Chapter 56 Ray's past

We decided to wait in the hospital room.

Eventually, you hear the door open. Ray has come in. He walks straight to his mother, staring at his face.

"……mother……"

There is no reply. Sheila is sleeping.

"The Magic Sword Tournament ... I won. Tomorrow is the final match."

He reports to Sila, who speaks silently.

"... Would you like to wait until tomorrow? I'll definitely help ..."

Ray's expression doesn't always have a smile. He looks sadly at his mother's face. Tran sl a t e d by ｊp ｍ tl.co m

"What's there tomorrow?"

Ray turns around in the direction of his voice. The light fog turned into a mass.

Rei says that he was at a point.

"I thought it was raining suddenly. I didn't think I would come here."

"I didn't think that Ray had become imperial on his own initiative."

Rei smiles hard to read.

Tra n s la t e d b y jp ｍ t l .ｃ o ｍ "I'm a liar"

"... a liar doesn't say a liar ..."

In the words of Mass, but not losing his expression, Ray said.

"Are you alone?"

"That's right"

Of course, it's a lie. I'm hiding in Mass <>. If you don't make a bad move, you won't notice.

"So bad, can you tell Anos?"

"... I'm okay, say that. You're talking to Anos and threatened by someone, right?"

"Do you think so?"

"I think Anos will help you."

"When I got to know him, neither me nor my mother helped."

After all, he seems to be threatened.

"what do you mean?"

"As you can see, my mother is sick. It's a spirit disease, and it's hard to cure by a normal doctor, probably because she's only half-spirited."

Mass turns his eyes to Sheila.

"... What kind of illness is it?" Tran s la t e d by jp ｍ t l.co m

"It seems that the magic power is weakened, the roots are diluted, and it will disappear as time goes on."

"What is the cure?"

Ray shook his head.

"I wouldn't have entered the royal family if they had taught me that."

"... Is it really cureable at this hospital?"

"My mother's magic has weakened day by day since she developed psychiatric illness. However, after entering this magic clinic, it was lulled. I had no choice but to believe it. ''

If there is a way to maintain lull, does that mean that the cause of the disease has been identified? If you know that, you can cure it.

"There are a few things I have to do in order to get my mother cured, including fighting Anos in a magic sword tournament because the contracted magic sword has been embedded in my body. If I don't, I will die, and if I die, they will have no reason to keep their mother alive. "

Contract Contract sword? <> This is a magical tool with a stronger force. If you break your contract, what you are waiting for is a certain death that will destroy even the root.

"Telling Anos this would mean a different contract."

"... wouldn't it have been better not to talk to me ...?"

"Believe you won't tell anyone"

"e……?"

"That's a lie"

T ran sla ted b y Jp mt l .ｃ o ｍ In an instant, Ray approached Mass. Mass was trying to dissolve in the fog, but Rei slashed the magic with the magic sword Initio.

The effect of <> disappears, the fog disappears, and the outside rain stops.

Ray gave his glance around.

"... I'm really alone ..."

I guessed that the magic of Rain Reimu <> made sure that nobody else was hiding. I guess I'm more than someone.

Rain mist fog surely the magic of <> that was on me has disappeared, but since it is transparent with <> and the magic power is hidden with <>, it will not be found if you breathe in.

I asked Misa to use the magic of <> to make her think that there was nothing hidden behind it.

"Well then"

Grabbing Mass's arms and folding it down, Ray pulled out a jagged dagger from his bosom. It falls down without hesitation toward the mass.

Involuntarily, Mass closed her eyes, but she did not have a dagger stuck in her body. It was her shadow that Rey pierced.

"I'm sorry. I'll stay here until tomorrow's final."

Misaki tries to dissolve into the fog, but seems to be unable to manipulate the magic of <> as if he had stitched his shadow.

"... What is this dagger ...?"

"It's a shadow-stitched dagger. If you can stitch a shadow on it, you can only move in the shadowed area. You can't use magic to destroy the entity."

After all, it will come. Stopping someone who knows the situation is probably part of the contract.

Isn't it just a contract to kill? Well, if you bind too much with a spell, you have to kill it without having to kill it. In some cases, it exacerbates the situation. T ra n s l at e d by Jpｍt l.co m

Thought communication "This room is equipped with anti-magic to block magic communication. You cannot call for help with <>."

"If I'm gone, the suspicious Unificationists will surely come to help."

"Yeah, but it won't be in time for tomorrow's final. That's enough."

Mass thought and asked.

"What are you going to do?"

"I'm sorry, I can't say it."

Speaking of which, the contracted sword strips its fangs.

"Who did that to Ray?"

"It's Devil Elio, as far as I know."

Elio is a puppet. Probably, it was the unknown demons who run this magic clinic. In the situation, it seems undoubted that he was involved in Avos Dilhevia.

As he walked to the corner of the room, Ray brought a chair and placed it behind the mass. When Mass sees a suspicious face, he smiles thinly. Sit down.

Mass sits quietly in a chair.

"You got involved"

Hearing Ray's words, Mass laughed.

"It's wrong"

Rei looks back at Mass, asking what it means.

"Rei was involved. In the struggle between the Unification faction and the royalty, so I'm sorry."

Lei rounds her eyes, perhaps because it was an unexpected line.

"I didn't think I would be apologized for doing that."

"That's because Rei is friendly."

"No, not because I'm a liar."

Jokingly, he smiles as always as refreshing.

"And if Unification and Royalists weren't fighting, my mother was long dead."

That might be so. It seems that Sheila's condition has remained lull thanks to the demons who take control of this magic clinic.

Without the Reunion and the Imperial quarrels, that is, without Avos Dilhevia, the use of Ray would not have treated Sheila's spiritual illness.

"... Can I ask?"

"Unfortunately I can't say what you want to know."

"No, it's my mother."

"mother's?"

It seemed surprising.

"I don't think there is no choice but to ask"

"So what can I say?"

Mass smiles. Rei smiled as if she had beaten.

"You are strange to ask such a thing at such times."

"... I don't have a real mother, right?"

"Yes, I was originally born in the Jesusta family."

"Is that magical family?"

"Yes. In the Jesusta family, children have inherited the secret magic from generation to generation. A child born in the Jesusta family can use that magic from the beginning. I couldn't do it. "

Inheriting magic is a type of root magic. Share some of your roots with your child. However, there are rare cases where the inheritance of the magic does not go well. Most likely, the child's source is affected by stronger source magic. Reincarnation For example, magic of <>.

"I ruined the magic that has been handed down my ancestors and was abandoned because I was told I couldn't do it."

"When was it abandoned?"

"I was about five years old or so. To be honest, I was at a loss as to what to do. In my hometown, the Jesusta family was at the helm and no one tried to help me. The Jesusta would have expected that I would die without death, for a few days I was wandering around the city with little food, hungry, and at last I couldn't move. There was a person who gave me. ''

"That's Ray's mother ...?"

Ray nods.

"He took me home, provided me with a hot meal and a bed, and then let me live at home, but that caused her to take the anger of the Jesusta family. I was threatened to quit my job if I could feed me, but my mother never left me and eventually moved to a city out of reach of the Jesusta family. "

"He's kind, Ray's mother."

When Mass uttered, Rei smiled happily.

"When I grew up, I asked why she helped me."

"What did you say?"

"My mother was abandoned by her father too. My mother's father seemed to be royal. My mother's mother is a spirit. You know why I was abandoned?"

Mass nodded with a sad face. From the Royal family's point of view, it's not enough to know that they had a mixed-breed child. He ran for protection and abandoned his own child.

"So he said he couldn't leave me abandoned."

Yes, Mass gently hits.

"My mother brought me up like a real child. But my mother was born and weak. I don't know the cause, my magical power diminished, and my roots diminished. I haven't returned to consciousness for another year. ''

The magical power is steadily decreasing. In that case, the root is often abnormal or the path of magic inside the body is often out of order, but in the case of Sheila it was normal.

"I visited various magic clinics and finally arrived here."

If he managed to keep the treatment calm, he was offered a deal. In terms of timing, I met when I went out with Misha, at that time?

"... I can't forgive ..."

Mass murmurs. Her resentment seemed to be full.

"... This way, I'm going to threaten my mother as a hostage and force me to go wrong .... I can't forgive it ..."

Rei smiles annoyingly. Then said.

"Thank you, get angry."

Ray turns his heels and heads towards the door.

"sorry"

He told him over his back and left the room.
