Instantly, a rush of cold air increased, and tree-like ice gushed out of the frozen grass.

　The momentum was tremendous, and a number of giant icicles that would lightly swallow a single human being rose to the surface.
　It's a static ice that rapidly cools the area (field) just by being there.
　In an attempt to turn even this materialless space into an ice age, it sprinkles white cold wind.

　It succeeded ......?
　Yay, I did it: ......!
　To be honest, I wasn't sure because I couldn't say the best poem I'd ever thought of: .......

　But this tremendous cold air.
　The [ice of stillness] that freezes even the [world] will ignore all laws and make everything 'still' without question.

　Freeze.
　Freeze, freeze, freeze.
　And lead them to victory.
　My magic (...) "Ice in the snow-covered pits, for the day that flows.
　Please take me--!
　You're going to have to--!


"Hee-hee, I knew it (・・・・)--


　Only, the relative tiara was laughing and walking gracefully, without stopping.
　She was spinning.
　Rather, the cool breeze seemed to feel good, and her footsteps even seemed to be getting lighter.

''Why--?''

　Doesn't my real 'magic' make everything 'still'?
　Why is my magic--I suddenly looked down and saw white frost crawling on my outstretched hand.

''Eh--''

　I was the one who was freezing, hoping to freeze and freeze, and I was the one who was frozen.

　I don't know what it means and I'm confused.
　I hastily ponder the meaning of it.

　-- always, the real 'magic' of The One Who Steals the Reason was the manifestation of the life of the surgeon itself. This must be a part of my life and its emanation.

　Then what was it that I had stopped all along in my life: ......?
　No, since when did you wish it would stop in the first place: ......?

　I think about the meaning of the power I've been using without thinking about it, now - I read "The Story of the Aikawa Siblings" again with the skill "Reading" and think about it.

"Just a little bit ....... Just a little bit, 'Beyond this, I want hope' .......
　I wished for it.
　A very modest - but awe-inspiring 'future reformation' for a person to wish for a little bit of their life to work out.

　That's what my brother wished for in his first magical training.
　So, he attracted that convenient future and carried that 'curse' on his back.

"Wow, I wish too ....... If there is magic, 'Someday, you'll find hope' ...... and I too .......

　But at the time, I was wishing, too.
　Next to my brother creating a failure magic, I was doing the same thing.

''Yeah, that's how the 'Ice Power' started--''

　In other words, all along, Aikawa Yotaki was also activating a failure 'magic' and distorting his own life.
　Perhaps, but the target of the effect is only me.
　I've been trying to "still" my "innate differences" and to "still" my thoughts and spirit (mind).
　The reason for the failure magic is that the stasis of my innate difference is incomplete, but the collection of the "stillness" as the "compensation" has been going on.
　The reason I couldn't see that 'curse' was because 'I myself, broken-hearted, wanted a way out of it'

　-- a failure that was no different from the other 'stealing of reason'.

　I was a failure.
　But now my 'innate differences' have successfully disappeared and my thoughts are free.

　--When and who is ......?

　My back is warm.
　Within the crystal-clear icicle, a white rainbow of light was entering.
　Looking at the warm light that seemed to gently melt me, even if I didn't have 'skill' or 'cleverness', one of my heads was enough - I knew (・・・・).

　What I remember is her smile.
　The last days of 'Rustyala Foozeyers'

　--Rastiara (・・・・・・・・・), who was trying to save me (・・・・・・・・・) all along (・・・・・・・).

　Her "Story of My World (Tales of My World (Tales Last Tiara)" had completed the failed magic I had in me.
　Even if I made the "constitution that draws in 'demon poison'" completely 'still', she had somehow--sublimated it to the real (...) 'magic (...)' that doesn't even stop thinking or spirit (mind), before I knew it.

'La, Mr. Rastiala: ......!

　And now the ice on the snow floor, the flowing day (Heavenfall Nibbleheim) is coming to an end.

　--And now the ice on the bottom of the snow, the day of the drift (Heavenfall Nibbleheim) is finishing up.

　Until that "one day" comes, I have been using the magic to stop me.
　The girl who is talking in front of me right now is my -- the girl who is talking in front of me.

''Sister Yotaki, that's a cool 'chant'!　But it's a little out of character. Is it because I'm still a novice at thinking?　Maybe that's an imitation of something?'

　It was hope.
　After that 'final answering session' was over, I used up all my strength.

''--It's okay (...). I'll show you the real 'chanting'--

　There is nothing left for me to do.
　All that's left is to repeat the 'chant' of my life in my mind.

　-- 'Cold at the beginning of life, the end of death is frozen' --'

"We didn't have a cold beginning, and we didn't have a dark ending.

　-- 'I will end up alone,' 'I will never touch the world (you)'

"--I won't end up alone. I will always be by your side.

　Tiara's 'chanting' was just an 'answer'.
　The lack of any kind of twist to it is probably because she heard my 'chanting' now and tried to dissolve it (・・・・・) and thought about it on the spot.
　But that's her life.
　I've been spinning 'chanting' all my life, so I don't need any special poetry now.

　Tiara looks only at me and activates the real 'magic' for me.


'-- Magic (...) "The rainbow crown (Fuzzy Yards Tiara) that heals for the sun.


　The name of the magic was announced.
　However, around Tiara, there was no particular change.

　The only thing that changes is me.
　It melts.
　Little by little, the icicles around me begin to melt.
　All kinds of ice, including the frost on the lawn - including the frost that stuck to the grass - is turning into water.

　There is no more need for 'stillness', and first my 《Ice of Snow Bottom, Flowing Day (Heavenfall Nibbleheim)》 is released.
　That means that my "constitution of inhaling 'demonic poison'" would recur.
　Now, like the water that flowed out at my feet, the former sickness is trying to move within me - but before that, I will be cured (...).

　The recovery spell called "The rainbow crown that heals for the sake of the sun (Fuzzy Yards Tiara)" easily erased that "constitution that draws in 'demon poison'" that couldn't be cured no matter what you did.

　Of course, I didn't achieve this with that single 'magic' alone.
　It's not that easy to repair the irregularity that is me.

　What I cured was the thousand years that the 'Gentle Other World for Me' has been accumulating.
　The real 'magic' of the 'stealers of reason' cornered me.
　My brother's Dimension Graduate "Realize" brought me together with Tiara.
　My brother's Tales of My World (Tales of the Last Tiera) made me believe in magic.
　My own Ice on Snow Bottom, A Day of Flowing (Heavenfall Nibbleheim) made me believe in "magic", and my own Ice on Snow Bottom, A Day of Flowing (Heavenfall Nibbleheim) made me believe in time for Tiara's Rainbow Crown to heal for the sun.
　And from now on, the Rainbow Crown Healing for the Sun (Fuze Yards Tiara) will continue to heal by my side for a long time - finally.

　Finally, but surely.
　Aikawa Yotaki's illness will be cured.

　So, it melts away.
　My hated power melts away.

　All emotions (things), including pain and sorrow, melt away.
　As water, it becomes water, creating a stream in this hoosier's garden, and it flows.
　That stream of water will never stop flowing.
　It will never freeze again.
　Slowly, gently, forever.
　I can believe that the river will continue to flow 'forever'.

　When I saw the stream flowing by, I felt a burning in my eyes.
　I hurriedly looked up at the sky, but what jumped into my eyes were the stars of another world.

　It was so bright that my eyes were blurred.

　The starlight reflecting off the stream and the starlight shining in the night sky were both too beautiful.
　I tried my best to think about it, but the word "beautiful" was the only word that came to mind.
　The word that had once popped into my head so much, but I couldn't think of anything else.

　I don't care if it's cliche anymore.
　In My Thoughts, I had the impression that it was like a miracle.

　A miraculous sight.
　The rainbow crown that heals for the sake of the sun (Fuze Yards Tiara) brought the season of melting snow to the "line". The long 'magical mid-winter' ended, and magic power, time, and the world just flowed away as water in a river.
　The murmur of that river is quiet, so I can hear it well.
　Along with the beautiful sounds, my own voice is finally--

'Oh, ah, ......, ah, ah, ah, ......--'

　Aikawa Youtaki's Disease has finally been cured.
　Even if it was a mere pretense, the objective of the "Gentiles" in the "Other World" has now been achieved.
　That is to say...

　When I looked at both palms, there was no more white frost.
　But instead, it was thin and beginning to show through.
　Little by little, my fingertips were being replaced by particles of magical power, and they were soaring.

　I lost my 'massless nerves' and 'massless cells', and the power of the 'thing that steals the reason for water' that kept my body intact was gone.
　Because the 'unresolved' that I had been holding onto for so long has been resolved.

The truth is ......, I've always been scared ....... I was scared, of course I was scared .......

　Now I can clearly see my 'unfinished business'

　-- The real 'unfinished business' of The One Who Stole the Reason of Water is that I was alone.

　A thousand years ago, even though I had an older brother, he and I were not able to be two.
　As a child, even though I knew the 'answer' to [two people in 'eternity'], I was really scared, scared, scared. --I didn't believe (・・・・・・・). So I always wanted to be alone with 'someone'. I wanted "someone" with whom I could share my fears and encourage each other.
　I could stop and stop and stop that fear.
　The lonely death of living 'forever' alone was so horrible that I felt like I was going to cry for a long time.

　The more I think about it, the more I understand the true nature of "regrets".
　The more I think about it, the more I understand the true nature of "regrets", which cannot be fulfilled by one person, and can only be fulfilled by two people.
　That's why those people have been waiting for your brother for so long--

　--And from now on, I will be able to disappear just like those people.

　Not as the last person to devour all the world, but as the one who steals the reason for the water, with only one little bit of happiness in mind.

　After watching the particles of magic power that had risen and bled into the starry sky and disappeared, I looked forward.
　There stood Tiara, who had used up her own "magic" and, like me, was about to change into magic particles from her fingertips.

　I locked eyes with the matching girlfriend.
　I call out the name of the "hero (someone)" who noticed my "regrets" as I approach...

Tee, tiara. ......
'Finally, I guess I can thank you for that time: ......

　Hearing her words makes me realize that I'm not alone.
　The more I listen to her words, the more I feel my whole body relax.
　Like water, the power of 'magic power', 'qualities' and 'level' flow out of my body, flowing out and flowing out, and I can feel the existence of 'Aikawa Yotaki' weakening.
　It's not a matter of time before he or she is allowed to survive, weak and vulnerable to every extent, weak and vulnerable - even at full strength.

'Come on ....... It looks like the fun 'duel' is about to end ......!　--but first, let's do it.

　We were approaching the last page, approaching each other, but only Tiara stopped in the middle.
　Then, with the face of a director, like a director instructing his actors, he suggests to me.

''--You know exactly what I said before, right?　The one that everyone says before they do the 'trial', you've properly listened to sister Yangtaki too, right?''

　The front door.
　I know and I hear it.
　It's one of those things that has always been baffling to me, as I've only seen 'answers' with skills.

　There was no need for that, but everyone was talking about it. Even though I was unconscious, I was feeling the 'thread' from a higher dimension, but in the end I was playing it to the best of my ability.

　Now, I know how I feel.
　That wasn't just a peek-a-boo.
　To declare one's hierarchy as one of the 'stealers of reason' is to ask for the rest of one's life.
　To 'test' is to entrust one's power to those who wish to connect the story.
　It is a pledge to live life to the fullest, beyond the "thread" and the "world" and everything else.
　The act of connecting the true "bond"...

"Don't worry. I'll make it through. I'll go beyond the ordeal and help you. --And you'll be okay.

　In the end, she was solemnly poised to go over together.

　It must be .......
　All along, Tiara must have been aiming to get here .......
　To come up to my hierarchy and get through my 'trials' .......

　Only, I'm afraid, I'm not worried about anything anymore.

'Now, write with me. The real, our last page.

　Because my 'ordeal' is already over.
　I've already gotten over my tiara.
　So now, here you are.
　For the record, there's no need for an upfront speech or "ordeal".


　-- but this is the last time, so let's get it together (・・・・・).


　I don't want to just stop the flow of this water.
　I don't want to stop the momentum of the story from flowing.
　Most of all, I don't want to stop the "power of water".
　My heart cannot stop reading it either.
　My heart overflows with emotion. Emotions overflow. My thoughts overflowed. The next sentence pops into my head, so I want to write it down right now. And I want to play it myself. I want to follow the red "thread" as the "Stealers of Reason" did in the past, and really go beyond it. We want to live out our lives with all our might - and that's why we say it.


" -- This is (...), this (...) 'last page (・・・・)' is the hundred layers (・・・・・). The hierarchy of "The One Who Steals the Reason of the Water" hiraki. A place that was reached a long time ago and has been waiting for someone alone for a long time. This 'deepest part' is where the 'Hundredth Test' begins, please fight the final battle with me.


　We both read that in unison.
　And soon the 'ordeal' would begin.
　Both of them walked forward to close the final distance.

''Let's go, Sister Yotaki.......''
Yeah, tiara: ......

　What begins now is the conclusion of the duel that has been going on for a thousand years.
　The "Hundredth Test" is to resume the comparison of "body arts" and settle the thousand years.

　The moment the final distance was closed, Tiara first moved.
　With the body movement she had developed over a thousand years, she thrusts her right hand out sharply.

　I was able to firmly visualize the fingertips before they were replaced by those particles.
　In addition, I came up with three responses: 'shift', 'extend' and 'pay off'.

　None of them were reasonable, none of them were bad, and all of them were normal ideas.
　I wondered about those three for a second or two, as if I were savoring them, and then - I choose.

　My choice of 'my answer' is 'embrace'.
　I grabbed Tiara's hand, pulled her to me and held her to my chest.

''Ah--''

　I hugged him tightly and then gently stroked his head.
　I would savor the feeling to the fullest, as I hadn't felt it before today.
　I write down those feelings in my impressions and ruminate over and over again in my head. Of course, I also say it out loud.

''Ah, 'My sister (Tiara)--''

　I utter the name 'family' and breathe with my eyes full.
　I knew it, but it's no longer a game. It can't be.
　The ordeal is over. Even a "trial" is not really--

'Oh, you can't win or lose anymore ......, can you? ...... but is that the end of it?'
'Yes, we're done. Now our book is .......

　The [Duel] has ended with my loss.
　Already [Aikawa Yotaki is unbeaten by anyone] has been destroyed by Tiara's hands.
　Since she crumbled it, now, our book is--.

"That's the last page. ......
Here's the last page: ......

　The end.

　The infinite thickness that the hand that once rolled up the book once felt is no longer there at all.
　And reading with the matching skill of 'reading' is--.

"[--No, you are not alone.
　　The two of them are going on that 'eternal' journey.
　　Next to Aikawa Yotaki, there was always a 'family' next to her that loved her in the true sense of the word.
　　At all times, always and forever.
　　Because it was the two of them for a long, long time, 'forever'.
　　There was nothing to fear anymore--]

　The 'family' written there is Tiara.
　They are two sisters, Tiara Fouzeyars and me.
　So, from now on we are going to--

Haha. ......

　That's not a sigh.
　This is the exhale of reading.

　Reading is, in other words, a disappearance ......, but there is no fear.
　From now on, we will be the only 'magic stones' in existence.
　But next to my soul, the tiara is also with me.
　Of course, before long, that soul will also disappear.
　But I believe that even after that, we will be together.

　From now on, we will be--.
　We both discuss what we think of the book we just put on the table.
　That's not all.
　From now on, the two of us can continue to write books together in the Magical Stones.
　Tiara and I are like-minded people who have fallen in love with the same person.
　We can give each other books we've written, read each other's books, and give each other feedback.
　This would never have been possible without the other person.　
　I can believe in that kind of "magical" ending now.
　So, no more - there is no more fear in my heart.

'There's no more ......, there isn't .......'
'Yeah. Not anymore. ......'

　Under the stars, in a garden with a stream running through it.
　Me and Tiara are two people in The Family.

　We read the same story and had the same feelings.
　It was the last page of our lives together.
