The Struggle of Returning to The Other World

"Rayburn......, how did you get here"

Master Ardina turned his eyes to him with a strong vigilance.

From Mr. Rayburn's expression, I can't read anything emotional.

In this darkness, the ball of light created by the surgery brought up his figure in blur, and its cold standing was even felt mysterious.

I don't see Mr. Sotini, who should have refrained from doing so across the door.

No way, did Mr. Rayburn do something to you? Or conversely, did she lead him here?

I wonder where she's doing now. The air, which I want to ask, but which is not even permissible to hang around, dominates this place and I can't move.

"That was totally unexpected."

Mr. Rayburn muttered quietly.

"Most alarming, I didn't know it was you, not Sotini"

I tremble at the words abandoned in abomination.

As soon as Mr. Rayburn's cold eyes shot me straight through, I clearly understood who he was pointing his fierce hatred at.

"I didn't think you were, like, a former witch halutia. Yume, I didn't even think about it. Totally, really, this, little girl. Now you can't even see the shard of divinity, just a boring daughter who has been tormenting Master Ardina for a long time."

One step, Mr. Rayburn took the walk.

Neither can I. And Lady Ardina.

I felt a wretched sensation seeping out of him with my skin.

"Very unforgivable."

Mr. Rayburn's eyes glowed suspiciously.

"- Wait, Rayburn. What the hell are you thinking?

Master Ardina took control of it with a temperamental voice to his appearance, which went too far off track.

That cool voice was about to capture me in Mr. Rayburn's eyes, and I somehow regain my sanity. But it is also true that fear is mixed with her voice. Will she be able to stop Mr. Rayburn?

"What do you mean,"

Mr. Rayburn, just a little, grinned.

It would never be my fault or anything like that that I feel my eyes aren't laughing though.

"I always think best of Master Ardina. There is no one else who desires a world of peace brought about by your power more than I do. You're all mine. Something that must not happen, such as being confused by a boring little man."

Scary.

I'm scared.

But I can't move.

"Whoever gets in your way, I'll get rid of all of this."

At the same time as that word, Mr. Rayburn's right hand lifted.

It's too late for that.

My body was easily lifted by the intense stream of air rising from the ground.

My legs float in the universe, my neck, strangled.

- Strong visibility. But that sense of despair was much more powerful than when I was facing him that night.

"Stop it, Rayburn!

A similar voice was raised to Master Ardina's screams, and at the same time Mr. Rayburn's technique seemed to have been quashed.

A much lighter body collapses to the ground without defying gravity.

I supported my rolling body with both arms and stirred it in hard.

"I don't want this!

"Outside your heart, Master Ardina."

Another step, Mr. Rayburn walked over here.

"I've always been on your side, and I've come to serve you. I am aware of all your suffering and grief. - Didn't your seed of suffering always lie in the halutia of the former witch? You are a wonderful man. Nevertheless, you will never acknowledge its rare help on your own. On the contrary, it always broke my heart that the former witch was so much better."

How about that, Mr. Rayburn pointed at me still shrinking.

"The superior ex-witch and the others are like this. She's a little girl who can't do anything and just crawls on the ground. If you say you are better than Master Ardina, you can find a distortion of the 'pulse' in one breath and make it look right, but you can't do it either"

"Stop, Rayburn"

Master Ardina knelt at my side and turned to Mr. Rayburn to protect me.

"It would be this me, not Master Halutia, who can't correct the distortion of 'temperatures'. I'm a powerless witch who can't live up to your expectations. That's the truth."

"No, you can. I was just waiting for the hour."

"I can't, I can't. I myself kept running away and came this far without having a proper eye for that fact. At the end of the sentence, guilty enough to re-summon the witches of the other world... Still, I finally wanted to embrace myself like that."

Master Ardina's desperate voice did not seem to reach Mr. Rayburn.

He approaches us even closer without showing any stray.

Finally, coming to our sight, Mr. Rayburn took Master Ardina's hand to mercy and rose her on her knees.

"You are special. Leave you, there is no one else worthy of a witch. Too many people don't understand that. There is no need for you to match them. If you do that, you will be disgraced by the Holy One."

"Please, Rayburn... get back to your sanity"

Master Ardina took a step backwards, holding his hand.

Exactly, Mr. Rayburn, was insane.

"Come on, fools of things, it's time to let them know. How special you are. In a hurry, they will finally understand now. How honorable is the only one who can correct a distorted 'temper'. The fools can barely understand unless they give them miracles in a visible way."

"... Rayburn. What are you talking about?

Finally, Master Ardina's voice shook clearly.

"So let me show you the 'chi' flow correctly, I said. If you do, you will understand how wonderful Ardina is, no matter how many sensible little things"

"You're telling me you can't?

"I thought I could. I've been watching over you the whole time. This is what I say, so no doubt about it. We are sure that we will be able to provide meals to show" miracles "to those who descend."

"... meals?

"Oh, you're totally cold in the night dew. Looks like you're shaking a little. Clean everything up early and get back to your warm room as soon as possible."

"Don't distract me. Listen to me properly."

"Of course I'm listening. I don't want to hear a word from you."

"Then answer me. Hey, that's my mistake, isn't it?

Master Ardina's voice is painted with despair.

"Are you the one who molested the 'sanctuary'?

In response to that inquiry, Mr. Rayburn returned the smile of grace.

That was the answer, above all.

"You - what are you thinking?"

"All I'm thinking is always about Master Ardina"

"When, what do you say I wanted!?

"I know everything about you, even if you don't say so."

"I don't want this!

Lady Ardina twisted herself to pull through her right hand, which remained gripped by Mr. Rayburn.

But Mr. Rayburn won't let go of that hand.

"Master Ardina, run."

In the meantime, I rushed into Mr. Rayburn with selflessness and set myself up to hit him.

Apparently it was outside the mosquito nets, such as my presence, and Mr. Rayburn was struck by an unexpected shock, which made his body twitch. In that gap, Master Ardina distanced herself from Mr. Rayburn.

"This little girl."

Lifting his eyebrows at once, Mr. Rayburn, shaped like a demon, shakes me off as I cling to his hips.

The shock made me shine on the spot, but it wasn't long either. Because Mr. Rayburn, who left it to his anger to use his magic, hung him up in the air again. And as it were, I thought my body would be torn apart, not by analogy or anything. It hurts like a cancer and a crack in the head, and I can't breathe. I groaned in exactly a wandering situation where it would be easier if my consciousness flew away, but I couldn't do it either.

"Stop, stop! Let her go!

I guess the reason I'm not being torn apart is because Master Ardina is trying to counter Mr. Rayburn's technique. Her magic interferes, and Mr. Rayburn's skill fails to show his true command. On the contrary, however, with the power of Master Ardina today, it does not seem possible to completely withdraw Mr. Rayburn.

Is the magician's skill greatly influenced by the spirit of the times?

In such a shocking situation, there was no way Master Ardina could have remained calm and countered Mr. Rayburn.

"Dear Ardina, you are too kind."

At that time, Mr. Rayburn's grim eyes softened slightly.

The magic that was hoisting me scattered, and I roll to the ground again. Without even looking at me like that, Mr. Rayburn faced Lady Ardina again.

"I didn't know even this little girl who kept tormenting you would try to save you. The kindness is very honorable. But sometimes we also need to be ruthless.... Rest assured. I'll take care of all the shadows."

Mr. Rayburn put his right hand around Master Ardina.

"Now just, please, sleep. By the time I wake up, this little girl will never bother you again."

"Les."

Lady Ardina, who tried to call his name, didn't even come true and collapsed on the spot.

I just had to watch that series of streams without even being able to raise my voice.

Pity.

I can't do anything at a time like this.

Mr. Rayburn is right, because he's just a little girl.

As it is, Mr. Rayburn will kill me. We have to run. But how. And the bracelet Mr. Ordis gave me. No. We have known from the beginning that within a strictly conjunctural 'sanctuary', its effectiveness cannot be exercised.

"Mr. Rayburn, please stop. Didn't Ardina say she didn't want this?"

Oh, what a waste of credit.

Even Master Ardina's voice could barely reach him, but there is no way my words could have translated Mr. Rayburn's resolve.

"Even if you don't want it, if it's necessary, I won't hesitate. If it's for her, I'll do it, whether it's unwanted or not."

Unsurprisingly, the seeping response of a strong will returned, and I increasingly clogged the words.

Totally, crazy, I thought.

Mr. Rayburn, who said it was for Master Ardina, deliberately defiled the 'Sanctuary' and is now trying to kill me, a former witch. Whoever sees it, the behavior is that of a madman.

Yet he had a definite will.

Seriously, I think this is going to be good for Master Ardina.

"For Master Ardina's sake, die. Former Witch Halutia"

Mr. Rayburn knelt right at my side, still walking in, kneeling his right hand in front of his face.
