Suddenly, no one uttered a word.
He's Zahr. Six years ago, a man who was hostile to me.
The man stood there covering me.
"... sorry, but I'm not letting this guy be a wise man"
"Who, you"
"Zahr. I don't remember this guy, but he's the man who was my best friend"
... best friend?
What are you talking about?
This guy cut me and the wound is still on my arm.
I don't resent it, but it would be too much to be wary of.
"Why, you guys!?
"We'll talk later. We're getting away now."
That's all Zahr says, he jumps out of the cathedral with me beside him and runs through the castle.
His run is several times faster than mine, and he thrusts like a wind out.
"Zahr, what do you mean you and I are best friends!?
"... I can't go into details right now. If I were to say just one thing, your power is not magic, it's a spell."
"What are you talking about? Spells!?"
... this power of mine is the spell?
Then what the hell are you paying for?
No way, maybe......
"... my, memory?
Zahr nods without saying anything.
... That can't be right. I have memories of my past life...
... Wait, speaking of which, what's my previous name?
And how did I become a wise man? Besides, who put the seal on you?
When I realize that, it flashes my memory of what they thought was beautifully connected until now.
... Could this be what Cyan was saying about bad power?
"I'm lying, I'm lying!
"I don't even know what's true or false. But this word belongs to Bethenburg. Let's just say it's credible."
"... you know Bettenburg?
"Oh. I'll wait in front of the castle"
Zahr wields the sword with one hand, knocking down the looming soldiers.
But no matter how much they knocked me down, it was enough to make my body remember my fears.
"Zahr, what is your purpose!? Why did you help me!?
"Know what? I just came to repay your debt. Ask Bettenburg what to do."
"Hmm? What the hell are you talking about?!?
"Do you think we can afford to be talking?
With that word, Zahr's legs become faster even more.
Magic flames force us to cut our way, run through the castle, and keep running through the town.
And when I finally thought I could get out of town, Sophia stood in front of me pulling out her sword.
"Please stop. Sage belongs here."
"Sophia, I..."
"Shut up. We're not free enough to go along with the nonsense of God and such"
"It is the wise man himself who decides that."
... Sophia calls me a wise man, too?
I'm happy that magic can be used. But I'm sorry I became a demon for that.
So now......
"Sophia, get out of the way. I don't want to be a wise man."
"If it will, it's not an issue within. The time has come. Many people want it, too."
"... is that Sophia too?
"My will has nothing to do with it. The will of the people is what I believe."
That's all I'm saying, she turns to the sword and points the tip of the sword this way.
But it's hard to stand in front of us, blocked by the flames that erupt from our feet.
"Out of the way. I don't have time to hear your words."
"Really? If you can save the conversation, as long as you want."
"... you don't understand the meaning of the word"
"Then let me tell you"
Sophia laughs cously, then waves her sword towards this way.
And it became a strong wind, and the flames that were holding it back, which became the walls of the way to go, vanished instantly.
"No way, that's......!
"It's magic. Cancel magic, magic that only the brave can use. Did you enjoy it?
"Damn it, Lazareth! Can you fight till time!?
"Huh? Ah, oh!
Zahr asks for an answer. No, let go of the hand he was spinning at me and drop it to the ground.
I got that shock from my chest, so the puke I was putting up with for a moment was about to come out of my mouth.
I take a bandage wrapped to stop the bleeding and wrap it around my arm.
If you keep hardening, this broken arm should also be used.
But I'm Sophia...
"Sorry, Zahr. I knew I couldn't fight."
"... what are you going to do. You want to be a god?
"No. Because Sophia..."
"I'm the first girl I've ever been in love with."
I'll wrap my bandages tight and go back to Zahr.
... I can't hurt her. It may be called sweet, but I still can't.
"... are you stupid? Why aren't you trying to fight!?
"I told you. I like Sophia. So I can't fight."
"What are you...!
"It could be on its own. Maybe I am. But I can't. That's all I can't do."
Out-of-place words freeze the place.
... At that time, it was Sophia who opened her mouth for the first time.
"... sorry, I can't respond to that word right now"
"Oh well. Right. I don't care if you decide not to listen to this shitty confession."
At the same time as I finish my words, Zahr sticks his back on a little bit.
... maybe I've earned up to the hour.
Put your hands on my shoulder and start checking the back.
And at the same time that I could hear the carriage from afar, Zahr ran out faster than earlier.
At that time, there was a word spilled from Sofia's mouth.
"Lazareth, I..."
I can't hear you after that.
We jumped out of town and jumped straight into the carriage, inhibited by the cleavage of the wind.
"Guys, did you get in?!?
"Oh, Mr. Mentila! Get me out of here, quick!
"You don't have to tell me!
Mentila, unchanged from six years ago, sat on your stand and peered at this one.
And in the back of the carriage, Bettenburg was riding the carriage as he fumbled the monocle.
