「―――Ur! Don’t say things like that to me!」

The tears were already making it hard to see Ur’s face properly.

It was clear that she was refusing to live.

He hated the disease so much that his respected master had no choice but to give up.

「I used to be afraid of death, afraid that I would die without leaving anything of my knowledge and talent. But not anymore. Thanks to Sam. Because of Sam, I can sleep in peace.」

「Ur… don’t go… Ur.」

「I knew that one day I would hurt Sam. My heart hurts, and I’m sorry.」

It felt like goodbye words already.

Sam tightened his arms around Ur.

He was stubborn, as if he never wanted to let go.

「But at the same time, I’m happy. I can give my all to my beloved disciple. How can I not be happy?」

He couldn’t reply.

The tears won’t stop.

Sam sobbed in Ur’s arms.

「You are a great wizard. If you inherit everything I have, you will reach even greater heights. I have high hopes for you, my dear disciple.」

Ur said, patting Sam’s head gently.

「Now, give me your hand.」

Sam obeyed with tears streaming down his face.

He pulled himself away from Ur and held her hand.

「I will now pass on all that I have to you. I am sure that with the use of inheritance magic I will pass away in my sleep. I don’t like to be damp, so I left a letter for you. You can read it later.」

「That’s, Ur.」

Tears spilled further as he realized that goodbye was already imminent.

He thought there was still time for a few more days.

It was too sudden.

It seemed that his Master would not even give him time to prepare.

「You’re such a crybaby, Sam. I feel like crying too. If that happens, the spell will fail.」

Ur looked annoyed.

「If you love me, please. I want you to take all of me.」

「Okay. All right. I’ll accept all of you as the only disciple who loves Ur.」

「―――Good boy.」

Sam, with tears streaming down his face, still tried to listen to his master’s wishes, and Ur smiled reassuringly.

Sam also smiled in defeat.

He decided to smile for Ur’s sake.

「Let’s get started. It’ll be alright, it’ll be over soon. ―――Inheritance Magic, activate.」

There was no chanting or anything, just a small murmur that echoed around the room.

A warm magic power slowly flowed from their joined hands.

Sam could feel Ur’s magic entering his body.

It’s not just magic.

Ur’s knowledge and skills flowed into Sam along with her magic power.

(―――It was as if I was one with Ur.)

It felt as if everything about her, her life, was coming into Sam.

It would have been a tremendous euphoric feeling if it wasn’t for the parting that awaited him next.

But once the inheritance magic was over, Ur would be gone.

If only he had realized earlier that she was not feeling well, a different ending might have been waiting for her.

Just thinking about it brought tears of frustration to his eyes and made his smile falter.

Sam desperately tried to keep a smile on her face.

He continued to accept the magical power that flowed from her, and the end came.
