The Magus of Genesis

Episode 26: Water Death/Mizuiro's Demise

"Aah…… Sense…… I'm sorry……… on purpose………"

As he lay buried in the cushion, the water color said in a mosquito-like voice.

Thinly opened eyes are out of focus, just staring at the void.

I found out she wasn't that long, even if she didn't have the medical attention, like Nina did.

"Water colour......"

I didn't know what to say, I knelt down and just shook her hand.

So much so that those palms, covered in wrinkles and dry with crust, thought that they might collapse together.

"Atashi... There's only one thing I have to apologize to Sense for..."

"…… What?

I can't miss hearing her words, every word of it, and I'm clear.

It was such a slight tone of voice that it was likely to be distorted by the sound of exhalation if it did not.

"Atashi's, Research Themes…"

With this, Leo will be able to establish himself as the fourth faction in the current three-ways succession war.

Don't forget, her research theme. The quest for magic itself, the quest for truth.

Indeed, if she had stepped into it with an infinite lifespan, how much would she have contributed to the advancement of civilization? But that's not like apologizing...

"That... I didn't mean it at all."

Eh.

"Something big... I wanted to say something big... and then I wanted to stick with Yu..."

Yes, it was... No, if you do say so, it didn't achieve much compared to the nobility of the theme, but less than a decade after I got into college, Yuka was born, and I was wondering if I could help...

Is that so... You didn't mean it in the first place...

"I don't know... if it's a sensei, it's a prospect……, right?"

I laugh at the water color without strength.

Sorry, I didn't realize...

"... what are you talking about, water color. You've done your research beautifully."

While I was quite shocked inside, my mouth was spinning nature and words.

"Magic is this world itself. It is exercised willingly."

I said, shaking my watery hand. I guess I didn't have to think about it because that's what I meant.

"You left your will and made a whole world. It's the greatest and most honorable magic in the world that neither I nor Nina have ever used."

"... thank you..."

How did she receive it? From the watery eyeballs, a glimmer of tears flows down.

It was then three days later that the water took my breath away so that I could sleep.

"Uhhhhhhh! Uggh, higg...... ahhhhhhhh!

As the cry echoes, the water-colored ashes baked and cleansed by my flames are collected.

Put half of that in this village. It was her wish to return the other half to the elf forest.

"Uh-oh! Ugh, gush, ahhhhhhhh!

"Yuka. Don't let it get you down."

"Yeah...... okay. I've been ready for a long time... and, Mother, she passed away in peace like she was going to sleep... and I'm sure she'll be flirting with Father again by now."

I thumped Yuka's shoulder, answering that to her temperament, and I turned to the two people lined up next to her.

"Ruffle, tier. It will be hard for you too…………………"

"Yeah……………."

"Well, I'm sad, I'm sad."

The two Titans and the Little Fairy looked at each other with a complex expression.

Well, I know how you feel.

"Why, you're dead. Whoa, whoa!

I looked at her, following the surrounding gaze that could be pointed at unexpectedly.

The place where the ashes are buried, swallowing and crying like a seedling tree instead of a tomb marker, looking like a flock of blue.

She's not supposed to interact with people again in the Elf Forest because that's what I was expecting.

"... Was that guy close to the water color?

Our emotions were aggregated by Lynn's leaky twinks.

Even when I came here before, I don't remember any particular interaction. Such a herd of blue is crying more sadly than anyone else in this room. Because of this, I somehow had trouble with the place of emotion, or I could not cry.

"No, I've hardly ever talked about it."

Then the herd shrugged, but said so lightly.

"Then why are you crying!

"Because the water color is a companion born in the same forest. If your people die, it's a sad decision."

To Tia's scratch, Herd Blue answers that as normal. We were unwittingly stuck in words at that attitude where we could not even feel a single suspicion about ourselves.

"Yeah, that's the guy, the herd blue."

Like a shudder...... but somewhere just a little proud, Nina said.

"Stupid, frivolous, insensitive, no thoughts... but no thoughts, so I mean it all the time, I'm serious about who I am, and it doesn't matter to him what someone decides to do"

Naturally, no elves have come to the woods other than the herd blue. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the water color was abandoned by them. Only one of them is mourning the watercolor death from the bottom of his heart.

"I think I finally know why you've always been my best friend."

"What? Who's my best friend? Don't say anything bad about people."

When it comes to smudging, Nina answered that extraordinarily. That's crazy......
