Chapter 258

[Gaiden] Windflower (7)

There is such a thing as a ‘fire-recording magic device’.

At the time of the occupation of Ophelis Hall, assistant professor Claire had a history of using it as she investigated the black screen.

Basically, it is a mechanical engineering tool managed by the Sylvanian Bachelor, and it is a device that is larger and heavier than the body of a strong man. I know that it is usually disassembled and divided into several bags to carry around.

Basically, there are a lot of instability as it uses the less-researched Aspect Magic Theory. It is a treasure among the treasures that all the high-quality materials were applied to ensure stability, and the best researchers in the bachelor’s department rushed in and repeated maintenance.

Basically, if you want to use this magic equipment, you must go through a strict internal examination by the Academic Committee.

As the academic budget for this device alone is enormous, it is practically the equivalent of carrying a huge mansion.

The reason that such a valuable item can be taken out of school is because of the name Ed Roth-Taylor after all.

It is because it is not a matter of taking out a single expensive tech equipment as it is a position where all consideration is received even within a Sylvanian bachelor.

“Basically, it’s hard to see the past more than a year no matter how much magic you put into flame recording magic. But if you can handle Aspect Magic, it’s a very different story.”

The place was a square in Torren Village.

It was because I had to get help from the villagers to install the magic equipment.

A large tech tool installed straight in the center of the square. Gears embedded here and there were spinning here and there, and a mysterious light was emanating from the magic marbles visible in the middle.

It took almost half a day to install, even with the help of the villagers.

“Claire’s assistant professors and bachelor’s staff had limitations when using it, but now that Aspect Magic has been studied to some extent, the performance is completely different. A few hundred years ago, you will be able to glimpse it.”

“Is that enough? Isn’t that truly groundbreaking? If you want to see any past, isn’t it possible to solve all the old unsolved cases... ”

“Of course, looking into the distant past is not so easy.”

How great it would be if things in the world were so easy.

If you want to let the flow of magic flow into the distant past, you need a suitable medium.

I wiped my hands and looked around.

Thankfully, the villagers of Torren, who helped with the installation, were sitting and watching, and Yenica was also sitting next to them and looking up at the equipment.

“Now that the basic information has been collected, where... Let’s check it one more time.”

I had a request from Yenica, but anyway, I’m here for academic research.

If I have to bring the right result, I won’t be able to buy my noodles either.

There was an existence that could serve as a medium.

I quietly lowered my head and gathered the magic of my body. So, when I gave the power, the spirit response of the whole body quickly heated up.

– Whoa!

A great wind blows, and a huge wolf appears and rises. That huge wind spirit, which exudes a sense of intimidation just by being there, made all the villagers shut their mouths.

– Kuung

Merylda stands dignifiedly in the wind from the alpine region with her pure white fur fluttering.

Everyone in the village swallowed their saliva and watched the scene. Most of them were the first to see the high spirit itself.

– ‘No, that’s ridiculous... the wolf... A wolf the size of a house... ‘

– ‘Shh... Be careful... I might get eaten... !’

For a moment, the villagers were so nervous that they couldn’t even breathe, and the wolf let out a snort like a sigh, and then wrapped itself around itself in the wind.

The shape of her body as it is manifested changes, and she lands on the floor as a girl with her white hair tied up.

[ In the end, things turn out like this. ]

Worthy Merylda ripped her skirt off, looked at Yenica and me, sighed heavily and shook her head.

[ Yes, if you use my magic power as a medium, you will be able to observe the flow of the past related to Sylvania to some extent. Because we shared a lot of magic power. ]

“You come out more cooperatively than I thought.”

[ What can I do to resist? will you guys listen to me ]

After glancing at the bewildered villagers, Merylda sighed again and turned around.

[ Because we can’t make Ed Naeul go back to Bachelor empty-handed. Yeah, I’ll have to get my hands on something. Check it out. What a terrible end the highest wind spirit faced. ]

Hearing that story, I raised the Aspect’s magic this time.

Leaving behind the villagers who were startled by the magical powers of the Holy Spirit that I had never seen in my life, I clenched my teeth and poured the dark and red magic that I had raised with all my might into my engineering supplies.

Next, dark red magic flowed from the flame recording device. I closed my eyes quietly, feeling the scenery engraved in my mind as if it were imprinted in my memory.

Kaine Palerover was just an ordinary girl, who loved to tend the occasional pansy flowers on the ridge.

She was the kind of girl who felt the satisfaction of life just by seeing the pansy flowers along the road swaying in the wind of the alpine region.

It’s not fully humanized yet, but at least it’s enough that I don’t have to let Katin manage the hut camp alone.

I lead my tired body around the camp, and I take a simple walk or check my magic. As his body improved, he began to dig up firewood and maintain the hut.

So, Tyr’kallax lived a very brief time as a human.

It may be only a fleeting moment in the long life of the highest spirit, but those brief memories are forever imprinted in Tir’kallax’s heart.

The person who was always by my side at that moment was a girl named Katin.

The girl who rolled up her arms when she did anything she did, and looked out for Tyr’kallax as if she was confident. An infinitely feeble, useless human girl with a life span of less than 100 years.

Even though he was well aware that tying more than necessary would only hurt his heart, Tyr’kallax followed the girl and thought of her.

As we walked along the ridge and looked at the mountains of Pulan together, I felt a unique sense of stability.

A mountain range at sunset. Tir’kallax liked the scenery.

Holding a picnic bag, humming and walking behind Katin, who staggers. The view of the mountain range looking down remains in her heart like a painting.

– ‘You know, the people of our village call the pansy flowers that bloom along the ridge like that the wind flower.’

– ‘Wind flower? You mean those pansies?’

– ‘Yes. As you know, the high mountains are always windy. When you see a pansy flower, it is always swaying back and forth with the wind.’

I sit on the fence by the roadside and enjoy the wind.

Tyr’kallax’s dark red hair, which was shaking at the same time, was also extending in the same direction as Katin’s.

– ‘You are looking in the direction of the wind.’

– ‘Is that so... Humans give such meanings... ‘

– ‘Ahaha, this might feel a bit useless to Tyr’kallax. It may be difficult to understand, but humans like to give meaningless meanings like that~. Look at this.’

Katin smiles brightly and jumps off the fence to see the pansy flowers blooming by the roadside.

The swaying pansy flowers seem to be looking in the direction of the wind.

– ‘There are such cute and pretty flowers. Then you will want to attach a story to something.’

– ‘Do you think that way too?’

– ‘Well, well. I’m giving it a different meaning.’

Katine looked at the swaying pansy flowers and then slowly closed her eyes.

– ‘The wind roams freely in the world, but a pansy flower stays still with its roots in the ground. I bury my feet in the soil like this and just stare blankly as the wind blows around the world.’

– ‘... ‘

– ‘The reason I shake my head towards the wind is probably because I wanted to play with the wind. But, if you uproot a flower, it dies.’

The feeling of a single flower looking up at the expansive expanse of the sky.

It is like the image of ordinary people who long for someone they can’t reach even if they reach out their hand, and who sincerely longs for someone of great height.

Is this the image of the crowd looking at someone with their roots in reality, who wanders around the world like the wind and freely expresses their will?

The pansy flowers in full bloom along the ridgeline seem to have gathered those longings and aspirations.

Is that Katin’s love for Tyr’kallax? Or is it the form of Yenica Palerover who is in love with Ed Roth Taylor?

Or both.

– ‘Will the curse be cured to some extent soon?’

– ‘Yes... ‘

– ‘If you remember, come and play~ Humans are, from the point of view of spirits, weak creatures who pick up and die if they don’t see it for a while. So don’t forget it, and be sure to come when you can!’

Tir’kallax burst into laughter at the sight of him pounding Tyr’kallax’s chest with such a sassy smile.

And I had to admit it. that he feels more than a bond with this girl.

Even though I knew that such a feeling was as poisonous to a spirit that lives almost forever, I had no choice but to admit it. Of all the humans she’s ever met, she’s never been more special than this girl.

Let’s remember now.

Tyr’kallax had no choice but to study himself like that. And he thought that doing so was the right answer.

Until you see that the Curse engraving of Flucurox is displayed on the back of Katin’s hand.

[ The reason the Curse of Flucurox was able to destroy a city was because it was contagious through magical powers. ]

I closed my eyes at Merylda’s voice whispering in my ear. The following story didn’t seem very pleasant.

I actually knew. Their story doesn’t end with a happy ending.

That’s why Merylda didn’t want to tell Yenica this story.
