Waltz said briefly to Lucia as she leaned down with her face pale.

”Lucia, you don't have to worry about what's going to happen next, do you?”

"... what?"

"What are you saying you don't have to worry about..." Lucia, who was doing her best, couldn't understand her sister's words at all.

While somehow spinning her pure white head, Lucia tries to understand what the waltzes are trying to do... In the end, it seemed that she could not understand what had happened until the end of the matter. Well, even if she's in a perfect state of mind, it's subtle whether she understands Waltz's behavior.

Then, the moment Altair generated the next microblack hole, Waltz began to act.

The first thing she did was to act. About Lucia--

Boom!

--you threw it out of your mind.

Lucia was thrown to the ground and suddenly stopped and landed about 200 meters away, ignoring the laws of physics. Waltz used the gravity control system to brake Lucia so she wouldn't get hurt if she fell to the ground.

Lucia was suspicious of what Waltz did afterwards. Waltz deforms the armor and exposes its interior--

ZUDOOOOO!!

—— swallowing up a side of something in the dark as if it were a suicide bomb... and--

"Onii, onee-chan...?"

He disappeared from the scene. Also, take Altair and all the microblack holes that were there with you.

…………

Lucia was stunned. There was not even a voice calling out to my sister. Waltz, Altair, and the microblack hole all disappeared, and the sight undeniably thrust a "fact" into Lucia. That is —— the waltz blew itself up.

The colorless and transparent void now dominated the noisy world. Only the desolate earth, cloudy weather, and dry air remain there.

Lucia sat there alone, as if she were dead. Or a doll. Or maybe it can be described as a shell of a soul. However, she was quietly staring at the void, so angry that she didn't even know she was breathing.

How much time has passed since then: ten seconds, a minute, an hour... Finally, Lucia, who was moving, spoke--

"...... Onee-chan......"

--The name of the person who loved it. "But I have no reply..." Lucia's eyes spilled large tears.

Lucia regretted. While one of the words from Altair was injured and lost his will to fight, it was all over. It was such a shameless end.

"It's my fault..."

"If I had been stronger, the waltz wouldn't have blown itself up..." If I had been stronger, the Waltz wouldn't have struggled with Altair... "" If I hadn't asked Altair about my past in the first place, this wouldn't have happened... "Lucia's tears spilled out of her eyes as her regrets overflowed.

But Lucia didn't cry out loud. I couldn't do it. You pushed my sister into suicide —— it was you who killed her. It wasn't something I could forgive, like grieving alone.

It is anger at one's own ungodlyness. Rage against your own weakness. Lucia was tormented by the various emotions that sprang up, and she began to wonder why it was good for herself.

And she--

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

ZUDOOOOO!!

--Artificial sun rampaged.

And that's when it happened.

"Whoa?! Whoa?!"

A voice that I had heard somewhere came into Lucia's ear. It was also from the other side of the artificial sun that rammed it into the ground as much as it could.

Looks like Lucia blew something out of somebody's voice.
