270 267. Magic.txt (2/2)

So, are you really not interested in this world anymore?　That's surprising to me as a Levantine. When I was a kid, I was told that he was a being who would be 're-born' to save the world: ......

'Most of that lore is a lie, because all of it was tossed around by later followers. The only role I had as a magic ”tiara-san” was to take care of my level 1 master for a day or so to prevent him from dying, but ...... my daughter did that already. So there really isn't much to do,

So why are you in front of me now?

Yeah. That's the whole point. There's what I'm talking about.

I've been waiting for you, Tiara laughs.

However, I feel like I didn't return to the main topic at my own will, but was successfully guided by her.

This girl seems to be very good at manipulating others. To think that she became a 'saint' a thousand years ago with this speech and manipulation, I can't believe everything she says.

''My daughter seems to be trying to revive me by putting all the 'blood' in this vessel--''

Tiara pointed to her chest and called the body a vessel.

'I don't want to. Honestly, I don't want you to do that to me. I don't have anything to do if I'm resurrected.'

Then he shakes his head, saying he won't let that happen.

Then he points to my chest this time.

''So, you see, I want to leave my power in the hands of Rainer Helvirshine. I want you to receive this 'blood'.

She told me, a stranger, to inherit it.

I was in no hurry to ask her a question, as I had a hint of her request.

'Why me?　That's Christ or Lastiara.

''Hmm, there are a lot of reasons, but ...... the best reason is because you're the only one (・・・・・・・) who can beat sister Yotaki (・・・・・)?''

The answer was too unexpected for me.

The unexpected name made me wonder from the bottom of my heart.

For once, I had no choice but to ask the question in a state of turmoil.

'What?　Hitaki......?　You mean your sister in Christ?　No, it's crazy. Why would your sister and I fight?

I'll fight. If you're not, you'll have to fight both Aikawa brothers and sisters at the same time. Frankly speaking, the world will be in danger then. That's why I want to make you much stronger. I have no 'regrets' or anything else, so I came here to contribute to world peace in a random way, just like the legend that was handed down in a random way.

I assured him that I would fight against Christ and the others - even though he was mocking me, he assured me so.

I said earlier that I was a magician and not a saint, but those words sounded like a saint's prophecy.

But that prophecy was too hard to accept, even for me, a Levantine.

'Fool. I'm not going to fight the Lord,” he said, ”no matter what. I'm his knight in shining armor.　I'm a knight in shining armor.

'That's why. Because you are your master's knight, ...... you are absolutely the only one who will fight with your master for him. It's not a 'curse' or a 'covenant', you choose to make that choice of your own accord.

I didn't think the explanation was at all grounded, but Tiara is very confident.

I could only assume that she was convinced, for reasons I couldn't understand.

I had no choice but to take the conversation elsewhere.

'In the first place, you say you're going to transfer you to me, but isn't that something that can only be done by a 'magic stone human' (Jewelculus)?'

Tiara would have noticed that the conversation was deliberately diverted. But she answered exactly.

”That's right, if you want to do a perfect copy, you'll have to use a 'Jewelcrus' (Jewish stone human). But you don't have to go that far if you only want to move by force. You know exactly how to do that, don't you?　When I move to that side, this magic ”Tiara-san” consciousness will be crushed by your consciousness. And some of my power will remain in your 'blood'. At this level, you can do it too if you're present at the ceremony!

That story was well understood because I'm the one who inherited some of Hailey-san's power.

The bottom line is that I'm going to kill myself inside me, so you should take the remaining magic power as a parting gift.

I don't care if you live or die, and if you give me your power for free, I'll feel free to take it. But if I do that, Rastiara will hate me for it. Is this because you're in on the deal with this Rastiara guy?

No, not at all.

Hey.

He jokingly tells me that I'm missing a key point and I let out an angry voice.

''I'm forcing myself to appear in front of you now because I don't think I can talk to you. That girl has decided on her own that I have an 'unrequited desire' to be 'tied to Aikawa Uzumi this time'. I've stood up to the dream pillow a few times, but she never believed me. It's impossible to convince them that things have become so complicated in the time left to me.

Ms. Tiara spat out a word that couldn't be dismissed.

'How much time do you have left ...... you're all right ......?　Maybe you're already ......

It's going to be a very short time before it's all gone. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for. Just like Reaper, magical life forms suffer tremendously when they do not do what they are supposed to do: ......

Tiara-san's expression crumbled and distorted as I questioned her.

If you look closely, you can see that she is in a thin, cold sweat. She was no longer hiding her condition, and I could tell that she was in such bad shape that she was on the verge of collapse.

From the look on her face, I knew she wasn't lying about talking to me in the limited time she had.

Maybe she doesn't have a single spare moment anymore and just wants to leave me with some strength. There was enough of a look on her face to believe it.

'If you have the power to give me ......, I'll take it.'

--I look at that pained face and compromise.

I was just a little reluctant to do so because Tiara-san was suspicious, and it was a welcome way to get the power originally.

Here I am, and that's what I thought. Undeniably (・・・・).

'Oh. Thanks. I knew Reiner would say that!

Just how do we move it?　I'm not that good at sacred magic.

Not a single drop of Saint Tiara's 'blood' has flowed within me.

If you're going to transfer it to me, you can't use the usual procedure.

I'm going to take advantage of the final blood transfer ritual in a few days. If it works, the ritual will look like an accidental failure ...... and the power of the 'blood' is actually being cut out by Reiner. Don't worry, I'll figure out a way to move it so it doesn't bother you.

'Well, then, won't Rastiara hate you for it: ......

It doesn't sound like a problem.

If I refuse to do so, Tiara-san will only disappear completely after a few days.

Even if Las Tiara believes in the 're-birth' of 'Saint Tiara' until the end, the ritual will never succeed because she has no desire to do so.

That is the safest way to end it, though.

-But to be honest, the power of a saint is something I'm interested in.

Of course, I want the power. I want all the power I can get. Assuming a battle with a guardian (Guardian), there is no harm in having it.

More than anything else, Tiara-san wants to inherit the power.

As I thought at the time of Titi, the short-lived ones tend to be happy to leave a testimony of their lives to someone else. I saw that in her story now.

I decide to at least listen to the last wishes of this old lady, who is even more of an old lady than she appears to be, as a way of showing my respect to her.

And I repeat the same words that I swore to Rustyala just recently.

While calling myself trash for that knightly oath, I bow my head lightly.

''I understand. I swear that Knight Ryner Helvirshine will cooperate with your plan.

Tiara-san seems to enjoy accompanying me as I come here and perform a knight's bow in awe.

''Thank you. ...... I acknowledge Rainer Helvillestein as my knight. Use your power to the fullest for my cause.

I almost let out a wry smile at his imposing mastery.

When I raised my face, Tiara-san had the same look on her face.

This is how I easily switched from Rastiara to Tiara-san.

It was at this point that I began to understand a little bit of what Tiara-san meant when she said, ”Only Rainer Helvirshain can fight with Christ for Christ's sake.

I, who has only lied to Christ and Rastiara, the Lord, and who is trying to take away his power by killing two important people without any hesitation, certainly has the makings of a traitor.

Having found a new side of myself, I shake hands with Tiara and then begin to discuss a plan to hijack the ritual together.
