444 440. The Trial of "Those Who Steal the Dimensional Reason".txt (1/2)

The 'answer' has already come back to me.

But I can't take it and I listen.

”Is it really ...... really ...... fun to listen to the worries of these ghosts (us) who don't even stay anymore ...... in such a dark, bloody, unpleasant place?

It was a question from the heart.

Kanami's expression didn't change at all in front of me as I asked her to confirm it.

Like a statue, much the same. She has a very calm look in her eyes, as if she is watching over her blood brother. She's still the same as when I first met her that day, her mouth is relaxed and she seems to enjoy listening to me.

A thousand years ago in the heyday of the Research Institute, I can still understand.

Back then, Fania was wealthy on the continent and the city's technology was at the forefront.

But things are different now.

There was no one here anymore. Fania in its heyday doesn't exist.

There is no cultural value to the stories we can hear from the ghosts. It's all just bitterness.

And yet, I couldn't understand why Kanami still seemed to enjoy listening to it.

'It's not that you don't have to do it, it's all you have to do. --You've come to save us all?　I can still see how it would save everyone in the Confederacy. But even everyone in The One Who Steals the Reason?　Even everyone else from a thousand years ago?　...... You're crazy, Kanami.

I didn't understand it at all, so I assumed that, and I gave up on understanding.

Pretending to be insane in front of 'the one who steals the reason of the dimension' Kanami was the limit.

Hearing my weakness, Kanami nodded widely.

And to my repeated doubts, she added--

That's how 'the real you' really feels.

Huh, ......?

The conversation became even more unsuccessful.

I couldn't keep up with him completely anymore.

I turned to Kanami and said, ”Why? I asked, ”Why are you talking about this?” and then somehow you switched to me.

I don't think you are shifting the point.

Rather, it may be the 'further answer' waiting at the end of the logic.

However, unlike Kanami, who makes full use of 'future vision' and 'past vision', I can only understand 'now'. So I want you to talk to me with the sanity of a normal person a little bit more.

Otherwise, I'm already ...... and even you are .......

'It's not my true intentions that you want to find out. You want to look in the mirror of me (・・・・・・・・) and see (・・・・・・・・) what you really think (・・・・・・・). --and this is not just for you, but for all the 'stealers of reason'.

I assured her, a little jokingly.

Kanami then rolled up the book in her hand to the 'last page'.

It may be that the conclusion of this ”Blood Land” battle is written there. Because Kanami is reading it ahead of time, my head hurts like this and I can't stand it.

The completed ”The One Who Steals the Reason of Dimension” was, as per its attributes, misaligned not only with the magic but also with the conversation (・・・・・).

However, I do miss this shift in conversation a bit.

The more I talk about it, the more my head hurts, a situation I experienced many times in the past in the ”Demonic Research Institute”. Starting with the girl who worked as a cleaner, there were many people there who didn't understand the language.

But now I understand why.

It was a misalignment.

Maybe it was our sense of value, or our choice of words, or our sense of time, or whatever, but we were out of alignment. Because of our slight misalignment and miscommunication, I was unable to communicate with anyone. Even with Helmina-san, whom I had been longing for, until the end of my life--

Poof.

In front of her, Kanami closed the book once.

'It's time to get started. --for you, the 'ordeal'.

Then he quickly opens it and rereads the book.

--The One Who Steals the Reason of the Dimension, Kanami rolls up the pages.

Together, the space in the 'Goddess Storage Room' began to distort.

Originally, Kanami's surroundings were distorted by a thick magical power, but the scope of the distortion rapidly expanded.

The 《Default》 that had been deployed earlier was probably still being maintained.

It eroded the entire room, breaking the concept of distance bit by bit, then expanding and spreading.

Before I knew it, the walls of the room were far away.

The walls on all four sides were far away from the ends of the earth, and the suffocating feeling that only a basement could provide disappeared. There were no objects that looked like things, so it was as open as if we were in a square.

However, it's never a good feeling. The sudden freshness confused me, and I groaned, my head was confused.

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

Kanami's magic, which is more monstrous than bizarre, is as sickening and dizzying as the perceptual alteration of mental anxiety tense (Alice Syndrome).

At any rate, distance is not the only concept that has changed.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most out of your time with this particular one.

With the senses of the Blood, I can understand that this is not only inside the Goddess Storage Room, but also extends to the entire Seventh Magical Research Institute outside the room.

I was shocked to see the 'Seventh Magic Research Institute' that I had recreated being easily overwritten and turned into another world by another magic.

''Aaaaah......''

I groaned and realized how the strategy that me and Glenn thought up was off the mark.

In that 'last battle', Tiara made effective use of the underground, where the 'thread' couldn't reach. That's why we followed suit and made a plan underground, and chose the deepest place in my life, the Shintai Vault, as our decisive battleground.

But that decision was a mistake.

Rather, it was the opposite.

In the first place, the Kanami of a thousand years ago--

”The heavens and the earth, shimmering with blood and water, and the sunny, tender days...

I had failed to notice that the Founder Kanami was the creator of a huge underground (...) labyrinth.

As Kanami 'chanted', the 'Goddess Storage Room' finally became a completely different room.

A room that was inorganic, orderly, and just plain big.

I had seen it before.

Three times, when he was just summoned to this era. Ten, twenty, and thirty layers of the labyrinth, and I had been in this same room. It was exactly the same hierarchy as the one after The One Who Stole Reason left.

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

He could only shake and moan continuously.

It was such an overwhelming amount of magic. It was a god-like, overwhelming magic construction.

This is the power of the 'Founder Kanami' who once built the 'Hundred Layers of the Surface Labyrinth' and the 'Sixty-six Layers of the Back Old Viasia Country'

-- 'Labyrinthization' of the underground space.

It would be a power that can't be used on the ground because it would paint over the original country and structures that were there.

In other words, if you are going to deal with the Kanami, the advantage was above ground.

I found that this underground, where I could play with space to my heart's content, was Kanami's forte, the one who steals the reason for the dimension - and by the way, everything was too late.

Kanami looked around happily at the hierarchy she had created and nodded with satisfaction.

'If it's as big as this one, I'll be good to go. ...... So let's reread it together, then. Don't worry, if it's a fun story, we (...) can read it again and again. -- Resonance Magic (・・・・), ”Reading Shift

And then I chanted a spell that I had never heard before.

The purple magic curled up like smoke, filling and seeping into this large room.

-- ”The One Who Steals the Reason of Dimension” Kanami rolled up the pages.

Eroded, the ceiling of the room, first of all, suddenly disappeared.

Instantly, a strong light that seems to burn up the ground shines in from the heavens.

I try to confirm the source of the light while being dazzled.

There is no such thing as light. The Seventh Magician's Research Institute is located above the Shintai Vault, and further up is the Blood Land, with a blood cloud blocking the sun.

And yet, there was an endlessly piercing 'blue sky'.

The sun, with its iridescent bulk, shone brilliantly.

There were just a few white clouds floating around, and most of the sky was a beautiful blue.

Under an unquestionably clear sky.

I was standing.

It was very high up and I was looking at those flowing clouds very closely.

'............?!'

I'm bathed in the wind that blows through my body.

There isn't even a wall at the end of the earth anymore.

What I could see was the mountains dyed in colorful green.

And the beautiful horizon line that separates the sky from the plains.

Astonished, I check my feet.

The ground was there. But it was slightly tilted. From its material and shape, I knew it was the roof of a building. It was also on the roof of a long, vertical tower. Underneath the tower, there seemed to be a stern and splendid giant structure attached to it.

Because of my habit of building longitudinally, I knew that there was a connection with Hoosiers.

This is ....... Don't tell me that this is ......, the Whoozuyshire Castle?

It's the Fooziers of the Confederacy. So this isn't a castle, it's a cathedral. I've moved the scene up to the highest point of it (・・・・・・・・).

Kanami is also standing right next to me, and he corrects me per my put on and says something lightly incomprehensible to me.

I'm not on a roof that large, so Kanami is really close by.

I can reach out to him.

If I wanted to resume the fight, I could do it right now.

But before I could make up my mind to do so, my eyes were taken away from me.

'Nah-- Aha! ......

The view from this special seat in the Allied country was so fascinating.

The city spreading out below us is the Allied country.

I'd heard about it, but it's a rather unique structure. Naturally, it's a very vibrant, beautifully plotted and very complete metropolis.

It's very different from the big city of a thousand years ago and the current great holy city of the 'mainland'.

The most distinctive feature is that it is adjacent to a country with a completely different culture.

The white-tinted city that surrounds the cathedral I'm currently in is the Hoozeyer's Country. To the right of that is the city of the explorer's country, Valt, and to the left is the world's largest Eltralieu Institute.

How in the world could this happen?

The origins and history of the project intrigued me.

Look at ...... over there.

Kanami points at me.

I'm caught as if I'm 'mesmerized' and I move my gaze.

I strained my eyes and tried to see what was beyond them - as if I looked through binoculars, I suddenly began to see things in the distance.

''Reading Shift is a magic to read books in different dimensions, so there's no concept of distance. You can see what you want to see in the book. In a sense, I think it's a magic that surpasses even the magic of 'past vision'.

The power that surpasses the ”past vision” that I had warned myself about.

Feeling desperate, I looked at what was at the tip of my fingers, thinking that anything was possible.

A construction project was underway.

Many citizens have gathered in a corner of the city and are using various materials and tools to repair the cracked ground. Sometimes the torn ”magic stone lines” were joined together by specialized people skilled in magic.

From the information so far, I guessed that this was the scene of the confederacy two months ago.

This is the reconstruction of the lifeline and infrastructure destroyed in the 'Last Battle'.

Everyone has been really helped by Helmina's Magical Stone Line. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Helmina's 'Magical Line' has really helped us all. The results of Fania's Magical Dilemma Research Institute have given people a sense of security a thousand years later. And the affordability of that life is also linked to the kindness of others. ......

After explaining that, again.

-- ”The One Who Steals the Reason of Dimension” Kanami rolled up the pages.

Then, in an instant, the construction was over.

It shifts to a scene of a large group of people celebrating in the city.

The 'magic stone humans (Jewelcrus)' and 'demons' who had sweated through their work were rubbing shoulders with ordinary people, happily clinking glasses together. They admired and recognized each other and shared their lives with each other.

It was dazzling. The light from The Blue Sky, but also the light of the people living in the confederacy made me squint and relax my mouth.

'Yeah. It's kind of nice to see ...... everyone smiling, isn't it? I guess that's what I enjoy about just reading about a country's history and technological development.

Kanami's gaze was then directed downward.

By magic that doesn't require you to look anywhere, you can see through the roof beneath your feet.

In the temple in the building directly below, an advanced sacred magic was being activated in the temple.

The surge of its mighty magic was familiar.

Downstairs, an Apostle Sith, who had become a magical body in the world a thousand years later, was giving a great deal of recovery magic.

His opponents were people who had once looked down on him as a natural sacrifice to save the world.

They are carefully treating each one of the people in the queue one by one. Serious illnesses that would have been dismissed a thousand years ago are being cured one after another very easily, thanks to the most advanced recovery magic.

At first, the Sith had a troublesome look on his face, but as the people around him kept thanking him, he was slowly getting better. To the people who left with their heads down, ”Respect me properly! He called out to her. It wasn't just for the sake of his own power, but simply because Sith could also read from his noumenal face that he was doing it because it was fun.

'It made me happy to say thank you, and it made me want to help someone else again. I wanted to save as many people as I could. Something as simple as that was the reason I started out: ......

Kanami's gaze moved again.

As I followed the tip of her gaze, I saw Kanami living in the United Kingdom.

It's different from the Kanami next to me now. Perhaps it's the 'Kanami of the past'.

Just as she was about to finish her work and start a shopping date at the market with a former Apostle girl, Dia. However, the next time Kanami turns her attention, she also sees Kanami holding Snow in the arena of the Epic Seeker, a guild in the country of Lauravia. Furthermore, the scene of everyone holding a dinner party together at Maria's house on the outskirts of the Valt Country--!

The timeline was a mess, but you could see every Kanami holiday at a glance.

At the end, we even saw them going on a hot spring trip out of the confederacy.

Every Kanami looked peaceful and happy.

They seemed content and 'happy' as well.

”--This is the continuation of 'The Story of Rastiara' (...)

Saying that, Kanami stared at the empty space and smiled at it.
