"Is Lyohan safe?

"Oh. I'm safe. Faria, Ruufa, everyone."

"Oh well... I'm relieved to hear that"

It wasn't until Setsuna heard about the backdrop of the Second Lyohan Defense Battle that Milyu looked relieved. Speaking of why it became such a story, it was because Miliu had spoken of the natural doubt that Setsuna was here, and Setsuna had to speak for the reasons that led to Lyohan. Until then, I'm just scratching and talking. Explaining in detail would be better when you have a little more time.

As Miliu held her knees, she sighed.

"I can't believe that was happening while we were here... yeah, of course, worst of all, even though I imagined it could happen..."

"I wish I could get in touch with Lyohan."

"Willedo here doesn't trust humans. We can't talk about that."

"Well, I know. But I think Faria was worried about Milius and the others. Faria isn't the only one. Everybody."

"Yeah......"

Miliu exhales deeply.

"Asura pissed me off"

Naturally, though not necessarily, it's not hard to imagine what kind of sword screen Asura approached Miliu with. Asura admires Miliu like a sister. If it was like spending days without any contact from Miliu, it was only natural to worry so much that I couldn't be there or even stay.

During the search mission, Asura, who had a cool face, must have also exploded in the accumulation of thoughts as soon as she saw Miliu safely.

He said he was worrying everyone too much.

"Sort of. But it wasn't a mistake."

"Really?

"It would have been a lot more troublesome if the people here and Ende had started a war in the middle of the war with the Divine Army."

It would be an indisputable fact that the restoration of Malga-Asr's consciousness brought stability to the situation in Agatara, which was not precarious. If Marga-Asr stays in a coma and Ende interferes, Agatara is rough, and there may have been a battle with Ende, Miliu said. She therefore argues that the therapeutic act by Elina was not pointless. And Setuna also endorsed that claim.

Compared to the Divine Army, which operated countless divine men as a force, it's no big deal, such as the power of the country of Willedo called Agatara and Ende. But if Willedo's army appears on the battlefield while the Lyohan army is concentrated in the battle against the Divine Army, that will not be the case. At a time when we need to divide our forces for the army of the Imperial Devil, it can only be troublesome.

In that sense, it was significant that Willeds, the outsiders, did not enter the Second Defense War. If there were cross spears in it, the Lyohan army might not have maintained the front until Setsuna reached Lyohan.

"If Setuna's here, I don't think there's anything wrong with that."

"If we don't make it, it doesn't make sense"

"That's right... I mean, where and what was Setuna doing until then? Dear dear, dear Faria."

"... there's something profound going on."

"I guess that is. I've left Master Faria alone for over two years that you don't love. That must be a fuzzy circumstance. You're lying."

"You have thorns."

"Well, it's settled."

"Mm..."

Setsuna flashed at Miliu's sharp words. There are no more words to give back than her saying is more correct. She's certainly right. It has been decided.

"For more than two years, I didn't even have a tone out. Do you know how much Faria and everyone were worried about you?

"And Miliu?

"... not naturally"

She flaunted her shoulders, perhaps because it was too obvious.

"I've always been worried. I thought you got caught up in" The Great Destruction ”. I don't think he's alive anymore. Setsuna can't die easily... even if you think so, Setsuna is human..."

"I could die. It could be dead. I just think about that, so I had to make sure I didn't think of you. Otherwise, I'll be desperate."

"Miliu......"

"And I've changed. I became someone who could live without thinking about you. You can live on two tripods with your beloved best apprentice. Whatever happens."

It was a powerful milieu, but its side makes it very weak.

"Yes... I was thinking"

"But I can't. I have you. You're right in front of me, alive. It's the same as before, and I'm here. Why not? Why not? Why, I like you so much."

"Don't ask me."

"Yeah. I know. It's all my problem. So much so that Setuna isn't one bad thing, I know. You are a light to me. It's only natural to be like someone else while you're losing your light."

"Yeah?"

"So from now on, I am who I am."

"Oh, hey..."

"This is the happiest thing I've ever done."

"Didn't you change?"

"You've changed. Everything's changed. On top of that, I like you. I love Setuna-Kamiya."

"Miliu... you"

"Don't say anything. Let me hear you."

Miliu seemed to have his ears on Setuna's back. I guess he's also trying to hear a heartbeat over his back. That was nothing more than the unique behavior of a woman named Miliu-Levaire.

She was the heir to Leviath's Knowledge. A curse that has been handed down from Levia as cotton, part of it, in her head, she says, is constantly overflowing with sound. The enormous amount of information that has been passed down and piled up is flooding into my head as a sound. The sound disturbs her consciousness and causes her to lose her sense of normality. It is Leviath's curse that eventually gets his consciousness anointed with that information and ends up being a monster who looks like one.

There's only one way to quiet the sound in your head.

They say there is nothing but capturing sound from the outside. Noise is fine. Anyway, there was no other way than to strike the sound off with sound, and for that reason she hated the silence. Silence is nothing but a demon who takes away her humanity. However, even so, I don't always hear some kind of sound. This is especially true when you sleep at night. Who likes to sleep in the noise?

Miliu, it wasn't. Only in the midst of the murmurs can you sleep slowly.

So how do you sleep peacefully in a space like the Great Spirit Palace, where there is no murmur? Speaking of which, I didn't want to do what I did now.

You listen to other people's heartbeats and pulses, and then you undo the murmurs in your head.

"The sound of Setuna......"

"... doing this reminds me of the old days"

"I don't think it was that long ago."

"Two years..."

Two years.

I can't think of it as just two years, because there was too much going on in the meantime. That's how Setuna's outlook on life and values changed. Feel isolated for more than the time flowed. It is for this reason that reunion with everyone has been so delightful and endlessly delightful.

"Instead, Setuna's hair, isn't it overstretched?

Miloo greeted Setsuna with her back hair. Indeed, it is not long enough to grow in about two years. Just because you didn't have time to cut your hair doesn't mean you can't stretch this far in less than two years. The actual time flowed was two years and a little. But the time Setuna felt was longer. Longer, and that's what I realized the way it was when I forgot the reality.

In true trials in hell, yes.

"Oh... a lot's happened"

"You're not gonna let me hear that?

"Not now, okay?"

"Yeah... now, that might be nice"

Miliu laughed calmly. He reaches out to his shoulders with his ears stuck to Setuna's back. I kept my ears off and put my strength into the hand I put on my shoulder. And I tried to hold Setuna from behind me, wrapping my arms around Setuna's neck. She weighs in, her abundant breasts are fiercely assertive, and she puts pressure on her back. I guess she doesn't care, and Setuna was used to it. The intensity of her physical contact has hardly changed since I met her.

So I guess so.

So I remembered the loneliness between just a little distance I felt right after the reunion and now. Miliu is honest because he's going to bury it at an overwhelming rate when he wonders if it's gone. And it's in her honest attitude like that that she remembers her nostalgia, and her loneliness blows away.

"I wish time would stop like this"

Miliu whispers in Setuna's ear. Sweet exhalation. Regular breathing. Nostalgic, loving. Setuna superimposed the hand she had placed on Elina's head over Miliu's right hand.

"I wonder why you're so kind."

"Kind?"

"Yeah. It's sweet, Setuna is"

Miliu's voice was also so gentle that there was nothing he could do about it, Setsuna narrowed her eyes.

"Against anyone."

It was just after Miliu snapped to give something up.

Suddenly, a severe tremor struck Setuna. The sway that the earth was in wrath seemed felt not only by Setuna, but also by Miliu, and by Elina. When Miloo stuck to Setsuna's body, Elina woke up.

"An earthquake?

"It's never happened since the Great Destruction, has it?

Miliu comes very calmly. Whether or not it should be said that it is adorable to let Setuna go instead of the chill of that voice.

Earthquakes have been a rare phenomenon in this world since the time when the continent was one. In recent years, there has been no record of earthquakes in small groups of countries, and it could be called a world unrelated to earthquakes.

"What's going on?

Rising to hold sleeping eye Elina, Setsuna admitted as a real feeling that the wobble would increase in intensity, keeping Miryu in the state she held from her back. And it turns out that the tremor is not apparently due to the shaking of the earth itself or anything else, but to someone sifting through this Great Spiritual Palace.

The source of the earthquake is coming to the room where Setuna and the others are.
