102. Ru. (2)

“…… The source of time?”

I couldn’t understand with just one word, so I asked again.

The source.

It was not an unfamiliar concept at all.

The truth that wizards light up and study.

…… Did you say that it is the principle that makes up the world?

Hearing her voice, Lu muttered in her haggard voice.

“This voice…… I go? …… Ah. Her head won’t roll. Breakdown…… I feel like I’ve done it.”

A voice that is slowly losing its vitality.

I saw Lou’s eyes getting cloudy, so I covered her mouth.

“…… Don’t talk, hold on a little longer. Roo.”

It seems to be virtually impossible to ask Lu about the ‘source’.

After making Lu’s mouth shut, I asked the approaching Lucia about her source with her eyes.

I didn’t know more than basic concepts.

If you only know the concept, I’m not a wizard.

All I know about magic…… Most of what I picked up from Lou in the previous episode.

“Yes. I’m not as familiar with the source as Lou, but I’m almost certain. ‘It’ is the source of time.”

As she said that, Lucia pointed at the power that rose above my right hand.

It felt a little strange.

It’s my strength, and as proof of that, the light that floated on my palm moved at will.

Because I couldn’t figure out the principle even though I could move freely.

Should I say that it’s my power and at the same time, it doesn’t seem like it’s the power that’s allowed to me?

I can’t express it in words.

Just…… The power itself was somehow familiar.

A power that seems to increase thinking and confuse the sense of time itself.

And. In the not-too-distant past, it seems like I experienced it once——

‘…… Hakmah?’

The god of wisdom who slept inside the crystal ball that was the winning prize of the Mutou Festival.

[I only have this much power left. The moment you need it most. This gift will bloom from you.]

‘No way… …. That nobleman?’

What he said before moving on to reality.

The car I had been thinking about for a while. Lucia walked with a limp and looked at the condition of Lou in my arms.

I can’t feel my heartbeat.

A body that is as cold as ice and is strangely light.

“First of all, speaking of Lou’s condition. Just looking at his physical condition, he’s at the level of a dead man.”

“…… What?”

“My heart stopped beating long ago, and it seems that my blood circulation and metabolism were activated with magic. It means that the body was dead from the beginning.”

He hesitated.

I hesitated for a moment when he said that Lu had been dead from the start.

Yes, it was strangely cold.

It was a bit strange to talk even though I couldn’t feel my heartbeat.

But that’s because it was an ‘already dead body’?

“…… Is that possible?”

No, how did Lucia return to the past in the first place?

I have heard many times that magic is not an omnipotent science.

But if it’s enough to transcend even death…… Isn’t that already an area close to omnipotence?

I questioned it, but Lucia couldn’t give me a clear answer.

“Don’t ask me. How the hell is that possible…… Do you want to ask me too?”

“Ah… ….”

The following article, ‘Lu’ is Lucia of the future.

Nine years after I died.

I don’t know when Lou returned. It is an obvious fact that the level of magic is higher than that of Lucia now.

It’s no wonder that Lucia doesn’t fully understand her magic.

“If you have any questions, ask yourself later.”

“…… Are you saying there is a way to save Lou?”

That’s what I asked.

Lucia looked at the mass of light she called ‘time’ floating above her right hand and was lost in her thoughts.

“Originally, there would have been no way, but if it could be done through that ‘time’… ….”

As if running a magic simulation over and over again in my head.

Lucia, who was frowning and repeating piggies, nodded as if her calculations were finished.

“At least Luga can put her death on hold.”

She can defer death right away.

I can’t say it’s hopeless, but it doesn’t sound positive either.

“She puts off her immediate death… ….”

“Right now, the most dangerous thing for Lu is ‘time’ rather than death. Death is also death…… It’s because the first source of time doesn’t acknowledge the existence of Lu who went against time.”

You said you went back in time?

I couldn’t understand all of Lucia’s words, but there were parts that sounded strange even to me who did understand at least part of them.

“…… If you go back in time, am I the same?”

If Lou has gone back in time, she is threatened by the source.

Shouldn’t I, a regressor of hers, be subjected to the same threat?

When I asked that, Lucia kept her mouth shut for a while as if she didn’t understand that far.

She leaned against me quietly and listened to her story.

“…… After I died in the future, I faked my death and moved on to the past. The case with you, Kayle, is different. Besides, I…… I came over with my body.”

“Death, what is that…….”

In Lou’s future, the word ‘died’ bothered me so much that I couldn’t get over it easily.

I couldn’t bear to finish her words and had no choice but to shut her mouth.

Now is not the time to ask such a question.

Lu said, taking a deep breath.

“Whoa. It’s time…… I can barely feel it. Are you thinking of sealing me?”

“Yes.”

At Lu’s words, Lucia simply nodded her head.

Is it because they are the same person even though they are in different bodies?

I put on a subtle expression when I saw Lu nodding her head as if she had gotten an estimate with just a glance or a few words.

“Sealed…… ?”

Even when she said it was delayed. Still, that doesn’t sound very good.

Lucia explained as if she understood me making that expression.

“Right now, there is no way to make Lou better. No matter what you do, if you leave it as it is, it will soon run out of magic and die. That’s why I’m going to seal it.”

“That… ….”

Simply put, it was a story about using magic similar to a kind of frozen man.

Since there is no way to heal Lou right now.

The story of her trying to find a way for her after keeping her sealed inside her.

“…… Is that for the best?”

“Yes. This level is fortunate enough. It is not easy to deceive the ‘source’. Even this is a magic that cannot be cast without the source in Kayle’s hand.”

I closed her mouth at those words and looked at the power that rose in her grasp.

A power that I don’t even know why it bloomed.

The source of time.

In the previous rounds, I had never used this kind of power. Never got it

I wondered why this kind of power came about.

“…… One thing is certain, if left alone, Lou will surely die. If you seal it, you mean that there is a chance that she will be saved, right?”

“I don’t know if it’s an abstract study, but there is even a clear sample, so there’s no way I can’t find a way to overcome the source or something?”

A confident voice.

In that case, there is no time for hesitation.

If there is a way to save Lou, what is it?

There was no reason not to adopt that method.

“Yes. Then, without delay, I will begin right away.”

At the same time as Lucia’s words, a magic circle was drawn in the air.

A very complex magic circle, even if I am new to magic, I can understand at least one fact that it is difficult.

However, the magic power flowing through the magic circle itself was very weak.

“Ah… ….”

Lucia let out a faint pain.

The reason was simple. Because she, too, was in a state where her magic power had been exhausted.

I felt like I lost my concentration for a moment. Her mana moved more precisely than before.

“The frame of the magic circle…… I’ll guide you. You care about mana output. Probably, to seal me, I’ll have to pour it until I’m really fainting.”

Because Lu was manipulating Lucia’s magical power instead.

Nod.

Lucia, who nodded her head within, cast her magic at the same time as Lou.

Actually, it was impossible for the two wizards to complete the magic on the spot.

I don’t know if it’s a magic circle created for joint magic from the beginning.

If two mages are to cast ordinary magic at the same time by dividing their roles, it would be fortunate if the spells overlap and the magic circle doesn’t run out of control.

However, Lucia and Lou were doing it.

It’s not just because they’re the same person.

A level of agility that allows you to stably create magic while controlling all the variables that appear moment by moment.

A genius at the top of a worldview that no one dares to compare with when it comes to handling ‘magic’.

That’s because the magician named ‘Lucia’ in front of me.

“Kale, the source of time is here.”

Lucia said that, and soon a magic circle spread out in front of her eyes.

I didn’t have the ability to interpret magic circles, though. It was obvious what I had to do.

Because the center of the magic circle was empty.

“…… Okay.”

I nodded and slowly pushed the source of time into its center.

It’s clicky──.

The source of time that falls precisely into the hole and falls out of your hand.

The magic circle started to activate, and soon a round pillar of light rose from the floor.

It’s not that wide.

It’s the size that only one person can fit in.

“…… Cale, can you help me wake up?”

Did you feel that the magic worked well even when you were blind?

At Lu’s request, I, who supported her, approached her pillar of light.

Wheein.

As Lou staggered into it, a translucent solid resembling glass divided the space.

I was a little worried even at that moment.

“After. Coming in here, I feel like I’m going to live a little. Eyesight…… I guess it will take a while to come back. Well, this has been a long time.”

Lu’s expression noticeably improved as she entered her pillar, so she let out her sigh of relief a little later.

The precarious figure disappears as if it will stop breathing at any moment.

He’s still panting, but compared to just before, he’s definitely improved.

Lucia, who approached me with a happy face, sighed and said.

“Keil, at least say hello. After the magic works properly, I will fall asleep soon. Lou, you seem to have a lot to say.”

“Yes. …… It was sealed.”

It’s not a life support system, it’s a seal.

The story that ‘Lu’, who entered the magic circle soon, fell asleep.

I kept my mouth shut and looked at Lou through the pillar.

Because she thought it was the last time, the words did not come out of her mouth.

From noble mtl dot com

Did I read that sign? Standing inside the magic circle, Lu burst into laughter.

“I can’t even see your face, but I think I know what you’re thinking. It’s not really the last, so don’t cry?”

“…… Didn’t you cry?”

How could he be so calm before being sealed?

…… No, it wouldn’t be real nonchalant.

Perhaps you’re pretending to be calm so I don’t worry.

“I think it’s just a long sigh. Instead, should the prince wake you up before it’s too late? Of course, I’m confident that I’ll like Cale even after he turns into a gray-haired old man…….”

“Before that, I’ll wake you up anyway, so don’t worry. Roo.”

Fishik.

She seemed relieved by those words. Lou raised the corner of her mouth and spoke in a languid voice.

“…… I’m slowly getting sleepy. Finally, just a few more words and I’m going to bed. Are you listening?”

“Yes, I am listening.”

She nods her head as if she’s listening and says so.

Lu said in a voice that was gradually sinking into confusion.

“Don’t go anywhere and get hurt. If you still have to fight, you must win.”

“…… Am i a kid I’ll leave it alone for now, but if you wake up later, you’ll be scolded for fighting the disaster alone, so be prepared.”

“Cale’s punishment…… What to expect.”

“… ….”

No, he’s a little strange.

Are you spitting out any words at the rushing tide?

Or is it true intention without pretense?

…… Later, after Lou wakes up, I guess I’ll have to ask what happened after I died.

“Well, it’s only half a joke. It’s natural for you to differentiate between ‘me’ and ‘Lucia’, but don’t think of them as being too separate.”

It’s scary because half of it seems like it’s not a joke.

Lucia, who called my name, glanced at Lou.

Lou said with a smile as if he felt that gaze.

“That fool likes you a lot, although not as much as I do.”

“Mu, mu, what——!”

“Look. Are you reacting like an idiot?”

Lucia, who was listening to her story, was shocked, but

Lou said in a voice that grew more and more slow, as her drowsiness set in.

“And kale. It’s cowardly, but I’ve already hit the ball, so I’m just talking about it now. That stupid Elemental Sage…… Don’t hate me too much.”

“…… Are you talking about Elena?”

At those words, I couldn’t help but harden my expression for a moment.

Elena…….

The reason Luga brought up her story about Elena. She couldn’t understand why she told her not to hate Elena.

Lou closed her eyes and spoke in a low voice.

“For the very last time. As I said before.”

Her voice pierced my ears as if taking me out of my hesitation at the story about Elena.

“Even if you lose any power, even if you make hundreds of girlfriends, even if you become an old grandfather. I’ll whisper in your ear again whenever you want.”

Maybe this is magic.

With just a few words, emotions were stirred.

With just one word, there was even an illusion that the empty heart could be warmly filled.

“…… I love you, my kale.”

If that one word is magic.

It’s probably the best magic in the world.
