Magician in Type-Moon

He stopped worrying about Angela Mainyu; he was quite confident in Matou Ike's abilities, unless a problem arose that he couldn't handle.

That guy can also use the spell patterns engraved on his body to connect back to Matou Ike.

With his spirits up, Matou Ike cast a suggestion spell on himself and entered the hospital at night.

The door clicked open.

Sunlight streamed in through the closed window.

This is Wujiao Wuyi's private hospital room. It's strange that this room has been preserved even though she has disappeared.

It's neither examination time nor rounds time now, so basically no one comes to disturb us.

Matou Ike's gaze swept across the room's layout as he attempted to deconstruct the Mystic Eyes to profile this place.

The room was filled with sunlight, and the cream-colored curtains, which never swayed in the wind, were draped over the hospital bed.

The decor was unremarkable, but not too shabby either.

It just felt unusually empty, like a temporary guesthouse that had been cleaned up, a place for temporary guests to rest.

For the residents, this place is far too lonely.

Lying on this hospital bed is a completely different feeling.

There was nothing around him, and perhaps not even many people accompanying him.

All I could do was look at the scenery outside the window and the flowers next to my head.

Flowers?

Matou Ike suddenly realized the most illogical thing about this room.

This bouquet of flowers?

On the table next to the hospital bed was a fresh flower.

It's not a plastic product, but a pure, fresh flower.

This couldn't possibly be something left behind before Wuzhao Wue disappeared; its freshness suggests it was only recently delivered.

Who would still persistently send flowers here even after Wuzhao Wue has disappeared?

Araya Sōren?

He doesn't have that kind of interest.

I don't understand.

Continue to mentally simulate the motives and actions of the person who sent the flowers.

Why did he send flowers? To send flowers to someone who is missing.

It's like...a memorial service.

A memorial service? He's offering a memorial service for Wuzhao Kirie... that means he's confirmed Wuzhao Kirie's death!

What will he do after the memorial service?

Will he leave? No, he can't possibly be so emotionally stable after just mourning the deceased.

So what would he do? Lie in bed?

Matou Ike's gaze slowly moved across the entire room as he pondered.

Until my gaze settled on the window, which was covered by curtains.

As a hospital, proper ventilation in unused wards is a basic requirement. Hospital cleaning staff cannot proactively close the ward windows and draw the curtains during the day.

Then only the person who sent the flowers would do such a thing.

Why close the window, and what does locking the window mean?

In the mystical realm, this is called a partition.

The world is divided into two parts, an inner side and an outer side.

To Matou Ike, that window was as glaring as the boundary line.

Chapter 220 Intruder

What does that person want to isolate?

You'll only know if you open the window.

Matouchi got off the hospital bed, pondered for a while, and silently walked to the window.

Pulling back the sheer curtains, the sunlight was slightly dazzling.

The latches on the window were also unlocked by Matouchi, and the window was pushed open the instant.

A gust of wind swept through the room.

My body felt like it was about to float away.

beautiful.

The view from above is overwhelming.

Even the most ordinary things can be moving when viewed from above.

Is the goal simply to lock away this space that clashes with the interior of the ward?

Why prevent those inside from experiencing the beauty of the outside world?

It's not that simple.

The inside and outside of the room are now two different worlds.

The external view is extremely vast, a world full of freedom and beauty.

The interior is narrow and closed off, a dark and enclosed space where you can see the end at a glance.

For humans, the world is limited to what they can personally experience.

Both are real.

But compared to the cramped space we perceive, the vast scenery before us is what humanity yearns for, and this perception is correct.

"If I were Kirie Wujou, I probably would also want to fly," Matou Ike murmured, putting himself in Kirie Wujou's shoes and experiencing that feeling.

Both are worlds we inhabit, but the former gives a more realistic feeling.

So, is it to lock away Wujou Kirie's desire to fly?

A bird with an injured wing is caged, for fear that it will yearn for the outside world and fall again.

But this creates a contradiction.

How could a bird that has seen the sky be willing to live in a cage?

Matou Ike slowly closed her eyes, stopping the supply of magical energy to the circuits that supported the Mystic Eyes.

I only put myself in that situation for a moment in this profile.

Matou Ike suddenly had the idea of ​​jumping out of the window from the inside.

This is no longer just the effect of the profile; it's more like a curse, as long as you look out from this window.

Once this action is taken, one will be influenced by the "desire to fly".

It's like a curse.

It's not a spell created by magic, but rather a form of hysteria that occurs when a wish reaches a certain level.

However, to reach the current scale, a certain amount of mysterious support may be needed.

However, it seems that Wujou Kirie's own abilities can also be amplified to this extent.

The bloodline of the Witch.

The family lineage belongs to an ancient pureblood race.

He's an expert in prayer, but by nature he lives by cursing.

The surname Fujoh is derived from Fujoh (meaning impure).

This information came from Orange.

In other words, another reason for sealing off this room might be the fear that the curse here would cause the deaths of unrelated people?

This is one of the reasons why the room was kept after Wutiao Wue disappeared, and other patients were not allowed to stay there.

In this era, empty hospital wards are extremely scarce.

People with this ability, aside from those in the mystical realm.

Even ordinary people must come from wealthy or noble families.

Great, the scope of the investigation has been narrowed down a bit.

Matou Ike thought to himself.

Continuing to explore this place is no longer of much use.

Matou Ike is preparing to leave the hospital.

However, before leaving, he still left behind a demon worm as an informant.

Placing eyes everywhere is a good habit.

You might just run into a lone guy.

The guy who often comes to this ward to deliver flowers, even if he doesn't know the whereabouts of Wuzhao Kirie.

However, they certainly possess some information that Matouike cannot currently uncover.

We just need to wait for him to come and "pay his respects" again.

......

The Wutiao Building was deathly silent, without a single person in sight.

At two o'clock in the morning, the entire building seemed to fall asleep, with only the cold incandescent lights emitting a glaring light that illuminated the silent corridors.

The white halo of the lights enveloped every inch of space, completely dispelling the darkness, but this artificial light appeared unusually cold and harsh.
