Inside the room, you could see Nepheria putting the data crystal inside a socket on the table in front of her, and there she saw Vernon's face on the screen that the data crystal projected.
"Hello, is this on?" Vernon said as he tapped the mana crystal, making a ripple in the projection that Nepheria is watching as he looked at Nathalia, who holds the data crystal, who is trying to create a video for Nepheria.
"It's on, brother" Nathalia said as she steadied the data crystal in her hands, making sure that the video that they are creating does not shake. As she looked at Vernon, she gave him a thumbs up, saying that everything was ready.
"Ah, is that so then? Welcome ladies and gentlemen, your greatest magus has appeared. For today's special, I, Vernon the Grand Magus of the Never-ending Tower, shall tell you a story, a story so old, even older than the reality we lived in, a story that built this Grand Magus in front of you. In my own interpretation of the story, especially for you, Nepheria, I want you to listen to it carefully and engrave it in your memories" Vernon said in a grandiose manner that he wanted Nepheria to watch it intently, and it succeeded because his saying Nepheria's name made Nepheria even more focused as she listened to Vernon. All of a sudden, the background that Vernon is currently in suddenly changed to that of an endless field of white flowers.
"Once upon a time, in a land far away, there was a field of endless white flowers. In the heart of this field stood a magnificent white tree, its leaves glistening like the very flowers that surrounded it. It was said that this tree held a secret—a power that could bring together souls destined to find one another.
In a small village nearby, there lived a blindfolded woman. She was known for her kind heart and her love for the beauty of the world, despite never having seen it. The blindfolded woman's world was filled with the songs of birds, the rustling of leaves, and the fragrances of the wildflowers that grew around her home.
One fateful day, as the sun bathed the white field in golden light, the blindfolded woman felt an inexplicable pull. She followed her heart, guided only by the whispers of the wind and the warmth of the earth beneath her feet. Deeper and deeper she ventured, until she stood at the foot of the white tree.
There, amidst the sea of flowers, stood a woman in a delicate veil, her presence as ethereal as the morning mist. The woman moved with a grace that seemed to mirror the dance of the petals around her. She too felt the mysterious connection, as if a thread of destiny had woven itself between them.
The blindfolded woman watched, captivated, as the woman in the veil moved through the field. The sightless eyes of her heart saw the beauty that surrounded them, and in the woman's every step, she sensed a melody that resonated within her soul.
Days turned into weeks, and still, the blindfolded woman watched. She longed to know the face beneath the veil, to trace the lines of the woman's smile with her fingertips. And then, as if the universe had heard her silent plea, the woman in the veil turned and looked directly at the blindfolded woman.
In that moment, time seemed to stand still. Their gazes locked, and a shared recognition passed between them. It was a connection that transcended sight and touched the deepest part of their beings.
As a token of this extraordinary encounter, the woman in the veil gently plucked a bouquet of white flowers from the very branches of the tree and placed it in the blindfolded woman's hands. The fragrance of the blossoms filled the air, and the blindfolded woman felt the weight of the world lift from her heart. She would no longer watch from afar. For now, she would stand by the side of the woman she had come to love.
From that day forward, the blindfolded woman and the woman in the veil became inseparable. They danced together in the field of white flowers, their spirits entwined like the branches of the white tree. Through laughter and tears, they discovered the truest form of love—a love that required no words, no sight, only the silent language of existence" Vernon said as the changing scenery in the background returned to normal.
"And that's all. What do you think? Isn't it beautiful?" Vernon said as he looked at the data crystal, like looking at Nepheria himself, who is currently watching as Nepheria felt this.
"Grand Magus, it's time" The man who just entered the room said that it's time. Nepheria doesn't know what it is, but it should be important that Vernon even need to go.
"Eh~~ It's time already. Oh well, take care, Nepheria and Nathalia. I don't know if I'm still alive when you see this, but thank you for everything. I'm grateful to have 2 beautiful little sisters" Vernon said as he waved at the data crystal as it suddenly turned black. To Nepheria, it was like the final words of his brother.
"Hick, hick, that buffoon, how dare he act so carefree despite disappearing from everyone's memories" Nepheria said as tears fell down her cheeks. She was saddened by the fact that even these memories would disappear in the future.
"There, there, drink this. It should calm you down" Nathalia said as she gave Nepheria a water that had the effect of calming a person. Nepheria took it and drank it all, as she suddenly felt calm.
"Thank you, big sister" Nepheria said as she looked at Nathalia, who looked at her with a worried eye. She understood that Nathalia was too saddened to see Vernon so energetic again, but right now she will do what is necessary to at least comfort Nepheria.
"Hmm?" Nepheria said as she looked to where she put the book as she felt a breath in there. As she turned around, she was shocked to see that the book was changing.
"What the hell is the book transforming into.. a. human?" Nepheria said as the book turned more humanoid until it became human. It was a naked female human with white hair and yellow eyes sitting at the top of the table.
"Ahh, good afternoon, ladies, my name is Eve" Eve said as she looked at the surprised Nepheria and Nathalia in front of her.
