Editing Mahou Sensou:Volume 2 Chapter 4 (section)

===Part 6===
The wind whipping across the roof of a certain building was colder than anywhere else. Meanwhile, Mui was running up a flight of stairs until he finally reached the rooftop. She walked between all the air conditioning units lined up on the place, and shouted:

-Nii-san!

She was 97% sure that her older brother was in that place. Mui had been waiting for that moment since the time she was with the fortune-telling witch at the magic festival.  In her hands, she carried the pistol named "Arthur" by her own older brother.

Hearing her voice, Aiba Tsuganashi turned to look at her coldly. The setting sun could be seen behind him and his face in the gloom looked even more gloomy.

-You again?

Tsuganashi was standing on the edge of the rooftop and jumped back inside and started walking towards Mui.

When he was close enough, Mui noticed that the military saber he was carrying was covered in blood. She didn't even want to imagine whose blood it was. Maybe from some fellow Wizard Breath student, or some student she had seen at the academy at some point. It didn't matter who it was. He was terrified at the thought of knowing.

-Stop chasing me.

Tsuganashi shook the sword to wring out the blood and then carefully wiped it with a cloth he pulled out. Meanwhile, Mui clenched his fists to stop the shaking of his shoulders. He waited for Tsuganashi to sheathe the saber, and finally spoke:

-I will never give up. I will pursue you until you are by my side again.

However, Tsuganashi scoffed at Mui's desperate words and said:

-I am not your brother.

Mui then, reached into his pocket. The gesture made Tsuganashi become alert and he quickly stretched out his white-gloved hands which were his Aspect. But, as soon as he saw that what Mui pulled out was not a weapon or his Aspect, he lowered his hand.

-Look at this and tell me what you can say about it. -Mui said.

She threw a handful of pictures toward him.

-Those white gloves you're wearing, I gave them to you for one of your birthdays.

The scattered photos showed a boy and a girl. The boy was wearing a pair of white gloves that were still too big for him, but he was smiling at his little sister who was shyly giving him a peace sign. They looked like a pair of very close siblings. However, the photographs were simply trampled over by Tsuganashi.

-These things can easily be faked. But, it doesn't matter whether your story is true or not. Because what I am sure of, is that I am now Tsuganashi of the Trailer.

-Do you want me to come back to you? How many of your fellow Wizard Breath members would attack me in doing so? Don't say stupid things...

-Nii-san...

Her brother's stubborn attitude was the same as before and Mui could no longer find what to say.

"I thought that if I showed him the pictures, he would react, but it doesn't seem to have worked."

At that moment, an explosion occurred several kilometers to the southwest. It was the blaze of the battle between the Trailers and Wizard Breath's. Mui knew that Wizard Breath would attack the Trailers in the area south of Ebisu Station.  It was to be three days before C7 began operations 356 and 358. When these operations began, the communities increased the number of "Concierges" throughout the ruined world. By Concierges, they meant black magic-using mages who managed the entrances to the ruined world and the living world by creating a special barrier that could not be affected by magic and only let those who carried a special button use the mirror.

Mui took advantage of the start of the operation to go out into the ruined world through the many Concierges entrances that belonged to Wizard Breath. She knew that her brother would appear at that specific location on that specific day, so she kept herself hidden in a nearby building until the time came. And from what she had seen, in that time frame, the C7 situation in battle was not encouraging.

The Trailers had concentrated on dominating the airspace. On top of that, on the ground they were carrying out stealth assassinations at night, targeting only mages of advanced rank, using a minimum number of troops. Something they referred to as: "Operation Jackal". That strategy had done considerable damage lately.

Mui wanted to help the Wizard Breath, but his only reason for being there was to rescue his brother, so he just observed the situation from afar. Tsuganashi was one of those who had been participating in the so-called Jackal operation. For the past three days.

Before entering the building they were currently in, Mui witnessed a frozen mage fall several meters from the rooftop. As the man fell to the ground, blood splattered everywhere, leaving a sight of eerie and grotesque red flowers. Mui rushed to the entrance of the building and shed tears without realizing it. She didn't want her brother to keep doing such horrible things.

-Cheer up, child. I've been thinking about you since the last time we saw each other.

—¿…?

Mui did not understand what Tsuganashi said so she just stared at him, then he smiled slightly and added:

-I pictured you in my mind over and over again turning you into an ice statue. And I thought: What would be the most suitable position to freeze you in? Then I thought of one where you would keep that sad expression you have, forever.

Tsuganashi adjusted his white gloves with a smile.

-Ni-Nii-san... You would never do something like that..." Mui replied shaking his head.

-You're wrong. Of course I can. My magic is capable of that. If you say I'm your brother so much, then you should know. I can freeze everything with my "Evil Ice."

 Mui shook his head once more.

-No, my brother would never use his power on a living being. He never used his magic that way.

-It seems that brother you remember was a dull fellow. Isn't this power a wasted treasure?

Mui looked at Tsuganashi who was smiling coldly and said:

-My brother used to create ice flowers for me.

-Ha...!

When Mui heard that strange reaction, he looked up only to see his older brother burst out laughing.

-Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ice flowers? Are you serious? I see you used my powers to play with, huh? They sure were all works of art. ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

-Don't-don't be silly, Nii-san! -You always used your power to help others, not to hurt people.

Tsuganashi couldn't seem to stop laughing when he heard everything she said.

-I've had enough of joking around. The only thing I will use this power for, is to get rid of all the mages in Wizard Breath. Your precious community, your precious friends, and you, I will freeze them all. I will turn their lives into flowers.  You dress them up, don't you, those red flowers scattered around the building?

-Nii-san...

While mui remained horrified, Tsuganashi displayed his white gloves and began at once.

-Free yourself!

From those white gloves, light blue magic particles sprouted.

Mui responded instantly upon learning that her brother was about to cast a high-level affinity magic spell on her.

-Free yourself!

-Too late...

Tsuganashi's attack was faster than Mui, who didn't even manage to aim his gun.

-Grow up! "Thousand Fang!"

The entire surrounding ground, was covered with a thin layer of ice from which, several fang-shaped ice columns emerged.

- "Float!"

Mui soared through the sky with levitation magic to avoid the attack.

-It's useless, take it down! "Big Hail!"

A large amount of fist-sized hail blew down in a gale and hit Mui. She was blown away by the wind, but still managed to aim her gun at her brother and fired:

- "Thunder mil!

The yellow-colored magic particles that gathered in the baked of the barrel of her gun, and drew a huge magic circle and from there, a lightning bolt came out and transformed into a kind of turbine between the two of them, sending all the hail flying.

-Oh, that's right. You are a user of "Acceleration Magic." -Tsuganashi mentioned smiling with interest.

-Nii-san already stopped all of this....

However, he didn't hear what she shouted from the air and waved his right hand with the white glove again.

- "Diamond Cedar!"

Tsuganashi grew a huge icicle that spread out with branches and ice blades just to attack Mui. That Spell, had been created by the two of them when they used to play together.

 -If you claim to have forgotten everything and forgotten me, then don't use that spell!!!!!

With tears in her eyes, Mui pointed at the newly created ice tree.

- "Melt Projection!"

The yellow-colored magic particles, gathered in the canyon bake once again, and created a gigantic magic circle.  The branches and leaves stretching towards it were pierced by the heat ray. However, Mui was caught off her feet from behind and lost her balance.

-Aah!

As she floated, Tsuaganshi was below her, and while holding her feet, he spoke in a cold manner and said:

-It's over. "Stab Robin!"

As he uttered that spell, several birds flew several robins made of ice, flew quickly like bullets, severely wounding Mui.

-Kyaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!

Her clothes were tearing, blood began to gush out and immense pain flooded her entire body. Mui could do nothing.

Tsuganashi made all the ice disappear like dust, and when everything returned to normal. He looked at Mui. She was an intermediate class mage who belonged to Wizard Breath.

-It was a bit difficult to deal with you.....

Tsuganashi slowly approached to corroborate and bent down to check if Mui was dead. At that moment, Mui's eyes shot open and she placed her hand on the surface of the ground as if she was grasping something even though there was nothing there.

-Hold him "Fast eel!"

Her yellow-colored magic particles, spread out on the ground, forming several snake-like strips that wrapped around Tsuganashi.

-What...?

When Mui stood up, he pulled the bundle of magic particles in his left hand immobilizing Tsuganashi.

-Gu...!

As Tsuganashi squirmed and groaned trying to get free, Mui couldn't help but raise her fists in triumph.

-I did it!

It turns out that when she attacked the tree with her "Melt Projection" spell, she took the opportunity to send and weave tiny threads of her magic particles into the ground so thinly that they were invisible. When Mui breathed a sigh of relief awakening her lacerated and ragged body. She received a whisper in her ear.

-What did you say you accomplished?

-Nii...?

Something impossible was happening. Mui just heard her brother's voice behind her. She couldn't even say anything to him because in front of her, the older brother she had held with the yellow snakes suddenly shattered.

-I'm so sorry, but that was just an ice statue.

The merciless voice caught Mui like a Shinigami.

-Huh-gaah!

He grabbed her by the neck from behind and lifted her up. Those very cold white gloves, tightened Mui's thin neck.

-Ni...i....sa....n....

She had to shoot her brother behind her with the gun. But even if she thought about doing so, her hands were too cold and her fingers numb.

-You had said that if I trained more, everything would come out the same way, right, Mui?

—…

Mui had not yet lost consciousness and could hear him clearly and thought about it for a moment.

-What? What was I supposed to say just now? -Tsuganashi stammered.

His hand that was squeezing Mui's neck loosened slightly.

-Nii... saa... saa... n did... you... re... cordar, something?

Even standing behind his back, she could clearly feel her brother's confusion.

-No! You... are... just... saying... weird... things... to... confuse... me...

-Those .... are your memories... I... was... the one who told you that...

It was when Tsuganashi was in the sixth year of elementary school and it was his turn to attend the magical affinities class for the first time. The destructive magic "Evil Ice", was one of the most difficult to control and therefore, Tsuganashi lived every day attached to a special training regimen. And for Mui who always watched her brother from a distance, that was no one else's job.

-Nii-san, you still lack practice. You have to train more to always do it the same way. I will also do it together with you.

The task Tsuganashi was given at the beginning was to shape ice animals, Tsuganashi tried hard and started to practice with clay, but he was always worried that he couldn't do it correctly. Mui was always with him and helped him knead the clay to make elephants, giraffes and penguins.

-I want to play the same as you. -Tsuganashi said.

-No! I'm supposed to be helping you train. -replied Mui complaining.

Her brother always laughed gleefully.

"I can remember that..."

Mui's situation was critical, but there was still hope in her heart.

-You're a very annoying girl. I'll freeze you from the throat.

-Ni... i... i... sa... n....

There was a part of her older brother that could still be recovered. That was enough for her.

"I don't have to give up anymore, I can still get my brother back."

However, her consciousness was slowly starting to drift away.

Mui no longer felt her body and her slightly open eyes, they were slowly closing.

"If only... I could do something else..."

Mui without realizing that he had dropped his gun, raised his hands and placed them on his brother's hand that was squeezing his neck. It was cold, but still, it was her brother's hand.  Mui's eyes began to slowly close and at the same time, her whole world turned to darkness.
