Ur lovingly stroked Sam's tear-streaked cheek.
"I love you as a teacher, as a family member, and as a woman," he said.
Taking her hand in his, Sam did his best to hold back the tears that were threatening to spill.
"I was so happy to meet you, Sam. I loved her so much that I wanted to have her child if I could. If I had known earlier that I had so much time left, I would have sought you out without hesitation."
"...... ur ...... me, too, ur."
"I knew. But I was a coward and pretended not to notice. I thought that Sam didn't deserve a woman who would one day be gone."
Tears finally spilled.
Once they break down, the tears don't stop.
"No, it's not like that. Ur is everything to me. Without Ur, I'm... I'm... I'm... ......
Sam's tears wet his cheeks and Ur's hands.
"Don't cry, Sam. We met when we were little, and now you're a grown man. You've grown up. I'm more than happy to see you like this. But I have unfinished business."
What's left to do?
I want Sam to inherit everything I have.
Sam nodded at his master's words.
"Yes. I wish I could have inherited all of Ur.
If I had more time, I could have mastered her techniques.
Sam knew that one day he would learn her accumulated magical skills and become a great wizard.
He had never dreamed that illness would interfere with that.
"No, no. No, that's not it. I mean exactly what I mean. I want you to inherit everything I have."
But I don't see how that's possible.
"If I had more time, I would have raised you with my own hands until the end. But I knew from the beginning that I didn't have time. That's why I've devised a spell."
"Wait, is that what you meant when you said I was your successor?"
"...... I didn't tell Sam, but he knew I didn't have much time."
I had no idea that Ur had made such preparations.
Her magical abilities are nothing short of amazing, but they are specialized for combat.
What kind of magic could Ur have created?
"What I have developed is a secret ritual that can only be used once - inheritance magic.
"...... inheritance magic."
"I can pass on all my magic, all the magic I've learned, and all my skills to Sam."
How is that possible?
If she really can inherit all of hers, as Ur says, then the magic developed is unprecedented.
Many wizards will be clamoring to have it.
Many wizards have tried to leave their skills behind.
Many of them have taken on apprentices or written grimoires to pass on to future generations.
But even so, not all ten of the ten things are passed down to the next generation.
Therefore, one of the main tasks of the wizards was to leave behind a living proof of their magic for future generations.
"It can be done. But inheritance does not mean mastery of everything, it requires talent and skill. But Sam has no problem with that. The past four years have convinced me of that."
"I'm going to inherit everything Ur has?"
"Sam is blessed with talent and magic. Time will tell. I'm sure you'll have no problem using everything I have inherited.
"Wait, wait, wait, Ur! You're kind of assuming that I'm going to inherit it, but I'm going to need a doctor first. You've had four years, maybe there's still time!"
I am honestly happy that Ur is willing to pass everything on to me.
But I wanted her to live more than that.
"You're a hopeless girl. I told you I know my body."
"But..."
"I've been aware of the symptoms for some time. My taste buds have gone numb, my hands and feet are numb, my breathing is labored, my strength is gone. It was hard to hide it from you."
"But that doesn't mean..."
"Listen, Sam. I'm glad you feel that way. I wish I could spend more time with you and Sam. But it's no use if I'm too weak to use my inheritance magic. I won't be able to trust you with everything I have."
"--Urr!"
"You're not saying you don't want it, are you?"
"You wouldn't say that! But more than that, I want to be with Ur!"
If I had not inherited all of Ur, if my remaining time would have been extended, I would have gladly given it up.
But from her conversation with Ur, Sam knew that she really did not have much time left.
Still, she would like to spend more time with Ur if she could be allowed to do so.
She wonders if there is any other way.
Ur hugs Sam gently as she can't stop crying.
"My dear Sam. My first love. I want to live with you. But as much as I want to, I don't want to see you visibly weaken. Then let me die while I can still be me."
