...... Alfazul!　This situation is your doing!

　The first and foremost question that should be asked first and foremost is.

　In this situation, the person to be suspected as the cause is also this guy.

　In fact, it could even be said that I have no other idea what is going on.

　However, Alfazl just cowered his shoulders and made a silly gesture.

You may not believe it, but I had nothing to do with this situation you're in. There's no way to prove it, though.
'Are you seriously saying ...... that it's irrelevant? Even in this world you are ......
'No, that's not it either. It wasn't me who recreated this world.

　I couldn't help but be speechless at the statement that undermined every hypothesis.

　It was none other than Alphasul who gave me the Right Eye of Wisdom.

　And yet you insist that it has nothing to do with the world that has been recreated inside it?

He said, "Think about it. The first and last time you and I encountered each other was in the middle of the battle with Gandalf. What was the shape of the space we were in at that time?
...... It's .......

　It was impossible to forget.

　At that time, we were confronted with nothing - no walls, no sky, just pure white emptiness.

　Even if I had made a mistake, there would have been no such thing as a realistic cityscape like this.

'It was in that space that I had sealed off my virtual personality. I didn't recreate the ruined cityscape.
'If only it were ......!　What the hell is this place?!

　I leaned forward on the table and raised my voice.

　I am now as young as a child, and Alfazul has the appearance of a youthful young man, but mentally there should be no change in my mind from the time of the first encounter.

　I'm sure that the one before me is an old sage who has fought to the end of the world and has accumulated knowledge that is beyond my reach.

I have a rough idea. I have a pretty good idea who recreated the defunct civilization and what the hell it was for that they created this thing and invited you in. But ...... now is not the time to talk about it yet.
............!
Don't look so scared.

　Alfazul leaned back in his chair and twisted his mouth into a wry smile.

　When they were conversing like this, I almost felt a strange sense of security, feeling that Alfazul, who Gandalf and the others showed an attachment that was close to faith, was one person.

　No, maybe that's why it's an odd obsession.

　It's not a distant presence that you can only look up to in the distance and unilaterally offer respect, but because it was a presence that continued to walk next to you - even after losing it, the strong feeling never disappears, and it's as if it has grown stronger with each passing star and frost. --

There is an order to things, and so is knowledge and information. Knowledge and information are the same. If you don't see and hear things in the right order, you can end up with a distorted understanding. That's what I've found to be the truth of the matter.
...... If I start getting the right answers from you here and now, does that mean I'm going to end up in a bad way?
I'm concerned about that. I'm not making any assurances.

　I'm not sure if it's not a good idea, but it's a good idea.

　I'm not sure I can understand ...... whether this is a branch that has no deep meaning, or if it's a real affirmation but I don't dare to do it.

　But the logic itself is in the category of convincing.

　When explaining something to others, if you don't communicate in an orderly and reasoned manner, there is always the risk of unnecessary confusion and misinterpretation.

　If it's just confusion, it can be undone. But if you've given them a completely different understanding of something and can't correct it, it can end badly for both of you in some cases.

'Alfazul. By the way you say it, is this world where 'someone' is trying to tell me 'something'?
'Let's generally affirm it. It doesn't necessarily mean 'you' is the only target, though.
It could have been anyone, but I just happened to meet the requirements. You don't make any assertions about this either, do you?

　I didn't respond aloud, but Alfazul's expression showed a silent affirmation.

　I let out a long sigh and decided to sort through the information I had gleaned from the exchange so far in my mind.

　First of all, this memory world, which was a reproduction of an ancient magical civilization, was not created by Alphasul, contrary to my expectations.

　It seemed that some unidentified person who created this space had prepared such a large device in order to convey some information to a third party, but we don't know what it was and even who the supposed target of the transmission was.

　It seems that Alfazul already knows everything, but he refuses to tell the truth, fearing that it will prevent that person from communicating the information as he intended.

'(On the flip side, it's who Alfazul would think of giving such consideration to. I think this alone narrows it down quite a bit: ...... After all, that ......)

　Currently, there are only a handful of suspects that can be counted on one hand.

　The most likely candidate is you.

　If that person was the one who created the world of memory, then some of the discomfort I've felt up until now will be melted away.

　However, we can't deny the possibility that it's someone whose name and existence we don't even know, and in that case, we're completely screwed.

'This is a good opportunity. I'll answer a few of the things you may be concerned about.

　As soon as he said that, Alfazul repeated his precise statement as if he had read my mind.

''First of all, I don't intend to force you to give up your body at this time. Unless you are forced into a situation where you have no other recourse, that is.
Don't you want to meet ...... Gandalf and the Ail?
'We've said our goodbyes long ago. I'm not rejecting the idea of seeing them again, but that doesn't mean it's a goal to be fulfilled at all costs. I can't even begin to grasp how they feel about it, though.

　Should we say that this is the difference in values between the living and the dead themselves?

　I wonder what their reaction will be when they hear this.

''And one more thing. This 'right eye'.

　Alfazul lightly tapped the side of his 'right eye' that had eroded around the eye socket with his finger.

''With each successive activation, the magic's activation area keeps expanding, and cracks are starting to run all the way around the eye socket, right?　And I fear it won't be far off and irreversible: ...... Isn't it?
...... Do you usually read my mind?
It happened to me once. You don't need to be a mind reader to know that.

　The expression on his face as he said this was both smiling and pitying - or a face that looked like a face before fun.

'Let's get to the bottom of it. There's no problem with the current usage. I've set up multiple fetters from within, you see. But ...... if you want more power, be careful. Every time you remove one of the three fetters, you will steadily become unable to return, one step at a time.
