Chapter 291 – The Long Long Friday (2)
I mean, though. Still. Celine repeated the same words as if hesitating about something. It was a voice so faint that even Marey couldn’t understand it.
“Senior…?”
“If you summon a spirit, and if you sign a contract, consider it a friend.”
“Yes.”
“Perhaps, Marei is not the kind of person who asks her friends to hurt or kill someone.”
“Yes…”
Celine lightly nodded her head. She seemed convinced.
“Do you think I can summon spirits?”
“Yeah, maybe. With a very high probability.”
Celine seemed convinced.
“From the creation myth, spirits have been appearing. Have you ever heard of the seven gods? The God of Magic, Erzebert. God of Mu, Kalpen. The god of heaven, Corkiel, and the dragon god Ravius. I mean these things They say that after the Sunshine Church became the mainstream, it became natural for everyone to not know about it…”
“Ah… That is… Hear it for the first time.”
“Well, it’s a story that most people don’t know.”
It felt like I had heard it somewhere before. No, these are names I’ve never heard of, but I’m strangely familiar with them. I couldn’t figure out why.
“It may be a little different from the doctrine of the Sun Bridge, but it is similar. In the beginning, light was born in a world where only darkness existed. The boundary between darkness and light was created, and it is said that the first dragons, gods, spirit kings, and demons were born there. In the beginning, all beings gathered in one place and waged war every day.”
“It’s like the story of the Sun Bridge.”
“Well, it’s the same up to this point. There is a difference between whether the sun god created the boundaries of everything or whether the gods acknowledged each other’s territory and created their own boundaries. Well, it doesn’t matter who did it, right? Anyway, the dimension is divided, the universe and the sky are divided, the earth and the sea are divided, and the boundaries and differences between all things are created, making the present world a very similar story. It’s a story that will get all sorts of insults from the members of the Sun Bridge, but…”
“Senior Celine, where did you hear such a story?”
“I didn’t hear it, it’s a story I deciphered from the northern stele. Well, myths are similar anyway, right? I don’t care. Anyway, since we’re talking about spirits, let’s think a little more about the story from mythology. They say awareness of spirits, cognition, and imagination are more helpful when making contracts.”
Celine’s story continued.
“From now on, this is completely my personal opinion. This is just a story to get an image of the spirit. Just listen today and forget it. Got it?”
Marei meekly nodded her head.
“The spirits are everywhere, but I don’t think they are anywhere. Unlike other dimensions where demons and angels live, there is no physical contact method at all. It means that separate dimensions coexist.”
“What do you mean by that…”
Celine pursed her lips. She seemed to be contemplating what to explain.
“It exists in a similar phase, but in a different phase… Therefore… It would be convenient to think that one coordinate value does not match. The xy-plane coordinates are the same, but the z-axis coordinates are different, so they overlap when viewed from above, but when you change the perspective, you think they are in a state where they do not overlap.”
Did you learn math? At Celine’s question, Maray nodded her head. These days, Idrien occasionally told me about the space.
“Since all of our sensory organs are adapted to the current world, it is strange to perceive a world where the z-axis coordinates do not match. It is said that there are people who sometimes have spirit eyes or have extremely good affinity with spirits, but I have never met them, but I think they have problems with their sensory organs. Well, it would be more accurate to say that it is a blessing rather than a disability.”
When Celine puts her hands together and mumbles softly, a small fire appears and takes shape into a red butterfly.
“Touch. It’s okay, because this kid said he could touch it.”
Celine carefully held out her red bow toward her Marey. She’s not a butterfly that flaps her wings, but intermittently. Her spirit was so warm that I wanted to hold her tightly in her arms.
“Also…”
“Yes?”
“Hold on. I’ll keep explaining. Spirits certainly exist in this world, but they do not exist. That’s why it’s normal to not be able to influence each other, but we forced these children into a non-physical contract called a contract. It’s being pulled in a magical way. In a way, I think of it as the concept of incarnation.”
I mean.
“With some power, our perception. I think it’s probably transformed into what we conventionally imagine and what we perceive.”
“Human too… Can you go over there?”
“Well, in theory, it’s a reversible reaction… The spirits didn’t summon us, so there’s no way to confirm, let alone prove. Suddenly, strange kids summon you and help you even though you are asking for help. On the contrary, they are really good kids.”
Celine let out a long sigh.
“Please. Please. Treat me as a friend Please. Come on, give me your hand. I need to check the attributes that suit me.”
She held out her hand to Celine. Celine touched Marey’s wrist several times with her hands. Compared to Philia, she was soft. Neither Mrende, nor Lee Ha-un, nor her own females had her hands so soft. Hands as if she had never lifted anything heavy before. Soft. I heard a brief impression.
“It may feel a bit strange, but bear with it.”
– Cheer.
She felt a tingling sensation in her wrist as her Celine gripped her. In the winter, she carelessly touched her doorknob and felt scolded by static electricity. It seemed right that she felt a tingling sensation rather than an expression of pain.
“Kuu..! Uh, what… !!”
Celine shook off Marey’s hand. And after she took a few steps back, she was glaring at her Marey with her eyes wide open like a rabbit. Her face was pale.
“Humans… No…”
Celine stepped back several times. Hostility leaked out from her blue eyes.
“Yes? Senior Celine?”
“Don’t come any closer. Just that magic… What the hell are you… !”
Dangerous. I could see an unknown shimmer around Celine. Dangerous. The bracelet Erden gave me trembled.
“Marey de Parwen… Rather than just being human… Ah… !”
Celine opened her eyes wide as if realizing something, then ruffled her hair roughly.
“It must have been Parwenga… I was so surprised… I’m sorry. Sorry!!”
Celine came over, scratching her cheeks, blushing like a student who had shouted her wrong answer in class.
“Can I check that again?”
“Ah yes…”
She didn’t know what Celine felt, but she understood that the magic within her was not normal. Sister Ksar Kruu not only taught the theory, but also taught her magic as if she were raising her disciples.
“This… Dragon blood… Quit… No, it’s okay This is my first time… A little bit. More… More… Whoa… ! Aagh!!”
Celine sat down clutching her breasts, screaming at her wildly and hysterically. After sitting on her floor and coughing wildly several times, she shrugs her shoulders and barely breathes.
“Senior, it’s okay… ?”
“Ah, yes… I’m so curious… This dragon…”
Celine muttered something she couldn’t understand, her eyes unfocused. Human, elf, devil, vampire, and innocence, Marey backtracked involuntarily at the list of completely unrelated words.
“Sorry. Calmed down Did you hear what I just said? Something must have come in and out of my head, but there is nothing left…”
“No. I didn’t hear anything… What did you say?”
Celine smiled bitterly and shook her head. She seemed to believe Marey’s words. She was lucky For some reason, it occurred to her that the words she had spoken should not be given to her.
“Are you feeling well?”
“Ah, yes. I was trying too hard to see. She did something that wasn’t up to par and almost got eaten. For a moment. For a moment. A little bit… Just give it a little time huh. A little bit…”
Celine was breaking out in a cold sweat as she sat down and gasped for her breath. She gasped for several minutes, as if she had run out of gin, and then collapsed.
“Senior?! Senior!!”
No matter how many times she shook her, Celine didn’t wake up. Marey hurriedly checked Celine’s pulse. Clear. She opened her eyelids to check the constriction of her pupils. Clear. Breathing? There was nothing wrong.
After a series of events, Marey realized that her Celine had simply passed out. She was the way Ravela let her know that there was going to be work she needed, and she never thought she would write it like this. Marey admired her insight.
In reality, my son, who has undisciplined subordinates, repeats committing any woman to fainting, so I told him to check in the middle…
If he were a normal person, he would have done something when the people around him passed out, but for a boy who repeats fainting several women every day, it has become common sense to just wait until he wakes up in a comfortable position. Celine also accidentally became the victim(?).
He couldn’t leave her behind, but she couldn’t be moved, so Marey carefully lifted her Celine and laid her on her lap.
Many of the words Celine said came creepily. Humans, elves, demons, vampires and innocence. She may have been mild bullshit, but she was telling me that her sixth sense wasn’t just bullshit. Then why did Celine say that?
Do other people feel the same way? Ravela or Erden, or maybe she should consult with Illien.
It seemed like more and more things were happening. Far from being resolved, many complex issues continued to pile up. It also has a bunch of problems she can’t solve herself. All she could do was study for the exam.
No matter how many times she couldn’t let go of the thought that she had to let things go that she couldn’t solve. She took a few deep breaths and struggled to get her thoughts out before she felt a little free.
Then her attention shifted to Celine lying on her lap. She was like a lake. A lake that is not deep, but is neither large nor small in the mountains. I was a person with a clear scent from the lake in the morning. It was a person with eyes and hair that shimmered blue, not too deep and not too shallow, like a bottomless lake.
She brought the hair she felt at her fingertips to her nose. I don’t know why, but it was instinctive.
Should I say pure, or should I say clear? Unlike the sweet scent that penetrated deep into the lungs, it had a light scent that lightly passed through the lungs.
“…Can you smell it?”
“Ah, ah!! Sin, sorry!!!”
Celine showed no expression. No, she seemed shy.
“Oh, no… That… It smells strangely clear…”
“A clear scent?”
Celine asked.
“That’s it… The clear scent of the lakeside at dawn continues… I don’t know… Sorry.”
Celine’s eyes widened.
“You might really be able to. Now, let’s summon him right away.”
“Yes?”
“Prepare.”
Celine jumped up, pulled out various items from her arms, and began drawing and erasing a magic circle on her floor that Marey had never seen before. Celine, who had been drawing her magic circle for such a long time, completed her magic circle only when her clothes were soaking wet.
“Originally, there was no way it would become such an improvised magic circle. It takes a lot of process to arrange a lot of items that the spirits like, forcefully overload the mana stones, and forcibly squeeze through the gaps in the dimension. But my ashes, half of my talent. If that’s enough…”
Ashamed to say that she herself is half her own talent, Celine blushed and cleared her throat several times.
“Don’t laugh… Now, stand here in the middle. I’ll take care of the rest.”
Standing in the center of Celine’s magic circle, she felt something strange. Should I say that her breasts are tickling? No, this was different. She seemed to see something, but she couldn’t see it, and she seemed to hear something, but she couldn’t hear it.
I could tell, but I couldn’t figure out what it was.
“Right, right away… ?”
Celine’s voice sounded close to her astonishment, but she couldn’t afford to pay her attention to it. She now had something huge standing in front of her. I don’t know what. She was burning She burned and burned endlessly until all she could see was pure white ash.
[I never thought there would be two kids who could call me in one era.]
The white ash started burning again. And the flame that burned again was burning so intensely that it was hard to believe that it had started from the ashes left after everything had burned. She wanted to say something, but no voice came out. No, she couldn’t speak.
[Stay still. Hmm… It feels familiar…]
The flames were talking wildly. No, it was swaying.
[Dragon? Devil? Elf? What is this mongrel…?]
The flames were talking wildly.
[Well, good. I was bored and wanted to punish the guy who dumped me. Come on, kid. Take her hand My name is Ifrit. Let’s make a deal.]
The flames approached. Marey held out her hand involuntarily. For some reason she couldn’t deny it. Even if her body melted away, even if she was reduced to ashes, she had no choice but to approach the fire. Like a fire moth. Even if you know that the end will be ashes…
[Your name?]
Mare de Parwen.
[Pawen? Pae eh ewen~?! Lauren is that guy?! Hey hey!!! No!! No!! Cancel!! Cancel!!! Mr…!!]
She held onto the flames that flung her hand. And the world turned white.
