In the process of having your friend and Mary conduct an investigation in Lord Barastos's hall, I decided to make a report to my brother.
'My memory... don't my friends remember us completely?
"Yes. I'm behaving as if I came to this world the other day. However, we also understand that there is an acquaintance of ours, and so far they seem to be working together."
"... right"
"I'm sorry. While I was by my side, I allowed accidental contact..."
In the first place, it would have been nice if I hadn't left your side for a moment during your friend's outing.
'Sometimes they were the ones who did it. Besides, I'm guessing Mix was negotiating because his friends told him to, right?
"Yes......"
I also act as a merchant, so your friend taught me the art of negotiation. The flow led me to negotiate the price with the merchant by myself, and as a result, I made contact with your friend Solid.
"Tales of friends are rarely possessed by temptation. And if you're too thorough and protective, your friends will be cramped."
My brother will fix it that I'm not the only one with a downfall, but that, on the contrary, will tighten my mind. Before this, your friend was to stand in the abyss of death in the matter of the Scarlet Demon King and Serraes. My brother told me that this report is also being heard in situations such as not being here.
"I will contact you as soon as I find out anything from Lord Barastos's investigation."
'Oh, do that. If a friend craves Sir Ratzel's power, he's going to send it out to Toryn immediately. Tell your friends about it.'
When he finished his communication and headed to Lord Barastos, Lord Barastos was putting his hands on the body of Lord Mary, who was sleeping, to see if he could see any abnormalities in his body.
"Hmm, I see. I knew this was how it works. Some people used funny curses."
"Lord Barastos, do you know what it is?
Lord Barastos begins his explanation by drawing a single line on parchment.
"To give you a rough idea, you're deflecting the observation of memory. Memory is like a straight line between the past and the present. What Solide has done is force a point in the past to pull it up to its current point of observation. Then the memories from that past point to the present will not be observed, and it feels unrecognized as our memories."
"Hmm. You don't have a pin. Because your friend knows?
"Finally, if memory is treated as an object, the power of the solide is blind to memories from certain points in the past. So there's no change in physical ability per se."
"Right. That discrepancy is embedded in both bodies as a curse wedge. If we can get rid of this, it should be back to normal, right?
Oh! I was worried about what to do if you didn't return, but in principle, you mean you have plenty of potential to recover! You should take it as good news first.
"Barastos, this curse should be a use of your talent as a solide dropper. Is there any chance that a third party can curse it?
"... frankly, I can't. I can't imagine a wedge in my memory. The idea itself is usually magical. If we try to be bad, we could still have a problem with our memories."
"Oh, hey... that's troublesome"
Are you saying that there is almost no treatment you can do in this setting... this should be received as sad news... But your friend doesn't see a particular distressing bareback.
"From what I've heard, Solid is believed to have used his cane to launch the attack. Then I guess I'm using the wand as a mediator to maintain the wedge. Then suppose you can break the wand or kill Solid and you can break this curse."
"It's a range of possibilities, though. If you just accidentally kill Solid, you might lose the means to curse him?
"He's like taking people's memories. I don't think I'd respond to decent negotiations where I half-lived them, and I think I'm seeing trouble?
Hmm, what your friend says is most appropriate... somehow it feels more like a frown than usual.
"Solid should be caught alive if restoring memory is our top priority."
"As for 'me', I want to give top priority to taking care of risks. There's nothing wrong with me."
I see, is that what you mean? From our point of view, your friend has lost his memory and wants to do something about it. But from your friends, I don't really feel that...
"Your friend. Your friend doesn't seem to interfere with his life at the moment, but that is not the case with Lord María, who received the most power of the Solide to protect your friend. Could you please be very careful for Lord Mary here?
"... in the first place, didn't that Merriam engage Solid with 'me'?
"It... may be so..."
"It's a bit risky for the guy who did the damage..."
"But Lord Mary respects your friends, and your friends..."
Your friend's eyes are again...... I can't help but feel disgusted when they analyze me so relentlessly. But for your current friend, I am in a position to advise you to carry the danger….
"Hey Mix. You're saying those words with your own personal feelings, aren't you? Surely your position should be to escort 'me'. So did María, right? No, is it surveillance, one way or the other? Do you want to say which priority you give to your emotions or your mission to protect 'me'?
"- That's your friend's safety, of course..."
"Priority should be given to life over memory, right? Or are you trying to tell me that 'I', who don't remember you, isn't worth it?
"Oh, no!
"So even if I can't remember you for the rest of my life, it's more important that 'I' be alive, right?
Why, why are you saying that in such a terrible way!? It's like it's so disturbing my mind-- Ah.
"... would you mind playing around here"
"- Yeah, I'm sorry. I wanted to weigh how much you could hang on the scale about me."
Your friend laughs like a prank. You came all this way to shake my heart to find out how far I could move for your friend. Because of their high level of observation, your friends are good at shaking their minds. But I don't hesitate to use these methods against someone I'm supposed to be close to... an act that your usual friends can't think of. To the extent that you don't feel comfortable doing it, take care not to give them anxiety......
"I understand very well your friend's desire to make it a top priority to protect himself. But if you're a friend who's walked with us, you'll never take a policy to keep Lord Mary here."
"I see you are. You're now of 'me' and the future...... uh, which one is it? Because we're dating like this in this world...... well 'me' I guess. I have feelings close to confusion and disgust at the difference between the two. Looks like the future" I "has become something of value to you guys."
"... Yes. Exactly."
"Oh well. Then I won't hesitate to work with you for your future self. Barastos, could you look into a little more detail on how to uncurse the wedge while taking care of Mary for the moment?
"Fine, but I'm asking for consideration, too, right?
"I'll have the right one. I don't know much about the world market right now. I'm studying for a while. Let's just say that Ekdoyk brings you some of the" I "stuff."
Your friend tried to leave the room with his back stretched, and when he was not like me, he went bare without even looking at me. Your current friend must have convinced me...
"In the end, what you're looking at is the future 'me', right? I know you don't want to see me."
"Huh!?
Looking back, though I tried to stop your friend, it was already after your friend closed the door to the room and left.
"Hey, Mix. This is my advice, you better keep your eyes peeled off that puppy. I don't see a race that doesn't feel hostile at all, but doesn't feel safe at all."
I don't feel safe, I agree with that word. But I have some idea why anxiety can stir up more than that. There have been events in the past that I thought I should be so careful about about your friend......
"Right... when Lord 'Kim'... was it Sabrow... Similar to that time..."
"Sabrow?"
"It was when I first met Lord 'Kim' in Ghane..."
Explain that time to Lord Barastos. We ran the country of Ghane in a virtual world created by the power of 'governance' and were challenged to battle on the condition that if we destroy Tayz, we would win. The result was a victory for your friend and Wolfe in action...... but there was Sir Ratzel's defeat there.
"You mean that Ilias was called Saburou, a puppy in a virtual world with a child in it and wisdom?
"Yes, your friend was a friend, even in the virtual world. Sir Ratzel, who was recognized by his friend as an enemy, was completely heartbroken and no longer in a position to continue his battle."
The memory of that time was erased by the measure of Lord 'Kim', but if it remained... if Sir Ratzel was still in a position to protect your friend...
"You mean virtual world puppies have been harassing real-world Ilias and puppies because they know they're virtual worlds, right? You do look alike. Today's puppy is observing the present from the point of memory of the past, and if she remembers... maybe she didn't."
Now it doesn't end with a virtual world story. What if your current friend thought you were something that would disappear by bringing back memories… can you really help me?
◇
Upon delivery of the personal belongings of his compatriots, who were based in Toryn's stronghold, the compatriots immediately began to check their contents.
"This is it all? Less than I thought?
"That's all I have for being based. Is the rest of it Tayz...... yes, isn't it in Kuto's belly too?
"Really? Kuto, do you have any material or anything?
"Jesus, Tashawha"
That said, Kuto appeared the body of the devil and spat out some bunch of clumped parchment.
"I do. Let it out in the course of the conversation. I don't care."
"Sorry Nasai, Kuto, Sijmatiakma. Givenkarananika, Dekinai"
"Oh, you did. Then I'll correct your current words. If that's what you're doing, then complaining about it is a mistake. Are you numbered, hmm... Hey, Ekudoik, have you ever checked this contents?
My countrymen show me parchment, but the letters written there are not from this world. It is the language of my compatriots' homeland, known as Nihongo.
"Was it Nihongo? I can't read that language."
"I'm not writing in literary style, and I don't think it's a difficult language,"
"Yugra... who came from the same Chicu as his countrymen, but I hear the man applied something to this world that reinforces his resistance to understanding Nihongo"
"I see you are. But he said he could pronounce it. A curse for letters or something like that? It's a truly fantastic world..."
Phew, that's what my countrymen call this world from time to time. Sounds like a fantastic meaning, but I guess it's an emotion you have to have from your compatriots from a world where magic doesn't even exist.
"Does that seem to mean something like that is also written in that dossier?
"Yeah. Is it insurance when you lose your memory, as it is now, or are you going to even make it a landmark when the new Chicu have moved across the world? It's a polite compilation of the information we've learned in this world."
"You're a boulder. Ilyas often tells me it's too much mame, but I can still purely appreciate that kind of plain work."
"Ilias...... right. You're like a partner to the future 'me', aren't you?
"Mm... it's a little bit of an admission to that... Must be the longest-lasting compatriot you've ever known."
A while back, I might have burned my confrontation... I can't just fight for my countrymen right now, "Ethan" or Mary.
"It also says something about Ekdoik. Was he the enemy who tried to kill 'me' at first?
"Yeah. But I was supposed to betray my fellow countrymen. After that, it's been used well, not to this day."
"Do I feel like I resent the way you put it?
"If that's what it sounded like, it's my lack of vocabulary. He lent his wisdom for the purpose, even in a position to be used at the time. Now my confidence gives me good advice to grow. No resentment for such a compatriot."
Sounds like it.
Is my change of heart well written as well? That gives me a little interest. But more than that, I'm concerned about the strange reaction of my countrymen. My compatriots would have already observed me. Then do you also understand what I think of my countrymen now? So why are you throwing this kind of question?
"... my countrymen, what do my countrymen think of me now?
"Mm-hmm. I don't hate that gear or fashion sense. But you don't seem like a woman."
"Oh, yeah?
Female Uke...... I guess it's definitely about the ratings from the women...... I wonder if 'Pale' or Mary A thinks a lot about this gear?
"On the contrary, why did you ask such a weird question?
"Don't my fellow countrymen remember spending time with me now? And I know very little about my fellow countrymen's past. Then the compatriots now in front of us will be as if they were another person. I was a little interested in how I look in my fellow countrymen's eyes with no past experience."
"... I see. Then I'll go into a little more detail, but you feel like I'm strong. It's going to break where it breaks, but it's not going to break where it doesn't."
"Can I take that as high praise?
"I guess it depends. At the heart of it, accommodation has to work. It's bad too. But you like it, if the memory of 'me' goes back to normal, there's no point in evaluating it now. Was that worth asking?
So you're saying that if the memory of your fellow countrymen returns, your fellow countrymen will be gone now? Sure, maybe there won't be any compatriots who don't know us... but that feels different.
"I wonder what the truth is. If the point of observation was shifted to the point of the past, wouldn't there be a present memory in the memory of the past when the memory returns?
"I wonder if that's possible. But then the time paradox - does it not occur? It's going to be a mild memory problem though."
"Time Paradox......?
"It's about bringing the memory of the future into the past that changes the past and the future. Well, I can't actually observe memories, so I can understand that it doesn't change the future or the past."
I see. If current memory does become a memory of the past, it will be acting unlikely. There will also be great potential for confusion of memory. If I moved my current memory back to the past, I would have a situation where I knew Lachra was my sister but not my sister. It is a contradiction, and a debacle arises. It's a story that seems mentally overloaded. If this were to interfere with the facts, we might run out of time.
"I see. Don't even nod at why the magic of interfering in space-time is contraindicated"
"Oh, yeah. I wonder if it says somewhere...... oh, this. Contraindicated list...... haha, doesn't a guy named Yugra want civilization to develop in vain? Well, it's a corner fantasy world, and I know how you feel, right?
"It's like not accidentally reading it out. Maybe I'll be targeted for my life by a colorless demon king."
"That's in the caveat. I'm not a bad copycat."
The compatriots resume their work of looking through the materials. It could get in the way any more, you should take your seat off once. But I have to tell you what I thought before that.
"... back to this, I think I see value in talking to my countrymen like this right now. I guess from my current compatriots there is no certainty that this memory will remain... at least in my memory. People can leave some trace. There must be consequences for our compatriots today that only our compatriots can leave behind."
"Right. … I think it's a good point."
"Mm-hmm? What do you mean?
"Don't worry about it. Just a little motivated."
"Well, that's more than anything."
In the end, the conversation ended with this. I feel like my compatriots are different now than they have been before, but they must still be the ones I can learn from. My countrymen have forgotten their previous selfishness and feel inconvenienced. Then we will have to support our compatriots today.
