250 248. "Magic Stone Human" and Aid.txt (2/2)

I can see a lot of things from Rouge-chan's perspective.

The sky was clear and cloudless, and it was easy to understand at a glance that it was a frontier area from a plain that was not badly touched by people.

There was only one exception to this plain.

Next to the lush forest, a mansion that had been hidden away was burning. It was burning so vigorously that it looked as if it might catch fire in the forest at any moment. A few days later, the fire is so strong that I am convinced there will be no trace of the mansion.

Rouge-chan and the others stood dumbfounded in front of the flames that scattered the flames with crispy sparks. Holding hands with Noir-chan, they stared at the place where they were born disappearing.

The burning mansion was a research institute in a certain country.

As a result of repeated outrageous experiments, the result of being found by Haili and the guardian (guardian) id of the forty layers of the special 'magic stone human (Jewelculus)' produced by Palinclone - it seems that this is how it happened.

Before Rouge-chan and Noir-chan were used up as research material, these two men and women with matching long, fluttering white hair saved them. Thanks to my past vision, I can see, if only dimly, the scene of these two fighting a great battle against the researcher and the guards.

After it was all over, a reluctant-looking Heili was advising Aide.

The life span of these children is too short.

The more they live, the more they may only suffer.

He speaks about it in front of the two 'Magic Stone Humans (Jewelculus)' who are probably the people in question.

-- but immediately the id shook its head.

Shaking his head, he confronted Hailey's tragic story head on.

'--Hairi, that's not true. There is no life in this world that should not have been born.

Then, without pause, he shook Rouge and Noir's hand.

The warmth of their hands puzzled the two of them. Probably because it was a temperature they had never felt before in their short and miserable lives. They were puzzled, but never shook it off.

'Never (・・・・・・・・). I will show you that I will save you.

As if to tell himself, Ayde repeats it again - trying to save two oppressed lives.

If it is me, I can save the 'Jewelculus' people. As if to say that he exists for that reason, the wood-attribute magic power of his body trembled.

Heili was surprised at the guardian's firm intentions, but smiled with a slightly troubled look on his face - and in the end, he agreed.

From now on, the two of them vowed to help the ”Jewelculus” within their reach.

--This is the beginning.

This is the beginning of the new story of the ”one who stole the logic of the tree” called into this era, and the beginning of a new life for Rouge and the other ”Jewelcrus”.

Aide places her hand on their heads and begins to comfort them, telling them that they have nothing to fear anymore. He continues stroking them with an unfamiliar hand, as if to remind them of something, as if to remind them of something, as if to remind them of nostalgia.

''-- How did you escape the Institute with your little body? But you can rest easy now. There are no more humans to oppress you guys.

It's a coincidence that Rouge and Noir met both Hailey and Ayde. It was also a coincidence that they escaped from the Research Institute and told him of their devastation. Everything was a coincidence.

The kindness that sprang up from that coincidence left the two of the 'Magic Stone Humans (Jewelculus)' bewildered.

But this person can help us. And I'm sure he can help everyone.

I was able to believe that somewhere in my heart, and I was so happy to see that caressing hand that Rouge-chan involuntarily narrowed her eyes.

--and thus begins the journey with the four of us.

The main purpose of the journey is to free the 'Demon Stone Humans (Jewelculus)' who are suffering in the other research institutes, but it is basically a journey to help people. They go around rescuing persecuted slaves, beastmen, and starving villages and cities.

The Guardians (Guardian) Aide had the knowledge and power to make this possible.

During his travels, he also borrowed the power of the Legacy family from Haili's handed down, and created a place for the rescued Jewelculus humans to spend their new lives.

The abused Jewelcrus are rescued one by one - but at the same time, they don't understand the meaning of their rescue and question their actions.

They said they were created beings, 'things' to be used, and that they didn't understand why they were protected.

To their more miserable births than their slaves, Aide would gently answer.

He goes on to tell them that he decided to save the 'Jewelculus' because they are his family.

”- It doesn't matter what the 'Jewelcrus' is. They can decide their own family by themselves. By the way, according to that own law, I believe that everyone here is one family.

According to the laws (rules) set by their guardian (guardian) Aide, the ”Magic Stone Humans” (Jewelculus) gain a family.

Their journey continues as they give each other new names, discarding the number that represents the number of works and giving each other new names.

Along the way, of course, many problems arise.

The Jewelculus' that were being adjusted at the research institute were too weak. However, all of them were treated by the Aide, who worked tirelessly to heal them all, even while she slept.

The Jewelcrusters tried to stop the id from searching for a cure, even if it meant cutting down on itself. The 'Stealers of the Tree' aide's time should not be spent on the futile 'Jewelculus'.

''--I'm sorry, sir ....... Our lives are too fragile. Frankly, there is no point in further treatment ....... Let's just give up now. ......

So what's the problem?　If you're going to talk about life, you're a 'dead man'.　I don't care what you say, it's useless. I've decided that I'm going to help the Jewelculus. Yes, I've already made up my mind.

However, the guardian (guardian) easily cuts off his sorrow and throws it away.

In front of the 'Magic Stone Humans (Jewelculus)' who are becoming more and more confused by that too forceful helping hand, Ayd spins various words.

''-- Even if you have a little bit of trouble, you are definitely powerful young people. And if you're a promising young man, you're always welcome to yourself. The kingdom I'm aiming for will need a lot of people--

He wiped away the guilt and anxiety of the 'Demon Stone Humans (Jewelculus)' and the others, saying that they didn't need to worry about anything since it was in line with the purpose of the Id, 'Founding'.

The words contained words that were also seen in Titi's memory.

''--Don't ever give up. Let's all laugh and aim for 'paradise' together.

With that, he invites his family to ”Paradise”.

It's a kingdom where even the Jewelculus can live happily and peacefully. Let's get there together, Ayd said.

And that's where Rouge's recollection of her memories ends.

They thought they had told me everything they wanted to tell me. Little by little, I'm returning from 'past vision' to reality--

◆◆◆◆◆

-- This is how I saw the reason why Rouge-chan and the rest of the 'Magic Stone Humans (Jewelculus)' were able to lay down their lives for the id.

I respect that journey myself.

I wouldn't call it salvation, but I felt it was close to a good-good, evil, world-repairing story.

It was so noble to see Ayde helping the suffering people and curing the incurable diseases.

At the same time, I know that Aide has changed a lot in the past year.

Seeing the change in my expression, Rouge-chan in front of me, with my hand inserted in her chest, mutters.

''--Sensei, as declared, immediately prepared a new 'ruling king (Lord)' and created a kingdom, but ....... After I became the 'Prime Minister' of the kingdom, I feel like things got a little bit strange ....... Without a break, the teacher kept working and working and working and working, and little by little, something was driving me to ....... Before I knew it, I wasn't laughing at all .......

A guardian (Guardian) may be a moving dead man (Undet), but that doesn't mean everything is unchanging. They may have a change of heart, or they may have changed their vows before they were born.

Maybe we've found something more important than helping others. Or maybe he can no longer afford to help people. ......

Now, deliberately expanding the war between the 'Northern Confederacy' and the 'Southern Confederacy' is also unthinkable if you were the first teacher: ......

The current Aide is too strange compared to a year ago.

That's why Rouge-chan, who is the 'magic stone human' (Jewelculus) who has been associated with the aide the longest, probably wants to know the true nature of the weirdness before protecting her teacher.

No - maybe she already knows the reason. It's possible that she knows, and that's why she's offering to help us.

'Lately, when I call him teacher, he doesn't respond to me anymore ....... He ignored ...... as if there was never a time when he was a teacher. Only when I called him ”Prime Minister” did he look back at me with a very tense expression ....... It's hard for me ...... to watch that.

That desperate plea pierces the depths of my heart, thanks to the 'connection'.

So please, Kanami Aikawa. You are the brother of the current 'Lord', aren't you, Aikawa Kanami-san?

The current (...) 'The Governing King (Lord)' - from what I've heard from Ryner and Rustyala, I'm sure it's my sister Yotaki. Without hiding it, I nodded my head.

''You know ...... well. I certainly do.

'Please, take your sister with you. And drag the teacher away from the 'Prime Minister'. That's what I want.

All right. As for that Ayde guy, we'll make sure he stops being the Prime Minister. I'll make sure to take my sister out too.

I had naturally agreed to it.

It's because I understood Rouge-chan's story better thanks to the 'connection' and I was also convinced of the problems that Ayde was having.

Perhaps it's because Titty and Ayde are brother and sister, but their problems are also very similar. The word 'king' has been replaced by the word 'prime minister', but I thought that what we need to do is the same as it was in the labyrinth.

Perhaps Titi, who had heard this behind her, agreed with it, but she didn't say anything about that promise, and instead patted Rouge-chan's head and welcomed her with open arms.

''Ayde saved your miserable little one, didn't he? ......

'Yes, yes it is ....... That, thank you very much. The real 'Lord' (Lord), the real 'Lord': ......

Yes, thank you. But don't be so modest. A bit of light language is fine for a child.

From the beginning, Titty must have trusted Rouge-chan. After my 《Distance Mute》 confirmation, she treats me very defenselessly.

And after finishing the sufficient hospitality, Titty speaks to me with a serious expression.

''Kanamin. I felt the image of Grandma and Grandpa, who once helped the children, still lingered in the recesses of Ayd's mind. ...... I'm sure that, like the children, it has not disappeared over the passage of decades. But he seems to have made a mistake in choosing the next one.

The more information we exchange, the more clearly we see the problem with the id.

That problem sounds tricky, but to be honest, I'm not too worried about it. After all, I have Ayd's real sister next to me now.

I'm afraid things have gotten a little bit more complicated than they were for you. But I'm sure it will be easier than it was for you.

Haha, that's very encouraging.

Perhaps it's because of my past vision, a great technique, that my senses are very acute.

Thanks to that, I know exactly what I have to do from now on, and the flow of what I have to do.

First of all, instead of fighting the guardian (guardian), I have to know the guardian's (guardian's) wishes. That part is always the same.

However, I have a hunch - but this time I feel that the 'reason for the wrong wish' is more complicated.

It's not like the previous guardians were artificially complicated (・・・・) ...... that's how I feel.

Even so, this time it's definitely easier than usual because the goal is in sight.

I am convinced that the only requirement is that the id is with her family, Titi.

'Well, I guess we should get moving, then. We've done it with quite a flair, and people are gathering around.

Me and Titi really fought in front of the ”Big Hole” and quite a bit of magic and sound leaked into the city. Several explorers are looking at us from afar. If this is the case, even the city guards will come out.

Let's get out of the Second Maze City of Daryl immediately.

If we were to leave, it would be to the north where Vyssia is located. While extending the ”Dimension” thinly, we will decide on our future actions.

Incidentally, Kounel-chan, who escaped, had already gone outside the city. She really didn't want to accompany me, and it's really dangerous from here on out, so I'll forego the escape. Titi didn't even say that she was going to come here and catch him.

This is where we'll say goodbye to little Kounell.

But I have a feeling that I'll see her again soon, somewhere .......

It's not a connection, but I feel something close to it in her.

''Aikawa Kanami-san. I believe that you are now in the country of Viaissia, which is located at the southern end of the 'Northern League', for sure. That country is the new country you founded. Let's go out of the north gate and head straight for Viaissia.

'Yeah, I don't think Id lied to you. I'm pretty sure it's Vyasia: ......

The name of that country is familiar.

There would be no other place for the two of them to settle, Titi and Ayde.

However, Titi, in her own right, expresses her opinion with some concern.

But are you sure you want to head straight north?　I hear you're at war?

'It's okay to be straight, doctor's sister. It's not like we're at war all year round.

”Haven't you been doing this all year? ......?　Ummm... ......

''Don't worry about the northern barrier and such, as long as I'm here, it's a face pass. If the people in the south find you, that's okay, because you've got Mr. Snow, right ......?

Snow, who had taken a step back, tilted his head in surprise when he was suddenly approached.

''What?　But I'm no longer the acting commander-in-chief: ......

'Mr. Snow, ......, that kind of thing isn't something that's easy to stop even if you want to, so ....... At least I don't think you've changed the way you look at it, so if you need anything, can I ask you to?

Hmmm. You look like you're in a hurry, so I'll see what I can do.

Good. Okay, so here's the road ahead: ......--

While walking, Rouge unfolded the map she had in her hand. A lot of notes were scribbled on it, and it was enough to lightly understand the situation of the current war just by lightly reading it in the 《Dimension》.

They seemed to rely on my dimensional magic sensing, and with the opinion of Snow, who was a general in the south, they decided on how to avoid the war zone.

The country of Viasia is just across the border between the north and south. Since the royal capital is not far away, it didn't take much time to decide on a path.

Then, let's take a few days to travel this way. I want to recover the magic power I used today, and I also want time to use my future vision before the duel.

After making plans, we move back to the carriage.

Once we are in the carriage, the rest of the journey is a straight line.

The journey from the Confederacy is over.

The end of Titi's journey home--.

Hmm. Well, let's go to the boy's hometown of Veitchia--

Titi closed with her face to the north where her brother would be waiting for her.

And we will leave the Second Maze City Daryl before the end of the day.
