"Man's life begins at birth and ends at death. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

In the chaos of the eternal night, familiar voices echoed in the boy's ears, as if the words had been repeated an infinite number of times since he was born, nay, before he existed.

"All living beings, plants, trees, earth, and rocks in the world, including human beings, all originated from ...... It will also return to the ......"

The gentle voice is engraved in the deepest part of the memory, but there is always a blur. Troy, whose mind was silent in the endless abyss, struggled to open his eyes, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't.

The boy wanted to know what was forgotten in his words more than he opened his eyes.

“...... In the beginning, there was no strife in our world, it was a quiet and peaceful ...... But...... The world has changed, and now we are in the middle of a war. ”

There were more and more hazy places, and the darkness in front of him became heavier and heavier, but Troy felt that his thinking was suddenly enlightened, and many dusty memories began to slowly awaken.

“...... After much bloodshed, our great ancestors finally discovered the secrets of the world and found a way to put the war to rest once and for all. ”

To quell the war, content like this seems to be the ambition of "association", but what does this have to do with itself?

Troy was once again puzzled.

Because of the magic that appeared on his body inexplicably, he seemed to be "taken aby" by the organization known as the association and became a member of them. The boy himself didn't have any opinion on this, and this kind of thing was all right.

Living as a woodcutter, seeing the same people every day, doing the same things, and walking on the same land, this kind of life is no different from being a member of the "strange" team, doing things that you don't understand at all, and going to unknown lands.

The difference is only in "magic" and "magic".

Troy was sure he wanted to know more.

“...... There is only one way to make the intricacies of disputes and warfare in the 'land of war' disappear completely, and that is to eliminate ...... Bringing all humanity back to ...... of the embrace!"

The lingering high-spirited words in my ears continued, but as before, the key points were still completely inaudible, as if someone had deliberately erased them.

"Troy. ”

The boy suddenly heard his name.

......

......

......

"You're calling me. ”

When he opened his eyes, he opened his mouth, and Troy, who had awakened from the dream-like world, suddenly got up, only to find that the world around him had changed from pitch black to blinding white.

There was only white between heaven and earth, and this was still not the "real world" he knew.

"I have an impression of your voice. Subconsciously turning his head, it was better to say that there was a force in his body that drove him to do so, and indifferently, Troy pointed his flat gaze at the only difference in the white and flawless world.

"You are, Lance. ”

"That's right, it's me. ”

Rusi's gentle voice appeared with a quiet smile on Shaohua's face that could not be concealed by the wind and frost, and the figure sitting comfortably not far away was dressed in an elegant blue and white robe, it was the leader of the association team who had long since died, but before he died, he "injected" the magic power of his whole body into Troy's body, Lance.

His smile was the same as it was then.

But the teenager's focus was not on him at all.

This space is very "strange", not only strange, but also "unbelievable" and contrary to "common sense". His body didn't feel any touch, and he quickly shifted his attention from Lance to the space around him, and after looking around, the boy came to an even more bizarre conclusion.

"Are we in the air?"

The front is white, the back is also the back, the top and the bottom are also the same, and now it feels a bit like sitting in a new magic carriage on the way to the pirate camp, and the body is a little fluttery and you can feel the presence of "magic" at the same time.

"I don't know why you came to such a conclusion, but my answer is, 'No'. With his legs crossed, his left arm resting on his leg, his broad palms supporting his chin, and his body leaning forward slightly, the squad leader rarely showed such a slack posture.

His voice was as clear and thick as ever, very relatable, but always unashamed.

Of course, Troy doesn't feel that way.

"It's been a long time, Troy, and it's so glad you remember me. The frowning look flickered, and the smile became slightly larger, as if he was chatting with the boy like an old friend, "How are you doing lately? Compared to the village where you have lived for sixteen years, how is the outside world?

After a pause, a little worry appeared in his eyes.

"No answer, I know your answer is also 'no'. Alas, I can understand all your feelings, and the 'change' you produce comes from me...... Sorry for affecting you. ”

A long sigh was accompanied by words that could not be easily understood, and then, the boy's reply surprised the somewhat sad Lance.

"Long time no see, Lance. I don't understand that I'm sorry or something. He said "long time no see" in the other person's appearance, and the next speech of the young man, who has never lied, was the reason for the surprise of Lance, who "thought" knew the truth.

"I want to say hello to you, thanks. Thank you. ”

The boy stood up awkwardly, then immediately bent down and bowed deeply to the somewhat bewildered man.

- Thank you.

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have known that there were such magical things as 'magic' and 'magic' in the world. ”

There was no change in the slightest change on his simple face, this was his sincere words.

"Thank you? Thank you, you really like magic...... I see. The surprise on Lance's face disappeared, and he suddenly realized that he responded bluntly to the young man, "There is no need to thank you, if you have to say it, thank 'fate'." ”

――However, possessing "magic" and mastering "magic" is not necessarily a "good thing", and I believe you will understand it later.

Lance didn't say such a heartfelt thing.

"Destiny...... I don't understand what it is. ”

In the face of Lance's emotional speech, the boy raised his doubts as always.

"Troy. ”

Suddenly, Troy, who was waiting for a response from the other party, heard his name again in a trance, and this time, with some concern, the voice that called out these three words seemed to be ...... Willa?

"It's time for you to go back. ”

He knew better than anyone else what was going on with the young man at this moment, and Lance's smile never faded, but his reopening carried such an indescribable sadness.

Separation is always sad.

But this is not a "difference".

“...... Goodbye?"

"Goodbye. ”

A smile was given to the confused teenager in response, and before the words could be spoken, Troy's figure had disappeared in this monotonous world of only one color.

Once again, Lance was the only one left.

"You like magic...... Is it because my eyes are wrong, maybe you do have an incalculable 'talent'. Reassing the leisurely posture of holding his chin with one hand, Lance's bright eyes were full of solemnity, "Goodbye? I wish I would never see you again." ”

Why did he make such a statement?

Then again, why did the long-dead Lance appear here, and what was this white world?

The empty space suddenly became quiet.

“...... Who is that voice? And if his words are true...... No, it's just a joke, isn't it? How is that possible?"

The silence lasted only for a moment, and the team leader who whispered to himself pondered, but only showed a wry smile.

"It's impossible to completely eliminate the differences between people, right?"

- If this is the answer you are seeking, then ......

......
