Eliane and Cecilie's stuffed animals suddenly glowed.

And the── next moment, thinking that the whole room had turned pure white, I was standing on a long aisle.

Not in the castle. There shouldn't have been a place like this.

"So... this is where the [White Snake] is?"

I asked, but I didn't hear from the goddess.

The walls are clear and the outside seems to be water. Somewhere strange.

[White Snake] and Elijah and Cecilie were still out of sight.

But there are two of us down── this aisle, and I was sure of that.

"This is not the time to think." We have to go and help them. "

"Wait."

──When I try to run, I can hear my voice.

Then a human-shaped light appeared, which eventually became a man.

"You..."

"Did you use that stuffed animal to get here?" Absolutely... the goddess does extra things for me. "

Having heard that, one thought comes to mind in me. [M]

"What if you were... the doll maker who made that stuffed animal?" Your name was Joel, wasn't it? "

…………

He didn't answer anything, but I felt it now, as if that silence meant affirmation.

“Where did you two go? Give me back the two of you."

I will make my voice harsh, but the answer from Joel remains the same.

He kept his emotions out of his face and was just looking at me in silence.

Some people will look creepy.

But I had the impression that he had a── terribly sad look on his face.

“Why did you come here? Even if you come, you know there's no way to help them, right?"

"I don't think so. I don't know if I have to try."

"Reckless confidence will destroy you." And── the world. "

Then Joel puts his right hand out in front of him. And in a moment the sword of light was in Joel's hand.

"I can't go through here."

Joel says that and kicks the ground. The next moment I thought about it, Joel's face was right in front of me.

I pull the sword out of my hand. And he took Joel's sword.

"I know you. It's the lady's luggage, isn't it? You can't rely on her in this space. Do you think you can beat me like that?"

"I can't── lose. I can't lose!"

Without letting go of the attack, I kept waving my sword.

As if dancing, we were talking with our swords.

──Strong.

I admire it in my heart.

The movement of the jaws is fast, and it is difficult to chase them with just your eyes.

It was even shifting gears. Such a genre would not exist anywhere. I know that because I cover all schools.

But...

"Ho ho ho? It's pretty good, isn't it?" To be honest, I thought I'd win in a flash. "

Joel crouches down and fires his sword to hunt down my feet.

But I jumped and avoided it. The moment I landed on the ground, I paid my sword to the side.

I've fought with guys like you!

Remember when you played mock battles with── Maria and Douglas.

Compared to those two, he's just a kid with a sword in his motion!

But.

"I have no choice. I don't have time to play with you."

That's what Joel says, and he keeps his distance from me for a moment.

The next moment the light explodes around── him.

And when the sight was opened,── the appearance of the yawl had changed.

"I didn't want to be so ugly."

Joel's voice was more lacking in emotion than ever before.

And the top half of his clothes burst forth, and Joel grew black wings from his back.

"Ki, you..."

"I am an angel who has served the [White Snake] for many years.── No, I am a fallen angel."

Joel explains end to end.

When I heard that, I didn't even have time to be surprised. [M]

"You guys, in the first place, your bodies are made differently from humans." No matter how you scratch, you can't beat me. Now, it's time for the end. "

A bullet with a deeper color than the darkness of the night fired from his fingertips.

It's── like a bullet that condenses the hatred of this world.

──I can only watch the sight of it coming towards me in silence. [M]

I know. If this strikes you, you're dead.

But... now I can't avoid it!?

The moment a bullet tried to shoot me in the forehead,

"What are you doing?"

Simultaneously with the voice of such a woman, the bullet can bounce.

Looking back, there was a woman standing there with a slightly victorious look and a dazed look.

"You..."

"What are you standing there for?" You know what I mean? If you do, Elijah won't do it either. If you don't know, make it smoother. "

It was── Leticia.
