Chapter 78: Time of Farewell

I run up to Dy who continues to pour his magic power while oozing with sweat.

The cracks on the crystal didn’t disappear, it seems to be spreading instead.

[Kuh, WHY!]

Despite Dy pouring in a lot of his magic power, it only ends up leaking towards the lake water from the vicinity.

Is it alright to pour it in like that? I check Dy’s status.

EEH!? This guy is converting his HP into MP and is pouring it in just because his MP is gone!?

I hurriedly grab Dy’s hand and did MP Transfer.

[Dy, you’re being too reckless!]

Dy doesn’t seem to have any leisure to crack jokes with me and he simply just won’t stop pouring in his magic power.

The cracks on the crystal spread with time, it made a particular snapping sound and finally broke.

[Ah!]

[….Guh!!]

The fragments that flew dissolved midair and disappeared while drawing a parabola.

Dy touches and supports his younger brother’s body up, but it remains limp and doesn’t move.

Wondering if there’s something I can do, I also try to check the younger brother’s condition.

I can see while observing from the side that his MP is decreasing without performing any magic. Because my and Dy’s magic power are useless… That’s right!

Struck with an idea, I try dripping the beauty lotion I received from Ciel’s father on his skin. Ah, for a moment, he twitched!

[Lend me that.]

When Dy flips over the bottle on Duirio, a little bit of warmth returned to the freezing cold fingers and the pale lips begin to redden.

The effect of the beauty lotion to recover magic that father worked on was really amazing!

The jamming spell that the assassin fired before, too, probably didn’t work because of it.

We trusted on its effectiveness and waited for him to wake up. The long eyelashes tremble and we attentively watch his amethyst eyes to become visible.

Dy’s lips tremble and with trembling voice, he called out.

[…Rio?]

[Nii… sa…]
(TN: He wanted to say “Nii-san”)

[Rio!]

We certainly heard the hoarse voice. Dy is overcome with emotion and hugs his thin body.

[Rio, Rio… Y, your soul got connected to your body at last, Rio!]

[My soul… has always, been, here… that’s why… Nii-san, pouring your magic power, for how many tens of years, to me… I remember.]

[You don’t need to force yourself to talk.]

[No… Listen.]

Duirio who has much purer eyes than Dy continued to speak arduously while furrowing his brows in pain.

[This state, is only temporary… I will soon, disappear.]

[What did you say!?]

Is it still fruitless even though Dy worked this hard!?

I shouted without thinking, but Dy was even more indignant.

[Don’t say something stupid! I will do something about it, I definitely won’t let Rio die!! Wasn’t it the same until now? That’s why, it’s also the same from now on.]

[Stop being tied to me already.]

Duirio interrupted Dy’s words as if covering over it.

Duirio is wearing a clear expression despite oozing tiredness towards Dy’s exposed shock and despair.

[I am, already dead. Even if I have a body, since my magic vessel is broken…  I can’t live. Even Nii-san, knows, right?]

[I don’t know. I don’t want to know! Such a thing, I won’t accept it!]

Even though his magic power keeps flowing out between his words, despite sending all of my tremendous magic power to him through Dy, Duirio’s body is becoming transparent like the crystal.

[Rei! Please give me all the lotion that you used just now!!]

[This is everything!]

He sprinkled over the specifically customized body lotion all at once, but Duirio’s transparency doesn’t stop.

A second miracle seemed unlikely to occur, so it looked as if Duirio’s body would lose its life force from the start.

[Nii-san is… Even though you’re so smart, you’re so stupid, when it comes to things like this. Fufu….]

Looking at his little brother’s expression that has accepted everything, Dy unresignedly  twisted his face in a gloomy manner.

While entrusting his powerless body to such an older brother, his composed amethyst eyes find me and curiously flickers.

[You’re, the child who is… Nii-san’s recent food provider.]
(TN: I really don’t know what other words to use.)

I thought, ‘No wait, what is that way of remembering?’, but I read the atmosphere and my grumbling stops in my mind.

It appears that my complicated thoughts was showing in my face, Duirio faintly smiled.

[Ever since he’s with you, his magic power became delicious… Most importantly, Nii-san laughs a lot… I could feel it when he passed his magic power, so far… he’s been having fun, and satisfied…]

Even the weight of his body finally disappeared and he floats upwards. Dy stretched his hand towards the sky as if to stop him.

[…It looks like, Nii-san is the happiest, when he’s with you… That’s why, Rei… please be with Nii-san… It’s the last request, from… me…]

With a pure smile without even a bit of haziness, Duirio disappears into the air.

[Rio! Don’t go! Rio!]

[Nii-, sa… Tha… you,…]

[RIOOO!!!]

At the same time as Duirio’s body’s disappearance, the little amount left of the crystal pillar fused to the world without a sound.

The short-lived fairy-tale like scenery transformed into a mere beautiful lake as if nothing happened.

I couldn’t say anything as I stare at Dy’s back. Only his name came out.

[Dy…]

Dy allows his black hair that’s tied up together to hang in the air and expressionlessly murmured while still looking at his now empty chest.

[Sorry…. for a moment, let me rest.]

And then, he disappeared without looking back.
