The great mage who transcends by returning, episode 34,
kiik kiik… ….
Ryan quietly pushed the wheelchair.
And someone in a wheelchair looked blankly at the sky through the window and smiled.
“The sky is clear.”
clear sky.
Looking at the sky, someone muttered quietly.
“Untouchable….”
“What bullshit are you talking again?”
Rian wanted the guy in the wheelchair talking nonsense, but it wasn’t a day or two, so he decided to just push it.
Because the kid is just shocked.
The hero risked his all to fight and save the world.
What was the end of the hero who did his best to save the world?
Kiki-Kik-Kik… ….
Lian held back the tears and silently looked at the hero sitting in the wheelchair.
There is no sound place.
Except for the eyes, it was enough to see that the whole body was covered in bandages.
To be honest, at this point, wouldn’t it be better to just describe it as a mummy rather than a person?
The hero Mikhail looked up at the sky quietly and muttered again.
“10% friendship….”
“What kind of bullshit are you talking about right now?”
Of course, there was no such thing as Mikhail answering Lian’s words. Just muttering bullshit on a daily basis as always… ….
Anyway, it was.
It seems that there was a huge battle where the mountains were cut down, the rivers dried up, and the land split, but they were beaten like dogs anyway.
“Mikhail.”
“What why?”
“Does our journey end here?”
“Do you think it is over?”
Of course not.
Mikhail grumbled, pushing the wheelchair properly.
Lian let out a small sigh and pushed the wheelchair.
Four days had passed since the great battle that shocked and awed the villagers.
Mikhail was beaten like a dog.
The staff of the Marquis of Walpurgis has finally been perfected and has risen to the level of the 9th Circle in name and reality.
I don’t know why the butler also participated in the war, but he participated and diligently beat Mikhail, and Thoth used all kinds of methods to beat Mikhail like crazy.
All three of them had one thing in common: that Mikhail had been terribly beaten for three years by his opponent.
There were all sorts of reasons to dump Mikhail.
At that time, Lian, who had been pushing a wheelchair for a long time, asked sneakily.
“Hey Mikhail.”
“why.”
“But honestly, couldn’t you have run away right away? There’s no way you couldn’t have run away if you had your heart.”
“….”
Mikhail did not answer for a moment.
I honestly did. The great mage of the 10th circle has never existed even in the entire history of mankind.
Isn’t it Mikhail who took a step towards God in the first place?
If you wanted to run away or do anything, you could have done anything… ….
Mikhail answered quietly.
“The villain…Because I’m used to it.”
“….”
He really thinks he’d be fine if he didn’t talk bullshit like this, but if he opens his mouth it’s bullshit.
Ryan looked at my friend for a moment with a pathetic expression and said.
“Don’t bullshit. What are you so worried about, unlike you? It’s okay to just stick with it like you always do.”
“that….”
Lian let out a small sigh as he saw he hesitated uncharacteristically for Mikhail.
Always been this guy.
It seems shameless, but should I say that it is soft in strange places?
“Did you have no idea whether or not to tell His Excellency the fact that you had returned?”
“….”
“It’s like not saying it, and I’m afraid to say it….”
Mikhail didn’t answer that. But that silence was no different from an answer.
It is as if the demons have disappeared and the source of all evil has disappeared.
But, as with life, not everything works out.
Tasks remain and continue to circulate through life.
Same goes for Mikhail.
Trouble continues.
No matter how big or small the trouble is, people inevitably cannot get out of the bondage.
And, coincidentally, Lian, who is here now, was one of the few people who could match Mikhail’s ‘worries’.
“A lot happened.”
“I mean.”
“To put it bluntly, as you said, before one round of regression…There were not many people who could be proud.”
Rian said that and let out a small sigh.
Seeing the faint trembling of the hand holding the wheelchair, he said that he hadn’t completely let go of that memory yet.
I think so.
“Everyone tried and failed.”
“….”
“I wanted to protect my family, but I couldn’t. Looking back now, I think I was half crazy at the time.”
Ryan thought about that moment for a moment.
memory before regression.
Whether that would be good or bad for him, he wasn’t entirely sure yet.
But if you think about it… ….
‘Did I want to die at the time?’
Unlike now, I really lost so many things.
After thinking about it, I looked at Mikhail again. Already this guy has shaken off a lot.
But even so, there is no such thing as worry.
What he is doing right now can be said to be one of those minor ‘concerns’.
“What do you want to do?”
Ryan has grown up and achieved a lot with Mikhail’s help.
So far, Mikhail has been in the role of giving advice, not receiving it.
But it can’t be like that forever.
Sometimes, he himself may be able to give Mikhail some advice.
Isn’t that what friendship is all about?
“Okay. Still, my case is a bit different from you… ….”
“The cases are different.”
If it’s different, how different… …
‘…Ah, come to think of it, this kid has lost his family.’
I forgot about it for a while
Lian stopped pushing the wheelchair and turned her head away with a puzzled expression.
“He is a son who ruined the family once. Viscount Nostra at the time sold his soul to a demon in order to reach the 8th circle, and I was dragged around by such a viscount.”
“Not anymore.”
“Yeah, but it happened anyway, right?”
Mikhail let out a small sigh.
“My father’s death before returning also started from shouldering too much work alone. just…I don’t know if it’s okay if we go on like this.”
“I guess so.”
All problems have been resolved.
If you dare to recall the history that has already disappeared, nothing good will come of it. After all, Mikhail’s worries are also his own.
I’m worried about whether or not to reveal it because I’m uncomfortable with myself.
Lian, who was thinking about it, came to a conclusion.
“Talk with His Excellency.”
“Conversation….”
Mikhail looked through the window for a moment with tired eyes.
The worry didn’t last long.
“A conversation…I have to.”
It must be the conclusion that I had decided in my heart from the beginning.
But I just needed someone to push my back. Mikhail said to his friend.
“Let’s go to Ryan’s office.”
“…Are you going with me?”
“I don’t think someone will have to push it.”
“You can use magic.”
“Then it won’t live again.”
It was a really unreasonable reason.
Lian let out a small sigh and dragged Mikhail to the office.
This is definitely a good story.
“….”
Rian looked at Mikhail, who was covered in bandages, and shrugged.
‘Something will work.’
If there is a problem, it will be Mikhail who is hit again anyway.
Lian calmly cleared her mind and quietly pushed the wheelchair.
* * *
I succeeded in getting rid of the many mistakes and despair and sadness I experienced before returning.
It wasn’t easy, but I managed to do it somehow. It’s probably because there were other guys who supported me in a normal state.
Saint Ariandel… ….
It helped a lot to have her to share memories with.
But even after solving a problem, I sometimes think about it.
Will this work?
They are not good memories anyway, and there is nothing good about telling others.
Stories that only taste good after hearing them.
But is it really right to hide the fact even from his father?
I’ve been thinking about it.
And after organizing my mind to some extent, I was able to come to a conclusion through a conversation with Lian.
Even if it’s a painful memory, a father has the right to know his son’s past.
“Do you have a father?”
– Come in.
Hearing his father’s voice, I opened the door with Lian’s help and went inside.
My father stopped looking at his work and glanced at me.
“How long are you going to keep doing that ridiculous thing?”
“No, if my father beat me like that and then said that….”
“A nerd-like guy.”
My father gave a small sigh and told me.
“I know you only pretended to get beat up in moderation. At least, he must have properly applied fantasy magic to spread the damage moderately.”
“….”
“Do you think that I, who reached the 9th circle this time, didn’t even notice that?”
In the first place, not only the father, but also the butler and Tot knew it and beat it moderately.
My father said that and looked at me quietly.
I can’t help it if something is broken
“Yes, I understand.”
I simply flicked my fingers and dispelled the illusion magic that was wrapped around me. Then my body returned to normal in an instant.
“no.”
Lian, who had pushed the wheelchair hard next to me, looked at me with a bewildered expression.
“Could it be that you’ve been walking around like that for several days?”
“It’s a kind of mental self-restraint. Let’s just pretend that’s the case.”
“No, this dog….”
The corners of Ryan’s lips trembled as he stared at me.
But what do you mean?
Even so, you can’t just sit still and hit it. Being a person… ….
It’s my instinct to hate being sick.
Anyway.
“…Well, sir, I hope you have a good conversation with your ugly son. The third person will be left out of here, so have a good time.”
Ryan said that and quickly left the office.
The office where only my father and I were left.
“I want to ask you a father.”
“Tell me.”
My father nodded, his eyes fixed on the papers on the desk.
“There are memories I don’t want to bring back to me. It’s a story that my father doesn’t know yet.”
“….”
“Dad, would you like to know about it?”
At those words, the father’s hand, which was at work, stiffened for a moment. My father seemed to think for a moment about what I meant… ….
“To be honest, I don’t really want to hear it if it would be crazy to hear.”
“Is that so.”
“but….”
My father put down the papers he was looking at and looked at me.
“Tell me.”
“No, you just said you didn’t want to hear it.”
I don’t want to hear it, but tell me.
But the father’s expression was quite serious. Looking at me with an expression that I don’t know why, he smiled.
“You are making an expression that it will be easier if you talk, but how can I say that I will not listen? Just speak comfortably.”
“….”
I looked at my father for a moment and recalled old memories.
A father who had to go back quickly because he took on too many things.
After that, I was left alone.
The end of the family… ….
After recalling those memories one by one, he opened his mouth.
“father.”
I don’t know how my father will react after hearing my words… ….
“I went back in time once.”
Let’s clear it all up though.
