The great mage who transcends by regression Episode 23
[Imitate Mikhail.]
Set said.
[Sympathy.]
“Sympathy.”
After I repeated my words, Seth nodded with a satisfied expression, and then spoke again.
[A person’s heart.]
“A person’s…no wait.”
I’m following this, but something is strange. Why am I being treated like a supernatural agent?
“Isn’t that too much? As a colleague, I gave advice that would become flesh and blood.”
[Advice that becomes flesh and blood….]
Set glanced the other way.
There, Eileen was struggling with her eyes half turned inside out.
“Oh let go! let go! Whether I am or not, I will kill him today!”
“Pay the car! It’s not like he’s been through a day or two of being that kind of guy!”
Lian desperately stops Eileen.
It is truly a scene of deep friendship.
“I’m going to burn this body for the peace of mankind, but why are you stopping me! Why are you stopping me!”
“Aagh!”
Lian manages to catch Eileen who is rampaging. And Wise, scratching his head, staring at the damn thing.
There.
“I miss you.”
I, Mikhail Walpurgis, feel a strange nostalgia for that sight.
How beautiful is this.
[I will miss you very much….]
After saying that, Set shook his head. Of course, I am also a person who does learning.
At some point, the sound of the set came to a point where it sounded like background music… ….
Riuel stared at the gag in silence.
As if this situation has nothing to do with you.
Eileen shouted.
“No, how can a child…!”
“On the contrary, can’t you be more cruel?”
“…yes?”
Eileen stiffened at my words. The look on his face was that he didn’t expect such words to come from me.
“Anyway, this ‘Riuel’ got his self through you. It is already a life.”
It is also a life with the possibility of endless growth.
As long as the ‘ego’ exists, this girl has the right to respect that ego.
but.
“You are projecting your dead sister from this child and trying to make it that way.”
“….”
“I don’t know exactly what the problem was because you never told us the details. But looking at you now… ….”
He paused for a moment, then continued.
“It just seems like you want to see this child as your little sister, ‘Riuel’. It can’t be helped that it has already been named, but did you have to name it after your sister?”
“….”
Of course, I also know that what I am saying now is buried.
But what can I do?
what to say what to do
For some reason, it felt like I had to make this clear about this matter and move on.
Of course, it doesn’t matter if Aileen thinks of ‘Riuel’ as her sister.
If it’s him, he’ll figure it out on his own, and after that… …it will work out well
It’s not like there’s something morally wrong with Eileen thinking of her sister right now.
but.
‘It’s also true that nothing good can come from procrastinating.’
Isn’t it best to just solve the problem before it happens.
Aileen is a precious colleague.
He’s the guy who followed me even in life-and-death situations, so it’s better to provoke him with dog-like words like this.
That ‘Liuelle’ could never be Eileen’s deceased sister, and that shouldn’t be the case.
“Of course, it can’t be helped that it has already been named. That kid became ‘Liuelle Lindel’ anyway.”
“…hmm.”
“But how you treat that child will change that child’s future.”
mutant species.
After the disappearance of the gods, many things have changed in the world. Humanity had to accept a new existence called ‘mutant species’.
In the process, there are inevitably many noises, and this incident can be regarded as one of those ‘noise’.
“You know. That child is not your sister. It’s not that I inherited that memory, it was at best an imitation of ‘Riuel’ in your memory.”
“….”
“In other words, if you are going to treat that child as your sister to the end, that child will have no choice but to be trapped in the memories you imitate forever.”
isn’t that a bit cruel
Both Eileen and that child.
“I am….”
“You have already gone through many crises and grown up. There’s no way you can’t make the right decision.”
The reason I say this in the first place is because I believe that Eileen will make the right decision.
I don’t know if it’s right after the return.
At this point, having experienced many things together, I have become a colleague that I can trust enough.
“Uh um….”
Aileen looked at ‘Liuel Lindel’ with eyes filled with complex emotions.
A being that originates from itself.
And the existence that she thought she might be his ‘younger sister’ who died a long time ago.
“…I see.”
However, Aileen’s worries did not last long. There were too many things he had accumulated to deepen his worries.
Didn’t you do your best to fix the chaotic world for three years?
Even if the lingering attachments of childhood hold on to Eileen, it won’t break her.
“You are right. Seeing my sister in that kid is bad for everyone. I see.”
“yes. To put it bluntly, now that ‘Liuel Lindel’ has become another possibility of your childhood.”
“hmm.”
Aileen put on a complicated expression, but it didn’t last long.
He looked at me for a moment and then spoke in a slightly sloppy voice.
“No, but what is a psychopath? A psychopath. There must be a better way to express it, but why… ….”
“If it weren’t for that, I would have rationalized it by saying that it didn’t work.”
“….”
At those words, Eileen slightly averted her gaze.
It looks like it was stabbed.
He has a somewhat rebellious temperament, so I won’t listen to him unless I say it very strongly.
Eileen slowly walked towards Riuel.
“The reason was very trivial. When I heard that a mutant species had appeared, I went out on my own. It can get complicated if other people get entangled in it.”
“I see.”
“Then I met him and I instinctively realized. Oh this child… …You need a memory.”
“….”
Mutants can duplicate anyone’s memories.
either the bad one or the good one.
It doesn’t matter which one.
Isn’t there no way that good and evil exist in instinct in the first place.
Eileen must have thought that it would be better to provide her memories rather than bet on an uncertain possibility.
“But after duplicating my memories, the first thing this child did was the word ‘sister’… ….”
“….”
“It was just kind of like that.”
Eileen said that as she approached Riuel and gently stroked her hair.
“I thought it because this child recognized me as ‘sister’. Maybe this kid cloned… ….”
“I thought it was about your sister, ‘Liuel Lindel’?”
“Yes, so I just gave this child the name ‘Riuel’ without even realizing it.”
“Last name Lindel?”
“I told you the circumstances, and my father gave it to me.”
“lol.”
Riuel accepted Eileen’s hand and smiled happily.
thank god.
have it pre-arranged.
My heart would have collapsed if Riuel had the same expression as in the previous image.
Anyway.
“It doesn’t matter if you name it at least, as long as you don’t identify this child with your sister.”
“Yes, I know.”
Eileen nodded with a firm expression. If the guy said it that way, that’s what it would be like.
But there is another thing that needs to be pointed out here.
“It was great.”
“….”
Eileen’s hand, which was gently stroking Riel, trembled.
“This is definitely a fashion that is hard to digest with a pink dress and pigtails.”
“….”
“You have chosen a very difficult path. It was the first time I knew you had such a rough time today.”
“….”
“It’s okay, it’s okay! A person at your age could just wear a pink frilly dress! You can even hold a magic wand!”
“….”
“By the way, did you ever dream of becoming a great mage when you were young? then…Am I the one who stands at the pinnacle of your longing? Ha ha ha ha!”
It’s not often that you get a chance to play this one-sidedly so desperately.
I continued to pout at Eileen, who was shaking her shoulders. Because I was not good enough to miss such a good opportunity.
Then Eileen shouted.
“That kind of problem…! Even you won’t be completely free. …!”
“…!”
Could it be that he is trying to bring up ‘that topic’?
I shuddered.
“I was shameless, so I was shutting up, but if you tease me like this, I have no choice but to explode!”
“that…!”
“Isn’t it because I don’t remember? What exactly did you do on my 17th birthday… …!”
“Shut up!”
stop! should stop here
I forgot for a moment that there was an element of counterattack from Eileen’s point of view as my eyes rolled over for a moment.
Lian, who was watching it quietly, gave a brief evaluation while chewing on the nuts he had kept in his arms.
“This is a feast for idiots.”
accurate…It was a review.
* * *
After a while, I brought Eileen back to the Duke of Lindell family.
Is it a victory that only hurts?
Conflict is nothing more than a mass of trouble that leaves only scars in the end.
“Eileen, starting today, we are going to ask each other about all the painful memories.”
“Yes we…You are a colleague.”
We trudged to the mansion, burnt white with exhausted faces.
Lian looked at the two of us like that and looked at me like an idiot.
…what can i do
Even if I thought about it, it seemed a little nerd. At the time, I was just joking around like crazy, but now that I think about it, it was kind of ugly… ….
“You guys are really heroes and fellow warriors in front of other people, so don’t say things like that.”
“….”
“Where will I live because I am ashamed? I don’t want to go out with you.”
I looked at Lian quietly.
After I’ve been silent for three years, that bastard’s nose has grown too high. The title of grand master must have been a bit sweet.
Well, see you later.
Thinking so, I turned my head to the side.
Riel was quietly cradled in Eileen’s arms. Perhaps this child will grow his ego and live as a member of Lindel.
while walking like that.
“Oh, Mikhail. Come to think of it, I didn’t say that.”
“hmm?”
Eileen said with a smile.
“Nice to meet you after a long time.”
“….”
“I don’t know what exactly you’ve been doing for the past three years, but you’ve been doing what you would do. You always did.”
It’s something I would do.
If it was me to go around diligently while filling my bucket list, it would be me, but… ….
“Well, I’m glad too.”
“I couldn’t tell you at the time, but I was relieved that I came back safely.”
At that time, it was probably the story of the time when I was playing pirates.
Back then, I had no time to spare or anything to do because I was bouncing around all of a sudden… ….
Oh, what a warm atmosphere.
not bad.
Apparently, there is nothing else to worry about with the Duke of Lindell family… …
“Oh, I see.”
“huh?”
Eileen continued with a nonchalant expression.
“Did you hear that His Excellency the Marquis of Walpurgis is coming soon?”
“….”
No fuck.
