Chapter 24


“Well then Misha . ”


I turn round by the altar and Misha walks over to me .


“Are you going to tell me?”


She quietly watches me .


“…… . About Sasha……?”


“About you . ”


Misha falls into her usual deadpan silence when I say that .


“…… . . Want to know……?”


“Because you’re my friend . ”


Misha looks down slightly .


“You don’t want to say?”


Misha shakes her head .


“Want to say . ”


“You change your mind?”


*Kokuri* Misha nods .


“…… . . Arnos is my friend . Is kind… . . ”


“I see . ”


“……Nn…… . ”


Misha looked at me with her usual eyes devoid of feelings .


“…… . . At midnight on my 15th birthday, I’ll disappear…… . . ”


She delivered her confession in an indifferent tone .


“This related to you being a magic doll?”


It’s not a particularly surprising story from a technique like this .


“Magic doll is not correct . ”


Was it a metaphor then?


“Misha Necron does not exist . ”


Fumu . I see . Was it such a thing?


I can see most of the circ.u.mstances now going by what I’ve heard so far .


“In other words, you are originally Sasha?”


When I said it Misha blinked at me in surprise .


“…… . How can you know that…… . ?”


“It’s almost impossible to cancel any contract made by Contract unless the difference in magic power is enormous . Yours and Sasha’s magic power levels are very similar yet she cancelled the contract . ”


One of the few methods did come to mind .


“However, if you and Sasha are the same person then only one of you needs to cancel it since in effect you signed the contract with just one person . ”


“……Arnos is smart…… . ”


It’s not something worthy of being praised . I guess the people of this time don’t know that there is magic to split a person into two people .


“It’s similar to a magic called Soul Fission . The body and soul are divided but they gradually return to their single original form . ”


Misha nods .


“I’m a simulated personality created by magic . I don’t originally exist . I’ll return to Sasha on my 15th birthday . That’s why that girl called me a magic doll . ”


Because she’s a temporary life she’s a magic doll huh?


That explains the same magic power and why Misha is in white clothes despite the fact she has the same blood . They always knew she’d disappear .


“Is this the work of Aivis Necron?”


Misha is surprised again .


Looks like I’m right .


“……How… . . ?”


“Soul Fission is not a simple magic . In this age, it has really limited use . Also, the success rate dramatically drops if it’s not cast on a fetus . You carry Aivis’ blood . It’s not a big leap to suspect him . ”


And he has a reason .


and fusion magic together have a purpose . Fusion magic can fuse together two magics but it has a flaw due to it’s limited fusion time . ”


Even the fusion magic I improved still has a limited duration .


“However, it’s a different story if you originally divide one thing into two . Using the power of Misha and Sasha who will return to one person Aivis came up with a way of eliminating the duration defect of fusion magic . ”


Use to divide then use fusion magic to amplify the magic power . The original magic power will increase many tens if not hundreds of times and because it was originally the same thing it will permanently fuse together and never separate again .


I must admit even I find it quite an absurd thing to do . The complexity of the method, the difficulty of the magic and the risk to Sasha are all enormous .


Even if she survived the fusion could her body withstand the power? Even if it did, would her mind survive?


Well, even if Aivis is rotting he’s still a mazoku I produced directly . It will probably be fine .


“There are other possibilities I thought about but how’d I do?”


Misha nods . Guess I was right after all .


“Separation Fusion Reincarnation


“That the magic cast on Sasha?”


Misha nods again .


It’s a magic made by combining fusion magic and . It must have been developed to produce a stronger mazoku . This is probably the reason that he started studying fusion magic .


“That’s why you said we can’t meet on your birthday . ”


Misha nods .


“… . . I’m sorry… . . ”


“Why are you apologising?”


“… . . I was silent……”


“Don’t worry about it . When you want to say something you should just say it . ”


Misha looked down and muttered .


“I wanted to spend the time normally . ” She says while raising her gaze to meet mine before continuing .


“Since I was born my fate was decided . I’ll disappear and only Sasha will remain . Even so, those 15 years would be pretty good I thought . ”


Even compared to the short lives of humans her life is too short . For mazoku it’s a life so short it will be an instant .


“With only that much time I wanted memories but no mazoku would talk to me . Half a Necron . I’m not supposed to exist . Even in the school, it was the same . ”


Fumu . Certainly, I’ve never seen Misha talking to another mazoku . Even Emilia will only do businesslike exchanges .


“I thought so . ”


Misha’s eyes are strong and stare straight at me .


“Arnos spoke to me and became my friend . You took me to your house and your parents happily spoke to me . ”


Misha laughs .


It was trivial but Misha cherishes those memories so much .


“A miracle happened in my life . ”


A girl I spoke to on a whim considers it a miracle . What kind of past have you walked until now? It’s easy to imagine .


This age is certainly peaceful but it’s still not without tragedies .


“Arnos . ”


Misha calls me .


“Thank you for calling my name . I was happy . ”


The thing I wanted to say tomorrow has arrived . I gently place my hand on the head of Misha who’s saying such a silly thing .


“What’s wrong?”


“Are you happy? Are you really satisfied?”


Misha nods .


“I’m not afraid because I never existed from the beginning . ”


Yare yare . This is quite the problem .


“You are here and you are my first friend . You didn’t think I was going to let my friend die did you?”


Misha’s eyes rounded but she immediately shook her head .


“……Impossible even for Arnos…… I do not exist from the beginning . I’m only returning to the original . I’m not dying, I’m disappearing . I cannot revive . ”


Resurrection . If the soul survives the death then by looking into the abyss at the origin of the soul they can be revived, however, the origin of Misha is Sasha . After Misha disappears, even if I use the origin of Misha which is the source of the resurrection won’t exist anywhere .


“A body and soul cannot remain divided forever . ”


Originally one thing divided into two by magic . The time limit is 15 years . After 15 years the body and soul that is not restored cannot continue living .


To begin with, the state of division between Misha and Sasha is unnatural . Magic can temporarily cause unnatural things to exist and can also restore unnatural things .


That being said magic cannot indefinitely maintain artificial things caused by magic .


If it does maintain it then a distortion will inevitably form somewhere .


“Thank you . ”


“What for?”


“Because Arnos is kind . ”


I don’t understand at all .


“Kind words are good and all but just those won’t save you . ”


Misha shakes her head .


“I was truly saved by you so it’s alright now . ”


What do you mean its alright?


While thinking Misha reached up and patted my head .


“There there . ”


Another action I don’t understand .


“What are you going to do?”


“Are you sad?”


“Sad? This me?”


The sad one should be Misha .


“Do you regret becoming friends with me?”


“Why would you ask that?”


Misha kept quiet for a moment the spoke .


“… . Misha Necron does not exist… . . ”


She says it in her usual indifferent tone . Because she will disappear she’s worried about me making friends with someone who will disappear .


Stupid . This complete idiot .


I grabbed her slender body and pulled her to me hugging her strongly .


“… . Arnos… . . ?”


“There are two things that I don’t know . ”


Strongly . Strongly . I hug Misha .


I will tell you that you are here .


“… . What… . ?”


“Regret and impossibility . ”


While being hugged by me Misha turns her cold eyes to me .


“I told you . I am the founder, the Demon King . I will grant your wish . ”


Even with her usual deadpan expression Misha seems puzzled .


“I want to reconcile . ”


She must mean Sasha .


“That is my wish . ”


Is that what she wants in her last few hours?


She still doesn’t believe I’m the founder .


I won’t let my words become lies .


“…… . . Difficult……?”


“Don’t worry . I told you I don’t know what impossible is . ”


I release Misha .


I began walking towards the large door out of the room .


“Where are you going?”


“To where Sasha is . I’ll make sure you make up . ”


When I laughed Misha smiled happily .


“… . . Nn……”


“Misha . Will you make me one promise?”


Misha looks at me .


“You must keep thinking that there is a tomorrow right up to the last moment . ”


She remains silent .


“Do you want to spend the time normally?”


Misha nodded at my words .


“I understand . ”


“Alright . Let’s go and quickly catch Sasha . ”


We start heading back the way we came .


I stare ahead and the sound of Misha’s steps follow me .


There’s nothing to be scared about she said . Because she doesn’t exist .


Is that really so?


She may have just given up and accepted it .


Take a good look Misha .


I am Arnos VoldiG.o.d .
