At the center of pure white different spaces, she was there.

Sheila.

Sheila Lewe-Abbard.

Being the Princess of Abard, she has the alias of the Beast Princess. That had to do not only with the battle like a beast, but also with the ability of Heart of Beast. Sheila's Summoning Armed Heart of Beast not only acts on Sheila's own flesh and greatly enhances her physical abilities, but also has the ability to alter her appearance. I guess that change in appearance became known as the Beast Princess because it is beastly.

When one of Heart of Beast's abilities, Cat Eye, was activated, the cat's ears and tail grew in her body. In the case of another ability rabbit ear, the ear and tail of the rabbit.

And now again, there was a huge change in her appearance.

It was as if the vast gray hair was tangled all over her body carrying Heart of Beast and covered in pure white body hair. Fox ears grew from between his hair, and nine tails stretched out of his glutes. The great nine tails appear to emit a pale light.

I mean, she was a nine-tailed fox.

And you can see from the orbit of those nine tails that grew out of her body creating this different space. It was curved large from behind her to create a huge spherical space. That's how huge the tail is. Is it temporarily huge or is it originally that big? Probably the former. It's always too inconvenient to be huge.

Second, I realize.

Maybe the giant nine-tailed fox is also the fantasy these nine tails were creating.

Sheila opened her lid, which was closed. Vain blue eyes look at this one. Open your mouth.

"Setuna......"

She came down slowly. It was not released from the Nine Tails, but the Nine Tails stretched and brought her down to the ground.

"Finally, you're here."

"Oh. Here he comes."

Setuna smiled back at Sheila. This is the time to laugh. If you try it on her, it's because it's a situation where you can't laugh and wait. Tell.

Pick me up.

"... please don't"

Sheila turned her gaze and leaned down. Just as you don't want to see Setuna smile, so you don't want to hear those words.

"That's enough."

"What is it?"

"Let me finish this already. Kill me. You'll have to kill me."

To Sheila's plea, Setuna has no words to return.

"You can do it, if you want. You've killed countless human beings and Imperial Demons before, you can do it. There shouldn't be anything like killing me."

If that's what they say, maybe it is, too.

In fact, it's easy to kill.

One swing of the spear attaches a piece.

It's easy. Perhaps Sheila will die without ever feeling any pain and without even having time to perceive that she is dead. It must be like a tranquil death, perhaps an easier way to die than anything else. Most of all, it's not easy to kill someone. It leaves something with a bad aftertaste. I'm sure he keeps getting annoyed. I can't forget.

It's not the same person you've killed before.

Sheila and I were too deeply involved.

If I hadn't been so involved, if I hadn't known about Sheila, I wouldn't have hesitated to kill her either. When the nine-tailed fox appeared and began to ravage the battlefield, he would have gone first to shoot him. I would have tapped into everything and ended it. But the reality is, it didn't. Because Setuna found out about Sheila. I recognized Sheila and touched Sheila's thoughts. I even know what Sheila thinks and wants.

Sheila just wanted a peaceful day at the royal palace.

It was no longer easy.

My mother self-determination, and my father died.

My uncle became an enemy.

Nowhere, like where she is.

No wonder Sheila wanted to die in despair. If the result is this outburst, the only thing Setsuna can do is stop it.

But there are several ways to stop the rampage.

One is to kill Sheila. That's what she wants. But I can't. That can't be done.

"I've come this far."

Sheila said.

(So far...?)

I suppose you are referring to the fox of the Nine Tails that ravaged the royal palace, the king's capital, and the battlefield. Indeed, the fox of Nine Tails destroyed the royal palace, destroyed the king's capital, and also destroyed the battlefield. It was not a strange place to turn everything against the enemy, and in fact, the armies of the Four Kingdoms united against the Fox of Nine Tails. An army that was supposed to be hostile joined hands and opposed a common enemy. Neither is it because the fox of Nine Tails reigned as if it were a symbol of calamity.

I guess that's what Sheila did to muster all the hostility and killing on herself.

But.

"There's only one way to kill me now. Kill me, it's all over. Gandhia may lose his righteousness..."

"Oh, I don't care."

Setsuna walked over to Sheila.

"It's about Gandhia, not what you think."

Gandia's righteousness, Gandia's future, that's what the military, generals and politicians think, not what Sheila thinks.

"You just have to think about you."

"... yeah"

Small, she nodded. After I nod, I come up with my face. My eyes are as vain as ever, at the bottom of my disappointment. I don't see any light there. Losing sight of the light and wandering through the darkness - looking like that, Setsuna felt her chest tightened.

"But no more, no more. Not any more. I can't do this anymore. I can't be me. Kill me. Let me finish. Everything, just let me get out of here."

"I get it. I want to die."

That's all that happened.

You'll want to die, too.

From the end of the Kruselk war until today, there were so many things about whether her heart ever rested. All that happened was to attack, erode and break her heart. Some of them risked their lives for her, but she made things worse, the phrase that ruined those one's thoughts. Though there was no other way than to do so, there's no other way for her to be driven by regret and self-blame. And the fact that she was willing to kill her real mother was enough to give Sheila a sense of despair. The traitor's brand. Gandia invasion. What happened in Wang Du.

I lost my parents in front of me.

It also made sense for Sheila to be self-inflicted.

Even Setuna, if it suited the same eyes, might have despaired. I may have despaired and wanted to die.

So I gave up, but it's a different story.

"I don't understand......!

Sheila screamed, shaking her hair. My hair, which had grown and grown before, wobbled violently.

"Yeah?"

"If I know, why won't you kill me...! Kill me now! Now, come on, hurry up...!

Sheila's cry for death pierces Setuna's ear.

"Don't rush it. We have time."

"Hey......! It's over."

"What?"

I don't have anything.

Sheila shook her head.

"Nothing, there's nothing left"

"What?

"My mother and father have lost it. The royal palace, the king's capital - the place to return, the reason to live, the point of fighting, everything, lost."

She's been saying that.

(Royal Palace... Wangdu...)

I guess I tried to lose it.

To die.

To be killed,

If you destroy everything, if you become a mass of atrocities, if you don't have the help to stop them except to kill them, you must kill them no matter how many setunas they are. Even if Setuna took care of Sheila, if she ran out of options other than killing her, she wouldn't hesitate. How could I know that such thoughts would have rambled her?

Setuna has been protecting Sheila ever since. That's what I promised. That's why I had to run wild. Because if we don't, we know Setuna won't protect Sheila from anyone. Because we know, we can only run wild and be all enemies.

I guess doing so fueled Setuna's decision, but in the end, that couldn't have happened.

Setuna looked into Sheila's eyes.

"I'm here."

"... what..."

I'm right here.

Setuna heard the world shake as she tried to get close to her in a daze.
