362 359. Time turning point.txt (1/2)

The magical hand of ”past vision” turned the pages.

The protagonist of the story is not Aikawa Uzumi, but Tiara Hoozeyars.

This is what I'm looking for now--

The heart of Youtaki Aikawa, which has been closed off for a thousand years.

The death of Rustyala Fusoya's, which has been connected for a thousand years.

These two reasons will never be found in 'Aikawa Uzumi' because they will never be found in 'Aikawa Uzumi'.

And the angle of view of the introduction changes dramatically as it changes.

Originally, after ”Aikawa Uzumi's Summoning of the Other World”, the next would be ”Aikawa Uzumi and Tiara's First Journey”. But ”Past Vision” focuses on the space between the two.

What is important is not the battle against the thieves, but the events that lie between the two.

That's where I will follow the story that Rustiala has longed for, forcefully argued that it's where we will find what we need in a thousand years.

◆◆◆◆◆ ...

A thousand years ago, a small country, surrounded by mountains, was a small country, the Fuzzy Yards.

I, the princess - Tiara Hoosiers, had many families.

If I counted my brother and sister, there were twenty of them, and if I counted my brother and sister, there were twenty. If I counted my cousins, the number would easily exceed a hundred.

It was said that this was an extraordinary number even for the successive Huzhouyas royal families.

After all, half of the babies born under the dark cloudy sky died within a month, and even if they managed to survive, they were short-lived due to the 'demonic poison'. In fact, I was in that short life pattern, and ...... incidentally, 80% of my forty siblings are already gone from this world.

This is the relatively wealthy Hoosiers' royal family, and this is it.

It's a story that shows how the world was trapped.

If it had taken a little longer for the 'apostles' and 'gentiles' to appear, the 'people' would have disappeared from this continent.

At the same time, the story shows how the 'Apostle' and the 'Gentiles' were the saviors of the world.

It was no wonder that my father, the King of Hooziyaz, was fascinated by them. They worked miracles every day, bringing benefits to the country and finally solving the king's own health problems.

So when it was suggested that I would accompany ”The Gentile” Aikawa Kanami, my father agreed with a quick reply.

Looking at the expression on his face at the audience, I knew immediately that the ”Gentile” was more important than his daughter. Like the 'Apostle', his eyes appealed to me to die as my master's shield.

I agree.

I'm the same way that I prioritize 'Gentiles' over blood, so I hope to one day have a drink with my father and talk about the greatness of my masters.

But that's it. Nothing more. To me, my father is like a stranger - a dark cloth (curtain) is always draped over his face.

Thus, easily I got permission to 'adventure'.

The only thing left to do now is to leave the country as soon as the Diprakra-sama and the others are ready.

As I walked through the dark corridor of the castle, waiting for that moment, I met a member of my family, now only a few people left.

With a face that resembles his father, the king, and eyes and voice that can pierce and kill, he is the most capable man in the castle. He is my oldest brother, Rulon Hoozeyars. On the day of his and the departure of the 'adventure,' we talk.

I hear you're leaving the castle with one of the Gentiles. My sister.

My brother stops me, and I affirm his words with a deep curtsy.

'Yes,'

Even though we are half-siblings, my brother and I are not equals. In addition to our mother's status being very different, we are the highest and lowest in succession to the throne. To put it bluntly, there's about as much difference between a samurai and the Lord, so I don't say anything unnecessary and keep looking down.

I'm glad to see that you've recovered from your illness. ...... But the rapid changes in the hoozeyards over the past few days are not so good. It's fair to say that we've been swept up by the unknown, and we've been kept afloat.

First my brother smiled and congratulated me.

Then he kept that gentle smile on his face and chastised me distantly.

I knew what he was feeling.

I was confident only in my ability to look into the faces of others. I had needed that ability since before I could remember, and had continued to hone it to this day. If I hadn't had this talent, I would have already died a mysterious death.

Now that my brother has recovered from his illness, he is loath to see me go.

The reason is simple.

He has been ignoring me for a long time, when I was not even a stone on the side of the road, but a dead body.

He thought he was wasting his precious time with the trash that would soon be dead. The trash is now acquiring a bizarre power and wandering around the castle, which is its own domain, and it must be annoying.

I wish you would have the composure of royalty. ”I want you to have the composure of royalty, the composure to do your job in a quiet, solemn, dignified manner.

I know that this brother has reduced the number of families in the castle from a mere few to single digits.

Everyone who lives in the castle knows of his ruthlessness. And they are terrified. The true ruler of this castle, Rulon Hoozeyars, must never be defeated.

I have no intention of going against my brother.

I'm not interested in my brother's wish for the throne.

I'm even willing to help my capable brother on his high road.

It's just that he won't trust me with his life.

I've accepted that it's just the way it is.

I know from books, but I knew that there are relationships where people will always kill each other like this. Once a royal family is involved, it's more of a common sense of the story.

Killing each other until death.

This was all that represented me and my brother. Naturally, that brother's face is covered with a dark cloth (curtain) just like his father.

By the way, my brother Rulon also received the 《Level Up》 example.

It's just that I was able to convert the 'Demon Poison' in my body more efficiently and turned a lot of it into power. That's probably one of the main reasons why people don't trust me.

My brother, who was sure to poison me sooner or later, briefly asked me, as I continued to be silent, ”Do you understand?

''You understand, don't you?　My sister.

It was a question that included many things.

In this dark corridor, I felt my brother's throbbing emotions lurking, coming closer to my feet. I wanted to kick him off.

'Of course. I hope to cut this flesh and blood for the sake of the country your brother will eventually rule.'

I don't know. You know, your mother's habit of keeping your eyes downcast is very similar to yours. The same foolish woman who once doomed our family to her own ambition.

When I responded with a canned answer, I insulted my mother.

You don't really think so.

This is a shake up. He's still trying to find out what's inside of me, which is still locked up inside, just like it was in my sickbed.

.............

I know this, which is why I keep silent.

Because no matter how I answer, my brother will be more wary of me.

Oh no, though.

Royal stories are terrible.

It's boring to be seen as the enemy even if you're humble.

When I was amused by this, a third person's voice rang out from the depths of the dark corridor.

''-- You seem to be having an enjoyable conversation. Are you Tiara's mother? Hmph, I'm very curious about that.

It was Aikawa Hitaki, the ”Gentile”.

As if she had seen it coming, she appeared to me in a pinch.

Mischievously, the Yotaki sister approached me with a grace that surpassed that of her brother, beating the floor with her heels.

The strength of her presence is extraordinary, and I even have the illusion that her entire body is shining.

There was no dark cloth (curtain) hanging over her face.

Naturally, my face relaxed and a smile appeared on my face.

My brother Rulon doesn't change his color at the arrival of his sister, but replies gracefully.

The story is not worthy to be heard by ...... 'Gentiles'. Nevertheless, if you wish to hear it, it would be best to know it from my daughter, Tiara. She is my closest blood relative.

'Is this from Tiara?　I agree. That's what I think, too.

'Then I shall be excused from my seat. There must be a lot of things that are hard to say in my presence.

'Hmmm. Thank you for your constant concern. Mr. Rulon.

...... my sister. May the 'Gentiles' have no rough edges.

With that, his brother Rulon shows his back and leaves the cloister.

The conversation ended unhurriedly, as if there was a script.

It was obvious that my brother was not good at sister Yotaki.

Sister Yotaki easily overcame the person I could only turn over and shut up.

I was proud of that, even though it wasn't me.

''Shall we go too? ''Tiara,''

'Oh, yeah, ......'

He takes her hand and walks in the opposite direction from his brother.

Along the way, Yotaki sister lets out a sigh.

''...... haha. That's a terrible brother. Oh also flying the killing spirit, tormenting our lovely tiara.

'No, I'm not being tormented ....... Brother Rulon has no choice but to say that because of his position: ......

As my sister, I will supplement my brother.

Although there have been many problems since I was young, I don't dislike my brother.

Seeing my reaction, sister Yotaki lowers her eyebrows.

''...... As usual, Tiara is clever, isn't she?''

Then he stopped abruptly, praised me, and hugged me.

'That's why I know you've been enduring hard days for so long. ...... You've had a very hard day. You can be more vulnerable in front of me, can't you?

The series of movements were so natural that I couldn't stop them.

The Youtaki sister's words reached deep into my heart.

She continued to hold you tightly and strongly.

She continues to hug me tightly and strongly.

The people in the castle still refuse to touch my body after so many years of being in a sickbed. Because everyone is listening. In the night when everyone is asleep, they hear my vindictive moans that leak from the top of the tower.

The rumor that if you touch me, your illness and curse will spread throughout the castle. And now, even if the cause of the sickness is solved by the 'apostles', everyone will continue to keep their distance, just like my brother earlier.

My sister Yotaki touched that soft part of me that no one had ever touched before without a care in the world.

There is no way you can do a dark cloth (curtain).

Sister Yotaki is beautiful .......

Bright ......!　My bright light: ......!

She's more of a sister than anyone else in my blood and more precious than anything else in my life. ......!

No, no!　Sister Yotaki is much harder than me!　Unlike me, you're not sick yet!

...... Even if I am, your hard days won't go away.

Sister Yotaki continues to stroke my head.

As usual - or even more gently than usual - she adores me.

I couldn't refuse it.

Without words, I affirmed ”yes” and pampered her, and for a few minutes as she stroked me.

After touching each other enough, my sister Yotaki and I walked out hand in hand.

Along the way, I touch on something that sister Yotaki wanted to know.

''You know, Yotaki sister ....... It's about my mother--

'By the way, my parents were money and power mongers. They betrayed their friends and relatives on a daily basis, raised their two children, who shared their blood, as tools, and were ultimately ruined by their own evil deeds. He was so out of character that he would gleefully tell me, his child, stories about sending his rivals to their deaths.

Before I could say something hard to say, Yotaki sister beat me roughly to the point of being hard to say ahead of me.

I was stunned by it, but followed in defeat.

''......!　Well, um, I feel similarly ....... But not so much that your mother would send someone to their death ....... And I feel like she was kind to her children. Also, she was never a liar, only to her relatives, and that ......

'Huh. Well, it looks like I've won, then.

What, win?

'This is a game of misfortune and bragging. Your mother seems to have had a decent family love, so you lose.

Yes. ......

Even though I let out a grunt of confusion, I could tell right away that Sister Yotaki was paying attention to me.

She dares to make it easier for me to talk to her. At the same time, she is exposing her own family situation in exchange for finding out about my family situation.

I'm very happy about that.

But at that moment, I had a little twisted feeling coming out of my chest.

Even though I knew this was a nonsense, I didn't want my sister Yotaki to win this match. I want my sweet Youtaki sister to be happier than I am, and I'm going to say something about that person.

''But sister Yotaki has a master: ......!　That good-looking master!　My siblings are that thing I was talking about earlier and ......

That Aikawa Kanami is there.

So, from now on, Yotaki sister's life is bound to be bright and happy.

As I was about to tell her that, Yotaki sister, walking next to me, shook her head at my opinion.

''No. Even if you put your brother in, my victory is still unshakable. After all, I consider you, who I call 'Sister Yangtaki', as my sister. If I am your sister, then by the way, your brother would be your brother too. So no count for your brother. I'm still minus a few more.

Seeing Sister Youtaki developing a strange theory, I feel my eyes burning.

Sister Youtaki's triumphant profile insisted that everything she just said was natural. She is encouraging me, saying, ”We are three siblings.

I felt like crying, just as I did at night when I was on my sickbed, when I was looking at the stars - but my body was so much warmer than it was then. I had no choice but to surrender.

''Ah, already ....... I'm fine with sister Yangtaki winning. I'm happy compared to my sister, I'm happy. I'm incredibly happy.

After admitting that, Sister Yotaki stroked my head a few times with her free hand and started walking again.

''Good girl, Tiara. Let's go to ...... and train with me again today, shall we?

Training?　What? You're teaching me again today!　Yes!

'I'd like to do everything I can before I embark on this dangerous journey, you know. Let's go to a suitable garden instead of the example tower .......

I shift my destination slightly and head outdoors.

I go to the place where I received the spellcraft 《level up》 on the first day, and there I take off my extra jacket.

The reason why I'm wearing light clothing is because I'm learning 'body arts' instead of 'magic arts'.

It's also an otherworldly skill, not a foozeyards skill. As a book lover, I couldn't have been more entertained by that. If I have any concerns, there is only one.

'But, Yotaki-sister. Are you okay with your body?　You've told me a few times since then, are you getting sick?

'It's okay. I won't run out of breath at least when I'm dealing with a tiara. Rather, my body, which is on the road to recovery, should do this much lighter exercise. Moderate exercise is the foundation of good health, basic.

'I see. ....... Then thank goodness for .......

Indeed, even when I was under the influence of The Devil's Poison, not moving my body at all on the bed was only going to lower my condition.

I know the importance of moving my body within a reasonable range. When I think back, before she started teaching me the Body Jutsu, my sister Yotaki used to frequently do flexibility exercises in the shade of a tree. I'm sure the replacement for that is my current 'body technique' training.

Relieved that teaching me wasn't a burden, Sister Yotaki spun out her words as a teacher.

'Tiara, be serious from here on out. ...... It's the physical ability you've gained with the 'Demon Poison'. Let's learn as many techniques to utilize that body as possible.

Yeah, I'll learn. You might need it for your travels.

Yes, I'll start by showing you all the moves I've been teaching you. Well, why don't you show me all the moves you've been teaching me first? Just to make sure I haven't forgotten anything.

I do it every day before I go to bed.

With the conversation out of the way, I rushed out.

Sister Yotaki values countermeasures against surprise and surprise attacks in everyday life more than formal greetings and procedures. She taught me that being able to respond to them is a truly useful 'body technique'.

''Ha--!

I'm going to attack my sister Yotaki with my physical abilities that have become adult-grade in The Demon Poison, and I'm going to attack her.

I'm going to grab her hand in the style of the technique I've learned and throw her away. Common sense dictates that this is not a good thing to do to Youtaki's sister, whose illness has not yet been completely cured.

However, I had an absolute sense of security.

--[No one can beat Aikawa Youtaki].

Even if I was sick, my opponent was nothing more than a flexibility exercise, even if it was me.

That kind of trust drives my body with all my might.

''Phew.''

And without betraying her trust, sister Yotaki handled my attack with a laugh.

I first paid off the outstretched hand cleanly.

The following moves of my kata are also received by the corresponding kata movements neatly.

One by one, my techniques are crushed like a teacher doing an answer check for homework.

At the end of the many techniques, my sister Yotaki showed me one of her first kata and gently threw me to the ground, making me roll on the ground.

I look up to the pitch-black heavens while imprinting the movements of that kata in my head.

I let out a broken breath and replace my racing heartbeat with words.

'Hah, hah, hah, hah, awesome ......!　This is the martial arts of another world: ......!

'Martial arts is not ...... such a fine thing. It's just women's self-defense, this.

They say it's not a warrior, but it's humility.

Indeed, the technique type itself might not be.

However, there was no doubt that if Sister Youtaki used it, it would raise her to the highest class of martial arts in the world by itself.

Because, I know.

When Sister Youtaki is summoned to another world, she shows a piece of her martial arts to our world.

-- all of the Hoosiers' guards were subdued with their bare hands.

Among them, there were many of the best warriors in the Fuzzy Yards.

This was despite the fact that at that time, Sister Yangtaki's illness was still unchecked and she was as close to death as she could get.

Her body was emaciated, her complexion was deadly white, her breathing was erratic, and with her wobbly limbs - Sister Youtaki had easily rendered about two orders of magnitude of armed adults incapable of fighting.

The slender girl, not yet an adult, overwhelmed the brawny warriors. Only in the heroic tales I've read, such a character would appear proudly in the heroic tales I've read.

Hah, hah, hah ......!

'Gentile' is shining.

As if I was bragging to someone, I would confirm the amazingness of Sister Youtaki to Sister Youtaki herself.

''But, Yotaki sister!　Even if this is just a self-defense technique, Sister Yotaki is definitely not just a person!　It's beyond genius and that kind of dimension, it's godlike: ......!

...... yeah, yeah. ...... It's, well,

In front of my eyes, which were staring at her, Yotaki sister became troubled and nodded after hesitation.

I knew it.

I knew it.

I couldn't stop my ”kuhuhu” laugh.

Seeing me, Yotaki sister's troubled face gradually changed to a dumbfounded face.

''This is ....... I guess I should tell Tiara as soon as possible ....... If I don't, I'm going to make a terrible mistake in the future...... no, I definitely will.

At the end of it all, I decided to do one thing.

I don't know the deepest part of the story, but I could feel the air of trying to talk about the inner workings of the situation, which was unusual.

From the current flow of conversation, is it the secret of sister Yotaki's power?

If so, I'm looking forward to it too much. Excited, I quietly waited for Sister Yotaki's words.

''You're right, I'm a bit unusual. In both worlds, I would be called 'abnormal'. ...... Honestly, I'm proud of this one.

'Yeah, that's a hell of a lot of talent (and taste) ......!　A true hero's egg!　If it's a book, it's definitely the hero, the hero!

Sister Yangtaki spoke while teasing me, I earnestly praise her.

She looked at me with a smile as she continued her story, watching me in her great excitement.

''It's just that when I say proud, it wasn't all good, you know?　I was treated like a pretty painful child because I was born different from the other kids. So I was very much a pain in the ass to my brother.

Like a sore throat?　That's because Yotaki's sister is different from the others, she's special. In books, it's clearly the chosen one. So, I may have at least bothered others, but ......

I was offended that the people of the other world didn't have the eyes to see, but Sister Youtaki only responded with a faint smile.

''...... I was special. There is no one in this world who can be more omnipotent and self-conscious than me. Without a doubt, I was the chosen one, and that's why I'm here as a 'savior' like this. Hmmm.

At that moment, I felt as if the ”power of ice” as an example had leaked out.

My breath stopped as I was bathed in an overwhelming presence on my skin. In front of the divine woman in front of me, I felt it was rude for my lowly self to breathe.

In front of that breathless me, Sister Yotaki slowly gets to the point of the story.

''--So, first of all. Let me explain a little bit about how I'm different from everyone else. Please come over for a moment, Tiara.

Uh-huh.

Prompted to continue the 'body arts' special training earlier, I let out a stopped breath and then plunge in as I'm told.

In the middle of it, Yotaki sister stops moving with a snap and goes on to explain.

''For example, when Tiara rushes in like this ...... face-to-face, I'm going to think about my next move, right?　'Shifting', 'reaching out', 'paying off with your feet', ...... various things.

'I don't think about it so much, though. I'm the clumsy type who can only do one thing at a time.

'Doing one thing well, one piece at a time, doesn't mean you're clumsy. It's a strength that doesn't distract you from the futility of things - the ability to focus. It's one of those blessed qualities, Tiara.

'I wonder if we are blessed ......?　I mean, I think most people are just like me.
