239 237. Departure.txt (1/2)

It's well into the night, and we've made our way to Hoozeyer's in the Connection.

Instead of heading to the cathedral with Rastiara, we entered the country's largest library in order to gather one last bit of information.

To be honest, I've already done more than enough to build up my strength. The only thing I can do now is to learn more about the enemy. And for now, the potential enemies are Nosfi, the one who steals the logic of light, the one who steals the logic of wood, and Sith, the apostle. Fortunately, these three are people who were active a thousand years ago.

He thought that the largest library in the Confederation might have some of their information left.

However, in Titi's opinion, ”Oh, there's no way that's a decent amount of information left.

The next words were, ”Well, the heroic tale of the children is that. It's not just a matter of how much time you spend in the field, it's also a matter of how much time you spend in the field. ...... No, it's just a matter of time!　There are many times when the country will not be able to stand, if we do not justify ourselves! This was the case. The king himself said it a thousand years ago, so it's reasonably convincing.

And just as he said, we would be wasting our time.

As soon as we arrived at the library, we looked for materials from a thousand years ago in the 《Dimension》, but not all of them were accurate. Just by looking at a rough chronology, more than 90% of them are usually pretending that there was no suppression of the 'demon' - even if I looked for places that were not released to the general public with the letter of introduction that Sera-san gave me, all of them differed from the story of Titi, the living witness! It's all documentation.

There's only one thing I found out.

All I know is that there is still a convenient history for the four people who seem to have survived the battle of the 'World Dedication Battle' a thousand years ago - 'The Founder Kanami', 'Saint Tiara', 'Apostle Legacy' and 'Arti, the one who steals the reason for the fire'.

No matter how much I read the material from a thousand years ago, I could only find the battle where the 'Saint Tiara' and the others defeated the 'Governing King' (Lord), who was a bad adversary, just as Dia and Rastiara had explained to me before. I tried to find a name I knew, but I couldn't find a good one.

If possible, I would have liked to know about the Apostle's abilities and the weaknesses of the ”thing that steals the logic of the tree”, but if this is the largest library in the United Kingdom, there is little hope of finding anything else.

Titi has fallen asleep in the corner of the library after getting bored with this book full of lies early on.

I have no choice but to end my search in the library, cancel the inn and terminate my useless ”connection,” while leaving Hoosier's Country.

I've already digested most of the notes with Ryner's small talk on them. All that's left is something like hand-washing tips.

We walked through the confederate country at night, which had become completely dark, and entered the port city of Gouliard with the Connection. Then, I look for a port where I can use my letter of introduction.

In the largest port of the Allied Nations, many people continued to work with the lights on, even though it was the middle of the night. Apparently, the port was operating without a break, as the mainland was more at war.

Immediately, I seek out a person of reasonably high status in the 《Dimension》 and I slap a letter of introduction on them with my name. Since I'm no longer comfortable using the name, I spoke a bit high-handedly to facilitate the conversation, making the other person's face turn blue.

Then, after being guided by the highest-ranking Allied soldier in the harbor, we reach the huge ship floating at the edge of the harbor.

The ”Living Legend” was no different from before, leaving its magnificent appearance - it was gone, and the ship's deck and starboard port were scorched. I don't want to think too much about the reasons for this, so I'll let it pass.

I looked at the ship with a bitter smile, while Titi next to me, in contrast, her eyes sparkled with excitement.

'--Yo, goodness!　I feel like a ship of the past!　You can't use this ship!

For Titi, the scorched eye seemed to hit a good point. And maybe it's simply that in Titi's day, there were no ships this huge.

Anyway, you can tell from the way he talks that he likes it.

'Yeah, we're both going to use this one.

We decided to take the boat to the mainland where Ayde was.

At first I thought about asking Titi to fly us, but she objected to the idea, first of all because of the lack of style. Of course, one decent reason was the degradation of my powers as a guardian (guardian) and the danger of simply flying for days on end with no rest.

I ask the soldier for more details while answering Titi's question.

'Um, so can we get this ship out now?'

No, I just got a call yesterday, so I haven't been able to prepare the ship's magic yet ....... It's not a very fuel-efficient ship, so please visit .......

Okay. --I see.

I didn't get a good reply, so I quickly checked the situation with dimensional magic.

The inside of the ”Living Legend” was exactly in a state where the word ”on the way” was appropriate. Nevertheless, considering the busyness of wartime, I thought it was enough. Frankly, me and Titi could get by if we had a sail.

''From the looks of it, there's no problem for us, so we'll be sailing in this condition. It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what to expect. The voyage can be done by both of us, so we'll get it out soon.

As I speak, I move closer to the ship to put some magic power into it.

Oh, this thing works by magic. It's amazing.

Similarly, Titi sees the ship approaching and puts a stop to it.

”Wait. If you do this, you might break it by putting too much in, so I'll do it.

Mmm. I'll break it!　I won't do that!

Yeah, I know you've got perfect control over your magic, but you might as well do what you're used to. But you should do what you're used to doing. Instead, you're going to use the wind to prepare to sail as best as you can figure out.

Hmm, it's no use. I've never been on a ship this big before, but I know the basics. I've never sailed on a ship this big before, but I've sailed on many ships in my time, so I know the basics. --I'm familiar with the basics.

While I put my hands on the ship and put my magic into it, Titi wrapped the entire ship in the wind. Then all the doors and windows of the ship were opened and ventilated by one person, the ropes moved like a living thing, the sails widened of their own accord, and the anchor was raised.

'Say, you're the quintessential 'Ayikawakanami Christ Eurasian Waldhusiers von Walker': ......

I feel like I'm being donned by the soldiers who were watching me, but I don't care and get ready to go. In the distance, the sailors in the harbor point fingers at me and open their big mouths and surprise me, but I never stop doing it.

Thinking back, I've always tried my best to keep a low profile in the other world.

But I've given up.

With the feeling that I've lost something important, I leave behind a mysterious luminescent phenomenon and poltergeist legend in the harbor.

And within a few minutes, I finish preparing to leave the port, and after kicking Titi, who is responding to the sailors with a piece, to stop her, I go up to the deck of the ship.

'I'll be off then. Thank you for all the trouble you've taken care of me.

I thank the soldier who is seeing me off and say goodbye.

With that, Titi leaps to the deck. I kick her and she nearly falls into the water, but she's in great spirits.

Mmm!　Then let's go!　This ”Living Legend” will be temporarily taken over by the children!　And so begins the great adventure of this brave Titty!　Today, from here!

Not at all chastened by the kicking, Titi declares loudly to the few people in the harbor, and snaps her fingers with a snap. At the same time, the wind blows. A magical gust of wind, more than enough to propel the ship forward.

With the addition of the ship's natural propulsion, the Living Legend sets sail with an unusual movement.

I immediately took out a nautical chart from my possessions and pointed out the direction I should go with Dimension.

Ah, let's go. I'm aiming for the port town of Cork on the mainland. It's a place I've been to at least once. You can go there with your eyes closed. Above all, if you're the one who steals the reason for the wind, you'll be right there.

Yo!　All the way to the front.

The ship accelerates like a jet.

Leaving a white trajectory in the dark night sea, the Living Legend shows us a departure worthy of the ship's name, surprising all who see it off.

And so, with amazement and screams at our backs, we fly out of the Allied Nations.

Our friends are waiting for us on the mainland - to return to their beloved families.

A new adventure begins.

And - the path we are about to follow is also the ”return path” of Titty's ”last days”.

She returns home, this time to disappear.

Titty's final adventure begins now...

◆◆◆◆◆

--I - Rainer Helvirshein - picture the two of them in his mind.

''I'm sure they're just about to get on the boat by now. They shouldn't be so restless as to wait until tomorrow.

He walks in the darkness, mouthing the movements of the Lord and Titi.

'You know exactly what I mean. After all, it sounds like a year of time together is a big deal.

Serra, who has become my boss, listens to this with admiration. But I won't go so far as to say that I don't know Christ because of time, but because of something else.

This power and knowledge that is in me (...) is the backbone of my life. I dare not correct you that the truth is that it is only a few days that we have spent time together.

'Christ is out of the confederacy now. Furthermore, this warded underground. We'll never be eavesdropped on again.

We are in the basement of the Fusoya's Cathedral.

Now, Serah and I are walking in the dimly lit underground passage.

We have come to this place after passing through many layers of wards and many sealed doors.

It's all in order to find out what Rastiara's plan is. For that reason, I separated from Christ with great care.

...... But it's an uncomfortable cloister.
