"--Urr! Don't say that!"

I couldn't see Ur's face properly through my tears anymore.

It became clear to me that she was refusing to live.

I hate that she is so ill that her respected master has no choice but to give up.

"I used to be afraid of death. I used to be afraid of death. I used to be afraid that I would die with nothing left of what I had learned, of my talent. But not anymore. Because of Sam. Because of Sam, I can sleep in peace."

"Ur...... don't like it, Ur."

"I knew one day I would hurt Sam. I'm heartbroken and I'm sorry."

It felt as if I was saying goodbye.

Sam tightens his arms around Ur.

He was so stubborn that he didn't want to let go.

"But I'm glad at the same time," he says. I can give my all to my beloved apprentice. What could make you happier?"

I can't reply.

I can't stop crying.

Sam sobs in Ur's arms.

"You are a good wizard. If you inherit all that I have, you will reach even greater heights. I look forward to it, my dear apprentice.

Ur said and gently stroked Sam's head.

"Come on, give me your hand."

Sam complies with tears streaming down his face.

She pulled herself away from Ur and took her hand in hers.

"Now I'm going to tell you everything I know. I am sure that if I use the inheritance spell, I will pass away in my sleep. I don't like to get wet, so I've left you a letter. Read it later."

"Oh, no. Urgh."

Tears spilled down my cheeks as I wondered if I was about to say goodbye.

I thought I still had a few days to go.

It was too sudden.

It seems that the naughty master doesn't even give us time to prepare ourselves.

"You're a crybaby, Sam. "You're a crybaby, Sam. If I do, the magic will fail.

Ur looked troubled.

"If you love me, please. If you love me, please, take all of me."

"--Okay. All right. As the only disciple who loves Ur, I'll accept everything you have to offer."

"--good boy."

As Sam tried to listen to his master's wish with tears streaming down his face, Ur smiled reassuringly.

Sam, too, smiles, defeated.

He decided to smile for Ur.

"Okay, let's start. It's nothing, it'll be over soon. --Inheritance magic activated.

A small murmur, no chanting or anything, echoed through the room.

Warm magic slowly flows from our clasped hands.

I could feel Ur's magic entering Sam's body.

Not just magic.

Ur's knowledge and skills flowed into Sam along with the magic.

(It was as if she was one with Ur.)

It felt as if her whole being, her life, was coming into Sam.

It would have been a tremendous feeling of happiness, if it had not been for the parting that awaited us next.

But Ur would be gone when the inheritance magic was over.

If I had noticed her poor health earlier, a different ending might have been waiting for me.

Just thinking about it makes my tears well up in frustration, and my smile almost crumbles.

Sam tried her best to keep smiling.

And he continued to accept the magic that flowed from her, and the end came.
