282 – Space-Time Paradox (1)
“Oh, wait a minute! Drin, your body-“
Hwivien was the first to notice the incident.
Through her series of events, he realized her destructive power (?) And watched her closely to gauge her power (?) In preparation for her becoming a threat in the future (?).
“Hmm?”
Hwivien pointed to Drin’s finger. Everyone’s eyes were focused on that place.
“This…” “
Drin lifted her own hand and looked closely at the end of it.
“Lady Leolian. “Is there any magic that makes you invisible?”
Just as Miz said, the tips of her fingers had become transparent.
Like a sketch on uncolored white paper.
“It’s not that such magic doesn’t exist, but… “That seems like something different.”
“To begin with, that guy doesn’t even know about magic. Hey. “Do you know anything?”
“I gave you the sheep trigram, are you okay!? “Do you feel anything wrong with your body?”
“Could you please wait a moment? Because I was in a hurry, I only checked it now. “I will calm down and take stock of my condition.”
Drin closed her eyes.
Forgetting about her Ceylon and her other self for a moment, she focused on the phenomenon in front of her and on her own condition.
“… “
Soon.
She regained her usual calm and a huge ripple appeared on her expression, which had been as calm as a frozen lake.
“Everyone. “Please, don’t be surprised and just listen.”
“Wow! Oh, what should I do! Oh my god!!! I guess it’s a big deal!!! “I guess something went wrong with Miss Delin!?”
“Everyone. Let me take a look at this. “Lady Teln passed away what Lady Libringer said as if she were breathing.”
“Ah, I’m crazy. Don’t make a fuss. You also. “I’d be surprised if you weren’t surprised when you said that.”
“Drink. I’m saying this because I’m worried about this person too, so don’t worry too much. “Please speak comfortably.”
“It’s too bad to worry.”
Kasha nodded and turned her head.
Her face was slightly red.
“… “
Drin, with a faint smile on his face, continued her words.
“Anyway. “I feel like I’m disappearing right now.”
“Look, it’s not a big deal…” What?”
Kasha reflexively disagreed and closed her eyes.
Drin had a nonchalant look on her face, and she spoke so casually that I thought it was really nothing.
After listening closely, the contents were truly shocking.
“What did you just say?”
“Disappearing-… Are you in the process? What is that! Let’s talk so that I can understand! “It’s enough for wizards to talk needlessly pedantically!”
“It’s disappearing!!! “What do you mean by that?”
“Why are you grabbing me by the collar and shaking me? Rather than that. Our Miss Liebringer knows how to tell some pretty outrageous jokes… “You’re kidding, right?”
It was natural for Miz to think that way.
Unlike her shocking remarks, Drin’s expression was as calm as usual, with a smile on her face as if she was happy.
She continued her words with that expression.
“It seems like a very high-dimensional phenomenon. Thanks to the power of the Ceylon Army, we were able to determine the identity of the phenomenon. According to him. As I just said, my existence is fading away. “Now, like this hand.”
After Drin pointed her palm towards them, she flipped her back and forth several times.
Is it because of my mood?
Although it was a little bit, the part of her that became transparent seemed to have increased.
No.
It wasn’t my fault.
It has definitely increased.
“You crazy thing! Are you saying that is bullsh*t!? No!? sh*t! But why do you talk like that! Confusing people-“
“Kasha! Speak kindly! How much did you give? Are you okay? Looking at it, it looks like there’s something wrong with my head… What do we do!? What do we do!?”
“For some reason, it seems like Lady Leonian’s words are harsher – ah~~~”
“Miz~!~!~ Now is not the time to joke!!! The amount you gave is disappearing!!! Oh my god!!!”
The atmosphere became chaotic in an instant.
Kasha and Hwivien are rarely openly embarrassed and their eyes are rolling.
And then Aedrin, who grabbed Miz and shook her back and forth, crying.
“Oh my. Sorry. “I didn’t mean to cause you any trouble.”
“I’m going to be thrilled! It’s your attitude that’s driving us crazy right now!? Why are you so calm!?”
“I think we need to keep our cool in situations like this. And – it’s surprising to me, but I think I’m very lucky to have become friends with great people like you.”
“Ah!!! That’s f*cking correct, and it’s so damn new!!! Ah, I really like that about you- Ah, damn it!!! sh*t!”
“Drin, why are you doing this? Is there anything you can point out!? “I think we need to find out the cause and take action right now.”
“What I’m worried about right now is. That may be the effect of the power possessed by another Libringer girl. “That young lady’s power seemed so strong that even a fool could not control it.”
Heads shaking their heads at Miz’s words.
This is why they are now worried about Drin’s condition with all their might.
Just moments ago, another woman wielded tremendous power with the intention of destroying her world.
“Maybe that girl is trying to harm you! To hurt you and become the real you!”
The situation was so extreme that the opinion that Whivien, a lover of romantic novels, expressed without hesitation and imagination was plausible.
“This is-“
Of course, Liebringer was not an advisor who frustrated others by not being able to understand the situation.
Another reason why Drin can remain calm in the current situation.
“It couldn’t have been the child who did it.”
“… I beg your pardon?”
“It is a very complex feeling and feeling – it is difficult to explain it properly with my limited knowledge and vocabulary – but… “
Drin closed his eyes and concentrated as if he felt something.
“Probably around now. “That child is probably going through the same thing as me.”
“… “
Drin’s actions were ultimately correct.
They assimilated into Drin’s calm atmosphere and regained their composure.
“Calm down, Whivien Leolian. Reasonably. Let’s take a magical approach. “You might know a way to solve that.”
Hwivien’s emerald eyes held her firearm.
Those eyes were looking at the knowledge of Hwivien, which had copied countless magic books, including the vast library that currently exists within the legendary magic family, the Leonian family.
“… “
Kasha of the Hanahan family joined in.
The two wizards’ thoughts expanded like the roots of a giant tree.
How much time passed in such intense concentration?
“Wait a minute.”
Hwivien’s eyes, which had been sinking without knowing the end, rose to the surface.
“Another self… contact… extinction… “
Whivien quickly turned the pages of her memory.
The bookshelf stopped at one point.
“Time paradox… ?”
“Time paradox?”
Kasha followed her words.
“Indeed… “
The two wizards came out of their library carrying some books and faced each other.
“It’s a time paradox… indeed… “
“Huh!? Miz, do you know what it is!?”
“No. I felt somehow left out. “I tried pretending to know.”
“Hey!!!”
It was at that time that Aedrin was nervously pulling Miz’s cheek.
“Drin.”
Hwivien looked at Drin and said.
“It was definitely like that just a moment ago. “No, I think that woman is another you.”
“Yes.”
“When two people meet. “Tell me how you felt.”
The two magicians continued to ask questions while glancing at Drin’s fingertips.
“I will express what I feel. It felt like I was seeing myself left behind somewhere. The moment we met. “I could see that it was essentially the same thing as me.”
“Even at this moment, can you feel that?”
“Yes. Where is it? I don’t know where they are or what they are doing. Yet it feels as if it is right next to me.”
“… “
“… “
The two people looked at each other and nodded.
“Drink. There is a paper like this registered in the Magic Society. “It’s a research paper on space-time magic.”
“The paper shows a situation similar to yours.”
“While the author was researching space-time magic, an unidentified mana explosion occurred. In the process, she created another version of herself.”
“… !”
Drin was visibly embarrassed.
This is proof that she is following the story.
The two people continued talking.
“The author tried to uncover the identity of that existence.”
“So, we tried to restrain it and observe it over a long period of time. But one day. When the assistants visited the lab early in the morning, it was gone. The assistants immediately went to the author’s house to report it. However-“
“The author had also disappeared.”
“The exact fate of the author and ‘it’ has not been revealed in the end, but this is what is included in its observation records.”
[Part of the subject’s body became transparent.]
[The cause is unknown.]
[The transparency of the body appears to be expanding its scope as time passes.]
“Coincidentally, ‘it’ and the author disappeared the very next day after the phenomenon was observed.”
Drin looked down at his hands.
The invisibility that had only encroached on the tips of her fingers just moments ago had now swallowed up her entire finger.
Their expressions became serious.
