Aurelian's body is surrounded by light.

'Disappear ... do you mean I'm going to disappear?

　The light diffused into the surroundings and eventually became particles.
　Aurelian's body gradually became thin and transparent.

'You can't beat Riley you can't prevent the revolution, and that's proof that you think you can.

　I knew that I alone could not defeat Aurelian, no matter how hard I tried.
　I'm sure it's an irreplaceable humiliation for Aurelian to be defeated by his own brother, or rather sister, Riley.
　After all, he was beaten once five hundred years ago.
　To prevent a revolution, Aurelian had been steadily preparing for it.
　And when he challenged Riley with the full force of his power and found out that he still couldn't reach him, he was ready to give up.

　But.

I'm not getting beaten up here. I can't be beaten here, I'm not supposed to be beaten!

　Aurelian shouts, his throat tearing up.

'You're not giving up,'
Yikes!

　I grab Aurelian's head and hold him against the wall.

"Give up already. You're no match for me and my team. Be a small person and accept the revolution with an open mind.
Do you think I'm a little...
'Isn't it?　It's all in the name of making everyone happy, but what they're actually doing is bordering on folly. I can do a little better politics than this.
"Shut up, yeah, yeah!

　Aurelian tries to escape my hand, but his feeble strength is no match for it.
　But despite being so far outnumbered, there is a slight glimmer in Aurelian's eyes.

''We should all be together.''

　Aurelian muttered in a raving voice.

'My ambitions will not be fulfilled here. But what if ... 500 years from now?　In a world five hundred years from now, when magic is on the wane, that should be possible.
What the hell do you think you're doing?

　The light had been weak, but eventually it gradually regained its strength.

''Guaaaaaah!''

　As it was, the light grew stronger, and Aurelian let out a final cry... and then disappeared from sight.


'Kuh, Kurt. You defeated it!''
It's over...


　Lara and Cynthia come running up to me.
　There's nothing left in my hands. There is only emptiness.

No you haven't completely disappeared. I'm going to abandon this world and do something in the present.

　If my guess is correct, it's going to be tricky if I don't get this right.
　I hastily grab Lara and Cynthia's hands.

'Let's go back to the present day. Let's go back to the present day and have our final showdown there.
Wait, wait, Kurt?　What the hell does that mean?
I'll explain later.

　They still don't seem to understand the situation but.......it can't be helped.
　I didn't know Aurelian had given up so badly. He's the one who's in the wrong place at the wrong time.

　I, together with Lara and Cynthia, was to transfer out of the magic world.

　◆ ◆ ◆

　When I went out of the magic, I found that the class "First" was holding a play...just like that.
　The classmates were performing their roles on the stage.
　When I looked towards the audience, it was full, and everyone's eyes were glued to the stage.

　The play seems to be reaching its climax.
　The Revolutionary Army has gathered in the capital and is about to ride into the castle where Aurelian is.
　The audience's spirits are rising as well.

　In the midst of all this.


'We should all be united as one.'


　Suddenly, a disastrous voice rang out.
　The classmates on stage and the audience all looked around in unison.


"What in the world is this voice...?
What?　Are you getting weaker and weaker?
'It feels like magic is being sucked out of me...'
What's going on?


　The magic power drained from everyone's bodies.
　They went to the sky and gathered in one place.
　This was the Aurelian's last resort, I guess.

　Eventually, the aggregate of magical power took the form of a person.
　What is that person's name?


''Ku-(k)-(k)-(r)-(r)-(r)-(r)?


　Marise, standing on the stage, exclaimed in surprise at the sight of him.
　Exactly.........Kurt. In other words, two beings appeared, just like me, and slowly landed on the stage.

Kurt, what's going on?　How on earth does it feel like this magic power is being sucked out of me...

　She runs to me.

　However.

'Hahaha!　This guy has an amazing body!　Now I'm going to use this power to rampage around!

　And I(...) smiled a pleasantly high smile and held up my hand to Marise.

　Magic power gathered in my hand.
　Even after seeing that, Marise couldn't act immediately.

''For starters, it's you, for starters, go away.

　The magic fires from me, and it shreds Marise to pieces--

But there's no way I'm letting you do that.

　At that time.
　The transference magic was completed and we escaped out of the magic, and we entered the space between me and Marise.
　Immediately, I deployed my warding magic and protected Marise.

'Two Kurt!　And Lara and Cynthia?　What happened to the demons?

　Marise looks at the two me's in turn, as if confused, when they suddenly appear.

'Two me?　Don't make me this freakin' imposter.

　I shrug my shoulders.
　I stood in front of you, I'm sure I'm two halves of the same figure, and the shape of my magic power is exactly the same.

Haha, I knew it was coming back.
Shut up. Don't think you're going to get away with borrowing my appearance Aurelian.

　I tell him as if to intimidate me(...).......no, Aurelian standing in front of me.
　To put it simply, this guy has activated his magic and completely copied my shape.... and my power.

　I didn't expect him to copy me, let alone a mere mortal. It didn't happen overnight. Probably many years........that's exactly the kind of magic I've been preparing for 500 years.

　A vast and complex magical formula.
　I've seen it somewhere.
　It wasn't a thousand years ago.
　It seems like it was only recently.

'You are strong.'

　As I continue to think, Aurelian interrupts me with his voice.

'But now I'm exactly the same as you. Will you be able to kill me?

　Fire Spear is released from Aurelian's hand.
　Hmm, with this one shot, a whole city could be easily destroyed. It has that much power.
　Maybe it's thanks to the analysis of my magic power in my demonic mind, but I had indeed created a perfect copy.

　However, this guy forgot the most important thing.


''That would be me at most five(...) minutes ago(...). In five minutes, I'll continue to grow indefinitely, okay?


　It was a return of intent.
　I fired my Fire Spear as well, offsetting what Aurelian released with... well, more power than that.

''Guaaaaaah!''

　As it was, the Fire Spear pierced Aurelian's chest and blew him backwards.

''Even if it's an imitation, attacking something that looks exactly like me... it's hard to feel good about it...''

　He lets out a sigh.
　Out of breath, Aurelian slowly gets to his knees.

'Ba, silly?　How can your power outweigh mine!　You and I have exactly the same power, and yet...
The me of five minutes ago and the me of today are no match for each other. A difference in power has been made in the last five minutes.

　As I took a step toward Aurelian, I continued.

'Well, you've been imitating me. You're ready for this, aren't you?
