She suddenly appeared. When something like black gas rose loosely from the ground on the spot, it began to create the shape of man there.

And she —— Nike started talking toward Deprexa, looking black with an indeterminate entity.

'I rushed out to the surface thinking there was only one such person as a hole in the world tree... this is it. Looks like you have a visitor this time, huh? Isn't that the first time?

"Yeah, that's right. They are definitely guests. For me and for you."

"For the rest...?

"Could you let me talk to you a little slower?

'What, I don't feel good about being changed... If you're the usual one, why don't you go home without asking the questions, the mention that made this place even more welcoming, rambling until you're satisfied? That's what you want me to talk to you about slowly? Ha... What if something went wrong outside, even a natural mutation happened? Or is that it, or did the bake finally turn?

"I won't listen to that. I'll admit it to the point of further ground, but that's because you're not coming out right away. And you've never tried to attack the late."

"... after getting drunk and talking about nothing, you're not saying that attacking me with obfuscation is an attack?

"... it's an accident"

'... I'm not saying anything bad. Guests. This one's no good. I recommend you stay out of this.'

and nike to say so to the brave men who were on the spot, as if they had devoted their love to Deprexa.

Then a brave man who was watching them interact inquired in wonder.

"I've heard before that Mr. Deprexa and Mr. Nike are not very close... you both seem to be very close, don't you?

It is Nike who answered that...... Her words seemed unexpected enough, to a line, to be described as "extremely".

"Friendly, huh? Hmm... a little out of heart to be honest... well, I can't help but be seen that way. Anyway, he's like this guy's sister. This guy made the rest of the" homunculus, "can you tell them?

Nike is a homunculus made by Deprexa...... The brave men who heard of it accidentally ate it. In other words, the relationship between Deprexa and Nike is almost identical to that between Waltz and the Cortex. It was harder not to be surprised to hear that.

However, the brave men seemed convinced somewhere in their hearts. The demons and ghosts created by Nike, plus the black bugs. If the Deprexa herself taught her where the knowledge and technology came from, the pieces would be filled in without necessity. Moreover, Deprexa comes from the same world as Waltz...... Given them, it was no surprise that Nike's identity was homunculus made by Deprexa.

As a result, when the brave men are silently consenting, with their eyes open... Nike asks a question in a frightening mood.

'Don't be clever with them... Do... who are these guys? It's Deprexa. Doesn't that mean you're just an acquaintance? I don't even think they make better friends. "

"... is a messenger from the future"

"... you're still busy, aren't you?

"That's what you think...... Well, what a good thing to explain..."

A deprexa with heads on how to explain the existence of the brave men of the future.

Then she remembered her first inquiry and mouthed it again.

"The circumstances are the circumstances, so the explanation will take time. So earlier, I asked if we could talk slowly."

'Is that what you mean... I'll check it out, but if the rest of you leave, you won't attack, will you?

"I won't... but you're not the one who can destroy me, are you?

"It's troublesome when you can hurt yourself. How much time do you think it would take to rebuild it again?... Well, you're attacking me because I don't know... '

The moment Nike says so, her shadow fogs black.

And right after--

"Welcome, guests. to the rest of the territory."

—— Now it was time for a real nike to emerge from the woods.

"Were you hiding in the woods...... I still wish I had burned down the forest at that time..."

"Totally troublesome goddess."

Nike sighs loudly like he's tired of saying that.

And she tried to say the words that went on —— that was the time.

Zusa!

He said that he was in a line (...) ah (...) ru (...) people (...) things (...), but he rushed to Nike at an unexpected speed. Looking at that from the edge, there is momentum as if it would do harm to Nike... The brave men who realize it try to stop him (...) ——

"Mother!"

Buffoo...

—— He didn't seem to intend to harm the Endels boy... Having felt the shadow of his "mother" in Nike, he seems to have lost control of his feet.
