Episode 726: Finally laughter (2)

A portal created by connecting all modern science and magic.

Liné headed beyond the portal wearing a white robe.

The moment I stepped foot, my vision changed, and an imaginary space like a universe full of starlight unfolded.

Liné trembled at that sight.

It was a sight that stimulated the primal fear of humans. The image of Ludger falling down into that space was still clear before my eyes.

Rine composed herself.

‘are you okay. We ran simulations several times and conducted repeated research. You even prepared safety devices just in case. So it’ll be okay.’

After making a promise to myself, I felt a little relieved.

Line threw herself into imaginary space. The pure white robe draped over her body shone and gently wrapped around her body.

Imaginary space is where dimensional pressure is often applied.

Because the size and scale were different, a defense technique had to be devised to resist the dimensional pressure each time.

Line continued down the imaginary space.

As I crossed over the sea of ​​starlight that was twinkling little by little and fell into the depths of the sea, I was filled with pitch-black darkness with nothing visible.

Just looking at it makes the fur on my skin stand up instinctively.

I couldn’t imagine what was lurking down there. That’s why I was even more scared.

That’s what it means to step into an unobserved space.

A place where people can never survive.

Even more so if it had been three years.

but.

‘I still have to check.’

I couldn’t believe it unless I saw it with my own eyes.

The reason was saying that Ludger was dead, but the heart believed that he was definitely alive.

‘Because you gave me a code word with a magic blueprint written on it. If so, there must be a reason. Because my brother is not the kind of person who would do something without any reason.’

The power of light surrounding Line’s body weakened little by little.

No matter how strong the protective artifact was, it had difficulty withstanding the power of dimensional pressure.

‘It’s still worth holding on. It didn’t reach the dangerous level, and I brought a lot of magic stones as a spare.’

Line gathered courage and entered the depths of imaginary space.

If Ludger fell down, it would most likely be around here.

‘But how far down do we have to go?’

If I continued like this, the coordinates I had fixed would become distorted and I felt like I would lose my way back.

If she does that, she will never be able to find Ludger and will become a lost child in the dimension forever.

Line bit her lip.

I wondered if I should go back now, but Line decided to go a little further.

‘a little bit. Just a little more.’

I thought to myself over and over again, wondering how far I had gone.

The light brightened beneath the pitch-black space, and a pure white space appeared.

Line’s feet, which had been going down endlessly, touched the floor.

“This place… … .”

It was a place full of pure white sand.

Above, imaginary space stretched out like the night sky.

It felt like I was in a pure white desert at night.

There was nothing to be seen in the desert. It was literally just a winding ridge.

Rine swallowed his saliva and walked through the desert.

Crossing the ridge and going down. How many times did I repeat that?

Line discovered something.

It was a structure made of sand.

“… … !”

Rine examined the structure. The place that was touched by human hands looked like some kind of stone statue.

It could never have occurred naturally.

at las!

Liné looked around her head.

Another structure appeared beyond her vision.

As I got closer, I saw a structure that looked clearer than before.

It looked as if it had been roughly made out of clay. I don’t know what I was trying to make, but I felt that my skill level had increased.

‘It’s here too!’

The next thing I found was the appearance of a stone statue.

It was similar, but had a human shape. A strangeness lingered in Rine’s eyes.

Line walked.

I continued walking.

In the direction she was heading, structures made of pure white sand passed by one by one.

Some were in the shape of trees.

Some had human shapes.

Some were even beast-like.

They were all things that had been touched by human hands.

“ha. ha.”

Line’s steps became faster.

I felt like we were getting closer.

My heart felt like it was going to explode with anticipation. Liné ran on the sand, playing with her legs non-stop.

Rine, who was running out of breath, stopped.

Liné put her hands on her knees and caught her breath.

Liné, who had tidied up her messy hair, looked straight ahead.

Her eyes shook like never before.

The hand I was holding tightly was trembling, unable to control my emotions.

The end of her gaze.

There was a large stone slab there.

It was over 10 meters wide and was made of pure white sand, so it looked like a huge drawing paper.

There were many people drawn on the drawing paper.

Among all the people smiling, there were also many people from Line’s memories.

And there was a person drawing a picture in front of him.

The jet black hair in her memories was longer than before. It went beyond her waist and almost touched the floor.

But other than that, nothing has changed at all.

The hand of the man who was drawing a picture stopped.

His head slowly turned, and his sapphire-blue eyes turned towards Linne.

The color, like the sea, was the same as what I had seen many times in my memories.

Liné smiled, curling up the corner of her trembling mouth.

If I didn’t do that, I felt like I would burst into tears right away.

“I’m here.”

“iced coffee.”

The man slowly opened his mouth.

He hadn’t spoken for a long time, so it seemed like he wasn’t used to speaking out.

However, he seemed to have adapted quickly, and a stereotyped language came out through his lips.

“Is it Rine?”

“yes.”

“You’ve changed a lot.”

Ludger’s words contained several meanings.

Line has become a full-fledged adult.

He was taller than before, his hair was longer, and his aura was somewhat more mature.

But there was more to what Ludger was saying.

“Are you now able to freely manipulate your magic power?”

Line responded with a trembling voice.

“yes. “It’s all thanks to my brother.”

“No way. It was something you were able to achieve purely because of your hard work. “I didn’t do anything.”

“But thanks to the magic technique my brother left behind, I was able to come this far.”

What Ludger left behind for Linne was magic beyond the dimensions he had devoted his life to researching.

To move beyond three dimensions, across imaginary space, and into another dimension.

For that purpose, I created a tesseract, a Klein bottle, and a coordinate designation spell.

He used shadows to create magic that transcended space, and eventually created a crystal corridor.

However, there were many things that had not been made yet.

At the last moment, Ludger decided that it was not up to him to complete it.

So I handed everything over to Rine and sent her back to her original world.

Even at the cost of sacrificing oneself.

“There are many things I want to ask. How on earth did you survive? People said my brother must have died. “I didn’t believe it either, but I couldn’t shake that feeling of anxiety.”

“is it.”

Ludger opened his mouth, recalling three years ago.

“At first, I thought I was dead too. But I got help.”

“Help, who is it?”

“god.”

Ludger raised his head.

“No, gods. “After taking revenge on Lumensis, they used up what little strength they had left to protect me.”

It was thanks to the help of these gods that Ludger survived even after falling into imaginary space.

Because of this, Ludger was able to survive without dying even under dimensional pressure here.

That was the reason why food intake was not necessary.

Nevertheless, his body seemed to have no trace of thinness. Therefore, it must be the power of God.

“But there was nothing I could do in a place like this except stay alive. Because this is an imaginary space with nothing in it. So here, I started making things one by one. I did what I could, raking the sand. “It was hard to bear if I didn’t do anything.”

Make a sculpture, draw a picture, or write.

I couldn’t rule out the possibility that I wouldn’t be able to survive here forever.

When the power of the god who protects you is exhausted, it will soon be your last.

So Ludger decided to leave his mark.

A day that may come in the future, perhaps in the distant future.

“So that if anyone comes here, they can find it.”

The same goes for the picture I am drawing now.

As he searched through his memories, he drew the faces and figures of the people he had met and formed relationships with.

If I just drew it, I would draw happy smiles on their faces.

And so and so and so and so on.

Before I knew it, the last thing left was my own image.

However, Ludger was never able to draw his own face.

I wondered if I could join in on this situation where everyone was smiling happily.

Even more than that, he couldn’t imagine himself smiling happily like those people.

Because of the doubts and anxiety that remained in his mind, Ludger stagnated before the end of the painting.

How long has it been since then?

Finally, someone came. He said that Line, a student he had taught and whom he had sent away three years ago, had come here.

He has grown more than he remembers.

“It seems like quite a few things have happened to get here.”

“that’s right. It’s hard to express in words. Do you know how hard it was? “It was something I could never have done on my own.”

“What if I’m alone?”

“Everyone helped. Senior Erendir and Empress Eileen are no longer princesses. President Elisa, Teacher Selina, Sedina, Julia and other friends. And many countries also provided help. In particular, the support money sent from the Kingdom of Utah was significant. The New Magic Tower also provided generous support. “Even a magician who uses speech came to help me a few times.”

Line excitedly told stories about the people she met.

They were all people in Ludger’s memory.

One by one, they gave Rine some small or big help.

That’s why Line was finally able to come this far.

It was not his power alone.

This was possible because everyone helped.

“How much time has passed outside?”

“Three years. “Three years have passed since his brother disappeared and the crusade ended.”

Line bowed her head to Ludger.

“sorry. “I should have come to save you earlier.”

Line was extremely saddened by the fact that Ludger had been living alone in such a barren space for three years.

A person would go crazy if they stayed in a place with no one for just a week, but it’s not a month or a year, it’s a whopping 3 years.

Line felt heartbroken for no reason.

If only you had done a little better, if you had slept a little less, if you had tried a little more.

That assumption did not end.

Ludger looked at Line and shook his head.

“Don’t blame yourself. I know. You did your best. During the three years, I would not have wasted a single day. Because coming here is proof of that.”

“brother… … .”

“3 years. Okay, 3 years? “I guess all the guys I taught have graduated.”

“yes that’s right. “The students that my brother taught are all going their own way.”

“is it.”

Ludger turned his head and stared at the picture in front of him.

“3 years.”

He moved his hand.

A smile was engraved on his face drawn on the stone slab.

That was also the time when Line came to visit him.

It was also the time when I completed this painting.

“Well, it’s faster than I thought.”

* * *

Line held out the crystal ball she had prepared to Ludger.

It was an object made to imitate the crystal escape hatch that Ludger gave to Linne. It would have been nice to see that the performance was even better than that.

“I will use this to return to the coordinates I remember.”

Ludger accepted the crystal ball.

It was simple to use. All I had to do was channel my magic power.

Ludger was about to pour out his magic when he suddenly looked at the hair dragging beneath his feet.

I left it alone because it was a hassle to cut, but I guess I don’t need it anymore.

Snip.

Ludger cut his hair down to the waist.

Then she gathered the rest of her hair and tied it back.

“Go now.”

A crystal ball surrounded Ludger and Linne’s bodies.

The two bodies slowly rose.

Jumping through imaginary space, a distant portal appeared in the form of a blue dot.

“Arrived!”

“It seems so.”

With a bright smile, Liné took Ludger’s hand and crossed the portal.

The vision changed with the light. I quietly stared at the changed scenery.

It was a large cavity. There were all kinds of machines around, and plants were growing under the portal.

I felt the eyes of people around me.

The researchers and wizards who participated in the development of the portal were staring at Ludger with disbelief.

“I never thought I would really succeed.”

“Have our efforts finally borne fruit?”

“More than that, that person is definitely… … .”

Even though three years had passed, there were people who recognized Ludger.

He was a famous person like no other on the continent, so it was only natural.

Ludger realized that he had finally returned from the reactions of living, breathing people.

It was then.

The front door of the communal laboratory opened wide, and knights in uniform came rushing in.

While everyone was confused as to what was going on, the knights surrounded Ludger.

“Now, wait a minute! “What is this!”

Line was embarrassed and tried to say something, but Ludger raised his hand and cut her off.

“It’s okay to go.”

“but… … .”

“You don’t have to worry.”

When Ludger spoke like that, Liné had no choice but to move away from him and pass the knights.

Beyond the knights, 1st Princess Eileen, or now Empress Eileen, approached and stood in front of Ludger.

“Demon Lord Heathcliff van Bretus. “You are under arrest.”

Eileen spoke in a cold voice and handcuffed Ludger’s hands herself.

Feeling the pressure on his wrists, Ludger looked at the handcuffs.

Arrest.

Considering that he was the one who started the holy war three years ago, it was rather gentlemanly treatment.

Ludger looked around.

I saw familiar faces.

The students he taught were now adults and settling down.

That fact made me laugh.

“Ha ha ha ha ha!”

Ludger couldn’t hold back the joy that was rising and burst into laughter.

Everyone widened their eyes in surprise at that reaction.

I laughed.

Ludger made a noise and laughed like an innocent boy.

It was a face that usually only showed scorn, laughter, or a cold smile.

People who knew him realized once again that this man could have such a bright smile.

Even Eileen could not help but stare at Ludger blankly at that smile.

Ludger eventually stopped laughing and lightly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and spoke.

“okay. “Let’s just go.”
