What I encountered further down the ruins was a black and white lion leaning by the throne where no one was sitting.
Beor Hidun.
In front of what can be called the origins of our power, I am irritated by the feeling of skin sticking to the kind of intimidation I felt when I was in Lion.
"Can you eat this sweet?"
But that tension also eats shoulder watermarks in the words of my sister, who is swallowing next door.
While my sister, isn't that a little too much...?
Though I don't know if it's blunt or big.
In fact, the problem is, this place is in a closed ruin for hundreds of years, so the confectionery that is served is also a suspicious substitute that you don't know where it came from.
I can also see Riefa wondering.
"Don't worry. This is a souvenir from Wangdu Itchy that my family bought the other day. Eat sweet and bitter sponge cake with citrus-derived mousse. I've got some jams for you to reword."
"Hey, hi."
Wait, I can't chase my thoughts!?
It's an unexpected object, you god beast! I know amazing human food!?
I don't hesitate to bring the treat at hand, but I think so.
"I'm Beor Hidun. ——— It is a god beast who presides over darkness and cold air, which was called Bern. You can call me whatever you want."
Bern, a divine beast who introduces himself in a temperate atmosphere.
He goes on to utter words as he holds a kind of strange thought in his appearance.
"Well, first, let's apologize for this mess."
"Unhandy……?"
"Alihara Kite was supposed to be here."
But he's not here.
Kate, you fell into a hole with Lasse.
Kate, your ability to adapt to the situation is magical at the earliest, so I don't have to worry about it after the fall... in the first place, was that hole made with the intention of dropping just Lasse?
"I made a hole to detach those who were with you, but the last pure demon - Alihara Kite - had no hesitation. I jumped into a hole to save the guy who fell."
"... so much that the Divine Beast fears?"
Trying to get away from us on purpose, that's not normal.
Who is Lasse?
First of all, I'm pretty sure it's not a decent organism.
"Yeah, but I decided to observe what happened after he and the guy fell and change my perception just a little bit"
"Change... what were you going to do when only Lasse was dropped?"
"Regardless, it was meant to end within our realm. Now... I'm just a little bit thorough on how things are going."
Tilt your neck to Bern, who says it in a slightly poorly chopped way.
The power of the Divine Beast would make it easy to terminate Lasse, who regarded him as dangerous.
But not doing it means you've got a good reason?
"Now I'm using my powers to explore his purpose. Even if things were to go wrong, it would be possible to get rid of Kite immediately."
"You mean you're feeding on kite...?"
"The way I see it, it will be."
Reefa gets a muffled look.
No matter how prepared I am, Kate, I don't think I'm convinced you're going to be cheated.
Still swallowed the words he wanted to spit out, Reefa throws a question at Bern.
"What is Lasse?"
"It will be certain that it is a divine beast. It is also an amazingly familiar divine beast to human society. Unnoticed by us, it is superior to fiction and has a deep understanding of human beings."
My mother said that when I first met that guy, he hadn't changed at all since 20 years ago, but you didn't mean he hadn't really changed.
But you, Kate. Come on.
It's too much to attract such a cheeky divine beast...
"Sheche Conrad, a divine beast who has no malice towards man, is swallowed up in the narrow space of the dimension, and the Thousand Blade Butterfly Quatomel Bass falls asleep unrequited to eggs in secret. … the flaming beast Almergank is also in a position to watch over the world of men"
"You don't know?"
"If it were possible, it would be a god beast that was once rampaging around on this continent. As you know, Medullarium and Filuon were both very rough, but they're getting a little rough right now."
Speak so much, Bern makes his mouth grip like he can't even say a little bit.
I'm feeling just a little smiled at the fact that the big lion is doing such tricks, but the look on his face that he is doing so is rude.
"--- He has a clear intent to kill Kite"
""...... Huh!? "
Me and Reefa are stunned by the words unleashed untouched.
That he was going to kill you, kite!?
I didn't waver like that at all.
Instead, I even seemed friendly with him who I miss as much as I don't know what that means.
"What do you mean!? How could you have Kite!"
"I don't even know what he's thinking. What's certain is that he's been approaching this ruin from the beginning to reach you."
Kate, to get closer to you...
Stand up like Reefa panicked.
"Then we need to pull away from Kite soon...!"
"If he tries to harm Kate, it'll be quick. But that's not all he's got against him."
"Duh, what do you mean?"
"Sure, it would be a sure fact that he's willing to kill Kite. There were times when he entered this ruin and let such killings seep in - it all stopped him from doing it himself."
You mean you could have gone into action at any time, but you stopped doing it yourself?
You mean there was a reason you couldn't act? Because Bern was there?
But a god beast would have killed Kite in an instant and also destroyed the ruins and got out.
"Besides, there is no falsehood in that man's love and attitude towards you guys. Undoubtedly, he is a god beast on the side of man."
"I don't know what that means."
"That's why we have to explore"
Kite, I'm trying to kill you, and you're on human side?
My head is going to hang on.
"In the meantime, let's talk about another purpose"
"Another...?"
"Oh."
I can turn my eyes in black, but warm light.
"About why I gave you power and how I treated you."
Until now, we assumed that our power was derived from demons.
In fact, however, it was an outrageous force brought about by the divine beast.
It was about to be revealed why it was deposited with us.
