Chapter 109 (1/2)

I'iant Ya belowanyone can do if I fall here

Even if I accidentally land in that ma lake, I'd be covered in fire within ine it

There's actually one part of the Yamata no Orochi buried in that volcanic crater

Even now it continues to burn in theus

……It has a ridiculous quality of immortality

「Snakes were poikilother too far for body heat regulation……」

But surely there's a liuess its battle with us is somewhere around a warm up at the an , the situation would beEnishi+ has organized a force but, I suppose it's frankly pointless

The feeling of wanting to rely on a living sacrifice is……I also don't not understand it

「……Mu」

I arrived at the shrine

the entryway is a naturally piled up rocky cave

There's a red torii built at the entryway, ropes are prepared to mark off the area

I can kind of sense a shi+nto aura, un, it really is isn't it?

It's about time isn't it～, It could be said that the ropes fulfill their role as a barrier isolating the sanctified space from the transient world

It's the boundary line between the land of the Gods and the transient world, and it's also that which is called a forbidden territory

This is as expected of a place that the Yamata no Orochi is unable to lay hands on isn't it?

Now then……I boldly transgress upon the torii, stepping foot within the shrine where darkness spreads forth

The cave becaentle incline and continued deeper

I feel like I' the volcanic crater but, it's filled with cool air within the cave

Like the waterfall's cave, I don't feel anything but coolness

After a while I exited into a strange place

An ereen lake showed itself within the cave

There's a floating island with a large crystal enshrined on it in the center

And in addition on that island without running or hiding――Makina's standing there as if she's waiting for ht lare and, she bitterly sht mind I won't suddenly attack you……Maa, probably」

The latter half of her line is suspicious……

Makina scratched her cheek as if she was embarrassed

Maa……it's fine

I ju in front of Makina and, like this, there's a ive you a full on punch for Saira's part?」

I try s

「Ahahaa!! Affir～?

Alice's attack!

My full body right straight blasts into Makina's cheek!

「Ii!」

「……Etto」

The one left bewildered is Makina, as I'm the one who raised a screae direction?」

「…………It, it's your ie sweat for once aren't you?」

「And I won't say, so like it hurts!」

「Un, I didn't particularly ask though okay?」

「……」

「……」

An, and it doesn't hurt!

「……Ma, I suppose it's fine I'll offer youliaze

Fu……you should be relieved, I struck with the back of ize to Saira yourself」

「…………I'll do as such」

U～n, should I say this is her normal condition that overly lacks in h

「So, Rin-chan is……?」

I asked her about the probleaze

I try following her gaze and, there's a hu to, organize things within my heart for a bit Please answer carefully, Makina」

「Un」

「Are you basically saying you――used Rin-chan as a living sacrifice?」

Pausing for one beat, that girl nodded clearly

「That's right」

I despaired――

I no longer, knohat should be done

「What is this……why」

「It's fine not to make such a face like this world has ended, Alice-san Rin is okay Because it's just and only that, this was necessary」

「Rin-chan, is safe……?」

Rin-chan with her eyes closed as if she's sleeping within the thick crystallized crystal

Can she breath?

She's not cold?

My heart, becauarantee it Because, there was a reason Rin had to be bound here as a living sacrifice whatever it took」

Bound, is it

……To begin with, I'll ask for her story

「Makina……please speak」

「Un……I've repeated this, 10 ti such a face, Makinawas 10 ti up to the Rin-chan in the crystal, Makina narrowed her eyes with a sad appearance

「Repeating, that first day When I came to I'd fallen here」

Makina's face distorted, as if recalling a painful ure of the person I loved However much I shook her, however ive me a response……her body steadily beca onto that person and, was crying forever and ever」

Tears welled within Makina's eyes

「I collapsed in tears there while still not knowing anything and, I also greeak……I wonder how many days passed? A certain person, caether」

That person?

「My shi+shou」

Tilting my head, her reply ca of what she knoithout concealing anything for me

「And well, what that person said was……the person I――had loved, eic in her last moments」

「Lastlike a ic, even from the viewpoint of that shi+shou」

「The person Makina loved was, an incredible ician wasn't she……」

「Of course! World first! Because she was the world's strongest ician!」

To the same extent that Makina appeared to speak happily, it was an overly heart breaking reic……was it a ic of possibility」

「I also, don't understand I suppose that if it's shi+shou she could arrive at a general concept though But……that was thus without a doubt, that person's phantasic?」

By soic and, am currently here I exist And so――I repeat」

I possible?

Magic of possibility……

But that is――

「Is that not a curse……she's the worst, that person」

「That's wrong!! That is because 『I』 used it in that sort of er, her snake pupils changed increasingly into the real thing

Perhaps because it was agonizing, Makina pressed against her pupil

「……Even as s, that can't be forgiven」

「……I have no intention of disparaging the deceased but」

Makina endlessly and endlessly, lives within repeating ti?

Her coe were the result of that were they

In short, it's that she repeated a stronger new gaht?

「That is without a doubt a curse……what a cruel thing to do」

That is to say Makina experienced the death of her precious person, 10 tiony that it couldn't be helped even if her heart were to wear out……

「Please don't say, things at your own convenience! I was saved by this miracle! My heart was rescued! Because there was hope that, this loop would finish with a happy end!」

「That's being entrapped you know……the deceased are deceased, is that, not acceptable?」

Just as, Saira is living with such pain

So that that's proper is, blasphe sad……I do think that though

「Why, why do you always say such a thing! I don't want that! Isn't it decided that I don't want it!」

Tears spilled out fro pupils that were already no different from a snake's

「I'll repeat it even 100 times even 1000 times! If I'll arrive at the future I wished for……tsu!」

「I……can't watch you, doing your best all alone」

Provisionally if Makina repeated 10 years 10 times, she's already lived mentally for the time of 100 years

100 years repeated in a cut off world

100 times?

1000 times?

I can't think……the heart will hold out

「Makina, haven't you just becoer not worn away already?」

「Haha, since ularly renewed you see……」

「……You're facing backwards」

「Aah, that's right! This is the way to use backwards facing ti to be done for my world! Because it ended from the point of departure!! Because, I can't return further than that――! I want to create, a future where that isn't so!」

My world, is it……

I try thinking, just a little

With various things, I try to take hold of ination is rich isn't it?
