Chapter 21 - Chapter 21: Illusion of memory (2)

The huge shock caused Chiaki to gradually lose control, her eyes widening and then she continued to perform strange movements as if she was no longer a normal human. A few seconds later, Chiaki flew up, or rather, her body was floating in the air. Then right after, from Chiaki's body let out a thick black aura. Large black "arms" also gradually appeared from the magic circles around her and devastated the trees and the surroundings.

-Chiaki! Stop it, it's me, it's your father.- The man stepped in front of Chiaki

-B .... daddy ... daddy?

-That's me.

If the common sense would be afraid of pale in this case, but he is different. The satisfyingly savage smile still hasn't changed at all, even when my daughter became like that.

-T ... t .... why ... why ... why .... mom .... why !?

The stream of dark magic surrounding Chiaki became increasingly unstable. She held out her left hand, those "arms" also began to attack continuously at the other man. Smoke and dust flew away from the sky, leaving me unable to see what was happening at the time. But in the blink of an eye, a swirling wind created by dark magic gathered and radiated. On the ground right now, Chiaki was lying still on the ground for herself to flatten. The man and the body of Chiaki both disappeared for unknown reasons, but one thing I am sure was not by Chiaki. After a while Chiaki regained consciousness, but this time she returned to normal, though she herself did not remember anything that had just happened, including the death of her mother. Afterwards, Chiaki returned home to find that from the note left on the table, "I have a job and it takes a while to get back." This paper, which was originally impossible to exist, is now lying on the table, but this proves that the man survived Chiaki's attack and took Chiaki's mother as well as left the paper. This fake message. But Chiaki immediately believed in that. The next morning, she still came to school on her own, faced with disdain and bad words about herself as usual, only that this "always" just didn't last. On that afternoon, Chiaki was bunched up and beaten again.

-Well! Come on! Show me the results of your training, rubbish. Don't worry, there's nobody around.

Although he was beaten very hard, he still kept his face down and silent.

-Well! So let me do it first!

The boy who led the bullets shot a fireball towards Chiaki. But with the instant of being blocked by the dark "arm" that appeared from the magic circle.

-What ... what the hell is this?

-The Black Mage! It's the dark magician! - but the bully screamed and started running away in fear

Chiaki herself was also surprised and scared because of her "arm." Immediately after, the extended "arm" turned into a sword and slashed at the bullies. The loud screams made the students and the teachers come running. The sight of gore made everyone misunderstand Chiaki. But the magic that fired at Chiaki was repeatedly blocked by the "arms".

-Stop it. This is not by me. Stop...

-Shut up! Damn black magician, as expected of you like your father. See what you did. Die!

At that time, looking at the corpses before him reminded Chiaki of what happened yesterday. Chiaki shouted, that unstable dark energy was released again, but this time it was much bigger than the previous one. Immediately afterwards, a large explosion erupted and the main reason was due to Chiaki's unstable magic power. After fainting from the explosion, I am now standing in the middle of a place that can be said to be infinite space, because my surroundings are outside of white light. "Am I dead?" That was the first question that crossed my mind when I saw my surroundings like this. Then he smiled faintly and guessed that he was dreaming about something. "Phew" I sighed, sat down in this endless place. I was sitting relaxed with my body when I raised my face and opened my eyes to see someone face down next to me.

-Oh! - I was startled and immediately jumped forward

-A, sorry for scaring you. -That girl apologized to me

-I'm ...

That face, I immediately realized it was Chiaki, only she was wearing a dress just like her soul at that time, it was black and white and transparent. "Well, it's probably Chiaki over there," I thought, though not quite sure.

-.... Chiaki right?

-Yes! - Her bright, cheerful smile was the complete opposite of what I just saw

-So ... those memories .... are they real?

Speaking of which, Chiaki's expression completely changed to sadness, maybe this was a mistake when I mentioned this. But soon, she smiled.

-Yes! Everything is true.

- Can you tell me why this is going on? Why do those kids bully me and why do people hate me so much?

-Well ... where to start ... it all came from my father being arrested by the royal knights because they suspected he was a black magician. Well .... they got the right person after all.

-Em .... don't you feel sad? - for some reason I accidentally asked such an ungainly question

-Yes ... but it's been 20 years since then so I decided to let it go.

-Two .... twenty years!? - I grinned when I heard that number

-Yes. - Chiaki covered her mouth to stop laughing when she saw me stiffening

-Chul! - I scratched my head and clicked my tongue, reluctant to understand that the "little girl" in front of me if I was alive would probably be around 30 years old- Well wait, why don't the adults in the village know about this?

-Because I didn't live in this area, due to the large magic power of "that part", this school was often moved around wildly.

-Really.

The "other part" here that Chiaki mentioned was definitely the dark soul we had met before. When I mentioned it before, I remembered my friends.

-So you know where the rest are? How are they?

-You don't worry, I took them out safely.

-Really. Thank you.

-Yes! So we say goodbye from here.

I just nodded in response to Chiaki's sentence. Chiaki then clapped her hands together as if praying, a blue light appeared below my feet, this was probably a teleportation spell.

-Drilled ....

Right before I was teleported, I remembered something I should have asked in the first place, but it was too late. Opening his eyes, he found himself and everyone lying in the middle of the forest, now it was morning and the school disappeared like it never existed. On the way home, I asked the rest to see what they thought of Chiaki's memories, but all 4 of them said that they had fallen asleep right after the deafening scream and when they woke up, they were outside. This made me even more confused as to why only I could see those memories.
