Beginning, Infinite Skill Tree

"Game...life?...life that hasn't been won once. Liku and the others... are so pitiful." Yuba murmured, and her hairy ears were pulled down, looking a little lost and listless.

...

If Hubby was there, he could survive even in this world.

Talking to Hubby, seeing her face, holding her hand, you can forget the pain.

As soon as the stroke of the new paragraph was changed, people saw Liku's inner memories.

He suddenly remembered what Hubie said.

"...Don't let you die... Liku will live until... Hubby's death..."

Yeah, that's right... Now that Hubby is dead, is it all right?

Liku leaned his body on the back of the chair and relaxed his whole body strength, just like that...like falling asleep... his eyes gradually lost their luster.

"Hey... hey hey~!... No way! Does the words at that time have this deep meaning?! Is it a coincidence or deliberately written like this! Wait, don't sleep! Liku." People looked anxiously at Liku, who seemed to be dying at any time.

He shouldn't have followed Hubie's death because of the severe blow and the severe injuries he suffered!

Nope!!Don't!

Everyone panicked, and they had just finished watching Hubby's death. Are they about to accept the uncomfortable thing of Liku's death again?

Pomelo leaf hurriedly turned to the back, and then with a clatter, she saw the words continuing on the back of the page.

That is--

"——[The Willer] Liku."

——…The consciousness that was about to fall——When he was about to fall along with his soul, someone stopped him at the very moment of his death.

Hearing it was nostalgic, but he had never heard it—a bit like a mechanical sound, and Liku turned his head slowly to look.

Where did he come in from?Since when did you stand there?A black man in a long robe like a shadow stood there.

"……who are you?"

——Not asking [who].

Because there is no need to ask, the part exposed from the gap in the robe tells the truth about his origin.

The mechanical body-not Hubby's-

Huh!People raised their heads in shock and looked at the handsome male in the illustration?!

"——Jikai kind!!" Looking at the figure with a somewhat disbelieving look.

It's Hubby's family!But why is it here?!

"...I don't have a name, but just call me [Full Connection Command (Einzsch)] as I am called by others."

It was completely different from when Hughie first played...

From the very beginning, it showed a lot of humanized new machines—it turned out to be the connected command body...the existence called Einzich.

When everyone saw this, they showed some stunned eyes.

He—is this...?!

Suddenly, the good memory reminded Hermitos of the words that the conjoined said to Hubie before his final death.

"Correction of the code-[Legacy] Huby, you are allowed to rest, and then leave it to us."

Hermitos shuddered at the thought of this.

No, it's impossible... Could it be said that the conjoined body should represent the entire aircraft species and help Liku realize Hubby's last wish?

Thinking of the god of alchemy, he took a breath...

If this is the case, Liku said that he would not become the strongest party in this war.

Think of Hubby's solo fight for Jibril and consume all his strength.

Although Hubby was a special individual in the race just like Jibril, Hermitos had never underestimated this race.

He still remembers that the Jikai species is also... the race that [the only one who has managed to kill God]!

...

"——I'm here to achieve the last will that [the bereaved] Hubie entrusted."

Without waiting for Liku to ask that question vigilantly, the Jikai kind in front of him immediately answered it first.

Einzich said that and stretched out his hand.

Liku took what he had handed over - suddenly he was stunned.(Speaking of when Hubby died, the theater version seems to have added a tearful scene of the connected body. At that time, I saw a machine that didn’t know what it was. After reading the memory data of Hubie, I understood what love shed tears. At that time, I was really shocked.)

That is a small metal circle.Although dirty and twisted--but it is undoubtedly Hubby's ring--

An illustration close-up is given in the book.

Looking at the ring whose material is not precious, people feel sour and feel uncomfortable inside.

That metal ring-even in their current age, it can't even be called a ring.

But it makes a lot of sense!

Once, people have witnessed that Liku and Shubi got married under the oath of the ring.

Not only in the eyes of Liku, the ring also has a very special meaning in people's eyes.

Not to mention that Hubby was desperately protecting it until he died-that was the existence of Hubby's [heart]!

Did Hubby leave any words for Liku?

With a complex and unspeakable mood, everyone continued to look behind.

"——[The Willer] Liku has not yet lost."

"……what?"

Liku was still at a loss, but Einzich, a man of wit, told him flatly.

"——The [rules] stipulated by [the Willer] does not include the disapproval of the loss of props."

——In an instant, Liku raised his fist and wanted to punch him in the face.
