Three days later. I was in senpai's ward. I haven't done anything in the last three days. I was just stunned. Days spent appropriately in military quarters. I was given time in the form of vacation, but it still didn't settle down. On the contrary, I spent a lot of time thinking about myself.

Information that came into such an arrow. That means Senpai and Shelly woke up.

I came to see you first. [M] It doesn't make any sense, but I thought I needed to talk to you a lot earlier.

Oh, it's not Julia.

"Thank you... senpai"

When I knocked in, there was a senpai there. She wakes up from her bed and the wind coming in from the outside sweeps her silky hair away. Senpai basically tied his hair to the twin tail, but now his hair is completely falling. It looked very fantastic when combined with the light of dusk.

Beautiful.

I thought so purely.

Julia, sit down.

"Yes"

I take the nearby chair to my senpai's bed and sit on it. [M]

"Senpai..."

"I heard. Because Bell taught me everything. I knew you were right about that..."

"Yes...."

I didn't know what to answer. One day, such a day will come. I knew the day would come to discuss our existence with Senpai and Shelley. For the past three days, I've been thinking not only about myself, but about them as well.

Me, Senpai, Shelly. These three are not perfect people. I have a beautiful split between human and Magus. [M] And Senpai and Shelley seem to be embedded with a Twilight factor at dusk. Although the body is not transformed into a Magus, it is difficult to describe as a normal person.

What will happen to the treatment? They may not be disposed of, but they may be subject to observation or imprisonment. But now more than that, how do I feel about myself? [M] That's what I wanted to hear. That's why I'm here.

"Hey, Julia. When I first met you... I thought I missed you."

"... do you miss it?

"Yes, I didn't meet her anywhere, I don't know her face, I don't know her voice. But there was a feeling of pre-vision somewhere. But that's also true. Because I'm the same as Julia. You must have thought so instinctively. Ever since I met you in that alley... I'm sure this encounter was inevitable. And I became a Premium vs. Magician, and Julia became a Premium vs. Magician. I think it was part of Cyrus Claudia's scheme... but we were destined to get there from this innate ability... and I can't help it."

"... that's right."

Yes. Our destiny was determined. from the moment it was artificially created.

No matter what the circumstances, it was designed to become a superior versus magician. No, not exactly a Premium vs. Mage. It exists to protect this human race and destroy the demons. That's us. That's the only reason I was born.

"... wasn't senpai shocked?

"Shock?"

"Yes, I had a lot to think about...."

"That's right...."

Take your hand to your mouth. Though he seemed to be thinking, Senpai immediately gave an answer.

"Sure, shock is shock. But you might be right to say that I fell into my heart a lot... Your ability to suddenly wake up to a look that is not similar to your family. Twilight Syndrome, which continues to erode. Maybe the feeling of refreshing is bigger, knowing all the reasons clearly."

"Haha, senpai is strong."

Really?

"Yeah. Very, very strong."

"... what about Julia?

Huh?

"I heard. You killed your twin sister... didn't you?

I'm confused. I'm not sure I should say. Claire's case is still at an end. She was me and I was her. That's the only difference between standing on the human side and standing on the Magus side. I was wondering what to think about my sister and what to say... but I thought I could talk to you.

"... yes. Her name is Claire. I look like two melons. [M] Perhaps you won't be able to tell if you stand next door. It was like an identical twin."

"... is that okay? Fighting again means killing my sister."

"I'm ready. And we twins are probably parallel lines until we kill one of them. She was completely stained with the magic side, and the idea was full of joy of killing. It's almost impossible to define this as a human being. And so am I. Because I'm not human, I'll... settle with her myself."

"Can you kill him?

"I'll kill you. Not only my sister, but two traitors, as well as other demons and demons, will be killed from now on. I will not forgive you if you stand in the way of mankind."

"Yes... Yulia has grown up again."

"No, I don't...."

I... am still immature. [M] I'm just doing it because I have to do it in a situation. It may seem that way objectively. Besides, after I was completely awake, I felt that the feelings of joy and sorrow that I had ever experienced had become thin. Increased ability to sharpen and compensate for emotions. I wonder where we are going. [M]

No one knows where we are. [M] Because we don't know, we have to move on.

"... fufufu"

"What's wrong?

"No, I was wondering. Speaking of which, did you go to Shelly's?

We're going to do it now.

"Hmm. Hey, Julia... will you listen to me for a second?

"? Okay."

I wondered if I needed to listen in the hospital room where there were only two people, but I would listen to what I had to say for now. I have no reason to refuse.

Words didn't enter my ear. [M] Instead, it feels raw and warm in its own cheeks.

"... huh!?

"Fufu, I'll see you later. Julia"

I wasn't blunt enough to understand the meaning of the kiss exchanged with the cheek. [M]

Shelly, it's me.

Julia, you can come in.

Excuse me ~

I came to Shelley's room. That said, since it is next door, the movement itself is not a big deal. There are many finishes left...

"Was anyone here?

"Yeah. It's my mother."

There was a chair next to the bed. I found it still warm when I sat there. [M]

"... you heard Shelley too, right?

"Yeah. From the teacher, from my mother. I didn't think I was an artificial being... well, I guess I fell into a lot of hearts."

"Same reaction as senpai."

"Senpai Eira?

"Yeah, and I thought the same thing. The anomaly that is happening in your body. Ability to suddenly wake up. I was a little relieved to learn that it was all more than human. But at the same time, I became scared. I'm... not a human or a magician. Nobody, because I thought it existed."

"In that case, you have a refreshing expression."

"I had time. I feel like I managed to sort it out."

"Hmm. But I'm fine, too. I will continue to wave my sword for mankind. Whoever you are, it doesn't change the way you are. Isn't that right?"

"You're strong, Shelly."

"What, disgusting? I heard you. He said he flew his arm at the Cyrus opponent I struggled with."

"I was obsessed with it."

"But it's getting stronger than before, right?

"Yeah... I'm sure of that."

"Then I'll be stronger than Julia. This time, I won't be able to keep my feet together."

"... I see. No, it's amazing... everyone's amazing."

In the face of this fact, both Senpai and Shelley are facing forward. I accept everything. Then there is no good reason for me to look down. [M]

"Oh, did you hear that?

"Ahh... that's it."

"Do you understand?

"... I really want to decline, but now there are three fewer Premium vs. Mages, right? You should refill it if you can. And if the teacher lowers his head..."

I see. You're going to be Shelley, too, the Premium Versus Mage. "

"Yeah. Greetings, Senpai."

"... stop. It's just a few months."

Fufu, that's right.

Shelley smiles nicely. Yes, she was asked to become a Premium vs. Mage throughout this incident. But that's true, too. Me, Senpai, Shelley has already woken up. It is self-evident that its ability is the highest among mankind. The time had come when this would happen.

Say hello again.

"Yeah."

Shake hands. It felt hotter than any handshake I've ever had.

Rooftop. I came to the hospital rooftop again by myself, looking at the city. Reconstruction is well underway, and I think I'll forget that there were claw marks on the raid. But everything that happened here is real.

There were traitors, and we were artificially... created by human malice. It's ironic that Claudia, Cyrus is free by his hand... but I couldn't get sentimental about that.

The wind blows. My hair has grown to reach my chest. [M] He was banished at dusk and did everything in his power to live. Pure white hair that has been growing since then. It wasn't stress, it was what I was supposed to be when I woke up as a Magus....

……

Starting with your right index finger, activate Invisible Blade, an invisible sword. And when I put my hair in the wind with my left hand, I took it to the back... and cut it as it was. The long hair around the face is also cut, leaving it in the wind.

Your bright white hair is swallowed up by the twilight of darkness. It seemed that all the elements that made up me would flow.

This is a break with the past. As a human being, as a magician, I have no choice but to accept all of it before proceeding. With that determination, I look up to heaven.

"... goodbye"

Say goodbye to yourself in the past. Goodbye, my past self. I learned that I was no longer just a man. [M] My existence involves too much human will. [M] Perhaps he was born out of malice. But the way of life is not malicious. Proceed with the will to confront dusk for this human being. I'm sure there's still life ahead that falls out of my palm. And maybe one day I'll fall out of this world. Until then, I will arouse myself. [M] Because this life is no longer just for me.

Twilight keeps illuminating the world. Still, as if you were laughing at the world, it just remains the same.

In a moment, a gust of wind blows. I tried to hold my hair down just like before... but there was no hair there to hold it down anymore. Keep the wind as it is and keep your nasty hair as it is.

"... let's go"

When I murmur to myself, I move forward. [M] I still don't know where we are. [M] Where does this step get to? How far can I go? [M] Can you reach the blue sky? No one knows about the future, even if they think about it. All we know is what we can do for the future.

I never looked back again.
