The Magus of Genesis

White.

White spread on one side.

Among the sights filled with pure white, only one point, red was present.

The red slowly spreads.

What the hell is that red...?

I can try to concentrate my eyes in a blurry vision, but it doesn't work. But while I was really concerned about the red, I could see the white outline.

More pure white, in white on one side.

I have arms, legs, head. It was a creature's silhouette.

The moment I recognize that, my vision clears up.

Blood.

That red, it flows out of the dragon, blood.

It overflows and dyes the surrounding area red.

――――

I tried to scream, but there was no voice.

An arrow I fired shot through the white dragon's heart.

"!"

I jumped up and looked around with confused consciousness.

The heart pulses like an early bell and the sweat seeps gently.

"What's the matter…………?

I guess I woke up with my movements. I finally returned to Nina's voice.

"No, nothing... I just had a weird dream"

"Yes..."

Answering that, are you convinced Nina closes her eyes again?

But... Was it really a dream?

The trembling response of the bow that unleashes the arrow still leaves signs of the life of the lost dragon in me as a real feeling.

Speaking of white dragons, all I know is the rebirth of Eye. But I couldn't tell if that white dragon was an eye from the blurry look I had dreamed of.

But that bow. I wonder if the bow I dreamed of was the Dragon Lin bow that Fee used to make for me.

In the end, bows are less popular in the village of Hiiro, and the only Dragon Lin bow made is that one. It was also given to the bowman from the village outside, and I don't know what happened afterwards. Perhaps the famous man has already died of life expectancy.

In my dreams, I did feel the tremor of a bow shooting an arrow, but I didn't see the bow itself. This is unnatural if you were looking at it from the archer's point of view, but if you were looking at it from the bow's point of view, you'd be convinced.

Magically, there's still a connection between me and that bow. It's the same thing as communication magic using scales, but the connection is deeper for a large amount of use. It's no surprise that things I've experienced have been passed on to me...... I feel it.

… should I check with Eye?

Give me the scales, and I said I'd come back. But the promise was not fulfilled, and I did not contact him. I haven't heard from them either.

I stared at Nina, resting easily on the side.

At that time. Regardless of the circumstances and conditions, I chose her to continue to love me beside the woman I once loved. In itself, there is no regret.

…… but.

"One is…… because it is too rusty"

Is that white dragon who murmured so much still alone? Thinking about it, my chest was bruised asexually.

"Speaking of which, they say White Dragon was fought at Sioux's, Doctor."

It was from an unexpected side months after that that that I heard such a story.

"Yuki, when was that?

"Uh, excuse me, that's it...... just because you're quite a distance from Sioux. Couldn't it have been at least a couple of months ago?"

Yuki came to Hiiro Village recently after he saw his parents die of life expectancy. After Yuka fell, so did Gene in a few months to follow. I've lived more than seventy years since Yuki was born, so let's just say I'm a big student.

"They say it was a woman called Rashida from Zhu Bow who knocked him down...... ok, over"

Saying so, Yuki jumps off the roof. Cut the dragonfly once and with little noise she stepped down to the ground.

"Thank you, I'll ask again."

"Yes, thank you every time! Even so, there was little I could do because the original was well made."

Yuki laughs furiously when she receives the money from me to fix the roof.

What she chose was not a path to fight with a sword, but a craftsman waving a hammer to build and repair buildings.

"So if you need anything else, please call me right away!

It has not been a year since I joined the artisan guild at Ruffle's, but I have often heard that my arms have a good reputation. I asked her to fix the house so often. That's just not to say that she has good arms, or that she has eyes because she's Yuka's daughter.

"…… I knew you looked just like me."

Nina squeaks after Yuki disappears. I snorted at it, too.

- As I predicted, she did become a beauty. That would be a great pleasure...

Yuki looked too much like her. Not to my mother Yuka. To Yuki, who was once my wife.

Indeed, originally, Yuka had an atmosphere somewhere similar to that of Yuki. He's also a distant relative, and it's possible he looks somewhat alike. If you say that, even the sword club, which grows up to be a big man like D'Arga, is still there now and then.

But... she's too similar.

No face, no outfit, no personality. Voices, tricks, habits, everything looks just like the yuki it once was.

… So, only a sense of distance to us is decidedly different.

For seventy years, I have lived in the village of Shirogane all my life, I am almost someone else.

You don't call me close to your brother, you don't talk to me in a shattered tone, you don't stick around to sweeten me. As one of the villagers living in the village of Hiiro, he treats me with moderation and respect.

This seemed like a pretty tough thing for Nina, not just me.

Even she felt like her sister about Yuki.

"Come back here."

Nina caught Kruseh's head sneaking off her seat.

"You know something, don't you?

"Ha, please let me go! Otherwise, I'll take every head off and run!

"It doesn't make sense to have a head to talk about only fleeing the body."

"Ah, well."

Cruse, who bursts into flashes, becomes quiet in contemplation of Nina's words.

"I thought it was strange. You know, every time we talk about this, it gets quiet. You usually stick your neck in anything."

"Ugh, Mr. Boulder Nina, are you expecting anything………"

I didn't know this detached neck would be a vendetta, prone to plunge into anything... etc. And while flying an undead joke, Cruse puts his residence right and turns back to me and Nina.

"Well, to sum up your story... it's probably Yuki's soul that was your father's wife that's in Yuki's body right now."

"What's the meaning of this?

No way. It's the same name. So it's not for any reason.

I didn't even think Yuki had been reincarnated, and me and Nina tilted their necks.

"Among the Yu sisters, originally, were two souls. It's strange - and that's what happened - but it doesn't seem to be particularly inconvenient, so I didn't care..."

It was my first ear. What Cruse calls Yuka's sister is Yuka.

She has never said that before...

And when I thought about it, it made me uncomfortable with my chest.

Really, would you have?

"At that time... when Mr. Yuki was born, my sister Yu asked me to." Can you put the soul inside me in this child? "I said I could, and I did."

"Wait. So what happened to the baby's soul?

Nina turns her sharp gaze to Cruse.

"Oh, that's okay. The soul of a newborn baby is like an empty vessel. There, all sorts of things... infused with love, experience, frustration, things that grow in vessels and contents. I just put the contents a little bit ahead of me, and he's Yuki, and at the same time, Yuki."

Somehow, I knew what Cruse was trying to say.

The idea that there are two kinds of souls also existed in the world of previous life. Soul (Kon) and Po (Haku) in Chinese Taoism and Bar and Car in Egyptian Mythology. If I were to say it, I guess the presence of the former Yuki soul and the new Yuki prince is now Yuki.

"Then why doesn't that kid remember us?

"Uh... maybe. Souls and memories are different things."

If you think that memory belongs to the prince, it's only logical that you don't remember the past.

"Sister Yu seems to have known how to make her memories pass on..."

As the bat looked bad, Cruse glanced at Nina.

"In that circumstance, he said it might not be good for anyone to have memories…"

That's when Yuka realized that my relationship with Nina was changing.

That's why I kept my memories for myself.

'I am, even if this life is gone. All the time, all the time, by his side, I swear'

Behind my brain, the words Yuki once swore me at the wedding echo.

Oh.... Yuki, did you really do that to me?

Have you lived in the hearts of the swordmen and watched over me the whole time?

"I want to give back what my father entrusted me... in shape, as a sword ministry"

And someday they kept trying to give it back to Yuki.

"Thank you, Cruse."

Knowing that she was indisputably Yuki herself, my heart calmed down instead.

That newly-reborn kid has a new life.

That could be something you barely interact with me anymore.

Still, I can't wait to see that we met like this again.

From the bottom of my heart, I thought so.
