"Can't you sleep?

"Huh...?

Speaking at the end of the patrol, she looked at this one, surprised harder than she had imagined. Red dyed hair with a special dye shakes in the moonlight. The flaming red, vibrant color is a curse on herself, she said. They say it's a commandment. Not much of a decade spent in Dinobot Cave. She has had too many compatriots, relatives in her hands. I wouldn't have survived if I hadn't killed him. If you don't survive, you can't even fulfill your petition. So she became a ghost and survived a hell of a decade. And to remember that thought, I dyed my hair red.

It was also a return of interest to my father.

"Ugh, yeah... kinda... I can't sleep, I guess"

Miryu seemed to have a little trouble responding to this inquiry. The result is an ambiguous reply.

Setuna walked over to her, relieved by the calm of the breeze at night as it blew through. A passage connecting the Tae Spirit Palace with another palace. Sometimes it's midnight and it's not otherwise popular. Nor were the security personnel currently seconded by the City Guard stationed on the Thai Spiritual Palace side. Perhaps there are two people on the other side, who are watching for anything to try to break into the Thai Spiritual Palace.

Milyu had crossed the aisle and was able to hit the night breeze just outside the Tae Temple because she was eligible to enter and leave the Tae Temple. Regardless, Miliu is not the only one. All the faces of "Lion's Tail" are eligible for access to the Thai Spirit Palace. So are the Black Beasts.

In the first place, there was no need to tighten security in the Heavenly Wheel Palace more than the average human being or outsider would let in. Focusing on Heavenly Wheel Palace and external surveillance is what the Guard should do, and Setsuna has complained that way, making the security of the Tae Spirit Palace thinner.

It would mean that this is how I got the chance to talk to Miliu alone.

She didn't move. He watched Setuna walk over, keeping his body in the column trunk. I didn't even stop it, which means I didn't even refuse. That alone made Setuna feel a little relieved. Miryu might not be able to get back on his feet for a while if he refuses.

I thought about that because she had a different look than usual.

It was Miliu who jumped at me no matter what the situation was if I found Setuna. I don't know what in her makes me do that, but anyway, I don't have any resistance to jumping on or hugging Setuna, but rather behave as if it's even hard to breathe if I'm not. That's her, Setuna recognizes. Setuna isn't the only one. A lot of people who know Miliu would see her that way. And that wasn't a big mistake.

But now she didn't show one of those bareback gestures. Where I wouldn't bother to bury the sense of distance lying between Setuna and myself, they weren't. That's why I don't feel lonely, but I felt uncomfortable.

When Setuna reached next to her, she tried to keep her back in the column as opposed to her. I feel gaze. Miliu was staring at Setuna.

"Setuna is the one who can't sleep?

"The noise that's been going on since this morning has gone away all at once. Something's wrong."

"Are you restless?

Milyu laughed small. Maybe he thought it was something rare. There was basically no such thing as Setuna having a sleepless night. Though the result of a rigorous workout was almost exhaustion of both the sperm and the roots to fall asleep, even under the watchful eye of Reaper, there was no such thing. At any given time, I slept for once, and I'm glad to say that walking around in the middle of the night like this is rare.

"Maybe like that"

Affirming, Miliu has been rebelling for a while.

"Me too, I guess so"

"Restless?

"I'm restless... I'm restless"

"... something happened?

"... yeah"

Miliu nodded in a small way, a cursory phrase. Keep your gaze off the courtyard. In the courtyard she overlooked, there was a creek and a small bridge. In addition, stone statues mimicking dragons and a wide variety of stoneworks were arranged, and just looking around seemed interesting.

Setuna looked for words, shifting her gaze to the side of Miliu. She also looked for words because she could see them from the look on her face. hesitant and lost, but shaking in her eyes. Beautiful eyes. Staring at me, I was so beautiful that I even forgot to say the words. Never before have I looked at her eyes so closely.

The silence of the night makes it possible.

Miliu opened his mouth only after the night wind blew between them and caressed his cheeks softly.

"There was a lot going on. Really, a lot."

"Various, huh?"

"Yeah...... a lot. Too much has happened. I don't know what I am."

"So you looked anxious?

"Do you look anxious?

Miliu, with a decent face, has looked back at Setuna. Setuna replied, loving her reaction like that.

"It's when I get back."

When I came back, I ended my battle with Ragna in the forest of Shuilong Lake, just after I had finally returned to Heavenly Wheel Palace with my thoughts. Miliu, who has been face-to-face since last night, looked somewhat anxious. It's going to disappear now, that look. I wanted to speak to you right away, but the situation didn't allow it. Ragna's noise fuelled it further, and the birthday party kept the two apart. Spiritual distances, not physical distances, kept them away.

There was nothing more to re-pack the distance than waiting for the situation to settle down. In other words, the opportunity to listen during the feast could not have arisen. I thought I had no choice after tomorrow, arrowhead, I got a chance to be alone with her. That's it now.

"... that's what it looked like?

"Yeah."

Immediately, she laughed after a while of confusion.

"Hehe."

"What the fuck?

I wasn't uncomfortable with the laughter, but I wanted to know why I laughed. When it comes to misunderstandings, if she's been laughed at, she has to wipe away the discomfort caused by it. But that was the idea of a misunderstanding, which was obvious from the look on her face.

Look at this one, Miliu, because he had a full smile.

"Setsuna, you're taking a good look at me"

"... what are you doing?

"'Cause I think I've noticed I look anxious because I've been watching it a lot."

"No, I'm not. That's not what I'm saying."

"Huh?"

"You've decided to watch."

Setsuna had taken it for granted, but it seems the word was shocking to Miliu. She stiffened her expression in dismay. It wasn't until a few seconds later that Miliu uttered the word.

"... Ha, ha, ha. Yes... right? You're looking at me, aren't you? You've been watching me, haven't you? Be sure of me, too."

"Yeah. I was watching you."

Setsuna looked overhead. Numerous stars blink in the clear night sky. The moon was also projecting vast amounts of light toward the earth, and the softness, tenderness, of its blue and white light now seemed to resonate in the mind.

Glad to hear it.

It was evident in the moonlight that Miliu's cheeks were in a red tide. Healthy white skin is dyed red in the blue and white light. Setsuna was more than happy that she was happy. Still, I guess it's a bad habit to ask.

"Really?"

"Yeah. Will you keep watching?

She looked embarrassed somewhere. From time to time, it was one of Miliu's charms to look like a girl. The face of a fascinating adult woman and the face of a maiden in love are inherent without contradiction. It was that imbalance that was elevating a woman named Miliu-Libaien to a more attractive existence that Falia also almost admitted.

"Of course."

"Heh heh... well, guess what, right?

"Hmm?"

Setsuna learned to be hooked on Miliu's words. The anxieties and fears lurking behind the delightful expression were all over the voices. What do you need to fear? Setuna doesn't know, that's why we're caught.

As she left the column, she went into the shadow of the aisle. A shadow hides her expression. It means you can no longer read emotions from your expression.

"Even if I lose myself, for example, then, you'll take good care of it, won't you?

"Lose sight or deal with it?

Setsuna turned against Miliu's words and turned into a strange face. I don't know what that means. Even if I can understand the meaning of the word, I don't see why Miliu is mouthing such a thing. What does it mean to lose sight of yourself? What does it mean to deal with it?

"What are you doing here?"

"Necessary."

"What is it?"

"One day, I may lose sight of myself. Then, Setsuna, I want to die in your hands."

"... I don't know what that means."

Setsuna also left the columns. In the aisle where no one is, face her. I don't know the look yet. To be able to see the darkness, it takes time. There was also a distance. She stood in the middle of the aisle.

"You don't know, do you? Me too, I only understand vaguely, but I'm sure I will."

She has told, sadly, but with a resolute voice.

"That's my destiny, Miliu-Levaire."

Leviath and she named themselves.

Not Revien, Leviath.

I couldn't help but feel something ominous about that name, because the thing about Olias-Leviath was past my brain. Olias-Leviath was an armed summoner who tormented the Gandhian army - and hence Setuna - over two wars, a user of pseudo-summoning magic, and the father of Miliu's fruit.
