383 380. New Year 0003.txt (2/2)

With Helmina's knowledge, Lady Legacie has a new 'Steal the Reason' at ......?

If this division of labour can truly complete the safe purification of ”evil poisons”, then all sorts of problems will have developed. Depending on the progress of their research, the ultimate goal of ”a being that can circulate all the demonic poisons on the planet” would not be a dream.

Standing in front of the dissecting table, Legacy-sama continues to talk about the plan to reach that dream without hiding anything.

I'm going to make it bear the ”curse” artificially. I've chosen to use the ”charm” which is the power to guide the minds of others. This will not only make no one unhappy, but will also bring happiness, as long as it is controlled correctly.

It seems that the aim is not to suppress the occurrence of the ”curse” but to control it.

It was a bit similar to the way to avoid the 'curse' that I am challenging now.

The idea for the 'curse' was given to me by your 'gentile'. It is said that the 'curse' of 'enchantment' can support people's hearts and has the potential to contribute to world peace. I heard that there is a precedent in the other world.

At the end of her story, Lady Legacy turned her attention to her own collaborator. Out of the corner of her gaze, the 'Gentile' who was sitting in the corner of the room was brushing her hair.

''...... You-taki sister, you've been doing this kind of thing in a place like this, haven't you?''

Calling my name, I approach the person who sentenced me to death just the other day.

Sister Yotaki responds to that with a smile.

''I'll just be watching. The leader is Legacy and the Foozeyards country, and I am only an advisor. I'm only watching to see if he, as a 'human' novice, will do anything out of line with humanity, as asked by Legacy himself.

'Heh. ....... I was asked to, you know?

I stare at it, thinking that there is no such unbelievable word for it.

The 'thread' that stretched from Yotaki sister's feet had dyed the floor of the building pure white, just like the white garden in the example.

And one by one, the 'thread' is connected to Legacy-sama and Helmina-san.

'An advisor, huh? It sounds like fun. Maybe I should become an advisor too.

'Legacy seems to be very close to you, and I'm sure they'll welcome you. You should be able to participate in the plan as a collaborator, not as an advisor like me.

It was something I had suggested with a light check, but it was easily approved.

From that lightness, I knew that the ”Magus Stone Man” project was unstoppable.

What's more, it is highly likely that the reason why I came up with the idea of assigning the role of the 'Flag of Light' to the completed 'Fiendish Stone Human' is because of Sister Yotaki's guidance.

Heh. ....... If you can join now, I'll do it .......

Still, we can't let what happens in this tower go unchecked. I can't just accept the ”Banner of Light” plan.

The best I can do now is to participate in the plan and ”Tiara Fouzouyas can only impose the role of the 'Flag of Light' on the resulting 'Demon Stone Human',” my various skills in predicting the future gave me the answer.

”--No problem, Tiara. You're welcome.

Legacy-sama nodded without looking at me. With his back to me in front of him, I gave one true feeling to the companion I will be cooperating with.

'...... Lady Legacy, now I am a little surprised. To be honest, I thought you were more apathetic than that. And that's exactly what I didn't think you had a single thing you wanted to do in this world.

'What I want to do in this world, or ....... Sure, that's probably something I don't have. That's why I want to know. What would happen if a being like me was born? What would they think? What would you want? Where would you go? I want to see it. With you, I'm trying to make a 'person' out of curiosity - just to see.

To my true feelings, Legacy-sama also responded to my true feelings.

I hadn't noticed it all along, but sister Yotaki was right, he seems to have a strong affinity for me. However, the sight of his posterior as he spun those words was unsettling and unbearable to watch.

'Maybe this will teach me the meaning of my birth ....... Then I will finally know I am ....... Finally I can be a 'person' like everyone else ......!

He looks like a featherworm being sucked in by the light of a burning fire.

The same is true of the bloody woman next to her (Helmina Neisha). She continues to murmur excitedly, wishing for world salvation through ”blood power”.

”I can go. Here, we can go this time: ......!　If I and the Apostle's knowledge combined, I could reach the depths that I couldn't reach alone: ......!　In just a few moments, those who have sacrificed to this day will be able to sleep easy: ......!

Ms. Helmina was a mad scientist-like person, but once she had assumed the position of a lord, her madness had died down. However, she found that her mind was rapidly becoming unstable.

The two of them are moving forward towards the hope of the ”Maguseki Human” project, Hikari.

And her sister, Yotaki, is watching over them from behind.

Looking into her dark eyes, I'm convinced of this--

Lady Diprakra who suddenly planned the 'Banner of Light'.

The Sith sister who was highly competitive with her fellow apostles.

Lady Legacy, who began to search for herself like a lost child.

Helmina who was once again obsessed with the study of blood.

-- I see that this is the beginning of the real final chapter, which is not a one-sided effort, as sister Yotaki said, and I hastily activate my skill 'Reading'.

I try to read the last page of this story based on all the information I can find - but I can't see the future at all.

'But today, I'm going to leave for the moment ....... Maybe Sister Sis and Master Diprakra will be looking for me. ......

Okay. Well, then, we can get someone to take it to you later. I hope you can help me out.

I left the room after only promising to receive a progress report.

I walked through the second floor of the conference room and out of the tower from the ground floor, which was crowded with researchers.

He then walked towards his original location, trying to give the other two apostles the answer to the 'Banner of Light' plan.

However, along the way, he met a master who came out of another tower.

His expression was unrecognizable due to his black mask, but he called out my name in a bright voice that showed that he had found one more hope (light).

'Tiara!　There you are!　Now that you've decided where to go next, listen up!

I glance at the tower behind my master.

This is the tower where he has studied and practiced ”spellcasting” for two years. This one has also been repeatedly expanded and has become huge like a large castle.

Many researchers from other countries have been staying in this tower, and they mainly deal with and cure the disease of the Demonic Poison.

If the tower in the corner of Fusoya's is the back research institute, then this should be the front research institute.

And then, like a dreaming boy, Master, who knew only the front side of the road, explained the outline of his journey to me.

'I heard that in the southwest valley, there's an earth ant mixologist called the bearer of the 'Divine Iron Forge'. Let's go see that man!　There's even a story about him making bangles and necklaces that absorb 'demonic poison' and help people who are sick. If you can teach me that person's skills, I'm sure Yotaki's healing will go even further: ......!

In contrast to my current situation, Master is in extremely good mood.

For the past two years, excellent researchers from all over the world gathered in Fuzyards to study the ”Devil's Poison” as planned, and they worked in unison - it's no wonder that my sister's illness was getting better.

However, the research being carried out in the Huzu Yards Country is not only aimed at curing Youtaki's sister. I'm also involved in the hellish cauldron of experiments that I just saw, so like my mentor, I can't be happy about it.

Above all, I can't stop feeling what I should call the current (...) of the world created by Sister Yotaki right now, and I can't stop being filled with unspeakable anxiety.

I hurriedly calculated the profit and loss of my next 'adventure'.

It won't be a problem for my master to perform 'savior' activities on my next trip. It's also easy to predict that I will be treated as a 'saint' beside him. However, I have already guessed that I can take the place of that 'saint'. If that is the case, the best thing I can choose is--

...... tiara?

I'm thinking with a divine look on my face when I'm approached by a concerned voice. Immediately I answer with a smile.

''It's nothing, Master. I'm looking forward to that 'divine iron forging' thing. It's getting safer these days and we have more time to spare. Let's take some time to learn the blacksmithing business this time!

...... Oh. You'll have to learn it with me.

''Let's make an item for Sister Yotaki with our own hands!　Don't just rely on Mr. Diprakra, we have to make our own sometimes!

That's right, Tiara. We've already got the groundwork for creating a magic tool (item). It's not a bad time to give it a try.

There is no need to inform Master of the bloody experiments going on behind the scenes at Foozeyards.

Abandoning the adventure and purging the Hoosiers now will only reduce the amount of technology I can steal. If that's the case, I'll give priority to this ”divine iron smith” thing first.

As far as the world of the 'Gentile' world is concerned, there is little chance that Sister Yotaki has blacksmithing skills. If you obtain the power of the 'divine iron smith' here, it can be a hand that can be used to counter Yotaki's sister.

''Yes, let's make it together ....... With our hands, we can make a weapon (item) for sister Youtaki--''

I knew that if I could just find one thing to counteract it, I could get out of this constant feeling of pointing backwards.

-- Thus, I'm heading to my next 'adventure'.

In this third year, I will succeed in imposing the 'Banner of Light' on the 'Demon Stone Man' project and gaining the skills of 'Divine Iron Forging'. I'll also finish investigating the Fuzzy Yards and figure out all the actions of my sister Yotaki until today.

However, he can't wipe out the feeling of being on the back foot.

On the contrary, they were worried that they might have been manipulated in every move they played. All I could think of was the fear that it was too late for me to do anything about it, and my fears were growing to no end.
