 This is followed by Rustyala falling from the sky with Dia and Maria on either side of him.
 Apparently, they have jumped and moved over the roof of the house.

'Kanami! Are you okay!

 Rustyala landed next to me and lowered the two men on either side of me to the ground, checking on my safety.

'These guys ......, how dare you ...... Kanami!
Kanami-san, do you mind if I kill these people? Permission, please. Permission now.

 The look on Dia and Maria's faces was hard to take with anger.
 It was nice to have reinforcements, but this was tricky. To be honest, the rain of fire earlier was too much. It clearly wasn't a good output to shoot on the ground.
 I'll try to quiet them down first so that the two of them don't go out of control.

''No, no, you don't have to go that far! Because this is just like a match! Because they don't want to kill me!
'A match, is it ......? It looked unusual for that: ......

 Maria looked around without reigning in the killing spirit.
 Ryner turns away from Maria, while Rouge and Noir are surprised to see her mouth wide open.
 Among them, only Ayde calmly assessed the situation and greeted them.

''Hmm, it looks like we have more guests. Nice to meet you, my own name is Ayd.''

 The four of us looked at the four of us as if we were treading on prices.
 And their eyes were shining as if they were looking at a jewel.

Hmmm, it's an impressive sight. All of our guests (all of them) are full of talent and grace. ...... Mr. Reiner! Keep fighting with all of our guests!
Well, wait a minute, Dr. Eid! Just don't mess with this face!

 He instructs Ryner to continue the fight, but Ryner turns blue and shakes his head.
 He's watching the match of the 'Mai-Tokai'. Maybe that's why he doesn't seem to want to deal with Rustyala, who has become serious.

 I also take advantage of Ryner's words and propose a truce.

''Id! I'd be able to make sense of it in a game, but these three guys don't get the joke! No more!

 If it's not done well, the ordeal of forty layers will begin here.
 I still don't understand anything about the existence of the id. I didn't want to just defeat someone I thought we might be able to understand.
 But that desperate consideration does not reach the Aide.

''Don't mind me, Uzurinami-sama. If it's your own magic, you will be completely cured as long as you don't die. There's no one who's better than you in the healing process. Fight to your heart's content, yes, to your heart's content (...) and show me what you have. And show me the depth of your heart--!

 He didn't seem to have any intention of pulling back on the id.
 When Maria heard that, she let the fire rise to the surface.

'Kanami-san, you say that, but ......?'

 With permission, it looks like it's going to blow up the pavilion any moment now.
 Dia is silently finishing the magic construction. The achievement of clearing Reil-san's mansion is fresh in my mind, so I break out in a cold sweat.

 The swiftly regrets that I called my companions into the swift air.
 Then, leaving me to think about how to persuade them, Rouge and Noir begin to build their magic.

''While I'm saying that, let's do it!
''It was a bit of a surprise, but if it wasn't a surprise attack, there's no way we'd be defeated by magic! 
Resonant magic 'Gravity Demon'!
Resonant magic 'Gravity Demon'!

 The mass of magical power that crushes everything is coming at us while scraping the ground.
 In response to the enemy's attack, the two wizards here also use magic.

Sacred Magic 'Theon'
The Flame Flame Flamberge.

 Dia's light diminished the momentum of the magic, and Maria's flames cut it in half.
 In an instant, Rouge and Noir's full strength magic was erased.

''Heh, eh ......?''
That ......?

 They must have been very confident in their magic. Rouge and Noir, whose magic had been erased, seemed unable to believe the situation in front of them.

 Taking advantage of the gap, Rustyala attacked the girls.
 Due to her personality, she wouldn't go out of nowhere to kill them, but she would break one or two of their arms without a care in the world. Ryner, who knows this from watching the semi-finals of the ballroom party, hurriedly enters between them.

''Well, wait, the present god!
Brother, get out of my way!

 Rastiara easily surpasses Ryner's twin-sword technique. When it comes to a head-to-head match with no support, Ryner is still beyond our reach.
 Unable to catch Rastiara's onslaught, Ryner is kicked away. 
 However, that attack and defense bought us some time. Rouge and Noir behind them are chanting magic with a half-crazed look.

''Seriously, it's just something that was wrong earlier! -- 'Gravity Demon'!
'I haven't lost yet! -- 'Gravity Demon'!

 The largest mass of magic power in the world is coming towards us.
 Naturally, this one responds and casts magic.

"-- 'Flame Decisive Operation (Gradient)'
The Flame Arrow.

 A path of fire is created by Maria, and then Dia's magical flame arrow passes through it. It's a 'Flame Arrow' that takes the form of a flame rather than a ray of light because it's tame.
 The magic and magic of the two camps collide and a push each other by magic power begins.

 But the pushing each other was only for a moment.

 It's not a good idea to have a good time with them. Even so, the fire magic easily drowned out the mass of magic power, and the aftermath of the explosion of flames blew Rouge and Noir away.
 It seems that Maria and Dia's reasoning is still intact. Hearing my words, I can see that they are quite tame.

 The sullen Rouge and Noir are shocked when they understand the difference in power.
 Then a grumpy Dia advises them.

'Since Kanami called it a match, I won't stop. But if you stand up, I don't know if you'll die this time.

 Rouge and Noir lose the will to fight.

'They're too strong, these guys! You're even more of a monster than Hailey-sister (hey)!
'Mmmm, mmmm I can't. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. ......!

 Seeing this, Ryner was relieved and Rustyala also stopped attacking.
 However, only Aide hadn't given up on the fight yet.

''It's not over yet. ......

 Saying that, the id, who hadn't moved once during the battle, takes a step forward.
 Then, while releasing a strange magical power worthy of a guardian (Guardian), he makes the two people who fell down stand up.

''It's bad for my education, but it can't be helped. I'll join myself. Let's further intensify the effect of the magic. --'Growth', 'Sense Breath' and 'Branch Wood Shell'.

 In one breath, he builds up three magics. And then the emerald green magic permeates the two of them.
 With that alone, the world around Rouge and Noir distorted. Even though it was just a strengthening magic, its magic power was extraordinary.

 Visibly, you can tell that magic beyond 'reason' has been used.

 Rouge and Noir, who are receiving that magic power and having it strengthened, are more surprised than anyone else.

''Eh, yeah, what is this? Reinforcement magic can only go so far: ......? This is what I call the ultimate in auxiliary-focused wizards: ......!
Oh, my God! I'd be happy to do this one more time: ......!

 Rouge and Noir looked at their palms and were amazed.

 I'm surprised too.
 When I looked at the status in 'Gazing', I found that the level of enhancement was unpredictable.

--Status: body enhancement 24.77 magic enhancement 30.98 magic barrier 3.28--

 The value of the enhancement magic on the two of them jumped up to more than ten times.

''Now, here's the real deal, the one that steals the logic of the tree. ......! -- 'Cure Fool Field', 'Strath Field' and 'Limbo Field'!

 The id extends its arms and spreads its own magical power across the garden.
 Particles like the light of fireflies dance and color the battlefield to green.

 A small life sprouts from the dug-up earth. That life grows rapidly and transforms into a magnificent grass. A rundown garden is transformed into a prairie.

 We approach the scene of the forty layers we saw in the labyrinth.
 I can see that the guardian (guardian) in front of me has gotten serious.

 The dark magical power of the id envelops us.
 And in front of me are two 'Jewelcrus' who have been strengthened by the Aide's magic. Behind me are two strategic-class companions who can't take a joke.

 This is not good.
 If this is the case, a serious battle is about to begin.
 I'm not sure if this is a good idea.

The only thing that can be done is to make sure that you have the right information.

 I tried to stop the fight in between - and noticed a great discomfort.
 The green light had seeped into our bodies as well.

 --is the magic of the id healing us as well?

 The field magic of the id that fills the garden is working on us as well.
 The dazzling magical light is 'assisting' us as well. That magic is gentle and there is no malice in it.

 The three magics declared by the id are 'Cure Fool Field', 'Strath Field' and 'Removing Field'. As I recall, it was a wide range of recovery and supplementary magic, which is not particularly unusual.
 As far as I can feel in "Dimension", there is no discrepancy between the magic names and effects.

 However, the kindness of those recovery magics - they're too dense (・・・・).
 It's a recovery magic that resembles an obsession, as if it intends to cure everything in this world. The density is unusual.

 Under the influence of that magic, mutations appear in my body.
 I'm not going to be able to get it right. You're going to be able to find a way to get the job done. I'm sure of it. --I'm sure you'll be able to find the best way to get the most out of your time.

 I'm not going to be able to say that I'm not going to be able to do that.

 I'm not going to be able to get the same thing done.

 --The magic is unraveling (・・・・・・・・).

 It is not the unfolded dimensional magic 'dimension' that is unraveling. Rather, my magic is being sharpened.

 A different kind of "something" is unraveling. It was like pulling the thread out of a loose end of a scarf.

 I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to get it back.
 I don't know what I'm talking about, but something inside of me is being lost.

"--what's this ......?

 That 'something' is what was binding me.
 I lose my bindings and a certain memory is released.
 Like a flashback, various memories flicker on and off.

 Many memories that pass by. I'm sure that this is--.

 -- "Black Sky" -- a huge towering castle -- many people in agony -- people. A masked man and a girl - battling monsters they have never seen before - a horrific horde of monsters - piercing the heavens as they protect the A great tree walks as if it were a great tree - the dark cloud that covers the continent transforms into a giant and makes people despair - and they arrive - all that they touch. The two of them went under the freezing monster - and in front of that monster...

 --The pain is intense in the head.

 It's as if a foreign object has entered your flesh.
 The pain makes it hard to focus on the memory.

 --Ouch.

 Ouch, ouch, ouch!

 My head hurts. But there is a place that hurts even more.
 It's not physical pain, but mental pain. My mind screams, refusing this memory.
 The pain of the rupture that seems to forcibly rip my mind and body apart almost sends my consciousness flying.

 I'm about to scream - and am stopped by another scream from behind me.

''--Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!

 I looked backwards, straining against the pain.
 It was Dia's voice.

'Dear, what's wrong!

 Maria called out with Dia's shoulder.
 But Dia only continued to scream as she turned her eyes to the heavens.

 --Not good.
 This is not good.

 I must run to Dia immediately. But my body didn't move.
 Instead, an unbelievable feeling rises up.

 --I don't want to help because I hate Dia, I hate her so much (・・・・・・).

 That's what I've been thinking.

"Hey, what's this ......!

 Muddled emotions swirl around me.
 Feeling a mental abnormality, I immediately check the status with my 'gaze'

--Status: confusion 7.88--.

 However, nothing had changed.
 The skill '??' is protecting the confusion, so the "Confusion 7.88" remains.
 But that's it.
 That's normal. I'm not going to be able to get it to work. I'm not even going to be able to activate the ?

 I look to Rustyala for help.
 I'm not sure if she knows much about magic or not, she might be able to explain this situation.

 But what I looked at was a girl who was holding her head in her hands.

''Ugh, uu ......, what, so ......! Why, why, why (...) ......!

 Rustyala was shaking.
 And he's red in the face, breathing heavily, and keeps asking himself the question.

 I also check Rastiara's status.
 However, as expected, there was no state abnormality to be found.
 Nevertheless, Rastiara looks unusual. I'm going to be able to see that his face is red and restless, just like the night of the past. She's so excited that she feels as if she's going to run off at any moment.

''Ouch, ugh--!

 I clutched at my chest until I bled.

 There is nothing wrong with anyone's condition. Rather, it's 'normal'.
 And yet, my emotions are wavering. No, it's not even close to wavering.
 Horrible emotions came up and wouldn't stop. I can't stop that torrent.

 --I hate Dia.
 --I can't believe Rustyala.
 --I want to keep Maria away.

 Hatred and murderous intent. Distrust and suspicion. Aversion and disappointment.
 An outpouring of emotions that I don't remember or have no context for.

 -- no doubt about it.
 This is a mental attack of the enemy, of course. I need to heal myself with mental magic right away. I know. But I'm too busy suppressing my emotions to move.

 In front of the powerful enemy of the guardian (Guardian), me, Rustyala, and Dea, the three of us, go to our knees and can't move a single step.

 It was a decisive gap.

 However, the enemy's attack never came.
 The other side was baffled by this situation as well.
 Rouge is surprised and scared by our exclamations.

''What, what is this ....... Suddenly we're all torn apart, but ....... Ide-sensei, you had this kind of attack magic .......

 Fighting is what you want, but attacking an unprotected opponent doesn't seem to be in your nature.

 Noir's side of the line was left and right, unsure of what was going on.
 Ryner was shouting at Ayde as he crowded him.

'Hey, Ayd! What's going on here! What did you do to those guys!

 However, even Aide, the one who would have created this situation, was baffled.
 After making so many declarations and agitating everyone, he had lost the will to fight in the face of the collapsed status quo.

''No, no, I'm the one who is surprised ....... I just deployed the recovery magic realm (field) and created a situation where I could fight to the fullest. As you know, I don't have any attack magic, so ......, I can only distract you with the light of my recovery magic .......

 Apparently Id hadn't expected this either.
 With the loss of the will to fight, the green light in the garden gradually disappears. While disarming the deployed magic, I'm unsure of what to do next.

 From the looks of it, it seems that there really isn't any attack magic in The One Who Steals the Reason of the Tree.

'But Christ and the Apostles are suffering! There's something wrong with the present god, too!

 Instead of us suffering and unable to move, Ryner continues his pursuit.
 As he grabs his chest, Ayde puts his hand to his chin and thinks. Then he slowly begins to spit out his thoughts.

'...... What I developed is the basics, 'magic to heal wounds' and 'magic to heal state abnormalities'. Of course, since it is my own special creation, its effect is ultimate. In a manner of speaking, it cuts off all ties and ties, and it is sublimated into a magic that restores things to "what they are". ...... Maybe that's what it's all about.
"As is? Are you saying that this is what Christ and his people are!

 Indicating the three of us who are about to pass out from blasting the contents of our stomachs right now, Ryner shouts in a rage.
 In response, Ayd nodded silently.

''Uh, um, so, is it okay if I take him down like this ......?''

 Rouge, who has been completely left behind, begins to prepare his magic.
 It would be a no-brainer to defeat us, which is full of gaps.

 Then Maria, the only one of us who wasn't harmed, stands in the way.
 She wears a magical power as thick as that of her guardian id and glares at the enemy.

'I won't let you do any more ....... If you come by, I will burn you.''
"Geez, there's still a flame wizard left.

 Maria doesn't know what's going on, but she seems to be aware of the current situation.
 I am the only one who can fight now, and I will protect the three people who are stuck. It looks like he has sworn in his heart to protect the three of us who can't move.

 However, my heart is not at peace.
 It's not a good idea for Maria to fight alone without a vanguard.

 Fortunately, while the other side was struggling, Rustyala was walking towards us while wobbling. Of the three people affected, she seemed to be the least symptomatic.

''La, Rastiara ......, sacred magic--''

 --Please.
 I'm at a loss for words when I say "please.

 I want to ask. But inexplicably, I'm afraid to ask.
 Due to unidentified emotions, I can't even look at Rustiala squarely in the eye.

 For some reason (...), I can't think of Rastiara as (・・・・・・・) a (・・・・) fellow (・・・・) .......

'Kanami--'

 In inverse proportion, Lastiara's gaze is hot. She stared at me and wouldn't look away.
 Her face was red and her eyes were moist.
 His breathing remained ragged.

 I manage to shake off the unidentified emotions and give him instructions.

Please, Rastiara. Use your sacred magic. This is not going to work.

 Eye to eye, I ask Rustyala for some magic.

'...... um, yeah.' -- 'Strathfield'.

 Rastiara activated her sacred magic while her face was turned down.
 A gentle light leaks from her body and envelops me, Rustyala, and Dea in the distance.

 It's a warm and comfortable light.
 I feel a power that seems to dissolve all malice.

 But--

"--aaaahhhhhhhh! Shut up and don't talk!

 Dia's frenzy in the rear doesn't stop.
 Neither will I. The unidentified outpouring of emotion won't stop, and the pain in my head won't stop.
 It hurts like a millstone being ground into my brain.

 If you look at it, Rastiara is still breathing as hard as ever.

''Wha, why was that! Why can't I get better!

 In fact, it even feels worse.
 Black emotions fill my head, not just pain, but frustration and anger swells.

 I can feel my reasoning being eroded by the emotions in my hands.

 Oh, I hate--.
 I can't... I can't stop...

 Hateful, hateful, hateful, hateful, hateful, and filled with unidentified hatred.
 Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, and unidentified disbelief fills the air.
 Disappear, disappear, disappear, disappear, disappear, disappear, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on.

 -- oh, I can't believe anything anymore.

 When I'm filled with that feeling.
 Rustyala, Dia, Maria. None of them could be considered friends anymore.

 And my body moved on its own.
 The one person the unidentified emotions hated the most was Dia, screaming backwards.

 Leaving behind Rustyala next to me, leaving behind Maria who was protecting me, leaving behind Ryner and the others who were enemies, even the guardians (guardians), I was moving my feet, with only Dia in my sight.

 Dea, who was out of sight, was also looking at me.
 Her blue luminescent eyes reflected my figure.

''Oh, ah, ah, ......, Kiri, strike ......! No! It's not a kanami! Not Kanami!

 While letting the words slip out, Dia was also slowly walking towards me.
 The distance between me and Dea is getting closer.
 In proportion, the eruption of unidentified emotions also accelerates.
 Hatred fostered hatred, and the intertwined and amplified black emotions all turned into killing intent.

 My hands regrasped my sword and pointed its cutting edge at Dia.

 Trembling, I move my mouth.

'Di, Dia, wait! If you come any closer to me...

 --They will kill each other.

 It doesn't matter what we want, we'll be forced to.

 But Dia doesn't stop. On the contrary, she is concocting a large amount of magic power and constructing a magic we have never seen before.
 An unseen magic circle unfolds from the tip of her lost right arm, and a light like golden sand erupts. The light converged in the blink of an eye and transformed into an arm of pure white. The scene reminds me of the Guardian Tida.
 An unidentified magic circle is deployed not only on her right arm, but also on her right eye and back. Dia's beautiful blue eyes emit light from one of them. And from her back, particles of magic power erupted like wings.

 This was Dia's true form--the 'true enemy', I thought.

 If I get this close, I will slay the enemy called Dia.
 That's how much emotion is filling my thoughts.

 Regardless of my will, I will slay it.
 Yes.
 My will means nothing to me-- 

"-No way, no way, no way, no way!

 I thrust my own thigh with the sword in my grip.
 Then I let my body sink down and stitched the sword up to the ground.

 Dia is the enemy?
 No way! He's the first friend and companion I've made since I came to another world! I have that memory! I can remember it like it was yesterday! I'm not 'normal' now! If Deere isn't on our side, who is!

 I'm announcing this to everyone. I declare them all, myself included.

No, they're not the enemy! I'm not going to be confused anymore!

 The will is twisted and played with - that's the most unforgivable thing of all.
 I remember it, and it inspires my mind to play with unidentified emotions.

 I don't want to succumb to the manipulation of my emotions and memories again.

 I use my anger to keep my bad feelings in check.
 I twist my stabbing sword and the pain in my head is overridden by the pain in my leg.

 Now my body is mine. ......!

Christ!

 Seeing me self-harming, Dia's eyes also light up with will.
 The light in her luminous eyes disappears and she grabs her white right arm with her flesh-and-blood left arm. Smoke rises from Dear's left palm, as if she had grasped a hot iron.
 Still, Deere did not relax and crushed his white arm in his grip.

'Christ is my friend! I'm not going to let you do this anymore. --Holy Magic 'Infate'!

 He uses his entire body's magical power to build magic, and hits himself with oversized sacred magic.
 As it was, Dia lost consciousness and fell to the ground.

 --I was saved.

 The bad feelings that had been building up inside me as Dia fainted were fading away.
 For the time being, we avoided getting into a shootout.
 At the same time, I also feel my consciousness fading away. I've lost the enemy I should be fighting, and my entire body is losing strength.

 Then I shift my eyes from Dia to the enemy.
 There, regardless of our suffering, there is an id chanting a new magic.

''--I'm not very good at it, but I can't say. Spellcraft (...) 'Gazing Appraisal (Analyze)'.

 It was a magic name I'd heard. And it was a magic construction I'd felt before.
 Aide 'gazes' at me with a look of anguish on her face.

'...... Is that what you mean?'

 I'm astonished by the results, I'm convinced, and after a bit of hesitation, Ayde looks as if he's made up his mind to do something.

 But for me, it doesn't matter how Ayde has changed.
 I'm not going to be able to get a good idea of what I'm talking about.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this.

 I draw my stabbing sword and shout to the id, which is calmly observing me.
 With all the magical power of my body and soul, I intimidate my enemy, the Aide. In fact, you want to attack him with your sword. However, although he is filled with anger and wariness, his body does not listen to him at all.

 A horrible amount of blood was flowing from his thigh where the sword had been pulled out. The sensation of pain is gone and the wound even feels cold.

 Aide, who was hit by the wariness, shook her head sadly.

''That's a misunderstanding, Uzurinami-sama. I really just made myself what I am, just as I am. This is the truth, Uzurinami-sama. ...... Indeed, I've been shown the depths of your heart, you know.

 With that said, Ayde makes all magic disappear.
 All the light in the garden disappears and the enhancements to Rouge and Noir and the others are cut off.
 Ayde seems to be satisfied with everything on her own. His will to fight is gone, and he looks rather pitying.

''Even though it's a shining gemstone, this doesn't make it a 'reserve king'. It's too distorted ....... If it is possible, it's only a blind girl--

 I glanced at Maria.
 Maria gathered her magical power to protect us from the rear. 

''--No, let's not make the same mistake again.

 Immediately, Ayde turned her gaze away from Maria.
 He looked up and smiled as he looked at the blue sky.

''The appraisal is done. Let's go, everyone.

 Then he shows his back and tries to leave this place.
 Against that back, Maria does nothing. Although her face is facing forward, her awareness of the flames is turned towards us. She seems to be calmly prioritizing the safety of her companions as her top priority.

 I can't move either.

 My eyes are blurry and my head is dizzy.
 I've lost too much blood. Honestly, I can't even take a step forward.
 The pain in both my body and my mind is making me distant, and it's hard to hear my voice anymore.
 With my sword as my staff, it's all I can do not to fall.

 Aide directs Rouge and Noir to take Sia and Hailey out of the building. On the way, a disgruntled-looking Ryner asks Aide.

''Oh, hey. Are you sure it's safe to leave those guys like this?
That's all right, Mr. Rainer. It's just the healing pain, so to speak. It'll pass.
That's the pain of therapy ......?
'Yes, the guests are temporarily counteracting all the magic - the external factors - and are facing their true selves. It's just a state recovery spell that I've performed. Well, it's specially made at the highest level.
No, if you're really recovering, it's okay: ......

 The Shear Party leaves us and moves away from the mansion.
 For now, it looks like the threat is leaving. I can feel the tension release and my consciousness fade further.

 My vision sinks into the fog.
 I can no longer recognize any of the voices, and I don't even know whose voice it is anymore.

''--But sooner than that, let's head to the place where Palinclone Legacy is. We have to hurry--

 In my dazed consciousness, I can hear the conversation of the idols.
 However, the voices are distant and can only be heard in a distant, choppy voice.

'--So goodbye, gentlemen. And Arti. I'm glad to see you're with your loved ones this time.
"-What? Oh, do you know Alty: ......?
''She was a 'reserve king' just like Uzuraha-sama. In the end, I didn't use her until the end ......--

 Then, after checking out the idols leaving the grounds of the pavilion with Dimension, I let go of my consciousness.
 It seems that my mental limits have long since been exceeded.
 With a pang, my vision turns pitch black.

''--Good.''

 So I didn't know who the last gentle voice I heard belonged to.
