“I have listened to your words. To be honest, I couldn’t understand everything… … I don’t know if it can be interpreted as saying that it is only the will of God that I have become such a body. If that contract is real.”
“Well, that’s what it is. I can’t tell you what’s written in the contract, though. You don’t have much to worry about right now. There is just such a thing, just know enough and live. Because no one knows when the time will come. That’s why I tell you in advance.”
It was slurred and slurred. As if it was too early for me, he did not give a clear explanation. No, it’s more than that. I got the feeling that Elena herself didn’t have the option of telling me something. It seems that there are some limits. Don’t tell me when it’s a little bigger, sweetheart. They used to have the same nuances, but somehow they had a different atmosphere.
When I look at Elena with calm eyes, she smiles at me with an unknown meaning.
“… … If I could give you one more point, the demons are paying attention to you because you are so heterogeneous. Of course, if you are in a crisis like the last case, you will have some countermeasures in place. I’ll take care of the demons around you for a while, so you can just walk around with peace of mind.”
Then, did I say that I was overzealous? You mean Nadielli was going to target me from the start? Thinking like that, the image of Nadieli, who had a strange smile when she first saw me, flashed through my mind.
Was that the same act as finding a tasty prey and taking a bite? Chicken meat, unknown in English, is excellent. However, hearing Elena’s promises gave me a little relief. He bowed his head broadly.
“… … Thank you, senpai.”
“Yeah, Sasha. It should be rewarding It’s unpaid work, but it’s disappointing if you get passion pay.”
Elena smiled broadly.
“Someone said that I had been hanging out somewhere for the past three years, and I felt a bit unfair. In fact, if I had been sucking coconuts on a bench by a scenic beach, I wouldn’t have had a mouth to talk about like that… … ”
I murmured and looked at a distant place that wasn’t me. Through the thick smoke, Elena’s golden eyes scattered a faint light. After a while, Elena turns her head indifferently towards me.
“Do it now.”
“… … Yes?”
“That’s what I was going to say. Do it.”
ah… He made a noise and shook his head.
The decision has already been made.
I told you not to do anything you’ll regret.
In fact, either way I might regret it. Whether you live in this state of losing your memories, forgetting the full story of everything. He finally regains his memory, and as Elena said, whether he lives with a broken personality. I’m sure I’ll regret it in the past.
I’d rather not look for it.
I’d rather find
If it was going to happen anyway, I would choose the lesser evil, not the worst. In the end, it would appear to change the choice for the best. no matter what for sure.
The tightly closed mouth opened at once.
“Remember, I’ll get it back.”
bowed his head.
“Please cooperate. Seniors.”
Elena didn’t say anything for a while.
There was only a very brief reaction.
“OK.”

🤩🤩🤩🤩 Tombs of dead cigarettes are pushed aside. The piles of papers that were around it are all pushed aside. The momentum was great.
Even the dust on the table was wiped away and the surface was quite clean.
Lower the leg that was raised as if it were hanging over and crack the neck. He even let out a cool moan.
Elena suddenly raised her hand. Outstretched palms suddenly crouched. The gray smoke that filled the bluish-dark room swirled and sucked in, as if a huge pressure surged from within her clenched fists.
I didn’t even know what I had done. Blurred vision became clear. So Elena, who had removed all the smoke, lightly brushed her hands. Now you look at me as if I’m a little more comfortable.
“I was able to do this earlier… … ”
“tiring. annoying. And it’s fun to see the subtle reactions.”
giggling like a bad boy Then he rummaged through his arms and pulled out a new pack of cigarettes. profit. Light the fire and breathe out smoke again.
… … No, you’re smoking a few packs. Eventually, the cigarette smoke did not go away. I don’t know if I can go back to this. I think it will get noticed in a different way on the tram.
“Hold on a second. I have something to give you.”
He reached out and rummaged through the pile of papers he had just put away. If you find something useful, tear it up and cut it into a suitable size.
I picked up a pen that was wandering around and started writing on the paper. square, square.
My eyes are gloomy because of staying up all night. Suddenly, he glanced at me and said, “… You’re not doing this because you’re old.” After muttering, I teased the pen again.
widely. Elena put down her pen. I thought for a moment, then bit my thumb. Small, dark red blood dripped down on it.
Just before putting it on the paper that was about to flow down, a blue light flashed. It looks like some kind of magical treatment is being applied. It’s blood-based magic. what was it
Elena folded the finished piece like a note a few times, and handed it out to me with a somewhat open face.
“Take it.”
“… … What is this?”
“A letter of intimidation.”
“Yes?”
“If you take this and shove it around your neck as if to kill you, even if it’s a raw man’s request, he’ll do it.”
“… … ”
Once I gave it, I received it.
It’s a shaky reaction, says Elena.
“Have you ever heard of Akasha’s Star?”
“… … Yes, of course if you are a citizen of the Empire… ”
All humans in the world live on continents. It is the empire that rules the continent. It is the Star of Akasha that unites the Empire’s prestigious wizards and scholars. Therefore, Akasha’s star is the highest on the continent and the strongest horse tower.
There is a reason for those born on the continent, who walk the path of magic, to have Akasha’s Star Pagoda as their primary goal in life.
“The master over there is my friend. He might be able to help you.”
“… … !”
I had dinner yesterday, and seeing Elena saying that with an indifferent tone, I couldn’t help but swallow my surprise.
that too. give the tower
Not a regular horse tower, but a giant horse tower.
Among them, having a friend who is supposed to exist at the top of the star of Akasha, which is considered the highest horse tower on earth… …
Even the emperor of the empire would not be able to treat him rudely. Not only does he possess unparalleled power, but his reputation as a wizard and a scholar is to the extent that he ridiculously surpasses the 10th rank – Deca.
“You don’t know, but Akasha’s Star is currently operating in three divisions. As of now, since 9 years ago, the Aether School has been evaluated as the best camp. Tetra Crowley, the head of the Aetheric Order, the 3rd Horseman, is well-versed in the field of dealing with souls, so maybe he can give me a more definitive solution than me. It was a long time ago, but I also received a lot of help from him. The skill is certain.”
Yeah, that’s for sure. If you are the best wizard on the continent… …
“Of course— I can’t go and meet you right now. It’s been a very free year. The last time I saw you was a year ago… … Probably on the way back by now. By mid-April, they should have already arrived.”
Is it April… …
Not much left.
As I was contemplating the next schedule, Elena suddenly spoke up.
“I’m not going to stay there for a while, so make an appointment with me for four hours. I don’t know what’s going on with her. Because I didn’t write a letter with a stigma for nothing. If you rush in, I will meet you somehow. Instead, if you act like an asshole, you can lose one. I specifically allow it.”
“… … Yes? uh, that’s a bit… ”
“What ma? Is your old man funny?”
“No, that’s… … ”
“Isn’t it Gura? Really. Tetra likes that b*tch, actually fit. If you look like you, I don’t think it’s possible at all. Even if you kick your ass first, will you be happy inside?”
“… … ”
I didn’t know what to say here, so I just shut up. I got information I didn’t want to know. What a peculiar quirk of a person who becomes the best wizard on the continent… … I wondered how much I would get if I sold this information for money.
At the same time, Elena seemed to be talking playfully, but the unexpectedly serious thing gave me a really strange feeling.
Elena looked at my hardened face and burst into laughter.
“It’s about not getting nervous. Most of the magicians in the tower are a group with a taste for one place, but in the end, don’t forget that they are humans just like you. As long as we speak the same language, we can communicate. Be sure to tell me what you want without averting your eyes. If you communicate your will clearly like now, Tetra will show some sincerity.”
Elena says so and looks at me. with clearer eyes. The dreary atmosphere from before was suddenly lifted. The other eye could not be seen because of the eye patch, but it seemed to be sucked into Elena’s shapely golden pupil.
“… yes, so He’s damn handsome.”
In the past, he laughed out loud.
After burning the last cigarette, it bounces off the ashtray. Elena, who was scratching her head, broke her back with a moan. She looked up at the ceiling endlessly, then lowered her gaze slightly and turned towards me.
“It is now. I’ve told you everything.”
I nodded heavily.
And then he said thank you.
“… … I didn’t know you would take care of me like this. Thank you very much, Elena-senpai. How am I supposed to repay you? ”
blurred the end of his speech. He was truly grateful to Elena. She is known to be a very selfish person, and her words and actions are also somewhat burdensome at times, but in the end, she did a lot of troublesome things for me here. Thanks to Elena-senpai, I was able to hold even a small hope of memories that I might never have regained forever.
I wasn’t sure myself, but it was definitely a big harvest for me. The thought that he would be able to find an answer by going to Elena was the correct answer as a result.
Elena chuckles. He shrugged his shoulders and abruptly got up from the chair. Elena walked over to me with a bruise and puts her hand on my shoulder. cigarette smell. sweat smell. The smell of an adult woman. Elena, who was looking down at me, said suddenly.
“I’m sorry, but there’s nothing you can do for me. No matter what you want from me, you can’t give me anything. So I don’t need anything in return.”
“… … ”
“From now on, do what you have to do. Always do your best and live with no regrets. That way, when you die, you’ll be less f*cked up. Do you understand, mate?”
Elena wanted my short answer.
I did that.
“… … Yes, sir.”
Elena smiled as if she was satisfied.
