Episode 575
“Does it mean that words lead to destiny?...”
“I’m not sure.”
“It would be more plausible to say it was the magic of fate rather than words.”
“....”
Ting-!
Asmodon flicked his seal.
“That’s why I gave it a name. The name of this seal. “It is the seal of fate.”
“Oh, that’s pretty good.”
“Wait a minute, but if words are servants of fate... does that mean that what I say to someone controls that person’s fate?”
“Not really. First of all, unless you are given overwhelming magical power, you cannot bring about such a phenomenon and only slightly fix your fate.”
“It’s difficult, it’s difficult.”
Sigh...
Asmodon explained with a smile.
“Still, what you have to be careful about is if you misuse the power of fate.”
“What kind of tillage is that?”
“If you use it on yourself.”
“... ah.”
“If you don’t believe in yourself and break down from within, your fate will get closer to you.”
“... Really?”
“I haven’t even done an experiment, but if all the previous hypotheses were correct, this one is also correct. Well, this one also needs massive magical power or something equivalent to it.”
Yuriko said excitedly.
“Has this revealed a clue to the roots of magic? “The magic...”
“... I won’t reveal it.”
“... uh?”
Asmodon shook his head at Yuriko’s words.
“Yuriko, don’t you know what it means that fate exists?”
“... ah!”
I can’t be sure.
However, if you know that even the shadow of fate definitely exists.
“Can people find meaning in their lives?”
“....”
“Yuriko.”
“Definitely... up to that point...”
“Haha... don’t take it too seriously. “Because my thoughts can always change.”
Yuriko stepped forward and said.
“This time I’ll show you what I discovered.”
“Am I so excited? Compared to what you discovered, my discovery is so huge that it must be overwhelming. Ha ha ha ha ha!”
Asmodon laughs humorously.
If Yuriko had been obsessed with an inferiority complex, she would not have been able to accept that smile comfortably.
However, since we were friends before we were mage, it was a joke worth laughing at.
And Yuriko was a genius comparable to Asmodon.
“This place is narrow, let’s go underground.”
“...is it that much?”
“Okay, Nier, follow me too. “I’ll show you something fun.”
“huh!”
Asmodon’s laboratory extended underground. And the underground laboratory had a high ceiling that was several times higher than the ground level, and the space was also vast.
Usually, risky experiments were conducted here.
Tuk.
A mysterious sphere placed on the floor.
“uh? That...”
“Yes, it’s something left behind by my father and Sir Berik.”
“... Did you interpret the research records?”
“The research records were a mess. “I approached it in a similar way, but I had a hard time finding a new answer because the technique was calculated incorrectly from the beginning.”
“What on earth did you find that makes you have such a long tongue...”
Pajik-!
It’s a joke!
Yuriko’s eyes burned with magic.
Even though he is human, he has tremendous magical power.
Whoa...
a sphere comes to mind.
Pajijijik...
Pajijijijik-!
“This is...”
Asmodon’s expression hardened.
Dangerous.
Cracking...
Gradually, the power emitted by the sphere grew.
“Stop it, Yuriko. “Who are you...”
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!”
I’m going to take a look at it!
The sphere opens.
Like the moon reflected in a lake, a haze is formed that heads somewhere.
“Haa... haa....”
“... tell me, Yuriko. What’s this?”
Yuriko spoke after catching her breath.
“It is the materialization of time.”
“... It’s a lie, right?”
“Time is everything in here.”
“....”
“Using this, I can touch and see time.”
“... I don’t understand.”
“I also evaluated the magic you showed me that way earlier.”
A bizarre incident committed by two genius magicians who appeared in the same era after the first magician, Ur.
Yuriko laughed.
“If you had a glimpse of fate.”
Sigh...
“I stole time.”
Fatalist and time thief.
The two were caught up in the anxiety and excitement that today’s simple demonstration would create something else.
* * *
Another thing that kills oneself.
I hesitate.
“... let me do it.”
This is the meaning of Yuriko.
“Everything happened because I became a mage.”
“... Is that so?”
“So I have to take responsibility.”
“... do not do that. “I will do my best.”
...
Yuriko and Asmodon 32 years old.
Ugh...
Yuriko’s personality was planted in a pre-made young life.
A seal shone on one cheek of the young life.
It is a seal of fate created by Asmodon.
He carved a new seal on the homunculus in addition to the one he had.
“Let’s say goodbye.”
“Shouldn’t we at least give it a name?”
“Um... Is that so?”
“okay. Baby, your name is... um... ah! “I remembered!”
“What?”
“What did we do this morning?”
“It snowed, right? I went outside. What else... ah....”
“What do you think? “It’s the perfect name, right?”
“... I see.”
Asmodon and Yuriko spoke together.
“From now on, your name is Snowman. Please take care of me!”
“I’ll take care of you!”
“Okay... are you ready?”
“send!”
Fajieeeeeeek-!
The homunculus rises and disappears into the maze.
Life goes somewhere through the gate of time.
A day has passed.
And a year has passed.
Yuriko and Asmodon 33 years old.
The two climbed the huge clock tower in the Kagon Council plaza.
Sometimes the two spent time here.
I came here whenever I felt frustrated.
All my anxiety disappeared due to the really nice scenery.
The sight of the developed magic empire chilled their hearts.
“It’s a failure.”
“... Well, there is no mage who succeeds in all research.”
“....”
“Yuriko?”
“You know, Asmodon. “I have strange dreams sometimes these days.”
“okay? dream?”
Yuriko tilted her head.
“Sometimes I dream of someone looking down on me.”
“It must be very unpleasant.”
“Ha... It must be because the research went wrong.”
“Should I squander all my research funds in one night and jump into the maze?”
“Arthur you’re going to die. “No, you will feel that it is better to die.”
“...is it that much?”
“It’s being torn into thousands, tens of thousands, or even more pieces. Only when everything about you dies within it will you meet true death...”
“Well, if it’s that complicated, let’s just die comfortably.”
Sigh
...
Yuriko, who was laughing brightly, suddenly grabbed her head.
“Uuuuuu....”
“Yuriko? what’s the matter?”
– Hasn’t the power of the Mutani family become too strong?
– I think I need some training.
– for a moment! There’s my horse there. Let’s postpone it until after my horse dies!
– ... Then it’s too late.
A solemn voice seeps into my head.
“Aaaah!”
Yuriko is foaming at the mouth and panting.
“Yuriko!”
Flutter...
Yuriko was about to fall down the railing.
Faaaaaaaaaaa!
Asmodon grabbed his arm.
“Yuriko! “Don’t let go!”
“Huh... Huh....”
Yuriko was hanging on the railing and holding Asmodon’s hand.
He said, looking at the sky beyond the clock tower.
“Who are you...”
“What are you talking about...”
Yuriko began to see it in her eyes.
An old man wearing a snowman mask is moving a piece that looks exactly like Yuriko on the game board.
The old man muttered.
– Don’t fall! Yuriko!
“Since when... since when...”
It took control of my life.
“Since when...”
Cause and effect are mixed in chaos.
The collapse of Kagon’s timeline.
The snowman survived.
A being that could not even be a human survived and became Yuriko’s god.
The snowman muttered.
– We have to run away quickly....
