The Magus of Genesis

Episode 19: Time Left

"Oh no - I hope you've already gone out of your way to watch too much dancing. This is just a cold."

I told Lynn and I, who came to visit with fruit, that while lying in bed, the water color was several times as healthy as I had imagined.

"By and large, both Dr. Nina and Yu are overprotective. Even the fever isn't that good, is it?

Look, and she takes Lynn's hand and puts it on her forehead perfectly.

"Really. Looks like you don't have that much heat."

Lynn looked back at me and reported so with an indescribable look.

"I'll touch the senses too, huh?

"… No, I won't."

I shake my head to the side in a watery color with a pranky smile.

I didn't have to do that, but being a Fire Dragon, I had an accurate idea of her temperature.

The thermometer hasn't been invented yet, so it's a meaningless number to pass on to anyone else, but in light of previous life's standards... is it about seven degrees and two minutes?

No matter what you think, it's slightly feverish.

Nina also said it was just a cold, and I'm sure there's no mistake in that view.

I'm so healthy that I want to think that what Nina was saying is also a mistake of some kind.

But I noticed.

To the difference between the water color when we just met and her now.

There is no shade in the beauty of the girl who was young and adorable.

However, the beauty in front of me had grown into a woman who could be called a girl.

I thought it was simply because I had a baby and I succeeded.

Because I grew up spiritually… or because of the hard work of parenting.

But no.

She's... she's old. Just like humans.

I'm sure it's no longer immortality. Intuitively, I realized that.

"You don't have to worry so much."

To my dismay, the water color said in a relaxed tone.

"Not so soon, I won't die."

You noticed, you were there.

"Sense is someone you don't lie to."

I couldn't even answer her. I laughed at her face, and the water color was couscous.

"Somehow, I felt that way. When I gave birth to Yuka, I thought something had changed in me. I didn't know what it was... and I still don't know what it is."

To her words, I remembered my previous life's knowledge.

I'm talking about the Spirit of Water, Undine.

Many of them supposedly take on the appearance of beautiful women, many stories of sadness with humans remain. Undine, a soulless spirit, says he gains his soul by bonding with men.

Something similar to that may happen to the elves. Being immortal, they had always thought that they were closer to spirits than creatures.

"But yeah. I have no regrets about Atashi. I'm sure I gave birth to Yuka even if I knew it would happen in advance."

Put your hand gently on your belly, says the water color.

'Cause I'm so happy.

The soft, laughing, watery look was the most beautiful I've ever seen.

- Like this, you were a laughing child.

"Besides... it might be a good idea for a young man who's only been alive a little over a hundred years to tell a big senior, but it's not always a good thing to live long."

I laughed at the emotion, and the color of the water sneered.

"The decade spent in this village was much more intense than it had been a hundred years before… because it was fulfilling"

I guess so, I guess.

The lives of the elves are more relaxing than the trees.

No need to plow fields or chase prey around every day, just days living in the woods.

I know that's one ideal place, but anything is too boring.

Not just the water color, but the elves who came to the village of Hiiro align their mouths that human life is exciting and dizzying. Most of them go back to the woods in a few years, like Mr. Purple, without keeping up with that glamour.

"The last five years have been particularly intense."

to a watery color with a bitter, but invincible smile.

I thought maybe this kid got tougher than anyone in the village.

"... hey, Seisei"

Cut up the sympathy early, on the way home.

Lynn listened with a grunting voice as she flew softly next to me.

"Seisei is......... what do you think?

"You mean the water color?

Kokon, Lynn nods.

"That's true………………"

I exhaled deeply, thought a little… and answered.

"Just a little bit, I think I envy you"

"Envious?"

I guess it was a word I didn't even think about. Lynn blinks her eyes with a pussy.

"I can spend the same amount of time with the person I like and live the same way. And I can leave what follows. It's probably the happiest thing in the world."

Neither is what I could have done.

"Same time..."

Lynn squeaks in her mouth and thinks of something.

"…… Ah!

I thought so, and suddenly I raised my voice as if I realized something.

"What's going on?

"Hey, anything... anything!

Lynn shakes her head, but her temperature suddenly rises. Mermaids tend to see their body temperature rise slightly lower than people.

"The fever is rising. Didn't you get a watery cold?

When I put my hand on Lynn's forehead, it's still hot. It's not as sick as it sounds yet, but I guess I've never been over to be careful.

"Not at all, I'm fine, so... just..."

Lynn said something, staring at my face. What I thought was unusual for her to say pompous.

"It's just... I just thought this is what Utai was saying"

"Utah?

My breasts groan at the nostalgic name that came out of Lynn's mouth.

Utai, Lynn's great-grandmother and the longest mermaid woman I've dealt with.

"Two very nice things and one very hard thing come together," he said.

Speaking of which, you said that. It was definitely just before she died.

What did Lynn say to that?

"Hey, Seiko. I'm going to travel again when I can walk on human legs."

"On a journey?

Lynn accidentally said that before I pulled my memory out.

"I could do what I wanted."

"That's more than a magic study that transforms into a dragon?

Unexpectedly, Lynn gets a little lost, but snorts.

Oh. Yes, I did.

At that time, Utai told Lynn to behave as she pleases.

Lynn said she already did.

Then I miss her, but I guess I should let her do what she thinks too.

"… ok. But you're coming home, aren't you?

"Yeah, that's for sure."

I stroke my chest down relieved by the joyful phosphorus.

Utai and I have been dating for almost five hundred years, but we didn't live together.

In terms of time spent together, Lynn would be much longer.

On the contrary…… not much more than a hundred and forty years after we met.

Thirty years along the way, a hundred and ten years of dating, even considering I was on a journey.

With the exception of Nina, it will mean the person you have been dealing with for the longest time.

I may miss her more than I thought I would be unable to hear her bright and unyielding voice.

"This time, I will contact you regularly."

Lynn tells me like she panicked when she saw the expression and guessed my mood like that.

"I don't know. Lynn, that's a pretty forgettable sign."

"Ugh... I'm fine."

Is she conscious, even as she raised her groaning voice, she took a book out of the bag she lowered to her waist.

"I'll make sure you don't forget the book I gave you."

That's for sure, fifteen years ago. It was the first book on the red leather cover that I ever spelled out a piece of paper.

I thought it was perfect when I made it, but now that I see it, it is mostly sweet to make and the paper is thick.

"You still have it."

Speaking of which, I think I saw it once five or six years ago.

"Yeah. I'll write it right down. Contact Shisei…………………………. That's it!

When she writes a note sarah on the first page, she closes the book satisfactorily and puts it back in her bag. I guess I haven't used it much rather than having a good product. If I wrote something every day, it would bury me in no time.

"Don't forget what you wrote."

"Ugh... yeah. Okay… maybe."

I laughed at Lynn for not answering my confidence.
