I had never heard of, or even tried, any magic that could alter memories.
　He went back to his room and tried to formulate a theory, but he soon realized that it was impossible, as creating a completely different memory and applying it to any human being was a feat beyond human comprehension.

　Even reincarnation magic, which separated the memories from the soul, required an enormous amount of magical power and subtlety.
　It was no way for a human to have complete control over his memories.
　Even if I had ten thousand units, it would be impossible.
　This means that the situation we are in now is not due to magic.
　This is in line with Ainess' opinion.

How can this happen? ...... The only hint I can give is that moment between Festerlise and Dallas.

　It must have been an interlude between the overwriting of memories.
　A little later and I would have missed it.
　In all likelihood, by now, my existence would have completely vanished. .......

I don't know what caused it, but it's a relief to know that once I'm gone, it's not like I'll never be back.

　I don't know what's causing it, but at least my memories aren't being tampered with.
　The other me, Ars, flew into the past and committed a contraindication, and now that I have defeated Ars, is something strange happening, or is it related to the last words Ars left behind, that I too have stepped into a contraindication. .......

　A dry knock on the door echoes in the quiet room.
　It's almost time for the date to change, and it's pitch black outside the window.
　Not many people come to my room at this hour.

"Who is it?

　I waited for a while, but there was no answer.
　I waited for a while, but there was no answer. The magic I detected was someone I knew well.
　However, it was more erratic than usual, and I could tell that this was not an ordinary situation.
　When I opened the door, I found Phiel standing there, tears welling up in her eyes.

"What's wrong, Fie, ......?

　Feeling as if she didn't hear my words, she silently jumped into my chest.
　Immediately afterwards, she let out a sob that echoed down the hallway.

"Fiehl, what's going on?

I don't want to forget you, Mr. Walth. ...... We finally got to spend some time together. I don't want to forget you.

It's not like you've lost your memory yet.

It's gone. ...... I remembered my brother and Garde Obec until ...... the evening. And yet, when I asked ...... earlier, everything was ......

　It's progressing too fast.
　What are the criteria for the progression? ...... So far, it seems that the progression is starting with the people who have the least relationship with each other, which would mean that Phiel and Seretia are the last. But at this rate of progress, it's only a matter of time before they're affected.

Calm down, if something happens, I'll take care of it.

But I can't just forget about everything, even temporarily. ......

　That's all she said, and then she burst into tears again and pressed her face against my chest.
　I want to calm her down somehow, but I don't think she'll listen to anything I say.
　No matter how much I call out to her, she just cries and cries like a spoiled child.

"I'm sorry, Fiel .......

　While holding Fiehl in my arms, I cast a wind-induced sleep spell.
　I'm sure you're there, I'm sure you're there.

"I know you're in there, Ainess.

　At the same time as I was saying this to the open door, Ainez peeked out.

I'd already made sure he was completely out of sight.

This whole thing isn't magic, is it, Ainess? I think you've already figured something out, haven't you?

What makes you think that?

It's simple. I just tried to come up with a magic theory for falsifying memories, but I've come to the conclusion that it's even more impossible than reincarnation magic or reanimation magic, and it's beyond human control. If that's the case, it would mean that a power beyond human knowledge, a power that is inevitably more than human, is at work.

　Ainess narrowed her eyes and stared at me.

You're right about me being more than human.　You're right about me being more than human! I don't even know if it's the best thing to tell you right now, in this situation.

　Inez, with a complicated expression on her face, let the water cling to her body and pulled it away from me.

It's safe to assume that you have some idea what's going on?

"I think so. I'm going to let Pheuel sleep for today, so come to my room tomorrow. I'll decide if I want to talk to you then.

Yeah, I'll expect a good answer.

　As the door closed quietly in front of her, she thought about the meaning of Ainez's words and the reason for her hesitation.
　Even if there is a strong element of uncertainty, it is unlikely that speaking will have a negative effect.
　If the answer given by Ainez, the spirit, is not correct, then the spirit may not have been involved in the first place.
　But then why are you hesitant to tell me ---- because it's inconvenient or because of someone else.

The answer is simple: .......

　The answer is simple: I don't know if I can tell you what Ainez said, or what the situation is, or if I can tell you now.
　If you tell me, it will have a negative impact on Fiel or me.
　The thought of Ars telling me that I've stepped into the abyss comes to my mind. The only thing I can think of is that if I find out, it might make this situation even worse.

Would it be better to keep quiet tonight and let me know tomorrow?

　It would be best not to make a move now and run into unforeseen circumstances.
　I refused to lie in bed and think about it, thinking that if I could hear something from Ainess, even if it wasn't the core of the story, I could find a way through.
