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 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 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 23 - Hot Water “Things you want to ask, huh...” The boy surely knew I would ask sooner or later. That’s the impression he gave as he replied. The look he gave me seemed to urge me to continue, so I complied. “I heard about those ancient relics, but not about what they actually contain.” “You want me to tell you?” As soon as the boy said that, I slowly shook my head. “No. What I want to know is whether they contain what I’m thinking. I don’t want to know the contents themselves.…

Chapter 27 - After All, I… I disliked solitude. Because it felt so utterly empty, so hollow — it made me want to die. In my past life — when I lost all my companions. I desperately wanted to escape the solitude. That was probably what led me to my dreams. To lucid dreaming. In my heart, my soul was darkened by shadows as I desperately refused to accept my solitude. I was aware of it. Because of that, whenever I was on my own, I spent time in fruitless, meaningless ways. “It makes me relax…

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 14 - Geass Scroll “You’re really damn careful, aren’t you…!?” Idies Farizard’s voice was dry. Her shadow had been stabbed by countless dark blades, as if they were sewing it to the ground. Her breathing was ragged, her complexion pale. Paired with the blood smears on her face, her skin looked just like a corpse’s. “...why won’t you kill me? Last time...you didn’t show a hint of mercy. Aren’t you weird…?!” When she showed me the illusion of the person I treasured more than…

Chapter 13 - Sensation In the heart and in memories… In both of them existed various “locks”. If one’s heart opened to someone else, the distance between them became much smaller. If locked memories were released, they would overflow just like a river rupturing through a dam. Locks that worked like that. Something ground and grated. Various scenes flashed in my head. They all lasted an instant before moving to the next in rapid succession. A torrent of memories came alive in my head. Memories that…
