114 Day 113.4, evening.txt (1/2)

After the semifinals, I immediately separated from Rustiala and the others.

Compared to the time of ”Kanami,” I remember the memories of ”Christ,” and Rustiala and the others follow my instructions without much explanation.

Ignoring my body's need for rest, I exit through the exit on the opposite side of the corridor from Rastiara. Then I go through the corridor and reach the waiting room. The Reaper was waiting for me there.

''Brother, congratulations. You finally got your truth back.

The Reaper congratulates me with an innocent smile.

But I can't be happy about it.

As I regain my memory, the experience of my former failures keeps ringing alarm bells.

I can sense the truth behind her blessing.

The emotions conveyed by the 'connection' tell me that she is incompatible with the Reaper.

--the girl in front of me turns out to be a difficult foe, comparable to the Palinclone of one day.

'Oh. Thanks, Reaper. It was a bit of a painful memory, but I'm glad I got it back. Thanks to the help of the Reaper.

Thank God. Now you won't have to do your brother a favor.

The Reaper smiles happily.

But don't be fooled by his juvenile appearance and endearing smile.

I can't make a definitive statement, but I can make a guess.

Perhaps the emotions aren't the only thing the Reaper can get from the 'connection'.

And no one is saying that there is only one 'connection'.

By making so many connections, a leaper has the potential to learn experience and emotion from many people at the same time. If there is no upper limit to the number of 'connections', then the target is all the citizens of Lauravian Country. In other words, in just a few days, she might be able to gain hundreds of years of experience.

There are many acquaintances of Palinkron in Lauravia. The Reaper learned from reading Palinkron's power and memories from the 'connections' of many people. -- such a verse.

This is probably why the Reaper shows an attitude that is not appropriate for his age.

''Now I won't make a mistake in my wish. That night of the dragon slaying, the Reaper pushed me to this point. Thank you so much.''

'Nope, I'm not doing anything. I'm full of me, you know.

The Reaper is not doing anything - it looks like he's not doing anything.

He's really just pushing me around.

I thought the way he did it was really similar to Palinkron.

Maybe it's not just the 'connection'.

I heard yesterday that the Reaper said that he helped Rastiara find someone.

When was that?

Could it be that the Reaper noticed something wrong with everyone's body, including his own, from day one?

That day, the Reaper flew around the country without sleeping to collect magic power and information.

That's when he must have met Rastiara and the others.

And who were they looking for?

The one Rustyala was looking for should be Palinkron.

Since she had already found me, the object of protection, she must have wanted to check on the enemy next.

Reaper helped Rustyala search for people with his dimensional magic 《Dimension》.

As a result, the Rail mansion was cleared and Palinkron fled the country. It was possible that Reaper was present at the battle. --meaning it's very possible that he came in contact with Palinkron.

'So what's going to happen to my brother now that he's recovered his memory?

-- that's all it takes to get rid of the anxiety.

The Reaper's wish is 'to protect Rowen'.

I can tell from the 'connection' that that desire is not a lie.

That's why the Reaper and I will never be incompatible.

Perhaps, she has always neglected me, who has the power to erase Rowen.

Hence, the Reaper has always acted with the sole purpose of getting rid of me from the Confederacy. She continued to imprint on me the idea that I couldn't do anything until my memories were restored. He encouraged Snow to become independent and helped me recover my memories by putting the Reapers themselves on the back burner. Finally, he whispered to Rowen that he didn't need me and even brought up my sister's safety.

All of this was to keep my estranged self away from Rowen.

'I'm going to meet with Snow and talk to her now.

I cut to the chase, carefully watching the reaper's reaction.

'You're Snow sister, or ....... But are you sure?　Your brother wanted you to solve the Walker family's problems on your own, didn't he, Sister Snow?

'Yeah, yeah ....... But it's terrible to leave without saying anything, isn't it?　We should at least talk about it at the end.

”Leave-- ...... Yeah. Maybe we should at least talk at the end. Your brother has to go after that Palinkron guy without a care in the world.

'Yeah. ...... but how do you know about Palinkron? Who told you about it?

'...... It's Mr. Rail. I was there when Rowen heard about Kanami's past from Mr. Rail. That's how I know that this Palinkron guy is the one who sealed my memories.

Okay. So you know a lot about my past.

I don't think too much and talk as emotionlessly as possible.

Probably the same with leapers. Because when we let our emotions run high, the 'connection' causes it to get through to the other person.

The 'I (Kanami)' gained experience leading up to the Nativity.

The 'Reaper' who gained hundreds of years of experience.

The two who were innocent and innocent when they met at the 30th layer are no more.

We are both full of lies and contradictions.

Nevertheless, we continue to talk with each other without changing our expressions.
