"Ren, do you want to cure your eyes?"
Moonlight stread through the transparent do, sprinkling down upon the lush green trees and flowers. Inside the [Botanical Garden], which resembled an indoor courtyard, a girl held a boy on her lap, gently embracing him from behind. She held a book of fairy tales and asked in a soft voice.
Though still young, the girl's delicate and lovely appearance made it easy to imagine that she would likely grow up to be a great beauty.
Her golden, shoulder-length hair was so fine it seed as if even sunlight could pass directly through it. Her azure eyes were a light, clear color, and a faint smile hung on her fair, delicate face as she seed to be waiting for the boy's answer.
Aozaki Rin was taken aback for a mont. Only after a short pause did he realize he was having another strange dream. Amidst his confusion, he subconsciously nodded in response to the girl's question, but he imdiately asked, puzzled.
"But... how can we do that, Sister?"
After all, even though this was a dream, in his life as the existence known as "Sajyou Ren," he had already tried to cure his own eyes long ago.
Having learned a great deal about magecraft, he had decided to approach it from that angle, but in the end, he could only make his situation slightly better than in the real world, allowing him to see the general outlines of things.
Beside the boy, several paper cranes with eye patterns drawn on them floated silently around him.
But if one were to sense them carefully, they would discover that each paper crane was connected to a series of fine threads of magical energy, which were in turn linked to the magic circuits within the boy's body.
It was precisely because this body possessed a disposition for the path of magic that surpassed the imagination of ordinary people that Aozaki Rin had thought of using the spell formations on the paper cranes to gather information from the outside world. Then, through the feedback of the mana threads, he would have his own magic circuits perform massive calculations to project a simulated image of his surroundings directly into his brain.
For an ordinary magus, this was a computational load so imnse it would likely burn out their magic circuits directly. But for Aozaki Rin, even when constantly maintaining this level of burden, at most he would only feel a slight trace of weariness.
However, even having achieved this much, he still could not see the true colors and forms of the outside world.
But Aozaki Rin did not feel dissatisfied; on the contrary, he felt he was already fortunate enough. But now, his adoptive sister, who should have understood his situation, had suddenly asked this question, which couldn't help but leave him sowhat puzzled.
"Don't worry, you can leave everything to your big sister. In a little while, there should be a way."
Manaka Sajyou said gently, as if to comfort him. Aozaki Rin didn't actually hold out much hope, but not wanting to let the girl's expectations fall flat, he nodded lightly in response.
"Mhm."
Seeing the boy's obedient and compliant appearance, a hint of satisfaction appeared on the corners of the girl's lips.
To be honest, back when her father, Hiroki Sajyou, had brought the boy back and adopted him, she hadn't really cared much about him, only feeling a little curious.
After all, since birth, due to her body being connected to a certain strange thing, everything in her eyes appeared before her like a pre-written script. There were no more expectations or surprises, only a sense of tedious boredom.
It was for this reason that after understanding this, Manaka Sajyou had stopped actively looking at the so-called "future." But even so, that sense of dryness from already knowing everything had long since affected her personality, making it difficult for her to be interested in anything in the outside world.
Although her father, who seed sowhat afraid of her, had brought back an "unknown" boy, which had piqued Manaka's interest for a rare mont, what the girl was thinking at the ti was just confusion about what the boy was, and why she couldn't see his future. And so, driven by this vague curiosity and the naturally ford attitude of finding everything tasteless, Manaka Sajyou had been playing the role of an older sister in a normal family while observing and probing the boy's nature, studying him bit by bit.
This sort of thing was pretty much the only bit of fun left in her past life.
Until one day, the girl, who had been playing her role as an ordinary person perfectly, learned about the story of Prince Charming at school and discovered a new surprise.
Although she understood that it was rely fictional, a fairy tale that existed in the imagination, the girl, who had no expectations for life, couldn't help but fantasize about whether she too would one day et her own Prince Charming and change this tedious life.
And it was at this ti that she realized sothing.
Waiting might not necessarily lead to hope. If that was the case, why not take the initiative herself, to seek, or even to create...
Her gaze involuntarily fell upon the boy who had been about to greet her at that ti. After this thought flashed through Manaka Sajyou's mind, she couldn't help but feel that this was simply the most suitable thod.
A boy who already possessed an elent of the unknown, combined with her own ideas—didn't that an she had the opportunity to create a "Prince Charming" who both t her expectations and could bring her a sense of the unknown?
And so, from that mont on, a certain plan began to take root in the girl's heart.
She first changed her own attitude, no longer deliberately maintaining a certain distance to observe the boy, but instead finding ways to integrate herself into his life.
Or rather, to make him unable to ever leave her.
To this end, she began to take ticulous care of everything for the boy. Every night, she would recite different beautiful fairy tales about princes and princesses, engraving the image of a prince into the boy's mind, drop by drop.
And every morning, she would also carry the boy from his bed, place him in his wheelchair, and push him around the house, wanting the boy to slowly begin to rely on her.
However, what surprised Manaka a little during this period was that the boy's talent in magecraft seed to be on par with her own.
Of course, this was not bad news; on the contrary, it made her even happier.
After all, didn't that an he was even more similar to her?
The only thing that left the girl with so regret was the appearance of that Mystic Code that could support the boy in standing up, which deprived her of the pleasure of having the boy continue to rely on her.
But that didn't matter...
Even if the boy's legs could walk like a normal person's, Manaka understood that his inability to see was the part the boy cared about more.
She just needed to cure the boy's eyes at a specific mont, and then surely, in the future, his eyes would only have room for her.
However, what Manaka hadn't expected was that even with her level of magecraft, she was unable to cure the boy's eyes, which were suspected to have been "cursed" after directly looking at so existence, causing her plan to go awry again.
But regarding this point, the girl was not so worried. After all, if she couldn't do it with her current abilities, then she just needed to borrow so external power.
She knew that in a certain place, there existed a so-called "tool" that could grant any wish. As long as she used it in conjunction with that thing, she should be able to remove the "curse" on the boy's eyes.
It was just that the appearance of that thing would still require waiting for a few more years.
Gently stroking the soft black hair of the boy in her arms, the girl's eyes curved, and as she recited the fairy tale in her hand as usual, a gentle smile on her lips, she murmured softly in her heart.
—Please grow up quickly, my cute, little Prince...
