"Oh, we've been talking nonsense, haven't we? By the way, how's your eye and arm?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After a short fuss, the conversation turned to Sam's physical condition.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Unfortunately, I still can't see or feel anything. It hasn't been a day yet, so it's nothing to worry about."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It's an inconvenience, but it's not a problem.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I can see out of my other eye and I remember how to use my arm even though I can't feel it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If I have to fight against a demon king like Lepssy again, it will be a big burden, but against a human, I will not easily fall behind.

　Sam had regained his original strength and skills, and was able to use the magical power inherited from Ur without any problem, he was proud of it.

I'm sorry I let you use it, even though I knew there was a price to pay."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You don't have to apologize, Ur.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I know. But I still want to apologize for not being able to fight."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Still, I don't need an apology. I fought because I could. I used it because I knew I would pay the price. I couldn't have been so generous with the lepers in the first place. If I had hesitated to use my power, even for a moment, I wouldn't be here now.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sam had no regrets.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If he had not fought because he was afraid of the cost, he would have regretted it more.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　No, he could not even regret if he had died.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I shudder to think of what would have happened after that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Ur, Günther, and His Majesty Clyde who were there would have been killed by the lepers. After that, there is a big possibility that Liese and other important people in the capital would have lost their lives too.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then, Sam's decision to fight against the Lepsies at that time was not wrong.

"- I see. Then I won't say it again."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yeah. That's fine."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Then I'll tell you what I didn't tell you."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What you didn't teach me?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes. There are things I have deliberately kept from you. And I have omitted that knowledge from the knowledge transmitted by the inheritance magic I have performed on you. But for the future, it would be good for you to know."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Huh?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I had never thought that there was something that Ur had intentionally omitted from the knowledge he had passed on to me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At the same time, I could see that he had definitely done so for my sake.

"Compensatory magic?　What does that mean?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I've never heard of this kind of magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At least, I have never heard of it in the more than four years I have studied under Ur.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It means exactly what it says. Magic for a price. It is a very simple but powerful magic. Originally, we wizards used magic by consuming our own magical power. We use magic by paying the price of magic power. And what do you think would happen if that price were increased?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... Well, we can use powerful magic, right?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

That's right. There was once a study of compensatory magic. But the research was not good enough. If you increase the price, you can use powerful magic, but you don't want to pay the price yourself. Then what should you do?　It's easy, just have someone else pay the price who is not you."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Is that...

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's forbidden.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm sure you're right.

　At any time and in any place, there are people who are willing to take risks for others while being unwilling to take risks for themselves.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When I hear such stories, I am reminded of how cruel human beings are.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"The most forbidden art is the one that was recognized as forbidden because it was found to be able to force others to pay the price. Furthermore, even if it was powerful magic, it could not go beyond the boundaries of human beings. After all, there is only so much magic a human being can do.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Huh?　But what about me?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sam's question was valid.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As a human, Sam had defeated the Demon Lord with a single blow.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even though his opponent was imperfectly resurrected, he had defeated the Demon King, a secret that had been kept by the Kingdom of Skye for generations.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　More than anything else, Sam was not aware that the [Sekai wo Kirisakumono] he used was a compensatory magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Rather, he did not even know how he was able to use it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Originally, Sam's skill was a simple one, .

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was a simple and easy-to-understand skill that specialized in cutting.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, Sam cannot use a sword. He cannot use any kind of weapons or tools.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So, he decided to use his skill as a slash using magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He improved this skill, made it easier to use and more powerful, and over time, sublimated it into magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Its power is such that it can slaughter the Ordo, the chief of the people of Najaria, with a single blow.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But [sekai wo kirisakumono] is different.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was not invented by Sam, nor was it the brainchild of Ur.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It came to Sam's mind like a revelation during the battle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At the time, he was in a life-threatening battle with the Dragon King, or rather, on the verge of being killed, so he used it without thinking. As a result, he succeeded in cutting off the Dragon King's wings.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But I knew there was a price to pay, and Ur and the Dragon King I fought had warned me not to use it, and I had not used it ever since.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(-If what I used was compensatory magic, I feel that I have exerted a power beyond the realm of human beings.)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, except for you. By paying a price, the Sekai wo Kirisakumono can use a limited amount of power that surpasses your own. I tried not to think about it because I didn't want to make you use it again, but it's too strong for compensatory magic, and the price is too little for its strength."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes. I agree. If the price for being able to use that much power is a temporary loss of function in one eye and arm, I'm sure he won't hesitate to use it again."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"--I'm afraid of it."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Huh?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Ur looked straight at Sam.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Her eyes seemed to be sincerely concerned for Sam.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Are you sure you haven't paid the price?　Are you paying for something that you and I can't perceive, such as a life span, without knowing it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I don't ...... know about that."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was horrified when Ur told me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(Yes, why did I assume I was only paying what I could figure out?　Lifespan is invisible and cannot be felt. I don't know what I'm paying for in magic, or talent, or anything else.)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"So promise me, Sam. I'll never use it again."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"--that."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sam could not reply.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If another Demon Lord should appear as an enemy, there would be only a limited number of ways to deal with him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was better to sacrifice himself than to let the fear of the cost deprive him of what he held dear.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I understand your concern. So I will give you a solution. You will be pleased. After all, it is the magic of the elves.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"--Elf!　Urgh!　I know an elf!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Elf.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They are the representatives of fantasy, but Sam has never met one before.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When he was told that he would be taught the magic of the elves, his heavy thoughts were blown away.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yeah, too bad they're perverts."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But at the master's words, Sam's shoulders slump.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I see, you're a pervert. There are so many perverts in this world.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yeah, there's a lot of perverts."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ha-ha-ha."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ha-ha-ha-ha."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sam and Ur laughed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They kept laughing, as if it were a joke.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They laughed so much that they gradually lost the reason for their laughter.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thinking back, when I used to travel with her, we laughed at trivial things.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(I have more things on my mind, but that's okay now. If Uru tells me not to use it, I won't use it. That's all right.)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After talking and laughing with Ur, Sam finally felt that he was properly reunited with his beloved mentor.
