â⊠I didnât think that there will be a day that I can come outâ (???)
A girl who looks exactly like me, but sheâs gently laughing, unlike myself. I know this smile. I have seen it. A smile that thinks of someone. It was a gentle smile like Kuzuha-chanâs mother. The girl is sitting on the desk. For now, I will talk to her.
âAre you Cyril?â (Arge) (ă·ăȘă«: Shiriru) âI am Cyril, and Iâm not Cyril. Iâm a closest existence to Cyril but in the end, Iâm not Cyril.â (???) âWell, that means you are a Tail hair-san?â (Arge) (ć°»æŻăă: Shirige-san) âHow did you come up with that!?â (???)
Maybe I shouldnât do that. Although I didnât understand this story, I just followed up. Her face is distorts that looks exactly like me and she clears her throat so as to correct his mind.
âIâm Cyrilâs Note , you can call me Cyrilnote, please stop with the âTailâ thing.â (Cyrilnote) âOkay, Cyrilnoteâ (Arge)
When Iâm calling her name, Cyrilnote gave me a smile. Her face very similar to me, but the way of talking and atmosphere is completely different. If she says that she is the closeest existence to Cyril, then Cyril and I will be different person. And while I still wondering, her next words confirm my thought.
âAnyway, what are you doing here? you look like Cyril, but a different personâ (Cyrilnote) ââŠSo after all, we are different?â (Arge) âWell, you are different. Your hair and eyes donât have the same color. You donât cry like her. Your magical powers are similar, but the vector is the opposite.â (Cyrilnote) âVector âŠ?â (Arge) âPut it simple, you are like Cyril, but thatâs it.â (Cyril) â⊠Only that, whatâs with that?â (Arge) âItâs just that. If youâre worried, try listening to that Dark Elf later, as it is my time now, you can only do it afterwardsâ (Cyrilnote)
As she told me, I turn around, Richelle isnât there. There must be some trick. However, there are still things that I am concerned about so I must ask her everything. Looking at Cyrilnote again, she is descending from the desk.
âWell, my only role is to inform those who opened Cyrilâs note that Cyril left behind, Cyril herself must have had a person in mind she want to open it ⊠that girl right now seems like blind.â (Cyrilnote)
Cyrilnote seems sad as she says so. I guess that girl she talking about is Igu Jisuta-san. A spirit of the big safe that believes I am Cyril, she is gorgeous and stubborn. Cyrilnote started to talk again.
âWell, I can understand her feelings.The person she love is absent for centyries, and she have made coins by herself and kept counting. It canât be helped that she became like thatâ (Cyrilnote) âCyrilnote, have you died?â (Arge) âWell, I donât know about that, I am the same as Igu Jisuta, I only know about what golems here saw and heard. But if Cyril is alive, there is no way she will not return here.â (Cyrilnote)
Cyrilnote keep on talking while looking as if to check in the library.
âWell, since you seem to want to know about Cyril, letâs talk about her, Cyril was originally under the supervision of a certain person. That person was her master and the one she loved more than anyone.â (Cyrilnote) ââŠâ (Arge) âThat person said that she came from another world and she teach Cyril about the machineâ (Cyrilnote) âAnother world âŠâ (Arge) âI donât know if itâs true or not, because what Iâm talking about are the records that Cyril left behind.â (Cyrilnote)
If that friend is really from another world, then thereâs no mistake about it. I always thought the word âmachineâ was strange with this world civilization, that friend of her must be the one brought it to this world.
âCyril and her master had one dream, to unify the currency of this world, it is easy to say, but it wasnât that simpleâ (Cyrilnote) â⊠that would be the caseâ (Arge)
It is impossible to unify money into one. No country want to change their currency to other countryâs one. And if there is only one kind of money means that the economy collapses the moment that money becomes worthless.
âYeah, it was not easy, but that is the only dream they share. After her masterâs death, Cyril never once lose her passion. She make the greatest grave for her master with knowledge from another world she once heard, the pyramid. She build this bomb to let her master have a peaceful rest and it also to realize their dreamâ (Cyrilnote) âTo that extentâ (Arge) âYeah, she has that much thought.â (Cyrilnote)
Thoughts, dreams, living worth. It seems that Cyril had everything. As I thought, she and I are different people. She is different from someone like me that think everything is troublesome and donât want to work. I have no passion and love like Cyril.
âAnd then Cyril create the artificial spirit to comfort her, that was Igu jisuta, imitated her best friend, Igu Jii (ă€ă°ăžăŁ).â (Cyrilnote) âImitate? then Cyril is âŠâ (Arge) âYes, as Cyril is lonely, so she make Igu Jisuta as a replacement of her close friends ⊠at first.â (Cyrilnote) âAt first?â (Arge) âYeah, Cyril was change, Igu Jisuta and Igu Jii are different. While Cyril live together with her, Cyril noticed that.â (Cyrilnote) âAh âŠâ (Arge) âThatâs why she began to see Igu Jisuta as a different friend, not Igu Jii.â (Cyrilnote)
It was just like a personnel affair, but Cyrilnote is shyly smiled. Sheâs turning around, holding the pen lined up on the desk, and she keeps talking.
âCyril from then respected the behavior and intentions of Igu Jisuta and made her grow up. Cyril cherish her as another important friend.â (Cyrilnote) â⊠Cyril cherish Igu Jisuta-san ?â (Arge)
I remember something similar that Igu Jisuta-san told me. Thereâs no doubt that she think Cyril is important. Enough to blindly believe in that another person that look like her. She had been waiting for centuries after all.
âYes, thatâs right. If Cyril is still alive, thereâs no way she isnât come back. Cyril thinks of Igu Jisuta as an important friend and also has affection for her. This place has someone she cherish, this place is also the place she realize her dream. Even if she gonne die soon, she will return to her best friendâs grave and rest togetherâ (Cyrilnote) â⊠then Cyril isâ (Arge) âWell, she must be long dead, itâs already centuries and Cyril was just a human being.â (Cyrilnote) ââŠâ (Arge) âYou have nothing to do with her, but if you feel something for her then ⊠Well, will you let that idiot awake?â (Cyrilnote)
Smile somewhat sad, Cyrilnote stroked my head. Her gentle touch feel like a mean to say goodbye. The girl with a face that looks exactly like me turned round like try to hiding her face.
âItâs a hassle, but Iâd be happy if you help her. Iâm a bit sad to keep watching her like this.â (Cyrilnote) âI understandâ (Arge)
Iâm surprise at myself that I accept her request without thinking.. Even if help her, I will not have any benefit. Even I know that, I still accept it.
Cyrilnote after hearing my words, gently smiled. A gentle smile when she thinks of someone, the same as I first saw. I keeps staring at her for a while, and my shoulder was tapped.
âArge-sama, are you okay?â (Richelle) ââŠUmmâ (Arge)
The moment I heard Richelle-sanâs voice, I found myself sleeping on the desk. I feel like I woke up from my dream, when Iâm looking at Cyrilâs diary again, Cyrilâs diary have become blurred. I do not know the meaning of blurred letters.
âDream ⊠No, I guess it is something like a dreamâ (Arge) âHave you fallen asleep, did I wake you up âŠ? Iâm Sorryâ (Richelle) âNo. It was just fine.â (Arge)
Itâs like timing was measured, perhaps Cyrilnote has done something about it. While recalling what I was told, I ask the dark elf girl.
âRichelle-san, do you think that my figure looked like someone, and did it relate to anything?â (Arge) â⊠Relationship, is it?â (Richelle)
Richelle-san put her index finger to her cheek and gestured like pondering. Her blonde hair are swaying as she turn back and forth. After pondering for a few minutes, she told me.
âVampires are the existence of high concentration magical power that acquired a will. In other words, if you provide an enormous magic enough to enrich the magical power in the atmosphere, the vampire will be born, with the form of most likely the owner of that magical powerâ (Richelle) â⊠Well then what if I look like someone?â (Arge) âThe environment in which Arge-sama is born is not natural, it is artificially born.â (Richelle) â⊠thatâs all?â (Arge) âYes, thatâs it, you will inherit to some extent the quality of magical powers like genetics, but you are a different person.â (Richelle)
I wish Richelle-san had told me about this sooner but Richelle knows only my words. I didnât properly explain to her what kind of circumstances I had so far. So unless, I ask her about it, she would not tell me about it. This is the trouble of having a different language. And I understand that it canât be help.
The land where I was born is a place where there was a massive battle in the past. It was a lonely place that turned into ruins. Maybe the magic power that was once used in that place was by Cyril. And her magical power must be strongest compare to other. And that why I have the same her magic power and appearance as her. That must be it. With that in mind, I got up from the chair.
â⊠Well then, shall we go?â (Arge) âIs it alright?â (Richelle) âYes, I already knew what I needed to know.â (Arge)
Even I still havenât checked everything was written here, I already know what I have to know and what I want to know. I donât need to uncover these memories any further. Thereâs someone who should know about the memories here more than me. In order to fulfill what I promised, I left the hidden room.\n<figure class="wp-caption alignnone" data-shortcode="caption" id="attachment_21879" style="width: 850px"><figcaption class="wp-caption-text"> [Next]</figcaption></figure>
