The Grand Mage who transcends by regression Episode 56
Finding Ariandel is not difficult at all.
Of course, isn’t she a being with unrivaled divine power among the numerous believers in the kingdom?
Besides, like many of my colleagues, Ariandel is someone I’ve spent quite a bit of time with.
It doesn’t make sense to say you can’t find it if you’re within the Church.
“…mountain?”
As a result of a rough check, it seemed that he was climbing a fairly famous mountain in the kingdom.
But why a mountain… ….
While thinking about that, I naturally thought of Ariandel before the return.
– Look, Mikhail!
What did she say with a bright smile… ….
– What if we push this demon out of here?
These were the words that came out in the process of punishing the devil who slaughtered hundreds of people while laughing like a madman.
Nothing was a problem… ….
Why does that come to mind now?
Could it be that the wizard in question, Teyes, is being ‘devil’ of the day by Ariandel… ….
It’s just strange that I think so.
[It leads to a dark place, but it brings back memories. Isn’t it?]
“….”
[It just reminds me of the old days.]
Set said that calmly as he climbed the mountain.
What the hell are his old thoughts?
As someone who has lived a solid life, I can’t understand it.
[By the way, Michael isn’t simply tracking her based on her energy, right?]
“Well, that’s right.”
[Looking at what you’re doing now, it seems like you’re moving by putting yourself in her position rather than following the traces.]
Set’s words were reasonable.
Anyway, I’m quick to notice.
Even after that, I hung out with her all day long for several years before returning.
Predicting her behavior itself is not very difficult.
[Something seems a bit far from the normal marriage proposal process, but it will work somehow.]
“…hmm.”
[Still, I’m saying just in case, Mikhail, you shouldn’t say something like a marriage proposal right in front of your face because it’s been a while. …?]
Set told me with a genuinely worried expression.
Of course, from my point of view, it is absurd.
“Hey, no country can do that. Sounds like nothing is going to happen.”
[No, since he has a criminal record, I’m doing this more.]
“….”
Why does he keep hitting where it hurts?
The right person is sad.
[Besides, I haven’t had any other experiences since then. From my point of view, you’re like a bomb that doesn’t know when it will explode.]
Oh, that’s really too much.
But it’s so sad that it can’t be completely denied.
If you think about it… ….
‘I guess I didn’t have time to experience it.’
When I was young, I remember something like a dog, but no matter how much it is an experience. ….
After that… …just been busy
Because in the first place, there was no time to indulge in the luxurious feeling of love.
The same after regression.
As a result, the Great Mage was literally born.
It can’t be a sad reality.
“Okay…it’s okay No matter what, it’s because I’ve been through this and that.”
[I’m glad then… ….]
He looked at me worriedly with the expression of a mother looking at her son who is missing a set.
[Honestly, I know you’re really good at magic or cheating, but I don’t believe in things like this… ….]
“….”
Stop assaulting facts… ….
If you do more than that, your heart will be broken before you even put the marriage proposal into action.
In the first place, even from my point of view, I know that it is irrational to say a marriage proposal endlessly.
But it’s a promise.
Isn’t my purpose in the first place to keep the promise I made a long time ago before anything else.
In any case, the more I went through such a conversation with Set, the stronger I felt Ariandel’s presence.
[By the way, Mikhail.]
“…hmm?”
[The reason you want to confess to the saintess is simply to keep your promise, or are your emotions really telling you to do that?]
“….”
I couldn’t answer that for a while.
Which one.
“Didn’t I tell you before?”
[But since it’s right around the corner, I thought it would be better to make it a little more certain. Even for you, not for anyone else.]
“….”
I am not an inexperienced child.
Of course, it’s not a problem I was worried about. Whenever I think of these issues, old memories come to mind.
Memories with colleagues.
Of course, there were quite a few memories with Ariandel.
“What should I say?”
It is a memory that would have been cut off originally.
As originally planned, if only I had the memory before rewinding, it would have just ended there.
He would have had a new relationship with the saintess Ariandel, and he would have strictly separated her from before returning.
However, Ariandel, who was reunited, had old memories.
And how did I feel when I realized that fact?
“At that time, I thought I was saved. Because I am not alone.”
[…] …Hmm.]
“Lian has that guy too. But in Lian’s case… …There is no effect that I intentionally did that, you know?”
[That’s also true.]
Lian doesn’t have the side I induced. I thought it was a way to make him stronger.
“But Ariandel was different.”
she was just like that
The girl I met was originally the girl before the regression. And at that moment, I think I was freed from the feeling of loneliness.
“Even before returning, I was greatly influenced by her. Either way, I was able to get out of despair.”
[That is, you mean….]
“Yes.”
After thinking about it one by one, it became clear.
“This is my will.”
I waited for an excuse like a promise, but in the end it was my will.
I want to respond in my own way to the feeling of liberation I experienced then.
“If it wasn’t for that in the first place, there would be no way I would have done such a trivial thing. I just do it because I want to, that’s just the story.”
[Well, you were that kind of guy.]
Set nodded, saying he understood.
[Come to think of it, I forgot for a moment that you couldn’t do something you didn’t mean to do.]
“That’s right.”
If you didn’t have it in your heart, there wouldn’t have been anything grandiose like a plan in the first place.
just what i want to do
[Then do it yourself. Whether it breaks or succeeds, it will work somehow.]
“…Yes, thank you very much.”
In any case, the direction became clear, to say it was thanks to the set.
but.
[Of course, let’s try to prevent murder first.]
“…okay.”
Human life comes first. Cancer.

Ariandel dragged Thays around and stopped for a moment. Then, as if seized by some great emotion, he stared blankly into space.
“hey.”
That’s how I called Thayce.
“Yes…yes?”
When Thayce hurriedly answered Ariandel’s words, she quietly looked at Thayce.
“Looks like you’re a bit older… …Is that right?”
“I was over sixty this year. yes….”
“okay. sixty….”
Ariandel muttered that, then looked at Thayce with cold eyes and said.
“Why would someone so old do such a thing?”
“Uh um…That is….”
If you say it’s fun, you’ll probably quit this job.
Thays thought that and began to roll his head like crazy.
Your clever brain as a wizard starts spinning right now!
“new…Shall we say for a start?”
“New beginning?”
“Yes, everyone has moments when they need to change. I am…It was a change in a slightly different way.”
Of course it’s bullshit.
However, Thayce’s clever brain was shouting that this bullshit was the only way to survive.
“A normal person…Infringing on portrait rights and changing to a woman is a new start… …?”
“that that…Back to the bar! Ah yo! Portrait rights must not be infringed! Just let go and I’ll go right back and clean it all up!”
It was a car that made me think that if I could go back, I would just stick to the tower and do research.
He is in a state of burning desire to survive.
want to live
I really want to survive fiercely.
In particular, every time I saw Ariandel’s cold eyes, my desire to survive grew rapidly.
‘Four murderers… …! Those are the eyes of a murderer!’
It was when I was trembling at the thought of that.
Ariandel’s voice was heard.
“Still, living this long means that you have that much experience.”
“…Is that right?”
“Do you have any experience with the opposite sex?”
“This opposite sex…Sane….”
does not exist.
I’ve never had anything like that in my sixty years.
‘Magic is the best!’ Isn’t it the years of living crying out the same words?
But this time too, Thayce’s instincts were speaking furiously. If you don’t even talk bullshit, it will be difficult to save your life… ….
“there is! Hehe of course there is! I hope there is no way!”
“okay. Then, usually in a relationship with the opposite sex, confession is…Which side do you go first?”
“I confess….”
I quickly shook my head.
which answer is best After pondering so much, he soon came to a simple conclusion.
‘Now the saintess is calm and doesn’t want an objective answer!’
All she wants is an answer that will settle her mind in her favor. Or a clue to get courage!
yes i get it
Thayes praised himself for coming to that conclusion.
“A man confesses!”
“Is that so?”
“That’s right! What a man should do! A woman just needs to wait!”
※no.
But what’s the use of the truth? Now, the survival of Thayce is urgent. Truth is of no use whatsoever.
Ariandel nodded and murmured.
“That’s right. Confession is from the man’s side… …Well then… …I don’t have to go… ….”
‘You’d think there’s none.’
Of course, even the inexperienced Tays knows that’s not the case.
Does it matter who confesses?
The opposite side does it first.
However, for the current saintess, such a truth was not important.
“if…Are you thinking about the hero?”
“…!”
Ariandel flinched.
Thays didn’t know why he was receiving such counseling when he was on the verge of being immersed.
But once I decided to do it. It just seemed like the survival rate would be higher on that side.
I have no experience, but what does it matter?
It was just a matter of thinking that he was running a simulation with the saintess acting as his proxy.
“Hmm…From the point of view of those who have experienced it, there is no need for the saintess to be so anxious about it.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes, it seems that the hero has feelings for the saintess….”
“Yes…Joe? Is that so?”
“….”
I do not know.
In the first place, he didn’t know what was going on between the hero and the saint, so how could he know?
But that doesn’t matter, so I decided to just keep talking.
“But originally, heterosexual relationships are all fights for strength.
“The fact that you can’t duck down and go in…First of all, do you think I should physically overpower Mikhail-sama…I hate that… ….”
“steamer…subdue?”
“Doesn’t saying that you shouldn’t bow down and enter means that you have to physically subdue the opponent first so that they recognize the gap between you and the opponent?”
“….”
what kind of bullshit… ….
A conclusion that makes even the wizard who has lived as a virgin for 60 years stop thinking… …!
‘An incomprehensible existence in another dimension… …!’
Thays instinctively felt fear at the creature in the form of a saint in front of him.
