308 305. The beginning of the saint.txt (1/2)

Magic (...) The sense of magic (...) ”Dimension Graduate, Prequel (Recall)” is special.

In fact, even I, the user, don't know exactly how the magic used is consumed and where it is lost.

But at the same time it loses its magic power, it gains memories instead. That is certain.

The magic that reads the past from all things is precisely and quickly analyzing the core in Nosfi's hair - the magic stone.

The magic stone contains a lot of information.

It's such a density of information that some people interpret it as containing a soul.

The contours of the magical stone are clearly outlined by dimensional magic, and the contents are clearly seen through the ”connection” of the magical perception.

It's a bit like the feeling of jumping into the ocean.

The inside of the magic stone - the inside of the sea is filled with light like a rainbow. Everything is the light of information. Every possible memory of the past shimmers above, below, to the left, to the left, to the right, everywhere you look, and is endlessly folded. Once you open your eyes, visual information that cannot normally be processed is delivered to your brain in an instant.

This is inside the magic stone.

And here is the entire life that Nosfy has been leading.

Soon, I'll be looking for Nosphy and I to meet in the shining light of the ocean.

The dimensional magic ”Dimension” has the same effect whether it is in the metaphysical world or the metaphysical world. I have a feeling that this world of memory, like this one, is better for the passage of the 《Dimension》. I had no trouble finding it.

But before I looked at the most important memory of the encounter, I wanted to sort out Nosfi's birth.

First and foremost, there is something I need to confirm.

That is Nosfi's birth.

I needed to know what she was. Once I know that, I will inevitably understand the meaning of the fresh-blooded magic, Aikawa Kanami/Aikawa Hitaki.

The earliest memory of Nosfi Fuzzyards goes back to the moment of its birth.

And I see.

And I see the memory of the day of her birth.

I take my mind and go into her mind.

It's a strange, yet somehow nostalgic feeling.

My soul and Nosfi's soul overlap in my memory -

It was in a dimly lit room in the Hoozeyards Castle a thousand years ago that Nosfi first woke up.

There, in the Demon Poison Laboratory and Mortuary, he was born as the first Jewish Stone Human (Jewelculus).

There, he met the three apostles.

They were Diprakra, Sith and Legacy. At that time, Nosfi received the titles 'Banner of Light', 'Saintess', 'Stealer of Light's Reason' and 'Northfield Hoosiers'.

Undoubtedly, it was a title, not a name, but a title.

The apostles, who had no human heart, did not give her a name.

They only numbered her for convenience alone - of course, they would be far from calling her a parent.

An apostle is an apostle. They are nothing more than that.

In other words, when Nosfi was born, he had no parents by his side. Not only was he not blessed by his family, he was not even able to witness his birth.

That's probably what distorted Nosfi in the first place.

Because there was no blessing, she didn't have the feeling of being born.

Naturally, she didn't understand what it meant for people to live so desperately.

All they were given was a role.

Only a role was needed.

To be the 'replacement' for Tiara, the Princess of the Foozeyards at the time.

Prosperity of the Foozeyards as the 'Stealer of the Reason of Light'.

She was innocent, and she accepted it.

As far as the past was concerned, this was the moment when a dark brush was put into the campus of her innocent mind.

Thus, one of the legends from a thousand years ago.

The story of ”The Banner of Light” begins.

Compared to the story of ”The King Who Rules” I saw a while ago, it was a smooth sailing beginning.

The beauty and qualities of the Jewelcruise.

The charm, a spell engraved in his blood from birth.

The magic of ”The One Who Steals the Reason for Light”, which was called a miracle at the time.

In addition, the backing of the Hoozeyer's royal family and their apostles.

Without a single stumbling block, Nosfi took the Foozeyards captive and brought them all together.

She rightly fulfilled the role and role she was given brilliantly.

She showed that she finished it perfectly.

At the same time, it meant that she had lost her purpose in life.

Unable to develop an honest view of life and death, Nosfi's slight flare-up syndrome led her to attempt suicide.

Due to her unique birth without parents, she had no attachment to life at all. Because of the ”Jewelcrus”, she had no survival instincts as a human being. The absence of a wedge of family members is also one of the reasons.

However, her suicide is stopped by Apostle Legacey.

And she is taught.

It's the presence of parents.

A being who wishes for her to ”live” unconditionally.

A being who loves her.

Nosufi is guided by her parents - she learns who is the 'gene donor' that made up her body as a 'magical stone human' (Jewelculus).

It was 'Aikawa Uzumi' and 'Aikawa Yotaki'.

To our horror, those apostles were trying to mass-produce us 'Gentiles'. Probably without our permission.

Without our permission, they carried out what would have been a cloning technology in my world without a care in the world.

The technology was akin to artificial insemination using the blood of two people.

Unbeknownst to me, I was having a child. Of course, whether or not to define it as a child is a matter of debate, but without a doubt, something close to it had been born.

It must have been difficult for Nosfi to define a parent as well.

But the being closest to his own parents was known.

Here, Nosfi has one thing in mind that makes life worth living. It served as a wedge, reinforcing Nosphy's life.

Then, with Legacy's guidance, Nosphy sees me at the time, though from a distance.

I don't speak to him.

Nosphy was a newborn, but he was a smart kid.

He understood that a man who might be his father didn't know anything about him.

She knew that if a woman as grown up as she was suddenly showed up and said, ”I'm your daughter,” there was no way the man would accept her. Nosfi gave the same consideration to Yotaki, who seemed to be on her mother's side.

She had to put up with it.

Most of all, she was kind, and she took into consideration the position of the Hoozeyers and the Apostles - she suppressed her own needs at this time.

This would be the second mistake.

If I had been aware of her presence at this time, and had even been able to say a word to her, my fate would have been very different. Awkwardly or poorly, we could have had a reasonable encounter and could have had a father-son relationship, even if it was just a poke in the eye.

But that didn't happen. My meeting with Nosphy was far from over.

At this time, Nosphy learned of his parents' existence and gained one of his humanity despite being a 'magic stone human' (Jewelculus). By feeling close to the fact that people are born and live, he also became familiar with the horror of death.

But it was also the beginning of days when I didn't know how to get rid of the fear of death, but the fear of death was the only thing that haunted me.

Without being able to meet me, Nosfy's lonely battle passes.

Nosfi continued to work alone to keep Hoosier's thriving.

The nature of that work is not relevant to this issue, so I won't bore you with the details of that work, but a year, two years - five years went by.

Five years later, after Nosfi had recognized me.

Finally, I was able to reach the meeting of Aikawa Uzumi and Nosfy.

For me, that was when Aikawa Uzumi's journey to cure Aikawa Yotaki ended in failure.

In this era, I became the Founder guided by the Apostles, and Kanami gathered the demonic poisons from all over the world and tried to save her sister Yotaki. However, that journey ended in a tragic outcome. What awaited her after her ”demonization” was not the transcendence of a human, but a simple ”monstrous transformation”. Yotaki had become a mere monster. I was furious and desperate at the time.

It was also an awakening as 'the one who steals the reason for the dimension'. I wanted to release all my power and take revenge on the Apostle Sith. However, it was a battle that had no chance of being won.

While the progenitor Kanami was alone, the Apostle Sith had knights with terrible power. These were the knights who would later become famous in the world as the knights who would protect Nosfi.

Ironically, they were dealing with the 'one who steals the truth of darkness' and the 'one who steals the truth of blood', which the founder Kanami himself had found and rescued on his journey to save the world, and recommended to the knights of the Hoozeyards. They were also joined by the genius knight 'The One Who Steals the Earth's Reason', which Yotaki had discovered in the past in Japan.

With the three people that the Aikawa siblings protected, their revenge failed.

The Apostle Sith even had the luxury of capturing them in terms of military strength.

Originally, I had gone out of control as 'the one who steals reason'. I was on the verge of my limit as I continued to pay the 'price' of 'chanting'. By continuing to cast the mental interference magic of 'The One Who Steals the Darkness' over and over again, the spirit of the Primordial Kanami completely collapsed.

Thus, the Apostle Sith took possession of the broken minded puppet 'The One That Steals the Reason of Dimension'.

It could be called a complete defeat.

If you look too much, you might get caught and break your heart, so I'm 'looking past' like a bullet point, but for me a thousand years ago, it should have been a battle that hit my life itself. The culmination of several years of stories in another world should have been in that decisive battle.

But defeat is defeat.

I was captured and brought high up in the Hoosiers' castle and presented before Nosfy, the representative of the Hoosiers' at the time.

--This is the first meeting between Aikawa Uzumi and Nosfi.

It was the worst meeting imaginable.

It was Nosfi's longed-for meeting with his father, but he is immensely disappointed in my overly miserable condition.

On the forty-fifth floor of the towering Hoosier's Castle, the great hall in the center of it.

I sat on one of the chairs lined up in that room and was in a state of complete self-destruction. My empty eyes wandered up to the ceiling, my mouth was half-open, and I was moaning in an inarticulate voice.

The figure was terrible, too.

Underneath his long black hair, which must have been unkempt for a long time, he wears a shattered and strange mask. Underneath it is indeed my face, but more than half of it is no longer 'human'.

Instead of skin, stained red and black flesh sticks to it, and what looks like human claws stick to my neck like scales. The right arm was completely missing, and instead a bundle of flesh resembling a tentacle was writhing around.

''This, this person is Uzuraha-sama ......?　What the hell is this state of affairs ....... How can Uzumi-sama be ......!

It was me, Nosfi immediately saw that it was me.

Then he approached me in my miserable state and held me tightly.

Nosfi asks me about one of the apostles, Legacy.

There were only two people in this room.

There is no one else who could have done this. The Apostle Sith was drunk with victory and had just moved on to his next plan with great enthusiasm. Instead, it was Legacy, who was supposed to be free all year round.

'The ...... Sith guy is worried about your motivation. This is an offering to put you in a good mood,” he said. As of today, Kanami's brother is yours. You think this makes your life worth living a little easier?

'No, sir!　I haven't heard of that: ......!　I'm asking why Kanami-sama is looking like this: ......!

Nosfi was sincerely angry at the apostle who treated her like a thing.

In the past five years, her morality had become completely human. No one would think of her as a make-believe 'magic stone human' (Jewelcrus) any longer. In fact, the Hoozeyars people of this era worshiped Nosfi as a kind-hearted princess who understood the feelings of her people.

'As always, I will repeat the message from the Sith back to you.' --The Lord's plan to use the 'Gentile' to act on behalf of the Lord has failed. Yotaki couldn't surpass a human, and had become a mere monster. And after losing his sister, his brother became desperate and resented the entire world, and was completely engulfed by his weak heart. Naturally, the weak-minded vortex-wave brother couldn't possibly defeat us alone. ...... This is what happened (・・・・・).

Legacy points to me in the chair and shrugs a little ruefully.

'Shh, failed ......?　Both Uzumi-sama and Yotaki-sama, both ......?

Yeah. Your parents didn't work out either way. You had so much potential and you failed miserably. ...... It's a funny story.

And then Legacy points to Nosfy.

''Therefore, the next pillar of the substitution plan is Northfield, you. Inheriting the blood and characteristics of the two 'Gentiles', specializing in 'substitution' and 'stealing the reason for light' with the 'magic' of 'immortality'. Your mind is growing well. The Sith one seems to have decided that you have the most potential to reach the 'deepest' level.

”Is this me going to the 'deepest' part of the world ......?

Nosfi is aware of the existence of a place called 'The Deepest Place' due to his position.

Because he knows that there is a magical power there that is equal to that of a god, he raised his eyebrows dubiously. He had learned from living in the 'Flag of Light' of this Fuzzy Yards that it was not a sweet story to take in.

One day you will take the souls of all the 'reason-stealers' and absorb everything in this world and reach the same realm as our Lord. You will not be the 'Banner of Light' of one nation, but the 'Banner of the World'. --It's not a flag of light for one country, but a flag of the world. Haha, if you don't explain this to him, he's going to make the same mistake again, isn't he?　I'm just trying to get a good look at him off the mark, and really, he's still the same guy.

When he finishes explaining, Regacy laughs at his own colleague Sis, who doesn't grow up to be amused.

With Legacie continuing to laugh, Nosfi continues to stroke my face with a dark look on his face.

'What's up?　You've always wanted it.

'No, no!　I didn't want to meet you in this way: ......!

Yeah, but I'm afraid that's your life now, isn't it? But I'm afraid you're stuck with me from now on, aren't you?　The Sith guy is even planning to marry you to Kanami's brother in order to control public opinion.

Ha, ha ......!

And here's where the example of marriage comes in.

Nosfi responded to it with a question mark from the bottom of his heart.

'The founder who contributed to this world will be united with the saint who saved it. So this brings us another step closer to world domination. My morale will be boosted before we fight the North. It'll be a huge morale booster!

'North ......?　Do you want to resume the war with the Northland: ......?　But that's where the birth of the legendary 'King of Governing (Lord)' has made the nation's power rock solid: ......

''It's true that the Northern Mad King 'The One Who Steals the Reason of the Wind' Lord is strong. The same goes for Seldra, the general at the front, the one who steals the reason for nothing. These two are outstanding among the 'Stealers of Reason'. But for the next plan, the souls of all of the reason stealers are needed. The three of them, including Prime Minister 'The One Who Stole the Reason from the Tree' Aide, are the enemies that must be defeated. We can't avoid them.

With a stern manner, Legacy rattled off the names of his enemies.

They are symbols of fear to Nosfy.

He has lost count of how many times he has been boiled over in the last five years.

In Nosfi's mind, those three names are called demons. If we didn't have a similar hand here, the world would have been unified by the northern Vyisian nation in these years.

''--But that kind of talk, frankly, doesn't matter to me.

But that doesn't seem to matter to Legacey.

When Nosfi's face turns grim at the ever-changing story, Legacey honestly spits out her purpose.

I'm sorry. The only thing I'm interested in right now is your life and the way you and Ayde live. Yeah, they're the only two that matter to me right now.

”The Prime Minister of the North and I? ......?　What the hell is Lady Legacy doing alone ......?　Isn't it your job to save the world: ......?

'Yes, ....... Of course I'm trying to find ways to save the world in my own way. People tend to think I'm slacking off because they don't understand me very well, but I'm trying in my own way. Really?

Legacy, who rarely talked about himself, was revealing his feelings in his own way.

Nosfy thought it was unusual, but at the same time, she could see that he was shocked enough to be so. Perhaps this situation was not something that Legacey could inherently laugh at and accept.

It's not about me, it's about you. You want to be Uzumi's brother's daughter, right?

'Yeah, that's, uh, that's, uh, ...... for my daughter, er, .......'

'You want your father to see you for who you are, don't you? You want him to see himself before anything else, to be valued above all else, to hold you tighter than anything else, don't you?

'That's as far as it goes: ....... However, I am ....... I'd be happy to have Uzumi-sama take a look at .......

'I see. At least you want me to know that you were born here. You're still as greedy as ever.

One by one, Legacie guesses Nosfi's inner thoughts and even draws out his true feelings at the bottom.

'...... Yes. I want to tell you that I was born. That's all I need to do, but this is no longer .......

This isn't the end.

Nosfi shook his head at his true intentions, but Legacey immediately denied it.

There was a wildness there, as if he was somewhat angry.

'Kanami's brother is still more conscious than you think. He responds properly when you call him. So, Northfield. Step forward and scream. Scream your name. Nothing is impossible for you. Nothing is impossible to reach. Nothing is ever unreachable.

Legacie agitated Nosfi that she would not allow herself to just give up.

There was a firm belief and trust in him. Legacie really believes that Aikawa Uzumi and Nosfi here can accomplish this. The expression on his face was enough to make you think so.

Pressed by the heat, Nosfi tied his mouth into a single letter strongly - slowly opening his mouth, calling out his name and saying his name.

''Ka, Uzurinami-sama ....... My name is Northfield, and I am ....... Can you hear me ......?

A really small whisper in my ear.

It was a small voice that seemed to be drowned out by even the moans that echoed from my mouth.

But the voice certainly reached me.

My eyes have been fixed on the ceiling the whole time, and I respond with a slight movement of my head in response to the voice.

'...... North, Field?'

Legacie was right, he seemed to be conscious.

He repeated the name he was told, though poorly.

Nosfi's face lights up at the response.

I can see that she's not as seriously ill inside as she looks, and she proceeds to introduce herself with a bit of a bounce in her voice.

''Yes. I am a 'Jewelcrus' born by the hands of the Apostles, and most of my body is made up of the two 'Gentiles'. That ...... is why I'm like their child, so to speak. Of course, I know I'm being selfish!　But I'm not sure that having someone like me around is enough.
