A Misunderstood Mentor

The hand extended to Alice is out of reach.

The situation accelerated like a sprint.

In front of the cave, Alice and Makina pseudo confronted each other again.

''No!

I screamed as best I could, squeezing out my voice, but it didn't reach me.

He probably sees a little girl with no magic power as nothing more than a stone.

"Whew.

I resisted the urge to cry.

Her body as well as her thoughts were getting closer to that of a little girl.

'I have to stop it. Chiharu has to do something about it.'

I will never give up.

If he lost Karuna and then Alice, Takumi would surely be broken.

'You didn't think anyone would die, did you?

As the paraplegic and shattered pieces of the magic sword Karuna flew through the air, Makina-like said that.

''It's like being in lukewarm water. Even if a war breaks out, no one will be killed. We've never lived in such a sweet world.''

Alice doesn't speak a word.

She just stared at Karuna, who was scattered on the ground.

The reality is not so easy," she said. ─ Reality is not so sweet, it's not the same. The chalice has already been shattered.

As he speaks, the Makina-like figure changes.

The left half of the body, which is a machine, is covered with something like a wandering tube, and the right half of the Machina Doki's body is covered as if the body is being invaded.

And then the parts of the machine appeared one after another from the tube, and all of Makina-like's body became mechanized.

'The happy ending is gone,'

There was a thud, and the ground gouged.

Alice took a step forward and the ground crumbled under the weight of it.

Leaving the sound behind, Alice's fist is released into the machina-like body.

Serious in earnest.

It was Alice's original power, which she had never given out since she met Takumi, and which she had sealed away for a long time.

Are you trying to kill me, Alice?

Nevertheless, the Makina dodged the attack by simply shifting her head a little in a matter-of-fact manner.

'Yes, that's it. That's the real war.

Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, God. No, no. No, no, no.

I can't live in a world without Takumi!

Yes, the Nu were persecuted by the humans and driven out of the forest.

The Nu were persecuted by the humans and driven out of the forest.

The Nuruhachis disrupted the old Lucian kingdom and established a new one.

For generations, the Hashtar family expanded their territory through warfare.

I had long forgotten about it.

Happiness had been the norm since I met Takumi, and I'd forgotten about that too.

Makina dodges all of Alice's repeated fists.

But the defense that seemed to go on forever comes to an abrupt end.

I'm not going to be able to say that I'm not going to be able to do anything about it.

It was the sound of flesh popping.

The Machina-like right fist pierced Alice's stomach and stuck out of her back.

Buhhhh, Alice spat out a lot of blood from her mouth.

Even so, she still struck at Machina Momo at exactly the same speed.

''Waaaaaaaahhhhh!

I couldn't hold back the tears anymore.

While crying and screaming, she focused her magic power on her hands.

'Whew, no, Takumi.

The magic power that should have been completely crushed.

However, it remains in the depths of my body, just a little bit.

This is the last magic power to maintain the existence of Chiharu.

If you use it, it will disappear.

Chihar and Nuruhachi. All of them will disappear.

Come on, come on, come on, wake up!

But that's okay.

I don't care if it's all gone, as long as Takumi wakes up.

I'd rather not.

Did he sense the flow of magic power?

The Machina pseudo turned around while dodging Alice's attack.

'...... Kuon, Takumi is no longer awake.'

That's not true!

In the body of Chihar, thought and language do not coincide.

Still, I rant and rave as best I can.

'Takumi will wake up just fine!　You're going to listen to Chihar!　Wake up, smile, and give me a pat on the head for Chihar!

There's no point. We've already started the transfer.

Behind Alice and Makina-like were fighting, Sasha was holding the fallen Takumi and shouting.

'Takumi!　Oh no!　Why?

Sasha, who cast all the recovery magic she could find, is already on the verge of depleting her magic power.

Even so, she continues to chant her magic one after another.

'No!　Takumi!　Don't disappear!

Takumi's body was so transparent that he could clearly see the other side, and it was disappearing.

'Oh no.'

Squeezing the magic out of them beyond their limits.

Oh, my God, no.

Still, what we ended up with was a small ball of light, about the size of a marble.

'Chiharu is with Takumi,'

But it shines brighter than any magic I've ever created.

'I'll be there all the time!

The light with all the thoughts is unleashed on Takumi.

''Takumiii!!!''

The magic power leaves the body and disappears from existence.

''Oh, wake up!

I can picture the scene in my mind of eating a meal on Takumi's lap.

Everyone is around me and Takumi is smiling at me with a kind face.

I laughed back.

I couldn't have been more excited.

The little light hits Takumi's head with a knock, snaps off and disappears.

Takumi still doesn't wake up.

But it's okay.

I'm sure your thoughts are heard.

He'll get up soon and laugh at me like he always does.

Thinking about that.

Chiharu slowly drifted off to sleep.
