Hurry up to the nurse's office!
Bah, you idiot!　If it's a magical outburst, going to the infirmary won't fix it!
Somebody go to the hospital and get a healer!


　The schoolyard was in an uproar.

　
　Her expression looks so painful that it's almost suffocating to watch.

''Kurt!　Do something about it!
I'm going to do that without being told.

　I answer Lara's cry by raising my right hand.
　I bent down and placed my hand on Cynthia's abdomen.

　..........................Not handling the magic well?
　But he's a good enough wielder to be able to use treacherous magic.
　And yet, is there such a thing as letting your magic power run amok?

　I'm not going to be able to say that I'm not going to be able to do anything about it.
　There are several causes of the magic power running amok.
　One of them is the inability to handle one's own magic power.

　In this case, like the current Cynthia, magic power leaks out of the body without regard to the user's intentions.
　I'm sure you've got a lot of people in your life who have a lot of questions about this.

"Cynthia. Can you hear me?
I'm...
Okay. I'm going to send my magic to you now.

　Cynthia's head snapped up and moved vertically.

'The flow of magic inside you is in a mess right now. I'm going to adjust that now.''
Yes.
'I'm a flaw and Cynthia is a drop mark. The magic color isn't right, so I'm sure you'll feel more tired. But will you trust me and leave your body with me?
Yes.

　Cynthia managed to nod, even though her face was covered in sweat.

　Alright.
　If she didn't accept me, the magic power I sent her might be rejected and leave her with an after-effect.
　This question was important.

''Then let's do it.''
....!

　Cynthia's body jerked and trembled a little as she sent her magic power into the air.
　A torrent.
　The magic power flowing inside Cynthia was like a flooded river.

''You're quite a rambunctious fellow, aren't you?''

　But I dare to jump into the torrent and prepare myself from the inside.

　Normally, I can't recommend this kind of method to others.
　This is because if you jump into the flow of magic power that is running amok, your own magic power will be pulled down.
　As a result, both of us could end up with magic power running out of control and unable to get it back.
　However, I took the reins of the rampaging horse and turned the torrent into a calm one.

''...........''
What do you think?　Are you settling in?
Uh-huh.

　Cynthia's expression becomes softer and softer.

　It's safe to say that we've come this far.
　The rest is the finishing touches.
　With minor adjustments, we can restore the flow of Cynthia's magic power to its original state....

''Yes. How about it, now the pain will be completely gone.

　He pulled his hand away from Cynthia.

　Then she whipped her upper body up.

Uh, um ... nothing.
Sounds like a success.
But I've never seen this happen before. This is the kind of thing you just have to live with until it goes away.

　Crackling, Cynthia blinked.


'Ooh!　Kurt's done it again!
I thought you needed to go to a specialist's office to have your magic run amok.
'It's not a complete cure. It's just that the hospital will only make the pain against magical runaway a little bit better.


　The voices of the other students rise from the surroundings.
　From the looks of it, it seems that the only way to cure the runaway magic power in this world is to just endure it.

　But still.........

''Is this the first time this has happened?　Could it be........Cynthia. How many times have you let your magic power run amok?

　At my question, Cynthia nodded with her mouth closed.

'When did it start?'
From a much younger age but I don't remember much about it.
What do you mean?
'Cynthia. I don't remember much from my childhood.

　Cynthia said, looking down.

　No memory...?
　From Cynthia's appearance, it doesn't seem to be a simple matter.

　When I first saw Cynthia's magic power, I felt a strange feeling.
　It's not as if something is missing........as if Cynthia's magic power is not complete......
　I have a feeling that there is something there.

''Cynthia, listen to me. It's this magical outburst.......what do you think Cynthia wants to do?
What?
'If you're willing to stay like this for the rest of your life, it's Cynthia's life. I'm not going to interfere with it. But if you want to keep the magic from running amok for a minute you'll have to trust me.

　When I asked, Cynthia showed a puzzled expression and her face turned down even more.

''Magic runaway........can it be cured?''
Nothing is impossible for me.
I've experienced great pain every time the magic power riots. I also hurt others by getting caught up in the torrent of magic power. So Cynthia I want to try my best if this can be cured.

　And Cynthia looked up.
　There seemed to be a solid, strong fire in her eyes, not the weak light she had seen earlier.
　'It's settled.

''Alright. First of all, Cynthia's magic power ran amok. I think it's in Cynthia's lack of magic power.''
Kurt. What do you mean?

Marise, who was participating in the class with me as the 《First》 class, popped the question.

''I can't handle it well because my magic power is missing in a strange way.
'But what do you mean by missing?　It's not just that you've consumed your magic power and there's not much left.......
Yeah.

　Magic power is something that will disappear if you consume it, but it will recover over time.
　However, as for the lack of magic power in Cynthia, it is unlikely to recover simply by leaving it alone.

The first thing that comes to mind is the fact that you can't get the details. I've never seen symptoms like this before.
Is there anything Kurt doesn't understand...?
But you'll find out. I'm telling you. I'm not afraid of anything.
But how did you...
Cynthia's memories.

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

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

But.........how do I get back the memories that are gone?

　Now the questions flew in from Lara.

'There are a couple of things. There's one way to go back in time.......but this time we'll take a different approach.
Or go back in time?　What the hell do you mean by that?

　Marise is surprised.

　But there is still too little magic in this body to use magic to go backward into the past.
　Still, I can go back five years ago, but it would be impossible to interfere with the time line.

　If the memories have been completely wiped out, I would have to think of another method, but that is unlikely.
　A thousand years ago, you could count on one hand the number of people who could completely erase their memories.
　And that's not always the case. Even for me, it was probably only about 50% at best.
　Therefore, most of them don't erase their memories, they just keep them locked away in the back of their minds so that they can't remember.

　Then.....

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

　I continued, looking at Cynthia.

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