"Takumi isn't getting any stronger at all.
I think White in me muttered that.
I can't believe it, so I sneakily check to make sure no one else can hear.
It sounded like he wasn't getting any stronger at all, but it's just my imagination, right?
'No, it's not my imagination, Kana. Takumi is totally ......'
Stop, all right. You don't have to say it again.
I managed to keep my composure as I tried to keep my heart from faltering.
I'm going to get some night wind. Do you mind if Sasha takes care of dinner tonight?
'Yeah, yeah, I get it. You look a little pale, are you okay?
Yeah, I'm fine. No problem.
It's not all right, though.
''I'm sure you'll be testing White's mighty power. You're able to go out there by yourself without involving us, aren't you?
I don't even have the energy to tell Leia that she's well aware of what's going on.
With my back to everyone, I waved my hand and walked out of the cave.
Yes, I was longing to be a little stronger.
Even though I was the weakest f*cking fish, I knew that if I absorbed the overwhelming power of White, I would be able to become somewhat stronger.
I'm sure you're exaggerating to say that it's not at all like this. The truth is, you're at least a little stronger than that, aren't you?
'No, really, it hasn't changed at all.
How did you get your hair white?
"Yeah, it's just that my hair turned white.
Mute.
Just looking at the night sky for the fact that it was so heartless.
The full moon was so beautiful.
...... Who the hell am I?
After a while, he finally asks.
'I don't know what that is, either.'
Who am I really, who am I to be told that White, the transcendent being, doesn't understand?
'But I also found out when I entered Takumi, Al. Takumi doesn't have the vessel that everyone else has.''
Vessel? What's that?
"A vessel that every man, or woman, should have, but Takumi's vessel is broken. But Takumi's vessel is broken.
'Is it broken? Am I defective?
Being an adventurer, no matter how much I trained, I never got stronger.
I always felt that my strength was running to a different place because I didn't have the vessel to receive it.
I thought that Takumi's vessel was broken and didn't exist until I got inside. You can't keep any small amount of power in your vessel and can accept any large amount of power from others. Then where does this power go? The answer is right here.
'What? Where?
"You've got your bowl, Takumi. It's in here. But it's not a vessel anymore. The broken vessel has spread out to infinity.
I can hardly understand what White is saying.
Is the broken vessel in me too big?
"A man's vessel is small. At best, it's about a glass of water. 'A little bit of water, called "power", and it will fill up in no time. But if you tilt it, it will soon spill over and you will be able to use it.''
'Isn't my bowl broken and spilling water?'
No. The vessel is just too big to see. It's so much bigger than this world. Yes, it is. It's like the universe in this sky. You could think of them all as Takumi's vessels. Then you wouldn't know where the water you put in it went, would you?
I can't even nod my head at the grand scale.
''Even Watashi's power is like dust in there. Regardless of how you struggle, you will never be able to reach the surface as Takumi's power.
"...... What the hell is this all about? Why do I have a vessel like that?
"You said you didn't understand. It is called the Holy Grail, a vessel that does not exist in this world, and no one else can have it.
The Holy Grail?
What's with the exaggerated name?
Hey, why do I have that thing?
I don't know. The fact that it exists is impossible. The truth of this world will be overturned at the core.
Oh, yeah? Is that so great?
At the moment, I can only imagine that it's just a big container that can't be used to take a lot of power and use it.
There's only one disadvantage to this, isn't there? What in the world is the point of this?
It's not true. In fact, right now, my power is completely sealed and I can't get it out. It's the same thing as being sealed up. I suppose it's possible to seal that thing inside Alice.
But you can't beat them, can you?
"Surely, all you can do is seal it.
You still have to defeat it to seal it, don't you?
Then I'd rather be a normal, strong guy than this Holy Grail.
Who in the world gave me this power?
An ability that even White, who was playing this world as a game, doesn't grasp.
I'm not sure how to handle such a thing.
I'm not going to be the only one who can do that. ...... Well, don't say that. It's the vessel we hoped for and never got. The time will come when you will understand. Takumi, you're probably the ...... of this world.
I couldn't believe what White said that followed.
I didn't know what to say, and after a few moments of silence, I finally answered.
'I don't know, probably not.'
I couldn't say the usual lines.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
