going to alter it later and take it away entirely from him. After the "World Devotional Squad" is activated and no one is left, I'll repaint the object of faith, the "Founder", and everything else as "Tiara Fusoya's".
Finally, consider the name of the religion.
I thought it could simply be 'The Old Lord's Teachings', but I wanted to leave the word 'Lord' off for later.
I know that even the name is 'compensatory' and that's why I'm sticking with it.
Ideally, it's a name that only I know comes with a 'price'.
"--Levanism (・・・・・)
I mingled my knowledge with otherworldly books and uttered one of the words I had coined.
I proclaimed that it means 'divine magic' to the congregation, but it's actually the word 'false curse'.
It would be a fraud.
But the war-weary people believed in this 'doctrine of falsely imposing a curse on them under the guise of holiness' without question.
It was a bargain, I think to myself, even though I am a guru, that when I joined, it came with a useful 'magic'
--In this way, as the war between the "Northern League" and the "Southern League" raged on, the Levantine religion secretly spread across the continent.
At that time, I heard about my master's activities in the "Northern League" through rumors in the wind.
Like me, I heard that he is strengthening the 'Northern League' by any means necessary. In particular, he seems to be cooperating with two men - 'The One Who Steals the Reason of Wood' Aide and 'The One Who Steals the Reason of Nothingness' Serdra - to spread the knowledge of the other world.
More time passes as I mock myself for the fact that our world is steadily being undermined by other worlds.
When the missionary work has come to a close, I will master the 'power of dimension'.
For the sake of 'magic' in the future, that power was also essential.
'--Ha, ha, ha, ha ......! Finally, it's done. ...... Oh, should I name it? Then this is the Purple Arm of the Dimension. -- Shall I turn it into a magical 'Illusory Purple Arm'?
I had always used only my fingertips to pull out the magic stone, but I was able to make the purple magic power cling to one arm.
The arm was shaking and unstable like a mirage illusion, but this is the perfection of 'dimensional power'.
If it's more power than this, it would have to be impossible to do so with your entire life.
''It was a 'magic' incident, but ...... I wonder if Master is okay with this for now.
With the magic 《Phantom Purple Arm》, it would be possible to bring Master back to his senses. This is because this is the very 'possibility of reversing my sister's death' that Master needs.
However, I still won't be able to meet Master.
It's still not enough, my skill 'reading' read.
"Tiara Fuzzyards found a way to change Aikawa Uzumi's fate by uniquely mastering the 'power of dimension'. The purple-armed girl walks with hope to prevent the person she admires from becoming a 'monster'. However, what awaits beyond that is--
However, in the middle of that page, a somewhat nostalgic voice said, "...... tiara (・・・・). If you've chosen that path, how about this one? I felt as if my sister Yotaki's words were in there.
Today, at this time, as if she knew that I would complete my 'dimensional power' and read the future with the skill 'reading' -.
"At the end of the road, Tiara Fuzzyards succeeded in bringing Aikawa Uzumi back to his senses with the 《Phantom Purple Arm》. The great war that engulfed the world would come to an end. At that time, the two of them were finally able to share their feelings with each other. A few years later, they became a married couple and began to spend many years trying to revive Aikawa Yotaki. Despite the obstacle of the Curse, they survived hand in hand, and every day was truly a blessing for them. And at the end of it all, Tiara Hoozeyers dies of old age in the arms of her lover. She finishes paying off the 'curse' that she kept escaping while thanking the world that she really enjoyed it--
The page called "The page that says "The page that says "The page that says "The page that says "The page that says "The page that says "The page that says "The page that says "The page that says
''Ha, ha, ha ......!
My breath is disturbed by the overuse of skills.
Apparently, in recognition of my growth after overcoming the 'curse' of death, Sister Yotaki has upgraded the ending from 'the ending of dying in my master's memory for the rest of my life' to 'the ending of staying with my master until old age and death'.
Even though I knew that new suggestion was a trap, it was so appealing that my resolve was shaken.
After all, 'all together' is an unfulfilled dream.
The 'equality' with that Aikawa Yotaki is also not realistic.
The Tiara Fuzzyards can't even chase after them as a 'stealer of reason'.
Then the ideal ending for Tiara Foodsayers is to live with her beloved Aikawa Uzumi for the rest of her life and have a happy ending--
No way. ......! Su, Skills ...... and "Reading" ......
I strained my voice and put my skills to an all-time high by calling out names.
And even the possible future if (...) I would get my hands on it and read it.
But all of the futures within my power to read - and all of the futures within my power to read - are
For example, "I convinced Uzumi Aikawa that I could help Yotaki Aikawa, and then take her back to my world. In the underground space where the "thread" cannot reach, I let my loved ones know the truth about the world".
However, it ends with a page titled "Tiara Fuzzyaz dies of old age in the arms of her lover.
For example, "With the help of Lord Eyed Seldora in the 'Northern League', he will try to counter Aikawa Yotaki. The future is read as "I will gather the best forces of this world to face her after she returns to life.
However, it ends with a page titled "Tiara Huzu Yaz is dying of old age in the arms of her lover.
For example, "He unified the continent and installed Aikawa Yotaki as the enemy of the Levantine religion. With the help of the Apostles, they will continue to defend themselves against invasions from other worlds." The future reads, "The continent will be unified and Aikawa Yotaki will be installed as an enemy of the Levantine religion.
However, it ended with "Tiara Huzuarz died of old age in the arms of her lover.
--No matter what course I took, I finally got rid of the "curse" and it became "Tiara Huseyers dies of old age in the arms of her loved ones.
I was left behind, while my master was still young.
I knew I was not strong enough, and my voice leaked out of the back of my throat.
I don't want to ......, I will never, ever finish ......
Muttering to himself, he walked like a ghost through the Hoosier's Castle.
I had a guess to replenish the missing power.
As part of the 'Magic' plan, I walked into the 'Magic Stone Human' research institute on the grounds.
The usual bookshelves on the ground floor of the tower are lined with bookshelves, so I went straight to the third floor where a full-scale experiment was being conducted. There used to be two people here, Legacy and Yotaki's sister, but neither of them are here any more. The "stealer of the reason for light" completed here has not returned from the front lines either.
''Hi, Princess-sama ......?''
One of Hoosiers' excellent researchers noticed me suddenly appearing and called out to me.
I mimicked sister Yotaki's smile as I replenished what I was missing.
''Yihihi, there's a little something I want ....... So, I'll take it. --Magic 《Blood》
He lightly bit the palm of his hand with his teeth to create a wound and used his magic.
He then sucked up blood from the corpses of the piled up 'demons' and drank from the wounds. He didn't dare to extract the souls with the 'dimensional power', but instead used the 'blood power' to collect them.
Of course, the magical power contained in this thick stench of death is also all mine.
''Hee--!
By the time the researchers let out a short scream of surprise, they had gone from every possible corpse to dried up, and all blood and magic was gone from the tower.
'I'm sorry. But don't worry, I'll be rooting around to bring you a new corpse soon.
...... Yes.
I have no intention of destroying this institute.
Rather, I've been relying on this place to get things done.
Also, I need you to do something for me here. Okay?
And ......, of course. Princess Tiara.
Hihihihi. Good. I was wondering what I'd do if they said no: ......
From this day onwards, this research institute will not only study the 'Magic Stone Man' but also my blood.
I wanted to recreate the peace that I had created in Phania with the blood of 'The One Who Stole the Reason of Fire' in the past, but this time I wanted to recreate it with my blood.
After finishing one of my plans, I return to the other world's underground space to take refuge.
There, I bring a large number of blank books with me and continue my 'reading'.
'More, with skill ......, if you don't read ahead ....... More, a lot more, read .......
He poked his knee in the middle of that pile of books and muttered as he turned over.
'No, you can't just read ....... If you don't change beyond that, it's useless .......
I hold a quill in my hand and write words on a blank book.
By moving my hands as well as my head, I reinforce the power of the skill 'reading'.
If "Convince Aikawa Uzumi and bring him back to his original world" isn't enough, I add "Bring the black armor of the other world to my side.
I also added a large number of words to "summon the top demons in each area" and "draw out the Lord of the deepest part of the world" and so on. --
"Not enough. ......
No matter how much I wrote, the future would never be a place where I could escape from "Tiara Fouzouya's dying of old age in the arms of her lover".
In the midst of wondering how to add to the story to change the ending, I thought I was writing too slowly.
So I ditch the idea of writing a story with human hands.
'I don't have enough hands .......' -- "Magic [Blood]
It spat out the blood it had sucked out of the wound in its palm.
It wriggled like a living thing, crawling across the blank book of paper around it. Then, in red-black blood-colored letters, all kinds of futures were written on the paper.
First of all, he wrote on the paper what the future would look like if "I have pulled out my sister Yangtaki's magic stone from now on".
Then I wrote what would happen if my master refused to do so and what would happen if he agreed to do so. And in the case of "collaborated with Nosfi Fooziers" and "collaborated with Seldora Queen Fillion". In each case, you have "escaped" or "fought" or "talked to" or "won". If and when you "lose", if and when you "lose", if and when you "lose", if and when you "lose"--
As I wrote out an infinite number of branches of the future, my consciousness gradually drifted away.
I was so focused on the future that I had lost track of where I was and what I was doing now.
No matter how much the value of "Wisdom" was raised by the "Level Up", this task was so burdensome that it burned out my brain.
Even so, in my fuzzy consciousness, I continued to 'write'.
''Still ......, not enough ......''
The blank paper that I immediately brought in was all filled with letters.
With the "Power of Dimension" - while reading it with 《Dimension》, he continued to move the blood with 《Blood》. In the extremes of fatigue and ill health, he no longer moved his eyes and arms. But next, he wrote the Blood on the stone floor of the underground space, on the stone walls, on the stone ceiling.
'There's a place to write: ......, not enough ......'
This also filled up in a few days, and then I turned my attention to the magic stone.
With the 'writing' work up to this point, I knew that the magic stone was good for 'reading' and the blood was good for 'writing'.
Even if there was another 'magic formula' written on the magic stone, he would forcefully overwrite it with the 'blood's power'.
The inside of the Demon Stone was truly vast, and there was a blank space to write on that was incomparable to a paper book or a stone wall.
But when one problem was solved, another problem would emerge.
'Next up: ......, time, not enough ......'
The speed at which I read the future and the speed at which I write the future is no longer beyond the bounds of humanity.
But the object I was comparing it to was never satisfactory, thanks to my Youtaki sister. And because he was assuming sister Youtaki, he knew exactly how to solve the problem.
''Sorcery ......, no, magic 《level up》......''
I will consume the magic power I have collected and replicate the cells in my body.
In addition, when I no longer need to waste power to fight, I convert all possible magic power into white 'threads'.
Through repeated 'level-ups', I was originally proud of my 'cleverness' number, which was higher than that of ordinary people.
As a result of the intentional conversion, a single white thread that wasn't fully contained within my body came out of my body, and then - and this is what happened.
f*ck!
The moment it touched the air, an intense pain shot through his entire body.
A numbness that felt as if the entire skin had been peeled off, and a shock that felt as if my stomach and intestines had been pulled out of my throat.
My vision and thoughts flashed and I hit the ground face first.
But the pain of that white 'thread' is so thick that the pain of my nose being crushed feels raw and easy.
'Hah, hah, hah ......!
The white 'thread' had disappeared, failing to convert.
I get up and move on, regretting that I couldn't stand the pain.
Returning to my former world, I walk along the walls inside Hoosier's Castle to replenish what I'm missing again.
''Heehee ......, I'm not patient enough ......, either.
My health was beginning to deteriorate, but I wouldn't stop.
At this time, I was thinking of my sister Youtaki, who was manipulating countless white 'threads'.
She was always alone in the garden, writing a book, smiling and waiting for me to return. I can still vividly remember the promise we made that day.
I said, "'Promise'! Sister Youtaki looked happy when she shook his hand. She nodded a small, "Yes, it's a 'promise' ...... and said that she could finally get serious.
''It's still not enough to be an 'equal' .......
My idea of 'all together' includes Yotaki's sister too.
There's not a single person who is an exception to my "magic (...)".
However, I haven't even become 'equal' to Yotaki's sister yet.
There were too many things I lacked.
Hands, brains, skills, strength, patience, and most of all--
Quickly, or else: ......
The lack of time is critical.
I knew from the work up to this point that the limit of my preparation time was the 12th year of the new calendar.
In every future, the year when Master will "become a monster" just like his sister is nearing.
--But just before that, I will find out.
I will meet the one who can solve everything that is lacking.
I thought it was meaningful that the one who prepared the solution was none other than Aikawa Uzumi.
