It was an instant.

In the meantime, Sister Youtaki's head had also been restored.

If I'm not mistaken, the 'threads' underneath her feet had gathered at the damaged spot, imitating her head as if she was going to knit it, and was converted into bloody flesh.

That's where the 'past vision' ended.

The overlapping vision completely disappeared and all I could see was Legacy-sama talking in the underground space. I wanted to complain about the too-short 'past vision', but when I saw his pale face and profuse sweating, I swallowed my words.

'Hah, hah, hah ......!　On that day, one of the heroes from this other world destroyed Yangtaki's head in a coincidence that was like passing a needle hole. But it was in vain. Yotaki gathered magic power from the tip of the ”thread” and reconstructed the head just before it was destroyed. Even if it was a sudden death, it was automatic. --This is what the Lord says is immortal.

Having explained that much, Lady Legacy takes a deep breath and catches her breath.

On the other hand, I, without even taking a breath, organize the current information.

The Lord seems to have judged the current scene to be immortal, but my view is different.

In fact, I was even more hopeful about the current vision of the past. You can't even touch the Youtaki sister with your ”body art”, but it was a bright spot that her head could be blown off if the conditions were right. The healing process is not that unreasonable either.

To me, who silently pondered this, Legacy-sama waved her next story at me.

''And the Lord says you can kill this Yangtaki, you can kill it,''

'What ......, I've said so far that I'm immortal ....... Me?

Apparently, that's where the story comes in.

In short, this is probably a solicitation to say, ”I'm going to be a pawn like the 'Apostle'.

I don't understand it either. But it seems you have a good chance. He says that he can see the scene of you alone beating Yangtaki in the infinitely branching future. That's a chance that doesn't even reach one percent, and although the odds are so slight that even a number like 0.000000 can't track it, there is indeed a victory, the Lord--

How useful I am to sister Yotaki, Legacie-sama speaks coldly and without hesitation. It's similar to what Master is proposing to quantify, and I wrinkle my brows.

And in the middle of the story, Legacy-sama - stopped.

I look at Legasy-sama's expression, wondering if he took the time to explain again.

But there was a different expression on his face than I had expected.

He was staring at his palm with a self-mocking smile on his face. Then, after shaking his head repeatedly in small increments, he muttered in a muffled voice.

'Oh ......, no. This isn't that silly, this is much simpler. I know better than the Lord. This isn't about that ......!

Saying that, Lady Legacy looked up.

And this time, she sends me words that are not indifferent and cold, but with plenty of heat.

''--Tiara Fuzzyaz. If it's true, you were the 'hero'.

...... Huh?

It was an explanation that, like Sister Yotaki's, correctly understood my preferences.

It was too easy to understand and swallow. But it was something I could never tolerate.

'You know what I mean?　You were the only one among the beings that were just made by someone else, and you were not made. You were born as a person. From the moment you met the Gentiles, you were the only one who was free. You are the only one who could save the world: ......!

I can't keep quiet on this one and I argue.

'Hey, what do you mean ......?　Yes, that's the only difference!　If there was a 'protagonist', it was a master ...... and not me ......!

''That was a 'fiction' prepared by Yotaki. You know that, don't you?　It's not real.

However, the illusion that the master is the 'hero' of the 'ideal' is easily cut off and discarded. No refutation of this affirmation is immediately forthcoming from me.

I'm not sure if there is a real 'protagonist' in our world, it's just you. ...... I'm sure Yotaki sensed that before anyone else. I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the world. ...... Hey, what did you think?　What about the adventure of risking your life with your ”ideal” hero?　You didn't think you were the hero at all, did you?　Wasn't it so fabulously fun that you almost forgot the original purpose?　At least I always envied that I was having a lot of fun. Right?

It's .......

I've had a lot of fun, and as a result you lacked a sense of urgency, you couldn't be serious about becoming 'equal' to Yotaki. I was satisfied with the status quo and spent too much time on it. That's what I'm judging.

When he arrived here, Lady Legacy, who had seemed boring all the time, came alive.

But it's not just that he seems to be having fun. He kept poking at my weaknesses precisely by describing them in terms of my favorite books.

My chest suddenly feels painful and I feel like I'm going to stop breathing.

Up to this point, 'Humanity's first visit to another world', 'Sister Yotaki froze one world', 'It's okay if your head is blown off', 'Foul view of the past or the future' - it doesn't matter what I'm talking about, only the one word, 'protagonist', is the only thing that keeps me on the edge of my seat and Let's go.

I wasn't serious: ......?

I almost forgot the original purpose of ......?

''Wow, I was serious, was ....... Definitely, I'm serious, I'm serious about 'dueling' with Sister Yotaki ......

No. Yotaki, who continued to prepare on his own while you passed the present to Aikawa Uzumi, is much more serious.

I gave a small shake of my head, saying that such a thing was impossible, but Legacy-sama's pursuit of me continued relentlessly.

''If you were serious, you should have used the love interest directed at you by 'Aikawa Uzumi' without erasing it. You should have tricked and guided Aikawa Uzumi into hitting Aikawa Yotaki. On top of that, they should have betrayed us immature Apostles in cold blood. At the same time, we should have also exploited the gaps in the hearts of the poor reason-stealers, instigated them and disposed of them well.

This was also right on target.

At the very least, sister Yotaki was growing herself and sabotaging her opponent at the same time. But I didn't.

''You never once took yourself seriously. So, unfortunately, our world is almost over. The only 'hero' was just undeserving, by the hands of an invader from another world.

With those sarcastic words at the end, Lady Legacey finished her pursuit.

I had no words to return.

If there was, it was a different part of the pursuit.

'Hey, that ....... Are you sure that's what the Lord is saying ......?

His attitude has changed too much.

Clearly, he has abandoned his role as a messenger in the process.

However, Legacie-sama nodded hawkishly.

'Of course, this is a message. The message is the reason for my existence. There is no mistake about that. ...... But I independently decided that it would be useless to just pass on the Lord's ”Hang in there, Tiara Hoozeyers” and ”There's still hope for you to turn the tables” and ”There's still hope for you to turn the tables,” so I made a few adjustments along the way.

My guess was not wrong.

But at the same time, I was surprised.

The 'Apostle' Legacy-sama, who hadn't felt any fun at all until today, had acquired human-like emotions here.

The way he mocked the Lord with a phrase that suited my tastes - it was too much to break down the mental wall I was building against him.

Thanks to that, I could listen to Legacey without mercy.

'Really?　If you're going to ......, I want to see the owner of the site. Let me see what's going on. If you can, I'd like to hear more about what you meant earlier about being in a different dimension.

'Unfortunately, I can't do that. Shamefully, the Lord is terrified of you, too.

The respectful words were completely removed, but Lady Legacy continued to receive them in a very light tone of voice, without wishing to.

'You're supporting me and you're scared?

What I'm rooting for is 'You-taki and Tiara's battle against each other'. Never, not you personally.

”...... Finally!

The fact that the Lord seems to have been hiding it from me was easily mentioned by Legacy.

It seems that he decided it was only a matter of time before I would see through it and prioritized trust by confessing his plans first.

Unlike when I was committed to the Lord's message, I could feel the bargaining between people there.

However, that meant that Lord-san was completely out of the mosquito net, and deliberately, Legacy shrugged his shoulders.

''--Oops. Apparently, this seems to be the end of the Lord's story. Perhaps it's because you spoke without regard to the Lord, you're teasing me a bit.

'Ah ......, that's a bit of a bad thing I did. I need to be reminded of that.

'Yeah, let's reflect on that. I've got to have more respect for the Lord.

It must have been a pretty rude conversation, but it still left me without any special contact from the Lord.

From that gentle response, my image of Lord-san was solidified as ”a mother who is shocked by her stray son”.

It's similar to the example of ”The World”.

I thought it would be easy to do.

When I had made up my mind that I would definitely go see him in person one day, Legacy suddenly threw a stone in my hand.

”By the way, this 'magic stone' is a gift from the Lord to you.

I hurriedly received it and checked the stone up close.

I immediately knew that it was the same type of 'magic stone' that the dead Helmina-san was dealing with.

I stare at it to analyze it further, but before I can do so, Legacy walks back the way I came.

'Now my part is over. I'm going to go back over there first and start looking for myself again, but ...... you'd better stay here a little longer. You can use that 'magic stone' to formulate a new strategy.

A valuable source of information is about to leave.

I didn't want to call off its back.

Even if I was in no hurry, Legacy would appear in front of me again. That too, this time not as an 'apostle', but as a mere Legacy, before me--

With that in mind, I left Legacy on a journey of self-discovery.

Thus, I stand alone in the pitch-black depths of the basement. Here, thanks to the absence of the influence of the 'curse', I can think long and hard.

A lot of things really happened in succession, so I decided that I needed to take a look at myself as well as Legacy.

''...... I like my master. Of course, I also like my sister Yotaki.

The first thing I said was the premise.

No matter what happens, this one thing will never change.

I am deeply grateful, longing and pining for the 'Gentiles' and the 'Apostles' who rescued me from my sickbed. They are my roots.

'But that Yotaki sister is trying to destroy our world.

It's a terrible thing.

But I don't have the righteousness to protect the world as the Lord has requested.

If there's a problem, it's that Master would be sad if the world was destroyed. I know that deep in Master's heart, he had a faint wish for 'everyone together'.

For the sake of Master's smile, I know that sister Yotaki wants to stop it.

However, in order to stop Sister Youtaki, who has already used one world as her magic source, it would be necessary to sacrifice at least one world to stop her.

If we tried to push it too far, it would result in 'Sister Yotaki and I fighting each other', just as the Lord intended.

No matter how it turns out, Master has been made to lose something important.

Then, when I asked myself if I have no choice but to give up on Master's wishes anymore - I remembered my own lines.

”--I'm going to change everything from now on. ...... I'll figure out all of the 'laws' of 'reason' and create a new law of magic. ...... I'll make the 'magic' that will make everyone happy that we set out to do together--

It was a spur-of-the-moment promise.

The words were uttered just to stop my master's outburst.

But in the back of my mind, it settled very neatly.

Of course, there is no such fairy tale 'magic'.

No matter how many times you repeat the skill 'reading', there is no such thing anywhere.

The 'magic' that makes everyone happy ....... The real 'magic', or .......

However, that's why that 'magic' is the only thing--.

I stared at the ”magic stone” in my hand.

The magical stone the Lord gave me was the crystallization of all the power that included not only the power of the dimension, but also the power of blood. When I saw the ”magic stone” as if it summed up all the pages from today, I began to develop my ”magic” as usual.

No matter what you do, the ability to repel the 'curse' is essential.

I have yet to find the 'Last Page of Tiara Fuzzyards' that I am satisfied with. To be clear, I don't like both the last page that the world imposes on me and the last page prepared by my sister Yotaki.

So I start writing one page at a time, alone in another world (・・・・・・・)

--I believe that only that 'magic' is a 'miracle' to see 'Aikawa Yotaki's Last Page'.
