'Is this a made-up 《Replace Connection》?　...... That's more like a Noi type than a Yangtaki type. It's just like, we're in the middle of research and development.

Although he was often seen as sketchy, he was good at analyzing this kind of information.

''Yotaki's 'jutsu' that transports all of space isn't right for me. I think the gate type that Tiara had acquired from Noi in the past would be faster to use.''

'I see. So you've been imagining this magic circle as a gate and testing it repeatedly. If you complete it, it will be a magical gate that anyone can use.

'In case you're wondering, I'm thinking of that as a finished product: ....... It's dangerous to leave them connected, so I'll lock them up as soon as I'm finished. Just like the many Connections above.

And we start rubbing elbows with each other about our research agenda.

'That's a fair point. ...... At a glance, it looks pretty shaky.

''Even though I know the theory, the only person who can put it to practical use immediately is Yangtaki. Even if I try to use it, it's really hard to stabilize it and it's hard to get it to work .......

You're not stable because you haven't trained hard enough. You can use me like a guinea pig and practice on me. If you're going to warp to magma, I'll be fine with it.

'Yeah, ....... I'm trying to make sure that doesn't happen. They won't accept anything less than an affordable, uninhabited island as a destination.

'I feel like it would be more efficient to just make and send and make and send and repeat without worrying about those details.

No, no. I'm not letting the creature pass unless I'm 100 percent sure it's safe.

But that's not going to last forever--

Me and Serdra's personalities are opposites, and we basically disagree.

However, we were just as eager to study magic as each other, which was just fine.

There aren't many people who can give me an opinion on magic now.

The joint research is really fresh, fun and meaningful.

--I'm not going to be able to get a good deal more than a few minutes of your time.

After a couple of minutes have passed, I'm called by the 'Magic Stone Human (Jewelcrus)' who came into the room and called my name.

''--Um, Rastiara-sama!　Master Feydert is calling you!

A summons is given from above and I interrupt the discussion to speak for Rustyala.

''What?''　I was just in the middle of something interesting: ...... Is that an emergency?　I can't wait to play some more: ......

It's rather urgent. He really needs your help.

The 'Magic Stone Human (Jewelcrus)' became a troubled face against the respected Rustiala, but he was able to convey the report from above.

Rastiara, who was next to me, seemed to want to enjoy the magic discussion a little more.

However, me and Serdra were all together to break up our research.

''I guess that's it for today. We'd better do our job properly. This [Replacement Connection] is my own choice, so there's no need to rush it that fast.

Reconstruction is the livelihood of everyone in the Confederacy, so ......, I don't blame you.

There was no way to continue the discussion with this, no matter how much Rastiara complained.

Next to him, Rastiara said, ''Just a little more! I ignore his insistence and try to head up to answer the call.

Behind me, Serdra - I don't follow him (・・・・・・).

She walks over to the bookshelf next to the magic circle, randomly pulls out a book and begins to read it with interest.

'Is Seldora going to stay here?'

'Yeah, I'll stay. ...... Eventually, can I read the material here and try out the magic?　Unlike Kanami, I'm unemployed right now, and I have a lot of time on my hands.

'That's fine. Serdra seems to be good at developing magic, so I'm open to that sort of thing.

Yeah, I'm pretty good at it. A thousand years ago, you and I were talking about things like this.

'Let's see, ......, that's when I was turning in my 'North'. I've got some work to do today, but we'll talk about that and more. I'll be off then. I think I'll be back by night--

Yeah, go ahead. I'm me, and I've done a lot of things I wanted to do--

I head back down the stairs I came down, leaving Seldra to start getting lost in her reading.

Then I meet up with Feydert in the warp room as an example and hear that there is a problem with the food situation. We quickly make our way to the ground and I firmly solve the problem. One more thing: I'm going to pay off the debt left by my sister and Tiara.

-- instead, that tenth day passes away nicely.

From the next day, whenever I went to the lowest level of the room, a collaborator named Serdra would be waiting for me.

Whenever I found free time, the two of us would work together to stabilize the Replacement Connection. Of course, my main job was to restore the Allies, and my research was just for fun for a change.

So it seemed that the efficiency of development had increased with the two of us, and the amount of waste had firmly increased. Along the way, they even created new magic that was completely unrelated to their work and laughed at the silliness of it.

It was fun.

It was a lot more fun than it had been when I was alone and carefully studying it because it was dangerous.

More time to heal, I thought.

Thanks to Serdra, I might be able to get back on my feet by the time the Allies were fully recovered. That's what I started to think, and then a day, two days, three days, and then time went on - and then...

--The 'ordeal' begins a week after Serdra and I begin our collaboration.

On that day, I was in a deep sleep.

I've moved my sleeping quarters to the basement of the cathedral to shorten my travel time.

I sleep in a bed in a dimly lit hidden room, and I don't have any 'dreams'.

It was a restful sleep, as if I was drifting in the quiet, pitch blackness.

Because it was the only time I could forget the sorrow of mourning the loss of someone I loved.

That's why I cherished the time I spent sleeping more than anything else.

However, on this day, in the darkness of peace, a 'voice' resounds in the midst of the peacefulness.

'--Ka, Kanami!　Get up and--

The 'voice' that tries to awaken me.

I don't want to wake up.

If I wake up, I will have another dream.

I don't know when I won't be able to endure the dream, so I want my mind to rest to the limit.

I want to sleep twice. If possible, I would like to sleep again and again. I want to sleep for as long as possible and turn away from this world without Rastiara - the only reason why my request to turn away from this world without Rastiara cannot be fulfilled is because of the 'voice' that is put on the 'voice'.

''--Perhaps, the enemy!　Kanami, I don't understand it, we have an enemy coming!'

The enemy.

That word awakened my brain.

”----!

As soon as he woke up, he bounced off the blanket and raised his upper body.

With a habit from my explorer days, I unfolded the Dimension without chanting and gathered information about the nearby area.

The hidden room I use as my sleeping quarters is dimly lit and cramped with many bookshelves.

The small room was filled with a group of deformed black creatures.

In front of the bed where I am sleeping, they are holding something that looks like a black iron lump in their arms.

I'm surprised at the group of deformities that are also too deformed.

However, even though it is a deformity, it does not have a distorted shape like monsters or ”blood dolls”. Rather, they are completely humanoid, with no trace of evil.

Still, the reason I described it as a deformity is because that group - no, the four soldiers were equipped in a way that was unbecoming of the other world.

The information that the magic 《Dimension》 teaches me is ”Helmet”, ”Assault Suit” and ”Bulletproof Vest”. If I wore the clothes of the other world, then it is the armor of the other world.

The information that should only be available in the original world is entering my head one after another.

I've seen it before.

But it's not me, it's the memories of Yotaki and Tiara's magic stone inside my body.

A thousand years ago, when Yotaki froze the 'Original World', there was this same enemy.

Perhaps they were soldiers prepared by the countries of the Original World to stop the frozen world. And it's not an existing unit, but a special unit formed for the purpose of killing that Aikawa Yotaki. Those special soldiers were now standing right in front of me.

Seeing that I suddenly got up, they were surprised and gasped.

''----!''

They seemed as surprised as I was, but one man raised his hand quickly and silently.

His thoughts are lean and quick to judge.

--just slow.

It was a movement that could be seen as military training, but it was inevitably within the realm of humanity.

It's too dull for me, who gained enhancements such as 'massless nerves' and 'massless muscles' through the 'magic poison'.

Before the black iron lump held in the hands of the special soldiers - a firearm that looks like an automatic rifle - started to move, they had time to deploy more than ten magic.

At the end of four muzzles, after deploying the space-distorting magic 《Default》, flashes of light flashed from the muzzles of four of them.

A total of twelve shots were fired.

Three shots per person, briefly, three shots each.

''--Huh?''

The bullets pierced the wall of the ”Deforto”.

I let out a fluent voice at the fact that twelve bullets flew straight at me.

However, the bullets still didn't hit me.

I only twisted my upper body and dodged them with minimal movement.

It simply wasn't that fast of an attack.

At this distance, the properties of the gun were not utilized, and it was only a sharp thrust for four swordsmen.

But that would be the feeling of the sword and magic world.

The four soldiers were clearly upset in front of the man who had been fired at continuously in his sleep and was unharmed, and the four soldiers were clearly upset.

While backing away, they let out small voices to each other. Quite simply, they exchanged information over their radios: ”Right on schedule,” ”Different story,” ”We'll continue,” and so on.

In the meantime, I'm also sorting through the information I've collected.

First of all, there's a bullet lodged in the wall behind me.

I'm not going to be the only one who's been in a position to do that.

I'm not going to be able to get it done, but I'm in danger of being damaged if I'm caught by surprise.

Like Rustyala said, it's probably a sufficient group of enemies.

These enemies have come to this secret room to attack me in my sleep.

With a somewhat familiar feeling, I was calmly surveying this development.

I have no proof.

But this is what Serdra wants to do.

And Rastiara next to me is inappropriately smiling even more dazzlingly than usual.

The 'Trial' of 'The One Who Steals the Reason', like reading a book, very happily--
