1: Thank you, // Jio.

2: The key is...

3: I'm the key...

Text: Rin's heart, which had been closed up all along, opens up to gentle Jio's words...

Chapter 12: The City that exists for Magicians

1: The key to the door...
2: Of the passageway that leads to the inverted city...

Text: The gears of destinies are falling in place----

Kirihata Ayumi

Jio and Gold and Forbidden Magic

[3]

1: Inverted city...?!
2: You mean...!

3: The thing that appeared when we saw the past through the magical tool...

4: You certainly are a freaking amazing key.

5: ...So, where would that door be? Or is it something that appears using magic?

[4]

1: As for the the key, is it something abstract? Something concrete? We don't know anything at the moment.
2: It's...

3: It's...
SFX: clatter clatter

4: pant
5: pant

6: It...
7-9: pant
10: Is...

[5]

1: The door...
2: Is...

3: It's enough!

4: It's fine, Rin. // Don't say it.

5: Jio...

6: You don't have to tell us...
7: Sorry for making you remember something painful...

8: Indeed.

[6]

1: It's not like there's anyone else to ask if we can't find out anything from you.
別にお前に聞かなくても、聞ける相手はいるし

2: And besides, we're not through with those guys yet, so they'll probably continue coming after you.

3: Saza...
4: You mean...

5: Why don't we go meet
6: Gin Taxibises?

[7]

1: Who is this Gin Taxibises who's currently in Parnoas?
2: Is it the Gin Jio knows? The one the squirt knows? // Or is he entirely someone else?

3: We won't start getting answers until we've met the actual man himself.

4: ...
5: I // Suppose...

6: Ah!

7: Rin, you don't have to go. // Just wait...
8: ...I'll go.

[8]

1: I'm going...
2: As well...

3: Okay, // all right then.

4: Let's go together.
5: All three of us.

6: Okay...

[9]

1: So this is Parnoas?
2: They give off a different feel compared to the streets of Saza's country.

3: Jio, how're you holding up?
4: Eh? // I feel fine?

5: Ah!

6: Come to think of it, that's strange, it's not even been a day...
7: Normally, after using the curses, I'd sleep much longer.

8: This is the kind of country we're in.
9: ?

10: Everything surrounding the city centre has become constructed for magicians.
11: The buildings, // Everything.

[10]

1: Huuh, isn't that convenient? So Saza's country doesn't do it?
2: Our country has a name, it's Redai-Sorros...

3: Redai-Sorros is indeed doing the same as well, but nowhere as blatantly as here.

4: Why?
5: Where do you think this magic comes from?

6: Eh?

7: No matter who they are, every human possesses a weak magic.
8: The royal capital gathers this magic at its centre.

9: It sucks up magic from the people, right up to those living on the country's borders.

[11]

1: Wha...

2: What's up with that...!

3: Those who don't live in the capital's centre... the non-magicians, just who do they take them to be...?!

4: That's why magicians are very precious.

5: !

6: You were able to become a magician with comparatively less effort, // So you probably don't realise...

[12]

1: More so than ten thousand infantry, or a thousand calvary.
2: That's how rare a magician is.

3: Besides, people won't die from just having a little magic taken from them.
4: No country can exist without its citizens.

5: ...But,

6: I don't like the idea...
7: Of something like this...

[13]

1: This isn't something that can be so easily classified to be good or evil. // Don't think too deeply into it.
2: ...

3: More relevant to us now is that, you should be grateful about the fact that magicians can be found at the centre of the capital.

4: Gin should be over there.

5: What's happening?

[14]

1: Wait, Jio, squirt.

2: I don't know if it's Gin or not, but someone is coming out...

[15]

1: G... // Gin...?

[16]

1: That's... the same mask as the one we saw that man wearing in Jio's past?

2: No, it's a little different...

3: At any rate, this means we won't be able to tell if that's the Gin Jio knows or otherwise.

4: But...

5: One thing is clear...!

[17]

1: You'll show me the proof.
みせつけてくれるじゃないか
2: You just need a little push, right?
ちょっとは押えろよな
3: There's no mistaking it...!

[18]

1: This magic...
2: This guy's the magician who annihilated Oribiretis in one night...!

Text: This man is powerful...! // Only that much is certain...
