──Suddenly, I woke up.
Before, I woke up in the middle of the night and practiced with my master by that river.
That habit hasn't gone away yet. Since she had already woken up, I went out of the house, trying not to wake up her father and mother.
I didn't have any purpose, but I came here again.
The moonlight shines in the dazzling night sky, the night sky is reflected on the water surface, and as the water surface sways, a peaceful moment passes beautifully before your eyes.
Previously, my master would have been standing here in front of me, quietly watching the flow of the river and waiting for me.
I think I endured that training well. I worked hard for about a year, enduring stomach pain and physical pain.
It was only when my master taught me that I realized that this world was an otherworldly fantasy world, full of magic.
masterHe saysrockWell, it seems my sense of magic is pretty good. Since I'm not good at physical arts, I'm honestly glad that my magic was pretty good.
However, there is something that bothers me.
Why doesn't the Empire teach magic at the lower level of education?
Is it because it's difficult to use magic?
Hmm, I feel like I should have taught them from a young age. At what stage of education do you intend to teach it?
Other mysteries remain. I wonder why my master suddenly disappeared. Maybe I wasn't good enough as a disciple...
Or did he defect to a country beyond this river?
do not know anything. didn't let me know.
In the end, I wasn't taught anything other than magic.
There was a lot of information I wanted to ask, but I was completely ignored and couldn't get it.
...However, during the last training session the day before, my master suddenly disappeared.StandingTatazMai felt different than usual.
Even someone like me who is insensitive can understand it. I could understand without saying anything that he was going to tell me something important.
The last lesson...it really stuck with me.
No, I can't say that it left a lasting impression on my heart.
A heart that becomes traumatic enough to leave a scar in the heartGougeEguWords that make you feel trapped.
"...Let me tell you something.Listen, your desire to know everything is your charm and can be called a virtue.But at the same time, it is a big, sharp double-edged sword that will stay with you for the rest of your life. It is the sword of Curiosity. Curiosity destroys oneself without one's knowledge. Without realizing that one is trapped in its depths, one slowly and slowly sinks. Only one has the power to do so. Now, I've reached the point where I can't go back. Sometimes people justify their cruelty for the sake of the unknown. They give reasons to their cruel deeds.''
"…ask your own curiosity. Is it… something you really need to know?"
"Is that what you really need to know now?"
"Is that something you have to learn even if you have to lose something?"
──I shudder as I remember my master's words.
What does that word mean?
Why are you so afraid?
There was a famous proverb in the previous world, "Curiosity kills the cat", but it wasn't that simple.
... Those are probably the words of a person with darkness in his heart. Otherwise, there's nothing to worry about just with words.
It's my first experience in my life. Including the previous world.
My master did not say, ``Don't try to know what you don't know.''
I guess he wanted to convey that "even if you try to know, there are things you shouldn't know."
...Let's go home. Tomorrow is too early, I have to go home and sleep. When I come here at this time, I think about things I wanted to know but didn't know.
But...out of all the questions I have, that's probably the one I shouldn't know the most.
"Master, what are you?
