Seldra chewed and swallowed my words fully.

And then I managed to get the confirmation of my various doubts mixed in with my mouth.

'Oh, ah, ....... That's right. Quite right, Kanami's right, but ......, are you sure you don't use magic?

'I haven't used it. I'm still adjusting to the magic stones, so I try to refrain from using them as much as possible.

But it's still this. ...... that's right. You're the man who beat Yotaki and Tiara.

From the point of view of Seldora, a third party, that's how that 'last battle' ended up being handled.

I remembered Seldora's increasingly cautious attitude.

I remember the same attitude I had when I faced off against the logic-stealers in the past. No matter how much the ”Stealers of Reason” insist that they have no hostile intent, they never seem to relax.

What I'm particularly wary of is the 'past view' with the 'Distance Mute'.

I want to release that caution and tension, so I explain.

”I don't intend to 'see past' anymore,” I explain. Unlike everyone else's, Seldora has a lot of time on his hands. Seldra can use her own power to fulfill her 'unknowns' little by little, on her own.

What's important is that we grow up in this post-millennial world.

It's doubtful that they'll be able to accept 'the one who steals the truth' if they suddenly confront it with a 'past view'. Only when they grow up and accept their true selves will they finally be able to settle their fate a thousand years ago.

That's what Tiara was talking about: ”The more you shake off the 'thread', the more you really live through it (・・・・).

After all, the most important thing you can do is realize that you're on your own ....... There's no point in magically skimming through everything and getting to know the 'last page'.

There was a feeling in my mouth that was perfectly applicable to me.

The 'mirror' nature of my magical power reflects the image of others to me.

At the same time, I often find my own image in others. Recalling my battle with Lagune Kaikwola, who had the same magical nature, I cautioned myself.

After listening to my explanation, Serdra's mouth twists into a crooked smile.

''Ha, haha. The feeling of this conversation flying by is like 'Aikawa Yotaki' at its best. It's easy to be able to read your thoughts, but the conversation is still crazy fast ......

Even though Serdra was a friend of Yotaki's, it's true that he was clearly talking too fast now. I apologize, confirming that even though I'm slowly regaining my composure, I'm still far from being in my element.

...... Sorry, I'm sorry. I'll be careful. I might have let my guard down a bit just because I'm dealing with Seldora.

No, no. Kanami is fine as it is. You can use all the skills and magic you can get, and get more and more troublesome conversations over with. At least you don't have to hold back with me at all.

But it was instantly denied.

Instead, it is strongly recommended.

”You seem to think of magic as a cowardly shortcut ....... Magic is an inherently shortcut technology.　It's easy and convenient, so everyone in the Confederacy is eager to learn and acquire magic. It's a bit too arrogant to say that you don't use it because you have too much.

Serdra looked around and looked at the streets of the Confederacy.

There was a 'magic line' (line) that had been re-stretched with the highest priority.

In front of that plausible opinion, I can only nod my head.

''So, Kanami. First of all, make a shortcut to my wish with the magic 《Replace Connection》. Safety is useless, so please do it as soon as possible.

Serdra went back to the story and asked me to prioritize speed over safety.

But that was an unacceptable request for a guide.

'That magic is really dangerous, you know?　I'm trying a lot of things right now, but if I fail, I'm left in a 'between dimensions' kind of place.

Wow, that sounds like a lot of fun. As for me, as long as I'm not bored anyway.

'Hmm ....... I'd like to do more experiments to get the organisms to giggle. ......

To be clear, 'Moving from world to world' is beyond the boundaries of magic.

I would be proud of my sister, but that was Youtaki, so I could use it lightly. I'm not a Syscon, and I hated that guy, but if it wasn't for Youtaki, the most talented and pretty sister in all dimensions, the safety guarantee of the Replacement Connection was far from being realized.

''Then you can use me for that experiment. There's no other test material (guinea pig) as tough as me, okay?　Most importantly, my interests are perfectly aligned with mine, which want to get a peek at the other side before anyone else does.

When he heard of the danger, Serdra was not frightened.

He was confident that he could adapt to any place.

On the contrary, it was an expression of knowing the dangers of magic and coming up with something to do. Only I can see it, but Rustyala's 'face thinking of something bad! He insists.

With some hesitation, I agree.

'...... fine. Just now, I'm on a date with Rustyala, and I've recovered quite a bit, not in terms of MP, but in terms of so-called SP.

Basically, 'that which steals the reason' is a high priority.

Above all, I feel a slight but flow (...).

Avoiding this will make the situation worse.

'Eh, Esupi?　No, I kind of see what you're trying to say: ......

'I guess we'll know when the trip is over. Then I guess we'll do it quickly. --magic connection.

I unlocked the 'covert' and got up from the couch, generating a magical portal in front of me.

I passed through it with Serdra and moved across the dimension from the 11th crossroads.

The destination was a crypt where a large number of office desks had been brought in.

It's a 'Government Affairs Office and Connection Storage Room' with a high concentration of 'Connections' in the basement of the Hoozooars Cathedral.

It's where they call me ”Kanami-sama! There were ”Jewelculus” people working there to greet me.

I raised my hand and responded, ”I'm going to walk through,” while walking to the corner of the room.

'Seldra, this way. We have a special lab on the bottom level (・・・・),

I called out to Serdra, who was looking around, and opened the stone door instead of the many [Connections]. At the back, there is a staircase that leads further down.

I went down the stairs with Serdra.

On the way, even if we passed 'Demon Stone Man (Jewelculus)', even if there was a door that could be turned off to the side, we kept walking downward and downward in single-mindedness to reach the lowest level.

After opening some thick, heavy stone doors, we entered the room we wanted to enter.

It's a very large room.

When we were here before, there was only a bed in the middle of the room, but after the Last Battle, the interior of the room has changed dramatically.

First of all, there were new bookshelves lined up around the walls.

Just like in the warp room earlier, an office desk had been brought in, and several 'Jewelcrus' people were working on some kind of task.

And in the center of the room, there was a beautiful field of flowers that could be mistaken for being on the ground.

The bed is still the same, but it is placed haphazardly. But above and around it were bouquets of colorful flowers.

Not a single wilted flower is left in the bed.

The 'Jewish Stone Humans' (Jewelculus), who are probably in charge of it, notice me and Serdra's arrival, smile as much as the flowers, and shout out in welcome.

''Ah, it's Rastiara-sama!

Welcome home.

Lady Rastiara is back, people!

It's the same as the ”Magic Stone People (Jewelculus)” in the ”Political Archive and Connection Vault” above, a reaction that is fatally off (・・・・・).

I see the visions that they would have seen, and I see them as well.

I become Rustyala and speak for them.

''We're home! My sisters, I've got a date with you!

Rastiara's tone, the inflection of his voice.

From the smallest gesture to habit.

I had the skills to reproduce them.

The 'Magic Stone Humans (Jewelculus)' converse with me, acting like an actor, overlaying the figure of Rustyala on my figure.

''Hmph, that's good to hear.''

'Huh?　But don't you still have extra time to rest?

'It's your day off today, ......, are you going to play with us?'

”'No, sorry. I'll see you next time to play. Today, I want to study magic with him over there. He's a friend of Kanami's, so you'll have to forgive him for being here.

After briefly answering the purpose of their visit, the 'Demon Stone Humans (Jewelculus)' reluctantly nodded their heads.

''A friend of the Primordial Master?　Well, then, I don't blame you.

'Yes!　Because the completion of the Replace Connection is one of our 'dreams'!　We will never, ever interrupt you!

I hope and pray that you two will soon be able to travel to the real 'other world'!

They did not talk back at all.

But instead, the 'Demon Stone Humans (Jewelculus)' began to pray.

''-- True Revan gods. Give us the light of salvation, poor us--

”To the 'Founders' who changed our 'destiny'...

”To the 'Present Day God' for coming down to this earth. Thank you from my soul...

''Hmm, thanks, thanks. Okay, I'll be over there for a bit, experimenting with magic with Kanami.'

Leaving the 'Jewelculus' and the others who began to pray on the spot, we walked along the walls of the room and moved around the room.

On the way, Seldora, who was watching in amazement, asks me in a whisper, ”Kanami, what was that?

''Kanami, what was that ...... no, what are these guys?''

You're the girl who couldn't stand a world without ...... Rustyala. I'm not here today, but I've got some beastmen and ex-slaves whose circumstances are tricky, and others who are working in these depths.

The 'Magic Stone Humans (Jewelculus)' who started praying towards the empty morgue bed, sometimes can't even communicate with their friends upstairs due to their 'hallucinations'.

The biggest problem is that everyone in this room is generally high in 'qualities'.

The fact that they have a lot of magic power but their minds are unstable is often treated as a dangerous bomb on earth and handled. To prevent that from happening, I built this room at the beginning of my recovery.

It's okay to work with me, I'm just asking you to take care of my private hobbies. Of course, I'm paying you out of my own pocket, and as you get rehabilitated, I'll let you move back up the ladder a little bit.

'Oh, oh ......, that's what you mean. It would be nice to get on the ground someday ....... It's just, it's like .......

Serdra looked at the staff, who could only live in the depths, and gave them a somewhat pained look.

Then, after much deliberation, he gave his natural opinion.

''Why don't you use Kanami's magic to heal them?''

'Magic is a last resort. Unlike physical wounds, emotional wounds are best healed naturally.

If you want to cure it, you can cure the gap between you and reality called 'hallucination'.

However, I didn't want to describe it as 'curing'.

If they are chasing after Rastiara because they want to, I believe that this is the normal state of affairs. If you deny that, then I'm doing the same thing, and I'm ”curing” you.

...... Sure, you're right. There's nothing good about being in a hurry. It's a bad habit for ex-military personnel. I just thought this 'most counter-intelligence-friendly room in the world' could be put to better use in a different way. Never mind that.

We stopped when Seldra answered that.

We stared at the magic circle painted on the wall facing the doorway of the room.

Caught in the act, Serdra also looked at the wall. I read the words on the magic circle and the residue of magic power and instantly understood the situation.
