I don't know the surgical marks unless they are also serious injuries.

That's all the dodgy stuff that you can tell by the scan that explores the inside.

"Alice, I don't mind if you don't want to talk about it, but this flaw is puzzling"

……

Face to face Alice bit her lip.

I don't regret it. I don't regret it either. Tesfir also knows this in the first place.

Still, I only talked about it once, though this topic never went up any further with Tesfir.

So if Ars' research were to move on by talking, nothing should have prevented him from doing so.

Not in the past, of course, as I publicly proclaim.

Still, the words caught around my throat don't even freak me out. He wants to go back inside, reluctant to go up any further.

The words I grabbed started to obstruct my breathing with my throat.

If I realized it, my breath would rise like it did after I was fully ill, and I didn't know why I did so myself.

"Alice......!?

Alice was hyperventilating when she stood up.

Breathing that doesn't even give you while you speak the word. A mouth that sucks in oxygen so that it can peel.

Ars quickly rushed over to an unusual situation.

――――

It was Ars who covered Alice's thoughts every sight that she could no longer even think about.

"I'm sorry."

Chestnut hair, hands gently on the back of the head.

Alice's face was buried in Ars' chest with a definite thickness.

The sound of carving a certain tone you do hear besides your breathing sounds. He was listening to a definite heartbeat coming from the chest plate.

Gradually breathing also regains calm so as to suit its rhythm.

How long have you been doing that?

Ten minutes? Thirty minutes? An hour? Alice didn't know, but I felt like I'd been doing that for a long time anyway.

It's like I was asleep.

Alice's hands clutched his clothes, so wrinkled if she noticed. Clothes wet with tears also try to push her ears off the way and face one side.

"Oh, sorry"

As soon as he was embarrassed, Alice jumped back to let go.

"It was worse for me. Forget it."

"... yeah"

Palpitations still occur. Out of embarrassment or not cured yet...... I don't really feel like tightening my heart.

"You should go home now"

"But... nothing yet..."

It was a suggestion because it wasn't in a very trainable state, but I guess Alice doesn't want to go home without doing anything just because the roots are serious.

He was not able to come out strongly because he was aware of the symptoms.

"No, rest of the day. I'm off tomorrow. I've got plenty of time."

"Yeah, okay. Then let me do that."

"Come back when you get back"

Although Ars included it after he felt calmer than he was in physical condition.

"Al, I'll see you tomorrow."

I just dropped him off with a bitter laugh as to whether he was going to come tomorrow.

I'll escort Loki to the girls' dorm because something shouldn't happen for once.

A lab with a paragraph.

Ars lowered his hips to the chair more and more.

"Huh."

I carried a teacup on my desk to my mouth. I exhale once more when I realize there is nothing in there.

The curvature of reflection dropped when it was a detour. At the same time, I think it's quite deep-rooted.

I think it's like trauma, but in view of the lack of magic information, the dodgy surgical marks, it's something that blocks my mind.

It's not just Alice's own problem, it's not one that you can leave alone.

"When Loki gets back, will you make me some coffee?"

Push the cup into the corner of the desk. It was only at this time that time passed for no reason.

♢ ♢ ♢

Returning to his room, Alice rammed first into bed in a large room with no cohabitants.

"What's wrong with you?"

I'm embarrassed. Just remembering makes my face hot.

Still, it may still not be cracked that the past that should have been settled "Keri" is now flashing back.

Regret strikes me now that I can't escape.

I want to be strong like him.

Alice was mistaken for being stronger. Once again, it was noticed that it had collapsed so easily.

(I didn't get through the past)

No, no... I didn't get through it. I was hiding the past. I just covered it in myself, covered it with a thin cloth.

That's why I was easily exposed. No, you don't have to wander off if you're just exposed.

What was done in that laboratory, and what happened and my parents died?

I heard and understood everything about it..........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

There was hatred for all the culprits, for the person from whom it began. The hatred did exist in Alice. It was the emotion we were hiding together.

And when I realized that...

"You can't run away as long as he's alive."

Alice made one monologue in the dark room.

You can't forget the past. Alice doesn't want that either.

At the same time, I had an itch that I couldn't do anything about. So I guess we have to face the past first.

Alice's eyelids, who had so decided, were heavily closed.

The next morning, earlier than usual, too soon.

Alice visited when people still looked sparse outside.

"Fast!!

"Eh heh... I fell asleep early yesterday, so I woke up early"

Als doesn't even hide the annoying smell as usual from Alice, who gives her tongue plenty of shit about yesterday.

It doesn't just mean time is early for Ars, it means it was yesterday today.

Alice glanced back at him with a serious margin of aberration, going up without a problem with that.

"Wait a minute..."

Als, who had already done the work, closed the LCD screen and glanced at Loki, who was supporting breakfast.

"Loki, outside......" broke the word blocking him on the way up.

"Wait, I want you to ask Loki, too."

"Right."

Loki interrupted her dominance with an unexpected face. Add a cup of tea for one person who joined as it was.

The three surround the table.

Alice takes a big, deep breath and puts her hands on her chest.

(It's okay)

So I opened my mouth.

"That was when I was seven..."

Alice finished talking down the street while holding on. Dig it up to decide the past.

Ars did not change one complexion and asked without pinching his mouth. Loki had also pierced her faceless expression, but her eyes opened when the researcher's name was mentioned.

Luckily, you couldn't afford to notice Alice.

A face like how much the possession fell off after everything we talked about.

"I see, now we have a point"

"I think the experiment at the time caused the magic to go crazy."

Alice replied bitterly.

"[Element Factor Segregation Plan], that's a name I can't figure out how it's a useful study"

"Oh, and you're a good subject."

Glimpse of Loki and stray from the conversation.

It is also natural to doubt that with such a past, Ars's research is well undertaken, albeit for his own sake.

"There was a settlement in me, but the injection didn't seem to work. Besides, the experiment itself was a means of meeting parents, so maybe they weren't so resistant."

"Is that what this is about?"

Alice laughs more blankly at him.

Ars had never even seen his parents' faces, so it was a reason he didn't know.

But Loki has some similarities. I wouldn't even say that I was exposed to the irrationality of the world, but it was similar.

I have no sympathy. Still, I might have felt something like fellowship. Loki was alive until now because she had Ars.

I'm sure Alice had someone to support her in something, too.

At this point it turns out that she is irrelevant to the directive that Ars received.

I won't let her know that. Oh, and because it's a classified case that we can't talk about on the one hand in Ars. Even if she wants revenge. This is Ars' job.

"Probably, but the defect wasn't meant to be."

"What do you mean?

"I guess the results of the experiment are missing. That was an accident. Whether it was an appropriate experiment or not, Alice would be the only one in an experiment with a few people."

Alice paled her face. It wasn't bad luck. It was a sorry story.

"Oh no... how could it just be me"

But Ars continues without a problem.

"Influencing and missing magic information in the first place is theoretically impossible in itself."

If we bring transformation to the magic nucleus itself supplied from the heart, we can't stand the load and survival is unrealistic.

Now, if magic that can interfere with magic is possible, it is less realistic.

It would be good to rewrite magic information in your body and your self would collapse, and you would be desperate after a high probability of rejection.

Ars supplied magic in Loki's body before, but in this case, he did not interfere with the source simply by putting it in an empty vessel, so he did not rewrite it. Still, the only reason I was concerned was rejection.

"Bad luck, but luck"

――――

I know it was bad, but there shouldn't be a single good element.

Alice was taken aback and couldn't carry on two sentences.

It was Loki who followed that into question.

"What's good about it?

"Hmm, I'd like you to think a little bit about that."

"What!!

As for Alice, she felt like straw. If you have the slightest bit of luck in your unhappy and worst past...

Ars himself said something contradictory.

Because I said that it would not be fair if the information I learned in the course of my research was not disclosed.

"Can I ask you why you can't tell me?

"Absolutely. If I tell you this, you could be a subject of experiments again. No, not exactly."

Answers that don't get guidelines.

The inclusion of the word subject in it made sense.

Ars thinks it's for his own good.

"That said, it's Alice who decides. So I need you to do it again."

"Yeah."

I was honestly happy with the good stuff or confused.

If it's true, I think it's more detailed information, but it doesn't necessarily mean that something like trauma will not recur again in Alice, the student.

I guess I should just do the minimal confirmation and then tell Alice.

"Wait a minute."

That said, Ars walks into the bedroom and comes out with a black case.

"What's that?

Ask the creepy look with your fingers, but Alice must have already seen this too.

It's my AWR.

――

"Why AWR?

Spreading it on his desk, he lifted a swing of knife from inside.

"I'll explain later. Let it pass its magic first."

Hold the sheath backwards and give the pattern to Alice.

When I grab it by surprise, I slip myself out of the sheath with Ars.

The difference with extracurricular classes is that I pulled the chain as it was. About 10 m of chains were scattered from the knife into the room.

"Fine, I don't mind just granting it as usual"

"Okay."

Squeeze with both hands and purposefully close to your eyes to concentrate.

Loki watches in surprise behind it, but it was only a short while before the seed was revealed.

Magic travels from the knife to the chain.

"All right, that's enough."

"Hmm? Yeah."

Precisely in the middle of granting, I couldn't cover all of the stretched chains, but I could still get enough confirmation.

"Dear Ars, what have you figured out now"

"This is it."

Ars lifted the ring of the chain, which was the only one to have reacted.

"Sure, only that part seems to have had a reaction to the magic formula, but isn't that because it was aptitude?

"Exactly. So which lineage do you think this magic ceremony is?

There are two respondents to this question.

"I'm a light system, so it's not light?

"Too bad I can't just use the elements."

――――

I guess that denial alone showed that it wasn't just a matter of time. That said, I'm not willing to wait until I hit it.

Because Ars and the Governor are the only ones who can guess.

"So you mean other pedigrees? But I tried all the streets."

"You were a little mean, not exactly any lineage. I'm telling you, don't be prepared to say anything else."

Even against Loki.

The two nod strangely. The face was such that I wanted to know what was in it like a child who had eaten the deposit more than I could say about it being more sensitive.

Ars proceeds anxiously wondering if he knows.

"Well, look, the magic formula that reacted to Alice's magic is out of line. I call it unsystematic..."

…………

"Master Ars, are you out of line?

Everything defined as magic is included in the lineage. Loki is also in the lightning system, Tesphere is in the ice system, Alice is in the light system and so on.

"I thought I was the only magician known as Unorganized."

――――

Naturally I was surprised by this cumming out. I keep an eye out with a face like I've never seen Loki before.

But I can tell you it was quick to rebuild. In a different way.

"Dear Ars, I'm not more than happy that you revealed to me, my partner... okay?

Loki looks anxiously at me like a peep.

That won't be possible either. The magic pry is basically a waste of time. Its secrecy is high if you are also a single magician. In the meantime, the fact that the existing phylogenetic system can be rocked from the ground up is something that cannot be safely spoken of.

But...

"You're gonna be okay."

I just darken my anxiety to Ars, who decides without hesitation.

I rarely tried to point out that it might not be a little frivolous, at that time.

"If you two would."

…………

The almost uttered word goes back the way it came. Getting put back. Because - the meaning of trust fills my chest so much.

"Okay. If so, I swear I will not speak out for this life to be exhausted, no matter what the torture."

"Ah, ah... but that's it..."

I couldn't even tell you not to take it seriously. There's just nothing heavier than life. In fact, no one will be able to get a hold of Ars even if he is known for his lack of lineage.

but the only thing I can resist is deciding that I didn't take such an oath of sincerity.

"I'll never tell you, either."

"Naturally. I'm not threatening you, but you're special about yourself."

Ugh, and Alice was cut off by her butt blush, but in her case, she can't be as safe as Ars.
