Here, my skill "reading" has been sublimated and is about to become something else.
　No, it's trying to return to its original form, that would be correct. Tiara-sama's 'Prophecy' arrives like a letter from the 'Magic Stone Line (Line)' at my feet.

"What is the magic of the stars--
　It was just a forced application to the frame of 'attribute' that the master thought of, but it originally had a completely different meaning and role.
　At first, the Apostle referred to the [Star's Reason] as the 'circulating ability' to save the 'world'.
　Hence, it was never referring to the magic power characterized by weighing down and pulling.
　--only, as a result, to weigh down and pull.
　Just like the Youtaki sister who came to the other world for the first time, if the magic power becomes too dense, it has the tendency to become heavy by itself and try to attract the things around it.
　I want you to pay attention to that and control your magic 《Revan》. The basics are not so different from Fania's Fire God's spell 《Altofel》. But the scale is completely different.
　If you fail, you will be swallowed by the weight, 'reversed', pulled, and it will all be over. The important thing is to control the nature.
　It's very difficult, but you're not the one practicing that feeling, so don't worry--

　Gradually, I felt that 'I' and the 'Lady Tiara' of a thousand years ago overlapped.
　That's why I could see (read) deeply.
　A thousand years ago, the pages that old "Lord Tiara" wrote on the ground with his own blood

"From now on, you will inherit me in a thousand years' time, having mastered the control of the nature of the stars, with 'blood power'.
　However, that 'star power' is the power to pick up the 'everything' that I have discarded, not the power to keep yourself alive. The skill you're reading this now also has a different real role--

　It was a strange sensation.
　Apart from the scene I'm seeing now, another scene is going on in my head.

　It's almost the same mechanism as the future prediction Kanami had told me about, and the amount of information is probably too much for humans to process.

　However, I don't hesitate to roll up.
　In the pages that Tiara-sama had prepared a thousand years ago, I found the exact same thing as the current situation. Even though the future would be branching out in countless ways, Tiara-sama had read the current situation perfectly beforehand and stored it in the magical stone line.
　It reads.

"--And finally, on the first floor of Fuzzyards Castle, the final battle begins.

　The first to move was 'The One Who Steals the Reason of Water' Aikawa Yotaki.
　His small lips trembled slightly, and he lifted his thin arm slightly and pointed.

''First, you--''

　The one standing ahead of her was 'Flame Witch' Maria.
　Right now, Aikawa Yotaki understood with his skills that if there was one person here who was least able to grasp the situation, it was her. It was also true that if she was the most troublesome, if she could be made to leave, it would be only at this first time.

''-- 《Ice Arrow》''
The Flame Arrow.

　In response, a magic is instantly released from Maria.
　Two basic magic are approaching like a mirror.

　It's the Ice Arrow by the "Gentile" who calls himself "the one who steals the reason for water".
　I'm not going to be able to get my hands on any of them.

　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
　However, the reasoning of the world is deranged and biased due to the mixture of imposters.

　Aikawa Yotaki's 《Ice Arrow》 swallowed Maria's 《Flame Arrow》--

　My vision of reality proceeds just as it did a thousand years earlier.
　As a result, the ground floor of Hoozeyer's Castle has been transformed by an outpouring of two kinds of magic.

　A white frost sticks to the bloodstained floor and walls.
　The pile of rubble is frozen over, and there are many ice cubes floating in the air.
　Just once, in the aftermath of the collision of ice and fire foundation magic, it was completely repainted into a realm (field) of freezing attributes.

''Hah, hah, hah ......!

　On top of that, Maria prods her knees with wild breathing.
　Her chest moves up and down, but the tip of her black hair doesn't sway.
　Every inch of her body was frozen, deprived of body heat, and her eyelids were on the verge of closing now.

　Maria, who had once burned the center of the 'mainland' to the ground, had lost a simple firepower.
　In other words, the firefly in front of me is simply more than that. This means that the Hitaki-chan in front of me has the magical power to freeze not only the "mainland" but also the rest of the world beyond the sea.

　That Hitaki-chan takes a step forward and spins a new basic magic.

''First. --《Freeze》

　Not fast by any means.
　But in the next moment, I felt a hand wrap around Maria-chan.

　Maria-chan seemed to feel that chill, too, and immediately erupted with magic power to resist - not to do so, but to create flames as if to expel the fellow inside her body.

'...... Reaper!　Please run!

　Rather than being unable to win, Hitaki-chan had a sense of intimidation that made her think that [No one can beat Aikawa Yotaki].
　Maria prioritized the safety of her companions and drove the Reaper out of her own shadow.

''Oh, sis!　Shit--!

　Somehow, the Reaper tried to help her host, Maria. However, the moment his eyes met hers, he bit his lip and fled into the shadows of the surrounding rubble. With the communication that only two people with a good tactical eye can have, they seemed to have made a rational decision to disperse the risk by communicating with each other.

　However, not all of them were able to make that calm decision, and Dia, who was close by, shouted in anger.

''Mariaaaa--!

　I used my signature unchanted "Zion" to push away Hitaki's "Freeze" while I ran to it. And then, Maria-chan's body, which was about to fall from her back, was forcefully held by her left arm. Calling her name very roughly, he shook her body.

"Maria, Maria Maria Maria--!　What have you done to Maria!

　But Maria doesn't move anymore.
　Even from a distance, she has lost her body heat, her breathing has become thin, and she's as quiet as an animal hibernating.

　Dia glares at the enemy who carried out the attack, and Hitaki replies with a hand on her chest.

'I swear. I will never, ever hurt you all.
'No hurting!　You're freezing and shivering right now, Maria!

　With her irreplaceable best friend in danger, Dia lost her cool. And just like when she lost Kanami, her hand went out before she could think.

　From the tip of her lost right arm's elbow, an arm with a condensed glowing magic power extended.
　The telescoping arm of light was swift and sharp, and was about to catch Hitaki-chan any moment now, but before he could do so, the 'Blood Stealer' Fafner interrupted him.

　Likewise, he controlled the special blood-clothed arm, and like a knight protecting his lord, he took Dia's light arm head-on.

'You stay out of my way!　You beat me once!
'No denying it. It's ......, so if you beat me again, don't leave me in the dust next time.
You don't have to tell me that, I'm going to!

　Dia will put more power into the arm of light.
　Fafner will respond to that by putting an equal amount of power into it.
　It's a huge clash of magical powers.

　On the other hand, the two dragon men (Dragon Newt) were also clashing with each other. Since Tiara-sama had already prepared that page over there as well, it was easy to grasp the battle situation.

"--In the danger of his companions Maria and Dia, Snow, who had seen the entire ground floor, was trying to move before anyone else.

　However, in the exact same way, Seldora, the 'one who steals the reason for nothingness' who was taking a step back and looking over the whole thing, stood in front of that Snow first step.

　On the upper floor, Snow was caught off guard, but there was no more hesitation.
　He wasted no time and moved as fast as he could to help his team win.
　He smashed the sphere that compressed the "Dragon Wind" and tried to tear the body of the enemy without mercy.

''-- 《Dragoon Arder》!
It's been a long time. --Dragoon Ardor.

　However, the person facing him was Seldra Queenfillion, the thousand-year-old 'Northern League' general of the 'Northern League', who was clearly known to be upwardly compatible despite being of the same species.
　He seemed accustomed to creating spheres of exactly the same intensity and dexterously offsetting them.
　Furthermore, he assessed Snow as if he were a parent.

'Descendants, a powerful force. An easy to understand 'strongest'.
Get out of my way!
But compared to us, who are only powerful, the earlier Glenn would be much more meaningful to the 'world'. ...... too good to waste on your brother.
'I know that ......, you don't have to tell me that!　--Impulse Break!
Okay, good, good. -- impulse break.

　In contrast to Seldora, who speaks at leisure, Snow replied in short words while charging straight ahead with the great sword in her hand, clad in magic power.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work.

　It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get your hands on it.
　However, this time, unlike the previous one, it's not the same to the strength to offset it.
　An overwhelming difference in the amount of magic power could be seen.

　However, Snow, who ran out with all his might, couldn't stop in the middle, and the two 《Impulse Breaks》 made vigorous contact, and the conclusion according to the amount of magic power came.

''Kook, ugh--!

　It was sword and arm, but it was one-sided.
　"An unattributed impact characterized by vibration struck Snow, and with a grunt, his body was blown backwards and with great force. It slammed into the sturdy walls of Hoosier's Castle and knocked him out (・・・・・・・)--

　After reading ahead to that point, I use a little bit of the magic power that I had accumulated in my body during the clash of the two 《Impulse》.

''--Stellar magic 《Gravity》.

　I felt softly light.
　I felt like I could fly anywhere, free from the force of the ground's pull on me. Leaving that lightness to me, I kicked the floor and made my way ahead to the wall where Snow was slammed into.

''Kook (...), ugh (...)--!

　And then the page changes a bit as he catches Snow blown up as he reads.

"--No, I'm not going to pass out.
　In the nick of time, Rustyala Fuzzyards will get there in time --

　That one sentence was allowed.
　Rather, that branch - a new page, I guess, was prepared by Tiara-sama.

　It is proven here that as long as you don't change the last page, you can change the middle as much as you want.
　In fact, I wondered if she was recommending that I change the middle of the book. In the middle of that confirmation, Snow quickly gained ground and moved away from me.

'Thank you, Rastiara, ......'

　Blood was spilling out of his mouth.

　No wonder.
　Most of the factors that cause you to faint are the internal damage caused by the unattributed impact. No matter how much I held him back, Snow's damage hasn't changed much.
　However, Snow shows no signs of giving up and stands in front of me, trying to challenge Seldra, who is clearly a higher being.

''But Rastiara, stay back. I'll protect you. This time ......, I promise.

　And gradually, the body is being 'dragonized'.
　The red mist that erupts is clearly thicker than when I saw it in the past 'Dancing Tournament'.

　I changed a sentence on the page, and a new determination was born in Snow.
　I read it and

"--Snow Walker had many traumas to deal with.

　First, his own 'dragonization' itself. That and the loss of a loved one. Among them, the most profound trauma would be 'The One Who Steals the Reason'. In the past, Snow had experienced the slaughter of her friends at the hands of Tida, the one who stole the logic of the darkness.

　That trauma had bound her life for a long time.
　It's not only that, but also the fact that it is the strongest.

　However, after a year of repeated defeats, he was finally trying to overcome all the trauma in front of the same kind of 'thing that steals the truth of nothingness' Seldora opponent.
　The reason for this is to protect his precious companion (Rastiara Fuzzyards).
　For the sake of Rastiara, I don't care if I'm going to be 'dragonized' and never return.
　Even if I know I will lose, I will fight with a vow that I will never give up again--

...... Snow.

　I admire and learn from her back (...).
　In the meantime, the battle on the ground floor of Hoosiers Castle heats up even more.

'Let them get close!

　Nearby, Ryner was shouting.
　The opponent that those twin swords were cutting and tying was Hitaki-chan.
　In this short amount of time, it seemed that he was approaching me at the shortest possible distance, without sound. Ryner noticed this and stood in the way, fighting the shapeshifting ice blade just like before.

''...... That skill, it's obviously a countermeasure against me.

　Hitaki doesn't move and intercepts it with a blank expression.
　From the way she speaks, she seems to understand the power and meaning of Ryner's skill 'Evil Sense'.
　However, even though he knows that he is an opponent that can't be defeated so easily, he doesn't change his fighting style and continues to fight using only his ice blade.

　The battle on the first floor of the Foozeyers' ground floor becomes a rivalry, albeit temporarily.

　Dia fights with Fafner and his magic.
　Snow is comparing physical strength with Seldora.
　Reiner engages in a sword fight with Hitaki.
　Each challenge was conducted and stalled.

　As I stepped back and watched the scene, I realized the significance of the battle situation.

''This is .......''

　I'm sorry my friends, but honestly, it's not a good match.
　We're being taken advantage of in an uncommon manner right now.

　The Stealers of Reason don't use magic tricks. They are always backwards, using almost the same kind of power, and gently trying to outpace their opponents.

　It's probably because they are calculating what they will do after they beat us and aim to capture us.
　When Hitaki said "just in case" and "we won't hurt you guys", he wasn't lying or joking. There's a lot of room and consideration for the strong men on this battlefield.

　So the competitive battle will continue for a little while longer.
　Even without the skill 'Reading', it's easy to just read what happens next.
　Next, Fafner surrounds the battlefield with blood, Hitaki-chan freezes everyone with cold air, and Serdra aims to stun the weaker opponents in turn with vibrating magic.
　We, with our inferior ground strength, are completely unable to resist the orthodox methods of those strong men and lose.

　If it was possible to compete with those who steal reason, it was only Maria.
　But since even that faint chance of victory was crushed in the first place, it's no longer--

　I turned my eyes away from the battlefield where the game was decided and looked at the knight who was waiting next to me.
　Sera-chan understands her own strength and competence, and she is devoted to protecting me while gritting her teeth.

　That Sera-chan, I make eye contact with her. And with the skill 'Reading', I try to find a page where she can abandon me and run away - but that future is not easy to find.

　It was a pleasant, but slightly troubling situation.
　I had no choice but to look to another girl.
　In order for her to hear me, I will say my wish.

'Sera, ....... Now I'll stay behind and buy you some time. So, in the meantime, can I ask everyone ......?
............!

　When I told her that I was going to be the bait with a divine face, Sera-chan shook her head vigorously.
　Furthermore, instead of Sera-chan, who can't speak, a reply flies in from the front.

''f*ck off!　What a stupid thing to say!

　It was Ryner who interrupted his sword fight with Hitaki and took a large distance from me.
　He seemed to have retreated to warn me, even if it meant exposing an opening.

　His body is facing forward, but he turns his face slightly to the side and shouts.
　It was a decisive gap, but Hitaki-chan remained expressionless and didn't chase after me.

''Ryner would have figured it out by now. He'd only get caught if he lost here.

　I think Hitaki knows from the beginning that this is a three-way fight.
　She seems to be willing to take the high ground while me and Ryner are fighting.

''Yeah, I know what I'm talking about!　I know it's okay for us, but I don't know if it's okay for you.　When you die here, what will we look like when we meet the Lord!

　Ryner is not at all swayed by my persuasion.
　Unlike Serah and her gullible daughter, on the contrary, he scolds me.

'I don't need a child, don't turn your mind!　Listen, Rastiara!　I know everything is doomed, but resist to the end!　Just because the 'world' has been set up like a book from the beginning doesn't mean you're just going to sit back and follow it!　No one else has it!

　Reiner treated me like I was a four-year-old child - no, I was actually born four years old - and refused to acknowledge my proposal.
　His tone is rough, but I can see his kindness in it.

　I really appreciate that concern.
　However, as we haven't known each other that long, he was also a little misunderstood. Indeed, from now on, I will move as I am set in stone like a book. But it's--.

'That's not true, Rainer. I'm not following it because I have no choice. I'm reading this book because I like it.

　Once I went through a near-death experience and saw both the bad and outrageous deeds of Tiara-sama, and yet I still trace it back to the 'thread' because I love it.

I want to live out my life to the fullest, even if everything is as it was meant to be. Otherwise, I'll be left with 'unfinished business': ......
'Mi, "Unwanted" ......?　You ......

　Despite being in the middle of the battle, Ryner finally took his eyes completely off the enemy ahead of him.
　When he saw me, his eyes widened and he was sincerely surprised to see me.
　I could read the inner workings of it.

"-- Obviously, Rastiara's appearance was different from a few seconds ago.

　The biggest difference is the magic power that he wears.
　An enormous amount of magic power that could only have been obtained illegally from somewhere.
　Everything, including its color and quality, is new to me.

　And the masterful expression on her face that is not typical of her age of four years old overlaps with those of the former "Stealers of Reason". That means that she doesn't intend to stop anymore, either--

　It's a nice feeling.
　It feels like I'm being recognized for everything I've done to date, being equal to the 'stealers of reason' that ran through my life a thousand years ago.

　However, I never think that the reason I was recognized is because of me alone.
　I'm not going to be able to say that I'm on par with those who have been stealing logic for a thousand years, thanks to the body and skills that Tiara-sama has prepared for me - most of all, thanks to this continent's new calendar (...).

　When I think about it, this new calendar is "me" itself.
　I was only born a few years ago, but the stories are connected to each other from a thousand years ago. The same level of accumulation as the "Stealers of Reason" was present in the "I" from the beginning.

　I finally understood that at last.
　Now I understand the true power of the skill "reading".

　It's not just about reading books.
　What is important is not the ability to get information about the real world.
　Nor is it the foul part of being able to read the future.

　The reason 'we' used to love books is because in that tower/cathedral, "I felt as if I could experience someone else's life". The feeling of being able to get a whole life, both the darkness of my mind and the light of my heart combined, was the only thing that saved me in that birdcage.

　The sense that the more I read, the more my short life thickened.
　That's the true value of the skill 'reading'.

'Well, wait: ......!　That's just like Nosfi--

　Reiner moves to stop me from acting strangely.
　I tell him it's nothing to worry about.

'I'll be fine. I'm not like the Stealers of Reason, I have no regrets. All there was was a 'dream'. ...... But that was the end of the line for the 'Stealers of Reason'. After it was over, just keep dreaming the 'dream' ......

　Then he released the magical power that had been stirring inside his body all along.
　Its attribute was a star.
　The magic power that shimmered from the mixing of many magic powers was made to strike at the nearby Ryner and Sera.

''Wha--?
----?

　And then they 'flip'.
　As they were about to move, they fell forward and became completely motionless. They lost their solid will and fainted.

'...... style'

　Thanks to the fact that I've been reading from the 'magic stone line' all this time, I have perfect control over its nature.

　Having succeeded successfully, I took a breath.
　I thought that perhaps Ryner might prevent it with his spunk, but it seems that my fears were unfounded.
　Only, in this unusual situation, the last of the friends who had been hiding all along showed up.

''Big brother Ryner, big sister Sera!

　A reaper crawls out of the shadow of one of the debris and runs over to them.
　He put his hand to his forehead to check the condition and then looked at me with trembling eyes.

'Now ....... The same ...... that someone named Ragné used on Maria's sister.
Yes, my good friend and imitator. It's the same with Ragne. Somehow, I'd love to show you, Ragne, but ......, is it too late for that?

　The fact that the girl I was hoping for (the Reaper) came out on schedule reassured me even more.
　There would be almost no more obstacles for all of us to retreat.

　With room to spare, I saw the light coming through the central atrium.
　Even though it is not yet morning, the fact that it is so bright is undoubtedly due to the power of the 'one who steals the reason for the light'. And the increasing light means that the defeat of Ragne-chan, who would be a relative, is approaching.

　I can feel the rapid progress of this tale of Hoozeyer's Castle on my skin, like a book being rolled up in the wind with a parachute.
　The Reaper was wary of my spare attitude.

'La, rastiera sis ......?'
Reaper, please. Get everyone out of here.

　And I tell her that I couldn't ask Serah to do it.

'You're going to run away ......?　But then you're a big sister!　If your brother comes back, it won't mean a thing!
'I know. But this is the only way we can have a happy ending 'together'. I want to save Hitaki-chan too ....... If I don't save Hitaki-chan, Kanami won't be able to go back anywhere for the rest of her life. ......

　I approached the Reaper in the middle of the battlefield and reached out my hand.
　She notices my intentions and reaches back, too.

　Temporarily, the Reaper and I make a 'connection'.
　I'm going to mimic the way Kanami once shared her life with the Reaper in the Battle of Rowen.
　All of the information I have seen, along with my own life, will be passed on to her. It includes, of course, the last page of what I believe to be the last page of my life.

　The reaper looks at it and asks me with a look of disbelief.

...... Ho, really?　Is this what you really want, sister?　Not someone's 'thread' from a thousand years ago?
Yeah. This isn't the only wish given to me by someone else. It's a 'real, true wish' that I chose to make. I'm with ...... reaper.
'With me, with ....... Your sister, too, with her 'magic' ......, became a real 'curse' .......

　The Reaper looks confused and goes through the information he shared with me.

　However, she is the daughter of Kanami in her prime a thousand years ago. With her outstanding processing skills, she gradually lights up her eyes with the light of understanding. Then, I look around.

''Reaper, take everyone and run. ...... run, run, run, run, get ready to come for me one day (・・・・・).

　Repeating the same request told her that there was no more time and no more room.

　A little farther away, Dia, who was fighting Fafner, was now about to lose. Even if she had the advantage in a two-on-one with Maria and her cooperation, one-on-one while protecting her friends seemed to be a disadvantage.
　The same goes for Snow, who is fighting Serdra. She was relying on her power as a dragonborn (Dragon Newt) for much of her life, and she has been outnumbered against her upwardly mobile power.

　Soon, she will lose.
　Through my skill 'Reading', the Reaper also sees a future of being wiped out.
　So, after she has lost her mind, she will make a decision.

I believe in ...... Attaches too. But I don't believe in someone from a thousand years ago, I believe in my sister. I only believe in one of my 'best friends', sister Rustyala, ......!

　With that word, the Reaper entered the shadow of Sera, who had fainted.
　Furthermore, just like when Maria was wrapped in a black robe, the wolf's huge body was clothed in darkness. The black-furred wolf stood up and opened its red-tinted twin eyes.

　--The 'Grim Reaper' possessed it and took over the unconscious Sera's body.

　Because of her personality, she often turned to assist, but she could take control of the possessed body at any time if she wanted to. Probably, Maria also knew this and let her inhabit her body. That's why I let her escape earlier, prioritizing the Reaper's peculiar power over my own, which was only firepower.

　As I knew even in the labyrinth, if it was a retreat battle, there was no one more useful than a Reaper who controlled dark magic.

''Thank you, Reaper,''

　After thanking me for turning to my side, the Reaper immediately picked up Ryner's unconscious body with Sera's body.
　He then threw him into the shadow of his huge body and let him sink.
　It was probably a magic like a variant of the 'possession'. It's a method of transporting because it's a reaper who has learned Kanami's dimensional attributes.

　Furthermore, with the speed of a 'Demon Returning' wolf, the Reaper runs fast.
　The first to go was Fafner, who had grabbed Dia with his huge blood arms and tightened them up.

　Strangled, Dia was on the verge of fainting and being thrown into the pool of blood at Fafner's feet at any moment. -- but a fog of darkness rushed through and passed by.

　The Reaper had taken Dia's custody with aplomb.
　Fafner let out a cry of surprise as he tried to unleash his magic towards the dark fog.

''Oh, hey!　The magic "Blood--
"Fafner, stop chasing me!　It does a lot of warp magic!　The primary goal is to replicate (replica) that tiara there!

　But Seldra, fighting in the distance, stopped him with a loud voice.
　Fafner stiffens at the sound of his companion's voice, while the Reaper takes custody of Maria-chan as well.

　Seldora checks on the situation, while he goes to end the fight with Snow.

''...... wise. With this, we can end it too. --Magic 《Dragoon Ardor》aaaah!
Dragoon Ardor!

　With a roar that showed he had been out of control all along, he let Seldora's real 'dragon wind' blow away. Snow unleashed the same magic in response, but it was drowned out the moment it made contact.

　As it is, Seldora's "Dragoon Arda" struck Snow's body, which had been turned into a dragon. The unique vibration of the attributelessness destroys the body from the inside, and Snow passes out with a large amount of blood.

　But he's not dead.
　It's an impressive force that knocks the sturdy Snow out.
　Furthermore, her body was blown away just as the Reaper was running at full speed.

　In a coincidence (pass) like handing over Snow's custody, the Reaper retrieves her with a bit of confusion and immediately heads towards the damaged walls of Foozeyards Castle.
　None of the three "Stealers of Reason" and others follow his back.

　I watch as the Reapers take all of their friends and leave as well.
　When I look well beyond the wall, I see that all the soldiers who should have been lined up at some point in time have disappeared. I can only see a few fallen soldiers in the midst of the snowfall, which I have only seen in books.

　Due to the [Winter's Other World (Wintry Dimension)] earlier, the temperature was probably no longer high enough to sit back and watch the battle unfold. Probably, Hitaki-chan is fighting against us, while at the same time controlling the entire continent!

　I really wanted them to see my heroics, but I had no choice.
　I gave up on the role of the soldiers outside and looked up at the only human audience, the 'slice'.　

　No, no. ......
　I'm sure Kanami will be able to see me with 'past vision' .......

　I no longer doubted Kanami's resuscitation at all.
　The pulsation of blood transmitted from my feet.
　A glimmer of light shining from the heavens.
　The 'slit' gaze behind him.
　Everything suggested that Nosfi was going to win.

　And I can believe it.
　As long as my best 'protagonist' Kanami is here, no matter what hardships await me after this, I will surely win at the end of the day. That such a final page is waiting for me--.

'--Rastiara, that page is the only one that won't come. It will never come. If you think of a page that doesn't exist, what doesn't exist doesn't exist.

　However, in the middle of the process, Hitaki interrupted me.
　I knew it, but as long as this white 'thread' is fluttering around, it seems that thoughts can be read too. So I don't have to mend my ways, and I say what I'm really thinking.

The reason why you think the page is impossible is because you haven't really read the book.

　Hitaki-chan continues to listen intently to that, with no expression on her face.
　As long as I don't run away, she's going to listen to all the 'answers'.

'Kanami will get there. Indeed, Kanami has been in the palm of Mother Tiara and Hitaki-chan's hand all along. Everything was set up, manipulated by strings, and her life was just heading towards a cliched last page. There was a lot of shame in it. But--

　It could have been a script that was all set in stone.
　Loewen and Nosfi might have noticed.
　Somewhere in the back of his mind, Kanami might have understood.

'Kanami was fighting as hard as she could. Even the 'Stealers of Reason' did their best to survive to the end.

　But that doesn't mean that no one was - I don't know - acting like it.

　The difference is huge.
　And this difference is the only part where Tiara-sama is winning.
　Hitaki-chan, because of her innate skills, is unable to notice it even if she wanted to.

　Grabbing a few fluttering white 'threads' and walking to pull the red 'threads' at my feet, I declare.

"So it's not this kind of (...) 'made up' (...) 'thread' (・・・・). The 'real' 'thread' is connected and passed on to all of us. Even after it's over, it's still going strong. Thanks to Kanami, the continuation of everyone's last page is still being spun: ......!

　I felt Hitaki-chan, who had been expressionless all along, moved her eyebrows a little bit.
　The current one was a spur-of-the-moment dialogue (ad-libbing) that wasn't on Tiara-sama's page, but - that's why I'm glad that it reached her heart.

''-- Star magic 《Revan》.

　After finishing my declaration, I chant in full.

　First, the magic power accumulated on the continent flows into me.
　However, there is no regularity to that magic power, it is diverse and messy. An ordinary human would probably spit it out immediately due to the mixture of unskillful attributes.

　However, for me, who was born as a recipient of the 'Magic Stone Human (Jewelculus)', inherited the 'Blood Power' and understood the essence of the attribute of stars, it is an ideal magic power.

　Revanism is the only religion on the continent and is a monotheistic religion. The power accumulated by 'paying for' that faith is the history of a thousand years itself, and is the fruit of the prayers of all mankind.
　To put it simply, it's the magic power of one world.

　All of it is becoming mine - but it's still not enough.

　Unfortunately, if I can win with this, the Tiara-sama of a thousand years ago will have no trouble.
　Even with this, it's still far from being on par with Hitaki-chan. That's why Tiara-sama before her death continued to whisper her vindictiveness of "not enough, not enough, not enough" all her life.

　--But you still have a guess.

　One of them is now pouring down from the "summit".
　It was the most dazzling light of the day.
　I'm not going to be able to get a good idea of what to expect.

　--Now, Kanami has come back to life.

　In the moment when everything is ready, I squint my sinking eyes.
