At the end of a metastasis that fell into a rift in dimension.

"Gee, ah... gu..."

I wake up in pain, and the pain runs even more trying to move in surprise at it.

Perhaps the pain had already run as a result of the turnaround. Thanks to you, my eyes woke up in an instant.

"Morning, Mr. Tallow, if it hurts, you can't move. If you tell me, I'll give you a hand."

"Ah, Sigal..."

Looking around, it was apparently like a bed in the mansion.

Looks like Sigal's the only one around.

I just turned my neck to make sure that was all, and the pain runs again.

"When..."

The pain is hitting my whole body with the recoil of immortality. I knew my full battle time was too short.

But this time, I'm keeping my consciousness right after that, so I can do better... but it's not.

I can't remember a moment before I leave the ruins.

Square reinforcement can't be used without qigong immortality.

It would be easier if I could use the power I gathered with osmotic immortality.

Well, thanks to osmosis, I was able to move my body until I went outside the ruins.

"Sorry, Sigal, I've had a suspicious memory for a little while before I left the ruins, but I don't know what happened after that."

"Oh, yeah,"

Show my words how surprised Cigal is.

What's that reaction? Did I mess with something?

"Uh, until you left the ruins, you remember, don't you?

"Yeah, I have suspicious memories from the area where I saw the exit light"

"Then you'll be fine. Mr. Tallow came out on his own, and I just kept this and went to sleep."

With that said, Sigal shows the crystal where the Demon Man is sealed.

Apparently, you didn't do anything particularly wrong, you were just surprised that you didn't remember. Good.

"I'm surprised you hugged me at the same time you kept it and fell asleep."

"Uh... sorry"

I only expect it because I don't remember it, but maybe that's why I only remember it to the exit.

I guess I went outside, put Sigal's figure in my sight, and totally lost my mind.

"Haha, you don't have to apologize. You're tired, aren't you? Good luck."

I apologize, Sigal strokes his head gently and gives it back.

He worked hard for me, so he worked tiredly and naturally.

It's like a habit to apologize, and I don't think she really blames me.

But when you work like this, I'm glad you did.

"Thank you, Sigal"

"Hehe, you're welcome. If you fall again, I'll carry you home."

"What, Sigal took you home? Gret, you're here."

"Mr. Tallow, because it's light, small for a man, and easy to hold and carry"

Oh, something came gushing. No, yeah, come on, I'm giving up. I'm giving up.

I know you're never gonna grow taller anymore, and I know you're not offended by Sigal, but I'm gonna come gussy.

I need to reopen this neighborhood... I can't tell you about Inai.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Speaking of which, Mr. Tallow, I thought you cared a little about the little things."

"Un, maa"

I think Mr. Sigal is getting too big at an awesome rate to say I'm small.

No, even if I pull that out, it won't make any difference that I'm small after all.

Besides the fact that more than 180 men in this world seem normal, more than 170 women seem normal.

I've never seen a man my age before.

Oh, except for Ligarat. Because there were people there who were racially small.

"And the fact that Mr. Tallow fell means he did everything he could, right? Was the Demon Man that strong after all?

I couldn't answer Cigal's question right away.

Because I didn't understand.

I did everything I could to get down before I could measure the strength of my opponent.

"... maybe, strong,"

"Think?"

Sigal tilts her neck in my vague reply.

When I saw how it was going, I felt like I was saying something weird.

"I know it was somewhat strong from a handful of visible moves, but I don't get it well because I slaughtered and killed them with all my might before the opponent gave them all"

"Yes, what... that's unusual for Mr. Tallow."

"Rare... huh? Yeah, I think so."

I've never fought as hard as I could from the beginning, except against someone I thought was unpleasant.

Not to mention, like this one, there's no way you could have accidentally killed him.

Still, I had to do that this time. I had to.

I know that I have never lost a battle in a situation where I could lose.

All the battles you've ever done that you should never lose are battles that you can't possibly lose.

Only battles that seemed to lose, those that lost, those that lost and are okay.

But not this time. You can never lose.

That's not like before, because losing is a fight that leads directly to death.

Even if you fall in recoil, no, you can't be flabbergasted because there's a time limit on having recoil. So before they were willing to fight, while they were insulting me, they slaughtered me with all their might.

"The ruins will never fail."

Squirting like that, he grips the bush even as he realizes the pain runs.

The recoil is painful, but it still cages strength in the body.

This is not a job that can fail. It's a job you should never fail.

Don't hesitate to kill someone.

"Cheng Cheng, that sort of thing... I knew I was still no match for your sister..."

To my grunt, Sigal said something like that with a slight chirp.

I don't know what that word means, but I only turn the gaze of doubt to Cigal.

"I knew it too, but you still can't."

But Sigal overlaps words he doesn't understand any better.

I don't know what you're talking about, but there's no way Sigal can compare to Inai.

At least for me, they're both good daughters.

"For me, Sigal and Inai are both..."

"It's okay, I know how Mr. Tallow feels. It's not like that, it's simply a confrontation in me."

It's in Cigal, against Inai?

Whatever you say about blocking my words, I guess I'm not convinced there.

"But shall I take action on that now? Mr. Tallow is more important than that."

"What, me?

"Yeah, Mr. Tallow. I figured out why your sister said something was wrong. Mr. Tallow, you were quite full."

"Uh, no, nothing--"

Trying to deny Sigal's words, she hugs my head gently.

And I started whispering gently in my ear.

"Fine, don't deny it. It's good to be sweet. You can say it's tough. You can tell me you're still working on it. I know it's hard not to pretend to be okay."

Sigal's body temperature came through gently, and her words rang out because she was holding her head.

That was very comfortable and the hand I was holding was naturally open.

"You couldn't afford to look at them, could you? Because you have to win, because you can't lose, because you can't die... you were scared."

"-"

Sigal's overlapping whispers give me zero tears from the edge of my eyes. I can see the cataclysm and my body trembling.

Words that came out of her mouth, fears that I didn't even understand, came out on the table.

The trembling hand was holding her as she felt the pain. I couldn't help but hug him.

I couldn't help it.

"Ciga, me, no, no"

Words come out of my mouth that I don't even know what I'm trying to say.

I'm not sure myself if I want to make excuses, affirmations, or denials.

It remained a messy emotion, just clinging to Cigal.

"It's okay, it's okay. Mr. Tallow came back here alive, and I'm here. It's okay. It's good to be sweet. You don't have to worry about me because I'm the other guy. Because I love both strong and weak Tallow."

"Ugh... come on...!

However, I can only whimper in gentle Sigal words with thoughts that don't get me involved.

That's how for a while until my heart settled down, I kept hugging Cigal, who kept speaking tender words in my ear.
