The great mage who transcends by regression Episode 22
Eileen died today.
no maybe yesterday
I looked at Eileen quietly, thinking of a sentence that could have come out of a classic masterpiece somewhere.
“Huh ha…haha….”
“….”
No, he’s actually dead.
Even if the body is alive, at this point the mind is simply dead.
Seeing Eileen who was literally stunned, I decided to give her warm words of encouragement.
“Hey are you crying?”
“….”
“Hey Lian! He’s lucky! Cry!”
He tapped Eileen on the shoulder and congratulated the reunion after a long time.
It’s not bad to have a reunion like this.
Aileen’s shoulders trembled pitifully, but it didn’t matter. If you don’t tease at times like this, when the hell are you supposed to tease?
This is no different from a heaven-sent opportunity to make fun of Eileen.
“….”
Lian quietly looked at Eileen and me with a complicated expression, then slowly moved away from me. And at some point, Aileen’s shoulders, which had been trembling for a while, stopped.
“main….”
“main?”
“Killing ahh…!”
Eileen staggered to her feet and drew her sword while screaming madly.
Just looking at it, it’s not normal.
The fact that she showed her own ugliness was not enough to keep the current Eileen sane.
No matter what country it is.
“Witness kills!”
Eileen shouted as she raised her sword high into the air with mad eyes.
It does not appear to be of the opposite sex.
yes i guess
“I can’t help it.”
If so, shouldn’t I, as a colleague, cool Aileen’s head?
I said looking at Eileen.
“Cool your head above the sky and come. Let’s talk after that.”
“…what?”
I quietly snapped my fingers while watching Eileen staring at me with an expression asking what she was talking about.
“< Spatial Transition >.”
“…?!”
A 10th circle grand mage doesn’t have to cast cumbersome spells no matter how many circles.
One word and it’s over.
“Hey dog…!”
Shook!
Anyway, Eileen disappeared from our presence with her eyes wide open.
Lian, who had been watching the scene away from me, asked cautiously.
“…Where did you send them?”
“As I said, I sent it across the sky. It will probably take some time to fall. Enough to sum up the problem in moderation?”
“….”
At my words, Wise and Set, as well as Lian, looked at me with an expression of absurdity.
[In other words, according to what you are saying, doesn’t it mean that Eileen is falling from the sky in real time?]
“No, it’s not just falling.
[…] ….]
“It falls endlessly. If you fall for a while, your head will cool down a bit, won’t it?”
If you repeat it, you might feel like riding a ride.
If it’s Eileen with the Grand Master in front of her, there won’t be any problems even if she falls down a bit.
“Anyway, I figured out the situation. That guy is a mutant from Eileen and cloned the 7-year-old Eileen. Unfortunately, it seems that there was a problem in the process of cloning the body.”
“hmm.”
First of all, let’s take advantage of Eileen’s hard fall and adjust Riuel’s appearance.
I guess I’ll have to roughly adjust my outfit and appearance to fit my 7-year-old memory.
…Then it will be better than now.
“Leuel Lindell.”
“huh.”
I went up to the guy who was staring blankly into the air and immediately put my hand on top of his head.
“From now on, I plan to adjust your body to fit your memory. If you don’t like it, tell me… ….”
“are you okay.”
Riuel looked at me with the same eyes as Eileen and said.
“Because my sister is in trouble.”
“…okay.”
It is a state of self-confidence to some extent.
As such, it is still a situation in which the world is not fully understood as a ‘mutant’, but that is only a matter of time.
Once you’ve adjusted, you’ll spend your time like a normal person, grow up, and blend in with the human race.
There is no problem up to that point.
Just wondering… …Why did Aileen give this guy the name ‘Riuel’ and allow him to replicate my memories?
Whoa!
With that thought in mind, Riuel’s body was adjusted.
Surrounded by bright light, Riuel’s body slowly began to shrink and was soon made into a ‘shape’ suitable for a 7-year-old.
Seven-year-old Eileen Lindell.
In a way that matches that ‘memory’.
Clothing and appearance befitting a 7-year-old. Riuel’s appearance changed just as I thought.
just what to say
“…Hmm.”
A very faint sense of discomfort.
Riuel, adjusted in this way, definitely looks like 7-year-old Eileen.
But for some reason, something keeps getting stuck.
“Why suddenly? As you said, the adjustment seems to have gone well.”
“Yeah, it went well.”
It’s clear that this worked out well.
7-year-old Eileen… ….
Of course, I don’t know what Eileen looked like when she was 7 years old. The first time I saw Eileen was after a long time.
Of course, from the outside, it wouldn’t be strange to think of ‘Eileen’ as a child.
“Ryan, have you ever heard of the name ‘Riuel’?”
“Well, no. Didn’t Eileen just build it on the spot?”
“It could be, though.”
Still, in my experience, I’ve never heard this ‘dissonance’ without any reason.
The moment I thought about it.
“I don’t know. It is best to hear these things for yourself.”
Right.
I lightly snapped my fingers.
then that moment.
Shuuk!
Eileen, who must have cooled her head by now, came back as it was.
“Ugh….”
Aileen lying on the floor, half limp, as if my treatment just now had been effective.
The madness just before is long gone.
“How are you sure about the effect?”
“uh…Yes, that’s for sure.”
When I asked that question while looking at Lian, the guy nodded with a strange expression.
Anyway, I waited until Eileen came to her senses.
“Ugh….”
After a while, Eileen stood up clutching her head as if she had come to her senses.
“eww….”
He looks at me and turns his gaze away.
Well, I must be ashamed of myself for making such a fuss.
“Okay, are you feeling better now?”
“…Even if I wanted to get out of my mind, I heard it.”
I guess so.
Because that’s what I sent it up to the sky like that in the first place.
“so.”
Let’s get right to the point.
“What exactly happened to that child ‘Riuel’?”
“that….”
Eileen hesitated for a moment to answer my question.
It’s a nuance that I don’t want to answer that much, but I’m the kind of person who waits patiently for something like that.
I had to check this myself.
“Shall I speak?”
“…yes?”
I looked straight at Eileen and told her.
“That ‘Riuel’ must be a mutant that came into existence by duplicating your ‘memories’. But something different… ….”
Yes, a strange sense of incongruity.
Based on that ‘sense of incongruity’, I put in my mouth what I guessed.
“You are not the ‘subject’ that Riuel cloned?”
“…!”
Eileen’s eyes trembled.
‘also.’
It seems to be the correct answer.
* * *
It would be correct that the mutant named Riuel Lindel here is the result of duplicating Eileen’s ‘memories’.
just in case there is something else.
“Has something else intervened?”
“….”
“It’s your memory, but…it would have been distorted It wasn’t even a situation where the body and memory were properly balanced right away.”
yeah it’s weird from there
Not being balanced in the first place means that the cloning process itself didn’t work properly.
for example….
“The subject of the duplicated memory was not you, but ‘someone else’ in the memory.”
“….”
Eileen did not respond to my words for a moment. All the great threats to humanity have passed anyway.
Besides, I’m not the kind of guy who would embrace Eileen’s really dangerous things without consulting his friends.
So, this must be a purely personal matter for Eileen.
“Honestly, I don’t know the details of the Lindell family. After all, I am just an outsider.”
“….”
To put it bluntly, before the return, the Lindel family had gone bankrupt before collecting information, so there was no way to know.
However, there are some ways to see it. And it is possible to guess through it.
“I have no intention of digging further if you do not intend to speak.”
“…Yes, I guess.”
Eileen sighed and looked at me.
“If it were you, you’d say you didn’t like it, but you wouldn’t forcefully reveal it, and I think you’d just pass by without knowing it.”
“….”
“It is, but.”
Aileen’s gaze turned to Riuel. For a moment, complex emotions passed from the guy’s eyes.
“…I don’t like how it’s hidden. In the first place, it seems that neither you nor Rian are hiding something like that.”
Eileen slowly spoke about Riuel.
“It’s true that ‘Riuel’ replicated my memories from when I was 7 years old. Actually, at that time, I was a bit… …I wore a lot of clothes like that.”
“however?”
“little…Different memories mixed. Because of that, I was worried about how to accept that child.”
“for a moment.”
At that time, Lian, who had been quietly listening to the conversation, stepped forward and asked.
“Does the fact that other memories are mixed mean that Riuel isn’t exactly who you were when you were 7 years old?”
“therefore….”
“You mean you’ve never been so rude at your age? Could it be that Eileen of the world has pigtails on her magic wand… ….”
“shut up.”
Eileen glared at Lian.
If it was possible to kill a person with just a glance, Eileen would have already cut Lian into 18 equal pieces and killed him.
“Kuhmm that…If not, you can just say no. Why are you staring at me?”
Lian, who didn’t want to be in 18th place, sneaked back again.
Eileen calmed her eyes and continued her explanation.
“Anyway, yes. that…Mixed memories are a bit important to me, so I told my father and gave him the surname ‘Lindel’.”
“If you are an important person….”
“….”
Eileen said she would not hide it, but as expected, she was silent for a moment as if her mind was complicated.
And the boy opened his mouth heavily.
“My brother.”
“….”
“just…There is such a thing. If you die of an incurable disease before you even debut in the social world.”
Eileen stared into space.
“If the flower loses before it blooms properly, there is nothing I can do.”
“I see.”
“Just what…The reason I learned swordsmanship was at least partly because of that child… ….”
Judging from what she said, it seems that Eileen’s younger sister died an unfortunate death when she was really young.
No matter how duke’s family, there is nothing they can do about an incurable disease.
“The sister’s name is…Was it Riuel?”
“….”
Eileen didn’t answer.
But that was no different from the answer. It’s not like Riuel’s soul dwells or something like that… ….
“Is it because the memory of the ‘younger sister’ cleverly intervened at the time you thought about it?”
“…Yes, he is not himself, but he can be called Riuel as I thought.”
“hmm.”
It feels like things are a bit more complicated than I thought… ….
“So what is your concern?”
Just looking at it, it’s an expression that is worried about something complicated. Still, as a warrior and colleague, I can listen to such concerns.
Eileen opened her mouth.
“Is it true that I see my brother in that child?”
“….”
In a way, we can see that our story has come to an end once.
However, life does not end when one important event is over. Other unexpected worries may arise for someone.
Just like Eileen right now.
Then, how would you respond to such a colleague’s concerns?
“Eileen.”
“yes.”
At my words, Eileen nodded with a slightly nervous look.
An expression that wants me to give a clear answer.
If so, you should live up to those expectations.
“I hate to say this, but there is a concept in the world called proportion.”
“Why is that?”
“If I had to put it that way, that ‘Riuel’ is 90% Eileen and 10% your younger sister.”
“…So?”
Eileen tilted her head as if she couldn’t understand that statement any further.
A face that doesn’t know.
Ah, in the end, do I have to tell you this far?
“At that point, wouldn’t that kid be just Eileen, a psychopath who believes herself to be ‘Riuel’?”
To be honest, even that 10% doesn’t contain real souls or anything like that.
If you put it that way, you might be able to see it as 99.9% Eileen and 0.01% Reuel.
“….”
Eileen silently stared at me with dead eyes at my clear answer.
what why
That’s right.
