Threat Of The Beasts

”You were once again straining your memory, weren you? ”

It was Sophia who asked that question.

”What are you talking about? I didn do anything. ”

I replied, averting my gaze.

”Don try to trick me, you used string magic to manipulate your brain again. ”

She knows I am lying.

My string magic, besides being used for combat, is also used to control peoples bodies, which includes my own.

It was through string magic that I was able to force my brain to remember many things.

Unfortunately, if I use string magic for too long, my body gets too tired.

”You don care what I am doing! ”

I exclaimed, trying not to make eye contact.

”It is clear that you were using string magic without permission! ”

She yelled back at me, too.

I decided not to reply any further.

”Your nose is bleeding! ”

He yelled this while pointing at my nose. A large amount of blood was dripping down. Apparently, I had not noticed.

I automatically wiped the blood off my nose with my shirt sleeve.

”This is because I accidentally hit my nose! ”

I replied, but wiping the nosebleed did not stop it from bleeding.

”Lately, I don recognize you anymore… ”

Her words made me feel sick, so I looked at her

Sophia is my sister and she is 27 years old.

She has long blonde hair, tied back in two pigtails. She has blue eyes, is about 56 ” tall and of normal build.

She was only a baby when her parents died. So she has zero knowledge of this event.

She is much more charismatic and sociable than I am, I am the opposite.

I am 56 ” tall, slim face, white hair, shoulder length, bangs on the right side, and blue eyes.

The one thing we have in common is that neither she nor I look our age.

”What do you mean you don recognize me? ”

I asked her that.

”Have you checked your room? ”

”Its all totally **ed up. ”

she told me that as he pointed around me.

My room may be messy, but that doesn matter right now.

”Besides, you won even talk to me, you will only leave your room to do your duty, nothing else. ”

She told me so.

”Its true that lately Ive been concentrating only on completing my missions, but thats because I want to get them done as soon as possible. ”

”Besides, so many apostles have died recently that we all need to focus on making sure there are no more casualties ”

In the end, I was right.

”Additionally, we have cleaning assistants to take care of them ”

The world is coming to an end, and if fighting does not provide a solution, then what happened in the past may help us.

Anyway, I am right.

Sophie just stands there with a disappointed look on her face, as if what I say makes no sense.

”I know you still have doubts about the death of our parents … ”

Sophie is depressed when she say that.

”But trying to dig into it will get you nowhere ”.

”If you continue in this way you will hurt yourself. ”

When Sophie finished speaking, there was nothing but anxiety on her face.

”You have no grounds to say that, I haven tried hard enough! ”

I angrily slammed the table next to me.

”You have been trying for two weeks, you did not even eat well, you did not even sleep well. ”

”Surely you didn realize how quickly time had passed. ”

Was it really two weeks that I was trying to regain my memory?

It can be….

Impossible…

”Obviously you were unaware… ”

”Your confused face says it all. ”

I still can believe it…

”For the past two weeks you have acted like a completely different person. ”

”Your performance was different, you did not comply, you did not complete the task in the same way, it was basically not you. ”

”Its as if someone useless got you. ”

What should I say?

How can I be in two places at once?

”But at least everything stays the same, right? ”

I asked this because the situation was already starting to scare me.

”Well, there were a lot of typical missions like sharing food equally in the city, checking the safety of shields… ”

”In fact, one mission was so important… ”

She is very reflective.

She is hiding something.

What happened? ”

She just remained silent and thoughtful.

Why won you tell me anything?

”Talk to me now! ”

I am dying of nervousness.

Why won you talk?

He stands there looking at me from head to toe as if something is wrong.

How bad is it?

Why won he talk?

”Let me check something. ”

”What exactly do you remember? ”

she was curious and asked me that question.

”I remember preparing for a mission where I had to investigate why a vegetable farm was damaged. ”

”We also had to search outside the island to make sure the area was safe. ”

”And lastly, we had to check the fishing grounds off the island, as the appearance of fish had declined. ”

I replied as best I could recall.

”Well… Well, yes, most of the missions we have been given in the last three weeks or so ”.

You are partially correct… ”

”But can you tell me the order in which those missions occurred? ”

I was a bit surprised by that question.

Is he playing games with me?

None of these missions have happened yet.

How should I answer?

”Don say anything. ”

”But you must try to remember what happened. ”

”You have already tried to manipulate the brain using string magic before you finally succeeded. ”

So I have to go through the procedure again to get my memory back?

But isn that exactly what you told me not to do?

Is he telling me to use my string magic again to force my memory?

Her devilish grin proves that I am right….

”Why don you tell me what happened ”

”Its easier that way, and besides, you don want me to use my yarn magic on you, do you? ”

I reply, trying to avoid him contradicting me.

”I want you to use your string magic again to get your memory back. ”

she says this while maintaining her terrifying smile.

That definitely contradicts itself too much!

”I know you must think that I am too inconsistent with myself … ”}

Oh, really?

”Youd better learn that yourself. ”

”Remembering that affects me greatly… ”

At one moment, her expression became a little depressed.

”Okay, Ill give it a try. ”

”Come on, lets get started. ”

I lay down on the bed.

I closed my eyes and began to move the threads in my body until they reached my head.

After a while, my vision completely blurred. …
