"Oh, we've been talking nonsense, haven't we? By the way, how's your eye and arm?"
After a short fuss, the conversation turned to Sam's physical condition.
"Unfortunately, I still can't see or feel anything. It hasn't been a day yet, so it's nothing to worry about."
It's an inconvenience, but it's not a problem.
I can see out of my other eye and I remember how to use my arm even though I can't feel it.
If I have to fight against a demon king like Lepssy again, it will be a big burden, but against a human, I will not easily fall behind.
Sam had regained his original strength and skills, and was able to use the magical power inherited from Ur without any problem, he was proud of it.
I'm sorry I let you use it, even though I knew there was a price to pay."
"You don't have to apologize, Ur.
"I know. But I still want to apologize for not being able to fight."
"Still, I don't need an apology. I fought because I could. I used it because I knew I would pay the price. I couldn't have been so generous with the lepers in the first place. If I had hesitated to use my power, even for a moment, I wouldn't be here now.
Sam had no regrets.
If he had not fought because he was afraid of the cost, he would have regretted it more.
No, he could not even regret if he had died.
I shudder to think of what would have happened after that.
Ur, Günther, and His Majesty Clyde who were there would have been killed by the lepers. After that, there is a big possibility that Liese and other important people in the capital would have lost their lives too.
Then, Sam's decision to fight against the Lepsies at that time was not wrong.
"- I see. Then I won't say it again."
"Yeah. That's fine."
"Then I'll tell you what I didn't tell you."
"What you didn't teach me?"
"Yes. There are things I have deliberately kept from you. And I have omitted that knowledge from the knowledge transmitted by the inheritance magic I have performed on you. But for the future, it would be good for you to know."
"Huh?"
I had never thought that there was something that Ur had intentionally omitted from the knowledge he had passed on to me.
At the same time, I could see that he had definitely done so for my sake.
"Your greatest magic, [Sekai wo Kirisaku Mono], is called ."
"Compensatory magic? What does that mean?"
I've never heard of this kind of magic.
At least, I have never heard of it in the more than four years I have studied under Ur.
"It means exactly what it says. Magic for a price. It is a very simple but powerful magic. Originally, we wizards used magic by consuming our own magical power. We use magic by paying the price of magic power. And what do you think would happen if that price were increased?
"...... Well, we can use powerful magic, right?"
That's right. There was once a study of compensatory magic. But the research was not good enough. If you increase the price, you can use powerful magic, but you don't want to pay the price yourself. Then what should you do? It's easy, just have someone else pay the price who is not you."
Is that...
It's forbidden.
I'm sure you're right.
At any time and in any place, there are people who are willing to take risks for others while being unwilling to take risks for themselves.
When I hear such stories, I am reminded of how cruel human beings are.
"The most forbidden art is the one that was recognized as forbidden because it was found to be able to force others to pay the price. Furthermore, even if it was powerful magic, it could not go beyond the boundaries of human beings. After all, there is only so much magic a human being can do.
"Huh? But what about me?"
Sam's question was valid.
As a human, Sam had defeated the Demon Lord with a single blow.
Even though his opponent was imperfectly resurrected, he had defeated the Demon King, a secret that had been kept by the Kingdom of Skye for generations.
More than anything else, Sam was not aware that the [Sekai wo Kirisakumono] he used was a compensatory magic.
Rather, he did not even know how he was able to use it.
Originally, Sam's skill was a simple one, .
It was a simple and easy-to-understand skill that specialized in cutting.
However, Sam cannot use a sword. He cannot use any kind of weapons or tools.
So, he decided to use his skill as a slash using magic.
He improved this skill, made it easier to use and more powerful, and over time, sublimated it into magic.
Its power is such that it can slaughter the Ordo, the chief of the people of Najaria, with a single blow.
But [sekai wo kirisakumono] is different.
It was not invented by Sam, nor was it the brainchild of Ur.
It came to Sam's mind like a revelation during the battle.
At the time, he was in a life-threatening battle with the Dragon King, or rather, on the verge of being killed, so he used it without thinking. As a result, he succeeded in cutting off the Dragon King's wings.
But I knew there was a price to pay, and Ur and the Dragon King I fought had warned me not to use it, and I had not used it ever since.
(-If what I used was compensatory magic, I feel that I have exerted a power beyond the realm of human beings.)
"Well, except for you. By paying a price, the Sekai wo Kirisakumono can use a limited amount of power that surpasses your own. I tried not to think about it because I didn't want to make you use it again, but it's too strong for compensatory magic, and the price is too little for its strength."
"Yes. I agree. If the price for being able to use that much power is a temporary loss of function in one eye and arm, I'm sure he won't hesitate to use it again."
"--I'm afraid of it."
"Huh?"
Ur looked straight at Sam.
Her eyes seemed to be sincerely concerned for Sam.
"Are you sure you haven't paid the price? Are you paying for something that you and I can't perceive, such as a life span, without knowing it?"
"I don't ...... know about that."
I was horrified when Ur told me.
(Yes, why did I assume I was only paying what I could figure out? Lifespan is invisible and cannot be felt. I don't know what I'm paying for in magic, or talent, or anything else.)
"So promise me, Sam. I'll never use it again."
"--that."
Sam could not reply.
If another Demon Lord should appear as an enemy, there would be only a limited number of ways to deal with him.
It was better to sacrifice himself than to let the fear of the cost deprive him of what he held dear.
"I understand your concern. So I will give you a solution. You will be pleased. After all, it is the magic of the elves.
"--Elf! Urgh! I know an elf!"
Elf.
They are the representatives of fantasy, but Sam has never met one before.
When he was told that he would be taught the magic of the elves, his heavy thoughts were blown away.
"Yeah, too bad they're perverts."
But at the master's words, Sam's shoulders slump.
"I see, you're a pervert. There are so many perverts in this world.
"Yeah, there's a lot of perverts."
"Ha-ha-ha."
"Ha-ha-ha-ha."
Sam and Ur laughed.
They kept laughing, as if it were a joke.
They laughed so much that they gradually lost the reason for their laughter.
Thinking back, when I used to travel with her, we laughed at trivial things.
(I have more things on my mind, but that's okay now. If Uru tells me not to use it, I won't use it. That's all right.)
After talking and laughing with Ur, Sam finally felt that he was properly reunited with his beloved mentor.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
