The magic of the Dimension Graduate "Prequel (Recall)" is cancelled and the journey of the "Past Vision" is over. At the same time, a question escapes my mouth.

''Why is my father ......?''

　The last thing I saw was my dad's face. There's no doubt about it.
　I wonder why he could see my past when he saw Nosfi's memories ....... I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the world, and you'll be able to find out what's going on in the world. Right now, I need to focus on Nosfy rather than that .......

'Kanami's brother!　Are you okay?　You're a mess!　Did you get a good look at Mr. Nosfi's past?!

　Lagune, who was waiting for me to return from magic next to her, shakes my shoulder worriedly.
　I lightly looked at the status and found that a large amount of MP had been consumed, but there was no abnormality in the 'state'. However, it's an 'indication' that I can no longer trust completely. I immediately relied on my own senses to confirm the abnormality within my body and brain.

　The first thing I did was to check the brightness of the vision in my eyes.
　Is the world dark or bright now? How much am I losing because of this 'compensation'? Am I aware of that? --I'm going to find out based on the information from the 'past vision' I just mentioned.

'Yeah, it's okay ....... Thanks, Lagune. I've been watching you. Thanks to you, I finally figured it out: ......

　I'm tired after the Great Magic, but my senses feel normal.
　Although it's hard to be relieved, it doesn't seem to interfere with my future activities. For now, I'm going to report the results to Lagune, who protected me while using magic.

The only thing I can think of is that it's not a good idea. The founder, who was revered in Revanism, was a really lousy guy ....... Yeah, really .......

　It sucked.
　But I guess that's my true form. All this time I've been treating myself from a thousand years ago as a different person, calling myself the 'primitive Kanami', but this time I think I was able to treat myself (me) as myself (me).

　The man, Aikawa Uzumi, had a wild, foul-mouthed, irresponsible temperament. He had given up on thinking and became desperate, continuing to fight his visible enemies and causing trouble for everyone involved.

'I was hurting, destroying and cornering Nosfies ....... And he insisted that I had nothing to do with it and didn't admit to any of it ...... and at the end of the day, he forgot that he even had anything to do with it .......
...... haha. I knew it was Kanami's brother who was to blame.

　I will admit it now.
　Then, one more thing. I'll answer why I didn't try to face Nosfi, based on my childhood memories at the end of The Past View.

'Now I know exactly why I avoided Nosfies, too. ...... That Nosfi was me. I'm the very same me who was unable to take a step forward because my parents didn't care about me for a long time and just kept looking at my back. Maybe I hated to see Nosfi do the same thing I did as a kid: ......
'Fuumu ....... I see. I see. I guess I was running away from it in a double sense.

　It was myself that I was looking at, projecting onto Nosfy. There was a sense of inferiority there that I didn't want to remember, along with an irrevocable sense of guilt. So I looked away.

'Nosfy has everything about me that I hate ....... I subconsciously avoided her because I didn't want to see that. As it turns out, it's really easy to ....... It was a really lousy thing to do .......
'I see. So what is Kanami's brother going to do when he finds out the truth about Nosfi-san: ......?　That's the most important part.
Maybe it will be business as usual from here on out.

　It took me a long time to admit it.
　But now I know I was wrong. I understand. And that's what's important.

　I never look down, I look forward.
　I never look down and look forward. The 'logic-stealers' I've seen in my time have a good look on their faces when they realize their mistakes and the truth. I'll follow suit.

'The usual?　Um, well, what do you mean by "as usual" ......?
'I'll do my usual guardian (guardian) battle. I'm going to meet Nosfi, face to face, open up and really talk to him. I'll talk anyway. I'm sure the more I talk, the more I'll admit what I don't like about myself ...... and I think I'll end up apologizing all the time ....... Still, I'll finish the 'discussion' with her. I'm responsible for that .......
I see. That's true, as usual. But I have a feeling that even Kanami's brother will lose his mind in the process. So to speak, Nosfi is a guardian for Kanami's brother.
...... okay. I'm confident that I won't break until the end. I'm sure that my battle with the guardians (all of them) to this day has been for this moment as well. I can change this cowardly, lying, calculating, vain, delusional and shameless character - thanks to the guardians (all of them).

　This guardian battle will not only be against Nosfi, the "One Who Steals the Reason of Light", but I will also be fighting against the "One Who Steals the Reason of Dimension" myself at the same time.

　I've been lecturing the guardians (all of them) with such high-handedness, but the moment it's my turn, I can't even say "it's impossible".

　It is true that there are many things I don't like about myself. But that disliked part of me is slowly changing thanks to everyone else.
　Just by remembering your faces, I can truly believe that I will not make the same mistakes again. Everyone's way of life is a lesson to me, and it lives on in my heart. That's why it's okay. I can face myself, even with NOSFI.

　Seeing my enthusiasm for this, Lagune-chan tries to confirm it with suspicion.

I wonder if your stinky personality is really going to change?　It's not easy to get to the fundamentals, is it?
'We can change it. I can definitely change it for Nosfies.

　Some things are already changing.
　I wouldn't have been able to make any assurances here in the past. I wasn't the kind of person to promise what I couldn't promise. Little by little, my cowardice is disappearing and I'm becoming braver.

　That's right.
　Since it's a great opportunity, why don't we change the first person to 'I' instead of 'I' ......?
　No, it would be a surprise to people to suddenly see it. It's important to change from the substance, not the form.

'Oooh, I didn't know you could withstand this continuous shaking ....... Kanami's brother. That's quite a nice touch! This is a good report for the young lady!

　Seeing my bullish assertion, Lagune gives me high marks.
　I start to move, reassured by that assessment.

'Right. Let's get back inside and report back to the guys as soon as possible. Then we'll be nosfies soon.
'Oui!　Something tells me my cheeks are safe now!

　The story is moving along at a brisk pace, and Ragne squeals with delight as she heads back into the house. Before I can do so, I take a step closer to her and throw her a thank-you note.

'Ragne, thank you so much ....... Ragne gave me the courage to face Nosfi. I will definitely save Nosfi, and I will save you too.

　I promise Ragne that I'll take a step closer in calling him, too.
　I owe my current firmness of will to Lagune. I won't let her, who has become one of the few people who understands me, die in this kind of battle that I just got involved in.

"Nosfi-san also (・・・・・・・・) I'll save (・・・・) me, too," says ....... Oh no, that's really bullshit!　I don't hate my brother now.
'Lagne will never let you die. ...... Never.

　I'm tempted to be strong and say that I'm going to save Lagne. To put it bluntly, Lagune has now saved me. I can say that I challenged the "the thief of dimensionality" that was wandering the streets head on and won. I must repay him for this.

　As I was making up my mind to do so alone, Lagune, who had been staring back at me, began to let out a dry laugh.

''...... Haha. If I look at Kanami's brother, I feel like I can have courage too.

　And finally, I'll talk about myself, not about me.

'Ragne too ......?'
I've always had a habit of giving up, you know. When I know I'm going to lose, I lose motivation and give up - a bad habit of mine. But there are many times when you have to fight, even if you know you're going to lose. Take this wound, for example. There is no time to make excuses because you might die. ......

　Like me, she's the type of person who calculates everything before she fights. I think she understands herself that because of this personality, she has missed out on a number of victories until today that she should have been able to obtain.
　She was about to make the same kind of decision as I did, that she couldn't continue like this.

'Alright, I'm going to get serious next time!　I'm also going to show you the special moves for the tournament that I've been holding off on!　I think this will probably hold off at least one of the 'witchcraft' guys ...... or at least one effective hit!　Maybe!

　It's probably a suggestion that I can use myself somewhere in the upcoming raid on Hoozeyards Castle. That's where he's going to use his "inner workings" as an example.

　However, he doesn't promise that he will definitely win. Seeing that Lagne-like, but slightly different from the usual Lagne, I smile and walk away.

''Ah, I don't have time to make excuses anymore ......!
'Oui!　Come on, let's all go for it!

　We both walk into the house where Rustyala and the others are waiting.

　We are going to help Nosfi right now. I'm going to ask everyone in the house, not just Ragne, to help me do that.

　I mercifully report that I want to fix the situation that has been exacerbated by my continued avoidance of Nosphy, albeit belatedly. On top of that, I'm going to ask for your help, even if it's just through thick and thin, because I'm not sure I'm comfortable fighting on my own. No matter how badly dressed I am, I'll continue to apologize and ask for help.
　I'm done pretending to be a good girl for fear that Rustyala and the others will hate me.

　Me and Ragne walk down the hallway and head straight straight for the living room where my friends are.
　The expression on my face is the complete opposite of what it was when I left the house before I did my "past vision".



　◆◆◆◆◆ ...



　Just then, in the living room, all the people who had finished treating Rastiara were taking a break.
　Rustyala was sitting on the largest sofa in the center of the room, with his friends in attendance to give him a massage.

　The fact that I, who was supposed to be on guard, had come back makes everyone look a little strange.

　To be honest, it's hard to see each other because of one of the battles we just had. But I can't use that as an excuse to put it off. I immediately tell everyone the main issue.

I'm sorry for the suddenness of it all. Now I'm going to go and help Nosphy.

　The strange faces lined up are replaced by surprised faces.
　In the midst of it all, Maria speaks up on behalf of everyone with a question.

'Well, to help?　Not to beat him?

　I respond to that confirmation immediately.

'Yes, I want to help. Rustyala was right, Nosfi was my friend ....... Now, it finally dawned on me. I'm not going to be the one who drove Nosufi to that point, and she wasn't at all to blame. I was the one who drove her to that point. ...... I'm sorry for being selfish all the time and I'm sorry for being selfish again....... I want to help Nosfi with my own hands.

　He apologized and suggested his own selfish request.
　Maria accepted it with a divine look on her face. Before that response is given, Rainer interrupts her from the corner of the room.

'Christ ....... Could it be that you saw Nosfi's past through the magic of 'past vision'?
I saw it. So I can't see Nosfi as an enemy anymore.
Okay. Okay.

　Ryner didn't say anything.
　Maybe he knew this was going to happen with Ragne. Once I see the past, I try to protect Nosfy. It seems to be a sudden change of heart, but he seems to have no problem with it as long as it's the result of 'past vision'.

　I begin to persuade them to do what I want.
　The first one is Rastiara, who was ravaged in the last battle.

I'm sorry for being a grouch last night, ....... From now on, I'll look after Nosphy properly. I believe in you all. I'm not going to let Rustyala do anything I can't do," he said.

　I knew that Rastiara and his friends would make Nosfi happy. I thought it would be best for me to stay out of Nosfi's life. But I was wrong. I will tell you that it was a fatally wrong decision.

　At the same time, he vowed to trust the bond he had with his friends. In the previous battle, Rustyala had put his body on the line to prove the bond with his friends that I had assured him was impossible. I can't just deny it without a head start anymore.

Kanami......?

　Watching me accept what I was denying last night, Rustyala only mentions the name and gives a question mark.

　To be honest, there's still a voice in the corner of my mind that says 'we're all in this together' will never work. But those things and more, I want to change my dislike of it.

'Guys, ....... I'm going to stop thinking so hard. I'm going to stop making excuses before I even try. Nosfies are--

　I continue to speak.

　It doesn't matter if they're friend or foe anymore. There are more important things than a guardian or the one who steals your reason. What's important is not the Jewelcrus or the Banner of Light from a thousand years ago. What's important is--

'Nosfi is 'my daughter' born in my blood. So I can't leave her alone. I'm coming for her right now.

　That's the only reason he declares he's headed there.
　Rustyala was the first to speak out before anyone else at that wild but clear talk. Again, it was only a name, but there was an emotion of delight in it.

'...... Kanami!

　Maria then calmly spun the words.

'Hah ....... Well, it can't be helped ....... I don't dislike Nosfi-san that much either, and let's go in the direction of persuasion instead of annihilation ......

　Even though I showed my decision to confront Nosfi, and even said 'daughter' based on past information, Maria's reaction was far kinder than I had expected.
　The same is true for the reactions of Dea, Snow, and Reaper.

''I guess. We played together, and he wasn't such a bad guy.''
Nosfies are strong in so many ways, and it would be great to have them as friends.
I'm always looking for friends!

　There was no longer a look of surprise on his face, but rather a look of surprise that he had finally made it here.

'Huh, that ......?　You know, the story that Nosfi is my 'daughter' is at ......

　This information alone should have been enough to get everyone's attention.
　I knew there was a chance that I would be disillusioned and disliked from it. I had prepared quite a few apologies in my head for this, but the time to use them never came.

'I've known for a while. I asked him for his identity in detail without Kanami-san, so I feel like I found out about it while I was talking about ...... my wife.
Yeah. I hear that. He's like a kid from Kanami, right?
'Um, and Kanami won't recognize that, so you'll always be a rebel?'
I always thought my brother was a thing!

　I seemed to be the only one who was upset by the information about 'daughter'.
　It seems that while I was avoiding Nosfi, people were usually hearing it directly from the person in question.

'Everyone knew about it ....... Then give me a quick ....... No, I guess I just didn't ask.

　Looking back, my attitude towards Nosfi was terrible.
　Furthermore, I myself was giving off an air of not wanting to hear anything about it. It's no wonder no one brought it up. It's possible that Ryner and Rustyala, who had been concerned about my recent instability, had kept everyone in the dark. Simply put, I had been making everyone feel uncomfortable all along.

　I regret that - but I continue to talk about it without dragging it out.
　I drop all apologies and return the words in their place.

'Thank you, ...... guys. If you knew, it's nice to talk to you so quickly. That's why I think I should go apologize to Nosfi right away. So tonight, I'd like to storm the Hooziyaz Castle. I'm sure I'll be a wanted man in this great holy city by now, so I'm going to break in roughly like a bandit.

　Then he proposes a night raid as casually as if he were going to apologize to his neighbor's house.
　Hearing that rough plan, Rustyala is surprised.

'Oh, oh ......!　Kanami's story doesn't go around and it's fast and concise!　Kanami is supposed to be a lot more complicated than that: ....... What's really going on?　I thought Kanami was going to walk up to Nosfy much later in the first place, but it seems incredibly sudden: ......
'What, so urgent ......?　I think I was thinking about it pretty slowly: ......
It's a bit of a rush. We were just talking about being more careful from now on about how to get between Nosfi and Kanami: ......

　I was a little shocked that they were talking about that, and I thought about my change.

　From everyone's point of view, my change seems to be sudden.
　However, from my point of view, I think I've been bothering my head the whole time I've been in the Great Holy City. I feel like I've caused quite a bit of trouble, especially to Ragne, by showing him the wince many times.

'Lately, Lagune has been telling me all sorts of things that are wrong with me. Like the way Rustyala and the others were talking to Nosfi while I was gone, while everyone else was gone. Maybe that helped?
'What, Lagnechan is ......?'

　Rastiara gives me a surprising look.
　To be honest, I'm surprised as well, since I thought Ragne was listening to me under Rustiala's direction.
　Ragne, who's been named, greets me like a gymnast next to me.

Push!　I've told your brother a lot of things.　I couldn't watch!
...... Feel like maybe you said the hardest thing to say?
I'm not like you guys. Unlike you guys, even if Kanami-san hates me, I'm not so badly hurt. I could say many harsh things.

　Although she was told implicitly that she didn't like it too much, her carefree attitude convinced Rustyala and the others.

'Huh, I see. No, I didn't expect the risk-averse Lagne-chan, who hates risk, to work hard while our hands are occupied: ....... Nice, Lagne-chan!　I mean, this party seems to be more of a team effort than I thought it would be!
Haha, it's nice to be praised. But actually, the wound on my cheek doesn't heal easily, so I was just rushing it to save my own skin.
It's still great. It's not easy to do. No, really.

　Rustyala walks up next to Ragne and praises him handsomely.
　It was the same for everyone in the room, one after the other, praising Ragne's feats.

''Yes. That's really great, Ragne. To make that negative, self-deprecating Kanami-san look positive is an extraordinary feat.''
'You're right, Kanami can be sneaky. Sometimes it's quite troublesome because modesty is often a vicious cycle.
And he's pretty stubborn. He's all talk and no action. I couldn't possibly move that Kanami.
"Above all, big brother has the biggest flaw of all: he can't see his surroundings when it comes to his sister. Lately, you've been falling into a similar pattern with your big sister Rustyala, so I admire you for breaking through that!

　In addition to that praise - or as if this one is the main one - my vices are listed.
　I know they are true, and I know that I'll just have to fix them in the future, but when there are so many vices lined up, what resonates in my mind resonates.

　But honestly, I'm more relieved than shocked or sad.
　I was trying to be a good person in front of everyone, but in reality, they knew exactly what was wrong with me.

　I had to be the ideal me at all times. But the truth is - I didn't want to hate myself, so I was desperate.

　I'm sure you're all aware of my vices and are my friends.
　That's a real relief .......

　Thus, once the rituals like a unity of purpose using the exposure of my vices are done, Rustyala begins to prepare for the meeting.

''--Okay. Now that the party is united, let's have a strategy meeting for the attack on Foozeyards Castle. Even I, as expected, don't want to have no plan, you know. Well then, we need more chairs, so gather them up.

　We drove the central couch we were sitting on to the edge and placed a large desk in the center of the room and arranged everyone's chairs for the number of people around it.
　It was much smaller than yesterday's mansion. Once that simple conference room was completed, they sat down one by one.

Then, I'll sit next to Kanami-san.

　Maria sat next to me before anyone else, as if she was aiming for where I sat. Then she casually pulls her chair closer. As if to counter that, Dia takes a seat next to the opposite seat.

...... Then this is me.
'So, I'm late to the party ......!　Ugh, then I think I'll put it next to Dear this time. ...... eh, heh. Dia, can I hold your hand?

　Snow sits down and indulges her best friend, who has recently become a good friend.
　Dea reluctantly agrees, saying, "I can't help it," but I know that Dea herself is quite the friend-dependent person.

　And Rustyala, who watches their smiling appearance with tenderness, takes the next seat.

'Well, I'll be next to Maria, then. Of course, we'll stick our chairs together!
Yeah, go ahead.

　We're pretty close here too. The relationship from the time we met is now being built up, not unilaterally, but because we both want it to be.
　Then, the lost Reaper speaks up, a little flustered.

''Eh?　Hmm, I'll be right here.　No, it doesn't matter where it is, though.

　In that strange vein, the Reaper sat down next to Snow, squeezing his seat together.

　...... peace.
　They are really close enough to forget that they were killing each other just a few moments ago. Lagune saw the switch in the members of the group and sat down normally next to Rustyala with a bitter smile, and finally, Ryner, with Yotaki in tow, sat in the two extra seats.

　Ryner checks his surroundings and speaks with the same reassuring look on his face as I do.

''I'm really surprised ....... Before you know it, you're getting along pretty well. All over here and there. I guess the whole ...... thing is just a groundless fear of mine. Well, if you've been working together for a long time, you'll naturally become close. We all make the same mistakes, have the same interests, and have the same dreams .......

　Ryner says that it is natural that the length of our relationship is proportional to how close we are to each other. Me and Ragne react to that theory at the same time - with our faces turned away and sweat dripping from our faces.

''Eh, ah, yeah. That's right: ......''
Yeah, I guess so.

　To be frank, we both have completely opposite views. If you party with a large group of people for a long time, cracks will inevitably appear, and we believe that there is no such thing as a mixed-gender bond.
　Because of that mindset, me and Ragne were somewhat suspicious of our friends. I didn't trust the bond between the four of us - Rustyala, Dia, Maria and Snow.

　The fact that Lagune and I, with such a personality, nodded without denying it now, is a sign of our determination to live positively from now on. We've just decided that from now on we will both live positively.

　Ryner's amazement deepens as he compares the exact same look on my face and Lagune's.

'Lagne-san really fits in with Christ, doesn't he? He's done a lot of convincing, too. ...... Honestly, that's the biggest surprise of the day.

　And Ryner looks relieved from the bottom of his heart and lets his back rest on the chair.
　The tension he had been holding on to for a long time seems to have been released now. When I think about it, Ryner was alerted to many things instead of my narrow vision. While thanking him for that, I start the strategy meeting.

...... Okay, I see everyone has taken their seats. Well then, let's get the other side's forces sorted out before we make a plan.

　There are knights around Nosfi who have earned the immunity of 'honesty' and do whatever they want.
　Perhaps, as long as those knights are around, Nosfi will try to continue the fight. The names of those knights will be linked together.

''First of all, 'The One Who Steals the Reason of Blood', Fafner Helvilshain. This one is the most troublesome. In addition, there are also five people who are 'turning back into a demon', Elmirad, Glenn-san, Sera-san, Persiona-san, and Noir-chan. Maybe, but I think these six are not sleeping and waiting for me to come to them. ...... to fight.

　Elmirado and Noir-chan are especially important to pay attention to.
　With these two, they definitely can't have a proper conversation with Nosfi first.

　After hearing the names of those six people, Rustyala and Maria gave one of them a name to discuss.

''Oh yeah, come to think of it, Sera-chan was taken by the other side. When they attacked the mansion, I was surprised.
'You fought back and forth, apologizing a lot. If you don't let Sera go soon, it's going to reverberate later.
'Maybe Sera-chan was hit by 'fascination' unlike the others. Nosefy is obviously a favorite of Sera's.
'That's it. The trouble is that each of us has a different cause for being manipulated. Maybe, but Mr. Glenn isn't affected by Mr. Nosfi's magic. There's no doubt about that face.

　Maria seemed sure about Mr. Glenn. Maybe it was because I was traveling with him before he joined me.

'Christ, I like the policy of attacking with everyone here. But what about your sister?

　As Rustyala and Maria discuss it, Ryner gives them a new consultation.

'I'll take Yotaki with me. Dia, you and Yotaki will work hand in hand. I'm sure your movement will be limited, but Dia is still the best person to handle Youtaki. If you want to move fast, have Ryner or Snow carry you around.
Okay. I'd be more at ease with a flypaper, too.

　Dia accepted my request without hesitation. But Ryner ate up and piled on the questions.

'...... your sister in a fight?　Isn't it dangerous?
I think it's dangerous, but that doesn't mean I'm going to leave you. But that doesn't mean I'm going to leave you behind. That has always been a recipe for failure. From now on, we'll all go where it counts.

　I'm frozen and won't move, so they'll poke me where they can't see me.
　In the first place, Nosfi just honestly declared today that he would attack my surroundings. My sister, who can't move, would be the easiest place to aim. In that case, I dare to take her out and close the distance as much as possible.

''And Yotaki uses freezing magic on its own if it feels that it is in danger. Dia, isn't that right?
Yeah, that's what the Sith guy does.
'That's part of the calculation. Yangtaki is 'the one that steals the reason for water'. Even an automatic counterattack alone can overwhelm a 'demonized' knight.

　Rather, it was a result of the decision to become a force to be reckoned with.
　Ryner nodded in agreement with that explanation, and a hand came up from Maria next.

''Ah, Kanami-san. Let me take care of Fafner-san.''
'Maria is Fafner's partner or ....... Sure, that might be the best thing to do, but ......
'I'm the best at fighting those kinds of moves. Now, if I have someone else to assist me, I'll be able to bring it to a competitive situation. If possible, I'd like to team up with a reaper.

　The strongest person in the camp on the other side is Fafner, and this camp is Maria. It's inevitable that these two will clash with each other.
　The Reaper seems to agree with that, and expresses his intentions by transferring his body to Maria's shadow.

'Right. It's best if we do it ourselves with Mr. Fafner.''

　Snow, who has been quiet for a long time, enters the conversation as the policy of the raid is gradually being finalized. He looks very serious and earnest, probably thanks to the fact that he's learned to be a commander over the past year.

'Fafner is Maria and Reaper, ....... Dia and her sister will be dealing with the knights ....... Kanami is a straight line to Nosfi's place. The remaining enemies are a few knights who are 'demonized' and the guards?　...... I'm good enough on my own for that much, okay?　That's quite a bit of extra strength.
"No, I mean, it's a straight line, but I was going to fight some people on my way there too. ......

　Anyway, there's no doubt that the forces are more excessive here.

　Let's say, for example, that there are two people, Dia and Yotaki, who have broken into the castle and continue walking gracefully. Even if everyone, including Fafner, attacked them, I don't feel like I could stop them. Dia's overwhelming firepower and Yotaki's precise ice-cold magic for automatic interception. It's an advance so robust that I feel sorry for the knights I'm dealing with.

　That's where Rustyala proposes to accompany me.

It's a good idea to have a good time. If you can afford it, I'd like to have a 'discussion' with Nosfy ....... Of course, I know that's Kanami's role. Still, I feel like I should be there .......
Mr. Nosfi is spoiled by Mr. Rastiara, so it's not that bad.

　And my neighbor Maria agrees. I thought she would be dissatisfied as she would be the only one running off, but that wasn't the case.

''I'm sure Nosfi-san is looking at Lastiara-san, who was destined to be a 'make-believe' and only a 'replacement', in a superlative light with herself. If he comes face to face with Mr. Rastiara, there should be an opening on the other side.

　Having seen Nosfi's past earlier, I can agree with that idea.
　Rastiara was created to be Tiara's vessel. That's almost the same situation as Nosphy, who was created to be Tiara's 'replacement'.

　Rastiara himself strongly admits that they are building on each other.

'Yes. ....... So. Nosfi-chan was really kind ...... to me. I could have been resented, but she was deeply concerned ...... about me. I think of Nosfi-chan ...... as a big sister, selfishly, but I think of her as a big sister. I really think we are both part of the same birth family.

　Once, in the cathedral, Rustyala treated the 'Magic Stone Humans' (Jewelculus) like family and stood at the top of them. There must be a trend from that time. She saw Nosfi, the Jewelcruise, who was created before her, as an older sister.

　If you insist that Nosfi has a family member named me, then Rustyala's existence might be essential.

'...... All right. Lastiara, you can follow behind me.
Thanks, Kanami. I'll cover you in more ways than one.
'Then, if Rastiara goes to Nosfi's too ....... Let's have Ragne and Ryner fill in the rest. The rest--

　With Maria taking on Fafner, who is the biggest challenge, the process of convincing Nosfi to go through with it is easily solidified.
　And at the end of it, I make a proposal.

I've decided on a general policy. I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about the details while using my magic. It's the 'futuristic vision' of old.
'　That's the Dimension Graduate 'Realize' that we used in our tee time.

　Ryner, who is often static, shouted with rare excitement.
　The other faces also show an expectant expression as the magic they had heard about will be activated. Among them, Ragne, who had just seen a similar magic earlier, takes confirmation.

''That's your brother's other foul technique, isn't it?
Yeah, I'll feel free to use it. There's no more useful magic in a strategy meeting than this.
Then I'll be watching over you while you use your magic again. Don't hesitate to concentrate on your magic since everyone else is here.

　There seemed to be no opposition, so I immediately got up from my seat and propped my hands on the desk to knead my magic power.

　Fortunately, my magic power is still filling the entire country.
　The remaining magic power, which could be called the remnants of the "Prequel (Recall)" from the "Dimension Graduation Operation" is still surrounding the Great Holy City.

　Until just a moment ago, dimensional magic was banned in the Huskyards Country, but now it has changed into the easiest field in the world to use dimensional magic.
　The magic power of the 'Steal the Reason of Light' that was floating around was all eroded by the magic power of the 'Steal the Reason of Dimension'.

　With this, the magic construction proceeded smoothly.
　The response of that magic is strong. It's natural since it's the great magic in the great magic, but I'm even confident that it's a must-win if activated.
　It's bad for Elmirad, who wants a fair duel, and Rustiala, who likes to fight close, but--

''I just don't think this will make the battle for the castle any less exciting.'' --Dimensional Decisive Operations (Dimension Graduate) 'Realize'

　It is now confirmed that the attack battle will end in a one-sided development.

　And just like the Dimension Graduate "Prequel (Recall)," the magic power is consumed and memories are mixed into your mind.

　It's the same as "Past Vision", but what you get is the complete opposite. It's not something that happened in the past, but a memory of what will happen in the future.

　Along with the sensation that your eyes are brightening, your vision falls into a sea of light.
　All the futures of this Great Sacred City Fuzzy Yards appear to overlap in more than ten ways in all directions.
　Among them, the 'place' I will choose is Foozeyers Castle in the distance. I also focus on the 'time' in about an hour's time.
　This will focus on the scene of our attack.

　We can see Maria's flames melting the entrance to Fouzeyards Castle by herself - and Glenn, the entrance guard, intercepting her. In the meantime, a shadow breaks in through the second floor window - Rustyala heads upstairs, dispatching the dozens of knights who were waiting for him. Following that, Dia and Yotaki, held by the 'dragonized' Snow, took up position in the central hollow - fighting in the air with Noir, who was 'demonized' - and many other scenes.

　Of course, at the same time, we see other sights as well.
　There is the sight of Maria engulfing the castle itself in flames in the garden outside, and there is the sight of Rustyala and Dia working together to override the castle's wards.

　I can see the various futures that have branched off.
　I knew this when I used it before, but you can't see the future that's been determined by "future vision". The exact nature of this magic is that it allows you to know various possibilities ahead of time.

　Choose the best one among those possibilities and know how to get to that best future. That is the power of the 《Dimensional Decisive Operation (Dimension Graduation) 'Realize'.

　Although Nosfi talked about this as if it was an invincible power, from my point of view as a user, it has many flaws. First of all, because of my low information processing ability, I can't pick up the future except for the people I decided to see. This time, I'm focusing on the space I decided to look at - the enemy camp at Hoozeyards Castle, so there are many gaps in the future, except for that space.

　If I had the cleverness of my sister Yangtaki - a quick mindedness like mine - it would be easier, I think, as I follow the many branches of possibility of Hoosier's Castle that are divided into many layers.

　I check the route of every surprise raid with my 'future vision' and examine the probability of success and the goodness of the situation after a successful raid.

　The same checks will be carried out on the timing of the raid. What is important here is the movement of the knights who patrol the area and the time of rest. The position of the five 'witch-ized' knights is especially important.

　The tactics are also examined. The members here cover most of the attribute magic, so we can try both water attack and fire blame. You can choose to blend in with the darkness or the light.

　The weather at the time of the attack. Temperature and humidity. Wind direction and wind speed. Collect information from outside the castle.
　We will know the number of knights in the castle. Know the patrol routes. The location of hiding places. And the whereabouts of the non-combatants. And I get a detailed picture of each person's physical condition, down to the amount of perspiration they're perspiring. While looking at all the possibilities in this way...

　There was one scene from the future that I couldn't miss.

　The place is outdoors.
　The top floor of Hoozeyer's Castle.
　The time and date is morning. The two people basking in the twinkling morning light are me and Yotaki (・・・・・・・).

　The important thing here is that the two of us are facing each other and talking about something.

　Yotaki was awake.
　However, I can't figure out what he's talking about.
　Is it because of the too unlikely future that my magic can't reach it at the very last minute?

　But even if the future is at the end of a thin branch, it seems that there is still a possibility that Yotaki will wake up this early. It's definitely good news that the procedure of getting Fafner on my side, releasing the World Tree Apostle Diprakra, and developing the awakening magic may only take this one night.
　If all goes well, at the end of this raid I will be able to meet the awakened Yotaki.

　My heart beats faster.
　At the same time, I felt a sense of strength in my magic "Dimension Graduate "Realize"" - a thud. I don't know what the reason is, but the effect of the magic became stronger.
　Now my dimensional magic has evolved.

　Thanks to that unexpected enhancement, I gain a view of the 'future' while also gaining a view of the 'present' now.
　I've been focusing on the magic, so I can look up and see my surroundings.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find a lot more information on this. They are in a strategy meeting with a table and chairs together.
　Yotaki is also sitting at one of those tables. In spite of the unique situation of sleepwalking, my sister is by my side right now.
　Come to think of it, I hadn't heard a single word of my sister's opinion at the meeting. Thinking that, I call out to Yotaki in the 'present' while maintaining my 'future vision'.

''--Yotaki (...)

　I don't know if my voice is heard or not.
　But I felt as if my sister, who was being called out to me, looked up from her prone position, just as I was, and stared back at me.

　Of course, she doesn't respond to me.
　Still, I continue to call out to her.

"Yotaki, this is the me now ....... I've met many people in this other world, fought many people, parted with many people and came here ......

　I'm not sure if the current state of "future vision" and "present" can reach my voice.
　I'm not sure if I would have been able to do it in the past, but if it was me now, then I would have said something I couldn't say before to my sister.

'When this battle is over, I have a lot to ask you ....... I could really do a lot of things .......

　I stare straight at my sister.
　Those eyes seem to be closed, and I know they are thin and open. I face the eyes underneath those eyelids and say, letting go of all the complexes I've had inside of me.

'When you wake up, we'll talk slowly ....... When you do, I want you to promise me that you won't hide anything else from me. I promise I won't hide anything either .......

　It's time to stop relying on my sister.
　Now is the time to accept myself, which I don't want to admit, and go back to my original intentions - to face my sister (・・・・・・・・・), who created my life.

　When I made up my mind to do so, I felt my sister's eyelashes twitch as she faced me.

''I think today is the last time we will be fighting in this other world, so ....... When it's over, let's get some rest. I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to get to know each other better. There's no way this won't cure that disease thing: ....... Let's call it a day tomorrow.

　Let's end this.
　When I said that, I felt my sister move again.
　And she seemed to nod her head slowly.
　I could feel her approval of my proposal.
　In response, I thank her.

Thank you for .......

　With my mouth and 'future vision', I dream of the scene of my reunion with my sister.
　The top floor of Hoozeyer's Castle.
　Everyone is there in the morning sunshine.
　Nosfi is there, and Rustyala is there, too. Dia, Maria, Snow, Reaper, Ryner, Ragne, Fafner, Sera, Glenn, Elmirado, and Noir-chan are there too.
　Together, we'll celebrate the resurrection of Yotaki, the end of my story.
　I see such a dream (Mirai).

What?　This is ....... Could it be that Kanami has returned to consciousness?

　While I'm facing my sister, a nearby Rustyala speaks to me fearfully.
　To which I laugh and lightly reply.

'...... Right. I think I'm getting a little used to this magic. I can talk to you while using it.
Do you get used to it?　I'm used to it, yeah?　Does that mean we can look to the future and fight ......?
I see.
'Yeah, yeah ....... That's too strong. ......

　The fact that magic becomes more useful as it is used up is a phenomenon that has happened several times, such as in Die Winter in the Dimension.

　I'm convinced that my real magic can still evolve.
　No, rather than evolution, it's a feeling of finally reaching perfection.

　It's not much longer.
　It's as if I'm getting ready for this final battle, just a little bit more.
　My ideal. My ideal magic. The magic that everyone wants...

'Um, Kanami. While Kanami was stunned by her magic, we were all talking about an interesting plan of action here. I need to ask you something: ......
Everyone?　Okay. Let's have a 'future vision' to see if that works or not.

　With the Dimension Graduate "Realize", we can diagnose the success or failure of our strategy from afar, without having to try out our strategy. While repeating this, our assault plan will only leave the process impossible for the opponent to deal with.

'Yeah, yeah, the answer is ....... That's too bad, too: .......
'No, but there's no other way to say it: ......

　A fight that would normally be indeterminate until it begins will be confirmed in advance.
　Foul play would also be foul play. But since we can't afford to fail in our mission, I have no intention of going easy on the other side's camp.

　In this way, I sharpened my "future vision" and worked with my friends to determine the specific details of our strategy.
　It was just like the process of matching the answers to a collection of questions. Naturally, only the answers marked with a circle remained in the answer column. This is the plan of the assault with all the correct answers.


　--That foul strategy meeting went on until the date changed.


　And as the meeting ended.

Okay, let's get to work.

　He called out to them, and they responded.

Let's go!
Yes ......!
I'll take Yotaki and Snow.
I want you both caught.
Nice to meet you, young lady.
Hey, Rainer, say hi to your brother.
Yes, please.

　All at once, they started to move out of the underground city.

　Originally, the timing of the raid was intended to be late at night, when there were few people awake, but since the meeting was over at just the right time, they began to act immediately. If all goes well, the operation will be completed before morning arrives.

　--Separating into groups, we left the underground city and walked to our respective positions.

　It's already midnight in the city.
　There is not a single dark cloud in the sky, and the white round moon is floating around, illuminating the city.
　Even in the middle of the night, the Great Sacred City on earth is a bit hectic. The townspeople who had become suspicious when I had shut down the "Magical Stone Line" were in an uproar, and the guards were wandering around to investigate.

　I feel a little guilty as the culprit for stopping the Magical Stone Line. However, he will now further confuse the Great Holy City. I quickly shake off my useless emotions and proceed slowly through the city so that I don't get suspicious.

　The city streets are bright as I walk.
　Even though it's nighttime, it's brighter than the daytime of the past Hoosiers I saw earlier. The Hoosiers Country has really brightened up in the last thousand years. Thanks to the Stealer of Light, the city and its heart are lit up.

　But the world and the heart of Nosfy, the one who could have done it, are still dark.
　I reiterate my vow in my heart that I will definitely help Nosfi, even if it means blurring the light of the Hoosier State.

　--and reach out to Nosphy with her hand above all else.

　That's the ultimate goal of the current operation - perhaps, but it's also the way to fulfill her "unfinished business".
　However, now that I have a 'future vision', I know how difficult it is.

'The One and Only' or ......

　I muttered a few words along the way.
　The words I just uttered would be the most disturbing to me in putting Nosfi above all else.
　As I discard those words, I increase the speed at which I walk.
　As fast as I can shake them off, I take that self-chosen path.
