Gifts from the past

It was in the midst of darkness.
 
The entirety of the world was painted black.
 
To the right, left, above, and beneath, darkness swirled, enveloping everything in its black waves.
 
Darkness so deep, nothing could be seen.
 
Alone in this world, Kasumi realized.
 
It was a place that instilled unease just by being there.
 
” ………… “
 
Amidst it all, Kasumi stood alone.
 
In a place devoid of any light, her form was oddly clear.
 
Without knowing why, Kasumi began to walk forward. Stepping forward, she walked … Read the rest

“Even if you’re lucky enough to get an apprenticeship in Äußerst, won’t you be taken back to your village? You’re still a kid.”
 
“Taken back by who?”
 
“People from the village who were against it? And your family.”
 
“No one’s coming. My family… they’re all dead already.”
 
Schloss answered expressionlessly. But she could tell that painful emotions were seeping through his voice and the depths of his eyes. It was a sadness he was desperately trying to suppress, yet it was leaking out.
 
“I see.”
 
Übel replied nonchalantly, offering neither comfort nor encouragement. She didn’t think of herself as heartless. … Read the rest

“Haaaaah! What depth of magnanimity. As expected, Colonel, you look at the whole picture. Despite it being your own territory, what generous words.”
 
“Hmph…… more importantly, I want to know how much other Imperial territory will be carved out.”
 
“What they proposed was Manayata, Lahakat, and Gordia.”
 
“What. That’s quite few. In that case, an immediate decision?”
 
“No. Since Lahakat is land held by Colonel Gedol’s uncle, Lord Banueda, I managed to defend it to the death.”
 
“Hoh…… then, the only ones taken are Manayata and Gordia?”
 
“That is correct. Both are lands of … Read the rest

An Incident Sparked with Inquiry

By the time Phil returned to the mansion, the sun had completely set and night was falling.
 
“Ma, seriously? A mage hiding among thieves?”
 
A pitch-black shadow with no visible bottom suddenly materialized in the empty room.
 
From within it, Phil slowly emerged, crawling his way out like surfacing from deep water.
 
His expression showed traces of fatigue—something different from usual. It seemed the “Hero of the Shadow” had struggled with his good deeds today.
 
However, the fact that he’d shown himself meant he’d successfully completed the task.
 
Once … Read the rest

“That’s true… but what I’m a little worried about is, could there be someone trying to misuse this reincarnation magic?”
 
“Misuse?”
 
“Yes,”
 
Everyone was surprised by his statement.
 
“Based on what Kasumi said, there is a strong possibility that we aren’t the only ones who have reincarnated. If that’s the case, it wouldn’t be strange for someone to appear who intends to abuse this magic called reincarnation.”
 
“……That is certainly true.”
 
“If such a person tried to utilize reincarnation magic on a larger scale, or attempted to tamper with the magic, couldn’t the effects—like … Read the rest

In the back of the storeroom, she found a large cage. She felt the mana reaction from there.
 
When she peered inside—a boy was clutching his knees, looking terrified.
 
“W-Who are you…?”
 
Übel scratched her cheek.
 
—This might have turned into a bit of a pain.
 
“Hmph. So, you were kidnapped.”
 
Übel said, resting her chin on her hand as she watched the boy gnaw on some bread in the living room. She had cleaned up the table earlier—though “cleaning” just meant pushing everything on top of it onto the floor.
 
After letting the boy out of the cage, … Read the rest

“Ah, that’s right. Master, do you have a geography book in your room?”
 
“……I do, but you aren’t going to say ‘Lend it to me?’, are you?”
 
“Why not? It’s not like it will wear out.”
 
“Sigh… I am astounded. To win against me, you ask me for help?”
 
“I’m not expecting help. I’m just saying it’s fine to lend it, aren’t I?”
 
There shouldn’t be any problem with the Contract Magic, either. After all, her goal here isn’t to defeat Hazen, but to help Major Simanto.
 
“Sigh… looking at your audacity reminds me … Read the rest

“Certainly, there’s nothing particularly strange to be seen. If I had to point something out, it would be that the head of the recently hired maid is a little… odd?”
 
“Are you saying my head is strange? I’ll crush you right up to the edge of a broadcast accident, you know?”
 
“Stop it, we’re trying to make sure even children at home can enjoy this.”
 
Being kept to a small voice, it didn’t sound like a joke.
 
Can’t you two get along a bit? Phil, caught in the middle, looked exhausted.
 
“But it’s weird that that shy Lily would warm … Read the rest

“Fine, fine, I get it. Conversation’s over. I’ll get serious.”
 
Übel walked toward him composedly.
 
Was it a close-quarters attack? But there was no large fluctuation in her mana, and she didn’t even ready her staff. He couldn’t read what she was going to do, but it couldn’t be that great of a spell—
 
“[Reelseiden] (Magic that Cleaves Almost Anything).”
 
Übel whispered softly.
 
Then, she swung her staff lightly, as if swishing away a fly.
 
In that instant, time seemed to compress like a panoramic vision of one’s life.
 
Burg was certain.
 
This is bad.
 
If I take this head-on, … Read the rest

Chapter 2: Blade and Needle

 
In a forest on the outskirts of a village, a single girl was crouching down.
 
She looked to be about six or seven years old. Her hair was tied to the side, and she wore a thin one-piece dress that looked easy to move in. Despite her active appearance, the girl remained as still as a bronze statue. She wasn’t sunbathing, nor was she in pain. She was simply staring intently at the ground.
 
At the end of her gaze lay the carcass of a mantis.
 
Swarming ants were gnawing away at the remains, forming … Read the rest
