As he waited nervously, the guards entered the room without any news.
Rachel visited this room for the first time, and after I was given the role of a spokesperson, everyone who came to this room started knocking.I was surprised at the beginning, but when I got used to it, I realized that it had never been normal before.
But don't these guards know what knocking is, or are they going to teach me every day that it's not worth it... I'm sure I don't like the latter at heart.But I laughed at myself for what I had done, and for the first time I spoke to the Guards from my side.
"I apologize for the inconvenience caused by my sudden fall yesterday..."
After lowering his head deeply, he looked a little surprised at the guard.Remembering everything, I was just waiting for this Guard to come into the room now or now, which had been irrationally scary until then.I have things to do and people to protect.It's not that I won't be hurt, whether the Guards hate me or make me evil, but I don't feel as strong a fear as I have ever felt.
"- Are you feeling better?
"Yes, I'm fine today.Can I see Rachel again today?
"--ahh... that's why I'm here.Are you ready for this?Then let's go. "
"Um... is that okay before that?
"... what?Tell me briefly. "
"Teach me how to make an oath!
"--That's why I need to know that."
"Oh, please!I really want to show my loyalty to Rachel!Of course, I don't think that's going to work for me!I just want to be ready!I know you don't recognize me... but please... "
When I saw the guard's cold eyes, I remembered the interrogation and my body trembled unexpectedly.After all, the fear of this man, who was stained with his body in his life here, seemed so simple.But now I have no one but him to listen to.I desperately endured the feeling of wanting to be distracted from my eyes and desperately stared at my sharp eyes like an eagle.
When he was about to give up thinking that it might not work, the guards who were watching silently eventually gripped his left hand and made a fist and lay it in a position with his heart.
"... what are you doing?You heard him.Do it now. "
I hurried and held my fist like a guard in my heart.The guard nodded as he checked my appearance.
"Say your name first.Say the name of Uranium the Great Spirit and my life, and then say what you vow.Put your left knee on the ground and keep your head down.That's all. "
It was simpler and more reassuring than I thought.I think I can do this, too.
I nodded and thanked the guard again deeply.
When the guards glanced at me like that, they muttered "Let's go" and left the room.I raised my head and followed the guards as usual.
In front of the room where Mr. Rachel would be, complete a thoroughly familiar medical examination and examination of the equipment, and enter with the guards.
Rachel closed the book she was reading and stood up and took the trouble to bring her feet to me.And he took my hands and called out worriedly.
"Ellie, are you okay?You were worried.
"I'm sorry... but it's okay now!Thank you very much. "
"It's okay, thank you... let's sit down."
Rachel escorted me into the chair as she was used to, and sat herself in the chair in front of her.Each of these behaviors is very nice and falls in love with the woman herself unexpectedly.
As always, Rachel talked about tea and sweets today.
After listening, I decided to tell Mr. Rachel what to tell him before I put my mouth on the tea.
"--Rachel... I came to tell you something important today..."
Perhaps for the first time, Rachel was surprised by my serious and serious expression and returned the cup she had to the saucer.
"... before that, may I stand?
"... eh, eh..."
Mr Rachel looked surprised at his eyes.When I stood up with permission, I felt a stinging look from the guards, but I stood unafraid next to Ms. Rachel.
Then, as I taught you earlier, place your left hand in the position of your heart.
I think Mr. Rachel took a breath because he understood my intentions.
"I, Ellie, swear by the name of the Great Spirit Uranium and my life that I will tell you the truth here and there without telling a lie and that I will be faithful to Rachel."
As I learned, I put my left knee on the floor, lowered my head, and waited for a response.
Mr Rachel didn't respond, but quiet wrapped the room instead.I keep lowering my head in anxiety and saying that there should be no failure in the maneuver.After a while, Ms. Rachel opened her mouth.
"... Chris Ford... is that you?What the hell are you doing teaching me such a knight trick?
"... no, I was told to teach me how to swear..."
"So, are you stupid to teach such a poor lady a knight's oath?No, okay, don't tell me.... "
"----I 'm sorry..."
"... hah... Ellie, come on, stand up"
"With, with"
"Just stand up.I don't want Ellie to behave like a brain muscle there.Ellie's my friend, right?
"... yes..."
When she stood up wondering what had gone wrong, Rachel took my hand.The guards are looking at him with displeasure somewhere.
"- I told you, right?You said you believed in Ellie.Did you forget?
"Chi, no!I just want to express my feelings. "
"--Ellie... I believe in Ellie.That's why you don't have to do that.But I'll take Ellie's feelings.Thank you. "
Tears appeared to spill on the warmth transmitted from the gripped hand, but I thought hard about what I was going to convey.
After Rachel called me to sit in the chair, I sat back in the chair myself.
I held my fist tightly and decided to swallow the spit in my mouth and stared at Rachel reaching for tea.
"--I remember everything..."
Rachel shook the cup in surprise and then tried to return to the saucer without putting a mouth on the tea, but it drifted off and made a slightly louder sound.
"When I was Elena Heim, I remembered what I did to Rachel... no, I remembered everything..."
Rachel stared at me in surprise.
"--------------------------------"
"......! Ellie!That's...!
Mr Rachel was surprised at the momentum that he was about to embark on.I've never seen Mr Rachel so upset.
"... I think it's the name of the person who was inside me... I'm sure only Rachel would believe this story... but five years ago, a man named Tanaka Hitomi came inside me.I've been trapped somewhere... it's dark and empty... and I only heard the voice of a man named Tanaka Hitomi. "
Just remembering makes your body tremble with fear, and your breathing is about to be disturbed.Rachel reached out and grabbed my hand gently, making a fist, and with that warmth he was able to confirm that I was not alone.
"... I've been watching from the darkness... even if I wanted to lose consciousness, I couldn't lose consciousness... but I couldn't hear my voice... but I was finally able to deliver it to Rachel for a moment."
"--I knew Ellie had helped me back then."
Ms. Rachel's eyes were covered in tears.
"Yes... but I was attacking Rachel... Ahahah... I don't know what that means."
"No... I understand.Everything Ellie said to me to help me came true. "
"─!...... Rachel...... Thank you so much"
"Please don't do this anymore...?I don't want Ellie to call me that. "
"But... my identity is too different from mine."
"Ellie... we're friends, right?
My tear glands have finally collapsed to Mr Rachel, who smiles gently.Rachel said, "Oh, Ellie is a crybaby.She came to me and said, "It's cute." She hugged me gently.Whether Ms. Rachel's cheeks were wet or her hands trembling behind her back, everything made me cry even more.
"Ellie, you saved my life.So why don't you just leave the master alone?I miss being your friend. "
"...... nh, come on......"
"Thank you for telling me... I think it was courage."
"--Rachel believed me... Thank you for believing in me."
"Of course. Ellie helped me back then."
"--Still, I attacked you....."
"Ellie... Isn't that what Tanaka-san did as Elaina?Tanaka Hitomi and Ellie are completely different people.Even if it was done with Ellie's body. "
"--I 'm so happy to meet Rachel... I'm so glad my voice reached Rachel even at that moment."
If I was a little late at that time, I would tremble thinking that my arrow might have hurt Rachel.We've been hugging each other for a while, but I remember that I haven't been able to tell you what's important yet, and I take a big breath to consolidate my determination.
"--I 'm ready now.I will atone for my sins. "
That's what I've decided since I got my memory back.
"Nah, what are you talking about!?Ellie's not guilty!
"--no, I ended up doing it... I couldn't stop it..."
"I can't help it!And Ellie helped me!
"--Rachel... I still don't think people around me will forgive me, and I don't think they'll believe me..."
"... that's...!
"--It's okay... it's okay if Rachel believes me.Besides, I was originally going to die in prison.I was going to die with you when Tanakahitomi was necked... but I think I'm alive because I got a chance to make amends... above all, I don't feel refreshed myself, so I'm going to make amends for my sins. "
I look at Mr. Rachel with a refreshing smile that looks as if he's possessed.I knew Rachel would approve of my decision, but Rachel shook his head and refused.
"... no! I'm fine!No matter what anyone says, Ellie is innocent!Even with the same body, Tanaka Hitomi's sins are hers alone, so that the sins of her parents don't fall on her!This has nothing to do with Ellie!
"--That's all you have to say to Rachel, I'm good enough...--Rachel, there's still something important I have to tell you..... "
When I said that, Rachel burst into tears and said, "What?"she asked anxiously.I asked Mr. Rachel to call someone to tell me the truth.Rachel told me that he would believe me without someone like that, but a few minutes later, when I asked him to, the Hood woman who was at the interrogation was brought in by the soldiers.
The guards who had been listening to the story so far in the same room also came nearby, and I started talking about the subject.Rachel looks as anxious as ever, and the guards are worried about me in addition to the usual cold.
"Yesterday, in the garden I went to before I came here, I saw a soldier... a soldier I manipulated when I was in jail..."
"... no! He must be fired!
The guards challenged me to bite, and Hood, who discerned the lie, denied that he was "not a lie."
"--I asked the soldier to take revenge on you... Rachel..."
After that, I send a message to the hoodie.
"--I 'm not lying."
"I remember everything yesterday when I saw that soldier in the garden... Did you know that my chest mole is missing?
Rachel nodded with serious eyes.I looked at the guard, and for some reason he turned away.I was a little surprised because I had never been distracted from seeing it as if it were a stab, but now is not the time.
"From that soldier... I felt disgusting power... something I knew so well..."
"... Ellie... no way"
"--yes... maybe it was my power...I'm so sorry to say this with such a sinful body... but I really want you to listen to my request!You won't let me see that soldier...!No, I want you to use me as a decoy. "
"--do you... know what you're talking about?"
The guards responded to me with a very cold voice, not Mr. Rachel.Afterwards, the Hood people expressed their true feelings about me as "not a lie," but I felt that it ended in vain.
"--You may be planning something with that soldier, but we don't have the advantage of having him meet."
"--I will give my life... I think my life will not be a guarantee... but there is nothing else to prove..."
"I'm not lying."
"... what are you going to do when you see him?
"--I will pick the seed I sowed...That person is also the poor person I manipulated... I don't want anyone to grieve anymore... "
"--Ellie... again, it's not what you did, so you're not responsible for anything?That's why you don't have to think like that anywhere. "
"... no, that's what I want to do..."
"---... Ellie... to be perfectly clear, I disagree... that's too dangerous"
Rachel looks at me worriedly, holding my hand.
"--Very well... but I'm in charge of your disposition.When something happens... you know what I mean?
"Chris Ford!
Rachel was angry when he raised his eyebrows to the guard, but I nodded deeply with a good look at the guard's eyes.
This time, I stared at the Guards with determination, swearing in my chest that nobody would be hurt.
