I woke up in the middle of a dream, going up the stairs. Stairs to true hell. At that time, I remember being happy that it was something that I could finally complete my trials and return to this world, although I didn't even feel like rising to heaven. I didn't know that would happen that time, I didn't even think about it. I couldn't imagine.

It's no exaggeration to say hell itself. Who can imagine that further hell awaits, etc.

No, it was definitely something I should have expected. I was the fool I didn't even anticipate, and whenever I remembered my simplicity, my stupidity to the point of purity, which was ascending the stairs in a spirit, my embarrassment sprang up and I was bored.

Right now, yes.

When I was ashamed of my stupidity and tried to move my body unconsciously of its embarrassment, there was something in my hand that touched me, and I became stiff. I drowned in a long and painful dream. I forgot too much about reality. Breathing sounds are tickling my ears. The sound of a healthy and restful breath. Surrender yourself to Setuna and rest in peace with Faria. Setuna remembered sleeping on the same bed as Faria, wrapped in thick duvets and blankets. Embarrassment springs up in the sweetness of my sleep, but it was a completely different emotion than shaming my stupidity.

In the darkness of a dark night, Setuna could not even be bored and had nothing but boredom in her unmistakable embarrassment. I can't move. If you move cheaply, you could wake Faria. She sleeps in peace. It has been heard every day for several days now that it was far from sleep for her, who took on the heavy responsibility of goddess of war and continued to work outside of the public and private sectors. That means that sleeping with Setuna in this way leads to her sleep, and that she has been sleeping in peace for the past few days. I just didn't want to do anything that would interfere with her sleep like that.

Faria asleep, trying to bury her face in Setuna's chest. The look, I can't see it from here. I think that's just a shame. Setuna is the only privilege that can see her defenseless sleeping face. Although Setuna is not necessarily the only one who can touch the primitive parts of Faria-Aslalia as a human being and bump raw emotions into each other.

Leave Setuna alone, such as someone who can sleep with her like this.

Bite your happiness as you feel the temperature of one of your loved ones on your skin.

(I'm... you're happy)

Crush it all over your chest and look up at the ceiling. The darkness of the bedroom, which does not enter any of the outer light, has hidden even the shape of the ceiling in the darkness. No wind, no sound. What you hear is Faria's sleeping breath and the little noise produced by the sleeping minister. And pulse. Soon, Faria's right hand was touching Setuna's left ear. The blood flowing through Faria's hands is making a sound and shaking Setuna's tympanic membrane. It's like listening to her heartbeat. The sound of life.

Don't call it happiness, what do you call it?

(Yeah)

Setuna, in her heart, slowly withdrew her foreword. Happiness is not a story that has just begun. Haven't you always been happy from the start?

(From the beginning, all the time)

When I was tempted, there was only one parent.

I grew up alone with one mother and one child. But I never felt unhappy about it. Not once. My mother poured all her love into me. I'm not sure if my father's share had any thoughts, but anyway, I grew up with my mother's love in my eyes. It was nothing but happiness, and because of it, Setuna was survived.

Even after being summoned by another world, yes.

I was happy.

We were lucky.

All this time, I kept being blessed.

So even if something slightly unfortunate happened, it didn't snap and pushed me forward.

Beginning with a fateful encounter with Faria, Leongand, Lux, Luufa, Laxus, Cain, Miliu, Maria, Rem, Sheila, Ragna, Urk...... it is fair to say that there are countless fortunate patrols and that many of those encounters have grown Setuna and led us this far. Without an encounter, with all the unfortunate encounters, we might not have been able to live like this in itself. It wasn't strange that he was drooling wild somewhere, and in the first place, if it wasn't for Faria, he'd be burned to death by Cain's flames.

Setuna graciously shook as she lay her hand over Pharia's hand, which was touching her ear. She keeps sleeping well. Softly, softly, so as not to disturb that sleep.

I'll protect you.

Lux's words in Hell's final trials are still on my chest.

It wasn't Setuna who felt nothing for the appearance of a master who deeply regretted not being able to protect his loved ones, and even Lux, who had never been interested in others, could not have stayed or stayed if he thought that there was enough suffering to be so.

So.

Setuna, when she asked Maria about the current situation of the Phalia, had set Lyohan as her destination, without needing to be told. We had to get to Faria somehow. When I defended the one I loved, I made a promise to my master.

Promises must be kept.

(This time)

But to do so, once again, it was also true that we had to leave this Lyohan, and that was what weighed Setuna's attention. Said we met because of it. Finally, at last, with my thoughts, I was able to put my mind through each other, but I had to be separated.

Faria is a goddess of war. And he's a very strong man of responsibility. Whatever the reason, you won't leave Lyohan, and there's no way you can take him away by force or anything. This is not the way things are. If I had to save him from the assassination plot, and if I took him away for Setuna's aspirations, it would now be time for Faria to hate me.

If you're as prepared as you are to be to protect someone you love as you don't care how much they hate you, but if you don't always have to take them, it's not the story.

(You're here)

Keeping Faria's hand in his grip, Setuna whispered, voiceless.

I'm coming.

It can't even sound like her.

Still, Setuna couldn't help but stay.

Of course, I'm not talking about tomorrow or the day after. Still, there's something left to do in Lyohan. Until that's over, Setsuna was going to stay in Lyohan. Rigford and one of the Empires will forgive you for that much. The reason Setsuna went for Lyohan is to talk about it properly. They must also imagine that something unforeseen has happened and will take it into account.

If the guys at Lyohan cleaned up, then they were going to head back to Aleuteras first and rendezvous with Rigford and the others. And cross the sea plains and go for the Western Zaion Empire. That was the covenant with the Western Zaion Empire, and I had no intention of rebelling my covenant.

Until then, it means I'm in Lyohan.

There's only one thing left to do in Lyohan, Miloo. We're about to embark on a search for an investigation team led by Miliu, the unsub. I was willing to look for it on my own, even if the understanding of the Lyohan government did not come down. Naturally. Miliu and Elina are also important to Setsuna.

Setuna returned from hell to this world to protect one of her loved ones.

Is it too good when it comes to everything and nothing else is an exaggeration?

Then, it didn't take much until I fell asleep again. Now, I didn't dream. I just slept through the morning and woke up. When I woke up, I noticed that Faria was not in shape and was wrapped around a blanket by herself, and I remembered a little loneliness. Though we knew that was an idea as luxurious as it was, we had to think that Faria had been perfect for Setuna in the last few days.

Morning without Faria was an extremely rare thing.

It was when I was thinking of that as a blur.

Suddenly he heard a scream and Setuna jumped out of the futon.

It was Faria's scream.
