Volume 17 Chapter 3 The Will Of The Stars
'I can feel it... The waves of those who hold the 'Relic Holder'... and the high-ranking demons and human warriors... Oh my!'
It was a voice that sounded like an exclamation.
'There are more powerful people gathering than ever before... The ones I've called out to, the ones I've continued to call out to, are here...!'
The words 'called out to' brought back a memory in my mind.
A scene from a dream I had a long time ago.
And the voice that called out to me.
――I'm waiting for you, Rain.
That voice from back then.
'Someone among them will... fight, hone their strength, and eventually reach the final stage of the 'Relic Holder'... and save me... That's why I can't just disappear here alone...'
Hummm...!
The 7-colored light overflowed and enveloped the [Invader].
Gummmm... nn.
The [Invader] slowly shrank with a scream-like voice.
'As long as it's just a fragment, even I can handle this much now...'
The voice said.
'A fragment of my power... Those who hold the 'Relic Holder'... Rain Garland, Goldred Brath Rader... and others who are gathering... I'll guide you back to my origin...'
The voice continued.
Guide us
What's going on?
What's happening――?
'It doesn't matter who it is... The first one to reach my origin, the one who can reach it... The one with the power and qualifications to do so――I'll grant you the power to fulfill any wish...'
The voice was filled with power.
'In return, please save me... I'm waiting for you. It doesn't matter what kind of being you are, good or evil. This is――a competition of fate, a battle that bets on the stars' fate...!'
The next moment, the surroundings were enveloped in a rainbow-colored light.
'Wait... I'm waiting for you...'
The voice and the scenery around me darkened, and then――.

Side: Lisa
Lisa, one of the holders of the 'Relic (Heaven's Legacy)', who possessed the power of [Magic Bullet], was riding a carriage on the street.
It wasn't just any carriage.
The horse and the coachman were all artificial.
This 'magic carriage' was one of the "works" she had created in the past.
(Truth is... I never thought I'd use it again)
Lisa bit her lip.
It was back when she was still active as a magical researcher, before she met the other holders... during that time when Lisa Takamagahara was still...
Though it's a painful memory she's tried to seal away, her skills with the magical carriage are unmatched.
Now, with her sights set on "The Heart of the Stars", the competition with the other holders has already begun, and she's decided to use this magical carriage, suppressing her aversion to the past and her emotional scars.
"I haven't ridden it in a while, but it's really fast, this."
Jig said from the seat next to her.
The number "00049" on his collar――the identification number Lisa had etched onto him――caught her eye, and she slightly averted her gaze.
That too is connected to a painful memory...
