Ore wa Mada, Honki o Dashite Inai

The next day, I was alone in the study.

I have two coins lined up on my desk.

Both, the stars are seven.

The number of stars is together, but the color of the two coins is the opposite.

Silver white on one side, but black light on the other.

The seven silver and white stars were taken before - in the ceremony immediately after the inauguration of the principals.

The black one showed up yesterday.

And beside it, I placed it equally on my desk, the legacy of the first generation.

A sword that supposedly was used by the first generation and is now old and mellow.

At that time, coins and this sword glowed at the same time, a phenomenon worthy of calling it "resonance," and the first generation of phantoms appeared, and when they defeated it, the coins changed.

From one silver white star to the seven glowing stars.

They're both related to the first generation, and I once heard about, for different reasons, the first English spirit showing up and nagging -.

I mean, I guess this is one of the things that the first generation has done.

Then...

"Hermes, you were here."

In the middle of my thinking, Sophia came into the room.

She looked at the two coins on her desk and went.

"Well, you have one of those."

"Oh, what's wrong with this?

"And I'm going to the Cave of Trials today."

"... why?

I was a little wary.

I was suddenly attacked yesterday, some fact, and for now I took them back to forgive them for trying to pull them up.

Honestly, I don't really feel comfortable going again on this matter.

"When I got home yesterday, I checked the documents your ancestors left behind."

"Despina's?"

Sophia nodded clearly.

Despina.

Two hundred people serving the first generation of the Canoe family, women who ran through the battlefield together and continued to fight without missing one until the end.

I was told a lot about my first generation of martial arts, but it's also a pretty nasty story that 200 people followed and didn't lack it to the end.

The 200 were given the title "Despina," after which they circled and became their last names.

The descendant is Sofia, Sofia Despina.

"Yeah, it's called Neola Comenena, don't you know?

"Bad, never heard of it"

"Yeah."

Sophia nodded small, never particularly disturbed.

"I never heard of it until I followed the lineage chart, either."

"Do you have a genealogy diagram?"

"I do, for 200 people. It's stuck and figured out along the way, and there's canoe main house blood in it."

"That sounds interesting to me."

That's all the epic lineage diagrams excite me, something romantic.

"- And I missed the point. I found the documents his ancestors left behind. Not directly, but it said something that might be about this coin."

"What's it about?

I got a little carried away.

Pretty concerned.

There's a completely different chance of "doing it" than knowing or not knowing the information.

If you have any information, I'd like to know.

"First of all, it's about the people your ancestors loved - the ancestors of us all."

"I mean, you're talking about Kaori's father."

"Yeah."

Sophia nodded deeply.

My ancestors, the first generation of canoes.

Erica's ancestor, the man of the Wise Queen.

The man Despina loved, the ancestor of Sofia.

And - Kaori's father.

These all refer to the same man.

... When I get here, I have to feel some cause.

"That's what the guy was saying. Collect all seven balls from one star to seven stars in your birthplace and you'll only get one wish."

"Anything?

"Yeah, he said he could bring the dead back to life."

"Do you have such a magical item... ah"

I got angry.

I looked all the way down and saw the coin placed on my desk.

Two coins, each one carving seven stars.

Originally they are both the same color, from one to seven, seven coins.

A man who said there were seven balls and a woman involved made seven coins.

And the coins have a lot of tricks.

If you feel like it, it will take the form of collecting seven.

It can't be a total coincidence, this.

"Master Sora said, Hermes, you got all seven last time,"

"Oh."

I nodded clearly.

I did have all seven then.

I haven't shown it to anyone, but I only talk to my sister.

"Nothing happened then"

"Yeah."

"That's better this way..."

Sophia blackens - resonates and offers a seven-star coin for those who change after defeating the phantom.

"I guess it's because this one's real."

"Authentic......"

"True, what it is."

"... I see"

I thought without picking my chin.

It's a story that falls to my heart.

In the first place, it's a "trial" cave over there.

Think of it as a true treasure you've won the trials and got - it's convincing of a lot of things.

"I mean... you have to make all the coins what they are."

"I think so."

"I see. Then I guess it really has to be that cave"

"So let's go... Hermes, is there any different reason?

That's what you look like, Sophia, and I'm going to point it out to you.

"Oh."

I nodded deeply and took my first sword from the desk and a silver-white seven-star coin.

Same thing I did yesterday in the cave, but the two didn't resonate.

"You were glowing the moment you took it in your hand yesterday, right?

"Right."

"In the first place, this coin and sword have always been close by. I've been carrying the sword since I gave it to you, and the coins are always in this drawer."

"That cave place is one of the conditions to react."

"Might be"

"Then I have to go more and more!

Here we go back to where we started.

No, back off, it went one step further.

When I heard more about it and gave out one piece of information from me, it reinforced the story Sophia brought.

Just a little bit -... while I think.

"... didn't that book say anything else? Regarding the Seven Balls."

"If I collect all seven balls, the dragon will come out and grant me one wish for anything"

"A dragon... what else?

"Yeah."

Sophia shook her head.

"With coins, with stars? That's all the statements about it."

"Right."

I thought about it.

This is... maybe a good opportunity.

It's fascinating that you only get one wish for anything.

If the first generation had prepared seven coins with that in mind.

I wanted to hope that I would lead a life that didn't go unnoticed.

Thinking about it a little bit, I'm hungry.

"... All right, let's go"

"Yeah!"

Sophia nodded happily that I was getting on.

Sophia and I, we both came to the cave.

I didn't bring my sister in today.

Unlike yesterday, Sophia didn't say anything about it because today is not a situation that requires a witness, and I didn't let my sister know I could stay that way either.

That's how I came to the cave and stepped in.

"Hermes! The sword!"

"Huh?"

Sophia pointed me out, and I looked at my hips.

A legacy of the first generation, the sword glowed pale.

That means.

I took out the coin.

Silver white seven-star coin.

That, too, was equally pale and glowing.

"You're glowing."

Same as yesterday.

"Yeah, but not as good as yesterday"

"I don't know why"

"Probably... it's not in place, so what?

As I recall what happened yesterday, overlapping with the current situation, I guess.

"Because this coin is what was in the deepest part."

"Then let's move on! You'll find out when you get there."

"Right, let's go."

We nodded and headed behind the cave.

There are no different calls, but this is the third time I've been in.

Besides, maybe I can live a discreet life with a wish to do whatever it takes.

I was motivated by that sense of expectation and cleared all the tricks on the road lightly.

Lightly through the first pedestal where nothing is gone and comes to the second.

There was a silver and white two-star coin there.

"I'll try, Sophia, please back off"

"Yeah."

Sophia straightened away.

I made sure she got far enough before I took the coin on the pedestal.

Then the exact same thing happened yesterday.

The first phantom appeared, glowing as a coin and sword resonated, with the same face as that engraved on the coin.

It's the second time, because I expected it.

I settled down and dealt with it, slashing ahead (,,), cutting it off before the phantom moved out.

"Okay."

The light went out and a silver-white two-star coin became a six-star coin with a black glow.

I turned it upside down in a way - I feel like I'm behind it from the surface.

"Hermes!

"Hmm? Oh."

One breath opened and I could see why Sophia screamed.

Defeat the phantom and even if you get the coin behind you, your first sword will remain glowing.

And that light is stronger than it is when you come into the cave.

Remove the seven star coin from the table from your pocket.

"This one's glowing better too."

"'Cause we're close, right?"

"Don't be."

When I nodded, Sophia nodded happily.

"Let's go! Next!"

"Oh."

Sophia was distracted, as if she were going to lead me through Zunzun.

I followed him right after.

Follow the pedestal one after the other, letting out the first phantoms from the coins that react, to get the coins behind them.

The three stars on the table became the five stars behind them.

The four stars on the table became the four stars on the back.

The five stars on the table became the three stars on the back.

The six stars on the table became the two stars behind.

And I came to the last room.

"It's glowing... the best I've ever..."

Sword and coin, look at the two, Sophia crushing in amazing mix.

"Let's do it."

"Yeah."

Place a coin on the pedestal once that just glows when you enter the room, and then take it.

Then, until then, nothing resonated.

A phantom of the first generation appeared.

I will defeat that with a single knife.

The phantom disappeared and the seven stars on the table became the one behind it.

Now we have it all.

I took out all the coins and lined them up on the palm of my hand.

Sophia approaches.

You're all set.

"Oh."

"I wonder what I'll do with this"

"Right, hold it like this, or leave these on the pedestal in order from one to seven, or vice versa in order from seven to one"

There are three possibilities, if that's about it, you should hit the spots - when I thought about it.

Seven coins glowed out.

"Hermes!?

"I didn't do anything."

"I mean..."

I could clearly see the color of my expectations from Sophia's face.

The light gathered, eventually, in the form of a person.

It was a woman.

She was a different woman than her first generation.

No, girl, it was.

She was a girl in black, her body glowing lightly.

"Is that it? You... Sophia"

"Yeah, it's similar... something different"

Me and Sophia were surprised at the same time.

She's similar, she taught me a lot, to that girl who knows Sophia too.

It's similar... but it also feels decidedly different.

She is as magnificent an attitude as the word heavenly and subterranean self-respect - embodied.

Honestly, she looks like a girl, but she feels like a grown woman.

You've come a long way.

"Uh, are you...?

My name is Ele, and I'm the dragon goddess.

The girl tried to say something and said it again.

I don't know what you tried to say, no. I don't care about that.

I bumped my excitement just like that.

"Tell me, are you sure you'll grant me one wish?

"What's the story, it's"

"Are you not..."

I dropped my shoulder disappointingly.

I was as disappointed as I thought.

Right, there's no such thing as a delicious story.

Even though it's impossible to do anything about it if you think about it, I expected it even once, so the disappointment was huge.

'More than that... hon. Well done. I've come this far. What I want from you is the power the world gets?

"Huh? I don't need it."

I turned it down fast.

The power of the world to enter?

If that happens, it's gonna be tougher than ever, okay?

I want to live quietly.

'Hmm, you're being modest. Uh... I don't know how it went at times like this'

The woman takes out some notes and looks at it.

"Hmm, because I'm an honest man, both of them - I see."

The woman nodded firmly and looked this way even more.

'So what you want is the power half the world gets?

"Huh? No. He said he didn't need half of it. Because I don't need that."

"You're a humble man, I'll reward you with both, the power to get 1.5 worlds"

"To?"

'Ha!'

The woman reached out and flew something.

Fly away and avoid it - but keep track of it before I avoid it, and it hit me.

Nothing hurts, no damage or anything.

but it feels like something flew in my body.

"Um, bye."

That said, the woman disappeared.

No, more than that.

"Ko, this is..."

I stared at my hands and was stunned.

"What's wrong, Hermes!

"The power... has increased further?

"Huh? You mean stronger? Wow!"

Pleasant Sophia.

On the other hand, I'm stunned.

I came to fulfill that wish in order to spend every day with Guru, but I became even stronger with a reason I didn't quite understand.

"It's not just about getting stronger, it's about the power that 1.5 of the world gets"

"What?"

"Now it's Farewell"

The woman slipped her face from the coin again.

This time, as the words of, the coin became like a stone, and then whatever it did, it stopped.

Let's say 1.5 of the world...

What the hell is going on? Aah!!!
