Well, here we go.Raise your right hand if it hurts. "

"Relax, it doesn't hurt anything."

Sola and Luna stood on the couch to Nokia's left and right.

We're going to use magic to explore Nokia's memory.

"Ha, yes... thank you very much."

"Yuku!

"Memory Search"

A pale light was produced from the palms of Sola and Luna, enveloping Nokia.

Pickun and Nokia shake their backs.

"Nh... fuu"

Sometimes Nokia spilled a small voice.

It's not like it hurts....

It's a voice that feels like it remembers tickles.

"... yes, it's over.Until you're bored. "

After about five minutes, Sola and Luna stopped their magic.

The pale light disappears and Nokia exhales at the same time.

She seemed nervous and a little sweaty.

"Hey, it feels good to wipe your face with this..."

"Thank you."

Tina gives Nokia the bowl.

Nokia shook her fox ear with a cold puff on her face.

"How do you feel, huh?

"Yes, very much. It's so sweet of you to have something like this prepared."

"Don't do that.Nina always takes care of her head.Thank you for that. "

"Take care of your head....?

Probably always pointing to Nina on the head.

However, I don't know what Nokia is talking about.

She leaned her head strangely.

"Sola, Luna. How'd it go?Do you have any leads?

"Yes, I found it."

"It's just... mu"

Sola and Luna have a difficult face.

"Maybe it's hard to say?

"No, that's not true."

"It's just something that's really embarrassing to know what to do."

"Um... could you tell me about it for a moment?So let's talk about it together. "

"That's right. First of all, it doesn't start without talking... okay.Now let's talk about the memories of Nokia and the others. "

――――――――――

The first sight I saw was the empty wilderness.

Nokia stands alone on a barren earth without plants and trees.

The harder it was to find an uninjured area, the more injured my body was.

She is bleeding and weeping.

In his hand is a man of the same tribe of gods.

The sight I saw next was very calm.

Nokia was holding the god tribe of babies in both hands.

It's like I'm surprised....

However, it felt like it would definitely let go, and it was gentle and strong.

When the baby laughed, Nokia also laughed, and it was very peaceful.

The next sight I saw was running through the mountains.

Nokia, with her baby in her arms, ran desperately through the mountain as if she were running away from something.

It doesn't matter if the branches of the tree get caught and scratches or cuts occur.

I was just running in a state of selflessness.

The baby was crying.

Nokia seemed unhappy to see it, but she couldn't stop her feet.

The last sight I saw was nothing but darkness.

There is no light at all, and there is no sense of up, down, left, or right.

Cut out the night, black as if it had condensed the darkness.

Among them was Nokia.

Rounded and fluffy like a fetus.

However, his face was distorted by pain.

It's stretching like a tentacle, as if the darkness around it was trying to capture her....

Nokia can do nothing and continues to suffer.

――――――――――

"It feels like..."

……

After listening to a single story, we look like we can't say anything.

The second memory is probably from when Nina was born.

However, other than that, it's a mystery... and it's very ominous.

The first and third memories have a disturbing atmosphere.

And more than that, the fourth memory feels disgusting.

What does it mean to be swallowed up by the darkness?

"Hmm... did Nokia-san get involved in something?

I don't know, I think so too.

Tina agreed to Kanade's words.

"But I have no idea what the case is like."

"The third memory seemed to be running away from something.So there were enemies who could harm the strongest species?

"Or maybe he was being chased by multiple people."

"There is a possibility that something like England has happened."

I don't want to think about the possibility if I can....

But you can't deny it unless it's absolutely there.

"Okay?

Mr. Fong raised his hand when everyone was bothering him.

With a glance, you gently cough up and open your mouth.

"It's about the last memory... but I know one thing."

"Eh, really?

I don't know how to remember the last time....

Mr. von is a merchant who traveled around, so he may have a lot of knowledge.

"However, I can't say for sure, it's a mixed speculation....."

"No, that's fine.I want even one clue right now. "

"I see. However, please listen to me on the assumption that I may be wrong."

Mr. Fong corrects his residence and starts talking with a magical face.

"Before I came to Horizon, I was traveling a lot.At that time, I was buying a lot of information. "

"Nhn, any information?

"Information is very important.Some merchants deal with shapeless things.Especially since I'm the type to do anything.I'm sorry, I missed the point. "

"Never mind, it is.It's the mouth scissors, the cats. "

"It's been a long time since I've had a weird nickname!

"Er... that's why I was dealing with all kinds of information, but there were rumors that I was concerned about."

"Rumors?"

"Yes, the name of the rumor is... the curse of darkness."
