"Eh!? Premium vs. Mage!?
Such a small child is a superior anti-magician!? More than that, six years? So you're two years older than me!? You're such a little girl!?
"Now... why do you think this Lori is a superior vs. magician?
"No, there is no disillusionment!
"Hmm, that's fine, I can't help it..."
"No, I like it. I think it's very cute."
"Eh... Lolicon!?
"Hey, that perception is misleading!
"That's a lie. So, why is Julia here?
"No, I was just taking a walk, and the girl was attacked, so I needed help...."
"There's something nice about it. That said, if I was dealing with them, they'd be bumpy."
"Ahahah...."
I can do it. I understood Ella's character in such a short time. [M] Running free, she was the right person for the words.
"Still, why are you talking about me?
"Oh, I heard from Gil and Claudia. There's a monster who's been here for two years at dusk."
"Hahaha... are you a monster? It's not such a big deal...."
"You have time, don't you?
"Well... yes. Until the night party."
"I'll take that, too, just fine. Follow me."
"Where are you going?
"My favorite cafe. I'll buy you something."
"Thank you, Senpai Eira."
"... senpai?
Senpai Eira turned to me. [M] Did I say something weird?
"Did you just say... senpai?
"Yes, I'm a fourth grader... and I'm a senpai from a different city, right?
"You... alright! Very good! I love it, I'll take care of Julia!
"Hmm!? What's the matter, suddenly!
"Because I look like this, I'm often fooled... that's why I'm sensitive to people's gaze. Oh, I know he's making a fool of me. But you're sending a respectful gaze, and you're behaving well! You call me Senpai, and I'm good!!
"Hah... is that so?"
Somehow they liked me. But I'm also going to be a Premium vs. Mage. It would be very nice to have a good friend. I don't want strange clashes in relationships.
"Well, let's go!
"I understand."
And I followed after Senpai Ella, who was going to skip so lightly.
◇
"So, is it true you've been here for two years at dusk?
"It's true. It was a lot of work."
Then we came to the nearby cafe and talked a lot. It's not that she doesn't believe me, but that she wanted to know a lot about dusk as a pure interest.
"Heh... that's amazing. I can't believe I crossed the continent in a year."
"... when I realized my directional tone obsession..."
"So, it took me another year to come back."
"I got a lot of support in Auga Village this time, but I got even more confused that the map wasn't accurate... and it took me another year to cross over... hey, that was tough..."
"And you have one, don't you?
"Twilight syndrome?
"Yeah. I'm here."
That's what Ella said. She took off the button on her chest and showed it to me.
"Hey!? It's public!
"I don't mind. I'm not showing you everything. Look at that."
I didn't care about her little chest... I didn't care at all... yes, I didn't care... I saw the engraving on her chest.
"... level 5?
"And Julia, right?
"I'm here."
And when I turn my arm, I'll show you the engraving on my arm again.
"Wow... how far does that go?
"It's even on my shoulders."
"Isn't that over level 5?
"Perhaps, and Princess Lianne seemed to see me, but I seem to be completely integrated with dusk."
"I see... that's what I mean. She hasn't been in Date for two years. Rather, did you meet Lianne?
"Yes, I was escorted from the Seventh Frontier City. Still, is Senpai Eira close? With Princess Lianne."
"Hmm? Ah... I'm familiar with it. My house is a little noble."
"Are you a nobleman... speaking of which, you're in the number one city?"
"These guys don't have much time. Really, stupid. All the garbage that only takes pride in their own blood...."
I threw up like it was easy to get rid of.
The First Frontier City is a special place where not only royalty but also nobility exist. There shouldn't have been so many, but it was obvious that the format was higher than normal humans.
Afterwards, I decided to dissolve after talking about the lack of other love.
Well, shall we go now?
"Yes"
"Well, I'll change at home once. See you again, Julia."
Then I walked back to the inn. It was just getting dark and I was walking in a less popular spot for a shortcut. Crime by anti-magicians is not zero in border cities, so there are quite a few crime prevention measures. For example, if a magic sensing technique is in place, or if it is sensed, it will be reported... However, it is not in the whole area, and there is still a blind spot. This place is just the blind spot. I had a slight hunch, but I kept going. [M]
That arrow tip... suddenly I felt my fist swinging from behind.
"... Shit, is Temee really Julia?
"Dan... why?"
I had a hunch. Dan was there. I'm sure it came from somewhere.
"The woman I was with... that's Ella, the Premium Versus Mage, right? It's characteristic, so I knew right away. So, you... how did you sell the aphrodisiac?
"... nothing. It was just a coincidence."
"That's a lie. I'm sure you've improved your physical skills a little bit, but there's no way you can be a Premium vs. Magus."
"... let's stop now, Dan. I'm not who I was... I want you to stop."
"Temee... do you think you can look down on me like that?
……
I don't want to look down. It was just sad. He remains unchanged. It stays the same forever. But maybe it's the same for me. Only that combat skill changed us. [M] Dan got stronger and I got stronger.
But I'm sure I'm stronger... than Dan. That was obvious when we looked at the current attack.
"Yulia! Don't look at me like that!!
Dan pulls out the broadsword on his hips and shakes it on me. But it's too late, Dan... it's too late. At that speed, we can't survive in the middle of the night. At best, it's a little more than the safety zone.
Dan's attack, which was completely emotional, was too monotonous. You don't have to use your abilities for this.
"... huh!!?
I grasp the sword with my fingertips, twist his wrist and knock it down on the spot.
"Dan, this is real... please don't do this anymore"
"No kidding, no kidding, no kidding!! You think Julia's stronger than me? That's not happeningeeeee!!
Now magic. And when I looked behind me, there was Rebecca and Aria. They are trying to pay for their surroundings and even support Dan's magic.
Why are you guys like that... why!!
"... it's over now"
I activated Twilight Site at dusk. And when you perceive a magic element, use Invisible to interrupt it and activate it. Then the magic elements that were there disappeared. At the same time, the boundary disappears completely.
The three of them had a backlash with their magic erased, and they had buttocks on the spot.
"Leave me alone....."
That's the last thing I said, and I left.
And he was definitely looking at me with his eyes so close to killing people. Still... I escaped. I didn't know what to do at a time like this... So I ran away. I don't want to be involved anymore. When I look at them, I don't like remembering my old selves. I was thinking of taking legal action, but I was lost. [M] In the first place, the only evidence is my testimony, and if you tell me a lie, that's it. [M] Some people believe that I was really in the dusk, but that's just situational evidence.
It's only in my memory that I was there at dusk.
And even if you think about it, you might need to face Dan and the others someday. I don't suppose this is how we can meet again here and end this way...
I'm sure it's fate. That's why I needed to separate myself from the past... that's what I felt.
