Mr. Iris has left one person behind to stop Merliah.
Whether she desperately punched the sturdy wall she created, the blood seeped out of my fist only polluted the wall.
"You can't waste Lord Illis' readiness"
Schiff said so with a sad face to me and Reefa trying to break the wall.
Even Schiff, I know he liked it and didn't say that.
Because I know, I don't like my helplessness right now.
"What can I tell Mr. Verse...!"
"... Kite, walk tight..."
Mr. Iris' golem has disappeared, so now he takes a dim path in the direction of the wind blowing as he asks Reefa to lend him his shoulder.
Lyme hasn't woken up yet and is still sleeping in my arms.
"Kite, it's premature to think Lord Iris is dead."
"But Schiff..."
Listen to Shiv's voice as Yulan wraps around his torso.
Schiff, walking side by side with us, opened his mouth as he gently proceeded.
"Meliá, the divine beast, called, emphasizes the relationship with the naughty. You understand that if you kill Lord Illis, you will be angry. They may take you hostage..."
"It's better than getting killed..."
If that happens, I'll do it. [M]
Desperately trying to be positive, I see something like a broken door in front of me.
"There's a breeze coming from up ahead!"
Half of the doors in both open shapes are broken and seem to fit inside from there.
When I went inside through the door - it went out into a large space with high ceilings.
There is something like a fountain in the center of the room, still running water. Around it was placed something like an unplanted flowerbed of flowers.
"Not the exit...!?"
But everywhere you look, it's over.
Seen, there was a hole in the wall in front of the ceiling that resembled a vent from which the wind sounded slightly.
On one side of the wall beneath it was painted something like a mural, with various demons...... no, no, no, there was a big blue dragon inside the mural that resembled Fili.
"No way, is this... a god beast?"
"This is it all?"
Red tiger wrapped in flames.
A black lion who is creating something like black ice around him.
A stag with a horn that emits a golden light.
Weird birds lurking in the clouds and wrapping thunder.
Butterflies with blade-like wings
A giant turtle with all those on its back.
There are many other drawings on one side of the wall that are faint and invisible.
In it, I find a painting of the god beast in one place.
"Big, snake?"
I don't have as many as three necks as Orochi.
Snakes wrapped around a place to sleep in the basement - I can only tell it's very big.
"Silver Snake Dragon, that's what I was called long ago."
Voice from behind.
When I realized that the voice belonged to Meliá, I looked back into the cold water.
"" Huh!? "
"No way, I didn't think I'd get lost in this place"
Have you caught up yet!?
Shit, there's no escape here.
Merliah threw something in front of us, dragging it with her right hand.
"I'll pay you back"
It was - Mr. Iris, who became a blurry figure - that was thrown to slip through the ground.
The clothes were full of coal and we rushed right over to her, completely unconscious.
"Oh, Mr. Iris!... Ah, Merliah, you are!"
"It's the most angry thing to do, but I did my best, too. Because I was careful not to crush the featherworms on top of them by overlapping them."
"That's why...!"
No, you can't.
Bumping anger here doesn't solve anything.
Only calmly, still early to give up.
Slowly, I took a small, deep breath and Meliá gave me a sad look.
"I make every effort for you, and I intend to do so in the future. But... doesn't Kate like being with me that much?"
"... oh, that's..."
According to the back of his brain, Merliah's memory.
I hesitate to answer when I hear in my memory her stretched hand and her clasp voice.
When she saw me like that, Meliá grinned.
"Now you've thought about my past?"
"Nah..."
"I know. But, uh... you're sympathetic."
Merliah closes her eyes to remind her of something.
Silent for a few seconds or so, she makes the bouncing voices sad and carefree.
"It was so painful then that my chest seemed to rip open...... I was sad. Because she left me chained... because she never left"
I'm terribly upset by Meliá in tears.
Weak, sitting back, she leaks her trembling voice as she covers her eyes.
"I don't like that thought anymore. So stay by my side"
Should I stay?
But if I leave her, I'll have the same grief over and over again...
If you're so confused that you don't even know it yourself, Reefa walks out before me.
On her knees she stares at Meliá, crying, a cold voice.
"Liar."
"... how awful..."
"Reefa?"
"Kite, don't be fooled"
She told me so strongly that she would stick her finger to Merliah.
"I don't know about that“ time, "but you're not sad at all.... Kite can fool you, but I can't fool you? To the habit of the divine beast, I am too deliberate. My sister's gorilla lies better."
"... hehe, hehe"
To Reefa, who told her to slap him off, Melia stood up and applauded with a thin laugh.
There were no tears that had been shed on that face until earlier.
"Wow, you're right. Aren't you just sharp at the beast's mercy? No, is it the beast that makes it sharp?"
……
"The woman abandoned us."
Meliá's gaze is directed at me.
On this occasion, I am the only one who understands what Merliah is pointing out.
A blonde woman in memory.
"He was a traitor who weighed man and divine beast and made man a priority. Well, I was saddened at first... but if you think about it, it turns out he was distinguishing us from humans. I never looked at it equally and decided that humans were weak - lean over there...... hehe"
Covering her mouth, she had a sunny grin that didn't fit into this situation.
"So I'm gone and clean. I mocked you as much as I could."
Was that a lie?
In my memory, I shouldn't have thought of that.
Then I didn't see what was ahead, but I never thought I was thinking about that.
Merliah looks at me again when I'm out of line.
"Earlier, I saw your reaction and I was sure."
……?
"You see us, the gods and the beasts and the humans alike. So you're standing by our side and thinking."
"What's wrong with that?"
"No, it's not crazy"
I shake my neck sideways, looking even happier with my question.
"What's strange is that all but you are human."
"Become!?"
Meliá slowly approaches us one step at a time.
Both Reefa and Schiff, who were looking at Mr. Iris, who had passed out, have exposed their vigilance, but still Melia keeps going without breaking her spare look.
"Hey, Master Kite. Why are we distinguished when we are the same creatures? Because you have great power? Because you don't understand? We're supposed to be soul-bearing creatures too..."
Soon you'll slip through Reefa lightly and stand in front of me, Meliá.
Reefa turned back to me, but her hand was grabbing my body.
They keep taking me away -!?
That's when I intuited - from a fountain right around the corner. Something blue hit Meliá and blew it away.
"Oh, I thought it was time to come out. Abominable Dragon, Feelyhert"
"Quah...!"
Body about three meters long.
Misty, beautiful scales, blue dragons supported by small limbs - Ferrihert stands in front of Meliá to protect us.
"Looks like Master Kate tried to be taken away and couldn't have been there or not."
"Kuh!"
I didn't know for a second what had happened to the unexpected appearance of Fili, but returned to me with a chirping sound guiding her me.
"Fili... Also, you helped me..."
"Quar!!"
He came again to help me, just as he did in the Kingdom of Filgen.
"I wonder where your opportunism would go without interfering with humans."
"... qua..."
"After all, Master Kate is special to you, too?"
Fili who will be silent.
Merliah smiles at me for laughing at her with her nose like that.
"Glad you have a water field nearby."
"Huh?"
"You can get out of here now. With the power of the dragon there."
"... quah"
... I heard, however, that Fili was moving Behemoth instantly to where he was.
Could it be possible to move something else via water?
"Will you allow me to leave?"
"I won't forgive you. I just want to say... that if I try to catch you here, I will be in contention with Ferrihelt. Then you won't have to do it either."
"Kuh......"
"That's not what I want either. So now I've decided to miss it."
And it's so light.
Does that mean you can take me out at any time?
... Now let's make it a priority to let Mr. Illis escape who has passed out.
"... Leefa, let's carry Mr. Iris"
"Ugh, yeah."
While Fili is on guard for Meliá, he moves Mr. Iris, who passed out on me and Reefa, to the fountain.
When I try to touch Fili, who was ready for the transfer after I made sure that there were proper Schiff, Lime and Yulan for me - Meria, who is accidentally staring at me by Fili, speaks up.
"Go ahead, don't worry"
"... Merliah"
"You're not sad, are you? I'm not giving up on you."
To Meliá's words, stop the hand that was stretching out to Fili.
Her words and memories have been caught up all along since earlier.
Honestly, I want to get out of here right away.
At some point, the clothes you're wearing are being forced to change into something else, and your body is already exhausted.
But still, I... I couldn't turn my back on a god beast named Merliah.
"... Fili, can I ask for it?"
"Kuh!"
You understand my decision, Phili replies well.
"Oh kite...!? What!?"
"Sorry!"
Grab Reefa's hand and let her touch Fili's body.
In the next moment, Fili becomes light with the Reefers and is sucked into the water of the fountain.
"... All right"
After confirming that I was alone on this occasion, I turn to Merliah.
She - she had a different, startling look on her face.
"Why... did you stay...?"
"Because I thought you were lying."
"Huh?"
Approaching Merriam defenselessly.
There's no Fili now, and she'll be able to catch me if it's easy.
But upset she didn't try to do it.
Reach out and grab Meliá's right hand - let it be shaken as it is.
"Now I can't run from you."
"Understand, I can't... I can't believe I'm lying..."
The power to be gripped back is terribly weak.
I looked at it at hand, and I couldn't afford a wolf before.
Let's talk.
"Ah, uh... no..."
Merliah's right, maybe I see God and the beast and man alike.
No matter how terribly strong you are, God Beast has - Merriam has the same emotions as man.
Because I have feelings, I lie, I get upset.
I will try to interact with her on my own from here on out, although it has been flushed until now.
