The Magus of Genesis

Oh, when I thought it was too late.

I reflexively took refuge in your father, but I understood my failure. If you're going to shelter, shelter. You should have done some protective witchcraft or something.

Essentially, witchcraft is a defensive advantage. Because attacking magic takes time to get you from your hand to your opponent, while defense instantly protects you. Yet my inability to do so is due, for one thing, to my inexperience in action and the impatience with which your father was targeted.

To the feeling of a spear piercing my chest, oh, this is dead, I thought. Because I don't have any pain at all. I mean, it was instant death.

Fluttering from the wounds on my chest, I could see my soul leaking out.

I believe that creatures die from wounds because their souls leak out of their wounds.

The bigger the wound, the quicker the soul gets out of it, but not anymore when it's small enough to have a hole in the heart.

Because that's exactly where the soul was put, the room where its roots were laid.

That's why I was floating fluffy in the dark, when my soul was alone.

The soul has no eyes or ears. So I thought, "I can't see or hear anything."

But.

Wouldn't a slight glow pull me by surprise? It seemed, slowly and instantly, that he was complaining to me about something.

Are you………… maybe, Mac?

When I asked him, his soul glowed with a tickle to affirm.

Mac is the name of the soul of the armored bear that I picked up before this and put in the stuffed animal.

When Mak pulled me all the way, I was wrapped up in something. As usual, I don't see anything, but I found myself in some shape and it touched the ground and distorted.

I'm a stuffed animal now. Yes, I noticed right away.

I don't have a touch. But as a change in my form, I knew the outside world.

Mac's soul pulls out of the stuffed animal so that it is pushed out on my soul. The soul that has lost its vessel is ordained to disappear. Even if not, it's lonely and sad to be left in a world where you can't see and feel anything like that.

Are you sure?

When I asked, Mac's soul blinked again with Chickatika. Along with that, it conveys her (ah, Mac was a girl) carelessness.

That the goblins killed me. The fact that he was not even eaten and the body was thrown away. And thank you for your revenge.

Oh, well. I should have been on guard at a time when the body of an armored bear was being unharmed, shouldn't I? I wouldn't do that if I were a hyiro hunter, because there's no stronger beast in the woods than an armored bear.

Okay, thank you. I'll borrow it.

When I answered that, Mac's soul glowed once more at the end and disappeared.

Well, I can't be very mottled. Return to my body.

Maybe it's about your father, so even if you knew I was dead, you'd take me to your mother's hospital. And your mother would suture my wounds on the surface, even if she knew it was useless.

Convenient if that's the case. As long as the hole is blocked, that's just like a stuffed animal. My soul can enter and perpetuate its existence… should. Yes, I thought.

Nevertheless...... maybe I am where I died. I guess Mac's stuffed animal dropped zero when he fell, and your father carried my body unaware as it was.

I feel the Hiirokane sword rolling over there. This kid has a soul, too, doesn't he? If it comes back to life well, I'll collect it for you later, so wait.

If so… I concentrated my spirit and looked around.

There it is! Far away, slightly, but I feel your father's soul. The soul of your father, who was twice as big and dazzling as a man, seemed to be visible even from a considerable distance. If you go for that, you'll be fine!

But it is. It's not as simple as saying, it wasn't.

First of all, no matter how big your father's soul is, if you are a father in the distance and someone else nearby, you can see other people's souls better on the boulder. Besides, your father travels pretty much everywhere, so he often lost sight of it.

Moreover, I see nothing but my soul. I know what it felt like to touch you, but I didn't even know where you were walking, I bumped into you over there, and I didn't have anything else to go on as I twitched over here.

The pedestrian streets of the souls around them are interrupted, and I understand that the night has come. It won't be cremated that soon by boulders, but we need to hurry...

Behind my back was the feeling of deviation, and my journey was dark. The morning came and in the opposite direction from where I was until yesterday, I have a father. I had to go back the way I came.

But before you return for as much, your father's soul is moving to another place altogether. You've already lost your beloved daughter, so please be more depressed and relax!

But I also knew what your father was doing. You must be helping those who were wounded in the rat raid, fixing the buildings that were damaged, and energizing people. Even if I'm harder than that.

Because that's who my father is.

It's a lot of trouble though. I can only go for my father, so when I wander around, I don't know where to go.

At least if you know where you are now......

And that was then. In my eyes the characteristic soul jumped in.

Glowing bright red, with a soul like Hihirokane. A clear and beautiful soul, mixed with blue and red. Such a completely separate soul is folded into one body.

There is no one else with such a weird soul, sister Yu.

Unfortunately, she walked away unaware of me as a stuffed animal, and I couldn't go after her with my blind little stuffed animal body...

I was there, taking one hint.

Every day, at a set time, Sister Yu patrols a set route to keep the city safe. I mean, if you know what time it is, you also know where you are now.

I decided to wait for a day on the spot, thoughtfully. It's a decision that it's more a prerequisite to know exactly where you are than to follow your corny changing father's position.

Often wait in less crowded places. Unexpectedly, I learned the feeling of being held up to something.

"That? The stuffed animal is falling off."

Is it because you are speaking to me? I had no ears, and I heard a young girl, who was supposed to hear nothing.

"Whose..."

I'm in trouble. If they move you out of here, you may not be able to find your sister Yu. On the contrary, if you get picked up and locked in a box, you won't be able to escape with this little stuffed body.

"Wah! It moved!?

I rammed to escape from that hand, but instead of letting go of her hand reflexively, she held me back. This is also a mundane stuffed body that doesn't even give you the power to escape the hands of young girls.

"Hey."

Rest in peace… When I thought so, my vision suddenly stained white.

"It's mine. Can you give it back to me?

No, you don't. Big, bright white light… the owner of the pure white soul has spoken to the girl.

"Your sister's?

"Yeah. I was magically moving it."

After such an exchange, I go from the girl's hand to another woman's.

"Was it okay?

A white soul, speaking to me in a prolonged tone. That was Mr. Mel.

Have you noticed that I am inside?

"Innis's kid who made it...... then, it's not. I wonder whose work."

I didn't realize. Or you seem to think of me as a golem.

"Well. Come on in.... that? You're not going anywhere?

He put me on the ground, so when I stood there again, Mel asked, so I nodded.

"Oh well. Well, Mel's here too."

Then Mr. Mel sat down beside me and began to speak in his usual tone.

"... So, Innis has a kid and he's very close - But Innis was always angry with Ala."

I think Mel, who keeps talking absurdly, probably just seems to sit on the side of the road and talk to the stuffed animal extensively when viewed objectively, is it okay? Speaking of other personnel, it makes me a little nervous.

Mel keeps talking as the sun goes down and he sits next to me even when people are gone...

"Ah."

Surprisingly, raise your voice like that,

"It's morning, Mr. Stuffed Toy"

He gave me the information I wanted the most.

"Are you going? Not again."

When I get up, maybe he's waving at me. Mr. Mel doesn't follow me in particular, and he seems to have dropped me off. Objectively speaking, I would have been talking all night to the stuffed animal I found at dusk, and I am slightly worried about her normal life...

It was such a comforting and delightful thing to talk to me next door even when I looked like this.

I will return to where I was yesterday and count the numbers in my heart. And when I counted about seven thousand, I discovered Sister Yu's soul. That means this is the boulevard where Mr. Gido's bakery is located! Sister Yu is always used to buying bread there every morning. As I checked still, I approached my soul, which looked round and warm, and seemed to leave after a while. Maybe that's Mr. Gido.

That means this soul that came out across the street is Aunt Hannah... next to it is Mr. Meisha. Oh, the little soul over here is Micah, isn't it?

All right. I got a perfect grasp of the place. There is quite a distance to the house...... all you have to do later is watch the flow of people and make sure you don't go the wrong way.

And that was just before I got to my house.

Your father's soul, which was in the house, moves suddenly. Next to it, your mother's soul too.

That's not the usual flying trip, it's a slow walk thing. But with my legs I could only walk fast enough to take a whole two days from the edge of the village to the house, it was a speed I couldn't keep up.

I am willing to burn my body.

It was the thought that made me realize that and darken in front of me. Until the crematorium, you can't catch up with your fathers in this appearance. In other words, it has been decided that my body will be burned.

Still, I move my legs hard to catch up, but the distance just keeps getting away. The stuffed animal moves only slowly, no matter how quickly, on top of having short hands and feet. It's invisible, so I can't walk fast.

No more...

I did, when I gave up.

All of a sudden I began to travel at an incredible rate, wondering if I had been lifted all the way to something. To see the souls of the people on the road, it seems that something that lifted me is probably leaping and moving over the roof of the city.

Strangely, though. Something that was lifting me did not have a soul in itself. But I know exactly where you're going. A direction with a large and warm soul… seemed to be carrying me to the place where your fathers were.

When the mysterious presence caught up with your fathers at a rate as if it were the wind, it stopped a little before that and brought me down to the ground.

Small...... Still a hand bigger than mine now urges me to push my back and move on.

I don't know who it is, but thank you.

I can't even speak, and I thank you in my heart and go to your father.

Something... I felt like I heard a slight voice backing me up.

Until your father's soul, a little later.

But what I saw there was an innumerable stream of light. Many people's souls were filling it. Maybe he's a participant. Though I am glad that you mourn my death, the light overlaps with the light and I see nothing.

I have completely lost sight of which is central and where to go.

Your father, your mother, they're supposed to be right there......!

"Why………!

That's when.

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

That was probably a whispering voice as a voice.

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

But the cry.

"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......!

The voice, like even the light that fills my sight, will be sumptuous.

"I was the only mother of this child!

Above all, it was as if it were a fierce wave, shaking my very existence.

There, there's your mother.

I ran desperately for the voice to be heard.

Slipping between souls, proceeding and proceeding, I will finally grasp your father's soul all the time.

Please, notice………!

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

I heard your mother.

Next to it, I feel different from my soul. Maybe this is my body.

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

Desperately pointing to it, my father, who lifted me up, asked me so, and I nod so hard.

By thy father's hand I was placed upon my body, and I embraced it all the time. You don't need to think about how to get in. As if things were falling from the top down, I entered my body naturally.

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

Turning to my mother, who opened her eyes wide, I complained that way for now.

"... no one, you're not here"

Your father carried you a body that still doesn't move well, and you're on your way home.

I looked around the entrance to the cemetery and frowned.

"With who?

Your mother looks worried and asks.

"Someone... brought me this far into the stuffed animal. He didn't have a soul..."

When I said, your father said, "Oh."

"Then I know who it is. Him."

I look back and point at the tree as I say so.

"I see. I thought it was reasonably cold, that stuffed animal. I have to thank you next time."

Then it's as if to answer that word of your father.

The hoe, the hoe, the hoe…… and the chirping sounded.
