27-Lie




 Sasha said.

'Anos,'

 Finally.
 I loosely raised myself up and gave the magic eye to the magic circle drawn all over the room.
 But it was incomplete.

You're not going to tell me you didn't make it, are you?

No way. It's all done.

 Sasha held up her hand.
 The magic that was activated branched the moonlight that was pouring into the room into countless lights and filled the missing pieces of the magic circle at once.
 What was completed was a huge natural magic circle that filled the entire room.

 I immediately activated my magic eye and analyzed its magic formula.
 It might have taken a magician of this era a whole day to accurately decipher the hundreds of thousands of intricate magic characters drawn on it. But I had effortlessly seen through it the moment I saw it.
 The exercise of magic is not a contrivance.

 But--

"Kuu-uh-uh. Kuh-ha-ha-ha. That makes sense. I see, Sasha. You had no intention of winning the game from the beginning.

 Sasha smiled at my words.

I know what I'm capable of. I don't care how much you lose in a match like this. The only thing I don't want to do is let fate take me down.

 Don't let fate get in the way, huh?

As you may have guessed, my purpose is to have you use this great magic on me.

'Well thought out. In order for me to win the game, I must invoke this magic. And if I lose the game, you are ordered to activate this magic.

 <I've got to use this magician's circle and use magic anyway, since there is a contract (zekt). It's a good idea to have a good time with them.
 I'm not going to be the only one who's been in the market for a while.

"All right. I'll respect your wisdom and courage and let you pick up the win.

 I hold out my hand towards the magic circle.
 I synchronize the wavelength of magic with Sasha and activate the magic circle.

'I've never seen this before, but what magic is this?'

"Zechsis. It's the magic I developed.

 The magic formula of root attunement (Zexiz) is that it falsifies the wavelength of magic power.
 It's not the surface wavelength that exercises magic like I just did, but it changes it from its source to a different person.
 <This is a high-level magic of the Hellfire Annihilation Cannon (Geo-Glaze) class. Although Sasha had barely accomplished this technique until she constructed it, she probably didn't have the strength to use magic herself.
 I'm not going to be the only one who can do that.

 I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to find a way to make it work.

I'm sure you'll be able to find it.

 I invoke Root Source Attunement (Zexiz).
 Blue particles fly like fireflies, and Sasha's body, which was in the center of the magic circle, shines brightly.
 The light grew even stronger, and after the entire room was dyed blue, the vision suddenly regained its original color.

''........It's over.......?''

Yeah, I win the game. You know that, don't you?

 Sasha nodded.

"I'll have to use the Realm of Thought to keep you from lying to me.

 <The realm of thought (ryknos) transmits the thoughts of those within its bounds to the sorcerer.
 Anti-magic may prevent it, but it's impossible to do so with me.

'I don't mind.'

 I looked at Misha and he nodded as if it was no problem.
 I invoke the Domain of Thought (Riknos).

"Misha.

 In the center of the vast room, the Necron sisters faced each other.
 The moonlight was falling fantastically on them.

'In a little over ten minutes you will be gone.

 Misha nodded his head.

'How do you feel?'

 As usual, Misha replied nonchalantly.

'There's nothing to be afraid of.'

Yeah.

 Straight up Sasha looks at her sister.

'You wanted to know the truth, didn't you?'

...hmmm....

Okay. This is the last time. I'll answer you.

 Quickly, Sasha inhales.

 <If she focuses her attention on the Realm of Thought (Ryknos), her thoughts will be transmitted through its magic.

 --This is the last time--

 --You never existed.
 --I simply return to my original form.
 --there's nothing more distracting than having someone like you around all the time.

 --Oh, how much better it would have been if it had seemed that way.

 --You're not going to be able to get a good deal more than that.
 --You are the only one who has been with me, and you are the only one who has been with me.

 --You are the only one who looked me in the eye and you are the only one who smiled at me.

 --It was only because you kept me practicing that I was able to avoid hurting anyone as long as I didn't make eye contact.

 --I was able to go out and laugh with the other demons.

 --But you, who didn't exist, you were just followed by servants, and you always spent your time alone.

 --For fifteen years, I have lived happily enough.
 --Well, no more. I've had enough.

 --You can have the rest of my life.

 --You tell me it's fate, but I won't accept it.

 --Our souls and our bodies are two halves of one another.
 --I am the original, but I've been studying magic for a long time because I thought there must be a way to change it.

 --What distinguishes you and I from the Separate Fusion Reincarnation (Dino-Dixess) is the wavelength of magic.

 --So, if I use the Root Source Tuning (XXYZ) to make my source of magic exactly the same as yours, I won't be able to tell which one is the original.

 --I'm not going to be able to get it right.

 --I'm not going to be able to get the original, but I'm going to be able to make you real with the other magic, Dert.
 --You can do it.

 --The final piece to using
 --Reject me, Sasha Necron.
 --That's what I've been preparing for all this time, until today.

 --all the way to prepare for you to hate me.

 --It's okay. You can do it.

 --For the last time...
 --I'm sorry, Misha. I won't tell you the truth.

 --Even if I have to pay the price of the Zekt, I'll still be gone anyway.

Hey, doll.

 --Hey, Misha--

I've always, always hated you.

 --I've always loved you so much... and I've always loved you so much.

 Sasha disobeys the contract.
 I had broken the
"So,

 --That's why--

Good day to you.

 --Goodbye, Misha. I love you, my sister.

 Sasha hugs her sister.
 Laughing unnoticed, unnoticed.

 --Am I laughing well?
 --I don't know, but in this state, you can't even see his face.

 --I'm going to change it. You're going to die, and I'm going to change it.

.... "Subjective change...

 --Take care, Misha. Bye, you...

 The moment Sasha casts a spell, the two are enveloped in a dazzling light.

 The glow gradually subsides, and the two shadows of the two men, consumed by the light, begin to appear.
 A dozen seconds passed, and eventually the light disappeared completely.

 What was there was the same two figures that had not changed.

 With a surprised look on her face, Sasha stared at her sister's face, half stunned.



 --We've been preparing for this all along.
 --We've planned it out perfectly, making sure we never make a mistake.
 --And yet.....

 Such murmurs of her mind flooded out.
 She spilled out her words, small, with a voice that was tainted with despair.

''.........Why........?''

 Sasha's magic had failed.
 She was about to start crying.

'What magic?'

 Misha asks, but Sasha only gets a frustrated look on her face.
 After staring at her sister, Misha said.

'Sasha is a terrible liar.'

 It was light in tone, yet so gentle.

I don't know why you're lying to me.

 His eyes are filled with nothing but fondness for his sister.

'But I like the clumsy Sasha.

 Sasha bit her lip and gulped down her tears.
 However, she couldn't hold back, and drops spilled down her flabby cheeks.

 If Misha hadn't rejected her, the magic of wouldn't be possible.
 The plan that Sasha had made was indeed perfect, right?
 Still, there was one miscalculation.

 Misha loved her sister more than she thought she did, and Sasha loved her sister more than she could make up for in her acting.

 Sadly, Sasha's very desire to help Misha brought the plan to a crashing halt.

''........Idiot.......''

 A voice that seemed to be squeezed out just echoed.

...!

 Sasha appeals.

'I said horrible things ... I said terrible things ... I hurt you ... why ... why ... why ... why ...' ...?

 Kneeling down in despair, Sasha buried her face in her sister's chest.

''Please.........Misha, hate me. Reject me.........

 Sasha says pleadingly, tears spilling down her face.

'Otherwise, I can't help you. I can disappear in your place.

 Misha gently ran her hand over her sister's head and stroked her gently.

'Good.'

 Misha says, holding Sasha's shoulder.

'Don't worry about it. I'm the one who wasn't there in the first place.'

I don't care about that! Because Misha is here! I want to protect you. I love you, I love you, I love you, I'm your sister. I want to destroy this fate!

 Squeezing, Sasha clings to Misha.

'.........please don't .......don't disappear ......don't leave me ......'

 Misha smiles, as if troubled.

'I'm not going away. I'll just be Sasha. I'll always be there for you.

 There was little time left.
 There was only a few minutes for Misha to be Misha.

 She looked satisfied as she stroked a sobbing Sasha.

'We've made up,'

 Misha turns to me.

'Thanks to Anos,'

Good for you.

 She nods with a chuckle.

'Is there anything else you'd like to ask of me?'

 Shaking her head, Misha shook her head.

'There's nothing to regret,'

 Looking straight at me, she said.

'I didn't think we would ever make up. But I've had two wonders in my life.

What do you mean?

 Misha asks with a curious glance.

 I said.

'The real miracle is yet to come.'

 He held up his hand and deployed the magic of the Demon King's Army (Guys).
