Thinking about it, Yotaki has always been like that and speaks.

'It was ...... so. Come to think of it, it happened.

Only, in the end, your brother couldn't even beat me at acting.

They could see from the beginning that I was overreacting a bit to take advantage of my hidden liner.

While apologizing to my knight in my mind, I move forward.

The 'Treasured Sword of the House of Alais, Lowen' in my right hand is still in my hand.

''I was interrupted for a bit, but shall we resume? ...... What about the 'swordsmanship' in the main, I wonder?

Implicitly, Yotaki warns me that the sword fight until now was not serious.

However, this is not a reason to retreat.

Originally, I'm fighting to beat an opponent I can't beat.

I'm challenging myself to reach heights that will never be reached.

I will win .......

I repeated those words and challenged him to another round of 'swordsmanship'.

This skill ”swordsmanship” is the one I believe in the most. I'm not going to be the only one who's been in the same boat as you.

I'm not going to be able to get rid of it. I'll never--

'I've missed that, too. ...... I've heard it over and over again.

Yotaki answers that voice in his heart as well.

And as the swords and swords are struck against each other, they are taught.

'Actually, I heard it all the time. When I was a child, my brother challenged me to a game many times, and that's how I was screaming in my mind--

When people say I was a child, the following page from the previous one comes to my mind.

”--The first time I was aware of the competition was 'the special training to let the tears out freely'.

My sister accomplished it in less than half the time it took me to accomplish it, and I had my father and mother's love all to myself.

Then I challenged my sister again and again to get back to being 'the best'.

I never said it out of pride in being a brother. I challenged him in my mind and lost countless times, and then I fell apart on my own.

There was no way for anyone to know about it.

I was supposed to be the only one with memories of losing and losing and losing and being painstakingly broken, and I was on the verge of suicide - ”No (...), I was watching the whole time.

During the skill 'Reading', Yotaki's voice interrupts him.

He also brings his face closer to her, causing her to bristle, ”Look at me now, not at the memories.

Two vacant eyes flicker in front of you.

'Even though no one else was watching, your sister was the only one who watched your brother's efforts all along. You kept losing, losing, losing, losing to me over and over again, and your brother's desperation--''

............!

He was known for that consecutive losing record.

Instantly, my breath becomes shallow and thin.

Just by trying to challenge Yotaki, my body instinctively stiffens.

Even though there's no reason for the example [no one can beat Yotaki], my heart must have acknowledged it.

You can't win against my sister.

So don't go against her.

Such trauma overflows out, and the balance of mind and body that has been maintained for a long time is about to collapse.

But--

I don't care!

He shouted back and swung away.

He pushes and flicks the sword that was in a battle of wits, creating a pause.

He further prepared his body and mind to activate the depths of the Areis style.

He has not yet lost the 'swordsmanship' competition.

The flexibility of the Alais style ”swordsmanship” is available when the opponent is an overwhelmingly strong person.

The skill of sensing the flow of the world, ”sensitivity”, will help you find a way to deal with a strong opponent.

I'm going to temporarily disarm the Dimension and focus only on the ”sensitivity” skill.

It's not going to work for 'sensitivity' either. ...... In the first place, I was the one who found that Rowen Ares, right?

However, even with 'sensation', he couldn't see anything.

The 『Sensitivity』, which should be able to fight even in the darkness, did not feel anything in front of Yotaki.

I hurriedly re-activated the Dimension, and in front of me, Yotaki, who missed my failure, was smiling softly.

''It was I who named that skill 'Sensitivity' a thousand years ago. Indeed, Lowen Alais' skill of sensing the reason and flow of the 'world' is a big deal ....... But this one can manipulate the 'world' and make sense and flow. The hierarchy is very clear.

Yotaki turned his attention to his own 'threads'.

All of the ”threads” that stretched out in the air have been torn off, but there are still some that have grown from the tips of their hair to the ground. The remaining ”threads” crawled on the ground and continued to create a white wave - a stream (...) in this ”world”.

''It's a skill that I am determined not to win. ''Sensitivity (it) is.''

After finishing his explanation, Yotaki slowly walks out and resumes his 'Sword Art' battle.

I respond to it with the Aleis Family's Treasure Sword Lowen, but I am slowly becoming unable to catch up with the speed of Yotaki's Heavenly Sword Noah.

Even if I try to use ”sensitivity”, I can only feel the flow (...) created by Yotaki.

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

--I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but it's not.

Even if me, Rowen, and Rustyala combined, Yotaki alone is still better than the three of us.

If this is the case, he will be cut off first, and the victory condition of incapacitation will be met.

I can see that future. Then, before that, the magic (...)--

Do you want to use a spell called Von a Wraith?

Soooooo, Yotaki took a step back.

''I dare to give him the time he needs to use his great technique to give me the time he needs to use it.

''His life is the Alais family's very motto of 'The Sword that Ends Demons'. Hence, that magic will 'always slay the enemy'. ...... Yes, that's all (・・・・) magic (...). To be honest, I don't think it's a good match for my opponent.

I'm choosing my words, but Yotaki says it's pointless.

I'm looking at Yotaki, who in Tiara's memory was unfazed by a bullet to the head. However, just flying the head off would definitely be pointless against Yotaki.

''............. --magic 《Dimensional Decisive Operation (Dimension Graduate) 'Realize'

So (...), I used the time Yotaki gave me to strengthen the best auxiliary magic I had.

Focusing on the foul magic of seeing the infinitely branching future, I resume the fight.

”The next step is the magic - no, the 'future vision' game? Of course, I'll go along with you. It's been a while since I've exercised with my brother.

Even with that foul play, Yotaki declares that he'll match it, and he re-positions the frozen 'Heavenly Sword Noah'.

Then the distance between me and Yotaki is closed again, and as if reflected in a mirror, the crystal sword and the ice sword strike each other.

It's the same beginning as the 'Sword Art' earlier.

However, the process that led to it is very different.

As I ran, I saw the future of hundreds of battles with magic ahead of time.

From among them, I chose ”The Future of Cutting off Yotaki's Arm” and tried to draw it in. However, in reality, they arrived at the ”future where their swords cross each other's arms”.

Our swords are smashed together and our bodies are played off each other.

Immediately, Yotaki and I try to swing our swords back at each other.

Before that, the ”future vision” is performed again.

I choose the best flash of my sword from the many sword techniques and try to draw in the future where my sword will cut off Yotaki's arm, but we will arrive at the future where our swords cross each other's arms again.

'Kook--, the 'thread' is cut ......!

Nevertheless, swords continue to be struck together and the sound of high-pitched sword fights echoes.

Only Yotaki's choice of 'the future where our swords cross each other's paths' will come. In order to somehow get out of that future, I concentrate all my nerves on my ”future vision”.

The blood in my whole body is circulating, especially my head, which is heated as if it were boiling.

My capillaries swell and my eyes become bloodshot.

The enormous amount of magic that can't be contained in my skin is about to burst. With an all-time high of concentration, the color slowly fades from my blood-stained, reddened vision. Only the magical senses are sharpened and the five physical senses are lost.

As a result, the stretching of experience time by the Dimension Decisive Operation (Gradiate) exceeded the limit.

Time is compressed into compression and finally stops moving as if the snowfall has stopped.

I'm going to be able to draw the fastest sword in the stillness of time.

-- but the sword does not reach.

Swords and swords clash again.

I'm not sure how many times I've tried to get out of Yotaki's choice of a future where our swords cross each other's paths.

-- Even without the white 'thread' of the example, nothing will change.

I keep being controlled by an invisible thread, and I can't escape.

I'm going to be able to see the unfathomable eyes of the manipulator as I fight.

As if in sarcasm, he was imitating and using my magic, Dimension Graduate ”Realize”. And I can see that it is clearly beyond my magic.

However, unlike me, who was randomly filling the entire space with 《Dimensional Decisive Operations (Dimension Graduate), Pre-Sequel (Realize)》, Yotaki was only expanding on the eyeballs.

Rational.

Indeed, if you're going to attract it by sight, that's all you need to do.

Yotaki's ”Dimensional Decisive Operation (Dimension Graduate) 'Realize'” is more refined.

There is less waste.

The density of magic power is different.

The same magic, but it's not the same.

When I was painfully aware of this, I heard a voice.

''It can't be helped, ....... I'm more used to using this 'future vision' magic than my brother.

He had a very gentle voice.

With more apologies, he comes to painstakingly fold my heart.

''I'm sorry, brother. ...... Actually, from the beginning, I was able to use magic. A thousand years ago, before the Apostles taught me the 'dealings of the world' ......, when I was in my original world, I already have.

Already, at that stage, my sister was able to use the 'Future Vision'.

A thousand years ago, I came to this different world and was happy to finally have a field where I could beat Yotaki. However, that was also a 'make-believe' of Yotaki's.

All my life I've been losing, losing, losing, and losing, and I've never won.

When I was informed of this, my mind and body were greatly shaken.

'So the truth is that the Gentile summoning a thousand years ago was not 'Diprakra summoned me', but 'I interrupted Diprakra's summoning'. ...... To put it in Tiara-esque terms, the entire story of this other world was a book in my handwriting.

Yotaki drew an expression to match Tiara's taste.

Even though she was fighting me with her full strength, Yotaki was full of room to spare.

The pragmatic Yotaki wouldn't be too interested in swords or books. However, unlike me, he had the presence of mind to adapt to his opponent's tastes.

''-- Therefore, there is no reason for the power born in that book to be applicable to me, the author.

When he declared that, the 'world' finally falls out of the 'future where our swords cross each other's paths'.

No, the future other than that was chosen by Yotaki.

-- just chosen by Yotaki.

That's all there is to it, and the ”world” goes on as it does.

Slowly the 'future where Yotaki's sword sticks into my shoulder' is approaching.

It's inevitable.

Judging that, I quickly try to make my body transparent with magic.

''-- Magic 《Distance Mute》!

It won't work. It's mine, too.

However, a word.

Just as Yotaki muttered, the Distance Mute was deployed on Yotaki's ice sword as well, nullifying the evasion by permeability.

Slowly, the ice sword ripped through the flesh of my shoulder, piercing it.

''--Magic [Default]!

That too, sir.

He immediately uttered a distance magic, but it was offset and did not activate.

Yotaki didn't even utter the name of the magic anymore.

As my magic continued to be cancelled out, I had no choice but to pull out my ice sword by retreating.

Yotaki looked away from it with plenty of time to spare.

I readied the ice sword again and waited.

--Cold.

Just facing Yotaki, it's cold and my body shivers.

It was supposed to be real, but it was just as cold as in my dream.

And heading towards this too cold Yangtze waterfall is too terrifying.

--in any case, it's not a match.

Indeed, I've raised the bar.

I've perfected myself as 'the one who steals the reason for the dimension'.

Compared to the time I woke up, I've grown both physically and mentally.

Still, Yotaki and I still have different dimensions (・・・・・).

This is what Yotaki has been saying all along.

It's me now, to the extent that we can finally exercise (・・・・・・) together (・・・・・・・・).

I lack the fundamental power to do so.

I don't have enough time, desire, trump card, determination, or anything else.

It's not enough. Not enough, not enough, not enough--

That's what I know all along. Well, I'll tell you what...

Walking forward.

Believing only in victory, moving forward.

No matter how many times it shakes, I will not break.

Seeing that figure, Yotaki's smile deepened again.

Then, without mercy, he invokes more magic to show the difference in power.

''Hmph. It's useless, brother. After all, we've already finished almost the same story as this one. ...... Do you remember the family meeting we had on that 'destiny' day, at that 'summit'?　--Dimensional Decisive Operation (Dimension Graduate) ”Prequel (Recall)

If you don't remember, I'll help you remember,” he said, uttering the magic of 'Past Vision'.

The scope of its effect was very reasonable, as was the 'Future Vision'.

Next, it covered the surface of the ice sword, not the eyeball.

If I was cut by that sword, I would be rendered unable to act, just like when Ayd and Titi were defeated. The density of magic power that made me sure of this was inhabited by 'Heavenly Sword Noah'.

More than anything else, seeing the 《Dimensional Decisive Operation (Dimension Graduation), Prequel (Recall)》 easily imitated, the word ”not enough” presses even more heavily on my shoulders.

'...... Don't be so shocked. That's just the way it is. All of your magic is 'my (...) brother's magic'.

It's all your ......?

'Everything about your brother has the word 'mine' in it's head. You know why, don't you?　Because your brother is 'mine' from the beginning. So no matter what you do, no matter what you get, you will have 'mine' on the head of everything.

The current Yotaki has the power to make that argument nod in agreement.

The black pair of eyes where the ”Dimension Graduation Prequel (Realize)” resides.

The ice sword that contains the ”Prequel (Recall)” from the ”Dimension Graduation Calculator”.

It's matched (・・・・) and my heart breaks for Yotaki, who handles my trump card even better than I do.

''-- It's been a long time since I've had a good exercise. Then, let's stop with this 'my brother's magic'. Let's forget everything again and go back to the Wintry Dimension. This time no one will come to help you. There will never be a hindrance again, and my brother will be 'equal' to me. Then, we'll place the 'price' called Rastiara (・・・・・・) in the other world we've squeezed out, and then we'll say goodbye. Let's go to the next other world, ...... both of us.

I swayed and swayed and swayed and swayed, and now I'm still breaking.

But the mere mention of its name brought me back up.

Instead of breaking it, my left hand gets stronger.

I've lost a lot of things, but I've decided that I'll never let go of the book again.

It's okay. I'll find happiness with my precious sister in the next different world story. That's the kind of grand circle that's waiting for you, brother.

After the story of the other world is over, I will be happy with my precious Rustyala.

As long as I believe in that 'dream', I will never give up the fight.
