75 After Days: Hands dont have to fit. (2/2)
”It would be now. But now you think so. Still, I can't change the past. My fundamental, this idea is unwavering, too. … I still have no doubt about magic”
”... yeah”
”But to speak of that question… I, too, am still poorly understood. In that sense, we thank you for establishing the Ministry of the Spirit.”
”... I can't believe Lang thanked me. I couldn't think about it.”
”That's not why I accepted all the ideas of magic”
Lang looks at me, but I can't feel the enemies I had before in those eyes.
I just don't know how to deal with it, like I'm lost. I feel such a quiet rejection.
”Don't accept it, I think it's good”
……
”I also have that idea. Yes, I hope you admit it. That's all I need. Neither do I see magic as absolute. Because people are wrong creatures.”
”Wrong, is it...”
”Yeah. No matter how hard you try, think, and desperately give an answer, you might go in the wrong direction. The world may not accept it. I really don't think that's possible.”
I keep giving Lang one hand to ask him to shake his hand.
Lang opens his eyes to gnaw and stares alternately at my hand and face.
”At that time, I wish someone would stop me, forgive me for my mistakes, and correct me. That's why I want everyone to smile. People can share. I want it to be happier than unhappiness. To Lang, of course.”
People may be able to live alone. But it will be richer for both of us to live alone than to live alone.
Even if we can't understand each other, we can live in the same world. Even if we just don't get involved with each other, I want the world to look happy in each one of us.
Even if that's an unfulfilled picture. I don't want to think it was a mistake until I had that wish.
”... that was an interesting story. Now, if you'll excuse me for this. Her Highness Sister Wang.”
Lang looked at my hand jiggly but turned his back without taking my hand.
I knew it was rejected. Distance opens with him completely turned his back. As it shows that this is the distance between him and me right now.
I was dropping off Lang's back leaving like that. Until I can't see that back, just all the time.
”You're round, too, Lang”
”... Miguel? Peeping is a bad hobby.”
It was Miguel who showed himself beside Lang at a distance out of Anisphere's sight. I have a smile that I don't know what I'm thinking the same way.
To Miguel's appearance like that, Lang puts his shoulders up and down in a daze and exhales and shows them. Miguel asks to slap him lightly, grinning deeper at how Lang looks like that.
”How'd it go? Why don't you talk to your current Royal Highness King Anisphere?
”Hi, nothing.... a difficult person to empathize with and understand. Line up your valves like a wise man as you speak your dreams like a child. … so much so that I think I'm poisoned that I'm finding profit there.”
”It's poisoned, hey. Isn't that the proof you walked away from?
”... now”
”I don't know if there's anything better now. If you want to start over.”
”It's easy for me to say...”
”It's another HR!
Lang waves so depressingly that he can pay off Miguel. Miguel avoids it by taking a distance.
Chip, and Lang's tongue hits zero. I snort all the same about saying I'm an abominable man.
”I'm sorry.... but I mean it? You're still young. You're not the same parent who's gonna make a big deal out of it with no more, are you?
”... it's none of your business”
”Not directly. Just because I'm Her Majesty's loyal servant? Thought I'd behave like a loyalist?
”... Still don't like magic. I just think that dulls my faith in the Spirit. If you say, for example, that even if the Spirit has no will, it reflects his own heart. Can't say that no one thinks it's better to just use it by spreading magic?
”If magic becomes just technology, nobility's absoluteness will be lost, eh?
”... yes”
”Right. If magic, which can also be used by the civilian population, would be inevitable. A man with“ good thoughts of men ”like His Royal Highness the King of Anisphere would be good. But His Royal Highness the King of Anisphere is not eternal.”
Anisphere has also defended its dangers because it has shown the most convenience in magic. And you look like Miguel, even as you're afraid.
That is why drama drugs and anispheres are recognised by everyone. That's all there is to it. Even Uphilia, who is so close to Anisphere, has a verse that is cautious when it comes to its dangers.
That's why now Anisphere is also a step from magic, a distance away. Rapid developments create distortions. Now is the time to incorporate the revolutionary ideas generated by Anisphere.
For those who are inclined to the magic of the Anisphere, and for those who should be alarmed.
”... History tells, or”
”Right. Manage past tragedies and mistakes not to be repeated in the future. That's one of your jobs, isn't it? Lang.”
”... Hmm. I always thought I didn't like it.”
I don't even want to be liked.
Lang only tongues Miguel laughing at Kerakera again and goes down the road to the Spirit Ministry.
Miguel loosens his mouth as he drops off his back.
”I wonder what will happen to this country from now on. We do not entrust it to the king alone, we do not merely attach it to faith. Thoughts, worries, each one chooses. Is that the beginning of innovation or just the opening of the chaos lid?”
No one knows that yet. It will be the work of future generations to speak of the merits of those who live today.
I just hope it's fun. And it would be nice if it was easier to work. Miguel thought so, moving in a different direction from Lang.
