7. Jealousy is my strength (23)
about other people’s memories.
It was a topic I hadn’t really thought about before. What is the reason for arguing over other people’s memories in the first place?
It wasn’t even worth thinking about. People who lead ordinary lives will not even think of such a topic.
The only problem was that my life had veered off the track of “normal life” early on.
I was able to peek into other people’s memories.
No, I didn’t know that the expression ‘others’ could be absurd. Because that opponent was none other than ‘me’.
Memories of a man who had to walk a lonely road.
The hazy dream appeared before my eyes, regaining volume and texture. I had been aware of the true identity of this little girl who was alive and moving from a long time ago.
It was ‘The Grand Witch’.
One of only three masters on the continent, and the person I served as my teacher from the future.
My eyelids trembled at the emotion that filled me with tears. The memory of her was not mine, and therefore this inspiration was not mine either.
The reverberation alone was enough to make her lose her composure for a moment.
Of course, he soon regained his composure. It wasn’t long after I regained consciousness that it was difficult to realize it, but when I regained my reason, there was no reason for me to cry.
However, the girl looking down at me was the ‘Great Witch’.
I couldn’t ignore the eyes of a woman who had lived for hundreds of years. A faint interest spread across his tired face.
“… … Whoa.”
It had eyes like those of a beast hunting its prey.
The way he slightly raised the corner of his mouth was strangely menacing, so I had to jump right up.
“Pe, Ian of the Percus family met the national envoy of the ten southern kingdoms… … .”
“It’s amazing.”
Tak, shaking off the pipe, the archwitch smiled incomprehensibly.
“We know each other for the first time, but to recognize me right away… Have you ever met before?”
It was a reasonable point.
I couldn’t get an answer out of that relaxed tone. Open and close your lips.
After a while, he just spewed out commonplace excuses.
“No, that… I’ve respected the Archwitch since before… … .”
“You must have been very respectful.”
Peek, burst into laughter and the archwitch slowly raised her body. His gestures of brushing off his clothes and putting a pipe into his mouth gave off a mature feeling.
That’s why she was a woman who gave a more confused impression.
From the way he speaks, to the things he does, his years of experience permeated one by one, but only his appearance has deflected the years.
I was still hesitant, unable to escape the shock of the sudden encounter. Like it or not, the Archwitch didn’t seem particularly concerned about me. I just left a meaningful remark.
“… … As long as you put on such a sad face as soon as you see me.”
I did it anyway, but it was like that.
The Archwitch seemed to be fully aware of the ripples of emotion that had rippled through my face. I tried to explain it somehow.
“No, I… That’s it… … !”
“It’s okay, it’s okay.”
However, the Archwitch waved her left hand as if it were useless.
Hagiya was already a woman who had reigned as the absolute for hundreds of years. Even if he was famous in the world, there was no reason to pay attention to a man who was still lacking in a child.
“If you are, then so be it… No matter how many years I’ve lived, I can’t do things like peeping into other people’s minds. So let’s stop wasting our time in vain.”
Who dares to vomit?
I finally had to keep my eyes open and shut my mouth again. A few times I glanced at him like a guilty puppy.
Fuuu, along with a long sigh, the cigarette smoke continued into the air.
the next moment.
The jaw closed and the airway closed. I couldn’t even breathe, and I had to stare at the world where the light disappeared for a moment.
In the shadowy world, light green eyes were shining alone.
Standing casually, could the glance cast behind her back be so ruthless and cold?
“… … What the hell have you done?”
Mana became a liquid with density and filled the lungs. Just the mere presence alone was such an intimidating feeling, even this was an extremely small fragment compared to the main body’s power.
If this is the case, I will die.
I didn’t need reason. My pupils dilated at will and began to illustrate the blurred vision.
It was as if a strange sound had passed through my ears.
“Hoo.”

Just before my retinas burned with a silvery aura.
Back, the magic around me tightened my heart even more violently. I wanted to scream at the pain beyond imagination, but it was a yard where I couldn’t even breathe.
There was no way that such freedom would be allowed to me.
Whoops, whoops.
My body, clutching my neck with both hands, fell to the ground again. A calm, weak voice descended upon my tormented body.
“The balance of the five elements has collapsed… It’s a story confined to this area, but the rift always hides a growing threat. Flow is an uncontrollable waterway, how can I turn back the scales that have already tilted?”
jerk, jerk.
The sound of the Archwitch’s footsteps pierced my eardrums. It was a gait without feeling any guilt.
“Of course, I have to remove the weights, right? Let me explain in a more understandable way… The world is like a thick cloth, upon which all streams are made. But what if a heavy stone is placed on top of that cloth?”
All streams converge around that stone.
The knowledge I had never learned hit my brain like a heavy rain. It seemed that the archwitch’s words were already being heard.
‘And that stone is you.’
“And that stone is you.”
It was a strange sensation.
As my breath became choked and my consciousness blurred, my five senses became more sensitive. From the edge of his sharpened tactile senses, knowledge that he should not have known flowed in.
The archwitch slightly lowered her upper body. An emotionless whisper wet my ears.
“… … .Don’t be too resentful.”
It was then.
The view is split, split, split… … .
It was only after the space was broken down into solid lines so fine that nothing could be seen, that I realized.
The intangible flow that was tying me up.
After that, I was just following my instincts.
A silver laceration engraved in the air.
It was a straight line, and the hatchet that rose out of nowhere drew a long solid line, and the Archwitch’s eyes widened. Although the body of the Archwitch, who had taken a few steps back before she knew it, had even the slightest scratch.
Finally, I was able to gasp and beat my chest.
Even after inhaling a lot of oxygen, the painful feeling did not go away. After a few more seconds of calming my breathing, I regained my sanity.
My misty gaze turned to the Archwitch without a word.
The woman who couldn’t erase her bewildered look then burst into a faint laugh.
“I see, it wasn’t your fault.”
I was already exhausted. I didn’t even have the energy left to scream.
I just gasped and breathed in.
“People who are cunning enough to conspire like this don’t show their true feelings until right before they die… Since the matter was so serious, I did a bad thing to you. As an adult, I apologize.”
Then the Archwitch slowly bent her back. The posture of placing one hand on the chest of the opposite side, in the Southern Ten Kingdoms, traditionally contained the meaning of apology.
It was a sign of maximum sexuality that could be seen as a smiling adult. Even so, it would not be able to compensate for the experience of being driven to the brink of death, but what can I do?
In fact, I was the one who crossed this line many times.
Eventually, a small sigh escaped my lips.
I didn’t mean to kill anyway, so what?
“… … Fine. Because it is such a serious matter.”
In addition, I also wanted to solve this situation quickly.
For the purpose, there had to be times when he had to bend his pride. She couldn’t lose her helper, who was about the size of an archwitch, over petty grudges.
Yeah, it should have ended like that.
“However, there is one more thing I want to ask… … .”
I felt a strange pressure from that subdued voice.
It was a depth of emotion that could not even be compared to before. Even though it didn’t materialize physically, the psychological threat itself was more than double the time it took my breath away.
The archwitch, straightening her back again, asked.
“You bastard, what is it?”
There was no need to ask what he was talking about.
It was because the Archwitch asked again with a suspicious look in her eyes.
“How do you know my vision? No, not at the level I know… It must have taken a lot of practice to become skilled enough to handle it in real combat. How the hell?”
That step, the moment I felt that the Archwitch was approaching me.
My chin was already in the hands of the archwitch. Turning my face around, those eyes that were carefully scanning me looked dangerous somewhere.
It was like a wizard facing an intricate riddle.
And the magicians, if there is a riddle, must be solved to solve it.
A cold sweat ran down my back.
“That, that’s it… … !”
“It would be better not to mix one grain of lies.”
The voice that came out of scratching the vocal chords was ferocious.
It was worth it. Because the master’s vision was like the fruit of a lifetime of cultivation.
Since it was stolen, I couldn’t imagine how the Archwitch would feel.
So it was even more worrying.
What if you tell the truth?
It wouldn’t be strange if he tried to kill me right away, saying what nonsense he was talking about.
Or, what if you spread plausible lies?
In front of a sage who has lived for hundreds of years, he did not dare to recite lies. It wasn’t strange even if he was killed.
A truly desperate moment.
It was then that the strange thing happened.
“I couldn’t have looked at it wrong… No matter how weak it may be, Hae (解) is the only technique that can solve my knot. It’s worthwhile to deliberately overdo it… What?!”
Shocked, the archwitch’s body flinched as if she had received an electric shock.
It was a sudden change.
As if even the Archwitch hadn’t expected this, surprise was oozing out of her round eyes. It didn’t take long for the woman’s face to turn pale.
“Big… Ugh, turn it off… … !”
stagger.
The body of the woman who had been gritting her teeth and holding back her moans began to stagger. It wasn’t just the Archwitch who was startled by the sudden accident, so I froze on the spot with my eyes wide open.
What the hell is this?
Before this question could be continued, the archwitch’s body fell flat on the ground.
His body trembled with pain that exceeded his limit. As if squeezing water from a dry rag, the Archwitch twisted her body and squeezed out a moan.
“Uh, why… Big, already… … !”
I hesitated for a long time after that. I didn’t know what to do, how long did I want to leave the archwitch groaning in pain?
Suddenly, a memory flashed through my brain like lightning.
yes, if this
I immediately started to run, holding the archwitch’s tiny body on top.
