A Wish to Grab Happiness

In a hall set in the corner of King's Landing, Nines fingered a thin book with decorative details.Slowly, slowly, and sparingly, send a line of sight to the letter.

For Nines, a Sigilist, reading books and documents is close to breathing.It was a habit that had never been more important than sleeping and eating.

Nevertheless, of course, when I ran the orphanage, I was unable to buy expensive books, so I read the rough copy many times.With that in mind, life today is the best.

But Nines wasn't dissatisfied with the way he lived in the orphanage.Many grievances arise from ignorance, and all distress is childhood.If dissatisfaction and grief follow the past, we will eventually find humans with the same thing, and we will know how to solve them.

Nines believes that truly freeing people from suffering is more about knowledge than faith.No, I sometimes laugh about whether this is faith or not.

― ― Mr. Nines, are you sure?

Nines, who even had a calm expression in front of the book, froze his expression when he heard Ralgood-Ann's quiet voice through the door.

Though some of my free time had been wasted, Ann, who was busier than herself, approximated the reason for her visit here.

I haven't read half of the book yet, but I gave up and sandwiched myself.

At the same time, Ann stepped into the room withholding her servants.By the time she came in on her own initiative without going through the servants, it was clear that an anomaly had occurred.

"What's the matter, Ann?It is unusual for you to come and visit.- No, it's fine. I know a lot about it. "

At the same time, Ann entered the room with Bruder, who was escorting the dignitaries, and his sister, the Iron Princess, Vestaline.Whatever happened to Brooder, Vestaline was wounded in the battle of Zebrelilis, but she was already standing on her own leg.I didn't wear any armor on the boulder, but it was sturdy.

No, I don't suppose that even she had to move.

"What's wrong with Lugis?"

"... you know very well.No, yeah. Yes, it is. "

"That's why you're here."

Nines welcomed them with his purple eyes enlarged.You're sighing from the bottom of your lungs.I can't get out of my habit of sighing for long.

"If you think so much about him, Ann.I wish you or anyone had conceived his child.That would be his happiness, and it would be for the sake of Sigilism.You want me to give you some good medicine?

"... I guess everybody's saying the same thing to him, you."

Bruder looked suspiciously at Nines, playing with the edges of his hat.If you look at Vestaline looking almost the same way, she's still a sister.

But I wonder if the color of interest to Vestaline is that her sister is stronger than her sister.

"I had a crush on the Virgin Matthia, but it wasn't good for the boulders.He can make plans, but he doesn't really care about love. "

"Master Nines!?

"I'm kidding, Ann.So what happened? "

The fact that you keep your servants away means that you don't want people to listen to you.It would be better to speak quickly.

Though I put it in the book, Nines wetted her lips by putting her mouth on a tea that had become completely warm.

"Well, that's right.What do you say? "

Ann hesitated for a moment.Nines twitched her eyelashes in an unusual fashion.Like speaking a new language, Ann said.

"― ― What time does the hero say that he is full of war?Are you saying something's wrong? "

"That's a good thing.Whatever happens, the hero's motivation is a good thing. "

When the hero and Lugis called him that, Nines remembered something itchy in his chest.Even the shards make me want to laugh away.

That muddy kid is now a hero.No matter how many times I think about it, I can't help but remember strange emotions.At the same time, I feel causality when I think about Arieno.

Besides, I could speculate as to why Lugis has increased his readiness.

Anyway, Nines knows that scoundrel is dead.Bad guys have known Lugis since ancient times in orphanages.There's nothing strange about having special feelings.

"Not really.What military commanders need is neither exaltation nor war.Commander, even if there are no mistakes, there are emotions that can lead to mistakes. "

It was Vestaline who sandwiched herself into Nines' and Ann's questions.Are you proud to be a mercenary leader or were you born with it?Her words are full of confidence, even if she is not wrapped in constant armor.

"It's a certain fact.But it's better than disappointment.... no, I don't know, Ann.I can't believe you're visiting me like this. "

Nines tilted her head and turned her gaze toward Ann.

Takashi, what is it that Lugis is a little motivated to fight?First of all, his arbitrariness and suspicious behavior are always the same, and in a sense Nines has an unreadable part of his mind.

Virgin Matthia is wearing a collar to manage it, as is Queen Phyllos.The Queen of Gaza, the Swordsman and the Magician who follow him are more useful than the Nines to hold him down.

That's why I don't know Nines.I didn't think Ann had a reason to visit me.

Under Nines's gaze, Ann opened her lips as if she had said no.This is also unusual.

"Until now, the Hero has shown the same way.There was someone next door at that time.Sometimes it was me, sometimes it was the Virgin Matthia.But now, that.

--I was told not to let anyone near the room, but only to call the battle.I won't listen to anyone. "

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

Old Royal Army. King Amelitz and Virgin Arieno's parent conscripts continue southward without any disturbance.It was really weird.The Great Demon Zebrelilis was defeated by the new kingdom, but they were filled with war and exuberance.

Among them are only a small number of kings' guards and cathedral knights, and the majority of the 40,000 soldiers are noble private soldiers.It shouldn't be strange to lose war at any time.

But they march fanatically.It's like every step leads to glory.

Or maybe they did.

--The appearance of the empire of the former united empire.

Perhaps every step closer, he was witnessing a more intense vision of the Emperor's capital.

"Brackenberry and Roymets.People who don't trust anything are troublesome. "

There was a Virgin in the carriage surrounded by a flock of soldiers.Golden hair is shaking slightly and decorating the universe with color.

After hearing Altia move her lips and say something, now Arieno is stunned.

Don't try to make me trust you, how dare you.I'm totally stunned. "

"If you say so. [M]But it doesn't matter. "

They turned to their enemies.But wherever you are, it's only natural that you have allies and enemies.It's hard to say that you're still perfect, and it's hard to capture them all.

So what should we do with the hostiles?

It's a simple story.If you saw dust in the room, of course sweep it with a jar and collect it before discarding it.Now it's just a slow gathering phase.

"They're going to be them and they're trying to help me.I love them too. "

Ultia said with a voice that made her feel that way from her core, without feelings.The smile on the nose and lips reminiscent of sculpture is even a kind of divinity.

"Do they accept such distorted love?

However, Arieno stayed in the ordinary hours even in front of the spirits.Is it because you share your body, or because you recognize Altia as your kind?

Either way, that was... horrible.

Whether Altia is a spirit or a great demon.Arieno doesn't have any grudges.

"You say that?"

But Altia also smiles strangely at Arieno.Arieno's attitude doesn't seem to bother her, and she doesn't show any emotions.Just a little peace of mind for the family.

"What is that statement?I wonder if your love is true, Arieno. "

Yes, of course.

Immediately, Arieno says.You can only see the color of your soul, but you can see wonders and smiles.

Rugis has a little bit of an eye catch.No, of course it's my fault I couldn't save Lugis.Still, wanting you to see yourself is love, isn't it?--I 'm sure Rugis is thinking about me now.

It may be pure in a sense, a manifestation of unlikely innocence.

But you should stop and think about one thing.Why do babies who were pure and innocent immediately after birth conceive impurities as they grow?

Is the world dirty?Because the people around me are impure.Both are far from answers.

- One answer. Purity is madness.

Pure love devours all, and pure justice does not know to stop.Everyone is born out of madness and wears reason.Not losing purity is both happiness and unhappiness.

There were several pure men with Ultia now.Arieno and the heroes.

"- Jilluire"

Altia got out of Arieno's consciousness and summoned her magician.

"Yes, my lord."

In the carriage. A voice whispers in a place where there is no one but Ultia.Pretending, the space trembles, and the color slowly falls into the empty universe.

I saw pale hair at first.From there, Jill slowly creates the eyes and contours, and recovers the Magus who was in the carriage.

"I wonder if it's hard to be just a soul."

"No, only the soul is to me.And there shall be no suffering before the LORD.However, it is not without regret that the Lord's wish could not be fulfilled. "

Jill is the 'Lord of the Soul' itself.Whether her body is destroyed or not, she can exist with a soul.Rather, she may have wanted to throw away the dirty flesh or something earlier.

However, I should have used a little more.If that brave man hadn't slaughtered me, I would have been ready for this.With that in mind, Jill raised his eyebrows slightly.

"I didn't get the body of a brave man.But I got the heroic soul.I don't mind.Now the brave, the human king, and the great hero are in my hands. "

As Altia speaks, Jill lines up the souls she holds in front of her.The soul of the valiant who planted the seeds of the immortal remains under the control of Jill 'il when the flesh dies.It reminds me of the distorted sweetness that he who kills himself is in his hands.The pale hair trembled.

There are two souls in front of Altia.

One is the brave Richard, and the other is the human king Medic.Another great hero soul is already in the vessel.

Heroes of old and present, guardians of humanity and justice created by the world.All of them are under Altia.

"What can we do better than this?If you say so yourself, you're right. "

"Oh, it's easy, Jill."

Altia said with a loud voice, as if she still remembered the nostalgia.

Return to the Imperial Capital. That's my city.Arieno doesn't know, and the Imperial Capital will remember when I return.- I don't know who my husband is. "

A testament that Altia reigned.The bell that bears witness to the survival zone of mankind is still ringing in the capital of Sang Wang.
