Volume 2
Chapter 47-Last Farewell and Last Wishes
(TL:By Rafael)
The light of twilight overflowed from the crack that had turned into a fissure.
My skin, bathed in that light, feels the residue of the heart of the one who became "one gold."
"......!"
It was lamentation.
An unvoiced grief that denied everything.
It was contrition.
It was a whirlwind of remorse and blame for the irrevocable.
It was an escape.
The spell of the future in the name of eternity made him choose nothing but despair.
"What are you doing ......? Don't be reckless."(Yuki)
"No, this is all right."(Loge)
I responded to the slightly surprised Loge by shaking my head.
That magic formula was very well made, but it had become complicated.
The essence of magic is "what kind of event it causes."
After all, the magic formula for "fulfillment" is to draw power from the "one gold" and divert it.
It is a way to loosen the tight grip of the magic formula a little and extract the "power to interfere with the outside world.
But this time, it is not enough.
Even if "Glad Si-Im" disappeared as wished, "one gold" might stay in our world,...... "culling" might remain.
...... that's not the way it should be.
If I am to be a "brave" person, I must fulfill my duty.
It is also the starting point of this "culling".
I accelerate the magic formula while staring at the "one gold" that is creaking and cracking.
"What in the world is this ......?"(Loge)
The dusk-colored magic power overflows, and Loge shows an expression that has never been seen before.
"Now, here, I'm going to shatter the "One Gold"! Now, there is enough magic power for two worlds!"(Yuki)
"Master Yuki, ......."(Loge)
Loge, who seems to have guessed my intention, looks at me with wide eyes and then at Nibelung, who is in a trance.
Wish.
You can wish for more.
Me and Lun have our hands full with control.
Only you, the new king, can speak of direction, of 'wishes.
"I have only one more wish."(Loge)
"Yes, I know."(Yuki)
Yes, I know.
I know the wish that Biblion the Memory Fairy showed me in his distant memory, the wish that the great wizard had spoken.
A small ego promised in the midst of all being consumed by despair.
A single betrayal that was built into the magic formula.
The corner of his mouth turns up in a small smile, and he opens it again.
"The release of the "Golden Maiden" and the true happiness of the Nibelung - this is my wish. This is my wish and my brother's wish. The nostalgic and beautiful Freia's wish..."(Loge)
Loge touches his forehead to the "One Gold".
In response to the magnitude of the wish, the light of the dusk increases and the cracks in it grows.
It is the release of the power within, and at the same time, it is the moment that the "one gold" has been waiting for.
"Goodbye, Simon."(Yuki)
The moment he uttered those words, the "One Golden" shattered into pieces.
The light of twilight spread out, turning everything red.
It was the moment when the last moment came for a man who, after eternal suffering and despair, became the shunned "Shayo".
"...... have you done it?"(Loge)
The color drained from the crumpled body of Loge.
Not only him, but also the vivid king's chamber, the cityscape peeking through the window, ...... everything in "Glad Shi-Im" is drained of color and eventually turns white and transparent.
"The world is disappearing......"(Yuki)
I gulp at the sight for the first time.
The world is transparent, and beyond that, there is darkness without a single light.
Ah, I see.
The "Glad Shi-Im" that forced its way into the world is returning to its original form.
The "colorless darkness" is what they used to call it.
"This time we will say our final goodbye. Master Yuki."(Loge)
"You could have wished for your own happiness."(Yuki)
"My happiness is long past, and now it is in my heart."(Loge)
The woman named Freia, whom Loge had mentioned, was his sister.
And it is also the name of the wife of the magician who created the "fulfillment" and the name of the mother of ...... Nibelung.
They wanted not the peace of all the people of the kingdom, but the happiness of a single girl.
And I was entrusted that day by her father, the wizard man.
"Take care of Lun, my apprentice who shall remain nameless."(??)
I don't remember becoming his apprentice, but he poured some magic into my head along with the "fulfillment".
I could not refuse if I was paid in advance.
How dare he do this to an adventurer?
"Uncle Lo isn't coming?"(Lun)
"I'll leave you to do it. Nibelung, live. Live a lot, have a lot of fun, and learn a lot. I have put in as much "wishing" as I can do to make that happen. Whatever distortion it was, my prayer, my wish was ...... fulfilled..."(Loge)
The roguet lost its color and melted into the landscape.
The hand softly touched Lun's cheek for the last time, and then disappeared.
"......gusu."
"Lun. Let's go home."(Yuki)
"Can I go home? Lun is from another place."(Lun)
"I don't care. I'm an adventurer and I'm obligated to complete ...... what your father and uncle have asked me to do."(Yuki)
I hold out my hand and Lun grabs it.
"Come on, let's go. I'm sure they're all worried about you." (Yuki)
"Are they?"(Lun)
"Yeah, they are. I'll have Marina make pancakes for us when we get back. I'm starving."(Yuki)
Lun, who still has tears in her eyes, gives a small smile at my words.
All of us may have overworked her, but I'm sure she knows exactly what she's been entrusted with.
"Now all that remains is ...... to figure out how to get back here."(Yuki)
I look out at the completely clear darkness and sigh a small sigh.
Author's words-To add to some of the detailed backstory.
After that event, Simon figured out how to die in a fit of insanity.
Since he could not die physically, he instinctively began to separate and dilute his body and spirit.
As a result, he swallowed the entire twilight world left behind as himself. This was the beginning of the culling process.
Simon's body was supposed to condense and disappear with the disappearance of the dimension, but the curse of immortality caused it to expand and contract over and over again to an unnerving degree, until it finally flowed into another dimension as an individual with the energy of a whole world (crystallization).
By this time, it had no consciousness as a human being, but existed as a distorted energy body, and it tried to amplify and dilute the negative emotions of the creatures around it at will (the theory being that the more people suffering, the closer to flatness it would be).
The system of reading wishes and altering events when contaminating people's minds was created, and this is what has spread in this world.
It's a backstory, so you can forget about it.
To put it briefly, it's just that Simon has done it again. ......
