227 226. Titis Departure Day.txt (1/2)
'Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! ---------- ... ---------- ... ---------- ... ---------- ... ---------- ... ---------- ... -- ----------------!!!!!!!!
With Lord's scream, the long, long story came to an end.
The Lord and I looked at those heavenly eleven years, the hundred years that were just suffocating to erase it, and the thousand years that were cursed and crazy.
'--Ha!
I let out my breath that I had stopped breathing.
I managed to finish seeing. However, due to the effects of operating magic beyond its limits, I can smell blood on my breath.
I was reckless - but thanks to that recklessness, I finally knew.
The beginning of the girl in front of me was a meadow with a fresh breeze.
It was that little house, Lord and I remembered.
'Aaaaah, aaaaah, aaaaah, aaaaah ......--!
The Lord screamed and tried to get away from me. And my left arm, which was covered with the magic 《Distance Mute》, was pulled out of the Lord's chest.
Before I knew it, the magic of the surrounding area was lifted.
The wind path and walls disappeared, revealing an empty sky with nothing in it.
The Lord moved his freed body and took a step backwards, then another step backwards.
Then he moves his eyes to the right and left and looks at that world.
''--No, no! I wish I had! That's what I was looking for! It's not 'here (...)' (・・・・・・・) ahhh (・・・・・) ----!
He shook his head and screamed.
The world distorted in time with that cry.
Like a pulsating heart, the Lord's 'hierarchy' shakes. The shaking caused cracks to appear in the empty space, and the sky began to peel away with polo and polo.
Above and below, far and near, all the emptiness here is being peeled away.
It's the exact same phenomenon as the destruction of the wards we saw a while ago. The broken world is being broken again.
But this time, I knew it wasn't destroyed by physical force, but by magic magic magic.
A thousand years ago the Founder set the rules that 'this place' would change its shape as the Lord wished.
I'm not going to be the only one who knows that the world is only following that law.
The world of the Lord is stripped away - the 'other side' begins to be seen.
It's the place that was connected to 'Viaisia' by a door.
On the front side of the sixty-six layers, it's a grassland with a huge spiral staircase in the center.
The boundary between the front and back was about to be broken, and now the worlds were about to overlap.
'A hole has been made in the back side of the labyrinth, trying to connect with the sixty-six layers that were on the front ......? No, maybe--
In the first place, the idea of the two sides of the same coin may have been wrong from the beginning.
Originally, this world overlapped, and the two together could have been a hierarchy for the Lord - but it could have been an unfinished hierarchy.
The emptiness of the world's emptiness paint was peeling away - and the next thing I knew, the Lord and I were standing on a grassy field on the 'other side'. I could tell we were on the edge of the sixty-sixth layer by the wind dragon Elfenries and the spiral staircase in the distance.
It's a strange situation where the grasslands and the universe are mixed together, as they haven't been peeled off into the sky yet.
But it's a lot better than it was earlier.
There's no such thing as nothing anymore. There is a staircase that leads upward in the carpet of grass.
There is a path back to the ground.
That alone is more than enough for the current road.
I disarmed both the Dimension Graduate Prequel and the Magic Mute, grabbed my sword and called out to him.
''Lord! No, Titty!
Calling names.
The name of the girl who is the master of this world is ”Titi”.
Her name is ”Titi”.
The girl Titi who was called by me looks at me slowly.
'Oh, aaaaahhhh, aaaaahh ......! Ka, na, miiiiiiiii--!
Then the girl calls back her name.
Her nose is red, her eyes are full of tears, her mouth is open as if it were about to burst open, and she walks across the meadow, wobbling like a newborn fawn, and approaches us.
'Ah, 'here' I am! That's what I was promised!
”Uzumiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!
Titi kicks the ground in the meadow and runs off.
Then he raises his bayonet like a child's chambara and slams it down as if to make sure I'm there.
I catch it head-on and flick it back wildly.
The bayonet is returned, and Titi's body is on its back.
Even so, he uses his bullshit physical abilities to regain his stance and swing the bayonet down again, violently.
There is no such thing as technology there any longer. There is no wind magic either.
It's a child's game.
Of course, there is no way I can lose.
It's easy to injure the bayonet and slash Titi's body.
But I dare to attack the bayonet head on.
I'm not going to be able to get a good idea of what to expect.
At the end of the sword fight, I use the ”Crescent Pectrazi's Straight Sword” to slash the ”Wind Bayonet” from head-on--.
''--! Wow, my concubine's sword--?
The bayonet was slashed and wiped out as the wind.
Immediately, I stabbed at it with a declaration of victory.
''--Ah, I've won! I've been telling you all along! You're weak!
Hearing this, Titi freaked out and backed away.
She stared at the scraped off right arm of the bayonet, continued to wobble back, stumbled into nothing, and fell on her ass.
'The Vortex Wave wins ......? And the mistress loses ......? Has the king's concubine lost: ......?
Titi doesn't admit defeat and tries to get up quickly, but her hand on the ground slips and she falls forward. She runs face first into the ground, covered in mud.
Nevertheless, once again, Titi tries to stand up - but halfway through, her movement stops.
Those green twin eyes were turned to the ground.
The tears that had fallen from Titi's eyes were there.
Realizing that she herself is crying, Titi stiffens.
A symbol of weakness comes into view - and begins to crumble.
'Ah, ah, ah, ....... Oh, wah, mistress - the child (straw) is ......
And I shudder.
The sobs are not making it clearer.
Titi is no longer a limit. No, she had long ago exceeded her limits long before she fought me.
It was before I spent a thousand years here, before I met Nosfi before I was born, before I became a king and lost myself - even more than that.
-- since that day (...), when her heart was crushed, she was at her limit.
So there was no way she could fight anymore. There was no way she could get up.
Since her body and mind are in shambles, the only thing left is, of course, tears pouring out of her--
'Wawa-ha, wawa-ha, wawa-ha ....... Wawahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa--!
At last, everything that has been mended since his death collapses.
Regardless of her own position and name, Titi begins to cry, as unapologetically as a child, without regard to shame or outward appearance.
It was when the girl who had never cried in public finally cried in front of someone.
At the same time, the vicious magic power that was clothed in Titi's body dissipates. There is no wind for battle, but rather a wind that blows through the grasslands and dissolves into the world.
There is no longer a 'ruling king' in 'here'.
Now, the girl has regained the weakness that the world had stolen from her.
I realize that there is only one girl here, Titi, and I lower the tip of my sword to the ground.
The fight is over.
I won, and Lord lost - it's over.
”Aaaaaaahhhh! Well, it didn't have to end with the loss of a child (strawberry). ......! No, it was good to lose! Deep down, I thought he was a weak child! Because, all the time, the child(s) wanted to go home: ......! Ah, it's just that the child just wanted to go home forever and ever!
Sitting up on her knees, Titi swings her hands down to the ground.
Then she turns her face down and spills large, ragged tears on the ground, revealing her true feelings without any strength.
'Oh, I miss my grandma and grandpa ......! I miss my brother Eid: ......! I miss everyone in the village: ......! I miss you, I miss you, I miss you. ......! Ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh--! Aaaaahhhhhh--!
She cries loudly.
She opens her big, distorted mouth, shakes her hair out, and looks up this time.
I look up at the sky, but the tears won't stop. Streaks of tears drip from her eyes and wet her entire cheeks.
Seeing that figure, I'm relieved from the bottom of my heart.
Thank goodness ....... I made it this time: .......
I'm definitely on the path to victory now.
While I am relieved, Titi continues to speak the words.
The screams of a thousand years do not stop, and they echo through the sixty-six layers.
'Ahhhh, ahhh--! Why! Why, they are torturing the child! Why have you all disappeared? Why did the boy have to be separated from his grandma and grandpa?
Titi clutches the dirt with her hands as she hits the ground, then swings her arms out to the side and throws the dirt onto the grassy field.
And then, after calling out like an octogenarian, his voice gets a little quieter.
He speaks faintly, with hiccups.
...... No, I understand. It's a good idea to be able to have a good idea of what you're looking for. I'm going to be able to say that I'm not going to be able to get the best out of it. So he lived. Even if it's painful, I've survived ......!
I move closer to the squatting Titty and stroke her trembling back.
The hiccups stop little by little as she strokes me.
My family was the most important thing in my life. The rest of it didn't matter to me. But no one understood that ....... Little by little, they were driven to the edge ....... And so I went to ......--
'Yeah, family is the most important thing, isn't it ....... You're right. ......
Yes, only Kanami understood that ....... A thousand years ago, only Kanamin saw through the feelings that even the mistress herself didn't understand a thousand years ago: ......
”Is it just me or is it ......?
That's right. You're ......, haha, Kanamin was a siscon, so I'm sure he had a lot of sympathy for you. He must have had a lot of sympathy for ......
Titi looks up and laughs bitterly, covered in tears.
But soon that smile disappears and turns pathetic.
'Oh, oh, oh, boy, I miss my brother(aide) too ....... He wants to see his family ....... But there is no more 'brother' id anywhere in the world. He has become 'the one who steals the logic of the tree'. Before you know it, he overtook his mistress's back and became a veritable monster, a loyal vassal of the ruling king (Lord) and the viceroy's aide of Viasia. ...... It's not really a family anymore. Just as the child who became the Lord's Master couldn't be called Titi, the Aide who became the Prime Minister couldn't be called his brother. ......
She regains her memory, knows her wish, but the fact that it doesn't arrive leaves Titi at a loss.
'Titi, keep it up, please. It's not easy, but I want to hear it. Just tell me what you want at .......
”What a child wants, huh? ....... I couldn't tell you then, but not now. Finally I remember now. The boy wanted to go home. He wanted to go back to that meadow, where his grandfather and grandmother are ...... and his id is ......! Because that meadow was the only treasure the child had! That's all there is to the world! Even after the madness, I tried so hard to get back to that childhood, but there was no substitute for 'here' or anywhere else! I couldn't find it anywhere. ......
Titi confesses to me the unrequited love that is the heart of a guardian (guardian).
I want to go home - it was too much of a childish regret.
And, following the regret, I let out my regret.
'I never wanted to be a king! I wasn't trying to defend my country! I wanted to protect you, Grandma and Grandpa and my brother, Aydo! That's it! That's it! Any more than that and you're too heavy! World peace has nothing to do with children! A country is too heavy for me to carry!
It was as if a dam had been broken, and he complained to me about the dissatisfaction that had been pent up for a long time.
A child can only be a 'gardener' at most! You're only as good as your gardener. titles like ”King who rules”, ”Demon King” and ”Mad King”... these are not titles you should be ashamed of! I couldn't rule them, I could only rule them with a little animal! So how did that happen? Why did we all get suckered into playing the king just because the kids got carried away! You're a fool! They're all big idiots--!
He appeals to the people of Vyasia.
I deny everything that carried me as a king.
This is equivalent to denying yourself, and although Titi's expression was painful to the point of tearing her body to shreds, it was also refreshing.
The boy has been a child ever since that day and that time! Weak and stupid, a child, a fool! And yet! Why did the child become a king and go to all that trouble?
He exclaims that he regrets being king.
'You did not know! I didn't know that if I became king, I'd be stuck there forever! I didn't know you could lose your family so easily! I didn't hear that...aaaa--!
He shouted that the role of king was not worth it.
'If you knew, guys, stop it! The child is a fool, so he'll take it easy, won't he? Why didn't anyone tell me? Everyone aaaaahhhh ----!
He cries out that he hates everyone who cleared the path to the king.
I can't say anything to that cry.
It's because I knew what was going on with the previous magic, Dimension Graduate, ”Prequel (Recall)”, that I couldn't bypass it to comfort them.
That country on the verge of being destroyed needed a strong king.
And Lord was stronger than anyone else.
I know that I had no choice but to ask him to become the king.
The wailing of the reluctant king continues.
You should have warned me that being a king is a hard job. I didn't know that! If I had known, I never would have done it ah!
There is no way I would tell you.
Because at that time, everyone wanted a savior.
They didn't want subjects or people, they just wanted a warm home! I just wanted a piece of land where I could live in peace with my id! If only I could run around that meadow again, that would be all I needed! I wanted such a normal, normal, normal life! So already, in the end, there will be no choice but to run away.
But someone had to do it.
If someone hadn't become the savior, the ”North” would have perished. And that role was taken up by a girl named Lord Titty, who is now curled up like a baby and crying.
That's the whole story of the heroic tale ”The King Who Rules (Lord)”.
'I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! A child is not the fine person everyone thinks he is! Weak, young, fragile--just a child! He was only fooling the king for fun! There is nowhere else to be found a 'king who rules' as they say! You are neither wise nor strong nor great at all!
Titi's tone is a mess as she lets everything out of herself.
But I guess this is what she is supposed to be.
The girl who had regained everything she had scraped and scraped and scraped and scraped all these years was so awkward and had no dignity at all.
''The child (Warawa) was of legendary blood! A legitimate descendant of royalty! You have an unparalleled talent for controlling demons! That overwhelming 'power to steal reason' is a beacon of hope! Therefore, you should lead us to fight the South for ever! You're on your own! That's not up to me! No! No, no, no, no! --I wanted to say no! I wanted to turn it down! I was so anxious and insecure, I wanted to turn it all down!
Titi screams and hits the ground repeatedly.
She cries and scatters around. The tears are no longer large, but rather cascading down like a waterfall.
Hundreds of years' worth of tears are flowing and show no signs of stopping. It seems as if I will continue to cry and regret it forever.
To stop them, I ask.
I ask him what he should do to get over that regret, and I ask him what he should do to get over it.
'Then why didn't you say no ......? All the way to ......
That's because ...... that idle fool expects a child to be ....... She said she admired her sister for being the strongest and most noble person in the world ......, so she couldn't say she was a child.
--I couldn't tell you because you expected me to.
'It's not just the id ....... Everyone had high hopes for the child. They threatened this little boy ......
--I couldn't say no because everyone was looking at me.
'--No, that's not exactly what I'm talking about: ....... I know. That's just an excuse. It is the selfishness of a child who wanted to be a good-looking older sister in front of her. For the sake of my own vanity, I acted out what I couldn't do. I acted like an adult in order to meet the expectations I couldn't meet. All I had to say to the Aide at that time was, ”I'm just a skinny kid pretending to be a lord,” and that was all I needed to say. ...... But I couldn't do that. The result was the destruction of viasia. No, I am not talking about just this country. The deaths of the northern nations are entirely the fault of the children ....... Even if their curses crushed his soul, the child should not complain. Even if that is a mistake, it is the responsibility of a man who has once been king. Yes, that is his responsibility. Yes, I know. I know that ......, I know that ......
But I also admit that it was my ego.
A girl does not turn away from her own mistakes.
That's why she couldn't leave 'here'.
''Haha. If only I had said just one word, that it was too heavy a load to carry, ......, that would have been fine. The child, the child, the child, the child ......, did not face anyone and desperately continued to act like an adult ....... Yes, I know. The worst thing is the child (warawa) himself ......
I know a little bit about that regret.
I once regretted not facing anyone, too.
After all, we are the same kid, me and Lord.
But I also know that we are a little different. It's a bit more than just one or two years, but I think I'm a bit more mature than this girl. So I reach out to her.
”- Don't give up, Lord. I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work. It's not too late.
If it were over after one or two failures, my life would have been over a long time ago.
But I've made it this far.
Even though I failed, I didn't give up, I kept starting over and moving forward.
But Lord refuses to accept my words or my hand.
No,” he said, ”it's too late. No, it's too late for everything. The child has lost everything. They have all moved away from the child. No, the child has left ....... That is why there is nothing here anymore ....... We have no choice but to continue freezing in 'here' forever ......
I can't take it back - I keep looking down at my eyes and letting the tears fall.
Unable to watch her, I shout out.
''-- It's not too late! It's not too late, Lord! It's not too late! That's what I'm here for!
Lord said, ”All the Guardians are waiting for Whirlpool Wave” and ”Whirlpool Wave has a duty to fulfill its debts to the monsters.
It is now time to fulfill that duty.
Shout again! Louder and louder! To reach everyone you've ever met! Say what you couldn't say! Reject all expectations! Don't regret the 'past' - 'now', let those people hear it!
So, I'm going to construct the magic ”Dimensional Decisive Operation (Dimension Graduation) ”Prequel (Recall)” once again.
However, if you look at the [Display], it's already empty.
[Status]
Name: Aikawa Uzumi HP26/289 MP0/1165 Class: explorer
The magic of being over the edge makes my body scream.
But I'm getting used to the pain. The fact that it's not an unknown, intense pain, but a known one, makes room for me.
My organs and organs are lacerating and blood is rushing up my throat. As the blood is spurted out, I feel like I'm missing many important things. It's not just my maximum HP, it's the sense that my soul itself is unraveling. Not just the physical body, but even the magic stone inside the body is being chipped away.
However, the magic construction does not stop.
So far, I've seen the 'future' and the 'past' with my two full strength magics. But I know that those two are not the original power.
The real value of my magic is to connect the ”future” and ”past”. I'm convinced of that.
”Kanamin ......, what ......?
Dimensional magic interfered with the entire grassland and rained down a pale magical light (Tear Ray). And the source of that light was a magical stone in the sky.
And each light that danced down on the grassland gradually expanded. It mimics the silhouette of a person. It was just like the moment a monster appeared in the labyrinth.
This is the magic formula that Kanami the founder gave to the labyrinth, the 'true magic that makes everyone happy' that the past saint Tiara saved the world, and the holy magic (...) to save those who 'steal the truth'.
The world is flooded with light.
As a skilled wizard, Titi must understand that each of those lights is filled with a soul.
I look up, my eyes full of tears.
'Mi, guys ......?'
In the blurred light, Titi has a vision of her people.
Of course, that's me, too. If I look hard enough, I can see them.
Behind the myriad of lights, I can indeed see the shadows (silhouettes) of the people of the former Vieissia.
Titty, who was mesmerized by the sight, immediately shakes her head.
''--Non, an imposter! Minna, more than five hundred years ago, she fell asleep with her soul ground to a halt! All of you here are merely actors following your appointed roles!
”Don't lick me, Lord--! I am the thief of dimensionality! That's a decision you'll have to make when you see this soul sparkle! If you say your ”soul” is worn out, all you have to do is turn back the clock! Even if it's against the laws of the world, I don't care! Now, I'll give it everything I've got! This is the best I can do! It's the full force of all of us--!!!!
If Titi refuses to admit it, then we'll just go further.
If you're saying that all souls fell asleep five hundred years ago and were irretrievably lost, then we just need to magically connect them to a 'past' even earlier than that!
The future and the present are connected to each other, and the past is connected to the present. Until the time comes when the world (you) remember.
I redo the chanting, feeling not only the magic stones plucked from the painting on my left arm, but all the magic stones in this space.
All of this is to bring people from the 'past'. And--
The Dimension Graduate ”Prequel”!
--to this place, to be recalled and converged (dropped).
First of all, on the grassy field, the city, full of natural greenery, overlapped like a faint phantom. Further in the distance, the huge Vyasia Castle floated vaguely in the distance.
Every single light that danced down was a faint glimpse of the former people of Viaissia.
Titi sees this and lets out a voice.
''Oh, ahhh, ahhh ......!
A contour formed in the light and many of the city's people returned.
One of them, a woman, moved her mouth to speak.
It certainly made the air tremble.
''--Lord-sama. No, is it Titi-chan? I'm sorry ....... We've been oblivious for a long time. ......
The woman called the 'Lord of the Dominating Kings' (Lord) Titi.
I'm sure that these women, who were demon stones, also felt the light of remembrance of the past.
Even if he wasn't as accurate as we were, he certainly felt it.
'Ho, are you sure it's ......?'
Titi shudders.
She is amazed that people who should be dead are coming back now.
Meanwhile, snowflakes of light are falling from the sky one after another. All the while, the snow of light falls from the sky one after another, and all of them are regaining their former time with the help of the Dimension Graduation Prequel (Recall).
Every time and place in the northern countries overlaps with this narrow layer of sixty-six. As many dimensions as there are peoples are born, and the figures of more than ten thousand peoples are contained within a single vision.
In the light of this compression upon compression, the vast northern continent is revived.
Although only the outline of the shadows could be seen, it was indeed 'everyone' to Titi who was about to return.
And first, the people of Viisia Castle Town called out to them one by one.
''--King, there's no need to apologize to us. That destruction was because of our dependence on you, not because of you. On the contrary, you prolonged the life of the dying North. You gave up that soul and showed us hope. We may thank you for that, but we will never blame you for it. ......!
'I'm sorry, King: ....... No. I'm not saying king anymore. Titi was with us, wasn't she? We were kids together. ......
'We are dead beings. We are only souls that Lord Kanami called ....... But to this soul, it certainly echoed. The screams of our king certainly struck this chest .......
Titi is stunned.
I guess it's because she realized that I really am forcing everything back with my magic.
Seeing the look on his face, I vow to keep the magic alive, no matter what.
