469-1st Anniversary Extra Edition "Challenge to the Magical Power of Death, Second Volume-Endless Wall"





 Feeling a strong sense of weakness, my body collapses to the bed.


Good job, kite.

 He had finished the 500 fainting and recovery sessions designated by Black while taking an enormous amount of time.
 My head hurts, my nausea is terrible, and the fatigue that comes from the mental aspect is not half bad. This is really tough.

''Well how many hours did it take? It's nighttime outside, right?
Yeah? No, 'about four hours'?
What? No, no, I think we've been at it for more than ten hours...

 At the four hours Black told me, I involuntarily forgot about my fatigue and got up my body. To begin with, it took 100 seconds for the magic power to empty out once, and that's 500 times, so even if I did it the fastest way, it should take a long time.
 In response to my doubts, Black smiles brightly and tells me, "This room is called 'Outside and Time'.

"This room is 'staggered' so the outside time is only about four hours long. I'm not as good as White, but I can manipulate the time too, you know.
Oh, yeah...
'Yes! That's why, starting tomorrow, I'll do 'double today's'.
Huh?
That's a thousand times!
Sourdoughka.

 Black is even more Spartan than I thought he would be! Starting tomorrow, that's twice as much - more than 20 hours in terms of experience? No, I think it's going to be more than a whole day. I think I'm going to be strong........

'.........Speaking of which! After all, how much magic did I have today?
'Hmmm ... about .025'! The more magic power you have, the harder it is to raise, you know~

 Oops, what a surge of 25 times the amount of magic power in one day.......d*mn it! A hundred is a long way off!

Well, Black this is going to sound crazy, but....
Yeah?
So, frankly, what's my magic level as a human being?
'Well, um ... well, about 'average 10-year-old' ...?'

 How little talent am I.......................my magic amount is too low.

''Black, tell me honestly what my magical talents are........''
"...uh-huh. "Surprisingly Hollow"...
"What?
'Hey, Kite! No, I'm fine! I'll make sure you're in good shape. I'll properly bring you up to the high-level demon grade!
'....Oh, as grateful as I am...as horrible as I am...

 Thus, the first day of training ended with a slight despair.







 About a week has passed since I started training with Kuro, and the amount of magic power has increased to the point where I can actually feel it myself.
 

 And today, he came to visit Isis-san's residence and read a book together, relaxing.
 Even though it was something I wanted to do, the past week of Spartan training was really tough. That's why being with Isis-san like this is really soothing.

''........Wha?
...Kite?

 While feeling happy, I casually grasped Isis-san's hand.......and was astonished.
 Is it because I was more sensitive to magic power than before due to the influence of training, or is it because I unconsciously interfered with Isis-san's magic power to try it out... I was now aware of Isis-san's order of magnitude more powerful magic power. No, to be precise, I should say 'I could only vaguely understand that it was incredibly large'.

 It was as if I was putting my hand on a mountain so huge that I couldn't see the top...........................as if I was desperately trying to push it.
 
 I thought I understood it in my head. However, the wall I actually felt was........hopelessly huge.

''........Kite.......are you okay?''
'What? Oh, yes. I'm sorry.
"...Today...today...do you feel...tired? ...What...is...going on?
That's not... well...

 I wasn't sure for a moment if I should talk about it. A sense of surprise is valuable, but there's no way to resolve this matter in a short time.
 So, if I cheat here, I'll be worrying Isis-san for a long time.

 After realizing this, I decided to tell Isis everything.
 I told her that I consulted with Kuro to find out what I could do about Isis' death spell, that I chose to grow out of the methods she offered me, and that Kuro is currently training me for the job.
 When I finished talking about it, Isis-san opened her mouth, clearly upset.

''Da, no!  .... a painful experience...
I'm sorry to worry you. But I........I really want to make you happy, Isis-san.
"...I'm...still happy enough...now, aren't I? ........with Kite by my side.......so........I'm not going to do that......
I want to make her even happier than she already is.
"...kite....

 I was really glad that Isis-san was sincerely worried about me and wanted to stop the special training. But there's a reason I can't give up this objective.
 Like the desire to date Isis-san in the city, but I wanted to solve this issue for one more purpose.

''I ... so ... well ... with the blessing of so many people, Isis-san and ...'' ...I want to have an incredibly happy 'wedding'!
Huh?

 Yes, my true purpose was to do this. I want to see her in her wedding dress, smiling happily as many people congratulate her on fulfilling the dream she once had for ISIS-san.
 As for controlling the magic of death, it should be possible for my magic power to reach her even if I'm not in direct contact with her. Of course, controlling the magic power of death from a position away from your body would require a level of magic power and precise control that exceeds the minimum level presented by Kuro, but... it shouldn't be impossible.
 If that's the case, I'd like to give it a shot.

...
''Yes. When I can control the magic of death I will propose to you again.
...

 Hearing my words, Isis-san, with large tears flowing from her eyes, still had a sincere expression of happiness on her face.

''........Kite.......even if I'm selfish......can I?''
Yes, sir.
"....try your best ... to make the dream I gave up ... come true ... and ... ...make me ... the happiest ... wife in the world.
I'll take care of it!

 The wish announced in a trembling voice I nodded strongly with a certain determination.







 The day after I told Isis-san of my decision, I was sitting in front of my desk in my room thinking seriously.
 As a practical matter, it would take a considerable amount of magical power to suppress Isis-san's death magic, and my magical power level is still far from being able to reach it.
 No matter how high the wall is, if you can climb it little by little, you'll eventually get over it, but........but it will take time no matter what.

 ...It's not enough if I don't do things the way I am now. As it is, it's too late.
 But you know what? I mean, Black doesn't have time to waste. He doesn't have a lot of time to train me, and I don't have a lot of time. If possible, I'd like to train when Black is not around.
 But since Black has the pocket-watch-type magic tool, if I passed out without him, I wouldn't have any way to wake him up... wait.

 ...White, I'm begging you. Bring me that cursed instrument.

(Go ahead, take me on a date.)

 Thank you. I understand the date.

 Okay! Now I've got my training magic tools. I also have a lot of World Tree fruit that Liliwood gave me.
 

 In other words, if he ate the World Tree Fruit at the right time when he consumed 90% of his magic power for 90 seconds... not 100 seconds with this magic tool... he should be able to continue training even if he was alone!
 I don't know what the difference in efficiency is but I'll make up for it with the number of times I've done it.

 Headaches and nausea are just a matter of spirit. I'm just going to keep going...........................and keep trying!
