Sion Note:Vol 10

It was not clear who was the one who first created this magic.

But that person must have liked magic a lot, Ryner thought.

The power in Sion’s body gnawed at Ryner ceaselessly as he watched at the very interesting, new magic that was expanding in front of him.

The magic that he could not see was ceaselessly multiplying.

This magic’s name seemed to be called Human.

Then this Human continued, continued to multiply.

Human

Human

Human

As if expanding to fill the whole universe, this formation called Human was expanding.

But, they weren’t in this world.

They belonged in another universe.

They were multiplying ceaselessly in a different, unfamiliar universe, where Ryner, Sion and the Goddesses couldn’t interfere.

But, although they could not interfere, the other party’s power could bind Ryner.

Bind Sion.

Then,

"...Gu."

Sion’s pained moan was heard.

No, because Ryner was one with Sion, so the one who let out the sound was he himself.

So Ryner raised his head in Sion’s body.

"...Is it painful, Sion?"

He asked.

Then Sion replied.

"Give me power."

"Anyway, this magic is quite amazing..."

"Give me power."

"The person who created this magic must be very familiar with magic."

"Not enough. Give me more power. Enough power to deal with those people..."

But Ryner shook his head.

"You can’t, Sion. We can’t oppose this magic. You should know after using my power, right? Do you want to see again? Open your eyes. Open your eyes. Use my power."

So Sion opened his eyes.

Then Ryner gave his power to those eyes.

A tear shaped symbol appeared in those eyes, then they were able to see all equations in this world.

They were able to understand all the magic on this world.

They were able to give colour to this world, they were able to solve all equations.

But, using these eyes to see, still,

"...You can’t destroy this magic called Human."

Ryner said.

Then he examined Human again. But this magic, the more he looked at it, the more incomplete it felt.

But at the same time, the more he looked at it, the more complete it seemed.

Then it was multiplying.

It was multiplying without any limits.

The power to multiply was similar to that of the Goddess—no, the basic formula was most likely the same—but the reason for multiplying was completely different.

The center of this structure was completely different.

Anyway, when multiplying, something called «Love» was needed.

According to the equation of «Love», they were multiplying.

But this thing called «Love» was something he could not understand.

It was clearly so simple, pure, easily destroyed, but for unknown reasons, he was unable to find the foundation to solving this equation.

He only wanted to touch, destroy this equation.

Every time he wanted to touch and destroy this equation «Love», he would get an inner feedback of the equations such as «Joy», «Mad», «Sad», «Care» and «Despair».

In the end, he wasn’t able to analyse any of them.

He could touch the other party from this place.

So Ryner he,

"...This is really amazing..."

He sighed softly.

This equation called Human was too pretty, he couldn’t help but sigh in admiration.

But this was repeated,

"Give me power. I will destroy this magic."

Sion said.

But Ryner said.

"This magic? Destroy such a pretty magic..."

"Give me power..."

"That, I can give you power... you can also devour my power... but in the current situation, it can’t destroy this magic."

At this moment, Ferris spoke.

Behind Sion, the other half of Ryner spoke.

She used that emotionless face to look at him and said.

"...Why aren’t you moving?"

So Ryner looked at Ferris.

Of course, to her, she was unable to see Ryner. Because Ryner had basically merged with Sion, her eyes couldn’t see Ryner.

And the power of her eyes was near nil.

The power to see all equations was not left behind.

So she couldn’t see.

She couldn’t see how beautiful this magic was.

She couldn’t see the power the unlimited, numerous Human was producing in a world completely different from this world.

And with the multiplication of Human, Sion’s power was bounded even more tightly.

This magic traveled in his head.

This magic eroded his body.

The surroundings of Sion and Ryner who were almost one body, seemed to feel the impact from this Human.

No, this magic seemed to be a magic made for the removal of the Ryner—the Lonesome Demon’s power.

"..."

He looked in the direction of the Human.

No, as if searching for the creator of the Human, he opened his eyes.

But in the equation for Human, there was no such thing written.

No, in all magic, there would always be the inscription of the creator’s intentions and name, but he couldn’t see it.

So Ryner narrowed his eyes.

"...Unless, the target of that magic is me?"

He said.

"But why would the target be me? I have always been living alone, I don’t think anyone would know of my existence."

He said.

"Unless someone knew of my existence? They knew of my existence and they were waiting?"

He said, raising his head.

He looked at the sky that was no longer grey.

He looked at the world that was different from the world he had been trapped in, the outside world that was expanding outwards.

"...Then in the moment that I left, they used this magic... If that is the case, then I can understand why this magic: Human is so pretty. Because I completely can’t imagine that this kind of magic was an impromptu creation. At least, I can’t create it. But in this case, who is it? There should be no one who knows of me."

As he spoke, Ryner was losing his powers slowly. No, to be more accurate, the power that was used to interfere with the outside world was slowly flowing away.

So with Ryner as the center.

With his host, Sion as the center, a hole appeared around them.

With them as the center, a hole appeared in the middle of the world.

It was the same as the place that Ryner had dwelled in the past.

It was the same as the grey that had imprisoned Ryner.

With the increase of Human, the space continued to distort, contort and distort, then slowly it separated them from this world.

Ferris spoke.

She looked to this side and said.

"Our bodies are disappearing... What is happening?"

Following that, the Goddess known as the Goddess of Reincarnation, Milk Ephillet looked to them and said.

"...The Goddesses are using their magic to seal Sion in this place."

But towards this, Ryner laughed.

Looking in Milk’s direction.

Looking at Milk’s body.

Analysing all the equations making up Milk.

"... The magic of the Goddesses...? I don’t think that the race of the Goddess can wield this much power to perform such a large-scale magic... But if it’s like that, then who is the one who created this magic?"

He mumbled.

In this period of time, he was looking at Human.

He always was looking at Human.

Really, the more he looked at this magic, the more beautiful he thought it was.

If it was him who created it.

If he had to create a stronger, more pure magic, he would use such a beautiful structure.

If it was like that, it was as if...

It was as if...

"...It’s as if I created it..."

Ryner said.

He looked into the distance.

He looked into the distance to the magic called Human that was used by someone.

Human had been born from the Goddesses’ powers.

Using all of the Goddesses’ powers, they had been born.

If this magic really was created by the Goddesses, then there was a possibility that there was a person who was excellent at magic and well-versed in it among the Goddesses.

An existence that was able to rival Ryner.

Possibly, a person who was able to surpass him and be more well-versed in magic.

But if that was like that now.

And if there was such a person standing on the Goddess' side

"I want to see him."

He said.

"When can I see him."

He said softly.

In this period of time, the power of Human was slowly, slowly binding him.

Binding Sion.

Sion was already in a situation where he couldn’t talk.

Milk looked at him

"Ah ah~ In the end they lost."

She used a slightly disappointed voice to say.

But Sion was unable to respond. That was how strong the binding of the Human was.

Their vision slowly started to darken.

This sealing was stronger than the previous one.

It was a place darker, darker, darker than grey, it imprisoned Sion, Ryner, and Ferris.

But even so,

"..."

Ryner still smiled.

A faint smile appeared on his face.

Although no one could see him smiling.

Although he no longer had a physical body, he was only ceaselessly devoured by Sion’s body, no one could see his smile, but he was still smiling.

Because he was no longer by himself.

Because this time, he wasn’t alone.

Because even if he was trapped in a place this time, he wasn’t alone.

He had a friend by his side.

Sion was by his side.

So,

"...Haha"

He laughed.

Then he looked at the darkness bearing down on his surroundings. He looked at the seal. He had not found a way to solve it. He had not found a way to destroy Human.

But,

"...I will find it"

He said.

"So Sion. Rest assured and enter the darkness."

He said.

"Then go and see him. Go to the person who created this magic. Go the person who created such a beautiful magic."

At this moment, everything was covered in darkness.

This seal was more cruel than he had thought.

This prison was too harsh.

There was no sound.

There was no scenery.

Even his body could not move.

Then the fear in Sion’s heart was passed on to him.

Sion who only wanted to destroy, was trembling in fear.

But Ryner still smiled and said.

"Don’t worry. It’ll be alright. I’ll be by your side."

"..."

"I will protect you. I will be by your side. Because you are my benefactor who helped me. Because you are my friend who saved me. So I will find a way out of this. I will find the way to attack and destroy Human and escape from this place."

"..."

"Then we’ll go to the person who created Human. I wonder what kind of person he or she is? I really want to see that person."

"..."

"Then, you’ll definitely say this. When you see that person you’ll definitely say this. Something around the lines of destroying him or her. Wanting to destroy that person. Because you have only been thinking of this. But I will follow you. I will follow your wishes. Because I like you."

"..."

Just like that, Ryner continued to talk ceaselessly.

He continued to talk to Sion, who felt fearful.

But Sion didn’t reply.

Bu even so, that was fine.

Because he was no longer alone, he didn’t feel lonely.

So Ryner didn’t stop talking to his friend.

"I’m sorry. I’m sorry, Sion."

"..."

"I’m sorry I spent such a long time. Really, how long have we spent in here? A thousand years, or two thousand. But because the both of us are here, so it’s not lonely. At least I’m happy to be with you, I’m happy."

"..."

"I’m almost there. I can almost find the method to counter this. Just, give me some time..."

"..."

"...Probably, that’s Love. That part about Love is the most important. Sion thinks so too, right? Love is the most important. But I don’t know what Love is, I don’t know what exactly this thing Love is, so I have not been able to master it."

"..."

"But if it’s like this, then what do I do? The feeling of liking you is not until the stage where Love can be felt... If it’s like that, what do I do. How should I destroy Human. There is no Love in my body. There is no Love in your body too. If it’s like that, what do we do."

"..."

"What should we do to create Love?"

"..."

"How can I, who only knows loneliness and you who only knows destruction, create Love, what do we do?"

Then Sion looked to him.

No, in actuality, he did not turn his face. Because Ryner was in Sion’s body, so Sion could not turn to look at Ryner.

But Sion’s consciousness turned to him.

There was no expression.

Just, seeing a slightly lonely face.

Ryner looked at him.

Then asked.

"...Are you angry?"

"..."

"Because I completely can’t find a method to get out of here, so you are almost going to get angry?"

At the time he asked this, Sion suddenly replied him.

"...No. I just feel that it is good to have you by my side. Because if you were not here, I might have gone mad."

Ryner looked at Sion and then laughed in embarrassment.

"That’s really..."

He said.

"I’m happy."

He said.

Although Sion didn’t react, but Ryner still laughed happily, then he started to analyse again.

He started to analyse Human.

How long had he spent on that, he was not clear.

How long had he spent there, he could not remember.

Although he was not clear, but Ryner spoke.

"...Hey, Sion."

"Wu?"

"I have decided to give up on destroying this thing called Human."

"Then what do we do?"

"I am going to make something that will link Human together."

"..."

"Create a medium using Love that will link with Human, basically this will an eroding kind of magic."

"..."

"And although we don’t have this thing called Love, but this magic will have Love."

"..."

"And then it will cry as it erodes the enemy. Although Human is a beautiful magic, the magic that we will create will be very sad."

"...Can you make that already?"

"Eh."

"Then, let’s begin."

"You won’t regret?"

"Regret?"

"Eh."

"Why would I regret? I want to leave here, I want to destroy everything."

"Ha ha, there’s still that."

"I want to destroy everything."

"Destruction. But, although you say that now, you will regret it."

"..."

"Because this magic is too sad, so you will regret it."

"..."

"Because this magic is too lonely, so you will regret it."

"..."

"Because even we will be affected by this magic."

"..."

"We will be infected with Love. Not only Human, even we will be infected with it."

"..."

"Even so, you won’t regret it?"

Ryner said.

Then Sion replied.

"I cannot understand what you are saying."

"Ahaha."

"So create that magic."

"Eh."

"Create that magic that will be able to rip apart this world."

"Eh. Alright. Then you and I will both regret this together."

"..."

"We will regret this from the bottom of our hearts."

"..."

"Until today, we do not have feelings so we can tolerate it, because we didn’t know what Love was so we could tolerate it... But after today, it will be different."

"..."

"But, this might be good too. Becoming the first gods to know what Love is, let the two of us crumble. But this might be good too. As long as it’s not one person only."

"..."

"Then, I’m starting. I’m going to activate the magic."

"Ah ah."

"I understand. Then, expanding the magic. Combining our powers—use a magic that can erode Human, no, can erode everything in this world."

Saying this, Ryner activated the magic.

It was complicated.

It was pure.

It was simple.

Then it gave birth to a magic that was so tender that it was sad.

That magic’s name was.

No, his name was—Human α.

There was only one created.

There was only one person created.

Even though all of Sion and Ryner’s powers had been created, there was only one Human who had the power of α.

But inside it, was Love.

There was a larger Love than what Human possessed injected in it.

Then this Love started to spread.

It was as if it eroded the people it touched.

It was as if it eroded the people connected to him.

It was as if it made the people around him mad, that Love started to spread.

So this Human α was born.

He was born in this universe that was filled with Humans.

But the darkness wasn’t cleared completely.

The darkness sealing Sion wasn’t cleared completely.

So Sion said.

"...What is it?"

Then Ryner replied.

"Quickly."

"..."

"He will quickly—Human α—will dominate that world."

He said.

Looking at the sky.

He looked at the sky.

He was only a baby who had just been born and was still drinking milk, but he was no longer crying.

He only looked at the sky dazedly.

"...What a strange child."

A woman who seemed to be the mother said.

He didn’t know why he could understand what this woman was saying. So he opened his mouth. He wanted to say something.

But,

"Ah—Wu—"

He could only release that kind of sound.

Mother looked at him tenderly again.

"Ahaha, you’re complaining that you were called a strange child?"

"Ah—Ah—"

"Ah ah, really, how adorable~"

Then he was kissed.

In that moment, something in the woman’s heart changed. From his own body, something started to infect the woman’s body, changing her equation.

At this moment, a man spoke. It was a young man who seemed to be around the same age as mother.

This person seemed to be his father. That man was peeking at him. Father, too, was immediately infected.

"Ah, has he awoken? But this fellow completely doesn’t cry."

Mother’s eyebrows creased slightly,

"Really, don’t call him that."

"Ah, sorry. Then what do we call him?"

"Baby."

"We can’t call him baby forever. We have to come up with a name for him quickly too."

Father said.

"...I didn’t think we would have triplets... I only thought of a name for one person."

"Ai, is that so?"

"Eh."

"What name is it?"

"The baby boy will be called Ryner."

"Then the girl?"

"Ferris."

"Wu~ rarely heard names. Is there any reason?"

"...Ai? That, something like I thought about it suddenly?"

"Ai—Ma, that’s fine. Then let’s use those names for the first two that were born."

"Is that alright?"

"Because those are the names you came up with, the children will definitely be happy with them."

"Aha, is that so?"

"Ah ah."

"But if it’s like that, then what about this child? This child’s name will be picked by you."

Mother said this, then Father revealed a troubled expression.

"I’m not very good at this."

"Quickly."

"Give me a night."

"Come on~"

She said.

Then the Father looked towards this side, he looked tenderly towards this side.

"Then, call him Sion."

"Sion?"

"Ah ah."

"Does it mean anything?"

"I suddenly thought of it?"

"Really~"

But this was also completely planned for.

It had been planned so that Love could be used.

The child called Sion that was drinking milk looked to his side.

On his right was a black haired boy.

On his left was a blond girl.

These two were crying noisily, they were extremely noisy.

Noisy.

Although they were noisy, but he didn’t know why but he felt that those voices were very warm.

He felt that those cries filled up the loneliness in his heart. So he,

"Ah—"

Laughed too.

He laughed happily.

He laughed innocently.

Then from the bodies of his siblings.

From the parents in front of him, he felt something like Love.

He felt Love blossom in his heart.

"..."

In this moment, he felt that his memories were rapidly receding. He became unable to understand what his parents were saying.

He only wanted to shout.

He was here.

He was born here.

He had Love.

He had a strong Love, as if wanting to announce that he had been born here, he cried.

Just like that, Human α appeared in the Human world.
