Perspective – Grey

In the box in my hand (Yad), there is a certain treasure sealed.

Rhongomyniad.

The secret treasure once wielded by King Arthur also has a special meaning in the clock tower. That's why Master told me from the very beginning not to say the name except when I use it.

"And my lineage...... People who have been making things that can use the contents of this box. ”

That's the similarity.

It was decided from the beginning and what it was for. Just like the golden and silver hime were born for beauty, it has already been decided that I will be like this. Moreover, more than anyone else, [success].

"Imitate the real owner of the things in this box back then...... It has been creating a lot of people......"

It's like a magician's house that creates the ultimate beauty.

My family firmly believes that if we can create a human that is extremely similar to our former owner, not only the face, limbs, and muscles, but also the internal organs and blood vessels, I will be able to use the treasures sealed in the box. Of course, because many of the mystical elements held by that hero have been lost in modern times, complete imitation should be impossible. But if you can at least imitate the part of your birth as a human being, then you should be able to catch a ray of light, my ancestors believed.

What kind of madness is enduring hundreds or even thousands of years of failure? At the end of the absolute observance of the curse, what have the rulers of the past generations seen?

"It was only 10 years ago that there was substantial progress. ”

Ten years ago.

No one knows why.

When I was young, my face changed dramatically with that day as the dividing line.

Although it still retains its original shadow, although it is still very similar, my face does become someone else's face little by little. Not only the face, but also the voice of the body itself as a result of the change actually reached my ears. I could hear the pain that was completely different from growing pains, making flesh and bones creak and change them into different forms.

How many nights have I spent holding my pillow in bed and enduring the pain?

The family members who surrounded me saw my changing face as a supreme sublime thing, and they rejoiced and even shed tears, but when did I start to know what kind of expression to use in front of them?

“…… It was around that time that I started to be able to talk to Yard. ”

It seems to be a matter of fitness.

I heard that because the adaptation rate of the owner of the secret treasure and me exceeded the prescribed value, the simulated personality of Yard, who was almost dormant as a sealing dress, was clearly awakened. In any case, there is no doubt that this box has become one of the few people I can talk to.

“…… I see. ”

Miss Rhaenys nodded slightly.

However, what I want to say is not finished.

I suppressed my self-loathing and said the key.

“…… There is no mirror in Jin Jinji's room, right? ”

When she accompanied Rhaenys on her investigation, she couldn't find any reason for the lack of what was supposed to be a natural object in the woman's room. I didn't say anything at the time. Because the absence of mirrors seems to me to be too much of a matter of course.

So, I put my hood on again and said desperately.

"I ...... Very scared. ”

The voice trembled uncontrollably.

The fingers used to pull up the hood are now as cold as ice.

“…… Afraid...... The face in the mirror is ...... Yourself in ...... Change ......"

Why.

I confessed unreservedly in front of these people. What you couldn't do in your hometown is so easy now. It felt like spitting a sharp stone out of my throat, but it couldn't compare to the horror I had tasted in my hometown.

"Even now...... I'm also scared to see ...... mirror. Feel like ...... It should have been a long time dead...... The undead of the hero occupies the body as ......"

“…… Ahh Needless to say. ”

With this sound, I felt soft fingers touch my cheek.

That's when I realized I was crying. With a helpless face, the Master took out his handkerchief to wipe away the tears he had just wiped away with his index finger.

Then he took out the cigar as if he had nothing to do.

"Change...... ? It might be scary. ”

The moistened field of vision was obscured by the smoke of the cigar, allowing me to see Master's face clearly.

The rain hit the ground.

"- I see, is it the other way around? ”

He picked up his cigar again and muttered to himself.

I couldn't help but let out a puzzled voice.

But Master just looked up at the black clouds and then covered his face with one hand.

“…… If that's the case, the worst will happen. ”

He muttered.

I could hear his teeth creaking.

Then Master turned his head like that, not at Rhaenys, but at me.

"Grey. ”

"In, in. ”

"I hope you can do me a favor. ”

Perspective – I

The so-called precursors or volts and the like just exist in the story, and what happens in reality is always unexpectedly abrupt and not a little coherent and amazing.

“…… Hey, hey. ”

Abruptly, it appeared.

The corner where the man stood, as if he had been cut out of the world, was as calm as ever.

"I said you, are you using too much exaggerated things?"

The woman said with a smile as if she was a little troubled.

Probably because of the gloomy surroundings. The woman's hair is a dull crimson color. No, maybe that's her original color - from beginning to end, inside and out. This person will be bound by this color for the rest of his life. Of course, this is something that must never be spoken.

That's when I noticed that she wasn't wearing glasses now. The woman stared at this side with a refreshing face.

"I see, by touching the ground with a part of the limb, I have the right to control the things around me that are [connected] to the whole ground. It's useless in the grasslands and flats, but it's incredibly powerful in the forests and cities, if you don't move. ”

The woman's feet suddenly moved.

Her heel carved a certain text into the wet ground.

"Oops......!"

Before the words could be spoken, his body was shaken away. Consciousness blurred in an instant, and the surrounding environment changed back to its original appearance. The attacker, who had been strangled by the branches, also fell heavily to the ground.

"It's a little similar to the one in Araya. Although each has its advantages, if the disadvantages are the same, you are far behind. ”

"Ahem!ahem!!"

I couldn't help coughing up blood.

"Is it already the limit? ”

The woman, Aozaki Orange, said to me as if she admired it.

"—It's amazing, it's a miracle that that body can still move. I can't do such a thing in such a situation, and I can't even do it after that blow. Ahhhh......h Really, lost and lost. I didn't expect that person to actually make it. ”

As if reminiscing about the past, the orange looking into the distance muttered.

"What ......?"

"Can you still speak. Logical thinking is still alive - is it still a little slow to think [like humans]? I see, the "direction" has changed. Casting from Perfect to Incomplete is both the cause of your failure and the proof of your success. ”

“…………”

"Now, you know what? In the clock tower, special sorcerers are given the title of color. Among them, the three colors that are primary colors are the best proof of the times...... I ask you, will the Aozaki orange who won the Grand position, that is, me, get pure blue?"

“…………”

Hearing this, I looked at the hair of the person in front of me.

It's not pure, but it's also a striking color.

- Dull red.

- Painful red.

"Probably...... Absolutely not. ”

I candidly put my heart in the air.

"Although I don't know why you ask this question, and I don't know how much it means to you. However, I can be sure that the color (color) of Aozaki oranges, by no means blue. ”

“…………”

"What does blue represent? Tranquility. Deep. Faraway. Chilly. Have the blues. Gentle. Passive. Dream. Intrinsic. Wisdom. Wisdom. Tolerance. Love - I don't know how you understand this color. But my understanding is that blue represents 'eternity'. ”

“………………”

"Eternity, eternity. What a terrible word - from the very beginning it is "complete", it can never be changed, and it is "final" in life. Do you think this is really a color that humans can control?"

There is no beginning, only an end.

There is no initial, only the end.

INTERVIEWER Are the people who have this color really human?

"Will the individual named Aozaki Orange really 'complete (unchanged)'?"

“……………………………………………………”

In response to the boy, there was a long, long silence.

And then.

"You're really, really, [successful]. ”

So, said.

"I thought it was just a puppet of a zombie self, but I didn't expect it to grow to such a point, I really underestimated him. I wanted to laugh at the "chasing the worst dead", but now it seems like I'm the big joke. Huh-huh...... Hahahaha!!"

"That...... What the hell are you talking about?"

"It's simple!!"

The laughing woman, Grand magician Takako Aosaki, gave me a hideous smile.

"To show the utmost respect to that person. I will do my best to crush you and crush you with all my magic!"

At some point, a leather bag appeared on her right hand.

This strange leather bag was a little too large for travel, and through its slightly open slits, only pitch black could be seen. I couldn't even see with my eyes, it was like the darkness with a body was contained inside.

Of them, there were two.

In the purse, shining,

- Two, eyes.
