"Long?"

What caught Setuna was the word for a long sleep that Rem had gone to. I don't feel like I've slept long. But if you were fatigued in battle and seriously injured after exhaustion, it was no surprise that you slept longer.

"How many hours have you been asleep?

"I can't believe how many hours it is."

I chuckled as Rem placed the portable Demon Crystal lamp on the desk next to the bedside.

"I've been asleep for four days."

"Four days...... you slept so much"

I sometimes wondered if the fatigue had not been removed because I had overslept. And be wary that the days of not exercising at all lasted four days. Your body will fade if you don't keep working out. Every day, the four-day blank was too painful for Setuna, who continued the imposed training of her master, Lux-Vein. Of course, four days is huge, even if we never resume training the day after the war.

As Setuna was on her way, Rem nodded small.

"Yes, I mean, today is February 10th."

"... so you're going to go on?

Setuna finally decided to go into Rem's words and actions. When I look at her outfit, I have to be half-eyed. Rem was wearing the maid clothes she was wearing in the name of escort duty. Its crazy language is also due to the fact that it behaves like a servant. Setuna doesn't know why she sticks to servants.

"Would you mind if your husband gave it to you?

"I'm not asking if you like it or not, I'm asking for Rem's opinion."

If you like it or not, you can say you like it. When Rem, who remains a thirteen-year-old girl, wears black and white made-up clothes, she is as cute as a doll. Rem is a white beauty. You can call me a beautiful girl. I couldn't be happy that such a girl would dress up as a maid for herself. but that's a different story from this.

"I am your master's servant. That's all right."

"You can't read. Your heart."

I can't read your husband's mind, either.

Because it's someone else, and so on, I stopped.

With that said, there's no way the conversation plays out. I'm not even going to let you play the conversation.

Silence brings the silence of the night to life. Mid-winter night. The air was cold, and I couldn't help but be cold if it wasn't wrapped in a blanket. In such cold weather, Rem is flat even though he is not cold proof. I'm sure the cold and the heat have nothing to do with her right now. It is proof that she is not just a human being, and that she is a provisionally given life.

"It's been a rough four days."

"I guess...... wasn't it hard to explain me too?

"Yeah, very"

She grinned. Previously, when it came to Rem's smile, it was all like not exaggerating when it came to sales smiles, but the smile now directed at Setuna seemed to hold her emotions. Though that's not necessarily a good emotion.

"First, I had difficulty explaining what happened to your husband. I've been having trouble deciding how far to go... and of course, I haven't told you anything that would be detrimental to your husband."

"Adverse..."

I thought Setuna meant who Craig was, but that didn't seem like it. At least Rem won't know Craig is Arge Ray-Gibbell. In that darkness, you couldn't even confirm Craig's body.

"Your husband just got involved and fought to save your own life, so there's nothing wrong with that."

Yes, he prefaced, and then scratched the explanations he gave to the coalition leaders and told me.

Four days ago. I mean, it seems that in the middle of the night of February 6th, Setsuna and Rem appeared in the first floor hall of the Zenokis Fortress Heavenly Guard. It means Sheila Lewe-Abbard and Saran-Kilclade, who happened to be visiting there, discovered the Setunas, rushed them to the military doctor, and got nothing. If he had been left in the hall all night, he would certainly have died, no matter how many setunas. Most importantly, Rem claims he managed to do so even if there was no one in the hall. She had regained consciousness while being transported by Sheila and the others, and she had nothing more to make than carry Setuna alone.

I woke up. Rem had a storm of questions waiting for me, as Setuna had no choice but to leave unconscious. Rem took Setuna into the shadows. Moreover, being able to come back in the middle of the night would mean that I had been imprisoned in the dark world for quite some time. It was only natural for her to be questioned.

Rem said he explained that he dragged Setuna into the shadows by the will of Craig Zem-Midnas. In fact, I'm pretty sure she didn't have anything of her own will then. Some words and deeds were like regaining oneself in the dark world. Lem was being manipulated by Craig. No, in this case, it would be right to call it a dark black mask. Even Craig was just dominated by the Mask of Dispers.

Then it means she told us about what happened in the dark space that Craig created. Of course, it was an event as far as she could tell, and while she was unconscious, she wanted Setuna to hear it, and she said she had gained recognition.

And while Craig's actions clearly stated that they were due to Craig's own ambitions and not Zibel's will, reassuring Zibel officials, including Hermaine-Sector, the incident in which Setuna was taken to Shadow Country still seemed to have been blamed on Zibel. It's not that Gibbel is irrelevant, but it's not that a country called Gibbel is bad.

"It would be nice if my suspicions cleared up."

"Even if the suspicions are clear, it doesn't change the fact that the Reapers kidnapped your husband and tried to kill him."

"Yes, I am."

"Gibbel's liability is inevitable."

General Hermine once again apologizes for Craig's rampage and declares that Zibel will compensate Setuna and Gandia. He also made it clear that he would not make any remarks in the territorial division of Kruselk, and that Haska's right of occupation would also be withdrawn.

It was taken for granted that Setuna had exterminated the Reaper forces, with the exception of Lem. There is also the fact that it was Setuna who would have been killed had he not fought back, and that it was the Reaper forces who had gotten their hands on it first. Neither did Gibbel say anything about losing the Reaper Squad. There can't be a right to say something to them who didn't know what the Reapers were doing.

It seems that Hermine would have had to remain silent if the coalition leaders had stunned him.

Gibbell may have lost everything he could have gained in this battle by one of Craig's hands. No, I even lost the power of war I had from the beginning. Zibel's strongest group of fighters, the Reaper Troops, had comparable fighting power to The Lion's Tail. It would be a big pain in the ass. I can only be a bad hand, but I can't blame General Hermine for all that. It was Craig who took the action, and it was the dark black mask who poked and moved Craig. It had nothing to do with Hermaine-Sect.

That's also the problem.

Lem was the only one in the Reaper Corps who survived, explaining that it was because he lost his mind first, and that he pushed it through with it, even though he had doubts. I don't want to explain that the dead are provisionally resurrected, etc. No one would believe me from what I've told you, and it didn't seem to say that the identity of the Reaper unit was a bunch of dead people, etc. Speaking of which, the extra mess just swells up. The fact that we were adding a group of dead people to our distribution may increasingly isolate Gibbel. Lem couldn't have done that to his country. I don't even have to.

Rem's position seems to be that the Reaper III still belongs to Zibel's Reaper unit. but that's also until this battle is over, she said.

Rem said one Hermine came under question-attack after a question-and-answer tournament by coalition leaders. So she was stuck wondering if she was sure Craig was dead, and also asked if she knew who Craig was, but she replied that Craig's death was definite. She doesn't know who Craig is, and she's not interested. Craig followed me because he was Craig.

Hermine said she didn't need anything more, but from the mouthfeel, she knew who Craig was.

"Does your husband know?

"Oh. I saw it. Face Under the Mask"

It reminded me of the death face of Alju Ray-Gibelle. He never died satisfied. Desperate in despair. All I can say is that look is awesome.

"But let's be the one who doesn't know?

"No, it was a face I knew."

"Your husband?

Rem must have been surprised because it is hard to imagine that Setuna has a face that he found out to the Gibels other than the Rems. Gandhia's relationship with Gibelle is never good, and AC is thin. It's not strange to have interactions with military officials and royal marquis nobles in other countries, if you're in a position as good as Setsuna, but you've never heard of Gibelle's humans interacting with Setsuna. If so, it may be known within Gibelle.

"... you want to know?

"No...... let's do it. I don't need to know who Captain Craig is."

She broke off the subject about Craig with it. Ten years, he's the one I depended on. At the end of the day, I didn't know the thought of being betrayed or even wanting to tarnish Craig in my memory. Craig used candy and whips separately to master the Reaper Squad, and when it was sweet, it was very sweet. Perhaps it was natural for Rem to miss it.

The shock of being betrayed by such an opponent must be enormous, but she didn't show how she was suffering about it. Maybe he's holding it in his chest and enduring it.

"So, how did you explain your current position?

"Uncle Setuna asked me to re-employ you."

"Re-employment...... hey"

"Well, I'm a Gibbel person now, so there's nothing I can do about it."

She said that when the battle was over, she was going to pluck Gibbel out. Because as long as you belong to Gibelle, you can't be on Setuna's side.

"You don't always have to be on your side"

Setsuna looked at the ceiling. No matter how far away you are, your connected life will never be interrupted. As long as Setuna is alive, it's impossible for her to die either.

It seems that's what synchronization of life is.

"Whatever your husband's intentions, I want to be on your side."

Setuna looked at her unexpectedly as Rem had said something unexpected. And I'm surprised her face was right around the corner.

"I heard your voice in the darkness, in a world of nothing, just waiting for doom"

Big, beautiful eyes, staring at Setuna.

"Rem - It's just that the words you called me brought me back to this world again."

Not a servant, but the true meaning of being a lem. True voice. That's why it resonates with my heart. Strike the chest.

"Because that's the light for me."

She crossed the darkness of despair.
