403 400. The final battle of "Aikawa Vortex Wave".txt (1/2)

It's the last time Serdra gave me, but not by much.

The fingertips of the skill 'Reading' feel that there are no more pages left.

--I know that this is the last page.

Blood floods from my chest and spreads to the depths of the earth.

A pool of blood had formed that made me want to cover my eyes, as if I had knocked over a full vessel. Nearby, the world's largest tree, which had lost its core, was beginning to creak and fall. Soon, this lowest level would collapse.

'Hey ......, still ....... Are you listening to me ......?

Before that, I asked the question into the air.

To my 'one and only destiny' who has been watching over me for a long time--.

I just can't hear the response.

You can't hear it.

”I'm going to die alone,” because it's been decided for a thousand years.

But I loosen my mouth with confidence and continue on.

I want to save ......, Hitaki-chan. You didn't understand in the end, but I'm really grateful that you gave it to me, so ......

I fought for it with everything I had.

So, please don't give up on Kanami either. Even if it's impossible in terms of [reason], even if it's blocked by [strings], even if [everything] is in someone else's hands, I want you to seriously challenge me. I'm sure Kanami can be a better performer than I am.

'Tiara-sama also wished to repay me for the favor I once gave away ....... Because the 'adventure' that was given away to us was fun for those of us who were trapped in it. Our book was really fun. ......

I reach out to that 'adventure'.

It was the only thing I had with me at all times, without the useful power of 'possessions'.

It was a book that I kept in my pocket - a bundle of papers that I can't yet say I carried with me. It touches the record of my 'adventures' that I've been accumulating little by little over the past few years.

My Memoirs, which I had tried to bind but never managed to do, still had some space left over.

Although it is titled the final chapter, it is a blank piece of paper that has yet to be written down. There are many things I want to write in there. But I don't have time to write the rest now.

That's the last of my 'unconsciousness'--

It will never be.

This book will be completed even without me.

--Kanami will write the rest of the book.

And as long as Kanami continues to write, My Memoirs will continue.

The story will continue even if one of the ”Only One Destiny” is missing.

There was such a book in that cluttered, blue-sky classroom when I was trapped in the cathedral. The last page had a happy ending and they were very happy and laughing. So I always kept that book within my reach, to read it again someday--

'Oh, ....... Now, I think I can understand a little bit about how everyone feels. A thousand years later, all the 'things that steal reason' were waiting for Kanami, not Tiara-sama or Hitaki-chan (・・・・・・・・). Even though their own last page was set in stone, they wanted to be spun by Kanami: ......

If you want to color the last page with victory, you can ask Tiara-sama and Hitaki-chan, who control the 'thread', to help you.

But they all turned to Kanami together.

It was because he was weak, and because they believed that he would cherish their defeats more than anyone else.

With Kanami, he deserved to lose and be entrusted with it.

With Kanami, he deserves to trust his own life and his true ”magic” to Kanami...

”-- Trust in that everyone's 'magic', Kanami.

That's the last thing I wanted to tell you.

I want you to believe that Tiara-sama and my 'magic' as well.

Kanami is the only one who can compose everyone's 'chanting' anymore.

The true value of everyone's 'magic' was made so that only Kanami could understand it.

For Hitaki, who always reads the book from the end - a power that he can never read.

'Ah, ah, ......'

Now, there's nothing more to say.

All that's left to do is close the book--.

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

I'm still alive.

I'm a little more stubborn than I thought I would be and I'm in a bit of trouble.

Tiara-sama must have made it all possible for me to get out of the way. However, I just can't have this free time.

The pain is past its limit and there is no pain.

Only a gentle sense of accomplishment drifts through my chest.

All further words would only be a snake's tale.

I knew that, but the words spilled out of my vessel.

'............. ...... And, Kanami, I love you, I love you. I love you big, big time.

I repeated what I already knew.

And when I said it again, I was a little embarrassed. Although my face, which was pale from blood loss, didn't bleed, I felt a little bit of the body heat I had lost returning to me.

--warm (...).

At the end of the day, I feel really warm, warm, warm, warm.

Like sinking into a warm sea, my consciousness slowly drops away.

--I guess I'm at ease now.

After all, Kanami and I are the only two people connected by the red thread of destiny.

I love Kanami more than anyone else in the world.

Kanami loves me more than anyone else in the world.

That love is so heavy and deep that no one can defeat it.

One by one, in turn, I confirmed that it will never reach Dia, Maria, Snow, that Tiara-sama, or Hitaki. Even that 'world' acknowledged [Ri].

And at the end, when I was biting into the highest comfort level--

”------- (・・・・・・・)-- -- (・・・・)

I received a dictated response to my serpentine 'confession' that was not supposed to be delivered.

I can't hear it.

But I can understand it.

He gave me an understandable 'answer' to something that was obvious.

That's already been the case for me--.

Oh ......, haha.

Inevitably, my mouth gets loose .......

At the same time, my eyelids also loosen up.

The strength relaxes, and little by little, ......, like a curtain, a black curtain descends on my vision, and the light gets thinner .......

I don't feel the need to open my eyes at all anymore .......

Because now I read one of the best sentences on the last page .......

'Yes ......, wow, servant ......--'

I answered, and I shut my eyes.

Behind those eyelids, I can see my 'dream'.

One day, after all the battles are over, Kanami and I are walking through the streets of the Confederacy. We are holding hands like two lovers, laughing and happily spinning the rest of our 'adventure'.

Believing in such a future, I let go of the book called my consciousness - and dropped it.

I love Kanami (・・・・・・・・)--

That was the last page of Rustyala Hoosiers.

The end that had been predetermined since I was born.

With that sentence in my arms, I die--

◆◆◆◆◆

And I watched it all the way through.

'Oh, ah, ......'

I saw that battle, that defeat, that death, from so far away, so unreachable.

But I felt it more up close and personal than anyone else. And I answered. I knew I should never say it, and yet--

I uttered, ”I love Rastiara (・・・・・・・) (・・・・)”.

That disciplined response was the last page of Rastiara.

”--I love you.

I die holding that one sentence in my arms.

Here and forever, Rastiara Hoosiers will continue to 'dream' --

This was Rastiara's ”dream” and I saw it with my ”past vision”.

From the moment he met me - or rather, long ago, long ago, from the moment he was born, not to mention when he was a child, Rustiala had been having a dream. I'm not going to be able to say that I'm happy with it, I'm anxious without it, and that's all my life was, according to Rustyala himself.

-- so he had no choice but to say it now.

This is how I took care of Rastiara's death.

However, my eyes of ”past vision” are still open.

In order not to miss Rustiala's figure even for a second, I continue to grasp the situation from the special perspective of the Dimension.

By looking down from the air, he was able to capture Rastiara's figure clearly.

In the center of the beautiful bright red circle of blood pools, Rastiara's long, shimmering hair is spread out in a circle, unmoving as if she were sleeping.

He's not breathing anymore.

His heart isn't beating.

By all accounts, it's already ...... dead.

The 'break' confirms that too.

The 'world' that was watching from the same point of view as me also acknowledges the conclusion of the transaction.

It's the establishment of the 'curse' that Aikawa Uzumi possesses, that the one she loves most will die.

Because of that, now Rastiara's soul was captured by the 'world'. Through death by the 'curse', it was confirmed from the 'world's' reason that he would not be brought back to life no matter what.

That's what I, who grew up as 'the one who steals the logic of the dimension', understands.

As long as I am alive, the 'world' will never again take its eyes off Rustiala's death.

That means that Rustiala and I will never be able to walk through the same time again.

Little by little, the parting of Rustiala comes with the realization that we are parting ways with Rustiala.

Looking back, Rustiala's end was the same as Nosfi's.

Even before she was dying, she was worried about someone else, someone who wasn't her, and she had said that she wanted to help. Exactly, they shared the same blood - they were sisters who looked exactly like each other.

And neither of those sisters would ever come back to life again.

They both became 'replacements', so as long as I am alive, I will never see them.

I'm not sure if there's a way to do it, but if I do, I'll be denying their wishes and their ”dreams”. You'll be creating a deeper ”unrealized desire” than anyone else.

I'm dizzy.

Not sadness, but anger at the enemy for writing that mechanism into the sisters' fate.

'Yeah, that's it. ...... a lot of things.'

The voice of the enemy who wrote those pages can be heard in the midst of my ”past vision”.

It's Tiara Hoozeyers, the girl who has been using my past vision to show me the truth for so long.

She declares it's the end, and my ”past vision” fades away.

Since I had witnessed Rastiara's end, I had no reason to resist. However, I thought that after it faded away, it would return to the present me - but that didn't happen.

The example 'Red Thread of Fate' that is connected to me is pulling me back. I read out the 'Memoir' that Rastiara had written at this time.

It's a record of Rastiala's 'adventure' with me .......

”--Ah, finally .......

I finally got out of the cathedral and joined Kanami .......

On top of that, today, for the first time in my life, I participated in the festivities.

We all walked together and played around on the eve of the 'Nativity'!

Everything was new to me, and everything was more fresh than I had ever read in a book. No, it was like walking into a book. The shooting, the catching of fish, the eating. We had only just met, but we were like storytelling companions at the festival.

Once Kanami and I were alone, we talked about many things.

The story of my original saint, Tiara-sama, and the World Tree.

Then I tried to talk about Tiara-sama's 'magic' and found out that it didn't exist in Kanami's world ...... From there, it was all about Kanami's world, and he taught me history and science that I had never heard of before. But the one I enjoyed the most was the heroic tale.
