62. To each other

It’s not enough, this isn’t enough. There are limits to this alone.

Iris chewed her lips carefully and fell into trouble.

A ring from the ancient kingdom that I finally obtained through begging and begging.

An object that can show something contained inside to others.

On top of that, if you add your own ability to share memories.

It will be an important weapon to overcome all future trials.

The only problem is that his ability isn’t that fast.

I don’t know how long it would take even if I cut down the important parts and put them in the ring.

That’s why you can’t even show it to your teacher.

This ring can only be used once.

‘I need to find another way. If this ring is for later, other things before that can be told separately! It’s not enough just to go round and round forever!’

Iris did not want to go through all these trials alone.

My teacher, sister-in-law and brother-in-law are very outstanding people.

Without their help, it’s a battle you can’t overcome alone.

In the first place, didn’t everyone fight together even in the time they had wasted?

Therefore, he informs his teacher at the center of the future situation.

It could be said that seeking help and cooperation is the top priority.

‘What’s right in front of you is a royal incident. Enmity arises in the royal castle. I have to go to the castle quickly before it’s too late, but I don’t know how to tell Master more clearly….’

The journey to the west came to Iris’s mind.

To be precise, it was the trap of the Mirror Kingdom and the cape at the end.

A cape that allows you to move to a place called the space of disconnection.

I remember my teacher sighing heavily, asking, “What are all these things?”

At first he thought he was really worthless, he was himself.

Severance from reality, but no change can be made in that disconnected place.

Everyone could tell just by looking at it that it was of no use to anyone.

What would you do in a world outside of reality?

I can’t even change it anyway, so go and spend some time?

Or do you mean crouching and hiding on the other side of the complete divide?

But when I think about it, my teacher must have said this.

I tried to make him practice in that disconnected space, but even that was impossible.

He is incapable of making physical changes, as he clearly stated.

Iris thought of that and this is it! It was to the extent that I woke up from sleep.

‘As long as you don’t seek only physical changes. If only I could briefly convey the categories I recognize!’

My ability is to convey my memories and experiences to others.

It was blocked by regression, and if you use it in reality, your memory will be lost right away.

However, he said that the space of disconnection is a different world from reality.

And he said he couldn’t seek only physical change.

If you use those parts well, you can find a clear gap, although it is not long.

Iris decided to act immediately.

Just thinking about it doesn’t change anything.

If it doesn’t work after trying and bumping into it, it’s good to think about the next thing.

“Master. I’ll go in.”

So, without permission, Iris went into her master’s room.

Then her teacher raised her hand, frowning at her.

Iris knew all too well what that future meant.

If things don’t go your way, there’s nothing to say even if you have a good night.

But I hadn’t even started yet, and I already hated getting hit.

“I’m sorry, Master.”

As she said that, she unfolded her cape.

Immediately after that, all of my senses suddenly cut off.

While realizing that this is the cape’s ability, ‘space of severance’.

Iris hurriedly grabbed her master’s hand and manifested her powers.

Please, I hope that it will come true.

She prayed that her memories would not be lost again by violating the restrictions imposed on her.

She wanted to show as much as she could for the amount of time allowed here.

“….”

All sensations disappear, then slowly return.

Iris hurriedly looked around her.

Looking at it again and again, it was clear that she was the teacher’s room she had just entered.

The one who went to the space of severance with himself?

With her urgency, Iris called her teacher, who was still blank.

“Master. Master. Do you see me?”

“….”

Light gradually returns to the man’s dazed eyes.

He slowly began to move his hand.

It was a short time for him, but he was surprised that he was also completely disconnected.

“….”

A man tightens his arm and clenches his fist.

And then what? He threw his fist at Iris who was doing it.

“Quack!”

In an instant, countless stars appeared in front of Iris’ eyes.

Originally, it was a painful night, but this time it flew at an unexpected moment.

I really didn’t expect to hit you as soon as you get out of the space of disconnection!

“Kyaaa!!”

“What have you done?”

Even in the middle of whimpering because it hurt so much, as if my head was on fire.

The moment Iris heard those words, she let out a sigh of relief.

Anyway, as he thought, it seemed that he had succeeded very well.

* * * * * * * * * *

After the conversation with Iris, one worry arose.

Remembering that, all the sleepiness that had been blowing through me ran away.

After tossing and turning on the bed, I eventually jumped out and sat down on the grass inside the castle.

“….”

There are so many stars.

“Your face is worried about something.”

“Welcome, Master.”

“You’re talking about knowing that the principal would come.”

“You show up like that, but if you don’t know, you’ll get scolded.”

Then Master smiled.

Because in the past, I didn’t notice it at all even if I showed signs like this.

It was because every time I went through a surprise attack, I had honey chestnuts stuck in my head.

Such a disciple now speaks as if he knows everything.

I can’t help but smile as a teacher who remembers those things.

Even if it feels like me right now, if Iris says something like that later.

Remembering the old days, it was clear that he would smile like Master.

“Can I sit down?”

“Yes? Oh, wait a minute….”

The place I am currently sitting is just on the grass.

Because I was sitting there looking up at the night sky in a daze.

I tried to put something on the place where Master would sit.

“It has been done. I’ll sit down quickly before I do anything stupid again.”

But Master sat right next to me.

“Did you know I haven’t answered you yet?”

“You asked if you had any concerns.”

“Yes.”

“… I don’t think you would believe me if I said no.”

“If you say no, don’t think so.”

I look back at Master’s answer without realizing it.

You’re going to let it go even though it’s obvious that it’s a lie?

No one else, Master, or the Heavenly Demon said that?

“… What kind of wind is blowing?”

“Let’s just say it’s a whim. So please try to answer. The reason why the disciple of the main seat is not able to sleep at night. Are you really worried, or are you just breathing the night air?”

I’m a bit worried about how to answer.

Why are you out and about at this hour?

That doesn’t mean that the opponents that appear in the royal castle are simply demons.

It was because there was a high possibility that it was a fragment of a demon he encountered last time, or a completely new fragment.

According to what Iris showed me, Xenia and Daisy were injured.

Even though Lily was there, even though there was a divine warrior, two warriors were injured.

To be able to do that, you can’t have a demon, you need more than that.

When it comes to existence beyond that, there is only one answer.

The cursed bastard, a fragment of the goddamn devil, appears.

It’s not even the outskirts of the continent or the stronghold of demon worshippers.

Right in the center of the continent, especially in the most formidable castle!

“Master. Do you remember that mysterious being from before?”

“… You mean the one you couldn’t do any damage to?”

“Yes.”

“I remember. He was such a great being that even I was nervous for a moment.”

This is the master who secretly followed me.

Of course, he must have encountered the fragments of the demons who were collecting the demons at the time.

“It looks like it will reappear somewhere.”

“Whoa.”

At my words, Master’s eyes slightly twisted.

It’s a habit I sometimes show when I’m interested.

“Where are you? That is where it appears.”

“… Master. Actually, I have something to tell you about it.”

This is the part I decided after thinking about it.

Hiding is not going to be a good thing.

If you can’t explain the reason, just say the part that can explain the reason.

Anyway, doesn’t Master believe that my ability is wisdom?

“I felt it the other day when I bumped into that being, but it felt like the sword couldn’t reach it.”

“… What are you talking about?”

“It is exactly what I said. It must be the sword that I was taught by my master and worked hard on myself. Oddly enough, he couldn’t reach the being. As if something was blocking it.”

My words distort Master’s impression.

It’s not that you’re mad at me, that’s the expression you get when you’re embarrassed.

“Master and me too. It is not of this world. Isn’t it?”

“Yes.”

“I’m thinking that might be the reason. Originally, it was the distance my sword had to reach unconditionally. As Master knows, am I no longer weak?”

“Yes. I don’t know if it was before, but I’m sure it’s strong now. To the extent that the name man is not a waste.”

“However, my sword did not reach me. I was thinking about that part.”

“The conclusion I came to is, you and I cannot be cut because you and I do not exist in this world. Is this?”

“For now, yes.”

Then Master said ha! And sighs of incredulity.

“My disciple. If you had not been my disciple, you would have been charged with bullsh*t.”

“….”

“However, I know that my disciple is not the kind of guy who would do that to his master. Also, I do nothing because I know that your insight is greater than my own.”

“… How can you not understand Master’s will?”

Certainly, there is an iron rule that cannot be broken no matter how hard one tries.

It is not simply a rule of society, but an absolute law that makes up this world.

If you are not a hero, you cannot do any damage to the fragments of demons.

Because I knew that better than anyone else, I felt frustrated.

However, it’s because the teacher has no way of knowing what’s inside me.

Because he was able to establish one world with a single sword.

The strongman removed his lips in a stern tone.

“The principal said. There is nothing unreachable. You are the only one who thinks that way. If you want to reach it, try to reach it. If you still can’t reach it, try again. So if you’ve only moved one step forward, squeeze the last, last bit of strength. If you do that tens of thousands of times.”

That voice when he first discussed swords with me.

With that look in his eyes, Master finished his words.

“It will be reached. Where you want to reach.”
