43 Episode 42: Clues are in Gori Mist (1/2)
'Unfortunately, Princess Anisphere has a magical talent...'
'I didn't know any magic would react at all...'
”Aren't you an abominable child...?
”How painful......”
I couldn't use magic. No magic ever took shape.
I'd be lying if I told you I wasn't shocked by the fact that I couldn't use it.
I heard sympathy from around, but it didn't bother me.
Because it's something I couldn't use originally, so I can't help but use it.
But I knew. There is always a beginning and an end to the world.
There is more to the beginning and more to the end than the world is in front of me.
So even magic has a beginning. That's why my heart jumped.
How can magic be magic?
What spirits are necessary to use magic?
Why should I pray to the Spirit,
Is the word of prayer anything good as long as it is in prayer?
Where is the Spirit born, has a life span, etc.?
Why can't I use magic? There may be a way to use it.
Because that's where the magic is. If only that principle had been revealed, I'm sure.
There was no reason to mourn, only there was a desire to solve the mystery.
There was no such thing as despair in the world. The magic remained unchanged and hopeful for me.
Let's figure it out. Because it's my dream. Follow, reveal, and.
I use magic. This determination of mine has not changed since that day.
... I had such a nostalgic dream.
”... Hmm... I was asleep...?
My head is still asleep. I think it's something I've missed a lot.
Are these days of immersion in research, because it was also examining spirits and magic itself that hit the backbone more than the development of magic props? That is certainly reminiscent of the past. I wake up feeling unwittingly nostalgic and try to stretch my back.
But when did you get back to bed yesterday? I have no memory at all......
”... mmm”
”... hmm?
Rise and roll futon. There was a swell of someone sleeping apart from me.
There was Yufi, who had her clothes open, resting quietly.
”... what?
No, wait. Wait, Anisphere Wynn Palettia. We should be cool here. Let's just calm down and take a deep breath.
Yes, it's premature to think something happened just because Uffi was asleep on the side. Look, you used to go to bed and stuff. Maybe that's what happened this time. He was sleeping with me just because I don't remember!
Check the situation. Next to me is Yufi, whose clothes have been slightly opened. He said he was more exposed than usual, or he took off his clothes as he was and went into bed with his skin on. If you look over to the room, there are scattered clothes of me and Uffi that have been stripped away.
From the interior of the room. This is Uffi's room. I'm just wearing my skin, too, and I'm not even wearing bedtime clothes. Cold sweat floats unexpectedly. Why can't I remember yesterday only at a time like this! My idiot!
”Yu, Yufi. Oh, it's morning...? Yufi?”
I accidentally rocked Yufi's shoulder. Maybe I was more upset than I thought. Shoulder shaken by me, Yufi slowly opens her eyes.
Keep your eyes closed and rubbed, put your hands on your mouth and then yawned. Yufi smiled as if she was relieved to see me in her sight, keep her eyes closed...
”To, don't sleep twice! Yufi, even in the morning!
”... Mmm... Dear Anis...”
Yufi opened her eyes slightly as she called my name with a slightly pointed voice.
Then I thought I had blinked a few times, and he looked up at me dissatisfied. Wow, bad eyesight...... this could be a little scary.
”Oh, good morning?
……
Pu, and he turned his back. Oh, why!? It's my fault I'm seeing a grumpy aura from my back for some reason!?
”Yu, Yufi......?
”I don't know.”
Why are you mad?!? Huh!? Yesterday, I did something!? Blood draws me away like I wore cold water. The clothes are scattered, they stay on each other's skin, they're in the futon together, and the grumpy Ufi, what, what did you do to me!?
Did you have a drink yesterday? No, that doesn't leave any feeling at all. I haven't had time for that lately in the first place. I've been focusing on looking into spiritual contracts, especially things that make me unconscious like my memory flies...
”... ah. I remember.”
Yes, yesterday. I often forget to sleep and eat once I'm immersed. Yesterday, Yuffi forced me to take him in when I was reading through the materials in an effort to proceed with the investigation.
Ilia has given up on this vice of mine, and she exercises her strength when she needs it. Raini wouldn't be that lame of a kid either. Then Yuffi said, yesterday she smiled and was hugged by Yuffi, thrown straight to bed, and taken off......
”Hoaaaah!?”
I remember! My face gets hot like it caught on fire when I remember. No, I sure didn't feel bad just being laid to sleep!? I didn't! They stripped me of my clothes, pushed me into a futon, and I just fell asleep......!
No, it's true, because Uffi is cunning. Because it's really cunning. Ku, damn, how could I be the only one to feel this embarrassed...! That's a compliment! You must have taken care of yourself because you can't see me when you're immersed!
”Yu, Mr. Yufi......?
”... I don't know anyone who triumphs.”
Shit, I'm so angry. I've never seen Uffi so grumpy.
I'm going to do this all by myself. I'm usually a good listener, but no, it's my fault! Duh, what do I do...
”Ufi, I'm sorry...”
”... are you reflecting?
He wakes up and stares at me as Uffi turns to me and blames me. The gaze pressure is strong...
”is reflecting...”
”... the next time I do it, I'll force you to sleep”
”Hino.”
Come on, I want you to stop forcing me......! At least I want it to be a way to prune my consciousness like Ilia......!
But gradually, I'm losing my mind to Uffi. I feel like I'm seeing a laughable future where I can't get my head up on Magenta parents and kids in line with my father. Father, let's have a drink together next time......
”Let Ilaria or Raini clean up your clothes.”
”Oh, yeah. I left it undressed...”
”Yep. So... I'm going to sleep until I get here.”
”... Huh?
Uffi catches me disappointed and pulls me into the futon. Uffi's exhalation is held tight enough to be felt beside him, and Uffi is trying to decide to sleep twice as it is.
I held my breath unintentionally and stopped moving, but all at once the heat in my face goes up. Even if I scratch the algae trying to get it out, Uffi's power is stronger than I thought and I'm not going to get away with it.
”No, no, wait, wait! Let's calm down, Uffi! Misunderstood! Because it will be misunderstood! Because sleeping in this outfit will be misunderstood! I'll wake up! Yufi, I'll wake up! Because I apologize properly!
”... I don't know”
I don't know!? No, the obstinate Uffi is cute, but Ilaria's gaze has been raw lately! Besides, I think you're laughing at me with your nose! Or laughed the other day! What kind of crap would they do if they saw this place...!
I tried to pull Uffi apart to get out, but he stroked me with his finger on my back. My body accidentally jumped back and my pitiful voice leaked.
”Hiya.”
”... let's go to sleep”
”Shh, spine, shh...! Wow, no more sides! Because I laugh! Torture! Because it's torture!
In the end, I gave up my impending destiny to accept that it was barren because Uffi was about to consume my strength.
Then came Ilia for a while. When he saw me, he laughed at me with his nose.
”That's a brilliant heckle.”
”That's what you say to the Lord!?”
It's a plush, scattered morning!... deserve it? Yes, yes, that's right! Hmm!
Days also lay considerably from Fenrill's raid. We have been investigating the Spirit Contract ever since. I left the decryption of history that I had deposited from the Ministry of Magic to Ufi, and I was looking through a research paper on magic that had been kept in the Ministry of Magic.
I borrowed a new one, wondering if there was any clue, but none of it was like approaching the magical backbone. They just talk about religious views to glorify magical miracles, and after all, it gives me zero breath of dismay that there doesn't seem to be much material to help me think. I come to the boulder.
”... Though I thought my thoughts were heretical”
If I don't have a clue so far, I come to my heart. Although the decoding of Yufi's history is progressing, I am not very responsive. When I got here, I even thought it was intentional not to have a statement about the spiritual covenant at all.
Spirit Contractor. It is he who covenanted with a collective so dense that he had himself among spirits such as the Great Spirit and God. There are terribly few records that we can see its existence in myths, legends, and myths, but it is real.
In the first place, spiritual contractors have unlimited records of real people, even if the name is the one that emerges in myths and miga stories. Although the Spirit Contractor is said to have tremendous power, I don't know exactly what that is.
