Get to the infirmary!
You idiot!　If it's a magical outbreak, going to the infirmary won't fix it!
Somebody go to the hospital and get a healer!


　The schoolyard was in an uproar.

　Cynthia was lying on the ground with her knees bent, desperately trying to breathe out, "Soo, soo".
　The expression on her face was so painful that it almost choked me up.

"Kurt, Kurt!　Do something for him!
"I'm going to do it even if you don't tell me!

　I respond to Lara's cry with my right hand.
　I bent down and put my hand on Cynthia's abdomen.

　...... Not handling magic well?
　But I'm good enough to use backfire magic.
　But how can she let her magic run wild?

　Runaway magic ...... is a condition in which the magic power that normally flows through the body becomes stagnant for some reason, causing severe pain to the user.
　There are a number of reasons why magic power can run out of control.
　One of them is the inability to handle one's own magic power.

　In this case, like Cynthia's, the magic power will leak out regardless of the person's will.
　She would be in constant pain as if her head was cracking and her entire body was being squeezed.

Cynthia. Can you hear me?
I can hear you .......
Good. I'm sending my magic into you now.

　Cynthia's head snapped upright.

The flow of magic inside you is messed up right now. I'm going to fix that now.
"...... Yeah.
I'm the flaw, Cynthia is the fallen mark. I'm defective and Cynthia's a fallen mark. The color of my magic isn't right, so you'll feel tired. But can you trust me and put your body in my hands?
"Yes.

　Cynthia's face was covered in sweat, but she managed to nod.

　Good.
　If she doesn't accept me, the magic I've sent her will be rejected and there may be after-effects.
　This question was important.

Let's do this.
......!

　After sending in the magic, Cynthia's body gave a small shiver.
　A torrent.
　The magic power flowing through Cynthia is like an overflowing river.

He's quite a rambunctious fellow, isn't he?

　But I dared to jump into the torrent and adjust it from the inside.

　I don't normally recommend this kind of approach to others.
　If you jump into the flow of magic that is running out of control, your own magic will be pulled along with it.
　As a result, both of you may end up in a situation where your magic power goes out of control and you can't get back in.
　However, I took the reins of the rampaging horse and turned the torrent into a calm one.

............
"How's it going?　Are you calming down?
"Uh-huh.

　Cynthia's expression became softer and softer.

　That's a relief.
　Now it's time to finish.
　With minor adjustments, we can restore the flow of Cynthia's magic power to .......

Okay. Now the pain is completely gone.

　And he took his hand away from Cynthia.

　Then she jerked her upper body up.

"Uh, yeah, ...... nothing.
Sounds like a success.
But I've never done anything like this before. But I've never had anything like this happen to me before.

　Cynthia blinked.


"Oh!　Kurt's at it again!
I thought you had to go to a hospital to have your magic cured.
You can't be cured. The only thing they can do is make the pain of a magical outburst a little better.


　The other students' voices rose from the surroundings.
　It seems that the only way to treat an outburst of magical power in this world is to endure it.

　And yet, .......

I'm not sure if this is the first time this has happened.　I'm not sure if it's ...... Cynthia. I'm not sure how many times I've had my magic go out of control?

　I'm not sure if you've seen this before, but I'm sure you've.

When did this happen?
Since I was much younger. ...... But I don't remember much.
What do you mean?
Cynthia. I don't remember much from when I was a kid.



　Cynthia said with a downcast look in her eyes.

　I don't remember ......?
　From the looks of Cynthia, it's not as simple as it sounds.

　When I first saw Cynthia's magic, I felt something strange.
　There's something missing from ...... Cynthia's magic, and it's not perfect. .......
　I feel like there's something there.

Cynthia, listen to me. This magic is out of control. ...... What do you think Cynthia wants to do?
"What?
If you want to stay like this forever, that's Cynthia's life. I'm not going to interfere. But if you want to keep your magic from spiraling out of control for a while, you can trust me at .......

　I'm not going to talk about it.

"Can you cure a magic runaway ......?
Nothing is impossible for me.
I've been through a lot of pain whenever my ...... magic runs amok. I've even hurt other people by getting caught up in the torrent of magical power. So, Cynthia ......, if this can be cured, I want to do my best.

　Cynthia looked up.
　Her eyes seemed to have a strong flame in them, instead of the weak light of before.
　It's settled.

Good. First, Cynthia's magic is out of control. I think it's due to Cynthia's lack of magic.
Kurt. What do you mean?

The first classmate, Marise, popped up with a question.

He can't handle it well because of the strange loss of magic power. If we can get rid of this missing piece, ...... Cynthia says, we can stop the periodic outbursts.
But what do you mean by "missing"?　It's not just that you've consumed so much magic power that you're running low on ......, is it?
Oh.

　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're doing.
　It's a good idea to take a look at the website and see if you can find anything you like.

But ......, I don't know the details either. I've never seen anything like this before.
Is there anything that Kurt doesn't know about ......?
But you'll find out. I told you. I said nothing's impossible.
But how did you get ......
Cynthia's memories.

　Even a thousand years ago, I had never seen such a strange phenomenon.

　According to Cynthia, she doesn't remember much from her childhood.
　In other words, along with her magical power, even her memory is missing.
　I thought that the lost memories could be a clue to ...... her lack of magic power.

But how can I get back my ...... lost memories?

　This time, Lara asked me.

There are several ways. There is a way to go back to the past, ......, but this time I'm going to use a different method.
"Or go back in time?　What the hell are you talking about?

　Marlies was surprised.

　But my body doesn't have enough magic power to go back in time.
　Even so, she could go back five years, but it would be impossible to interfere with the time axis.

　If her memory has been completely erased, she would have to think of another way, but that is unlikely.
　Even a thousand years ago, there were only a handful of ...... guys who could completely erase their memories.
　And they don't always succeed. Even I was probably able to erase at most 50% of my memories.
　Therefore, most of them don't erase their memories, they just keep them deep inside so that they can't remember them.

　So, .......

"Kurt?　What are you talking about?
I'll tell you in a nutshell.

　I looked at Cynthia and continued.

I'm going to go into Cynthia's memory now.
