Chapter 48 (1/2)

Summary of the last chapter in three lines

Vast workshop.

True ident.i.ty exposed.

Orange stone.

「The stone’s name is Memory Stone. Long time ago, I made this as an experiment together with the elder, this is one of the samples.」

「Is this stone by any chance, can keep someone’s memories in it!? That's amazing!」

Souta takes it and nods.

「That’s right. But… one thing, there's one problem with it. The condition to watch the recording inside it is if it’s activated by me or the elder’s magic power, which is pretty much the creator of this stone.」

「So, that means the recipients are limited huh?」

「To leave the record, one needs to pour their magic power into it while recording the memory…… Anyway, it was a prototype, but since that person wanted it, we decided to gave her a couple of samples.」

Looking at the stone in his hand, Souta shows a nostalgic expression.

「…… What is the content, I wonder? I want to see it alone. I’m sorry, can you lend me a vacant room? 」

Based on the timing of when this stone was given to Narasu’s father, Souta judge the content is not something light.

「Then, you can use this room, we will leave you alone.Let’s go, Arezel.」

「Y-Yes.」

Narasu pulls Arezel’s hand and together, they leave the room.

「What on earth will be shown I wonder……」

While muttering, Souta pours his magic power into the stone and then puts it on the table.

The stone emits light gradually and an image emerges.

What is reflected there is the image of Dinarius of the past day.

「Hnn, hmm. A- A-, I wonder if this is recording, I hope there is some sign of when it starts recording or things like that.」

While speaking lightly through the magic stone, she complains while poking it.

「Well… it will be okay, since Souta-san made it, it should be fine, should be. but for that person to go missing.」

Despite taking some time before she goes to the main topic, Souta doesn’t get angry or impatient, instead, he watches her with a smile.

「Fufufu, still the same Dina I guess.」

「Alright, let’s just start and a.s.sume everything is fine.」

With resolve, Dina switches her feeling and start talking about the main topic.

「When Souta-san watches this, I'll probably still be sealed in the Demon Crystal. There must be various rumors going around, but don’t worry, because this is the decision I made. 」

The smile on Souta’s face from before vanishes, it replaced by a serious expression as he listens to Dina.

「I heard that you were repatriated to your original world, but I believe that Souta-san will return to this world, so I will wait for the day we meet again inside the seal.」

She decided to spend years of her time sealed only in order to meet again with Souta.

「There must be people that will try to undo the seal, so I decided to use the Memory Stone as the key to unlock it. That way the seal can only unsealed by either Souta-san or the elder.」

In her hand is another memory stone different from the one used for this record.

「Why… all this just to meet me….」
