The Magus of Genesis

... I honestly don't really remember much from then on.

The ice spear made by magic quickly scratched off, and instead it was a small hole as small as a thumb that remained in Cruse's chest.

Even if he calls desperately, Cruse is not picky, and the blood is overflowing.

I held her and desperately headed to Nina's hospital.

The hospital is overflowing with people, and there are many injured people sitting outside the building and down the hallway, forming a long line of snakes. But I ignored it all and hurried to Nina. I'm sorry. I don't even have time to think about it.

Nina was found immediately. While dyeing the white coat with blood and giving instructions to the other doctors as soon as possible, he is also quickly treating himself.

I broke into the treatment and begged Nina to treat Cruse.

The patient Nina was treating was badly injured. In terms of the amount of bleeding, I think it was probably more than Cruse. But I couldn't wait for the order at all.

Nina stopped her hand and heard my disjointed explanation, staring at Cruse, then blinked twice with a frightened face.

And look at my face again.

With her trembling hands, she told me to put Cruse to sleep in the right room.

Across the street from the treatment room, there are two rooms lined up.

The room on the left is the room where the seriously injured, who clearly need urgent attention, are put to sleep.

As soon as the doctors are ready, the patients will be taken to the infirmary. Frequent entrances and exits have taken place, and the expression of the doctors carrying the patients there has also been stretched.

Compared to that, the room on the right is quiet. In and out are few and quiet.

Cruce's wound was judged to be less urgent. I was horrified and went into the right room.

My idea was not wrong.

There is no urgency in the treatment of Cruce.

Because.

- I was transported to the right room because it was too late.

Nina.

Still, I did my job.

No mourning, no dissatisfaction, saving lives that can be saved… and retrieving some of them.

I came back three days later, and for the whole day, I kept sleeping.

The body of Cruce, housed in a coffin, is buried in a flower.

I didn't feel as if I was real.

How many have I ever... dropped off with hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands.

Some of them were close friends, and some of the students I adored - my beloved wife.

Some babies left the world without being adults, both those who had lived a full life expectancy, those who had been unhappy and died in accidents.

Though, an incomparable loss has left my chest flat.

"How..."

I heard Nina say it in a trembling voice.

"Why………!

Red blood falls from his tightly gripped right hand.

"How could...! I..."

She didn't blame me, not a word.

"I couldn't even let this kid call me Mother...!

Instead, I blamed myself, even.

"If this is going to happen, I should have let you call me whatever you want......! I should have let you call me over and over again......!

He doesn't even wipe away his zero falling tears, only weeping dominates her.

"I was the only mother of this child!

"… your thoughts were conveyed properly."

That's what I said after worrying about whether to tell her.

"Without you... I've been calling you Mother"

At last, Nina sits back and cries like a girl, not to mention standing.

... but I couldn't have done that all the time either.

"Drop me off...... I'll give it to you. our daughter."

Encourage Nina to do so and make her stand somehow. She shrugged, but small, nodded.

Put a lid on the coffin and deliver it to the deep digging hole.

In the village of Hiiro today, the deceased are set to burn in a crematorium.

But I couldn't, and I decided to get Cruse to mourn me the old-fashioned way.

At least I want to send you with my flame.

I thought so, and tried to turn it into a dragon. Exactly then. Something came up, he pulled my leg.

"…… Hmm?

It was a familiar stuffed animal.

Yes, it's definitely a stuffed animal with the soul of an armored bear.

"What…… is that, you know, clumsy………."

"Sure, I'm not sure if it's a bear or a dog... but it's the shape of Cruse."

Is the magical effect of that time still there?

I'll pull the leg and I'll pick it up.

Then the stuffed animal reached out her hand toward Cruse's coffin.

"What is it? Are you going into a coffin with me?

I asked as I thought no way, because it was something to snort at, so I put a coffin lid in it and did it.

When the stuffed animal jumps onto Cruse's body, she hugs that cheek with both hands and mouths it.

- As soon as possible.

Cruse's eyes opened patchouli.

"It's a scrupulous... I'm sorry. I'm not as clever as Nina……………"

Blurred, voice. But it does, it can be heard from Cruse's lips.

"Cruse!? Cruse, is that it!?

I couldn't believe it, and I looked wide open and asked.

"The armored bear... gave me the place. If there is anything in it…… the soul can stay forever for a little while"

"You can put that in your own body!?

Like eating up, Nina asked.

"Fix it, you gave it to me. Much, much more comfortable than a stuffed animal. You'll need embalming or something…………"

Gradually, the tone of the cruces becomes smoother. The skin has lost its mind and remains white... physically, it must be dead. Still.

"I'm ashamed, I'm back. Even a daughter like this...... just a little more, can I stay with you? Father, Mother."

We embraced Cruse at the same time.
