However, I'm not the only one reading the next page.

'It's pointless to know now. There's nothing you can do about it now.

Before asking for the content, so Yotaki replied.

I then ask.

'Where did our dad and mom go?　There was also a childhood friend. How did Lake Nagi get to be like that ......?　Why did I have a 'curse' all along in the first place?

...... And yet, you still listen to your (...) brother.

Yotaki used the word ”still”.

In other words, that means I've been asking the same question over and over again all along.

'Yeah, listen. ...... I think it's something I need to ask over and over again.

And that Yotaki hasn't been answering for a long time.

From her interactions with Tiara a thousand years ago, we know that Yotaki has a personality (part of her) that wants to teach. If it's something that she thoroughly hides, then the answer to this question is probably equivalent to 'Death of Rust Tiara'.

Unless I uncover it from here, I can never hear it from Yotaki's mouth.

Therefore, in an attempt to extract information from her, I try to approach her while maintaining the 《Distance Mute》 in my hand.

''-- 《Default》''

However, Yotaki activated a dimensional magic to play with the distance and moved me away as I tried to get closer.

Immediately I use the same magic.

''-- Magic 《Default》''

Beyond the enemy's 《Default》, we put in magic power to push through our magic.

It is no longer accurate to say that this is a competition between 'that which steals the logic of dimension' and 'that which steals the logic of water'. Now, when we fight, it's almost like the two 'worlds' themselves collide.

It was a clash of basic magic of a small hand check, but the space between me and Yotaki was distorted and the concept of distance was thrown off.

It seemed like a distance that could be reached in just a few steps, but it seemed so far away as if we were looking at each other on the far-off horizon.

The space was twisting and turning like swirling water due to the clash of magical power in the small room. And just when he thought the room was about to be torn to shreds at any moment, a third party intervened.

As soon as a boy appeared from the stairs behind Yotaki, he swung his sword down.

However, the blade never reaches her. An icicle rose from the frost spreading at her feet and was prevented by being caught in between.

''--Kuch!

The boy who showed up, Reiner, was wounded.

There were no cuts or bruises. But most of his clothes were frozen and his entire body was covered in frostbite. The right half of his body was particularly badly frozen, and his right eye was closed. His arms didn't seem to be moving at all, and his prized twin swords couldn't be wielded. Perhaps, but he's in this state, avoiding all direct hits from all of Yotaki's attacks.

''I'm sorry, Christ!''

Ryner shouted as he jumped back, wary of the icicle.

His apology would have been to have easily let Yotaki through to his room while undertaking to stall for time.

Our Youtaki glances back and sighs.

''...... haha. Reiner-kun, it doesn't matter how many times you repeat the surprise attack, it's useless.

I'll tell you if it's a waste of time!

'Indeed, yes. It's just that I'm getting tired of you running away and showing up again and again.

Ryner continued to burn with the flames of his killing intent, even though he was half frozen.

From the looks of it, it was clear that Ryner was not only stalling for time, but also trying to finish off Yotaki by himself if he could.

He has always tried to reach out to achieve more than the orders he was given.

That straightforward boy stares at Yotaki as he continues the conversation he just had.

'...... Christ, did you get an answer?'

It's ”What are we going to do with Aikawa Youtaki? This is a continuation of the question.

The answer to that question is difficult to express in one word.

I can't forgive you for putting Las Tiara in my hands.

Even now, hostility overflows from the depths of my stomach - but I know in the corner of my mind that this is the aim of another enemy tiara that is not presently on display.

Without a doubt, the relentless 'past view' just now is a stunt to make me hate Yotaki to the point of wanting to kill him. Tiara is trying to get her hands on the falsehood of the 'red thread of fate' and hit Youtaki with the pawn that is me.

That's why I threw out the same ”stinker” word as that idiot earlier.

--just said Las Tiara.

He told me to believe in that mother (Tiara).

You're going to have to believe that there's a ”red thread of fate” and then cross it further.

He even added, ”I want to save Hitaki-chan.

He told me to believe in the ending as if it were a story--

In the end, I didn't find anything 'untried' in The One Who Steals the Reason of Water. I don't even know how to help, let alone defeat it.

Still, I believe in Rastiara until I die, and I still believe in him after I die. ......

He believes that Aikawa Uzumi would be able to defeat Aikawa Yotaki .......

I want to run towards that end.

”...... I will beat Yotaki (...)

So instead of ”stop”, he answered with one word: ”win”.

However, that gentle expression seemed to be unsatisfactory to Ryner. Clearly, he wanted him to say 'kill', but if it was such a raw victory condition, Tiara had already won a thousand years ago.

'Ryner, even if you drop your head, Yotaki will still move. But don't think that just by killing him, the world will return to normal. Let's neutralize him first, and then let him unfreeze the world.

Unlike me in The Gentiles, Ryner is fighting as one who lives in this world.

I'll tell you his terms of victory as soon as possible.

''Chit ....... After all, he's not an existence that can be cut and killed. But neutralizing this woman?

That advice was swallowed by Ryner without denying it.

He looks bitter, but he doesn't seem too surprised. Perhaps, but he had a faint hunch as he fought Yotaki.

''Oh, it's not an easy thing to do. The current Yotaki is far superior to the 'one who steals the reason'. It's ......, please.

He requests Ryner, who is very close to him, to help him win against Yangtaki.

At the same time, he calls out to his friends who are closer to him.

''I need your help. Everyone (...)

Saying that, he placed his right hand on his own chest.

Following that, he inserted an arm clad in the 《Distance Mute》 inside his body. I grope inside and look for something different from the 'thread'.

I soon found the thing I wanted.

I grab the magic stone of the man who was once the friend of the ”Original Kanami” and pull it out.

On the palm of my hand, a black gemstone shines.

I knew from its purpose, but Yotaki didn't take a single magic stone from the guardian (Guardian) even if he won against me.

Of course, relying on this means that I can't get out of her palm. ...... I believe Rustyala's words, ”Trust in everyone's 'magic'.

-- Tida.

By interfering with the magic stone, it would change its shape. This was a trick that was possible only because I understood the mechanism of the magic stone through seeing Tiara's memories from a thousand years ago.

The magic stone of Tida, the one who steals the logic of the darkness, was used as a mask.

I recreated the same knowledge as the gift of the past, and on the reverse side of the mask, I wrote the magic formula that I can add to my current one with all my might.

After a thousand years, the mask that hides in the darkness and repels all spiritual interference will be completed.

I put on that Tida mask.

My vision was enveloped in pitch blackness, but I thought that some things could be seen better because of the darkness.

Now, he could understand the true meaning of the labyrinthine 20th layer boss monster he fought a thousand years later.

A thousand years ago, Tida wanted so much and repeatedly failed in her quest to become a knight.

That's why, after a thousand years, he only focused on one thing. The one who helped her do that would be the angry but ...... tiara one. She was the only one who realized before anyone else the true wish that even Tida herself didn't understand.

'No, it's ...... next now.'

I prioritize the fight over the memories of Tida.

I also used the 《Distance Mute》 to search my body, and next I touched the magic stone of 'The One Who Steals the Reason of the Earth' Rowen.

It was natural that I didn't have the 'Alais Family's Treasure Sword Rowen' among my 'possessions'.

Rowen was inside me. I pulled out his magic stone from inside my body and returned the shape to 'Aleis Family Treasure Sword Rowen' and held it in my right hand.

I then interfere with the magic stones of 'The One Who Steals the Reason of Wood' Ayde and 'The One Who Steals the Reason of Wind' Titi, but unlike the other two, I don't take them out.

It's a good idea to be able to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

Using the magical power of the wood and wind that overflows, I create a magical robe. It's a black cloak with Tida's dark magic ”mind-body and faceless” woven into it to counter Yangtaki's ”thread”.

You're going to be able to find out more about the best way to get the most out of your new job. It's cool, brother.

That's where the white praise came from, from Yotaki.

However, I certainly miss it too.

The current me has long hair due to the long life within the ”Winter's Other World (Wintry Dimension)”. I'm not going to be able to get the same kind of information as the ”Founder's Kanami” in my memory, if I wear this black mask and black cloak.

While staring at Yotaki, whom the Founder Kanami was trying to save in the past, I focus my attention on the last magical stone inside his body.

However, unlike everyone else, she is the only one who has continued to help me without needing to ask for help. Now, Nosfi, the one who steals the logic of light, is my body itself.

This is how I finish drawing out the power of the five Stealers of Light.

I'm going to have to say that I'm not going to be able to have it. I'm not qualified to have her, so I'll fight with these five - and then I remembered one of the magic stones in my 'possessions'.

--I'm not going to be able to get the best out of it.

It's very regrettable, but it seems that that guy's story is still going on.

Remembering the face of Lagune, the man who once killed me, I carefully mix the unique magical powers of the five ”reason-stealers” into the mix little by little.

It was possible for me, who was of the same ilk as that guy.

''............!''

I wear a new magic power.

The color is black, but in fact, it's a star magic that shimmers with a variety of colors deep within.

It's not just a matter of time before you get to the point where you'll be able to get a good idea of what you're looking for. This is also an aspect of the attribute of 'star'.

And it seemed that Yotaki in front of me also agreed with this.

''The one that steals the reason of darkness, the one that steals the reason of the earth, the one that steals the reason of the tree, the one that steals the reason of the wind, the one that steals the reason of the light. You're only halfway there, but you've made it your own. You've learned from your mistakes in the past - now you're definitely getting closer to 'The One Who Steals the Reason of the Stars' by taking the right steps.
