"Have you seen the Spirit King unmasked?

Asked, Dyste shook her head left and right.

Well, I guess so. I'm purposefully wearing a mask that covers up magic. I can only assume you're hiding who you are.

"Do you remember anything else?

"... I'm sorry. After seeing the Spirit King, I immediately lost consciousness..."

My personality must have switched to Kaihilam, the cursed king.

And he was hiding, right?

"Please, demon king. Help Master Kaihilam. I know you two aren't very close, but there's no one else to rely on..."

Hmm.

Not everything is true, but the masked man's information was beneficial.

If it's a trap, you can trample it.

"My men are just in hiding, too. Then let's help Kaihilam too."

"Thank you, Demon King."

Dyste has a full smile.

It would be better if Kaihilam's personality didn't come out like this.

Well, it's a go. I have no choice.

I glanced at Lyna and said.

"I don't care anymore."

"... yeah"

She looks forward and walks through the flower garden to be attracted to something.

And I stood in the center of this space.

The cranberry was wrapped around something like a stick, and a circle of white flowers was stabbed there.

Lina reaches out and gets those flowers.

Then the spreading grass unravels as if it had the will, revealing the figure of something like a stick that was wrapped around it.

That was a sword.

It's an iron sword with no magic, no philosophy of any kind.

I guess it's been years.

The blade is rusty and worn out.

Its sword pierced the ground and a circle of flowers pointed at it.

It also seemed like a grave mark there.

"... I'm sad..."

Lyna squeaks.

From her eyes, tears were spilling again.

"... I have to go..."

Strong emotions seep into words.

"... I haven't told you yet... I have to tell you..."

I go loose and stand beside her.

Lina turned this way.

"... I can't remember, but I'm sure if I could see that guy I'd know..."

"To the Spirit King?

Kokuri and Lyna nodded.

"I feel that way."

As the Spirit King is that masked man, what is his purpose?

"Ray, can you hear me?

Call in.

A few moments late, my voice returned.

"What?

"During the Devil's Sword Games, you were stabbed with the Devil's Sword of the Covenant in exchange for treating your mother's Spirit Disease?

"Right."

"To the best of your knowledge, it was Ellio the Demon King who planned that one. But he was nothing but a puppet."

After the war with Azesion, Elio was also asked because he had the opportunity, but he was still threatened by an unidentified demon clan.

"Ask just in case, it's not your do-it-yourself, is it?

"No matter how peaceful, I couldn't do anything that would put my mother's life at risk."

I thought it would be.

In other words, there exists someone unidentified who threatened Ray and stabbed the Devil's Sword of the Covenant in his chest.

From what I've been through, it's likely that that's that masked man.

But assuming he is, what's his purpose?

The masked man stopped it when I tried at that demon sword tournament to cut off the roots of Canon, who had fused with the Seven Demons Old Gaios, Idol, and see who he was.

As it turns out, he's hiding the fact that Kanon is Avos Dilhevia.

What the hell, why did you need to do that?

If I hadn't realized who Avos Dilhevia was, Kanon would have died as a false demon king.

So the purpose was to kill Cannon?

Or was it to keep things on Canon's plan and save me?

If it is the latter, the identity of the masked man can also be considered my subordinate, the demon tribe of two thousand years ago.

For example, if Singh did it, no wonder.

If you think only about the Devil's Sword Games, you're talking about.

Assuming it's Sin, this situation is puzzling right now.

There's no better reason than for him not to show up.

Not to mention the fact that you hide who you are in the name of the Spirit King and impose a test on this me.

If so, was the purpose still to kill Canon?

If it's the work of someone who has a grudge against him, we can think of that possibility.

"Oh, can I have a minute, please?

Lyna speaks to me.

"Um, I recognize where Ray is right now. I think there was a shortcut to Heaven."

Looking at Remote Clairvoyance (Limneto), Lyna says.

"Hmm. Where?

"Uh, a little further, 'cause I think we'll probably rendezvous with Mass"

"... Huh? Really?

The voice of Mass is heard from < Thought Communications (Leaks) >.

Mass and Ray, respectively, are proceeding down a staircase covered by wooden walls, with no grasp of each other's position.

After a while, I saw a circular space in Ray's vision.

The passage is visible on the other side, from which Mass shows his face.

"Oh, I was really there. I wondered what would happen by myself."

Mass rushes to Ray.

At that time, a voice echoed in that circular space.

"Uhm. Well done, we got here"

It is the voice of Enniunien.

"In this place, I ask you to take the test of choice. As you can see, we have to go through that door to move on."

There was one door in the circular room that seemed stubborn.

"But the door is locked. There are only two choices to make towards the Heavenly Side. If we fight each other in this place and one of us wins, the door leading to Heavenly Side opens. Then the loser will be asked to return until between trials."

Ray asked.

"What's the other choice?

"The two of us work together and look for other ways."

Ray and Mass looked at each other.

"If we fight, surely one can move on, but if we both try to, does that mean sometimes we can't find our way?

"Exactly."

"Uh, what do we do?

Laughs like Mass is in trouble.

"If I lose on purpose, I'll make sure that Mr. Ray alone goes ahead, and maybe that's better."

Then Lyna told me.

"It's okay, you two can go."

"Ray, Mass. You two should go. I've got an idea where the other roads are."

Yes. Send the message.

The two nodded.

"We'll work together."

"Uhm. Well, let's give you a hint. The way forward is somewhere between these choices. The time limit is five minutes. If we can't find him by then, he won't pass. You're going to have to go back to trial, so think about it."

Leaving it at that, the signs of Enniunien disappeared.

Immediately, Lyna said.

"You have two stone pedestals between your choices, right?

There is a pedestal at the top and bottom edges of the circular room.

"I think there's a stone statue on one pedestal."

On the pedestal at the lower end was the figure of two stone statues.

"If you two ride on the other pedestal and pose the same as the stone statue, you'll open the shortest passage to Heavenly Side."

I sent the word exactly as it was to the two of us.

"Sounds like it."

"Uh..."

Stare at the stone statue, as Mass butted in.

"What's up? You should hurry up."

"Oh yes... but this stone statue poses..."

The two stone statues on the pedestal at the lower end are embraced.

The one hand turns to the other's hips and the other softly attaches both hands to the other's face.

They both had a happy smile.

"... well, but I guess I'm glad I came here for Mass..."

Ray says, as he smiled bitterly.

"Sure. If I'd been there, it would have been quite a challenge."

Huh Ray laughs refreshingly.

"Maybe we should have fought Anos all over again."

"Uh. Which one of you is it about when?

What are you talking about?

"Shh, excuse me. Nothing."

Mass waved in haste, as he dismissed his thoughts.

"Mass"

Ray jumps on the pedestal and reaches for her softly.

"Come on. It's gonna be okay."

"Ah... yes..."

Mass grabbed by Ray's hand and went up to the pedestal.

"Um, guys, don't look, please..."

"Hmm. Too bad, but that's hard. It's not like I'm going after a gap with my eyes closed, and I'm not going to set anything up."

"... oh, right... right..."

"Don't worry. You can't chill."

"Yes... I know that..."

Mass is squeezing his hands together with his thighs as he leans down with a bright red face.

Even while we are doing so, the moment and the time limit pass.

I can't seem to make up my mind, but when this happens, I'll have to entrust it to Ray.

Well, don't worry about it.

That man, the brave Kanon, has given courage to others more than once.

This kind of thing, you'd be good at it.

"How many times?

insignificant, Ray said.

"Oh, I didn't count. Oh, no."

"Four or seven times."

"Ah."

And, Mass blushes.

"... is, eight times...?

"Hmm?"

"O, forty... eight times... you know, the other day, when Mr. Ray... put in a light one when it's different in the hallway..."

Ray gently attaches both hands to Mass's face.

"I knew it, I remember it"

Ray smiling.

"... it's sloppy to try..."

With that said, Mass turns that hand around Ray's waist without fear.

"I'm sorry. I lied that you didn't remember, so I wanted to be mean."

Even stronger, Mass hugged Ray.

The two positions are almost identical to stone statues.

"... Oh, that? Nothing's happening, is it?

Then, Lyna's voice sounds.

"Probably a facial expression, huh?

"... ah..."

Are you nervous, Mass's face is strong.

"This, can I look like this?

I try to smile, but it doesn't work.

It was far from the happy grin of the stone statue.

Thinking about it, this trial is quite a challenge.

Regardless of your posture, if you're not even an actor, such as a happy smile, then yes you can imitate it.

"Mass"

Face to face, Ray stares into her eyes.

"Gee, Mr. Ray... it's not too close...? Now it's not the same attitude as the stone statue...?

"I'm sorry. I was just trying to get my share back."

"Huh...?

Mass looked back at Ray with a decent face.

"I missed you during this exam."

Even so, it shouldn't be an hour yet.

"... I must have missed you more..."

Hmm. Lovers say they don't want to leave for a while, but that's not it.

Love is deep.

"... Mr. Ray..."

The two faces approach each other so that they can suck into each other's gaze, whether they have flew to Kaka without shame in the words before.

So much so that I wonder if I will kiss you now.

"I don't want to leave you anymore."

"It's okay. Because I won't let you go."

In those words, Mass gives a full grin.

Ray was also followed and smiled, returning to the same position as the original stone statue.

At that time, the sound sounds with the dots, the goggles, the goggles, and in the center of the circular room, the great trees grow within the mire.

Perhaps that's the way to go upstairs.

That's something like a brave man.

Yeah, it's easy, I didn't expect to relieve Mass tension.

Quite how, it was a vibrant arrangement.
