It turns out that the personality we called Shea belongs to Mio, a girl who died in an accident a few months ago.
However, even after regaining her mory, Mio remained ntally unstable, and after being replaced by Shea, she herself was distressed and left the place with the magic of transference.
In the end, Mio's identity was revealed, but I returned to the house where Mio's parents were, leaving with more mysteries about who Sia, a witch called the village herbalist.
"On that day, I was worried about Mio, who never returned, so I gathered the people of the village and went out to find her.
Mio's father, who regained his composure after listening to the story of Leona Mr./Ms. with his seniors...... He told about the night a girl nad Mio died.
As she had heard, Mio adored Shea and visited her that day, and on the way back she was unfortunate enough to be caught in a storm.
Then, it was ...... by a landslide caused by heavy rain.
"The storm passed and night fell without finding him, and the bag he was carrying had fallen near the place where the landslide occurred...... But we dug up the dirt and couldn't find it.'
"But then," he continued.
"The night after the storm, Shea...... He ca to us with that cold child in his arms. I ...... him pale and dirty with dirt."
Rembering that ti, he looked down with a bitter expression.
"She was laughing, saying that Mio died because of her. I was furious. I hurled abuse and hatred that I had never uttered in my life. But still...... Shea didn't say anything.'
"I knew the truth was that she was mocking herself. I never laughed at his death."
"But I couldn't stop blaming him. I'm going to tell Shea, who has mories of that child...... I pointed my sword at Mio......'
He held his head as if he regretted his words and actions.
After all, it's natural to be confused when a family mber you thought you lost appears in a different form and calls you "Mr./Ms.."
I was advised by my seniors that easy words of comfort would only hurt , so I briefly explained to him the current situation of Mio and told him what Shea was trying to do.
"It may be very irresponsible to ask for such a thing...... Please, help Mio.'
Saying this, I nodded to him as he bowed deeply.
●
After leaving the village, we used our senior's Thunder Beast mode to quickly return to the city of Kamherio.
As night approached, I ran through the city, where the movent of people had slowed down sowhat, and returned to my dormitory, and after parting ways with Leona Mr./Ms., I decided to move to the room where Mr./Ms.. Naia was waiting.
"We didn't even know who Shea was."
When Naia Mr./Ms.had finished explaining what had happened in the village in her private office, she muttered as she glanced down at the docunt at hand.
"Didn't the kingdom investigate know about her existence?"
「…… As long as you don't get frustrated."
Mr./Ms. Naia seems sorry for Nea's words.
At that point, the senior who was sitting in the opposite seat opened his mouth.
"No, Shea must have been more cautious than she used to be, and it would be impossible to pay attention to her presence as she lived quietly, trusting the villagers as an herbalist without doing any wrong."
"Besides, it's just after the end of a large-scale battle with the Demon King's army ......."
While agreeing with the words of his seniors, he recalls the ti when the storm hit.
At that ti, there was a large-scale war between the Demon King's army and the Four Kingdoms, so it must not have been difficult.
「…… Yes, that's true. Or rather, I was."
Nea nods in agreent with my senpai's and my words...... Isn't it the sa?
"No, you were just a rumor, it was supposed to be a strange phenonon."
"Ugh."
Compared to Nea, who was killing ti by forcibly manipulating travelers to listen to their stories, what Shea was doing was good itself.
It's a mystery why it's behaving the way it is now.
"Mr./Ms. Naia, it's ...... that soone died during the landslide."
"It was on record, although there was no exact ntion of Mio's na, such as Mr./Ms.'s na."
"Is that so......?"
I can't help it.
What I found out this ti is quite significant, but at the sa ti, there are many things that I don't know.
After all, who is Shea?
How is she, who has lived for a long ti and helped the villagers as a herbalist, but instead as a herbalist, collecting fragnts of the Demon King's power now?
Even if you know about Mio, you don't know anything about Shea.
"Usato-kun, I think it's ti to head to Leona's."
"That's right."
After reporting to Mr./Ms. Naia, Falga-sama is next.
Leona Mr./Ms. had prepared to connect with us in the room earlier, so it must be about ti we were ready.
"Will Mr./Ms. Naia et Falga-sama too?"
"Eh, are you sure?"
"I'd rather have Mr./Ms. Naia be present."
Since he keeps in touch with Falga-sama, who is far away in the land of Kamhelio, Mr./Ms. Naia is not worried about it.
"An audience with Falga-sama, the divine dragon of Miarak...... If your father found out, he would be disappointed."
"Hahaha......"
Right now, he seems to be in an unusually busy situation with post-processing and other things, so he seems to be particularly frustrated.
With a wry smile at Naia Mr./Ms.'s words, she looks at the senior next to her.
"What are you going to do, senior?"
"Of course I'll follow you!"
Naturally, the seniors seem to accompany , but .......
"What about Nea and Ferm?"
"I'm going to go back to my room and rest, because I'm tired from all the stuff."
"It's going to be a long ti, and I'll be waiting in my room."
No, neither of them is moving enough to get tired, right?
In fact, I feel like I was the only one moving.
●
We left the office and sent Nea and Ferm to their rooms, while , my seniors, and Mr./Ms. Naia moved to the room where Leona Mr./Ms. was waiting.
We were greeted by Leona Mr./Ms. and her servant Mirfa Mr./Ms..
In the center of one of the rooms of the inn, which is almost the sa as ours, there is a large bottle with a wide mouth, which is filled with water.
Perhaps this is a simple device to contact Falga-sama? What's that.
"This is how Leona usually communicated with Mistress Farga."
"It's simple, and this spear is indispensable."
Leona Mr./Ms.smiles wryly at the admiring Senpai and Naia Mr./Ms., and holds the pendant around her neck ——— transforming the pendant around her neck into a spear the armor of a hero.
"I'm going to connect with Miarga-sama of Miarak, are you ready?"
"Thank you."
When I asked, Mr./Ms. lightly tapped the floor with the handle of her spear.
In an instant, a magical wavelength like a ripple of water echoes on the floor, which shakes the water in the bottle.
The fluctuating surface of the water flows like a living creature, forming a mirror-like shape——— beyond which the figure of a giant dragon, Falga-sama, is reflected.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Falga."
"Well, I've been waiting, I've heard from Leona that things have changed."
I nodded at Falga's words.
For the ti being, let's introduce Mr./Ms. Naia.
"Uh-huh."
"No, wait a minute, I'm reluctant to join him."
「…… Eh, that too?"
There is only one person who says that Falga-sama is a guy.
As I sat down, another mirror made of water ford from the bottle——— and a large demon tribe, the Demon King, I recognized, was reflected in it.
"What did you do this ti?" Usato"
"Is that the best thing you can do, Demon Lord?"
"Well, ...... Demon Lord!?"
Mr./Ms. Naia beside is very surprised by the unexpected participation of the Demon King.
When I was inwardly sorry that it was going to be a ridiculous discussion, the demon lord sitting in the chair opened his mouth with a hateful smile.
"I don't think you're going to be able to do anything, and the case of Kamherio has reached the Demon Lord's Realm. There are also amusing rumors.'
「…… What exactly?"
"A healing wizard who explodes and flies through the air, isn't that an exaggeration because it's about you?"
If it wasn't through the mirror, I could have punched him......!
To the smirking demon king, my senior hurriedly stops as I raise my fist while making a blue streak.
"Woo, Usato-kun, calm down, ......?"
「…… Excuse . Phew...... Farga-sama, the Demon Lord. This is Mr./Ms. Naia, the first princess of the Kingdom of Kamherio."
For the ti being, I have to introduce Mr./Ms. Naia to the two of them.
When I introduced her, Mr./Ms. Naia stepped forward and put her hand on her chest.
"I'm Nia Lark Kamherio, the first princess of the Kingdom of Kamherio, and I've been supporting everyone who participated in the Hero Festival."
"This is Farga, the divine dragon of Miarak, the daughter of King Lambda, who was present at the previous eting. Your help in Leona's movent has been very helpful. Thank you for your cooperation."
"I'm very afraid."
At Falga's words, Mr./Ms. Naia bows nervously.
Then, taking a step back, I looked sideways at her chest as she stroked her chest in relief, and I and my seniors turned to face Falga-sama and the Demon Lord.
"I'm sure you've already heard from Mr./Ms. Leona, but I'd like to explain what happened today from us."
"Hmm."
Above all, I should talk about Mio because I actually heard from her.
As I gather what I'm going to say in my head once more, I open my mouth to the Demon King and Falga-sama.
That the personality we thought was Shea belonged to Mio, a girl who died in a storm a few months ago.
When she regained her mory, she revealed that Shea was an herbalist who lived on the outskirts of the village.
Shea was a person who had not changed in appearance for decades in the perception of the villagers.
Shea has a definite purpose.
When he finished explaining these things in detail, sotis supplented by his seniors, both Falga-sama and the Demon King were silent for a while with difficult expressions.
"I think it should be seen as a fusion of souls, not as a fusion of souls, but as a containnt of souls."
After a mont of silence, the Demon King spoke.
Contained? I tilt my head, and Falga-sama nods.
"Perhaps, the doll that appeared in the story. That's probably Shea Garmio's body now."
"For so reason, not only Mio but also the soul of a woman nad Sia is put in it...... Of course, you can guess why, right? Falga"
"Pull it out"
At the words of the defiant Demon Lord, Falga-sama snorts, "Hmm."
"I guess it was because I knew that Mio's soul alone would break."
"Ah, the magic that attracts souls. If the magic of Sia, who had put her soul into the corpse, was Sore, then there would be no way to extract the soul from a person who had just died."
So, did Shea dig up Mio, who died in a landslide, and extract only her soul......?
And ...... encapsulated that soul in sothing like a doll?
"But why didn't you do it like Mr./Ms.?"
You can put your soul in a dead body like her.
He had previously said that it was possible to resurrect a soul that had just died from the Demon Lord.
"No matter how old the body is, the soul belongs to a girl who is not very strong ntally, and she must have thought that she could not endure it."
「……」
"It's just a guess, but Sia had a substitute for her body, and she put Mio's soul into it, and she also sealed her own soul to stabilize it."
「…… Why did you have mories of Mr./Ms.?"
"That's it, Usato, that's what matters."
The Demon King points his index finger.
His expression was not his usual faint smile, but serious.
"So far, we can only speculate based on limited information, but Hisago's mory, this much remains unknown. Why did the being who called himself Shea Garmio have Hisago's mories? Why was he so swayed by Hisago's mory? Why--even his lineage enhancent can handle the sa light magic?"
"Light Magic ......"
When I hear Mr./Ms.'s light magic, what cos to mind is what happened at the ruins of the forr Demon King's army that I stopped at in the Demon King territory before fighting the Demon King.
"Hina used to be in the ruins of the Demon Lord's Territory...... There was a ti when another Kannagi tried to give the sa light magic as Hisago Mr./Ms.. Instead, there was a risk that my healing magic would be sared, but did you think you would do the sa thing?"
"Don't let your mind and body go with you, a monster."
What? Why did you call a monster when I just asked a normal question?
I'm biologically human, right?
I was annoyed by the Demon King's speech, and Falga-sama spoke to with a sigh.
"It's not that reckless to deal with other people's magic, with the exception of those who have the bodies of the dead...... It is very difficult for a living person to obtain the lineage magic of others as an afterthought."
"If you want to get it, ......."
"Most of the ti they die, but I've never heard of a successful case, with very few exceptions."
The demon king who said that made break out in a cold sweat.
Eh, that was such a dangerous .......
"Were there any exceptions?"
"Look, you're assimilated with Ferm, and you're using pom-poms and other people's magic."
「…… Uh-huh."
I think it's more accurate to say that I'm borrowing it rather than using it.
But I don't use it permanently, so I guess it's an exception in that sense.
『…… Shea tried to use her own soul to stabilize Mio's soul, but she was still doing sothing reckless. It must also affect his soul.'
"Falga-sama, do you think sothing is wrong with Shea as well?"
Mistress Falga nods silently.
…… As we talked, I didn't see anything strange about Shea.
If I had to say it, it would be sothing akin to her obsession with a purpose.
"No......
There was still sothing that bothered .
At the place where the landslide occurred, Mio suddenly changed.
I thought it was because of my mind, but I'll talk to Falga-sama and the Demon King for the ti being.
"Maybe it's my fault, but for a mont Mio isn't her or SheaAnother face・・・I was showing it."
"Are you sure?"
"No, only for a mont, I couldn't pursue her because of her ntal state ......."
Maybe I'm overthinking it, but it doesn't hurt to say it.
As if pondering, the Demon King and Falga-sama fell silent, and silence ensued.
"Usato, I trust your eyes and intuition, and consider the possibility of a third personality."
「…… Yes."
I nodded at Falga's words.
The third personality, if it exists in her, where does it co from?
I have mories of Mr./Ms. Hisago, so I wonder if it's Mr./Ms.'s personality?
"——— Usato, you're definitely getting closer to an answer."
He looked up at the Demon King's words that were suddenly thrown at him.
He rests his elbows on the armrests and points at .
"Go head over and get into the troubles, keep going."
"Do you think it's about people?"
It's not like I'm just being driven by necessity and I'm rushing into trouble.
But for so reason, it seems that in the end, it will be rushed as the Demon King says...... Huh.
"For now, let's talk about Sia Garmio, and I'll make so speculations with him."
"It looks like fun."
Falga-sama ignores the Demon King's disdain.
Both Leona and Mr./Ms. were smiling wryly at this, and Falga-sama looked at as if she suddenly rembered sothing.
"Well, Usato."
"Yes?"
"I heard that you ripped the devil away from the one whose soul was fused with the devil, but in what way did you do it?"
Is it the story of when you ripped Enver from Mr./Ms. Lanzas?
Well, it seems that it was an impossible situation under normal circumstances, so Falga-sama must have been worried.
"Well, the premise is that the strengthening of Sia's lineage caused a crack in the fusion of the soul of the demon Enver and the hero of the Milva Kingdom, Mr./Ms. Lanzas."
"Hmm."
The operation itself couldn't have been helped without Sia's light magic system enhancent.
But in order to explain what happened after that, I had to explain the new technology first.
"A healing technique that uses the applied technique of magic power to synchronize my magic power by pouring my magic power into the opponent's magic rotationsympathySyncThere is a technique called "Disturbance" that interferes with the magic itself by intentionally disturbing the magic power sent by its application...... Cure thisobstructionjammingI nad it ......."
『『……』』
"The healing interference was able to shake the soul that fused with the demon, so I used it as a hint to separate the soul connection with the demon with a new technique, the Healing Vibration Fist, and tear it apart with the strengthening of Sia's light magic lineage."
『『……』』
Silence.
Not only Falga-sama and the Demon Lord, but also Naia Mr./Ms. and Mirfa Mr./Ms. looked at like "What are you talking about, this person ......?"
No, the senior looks curious, and Mr./Ms. Leona laughs like she's in trouble.
"I understand the logic, but...... Hmm.'
"You may be used as a research material after your death."
If you say that with a serious face, I'm going to be seriously sorry for joking.
The demon lord continues to talk while pointing at .
"Farga, it's quicker to see this guy's mory."
"It's a sha to agree with you...... Let's see. Usato don't mind?'
"What? yes, I don't mind, do you?"
I don't mind seeing my mories, and if I say I do, it's a fight with a vibrating fist, right?
I lightly agreed to Falga-sama's words, and imdiately pressed the remotely activated magic pattern to my forehead, ———— mont my vision during the battle was projected as magic in the air.
"I can't fly, but I can fly.
I fly through the sky with the outburst of Rune's dark magic.
"You're going to tear it off because of the healing interference?"
"Huh!?"
- I'm going to punch him with a healing interference to see if it's effective against Envar.
"If you're worried about the operation of light magic, I can set your sights!" That's right!!"
"That's right! Isn't it?! Damn it! My intentions are not reflected anywhere in this situation!
I'm using Shea in a box surrounded by dark magic magic like a machine gun that shoots light magic magic.
"Sia, can you make a blade of light!!"
"Nope! I can't do it at all! Even if you can, you can't!!"
"I'm going to ask for a bigger one!!"
"Hey, listen!? Hey, listen to , Korra!?'
- I wield the light magic blade activated by Shea with her.
A series of mories are played as images, and while everyone is screaming, only the Demon King is holding his mouth and shaking his shoulders.
"No, it's not."
"Usato-kun, I'm very curious about what exactly is different."
For the ti being, I could only say such excuses.
