397 394. Helmina Neishas long-cherished wish.txt (1/2)

With the near-death, all the things that had been binding me would disappear.

But at the same time, I was able to see the truth that I should not have been able to see.

The world as I saw it was completely repainted.

I could clearly see the outline of the ”red thread of fate” - or rather, the red thread - which had been so uncertain as to be a hallucination. Furthermore, not only a single little finger, but also multiple red lines wavered around my legs and elbows.

Next, I turned my attention to the ”something like a stream” that distorted the space.

At first glance, I thought it was a visualization of air flow, but I soon realized that there were countless bundles of ”transparent threads” floating around. Just like the 'red thread', the lines of magic power, which have no mass, continue to slowly swirl around.

Finally, a 'break' watching me from behind.

However, with Kanami dead, the weight of the gaze of the example had completely disappeared.

The drastic change in my vision makes me feel sick.

-- If it's true, I was dead here and now.

Added to that fact, my instinct was to nauseate.

But that death 'prophecy' was off (...).

If the fragment of memory I picked up during my near-death, if I was sure, I was supposed to be the 'replacement' here. However, with Ragne's intervention, the sacrificial life was transferred to Kanami.

I suppressed my nausea and calmly looked around at the changed world.

Nearby, Nosfi, who was even more of a goose chase with the 'thread' than I was, was trembling with tears in her eyes.

Unlike me, he is entangled in two species.

Perhaps, Tiara-sama and - Kanami's sister's 'thread'. That scene makes me understand that multiple intentions are intertwined as it is.

However, although the Tiara-sama of a thousand years ago must have said that she would ”cooperate and guide” them, it doesn't look that way at all. Including Lagune-chan's raid earlier, there were many things that didn't make sense to me.

I would like to know why.

I thought that no matter what I did, I had to know first.

''--then let's go. Nosfi.

That's why I asked Nosfi to walk forward nonetheless, even though it might be too much for her, I asked her to walk forward.

And as if we were being pulled by the 'thread', Kanami had the hope that she would come back to life, and we followed Ragne-chan - on the ground floor of Foozeyers Castle, and met her again.

But when she asks Ragne-chan, ”Why? Before asking the question, she had already lost herself.

I'm going to be one of the 'stealers of reason', and I'm going to be posing myself with a lot of lost 'costs'.

'...... Oh, oh. Oh, it's me. --Ah, ah, ah, haha, ah, ah, oh my God!

The same kind of people, 'The One Who Steals the Reason of Light' Nosfi and 'The One Who Steals the Reason of Blood' Fafner were also surprised at the sudden change in Lagne-chan.

Without a doubt, Lagne-chan has become the one who steals the logic. I'm sure that my eyes can clearly see that it's the one that steals the logic of the moon.

However, compared to the past 'stealers of reason', it was strange.

I'm sure they are aware of the mechanics of how they arrived at this point in their lives and what they are still working on. On top of that, she was also working on the truth of the 'world' that I risked my life to realize just a few minutes ago.

''--You've noticed it by now, haven't you?　To the countless 'magic threads' hanging over me and your body right now!　What's truly terrifying is being manipulated from behind the scenes by an entity that doesn't even show a shadow, let alone a figure!　I'm a hundred times better than I am than I would be if I had to perform the 'Elixir of Immortality' on Kanami's brother!　We can give the world a whirl!

Ragnet-chan's body, who exclaims that, has as many 'red threads' wavering on her body as I do.

On top of that, I turn my gaze to the 'transparent threads' around me and call them 'magic threads' in an abhorrent manner.

Obviously, Ragne-chan also - I know.

However, we were not in a situation where we could question the reason for this, and we were forced to retreat from Hoozeyards Castle.

We then fled to our temporary base of operations in the underground city.

Fortunately, we are not worried about the wounded recovering.

It was because of the recovery magic of Nosfi, who had become my companion in the form of Kanami's replacement. However, even so, Kanami's sister was the only one who never woke up.

I know why.

I'm sure that from Hitaki's point of view, it's still too early to tell.

Because I know the reason for this well, I first give priority to my childhood friend Ragne-chan and gather information from the 'Celestial Knights' (Celestial Knights) in the building.

However, the newly obtained information about Lagne-chan is only that she is a talented woman from the village of Sidoa in a remote area. The only other information I have is the ”Red Thread of Fate” that was attached to Ragne's body and her own words.

-- and no matter how you connect those information together, nothing but 'contradictions' will come out of Lagne-chan.

First of all, she's 'the one who steals the truth of the moon', yet she's using [the truth of the stars] out loud.

She says she wants to be the 'first' but is trying to turn away from the 'first'.

The strangest thing is that she is trying to cut off the 'prophecy' even though she is clearly being guided by Tiara-sama.

From Lagne-chan's appearance and words and actions, it was painfully obvious that she didn't like the world as per the cliché prophecy, so she wanted to ruin it.

It's Tiara-sama who is guiding Lagne-chan down that path.

While binding everything with a 'prophecy', Tiara-sama doesn't want it to go according to the 'cliché performance'.

I don't know what Tiara-sama's intentions are.

Lagne-chan is likewise unclear about her objective.

When I was unable to decide on the future strategy--''

”'Now I'm abandoning my flag and I don't need the world's (your) blessing anymore.'

While he was having a long talk with the knights, his sister Nosfi was visiting the living room of the pavilion.

She explained that she was going to spin a 'chant' of 'magic' and gather her friends' feelings for Kanami to 'complete the 'magic' to revive Kanami'

--That Nosfi's 'chanting' and appearance reveals a bit of Tiara-sama's and Ragne-chan's intentions.

Right now, thanks to Ragne-chan, Nosfi is cutting through the years of hesitation and looking at his own 'unchallenged' and pushing forward faster and more powerfully than anyone else.

As a result, the two types of intertwined 'threads' are taut.

On the contrary, the thread is being pulled by Nosfy.

-- I had a feeling that I had seen the same scene once before, somewhere.

But before I can remember that, the second battle for the Hoosiers is decided.

The content of the strategy that was decided without much time and without 'future vision' was really sketchy: 'We'll use the Foozeyards army to enter the castle from all sides, and for now, we'll all attack Fafner and somehow get Nosfi to the rooftop,' and 'The rest will be thought of and acted upon by each of us on the spot.

But by no means was it inferior to the first time.

The voice of the 'Saintess' echoed through the Great Holy City, which had been turned into a horrific battlefield by the 'Blood Stealer' Fafner's outburst. The country is sinking into ugly blood, and the light of Nosfy's light is lit in the breasts of the knights who were prepared for defeat.

''--Now for the Hoozeyers!　This shiny 'flag' is standing!　It's raised, and it's looking out for everyone!　All the scars!　Magic and all!　Fear and all!　This flag will pay for it!

There was not only a spiritual light, but it was accompanied by a visual and magical light as well.

As Nosfi waved the ”Banner” on the battlefield, more than ten thousand knights recovered from their injuries, and their fighting abilities were strengthened.

In addition, heroes from the continent, such as The Apostle and Acting Commander-in-Chief of the Southern League, appeared as reinforcements. Then, Nosfi asks me, the 'Present God', to join them as well. As we part, I ask him.

”--Nosphy ......, now ......

'Rastiara ....... I am the legendary 'flag' of a thousand years ago. At this time, in this kind of situation, I can shine more than anyone else. So, please, can you leave it to your sister ...... today?

Because I picked up Tiara-sama's memories, I understand the mechanism of the magic that Nosfi is performing now.

I can't even imagine the 'price' of recovering and strengthening the bodies and minds of over ten thousand knights at the same time.

However, I know even before the operation that Nosfi is prepared to do this.

Even if the result is guided by someone else's 'thread', he will live through it - with pride - and this is his life (・・・・・), and I could feel his face looking only at the front.

From now on, Nosfi will use his own real (...) 'magic (...)' to fulfill his 'unknowns'.

And then disappear.

I can see (yum) that future.

”--Nosphy will reach the 'summit' and Kanami will rise.

In the end, the two people facing each other at the 'summit' will be Lagune and Kanami.

There, there was no longer 'The One Who Steals the Light's Reason' Nosfi, but she was certainly watching over them. The light she left behind will give them a 'trial' to save the two who have no content--

These are the last pages of a girl named Nosfi Hoozeyars.

There, all the 'unresolved issues' were gone, leaving only the proof that she had lived through her life.

I can't stop that happy end.

If there is anything I should stop, it is 'next'.

”--The 'Trial' of 'The One Who Steals the Light's Reason' is over.

Ragne Kaikwola falls at the 'summit' of Fuzzyaz Castle, and the Great Sacred City begins its second morning.

However, the only two people to bask in the light of that shimmering morning are Kanami and Hitaki (・・・・・・・・・・).

Only the two siblings of the 'Gentile' siblings are aligned at the 'summit' of the other world, and there is no one else--

...... Yeah, I'll leave it to you. You do what your sister does, and I'll do what I do.

With that answer, I take the two ”Celestial Knights” and head to the left.

As per my strategy, I gathered up the soldiers who were struggling against the ”Blood Puppets” and gradually approached the Hooziyaz Castle.

On the way, I can't help but turn my attention to Nosfi, who is pushing through the center of the Great Holy City.

She was clearly in pain due to the 'price' of magic.

It looked painful.

It looked painful.

It looked dark.

It looked scary.

He was probably carrying every possible debt of this battlefield 'instead'.

That's what I was worried about, and I'll continue to watch over Nosfi--

I see the light from her.

The name of the magic is ”Light Breunak”.

It's the light that smashes through the main gate of Hoozeyards Castle.

But more than that, the flash of light was carried by Nosfy's thoughts.

”It's painful, but not painful.

It hurts, but it doesn't hurt.

It hurts, but it's not painful.

It's dark but it's not dark.

I am afraid, but I am not afraid.

From now on I will die, but I will not die.

And I looked from the light (yawn).

'No, Nosfy sis: ......'

I felt like my sister had told me not to worry.

My sister's rear view was still tangled in two kinds of 'threads' on her body.

But it didn't matter.

I was moving forward, faster than the threads were leading me, and I couldn't keep up.

I'm not living out my life on someone else's stage, I'm living out my life. So--

”I'll be gone, but I won't be gone.

It felt like it.

And now I can clearly see it now.

'Oh, oh ......, this ......'

I recall that I had the same sentiment a year ago at the final of ”The Dancing Tournament”.

This is the same as the end of 'The One Who Steals the Reason of the Earth', Rowen Alais' end.

That day, Rowen was fighting in the center of the theater ship's arena with the exact same expression on his face.

A man who had himself said, ”No blinking,” emphasizing that he was on stage, dressed up more, and trying to show the audience that he was more than his original performance until his final moments.

Because of that, me and Dia and the others didn't have the option of ”interrupting inside the arena to help Kanami” until the end.

Just like us at that time, everyone in this battlefield has been watching and watching over Nosfy. That everyone included even the 'slit' gaze behind me.

Then I remembered that I had already heard the exact same situation as now.

It wasn't the words of Saint Tiara-sama, but the words of a man I couldn't trust more than anyone else: ”--Palinclone Legacy is supporting my friend's life. He never lets anyone manipulate him and wishes with all his heart to let him live out his life.

That's what the man, who seemed to have noticed something, just like Ragne, was telling me.

I now understand what that means.

'Did your mother give this to everyone ......?　Then it's--

Of his own volition, he activates the skill 'Reading'.

Then he reads Tiara-sama's plan at the beginning (...) of the new calendar year just started.

”--I now understand the role of 'The One Who Steals the Reason of Light'.

It is to make my master inherit the extreme characteristic of 'immortality'.

I have just confirmed the phenomenon that makes this possible with the magic stone just a few moments ago.

All you have to do is pull out the magic stone and make it into one.

With just that, you can inherit the power while expanding that vessel--

Probably, Tiara-sama, Little Sister, and for that matter, the 'Apostles' and the 'World' all had the same plan in the beginning.

Regardless of the 'unconsciousness' of 'The One Who Steals the Reason', they were going to gather the magic stones to Kanami.

They still thought that Kanami would grow up enough and gain strength.

--However, in this millennia later world, there was never an act of simply plucking them out and making them one.

The reason why the inheritance of the power of the 'Stealers of Reason' was not 'a thousand years ago, when they became defenseless demon stones in the World Service camp' was also understood.

Perhaps, Tiara-sama thought that it was 'not enough'.

There is not enough darkness in people's hearts. The light beyond that is also lacking.

The most important thing - for example, the girl who smiled at her parents in the Fania Arc's ”Between the lines” when she was about to die of a ruthless illness, saying ”It's okay” - that ”magical” miracle was insufficient for victory. There is none, so Lady Tiara...

'--Lady, the wall of blood is open!　Let's go!

When I understood, I had finished ducking through the fierce battle to my left.

The knights led by Serah-chan destroyed the solid walls of Fuzzyards Castle.

Immediately, I leave this place to former 'Celestial Knights' (Celestial Knights) Chancellor Perciona-san, who left the place to the former 'Seven Knights of Heaven' (Celestial Knights) Chancellor Perciona-san, who rode on the 'Beastified' Sera-chan's silver furry back that rippled, and rushed into the castle.

Just as all of my friends were rushing into the first floor of Foozeyards Castle at the same time, they were about to attack Fafner, the Keeper, 'The One Who Steals the Truth of Blood', at the same time.

Maria and Dia's resonant magic, combined with Snow's 'Dragon Wind', stopped Fafner's movement, if only for a moment.

Taking advantage of that momentary gap, I reach out my hand to the limit and shout.

''--Nosfy!

Yes!

I pulled my sister's soft, slender body into a hug, holding her protectively, and ran up to the upper floor with Sera.

In the stairwell next to that staircase, the 'dragonized' Snow followed me and beat away the 'blood dolls' that stood in the way.

However, this Fafner-controlled castle is not so naive as to end with that.

Snow, who is protecting me next to him, is on the fourteenth floor, stained with blood and 'turned into a witch' by Glenn.

I'm holding my sister now, and I'm on the 33rd floor with Elmiraad, who has turned back into a demon, stained with blood.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this.

I'm not sure that Fafner can afford it either.

''--Please, ....... The most noble bloodline in the Hoosiers, Elmirad Siddharq. Honestly, it's even worse than that one, down there (・・・・・). You're already my -- the last, of the --'

The words.

On that thirty-third floor, Nosfi and I would be stranded for a long time.

Due to the proximity of Elmirad and my abilities, the battle situation was needlessly stalled.

It was inevitable that Nosfi, who hated the situation, would choose to go ahead at his own discretion.
