## Summary

Yuuya and Night explore the cave and Yuuya sees it wasn't made naturally, though he can't sense any monsters, yet Night is still anxious. The two arrive in an open space and Night finds something unexpected: the skeleton of a person. The most unique thing, though, is a book Night found near the skeleton's body. He uses the **Translation** skill and learns the book and corpse belonged to the Sage.

Yuuya starts reading the book, where the Sage proclaimed he could do anything he put his mind to. One day, he stepped into the realm of the Gods, where they told the Sage they felt his skills were wasted on a mortal like him, and they would like him to become a God himself. The Sage knew that if he accepted, he could have all of eternity to do whatever he wished, but he turned down the offer, deciding instead to die as a human instead. In his book, the Sage wrote that to whom ever reads it, they clearly have the strength to survive in the Great Demon's Den, and eventually, that will make him feared in the eyes of others like he was himself. To that, he asks that whoever reads his book not walk the same path he did.

Yuuya remarks that the Sage lived a lonely and unhappy life, yet he views him as very kind to someone he's never met before. As he starts fearing chasing away the people in his life, he continues reading and sees that the Sage advised that Yuuya surround himself with people he can trust; friends, lovers, family, anyone that will stay by his side, as it was the one thing the Sage himself could not do. He advises that Yuuya not rush things and find said people at his own pace, and then, he should face himself.

Yuuya thanks the Sage for his words as he keeps reading and sees that he left something he really wanted his reader to know. However, Yuuya just sees blank pages, so he suspects the Sage wanted to teach him magic. To his complete surprise, the book asks Yuuya if he wants to learn magic, causing Yuuya to realize that the Sage, though dead, is somehow able to communicate with him. The book then floats into the air and the Sage tells Yuuya that all of his theories he knew about magic are in the book and he will learn a lot from reading it. However, he believes as Yuuya is now, he won't be able to use magic JUST by reading the book, but that is before the Sage quickly realizes that Yuuya is from another world. As such, he lacks the circuit in the bodies of the people of the fantasy world that allows them the use of magic. Yuuya becomes a little sad at that, but the Sage's spirit tells him that he can have his own circuit, since he no longer needs it. Yuuya is hesitant to take something even the Sage considers a treasure to the world, but the Sage is confident he can wield its power.

After bestowing his mana circuit to him, the Sage tells Yuuya that he can still read the notes he left behind, but his body can still understand magic even if he doesn't have it. Above all else, his deepest wish is for Yuuya to be happy, and to focus on what's ahead of him rather than dwell on his regrets, and that his magic help Yuuya find his happiness. Yuuya gratefully accepts the Sage's gift and hopes he rest in peace.
