Chapter 25 - Elena “Admiration, I see...” The young woman repeated the words to herself while scratching her left cheek, a troubled expression on her face. “It’s beautiful.” Followed by a melancholic smile. “I’ve talked with all sorts of people, but your way of life and thinking are definitely the most beautiful among those I’ve heard. Beautiful, yes, but it also gives me the feeling of being in a prison.” A prison? Now that was a rather extreme metaphor. So I thought, but it also…-

Chapter 26 - Kind of Embarrassing “Magic that turns back time and ruins the empire is interested in...hmm...” I looked at the door close behind Elena’s party, then whispered to myself. This request I received from the merchant Dvorg Tsarrich became more complex the more time passed, I realized. But even if I thought about it— “...I still don’t know about the ruins, but there’s no way magic like that exists.” For me, that was all there was to it. I proceeded to imitate Elena and drink…

Chapter 22 - Rely on Me I went to eat lunch with Ratifah and ended up paying for everything. Since she used the opportunity to satisfy every last one of her desires, we returned to our lodging in the late afternoon. The other two had already returned, so I found Feli sitting on the bed. The room had been devastated by Ratifah’s destructive antics, but — surely thanks to Feli — it was in the same state we found it in after check-in now. “You’re back pretty early.” I glanced at Ratifah, standing…

Chapter 24 - Time Magic It just didn’t feel right to sleep in an unfamiliar place. I felt it very strongly. After talking with the boy, I had dinner and went straight to bed, but I woke up at a weird time. I could hear the crickets outside. Maybe they were still young, as their cries sounded kind of awkward. “...so sleepy.” My eyes still half-closed, I whispered my honest feelings. Beyond the thin veil of the curtains, the sky was turning from night to day. Gentle sunlight peered through the…

Chapter 18 - “Hero” — “Heart Scan” “ — Scanner!! Are you even listening!?” Dark, barely lit underground ruins. A room surrounded by walls covered with cryptical paintings. The eerie atmosphere made the air feel heavy. The beacons lit in the four corners of the room were the only source of light. It was a place aptly described as “out of this world”. “...shut up. You know I’m using ‘Heart Scan’ right now. Any noise will disrupt the memories.” The words came from a man…

Chapter 20 - Shizuki Fithdan. A town located close to the “Forest of Downfall”, one might think a proximity to such a dangerous location caused it to be a small town with a scarce population, but, thanks to the forest, the surrounding area was rather peaceful and untouched by war. This caused people to gather, so the town was no solitary hamlet. We arrived in Fithdan after a few hours of travel from Diestburg. Feli was not with me right now: the only thing at my side was a shadow-colored blade, my…

Chapter 15 - Fear “Was that really alright?” The room looked like a hurricane had passed through it. Feli used her magic to clean it, removing all traces of blood and even the revolting stench of death. “What *that*?” “About her...” Feli then turned towards the open window, curtains fluttering in the wind. “We heard what we wanted to know. If there’s no risk of her targeting us again, then there’s no problem. I wanted to kill her only to get rid of a seed of concern.” So once she…

Chapter 17 - The Forest of Astray “...did you really have to accept that so easily?” Feli frowned. I casually replied “yeah, that’s ok” while tossing pasta in my mouth with a fork and spoon. Dvorg was probably satisfied after saying what she wanted to, so she already left. She just said we would meet again in Warrick’s shop, three days later at noon, and left the crowded restaurant without even waiting for a reply. “Well, I promised.” “Promise”. That’s the corny word I used. For me,…
