I was just happy to have my mother.
From the moment I realized it, there was no one I could call my father.
But I didn't miss her a bit because I had a mother.
"Don't be like me..."
That's the memory of that day two years ago.
The last conversation my mother had with me a few days before she fell asleep.
My tearful mother graciously embraced me as if this were just the last goodbye.
"Mother,?"
"Sorry, sorry...... sorry"
"Why are you apologizing?"
Slowly keeping her hand on my shoulder, the mother, letting go of her body, gazed at me with her eyes that made her feel ready to go out of line after wiping her tears.
"Amako, you shouldn't be here. If you were here, you wouldn't be able to live normally or be happy..."
"Huh..."
"Now listen to me without saying anything. This is the last chance anyone's ever seen to tell you."
I didn't know what that meant.
There is no infirmity in my life right now, and there is no reason to leave.
And yet, there's no reason to leave here.
"There is no future for you here. But it's outside. So you live in a new place."
"... Mother, you're going, right?"
My mother grins sadly at my words.
"I'm sorry, I can't go with you. I have something to do here."
"What...?"
"It's important. It's okay, you're a strong girl. I'm sure you'll find someone you can trust from the bottom of your heart."
Mother's words were in such a tone that she was certain of something.
That was the last conversation my mother and I had two years ago.
My mother's face was sad then, but the way she was guiding me... was full of the same kindness as usual.
●
Amako, I'm home.
……
I was woken up by Nair's brain-weather voice coming in through a window equipped for a high spot.
It's not like prediction, I dreamed about two years ago.
As I rose from the futon rubbing my eyes, I turn my consciousness to Nair, who moved to a stopping tree prepared by the caretaker.
"How'd it go?"
"Usat and Alk knew exactly what was going on."
"Yes. Good."
Even so, I was barely worried.
I was sure Usat would notice my lies.
"Nea caught me scattered, but that turned out to be a good experience"
"There seems to be a thorn in the way I say it... Do you still have it in your roots about me?"
"I don't care now"
I don't put it in my mouth, but I really don't care because the person is quite reflective.
I would rather be glad to have Nair in this situation.
Because if it weren't for Nair, I wouldn't have been free to act this far either.
"Come on, corner, I'm here to help, but that monster will shackle you off with force. I'll tell you I was able to escape by myself... don't even know how hard this is. It's a pleasant thing."
"Well, it's no wonder Mr. Ark can get out of here if he's Usat anyway..."
"Yes, but come on!"
I fought Mr. Caron in Miarak, and he's even more polished.
Jinya didn't know too much about Usat in the first place, it's like the need for this operation.
No, it's impossible to imagine a human being who should have inferior physical abilities than a normal beast man making a move away from common sense.
"He seems to have noticed your lies right away. Besides, it was as good a guess as I would normally imagine."
"That's right. I told Usato and Mr. Alk, who have traveled with me, to understand."
From the edge, it would have sounded like I was desperate for prediction and telling the Usatos to go home. In fact, Jinya, who heard the prediction of my lies, was fooled by it, too, and let me and Usato hang out properly.
But the truth is to tell Usat and the others that Jinya and I are going to 'fight head-on'.
"Jinya called our relationship brittle. But to that extent, our” ever ”is unshakeable.
How much hardship do you think we've been through?
Nair put an evil dragon on me.
In Samarial, he moved to break the curse.
In Miarak, we fought to stop the runaway dragonman, Mr. Caron.
It was all a tough case, but in the process we've worked together and helped each other.
"Somehow, I trust you..."
"What are you talking about? So is Nair."
I give that back to Nair, who whined like some other HR.
Nair, who made her mouth shudder at my words, immediately smiled strangely.
"That's right. What am I talking about?"
"Not only did you finally look, but your head also became a bird?"
"Excuse me! I'll get it!?"
I smiled small at Nair, who spread his wings to represent his anger and began to swing barely with his mouth.
But not if we're having a soothing conversation, so we switch the subject immediately.
"Speaking of which, did Usat give you permission?"
"Yes. Quickly, I've sucked blood from your guard soldiers and maids. Until the time comes for a change, your conversation with me will not be heard or noticed by anyone."
"... Nair refers to Usat quite a bit, but it's probably, isn't it? If it's dangerous, Nair's up there."
It is truly amazing that it is the bondage that increases the number of people who can manipulate so instantly that no one will notice.
You're not convinced by my words, Nair just pointed her lips a little.
"It's not that versatile. It's a lot of work to manipulate because it uses magic and, more importantly, I have to suck blood and make a suggestion myself, right? So it's not like you can manipulate a lot of them."
"... it is"
"Well, that's why I have to figure out when to use it. Rather, Usato is worse. People seem harmless to humans and animals if they're normal, but once they show their true nature, they beat them with healing magic. And with the speed and power of human separation, I'm still cute compared to such a monster."
I think it's both.
But Nair wasn't implying it without thinking either...
It's not what I could have said either, but I have terrible abilities.
"Well, leave it to me to move behind. I'll remind you who Jinya pissed off and turned to her enemies."
"... yeah, please"
This time, Nair may be on his mind, too.
There is no reason for Nair to give a handful to a man named Jinya who is unreasonably imprisoned, and who doesn't even try to keep his minimum promises.
Besides, I think Nair himself sometimes likes Usat.
Although he would never tell Usato about it.... Can't I tell you about people, too?
"Oh, I've finally seen your mother."
How'd it go?
"I checked again, but I knew I couldn't feel the magic. That's unnatural, too."
I can't feel the magic.
That would be to say that no magic exists in my mother today.
"There are two possible possibilities. Have the magic itself vanished from your body, or have the magic moved just like it did elsewhere? I believe it's the latter."
Magic is being transferred.
There's only one reason I can think of.
"I knew it was caused by 'twa'?"
"Not everything, but one end of it seems to be there. In the first place, it's a magic trick to change predictive magic, and it seems incomplete, so it's no surprise that the mushroom itself has been pulled through the magic of the mushroom because of some harm."
I've never thought about what happens when people lose their magic.
Because it's not the same as consuming magic and losing it.
And...
"... Mother, she's still in her body. I won't wake up, but I live in that body."
When Usat tried to cure his mother by strengthening her lineage, her words poured into her head through Usat's body.
Mother was sure of her will to reach us.
"I heard the voice itself through Usat. It's hard to believe."
"... Even I couldn't believe it. I haven't heard it in two years, because it was my mother's voice..."
It was so shocking that I couldn't even move into the Jinya and the others' raids.
"I couldn't figure out why my mother stopped waking up the whole time. I heard you won't wake up from anything, you're suffering from a serious illness, tell yourself... I looked for a healing wizard who could manage the illness"
When I came back here I finally understood.
Listen to the magic prop called 'Twa' and listen to Jinya, who is good at using her mother's predictive magic.
"But it wasn't, actually. My mother is not sick. My mother was forced to move 'Twa'. I activated 'Twa' from myself because I was being pushed into a situation where I had to do it"
"... a situation where unfinished magic props must be moved... when it comes to your mother's reasons for doing so..."
"I know."
Block Nair's words.
Come here, look at some of my mother's memories. I finally got to know the words of that time and the reason for the tears.
"Two years ago, I was the one who moved 'Twa'. My mother took my place to stop it..."
"He's the only one who made me do it..."
"Jinya, the man who has had power since that time"
If I were in the kingdom of the Beastman as it were, I'd be really freaked out considering I'd have been treated as a part of moving 'Twa'.
But more than that, I took my anger.
My mother should have been trying to create a 'twa' for me and the future Prophetic Wizard. I even sacrificed my mother at the end of the quote, trying to twist it the way it was and make it my own.
Honestly, I'm pissed off at you right now.
Still, I can stay calm because I still have hope of waking my mother up.
"Neither my mother nor myself will be used by that man anymore"
I'm done being flushed by an irrational fate.
It's over to be frightened of an uncertain future.
"Me, no, we... let's all grab the best results"
If you want to do something, you can do it.
We'll destroy everything like that.
"Usato will definitely come and help me. So let's do what we can by then."
"What if Usat doesn't come?"
You don't have to ask me that. You know that.
Does Nair know, too, or is it a tearing tone?
"I'm coming. 'Cause it's Usat."
"Heh, yeah, right. He said he'd definitely help you with your message."
I'm sure Jinya, who's looking down on humans, won't even notice.
A man named Usat.
that he had never given up on anyone “who wished to help” in any difficult situation.
That's what I thought, and when the moonlight was looking up at the night sky from the high windows that plugged in, Nair called out to me again to see if I thought of anything.
"I was wondering."
"What?"
"Did you see the future? Was the future of Usat and Alk all a lie?"
I get upset by unexpected inquiries.
Shake your head to the side so you don't get upset.
"... I didn't see it. But that's how much Jinya predicted it."
"Phew, I knew there were parts that seemed convenient and inconvenient"
……
You weren't so interested, I sincerely apologize for lying to Nair, who soon ended the conversation. I saw the prediction. Not the prediction of the lies that Usat and Mr. Alk will die, but the real prediction.
I decided to keep my mouth shut because I don't want Nair to disturb my concentration. Because the future I saw was ominous in a way.
During the battle, we bravely fight Usat and the unidentified -.
"Black, masked warrior"
I watched the battle behind Usat.
The sight of a creepy warrior shaking the shadows and covering his face with a black mask fighting more than one another with Usat.
The masked black man raised his voice of joy, and Usat shook up his right fist wrapped in a caged hand eating his teeth. My prediction ends with the light as I wage a battle that I cannot follow with my eyes.
That's all prediction.
But I was disturbed by the presence of a powerful enemy that threatened Usat, apart from an enemy named Jinya.
