Chapter Twenty-Seven: Absolute Beauty
Perspective – Grey
Following the direction indicated by Master, I came to this forest to look for the boy.
Although there was a huge earthquake in the middle of the way, I still came to the boy's place.
(That's ...... What the? )
And then I saw it.
In the Grand Magician's purse, [Monster].
Pure physical fear welled up in my throat.
“…… What's that? ”
In front of the magician, the sore boy leaning against the tree asked nonchalantly.
"The evil god of Cthulhu? Welfare tentacle monsters? Giant octopus? ”
It's like you don't see [that thing].
It's like not taking [that thing] into account.
It's like...... I knew [that thing] from the beginning.
But even so, he can't be a match for [that thing] right now.
(If you don't do something, something.) )
I can't even move a finger when I think about it.
It's not just trembling or cowering, it's paralyzing even the mental (heart) center. Knowing that if you act rashly and face the contents of your purse, you will definitely collapse this time, so you instinctively and spontaneously take defensive action.
"Oh, do you know what's in there?"
Aozaki Orange smiled happily from the bottom of her heart.
"It's no surprise. Originally, I just wanted to be intimidated by inspiration, but I didn't think that I would even be seen through or something...... Could it be that your spiritual sensibilities are unexpectedly weak? It's the opposite of that little grey girl. ”
“…… Why mention Grey? ”
"It's nothing, I just think you're kind of like her."
"Like?"
"Yes, but when you think about it, it's a little different—the essence...... Something like that. ”
"Gender should be preferred at this time."
I'm still frozen in the ground.
In fact, the bag was closed all the time. Orange didn't open the purse. It's just a matter of letting the contents [smell] a little.
(…… )
Powerless.
I am so powerless.
"What you should destroy is?"
- "You are a proud child." 」
- "Because you are more like a hero than anyone else."
The voice echoed in my head.
The voice of the hometown. The right people. Rejoicing in my change, simple parents and loved ones.
(…………………… Ahhhh )
Ahh
Just give yourself completely.
Anyway, I was created for this [gun]. Just wield it the way this gun is needed. You don't need to think about it from the start. There's no sense of escape from the beginning, so just accept it.
Just change.
Become an ancient hero who is not his current self.
Gray...... Rave (Loud) ...... Crave (crave) ...... Deprave (to fall) ......"
His lips hummed. Completely devour the surrounding Mana.
Whether it's a teenager or an orange, they all turn their heads this way.
"Yes."
Orange nodded slightly.
"Is this your secret?"
"Grave...... I ...... me"
He hung his head and groaned in his mouth. My consciousness is extinct. It was dying out a long time ago. So, it's not your own voice. It's different—the one that lurks deep inside oneself, another self.
Another monster made by his hometown.
Something trembled.
"Whew. Isn't that a little bit bad? [This guy] might be interested. ”
Orange carries a huge leather bag and smiles wryly. As if she was confessing that she couldn't even control what was inside, the bag trembled slightly.
Squeak.
The purse opened automatically. This time it's not a delusion, it's something that happened in reality.
"-I guess this area will be destroyed."
Orange muttered to herself.
Is it caused by the contents of the bag?
Or maybe it's.
"Grave...... foryou (for you) ......"
The mana began to spin.
Between one's own body and Yard, the cycle begins according to some kind of contract. The environment is constructed. Flesh and bone have been reborn by magic, and even the fantasy seed factor possessed by a certain heroic spirit in the past has been hypothetically constructed.
Orange's eyes glanced to the side.
"Hey, don't do anything superfluous."
"If it's redundant."
The boy bent his fingers at me as if he were holding something. Something formless and substantial appeared in her hand———— ahhhhhhhhhhh
The lips were open.
Said the words like an ominous curse.
"[Holy Spear, up-]"
"Blow up the storm and blow everything away. Shine in the Rhongomyniad!!!! ”
Consciousness is blown away.
The Thirteen Fangs, made up of storms, tore everything apart.

Perspective – Teenager
I slowly lowered the holy spear in my hand.
Glancing at the forest split in two, I muttered.
“…… It's going too far. ”
"You know."
Aozaki Orange beside him complained.
"The damage is minimized, but thanks to the weather in your area, it's going to be chaotic. And are you really a man? was so ruthless to blow such a lovely child so far. ”
"Less verbose. Besides, I have shown mercy to my subordinates, and if it is truly liberated, it will be me. Wielding the Tower of the World is a lot of waste. ”
Glancing at Grey hanging from a tree in the distance, I turned to look at the orange.
"How? Do you want to fight? ”
"Of course."
Seconds answer.
As if happier than before, Aozaki Orange pointed to my holy spear and said.
"It's the first time I've seen it, but it's not an object anymore, it's a mystery itself. The age should be more than a thousand years. It's not something that humans can wield, but it's enough to rival all modern magicians. ”
The mystical will succumb to the more powerful mystery.
Of course, there will be a big reversal according to the phase and the merits, but this principle is still valid. And in most cases, the mystery is made stronger by the ancient.
But. I said, staring at the orange.
"[Not including you], right?"
Orange's smile is even brighter.
I couldn't laugh at all.
It wasn't until I held the holy spear that I knew how terrifying this woman was.
I didn't know, but I understood. I didn't understand it, but I knew it.
This woman's connection to the magic base is too ideal.
In the same way that a certain program is judged by the beauty of the code, anyone who is involved in magic will feel like they are dreaming.
Her magical powers are not outstanding. It's not like some magicians, who are covered in terrifying costumes. However, the woman's slowly circulating magic is like a ring of Mebius.
Thinking of this, I looked around.
Trunks, branches, leaves, canopy. Earth, stones, earth, air. Unconsciously, the [space] with a radius of about tens of meters around it was already engraved with countless unknown characters.
Looking at these words, I couldn't help but say the words that came out of my head.
"Rune ......"
"I told you, I'm going to crush you with all my might."
The sound of oranges came to my ears.
I reflexively wanted to jump up regardless of my body. Even if it is already full of holes, the body that has crossed the common sense can jump out of here before most of the techniques are activated.
"Hmm——!"
The foot was caught.
I looked down and saw that the attacker, who had fainted, was clutching his ankle.
"I'm sorry. I'm the one who makes the most of everything. ”
The woman picked up a cigarette at some point and exhaled a faint white breath.
“…… Hey, it still tastes so bad. ”
Like the button of a bomb, Orange snaps his fingers.
"Farewell, the end of mystery. If there's a fate, see you next time—"
Moment.
Another voice rang out.
“…… Look at this man (Ecce _homo). ”
The body couldn't move again.
However, we all saw [her].
-----------------
This is a three-person technique.
In the center of the Trinity, there is a girl with a magic eye.
"Leenys. Lock on to MONOCULUS. ”
With the teacher's voice, the girl's consciousness began to retract the technique. The clock tower believes that her magic eye heats up rapidly due to the immaturity of the brain and magic circuits. That is, the brain and magic circuits are unable to keep up with the processing speed of the MONOCULUS, causing an overreaction.
Now, though, it's a blessing in disguise.
Because of that excess reaction, her magic tricks can be said to be few in terms of precision.
With each touch of the tailor Islo, [the man's] dress was reconstructed.
Each time Yakushi Mai Ao chanted, the blood concentration and neurotransmitters of various active ingredients were adjusted from the inside of [that person] to make it reborn.
Then, at the moment that was most suitable for [that person], the girl activated the technique and shouted.
-----------------
Perspective – I
“…… Look at this man (Ecce_homo). ”
- Time has stopped.
The coordinates lose their meaning.
All space-time continuums seem to have lost their original intimacy.
Not only our consciousness present, but also the small animals and insects of the forest, nay, even the inanimate clods of earth and water droplets are affected by this essence. If evolution is about adapting to the environment, then this is the end point of the shapes and numbers that could make the world extinct.
■This word does not come to mind.
Because we know that the incomplete language used by human beings is nothing before that existence. It is said that there was once a magician who was designated by the seal to learn that there was no fallacy, and that even the boundaries between living and non-living things were broken, and that she spoke a unified language to the world (Master_of_Babel), and her ■ also reached the realm of connection with the roots.
The golden hime, who was supposed to die, stood in the middle of the forest.
