Vol 1 Chapter 2 (1/2)

Chapter 2 – The Collapsing World and Ghost Trailer

Part 1

The gate to the entrance was not locked

Takeshi+ felt dejected that his mother was home

His brother would be at cra

The house had been built around 10 years ago, his father worked a lot to buy the place and hardly ever came home

It hat a person would consider my home

However, Takeshi+ couldn’t say it was comfortable in there

Although Takeshi+ would be instantly be denied if he brought back any other girl besides Kurumi inside his house

Takeshi+ thought it would be better if he didn’t have anyone, but recently his thoughts have changed

Perhaps if had brought her, his parent’s thoughts ed and they would have been able to talk

Takeshi+ thought that he ht have wanted to see that a little

He ran away froot to the entrance of his house he motioned to the person behind to come inside

Mui looked nervous, it was like she had gone to the house of some unrelated influential person

Just as Mui was about to go up the stairs, the living room door down the hall opened up

“Ah, he, hello,” Mui greeted in a loud voice behind Takeshi+

However, his e

“U on you”

Mui bohile his mother who entered the hall murmured “By all means”

His mother walked by where Takeshi+ and Mui stood, put on her shoes, grabbed the parasol that was hung next to the sobx, and quickly left the house

She was going out to shop in the neighborhood because she had an Eco-bag [1] hung over her shoulder

Takeshi+ hid his dejected expression from Mui, went up the stairs to the hallway and took off his shoes

“Don’t let it bother you That person, she’s always been like that”

“Eh? Really?”

Mui had been watching his mother leave, when she heard Takeshi+ say that, she looked over her shoulder at him

“Is she your mother?”

“Yeah That’s my mom”[2]

Takeshi+ answered curtly to prevent any further inquiries, Mui slowly closed the door behind her

“You can go to my roo to get us some drinks”

“……Okay”

Takeshi+ left Mui at the door in the entrance and entered the kitchen

―It probably appeared to his mother that her son had coirl……

Takeshi+ took a deep sight with Haa sound

Takeshi+ was used to his ood for the people she had never met

Takeshi+ shook his head several tierator door

Part 2

Mui went upstairs as told and entered Takeshi+’s room

His room had an orderly atmosphere and he did not have a lot of possessions

His bed was by the wall and his desk was by theHe had a single sle poster or decoration

Mui had entered his room but just stood there as she did not knohere she could sit

There was only the chair for the desk and she would feel shy if she sat on his bed

Mui recalled her earlierwith Takeshi+’s mother at the entrance

She had facial features similar to Takeshi+ and perhaps she had felt that cold atmosphere from her because she wasn’t a very sociable person

―That person, it feels like she had seen her somewhere before……

Mui went across the room to the onlyand shut the curtains because it was less likely that they would be discovered by their pursuers

Almost unconsciously, she sat down on the bed which was carefully arranged

Then, once again she recalled the face of Takeshi+’s mother and became puzzled

―Was she a celebrity?

―She understood that she was a ician the moment she saw her

Mui’s shoulders sagged Her beautiful black hair that was similar to enamel like her brother’s, fell down in front and concealed her face

“Mou, I really am completely useless,” she said, her voice unintentionally loud

Just what could she do, she kne serious the current situation was

For example, the fact that she will receive punishe

She had to soht, there was no use crying, it

“Sorry to keep you waiting All we had was tea and cola in the fridge”

Unaware of Mui’s distress, Takeshi+ came into the room with a cup on a tray

“Ah, er Please don’t trouble yourself with me”

Looking at the tray that was placed in front of her, Mui looked up at Takeshi+ and laughed with fufu sound

“What?”

”Because, you brought both tea and cola”

Three cups had been placed on the tray

There was cola in two of them and tea in one

There were two people, so there was one too many

“My bad I didn’t knohich one would be good,” said Takeshi+ with a sullen expression

Taking the chair from the desk, Takeshi+ sat down in front of Mui as on the bed

“Thank you Then, I’ll take the tea”

Takeshi+ watched Mui take the cup and put it to her mouth He then said:

“That uniform……”

“Eh?”

“Nah, it’s just that, I don’t think I have ever seen that uniform before”

“…………”

Mui looked down at her uniform

It was a navy blue short sleeved blouse with three lines on the sleeve and a green plaid ribbon on the chest Her legs extended fronated

“I don’t think I am familiar……which school is that from?”

Mui shi+fted her gaze away [3] and Takeshi+ shook his head

“No, it’s fine”

Mui felt that Takeshi+ wanted an explanation but he wouldn’t pursue it any further

She felt sorry, but she had considered the fact that she didn’t want to get him involved any further

Mui wanted to leave things as they were, part from Takeshi+ here and return to her oorld

But, even if she wanted to, that was no longer possible

Mui quietly returned the cup with its contents half drank to the tray

“Have you seen it yet?” she asked

“What?” Takeshi+ asked back

“Have you seen…………like this?”

Mui stood up and pulled out her gun, and immediately shot it

“Knock it off!”

Takeshi+ fell backwards out of the chair he was sitting in

One centimeter away a wind traveled by his ear which made his body shudder

Light vigorously hit the wall, and with a bachibachi sound it scattered

But when Takeshi+ looked back at the wall, there was not a single scratch on it

No bullet had entered

The bright yellow flash that had been fired instead, seeed with electricity

When it scattered in all four directions, the s branched and then disappeared

“As I thought, you can see it”

Mui’s voice clearly sounded disappointed

“I saw it It had an aura siht”

“It’s a special type of particle”

Mui tucked the gun in her skirt, and sat down again

Takeshi+ who sat opposite of her diverted his look

“I guess I should give you an explanation”

Takeshi+ was annoyed that she abruptly discharged her gun, but aside fro, when she suddenly looked at hiht in the eyes for the first time, Takeshi+ started to feel uneasy

He didn’t want to hear anything

Not about their pursuers, not about her uniforun, and not about all the supernatural pheno after another

But, that did not stop Mui fro

“It’s a particle that can only be seen by a ician”

“That’s what you say!” Takeshi+ stood up from his chair and yelled out in order to reject her words

Still, she never once turned her gaze away and stared straight at Takeshi+

“Even I found it unreasonable to give you an explanation But, it’s impossible otherwise”

Takeshi+ folded his arms and looked away from her

“I aician”

Mui said thatsiirl”

“The guys ere chasing icians”

Takeshi+ did not feel like listening

Just now she acted foolishly, if that was the case then maybe he should consider that she wanted to return somewhere

“You know, I really did not want to hear anything at all, you were being chased and I thought you just wanted to bring so with you, it’s okay, however, you just wanted to return hoht tone

“Did I not just say that a little while ago? Weren’t you listening?”

“…………”

“I told you that the aura or sicians can see In other words, you also bear the burden of being a ician”

Before, Takeshi+ would have been able to reject everything including her words

“My bad, I really am troubled by this I want to be able to stay home”

“Then listen properly!”

“I, aious so therefore I don’t knohat kind of solicitation to give”

“I’ious?”

“For generations my family has been Buddhists Well, they are only Buddhist when it comes to funerals Besides, no matter how you look at it, there doesn’t seem like there is any money here Well, the house is two stories, but we’re just barely getting by”

Takeshi+ started unilaterally speaking about unrelated things, Mui standing up, forcefully grabbed Takeshi+’s shoulder and tried turn him around to face her

“Listen toto ic!”

Takeshi+ looked over his shoulder which was forcefully grabbed closer

“…………Is so the matter?”

“When you threw that sword towards theat school the color of your pupil became purple”

Mui’s face was earnestly co closer

“Ba……bakabakashi+ If you are seriously saying that, then you are quite messed up in the head”

In an attempt to escape from Mui, Takeshi+ shook off her hand and separated from her like there was a disease

Mui bit her lips tightly and glared at Takeshi+

“Wh, what?”

Takeshi+ tried not to be overpowered by her gaze and glared back at her, once again she approached him with her hand on her chest

“If I do this, then whether or not you like it, you ht start to understand what you can do”

In that ently lifted off the floor a few centimeters

“Uwa!!”

A few seconds later his feet which had been separated from the floor were returned

“No…… No……No way…………!”

“You can also do this”

Mui let go of him, there was not a hint of an expression that said she was lying

Instead, she aardly hung her head in shame and then suddenly kneeled down in front of Takeshi+

“I’m sorry”

Her head had touched the floor

Surprised by her sudden action, all Takeshi+ could do was look down

Once again, Mui bowed down into a position like a cat

“I really am sorry!”

After Mui said that, she slowly looked up and saw that Takeshi+ was bewildered

With tears in her eyes, she said, “I changed you into a ician”

There was too

Mui’s voice and facial expression, along with the fact that both her fists were tre

So hiinal intention was shaken by her earnestness

“I didn’t think so like this would happen Truly It was not my intention to cause trouble for everyone But……I just wanted to bring back Nii-san”

Tears had accuan to fall onto the carpet

It becah, he sat down in front of her

There wasn’t a single guy who could throw her out after listening to her, watching her bow her head in apology, and then crying

With a reluctant tone Takeshi+ said, “Maa, I don’t quite understand what’s going on, yet I will still listen to you”

From Mui’s eyes tear drops continued to fall

She squeezed her eyes shut with all her strength in order to resist crying aloud It was so pitiable that Takeshi+ faced away and said, “If you are crying when you ask I can’t hear you properly”

“I’m not”

There was a reply, but it had become nasally

No, she was still crying

Her retort was as expected and Takeshi+ could only nod his head

Part 3

“Magicians aren’t born naturally”

When she had finally settled down, she sat on the bed and said that

“Froic power But as they grow into adults it becoe of 25 when the pores which release ician When a child coic power, the cells are stimulated and the pores open up in the body and they can create ician”

“You don’t possibly mean…………”

Takeshi+ suddenly understood so that had occurred to him

It was at the school infirun

“Right When I shot at you with un your body was stiician at that time”

Astonished, Takeshi+ just stared at her

“As you saw shortly afterwards, a the people who had come was my brother”

“That person was Tsuganashi+?”

The tall, scary

“Un That was my nii-san But, he’s different now”

Mui said in a sorrowful tone

“His host trailer=””>”

“Ghost……?”

“<ghost trailer=””> ‘They are a spirit vanguard’[4] and are referred to as a community”

When Takeshi+ heard Mui’s quiet voice, feelings of curiosity helped him calm down

Sitting in front her shoulders were s down, Takeshi+ outstretched one hand a little bit

Takeshi+ was still hesitant to believe Mui

It didn’tthis far, he had to listen to the end, that ed

“They are trying to underician”

Mui had regained her composure

That did not uilt towards Takeshi+ had vanished, after this Mui would have to face the reality of this issue

“When you first saw ic, were you afraid? Or were you not afraid?”

Mui asked, Takeshi+ did not interrupt

Then, Mui gave a small nod, as if it was natural

“It’s generally the saic Scared, startled, because they don’t understand it, they reject it Then, it would ier and disdain Since ancient tiicians, so it was decided that ould hide our presence However, there are people who do not think this way They are in <ghost trailer=””>”

If one were to speak of the existence of Magicians, then Takeshi+ would not have believed it

However, he had decided to not interrupt her story anymore

For now, he would let Mui tell hi and afterwards he would think about it

“The Magicians desire a peaceful coexistence with humans I am the same In order to facilitate this kind of relationshi+p, Subaru Magic Acadeic in front of the human public

“……Magic, Academy?”

“Yeah It’s a school for Magicians This is their school uniform”

Takeshi+ reic school in a certain fantasy movie he had seen[5]

No matter what, it was impossible for him to just accept it as reality

“The acadeanization called <wizard breath=””> the largest coician can select one of the them <wizard breath=””> is a prime example of those who express peaceful coexistence with huovernment over in this world and were allowed to set up a school”

“This world?”

“Right This world Subaru Magic Acade World where there is another Tokyo”

“…………”

Honestly, there was a limit

Several tiic Acade with a child

“Somehow……your story is beyond absurd……”

Noticing that Takeshi+ was dumbfounded, Mui had a wry smile

“Yeah It’s probably difficult to suddenly accept everything at once But, I wanted to share it with you because you are a Magician I couldn’t just go and leave you behind without saying anything”

“Youto do with this”

“That was before But it’s different for you now”

Mui stood up slowly

“<ghost trailer=””> ca backyou”

“What do you mean?”

“They should have realized that you becaician as well”

Takeshi+ looked up at Mui as standing in front of him, the two of them stared at each other

Takeshi+ saw himself reflected in Mui’s pupil, he couldn’t say that his face didn’t look exhausted

With a sh Mui said,

“When <ghost trailer=””> captures a Magician they alter their memory to make them their comrade Nii-san was probably the saree with their ideology”

“Wa, wait a uys chase me?”

Mui stopped Takeshi+ and continued her story

She told him about the present situation between her and her brother

He couldn’t believe what she said

She couldn’t understand what their reasons were, or why they would aim for her……

Nevertheless, Mui readily bowed her head

“Yeah Once you are caught they erase key memories and then replace them with others”

It’s like gasping for breath after an impact

Why did she grab his shoulder and cry, Takeshi+ wanted to give Mui a final warning, but he couldn’t do it

”No matter how unpleasant it is for you, I want you to come with me I have no choice but to protect you”

“Protect me huh [6]

“When you get captured by <trailer> you lose yourself I want you to follow ician, I do too That’s why, I beg of you, please coether with me”

With a deep bow Mui pleaded

“…………Please”[7]

Mui reet out

Why had it become like this?

While he still didn’t believe everything Mui said, it was true that she was currently being chased by those guys

Auys were also chasing him, because of his encounter with them earlier, he could safely say that this was a realistic fact

With a look of half resignation on his face, a sigh was led within his words

“So based on what you have said, what is my best course of action?”

With a look of triumph on her face, Mui slowly surveyed the room

“Do you have a large th mirror”

“Mirror? There’s a big one in the bathroom”

Takeshi+ had a puzzled look on his face, he wondered why Mui would ask such a thing

“Before that, you had better change your clothes, your appearance looks conspicuous”

Takeshi+ still wore his Kendo Gi

Takeshi+ wanted to say he knew that without her suggestion but for now he changed his clothes

During the tied, Mui waited outside in the hallway

Takeshi+ changed his clothes to a T-shi+rt and a pair of cotton pants and walked out of his room to where Mui was

“Well, let’s go To the place where only Magicians can go”
