106 The Limits of Seven Forces of War in the Forest

Suddenly, a bursting sound called Butsun interrupted the audio from Serizawa-kun. Dr. Satsuki has been calling desperately on the comms machine (Inc) since earlier. But I haven't heard back. Neither Akai nor Serizawa-kun seemed to receive Satsuki Sensei's voice from earlier.

As soon as he found out about it, Dr. Satsuki ran out in the direction the two of them headed.

Serizawa-kun? What's wrong with you?... Akai... if you hear me, give me a reply. '

Now she's calling on both of us as she runs, but she still hasn't heard back.

'... hey, wait...!

Unexpectedly there is a voice from Akai. I'm calling on someone, something. Serizawa-kun...... it doesn't look like it. Is there anyone else? Immediately after, the battle begins. Apparently, he's trying to stop someone. That guy uses the anomaly and distorts the audio. Then the noise mixes and I don't hear a lot of noise.

In the noise, something hit me. So the noise weakened a little.

"... ghhhh..."

"... Akai?

Behind the murmur, I can hear him. A voice that looks very painful.

And also, the sound of hitting something. A slightly watery sound mixes.

"………………………………………………………………"

A voice as small as his whining is struck out by the murmurs around him and is not well heard. What are you talking about? What's he talking about in such a plundering voice? When I thought so and deafened my ears, I finally heard a meaningful word.

"..............................................................................................................."

My name. With a weak, sobbing voice...... Akai was calling my name.

"... Akai... what is it...?

"…………………………………………………………………"

With the muffled audio, he can't hear his words clearly. But I'm desperately trying to sue you for something. I try to hear it, but I can't hear him anymore.

"Hey... Akai...? What's the matter...?

Unexpectedly call on a comms machine (inc). No response from Akai.

Only noise sounds. Dr. Satsuki also continues to speak from earlier. But there's no response.

Only the noise around comes from the speakers in my ear.

"... Akai... hey... reply...!

... why.

Why doesn't he reply? Why aren't you saying anything?

"... hey... answer me...!

".................. my"

If you noticed, Shilo was holding my hand. There is also a tallow beside it. Both look at my face with a sad look on their faces.... Why am I crying now?

"... no... no... this..."

He may be alive. Maybe you'll be safe.... Whether you want to think about it or have hope, my intuition will undo everything.

... That voice made me understand everything. He was calling my name to squeeze it out, that trembling voice. I've never heard that voice before. I've lived with him all my life, and I don't know about him talking like that.

"... I'm sorry... Akai... I'm sorry..."

Plundering, weak... a lonely voice. Like a child who's about to cry out now...... no, a fine, sad voice, as if he's already starting to cry. His voice like that...... I've never heard of him.

So, so, I get it. That was my last voice. I can't talk to him anymore... ever again. When even reason could understand that way, I couldn't stop, and a large amount of tears flooded out of my eyes.

"... really... sorry... sorry..."

I just apologized. I'm just saying, "I'm sorry," even though I might have something else to do. I... who am I apologizing to? I wonder who you want to apologize to.

...... it is decided. It's on him.

"... I'm sorry... I... I can't do anything for you..."

Only the same words come out of my mouth.

But I haven't heard back. I can't tell you anything anymore.

If I were there. Maybe I could have cured him. I couldn't do anything for you. Ever... ever since I was a kid, I've had him protect me.

No... no.

When it comes to what I can do, it's enough to heal your abrasions at best. Such a half-way force, no use in such a place of battle. I would have just gotten in the way even if I was around. There was no such thing as I could do.

I am powerless now.

Thus it just helps that I can only sit and cry. To protect a guy like this, he...

"My... it's okay. That's what Tallow says."

Shiro puts his hand on my back and calls out. These kids are trying so hard to comfort me.

But... I...

I said, "Don't worry about yourself anymore. It's okay."

"... What...? Tallow's...?

"Warn!"

... Tallow? Tallow's okay? What the hell is this kid talking about...?

"I've already healed my wounds (...). Then... I've said enough about myself. That's what I'm saying."

... Tallow's, scratches? I don't know that story.

'Cause I'm that case... I've never used my powers on Tallow since that time when Tallow was killed by someone and I was' resuscitated 'with strong powers at the time. Besides, Tallow's never been hurt before.... Maybe you're mistaken about something.

"Sorry... Shiro... Tallow.... I don't have the ability to do that anymore... I can't do that anymore"

Either way... I can't. I don't have the power anymore, like that time.

"What are you talking about? The power your Lord is using for Tallow is no longer needed (...). Stop it and tell Tuba to do it. That's what Tallow says."

"Wow!!

... Quit? The power you're using on Tallow?... I didn't do that to Tallow. I wonder what the hell Shiro and Tallow are talking about. Aren't you two really mistaken for something? I'm using my powers on Tallow...?

... No.

If you mean Tallow......

On second thought, I've been a little caught up.

After I 'resuscitated' Tallow, I couldn't use my powers well. I thought the reason would be because I "used up the power of alien powers". Resurrect a dead creature once. It also resuscitated his torn body by sticking it together. It was such an insane miracle. The power of the incompetence that I had is no longer consumed (...). It's no surprise there's a price for that.

I was convinced that way, and all around me, in the end, equally convinced.

... but. Then something strange happened.

A few years ago, Tallow had been involved in a major traffic accident that wouldn't be strange if he got heavily injured in the middle of a walk. Yet it was utterly intact and kellow.... lucky. That's how we cleaned up at the time.

And even recently, I thought it was a little strange. When I was exposed, Tallow, who came to help me, struck me strong enough to blow the big man to the wall. Given the weight difference, I should have been just as shocked myself, but I didn't get any injuries from looking into it later. That's a lot sturdy, I've done about it... Calm down, that's weird if you're not injured (...).

Well, suppose...

"Now I want you to use the same (...) as you're making it tallow, for the tuba. That's what Tallow says."

... right. Was it? I never thought of that.

Tallow hasn't been hurt once since then. That's what we assumed. But Tallow's not hurt. The injury has healed. The moment I got hurt, it was healing.... with the power of my alien powers.

"... right... I was... you sound stupid, you know...!

I was totally mistaken.

I didn't use it. I didn't consume it. My powers weren't gone.

- I kept using it.

Maybe all the time... since then.

I thought if I stopped using my powers, my body would fall apart again... unconsciously, I kept using my powers on Tallow for a long time. of my power... pretty much everything.

"Warn!"

I take consciousness to Tallow's body and stroke his body. Then I found myself familiar with my hands, conveying the feeling I knew. The sensation of alien powers I always use...... no. The sense of great power that I had when I was in elementary school. I found that to come back to me.

... True.

The limit I thought was not the limit. I suddenly lost this power, and it bothered me. Yet...... I can't believe there was an answer so close. I can't believe that's what I was doing unconsciously, too...

... really, I look like an idiot.

"Thanks...... Shiro...... Tallow"

I shed tears accumulated in my eyes with my hands and concentrate my consciousness on both hands. To use my power to the fullest. He's far away now. I don't know what state it is.

But I think I can.

... because I've always been supposed to do the same to Tallow without even being conscious.
