293 289 Epilogue of the Ten Chapters

◇ Memories of the Great Sage (Momo) ◇

"Wow...."

I'm a big yawn.

This is your own mansion in Sinfonia, king of the land of the sun (Highland).

It's been around two out of seven days lately.

The reason is that half vampires (half vampires) allow me to accumulate magic when I'm asleep.

It's actually quicker to suck people's blood.

I am not willing to actively breathe human blood.

... other than Makoto-sama's blood.

--Many years have passed since the Great Demon King (Everest) was defeated.

Of course, Anna, a human being.

The Elf Johnny is gone.

Nearly a thousand years have passed.

Limited organisms exist for such a long time.

Immortals like me.

It must be as old as Master Hakuryu.

Speaking of which, the last time I saw Master Hakuryu was over 500 years ago.

He took care of me until I became a sorcerer.

In the battle of a thousand years ago, I was just horny.

I think it has become much stronger compared to that time.

Because now they call it the "Continent's Strongest Wizard".

"I can't be taught by my little one.From now on, name the White Sage. "

Master Hakuryu said such a thing to me when he was recognized as a wizard.

"White" seems to mean Master Hakuryu's apprentice.

Wizards give something of their own when their apprentices are alone.

By the way, Master Hakuryu has become a legend on this continent as "Saint Dragon".

That ancient dragon is the daughter of the demon king...

Of course, Mr. Makoto is not here.

I left for the Future.

After defeating the Great Demon King, he quickly traveled around the world, chasing away the remaining demon kings.

Besides, in the meantime, we will attack the submarine shrine.

Why is he in such a hurry to live?

However, the undersea shrine attack seemed to have been unsuccessful, and I always dropped my shoulders and came back.

Black Knight Cain, who was lurking in the submarine temple with him, disappeared when Makoto disappeared.

"Bye, Momo. I'll see you later."

The memory of Makoto-sama's voice comes back.

It's the last word I was stroked with my head.

Then came the moon for nearly a thousand years.

(... I want you to call me by my name again)

I've been dreaming a lot lately.

Dark times filled with demons and monsters.

It was horrible, but the days I traveled with Makoto.

I miss everything.

I want to spend time with you again.

I want to talk to you.

I want to hear your voice.

... but I can't.

It feels like the weight has been placed on your heart.

Let's hit the wind a little outside.

I went outside the mansion.

◇

"Hah...."

Midnight in winter.

If I were a human, it would be as cold as cutting my skin, but I don't feel anything alive or immortal.

Full moon in the sky.

It is said that the symbol of evil is due to the queen of the former moon kingdom (Nevia).

It is now called "Witch of Disaster."

Speaking of which, it seems that the witch will be reincarnated in a thousand years.

It's annoying.

Thousands of years ago, it was scattered around the world.

I hang out in the gardens of Highland Castle with a calm feeling.

Master Great Sage?

If I thought no one would be here at this time, I could talk to him.

"Noel."

Blonde hair sparkling with starlight, clear pale eyes.

He was the beautiful second princess of Highland.

(Similar.....)

Anna and two sun witches.

They also nod to rumors of the rebirth of the Virgin.

"What happened at this hour?"

"I prayed in the cathedral without sleeping inside.But... will the Great Demon King really be back in a few years...?And what do I have to do then.... "

Looking at us with an anxious face.

The Great Demon King (Everest), who ruled the earth a thousand years ago, will be resurrected.

An incident in which witches from all over the world were simultaneously subjected to "Oracles".

Since then, tactics to confront the resurrecting Great Demon King, centered on the land of the sun, are secretly moving.

It's called the "Northern March Plan."

Until then, there were some rattlesnakes between the nations, but now we are preparing for the resurrection of the Great Demon King.

Nevertheless,

"That's just the beginning. Don't think too much."

"Yes...."

Princess Noel lying down.

I wonder if you are anxious.

The Savior Party Virgin who saved the world.

Highland Founding Hero.

The burden of rebirth would have been on teenage girls.

"Um... can you tell me how the Saviors are doing?"

"Again....."

I sighed.

Generally speaking, I inherit the powers and memories of the first Sage with 'inheritance' skills.

But he's actually an immortal vampire.

Highland royalties and some nobles know that.

"I can't help it. I'll tell you what happened when we defeated the Immortal King."

Yes!

Glittering eyes stare at us.

(Actually, I was just watching Makoto-san and Anna take down....)

It's a little painful.

But if the witch of the sun (Noel) gets lighter, I'll let him know as much as I want.

I spoke of the hero with some footsteps.

Then came the news that the moon and the sun were flowing again and visitors from other worlds appeared.

The second generation of "Light Warriors" followed Anna.

And they were other people with powerful skills.

But none of those who came to the land of the sun (Highland) appeared to be Makoto.

But it's okay.

I hear (...) yes (...) yes (...).

How can I meet Makoto?

◇

"Um... is the Great Sage going all the way to the Great Labyrinth?"

"Yes, what are you complaining about?"

I rarely came out of the Mansion and told the King and the Prime Minister what to do when I went to the royal castle.

"No! I'm not complaining! However, no matter how many" abominable dragons "came out, it was not enough for the wise man to go there himself....."

"I made up my mind. If you disagree, use your strength to stop it."

When I look around, royalties and nobles look away.

Those here know that I was part of the Savior party a thousand years ago.

It's a glory that I don't normally use, but let me use it occasionally.

"Thank you very much. Dear Sage,"

Ryousuke Sakurai is the "brave man of light" of the present generation who looks nervous.

A brave man from another world.

(... strong)

You can tell by the fighting spirit (aura) that surrounds you.

It turns out she has more potential than Anna used to have.

However, I am not accustomed to the use of force because I have not been in this world for a long time.

"You're in the first place. If you have any trouble, help me."

"Thank you."

He is a good young man of courtesy.

"Great Sage... are you sure you want to go to the Great Labyrinth?"

"You are the best fighter on Highland.Please reconsider.... "

We're done here.

To summarize the story, I accompanied the plan to crush the "abominable dragon" that appeared in the Great Labyrinth.

--Thousand years later, when the Hero of Light went to the Great Labyrinth, Momo and I first met.

Makoto-sama taught me about the future.

Absolutely not.

(Finally... finally meet...)

I even felt like my heart was about to move when it should have stopped.

And in the Great Labyrinth, the Light Warrior successfully crushed the Abominable Dragon.

There was a bit of a danger, but it would be good for the first time.

And I found him.

◇

"Excuse me...."

Dark-haired, dark-eyed, thin.

A young man, a little unreliable adventurer, came into my tent.

(... ahh)

I almost cried.

I desperately endure my voice coming out.

(Finally... we meet)

I asked a brave man of light, a friend, to summon an alien named Takazuki Makoto.

People from different worlds who are judged to have only the weakest physical abilities (stats) and skills.

Therefore he was not invited to the land of the sun.

On the contrary, all the countries of the western continent had to take him out if he was not to be a fighter.

As a result, it was almost forgotten, protected by the temple.

The Great Sage (I) received information about him in his ears long after he came to the other world.

I received the report and wondered if it was really the same person as Makoto.

But....

(Ah... it's Makoto...)

There was no mistake.

It's the way I remember it.

"Come closer. It will be hard to talk."

desperately suppresses your voice from trembling

I remember Makoto being more grand, but he looked a little nervous in front of me.

(I see... Makoto doesn't know me here...)

I remembered that and became a little calm.

Then I realized that there were two cute girls behind Makoto.

(Ahh, let me serve the girl again.....)

I was a little irritated.

I wondered what kind of woman she was, and she was a monster (Lamia) of the semi-devil and the snake woman.

And the red-haired girl is Johnny's grandson!

This can't go anywhere... hey ~

I gave a magic kit to a red-haired elf who was not good at magic, and advised a Lamia girl who was unfamiliar with the 'Change' skill on how to use it.

(... I sent salt to my enemies)

A word I heard recently from a stranger.

Makoto-sama's hometown adage.

Still, it was the first time in a thousand years that I was able to talk to Makoto-sama and feel like I was going up to heaven.

Oh, I want to talk more.

◇

Then I found something to do and went to see Makoto.

Even so, from the point of view of the wise man, it was difficult to make errands.

Every time I saw him, he got stronger.

Quickly, use the Great Spirit of Water.

Save the country's crisis ahead of time.

Even the Demon King was defeated.

It became the Makoto-sama I knew.

Finally, Makoto-sama traveled a thousand years ago.

I'm sure it will help me when I was human in the past.

And I'm going to like him.

For a thousand years... forever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever.

I came before the black 'coffin' in the back of the mansion.

"... when are you going to wake up...?"

I murmur without strength.

When I opened the coffin, Makoto-sama was asleep in the ice magic.

Ice protected by the Great Spirit of Water.

I can't melt it.

"It's been... a thousand years...?"

Touch the ice.

It is hard, inorganic and has no warmth.

"... when will you wake up...?"

I didn't hear from you------------------

"Little one? Are you crying?"

"Eh!?"

Suddenly, a beautiful woman with pale skin stood in front of her.

The Spirit is invisible to me, the Immortal.

Except for the Great Spirit, which is a mass of magic.

"Great Spirit of Water (Undine)....?"

"You look great while you're not looking at it."

They're talking about my Sage costume.

"Where is it?"

I shouted unintentionally.

A thousand years!?

That's why spirits don't have a sense of time!

No, it doesn't matter now.

(The emergence of the Great Spirit of Water (Dear)...!!)

I hurried back into the coffin.

"Ah... ahh..."

The ice, which had not melted for a thousand years, had vanished without trace.

The token and Makoto-sama's chest were pulsating.

Slowly... slowly, Makoto-sama opened her eyes.

◇ Takazuki Makoto's Perspective ◇

(Takazuki Makoto, command the Great Spirit of Water to freeze yourself.Wake up in a thousand years.)

The instructions of the Goddess of Destiny were truly avant-garde.

"Frozen sleep (cold sleep)..."

I didn't think about it.

I was wondering if it was the only one.

The fear is to be defenseless while asleep.

Can you wake up in a thousand years? That's the point.

Let Momo keep an eye on you while you cryosleep.

"Let Momo keep an eye on you?"

"What am I...?"

On my tweet, the Sage looks anxious.

"Momo, I'm in charge!"

"Eh, yes! I don't know, but I'm on it!"

You responded well.

Good boy...

I'll explain it to you later.

"How do we wake up in a thousand years?"

Ask the Great Spirit of Water

Can't it be Momo?

(Momo, I can't unlock the magic of the Great Spirit of Water.Either Takazuki Makoto wakes himself or the Great Spirit of Water wakes him up.)

I see.

"Great Spirit of Water (Dear), can you wake me up in a thousand years?"

"I don't feel very confident because I don't have a sense of time...How long has a thousand years elapsed since the last divine war? "

That was 15 million years ago.

……

……

Redness.

It seems difficult to give the Spirit a sense of time.

It was 15 million years ago and it was a mythical era.

If you keep sleeping after 15 million years, it won't be stylish.

(I can't help it ~, I'll teach you the magic of destiny.Time measurement (timer) Remember the magic)

There's magic like that.

(No, I created it for Takatsuki Makoto.)

"... I apologize for the trouble"

(Fufufu, thank you!)

That's why I taught the Goddess of Destiny magic personally.

And ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Johnny and Hakuryu (Mel), of course.

The Earth Hero (Volff), the Wooden Hero (Julietta), and the rest of the Great Labyrinth came to see me off.

I felt very sorry for seeing Momo crying all the time.

And Anna-san was... angry.

"I wish you'd stayed a little longer..."

That's what I was saying. I was swelling my cheeks.

But I told her I'd be back a thousand years from now.

She is also convinced.

Finally, he smiled at me.

Well then, let's go.

Say goodbye to everyone a thousand years ago.

Anna, who was in a better mood, approached.

"Mr. Makoto... I promise. Remember?"

"I remember."

"I won't forgive you if you forget!"

That's what Anna sent me.

That sad smile and Momo's crying face are the last memories.

◇

When I slowly opened my eyes, an orange light came into my eyes.

A dim ceiling spreads out into view.

At the edge of his eyes, a candle fire is shaking.

"... uuu..."

I can hear someone crying.

It came from right next to my body.

Someone is nearby.

"...... Ma...... Koto......"

It was a little girl with white hair.

Momo?

But it's not a thousand-year-old monkey in my memory.

It was the wise man who dropped me off at Highland Cathedral.

But I still feel a little trembling with my face buried in my chest.

He waited for me.

For a thousand years.

My body is heavy.

It was even a billionaire to open your mouth.

I've been asleep for a thousand years.

Of course not.

But I have to tell you.

I have to say thank you.

"Momo... I'm home"

I managed to squeeze out my voice.

"I've been waiting..."

The voice of the responding pigeon was also scattered.

"Thank you."

I moved my heavy arm and gently stroked Momo's head.

Thus, I was able to return a thousand years later.
