Pakiri, pissy, countless cracks in the crystal in front of you.

Eventually, when it became light and disappeared, the seven stars inside sat on the floor as if they were falling apart.

"Kai-kun, get away!

"... no, I'm fine"

The liberated Seven Stars do not remain slightly motionless, sitting around as if they could be dropped.

Everyone around her feels signs of breathing, but she can't even hear her breathing coming from under her eyes.

Break your knees and keep your eyes peeled.

"... in the seven-star Elecler, no doubt?

"......"

A voice leaking similar to a small groan, Elecler raising his face.

When the lid, which was closed in the crystals, opened, there were yellowish brown eyes.

I get that look of sadness, somewhere worrying, and I hesitate to talk any more for a moment, but I persevere in talking to them, even if they are seven-stars.

"I'm the one who let you go. Seven Star Elecler. Who are you?"

"... look, I'm here"

"What?"

"... I've been watching. From the distant past, to the present, to this moment"

"You mean you've seen what's going on out there, out of the seal?

Elecler speaking in a fine trembling voice.

"Dozens, I've seen it. He who tries to take me out."

"... the liberator. If you were watching, you'd know why we unsealed you.

"Yes. Yes, you should. That's why I was chosen."

I don't get the Imaichi procedure, but it was a saying as if I were accepting everything that happens now.

Then Rue, who was quietly watching him go, came next to me.

"It's very debilitating. It's late today, and I'll give you a break. Tomorrow, let's hear it again. Hundreds of years... maybe thousands of years sealed. Let's give you some time."

"Sure... Grandpa Ken, arrange for the infirmary. Me and Lue's share, too. I don't know what it is, we'll have to stay."

"Ugh, um... right"

Everyone else will be concerned, but I'll have them back for once for today.

More importantly, today's announcement and the big catches. Domestic and international disturbances should still persist.

Both the king and his deputy, Mr. Stiglia, should now be packing in the castle.

That's how everyone leaves the lab, and Reis is talking about wanting to stay again, so get ready and travel to the infirmary as we transport Elecler together.

You were still tired, or you seem to be falling asleep.

"Kai... this guy was talking about seven stars... I wonder what 'chosen' means"

"Yeah, I was wondering, too. Julia from Sardis Continent was sealed together, wasn't she? What if... Fennel, who invented it, was watching Elecler on this continent..."

"... you don't think Elecler is another sacrificed being?

"It'll stick better. I guess that's what made her uncomfortable with her background and status."

"... If that's the case, I need to change my attitude..."

Still, we revealed the night in the infirmary because the seven stars were seven stars, including the meaning of surveillance.

"... in the morning"

I took turns and took a nap, but at some point both Reis and Rhue were asleep, so I stayed asleep, but on the morning sun I plugged in, I was relieved that the night had ended safely and without anything.

Then, with the scrubbing sound of the casserole and the cloth...

"... good morning, liberator"

"Elecler...... Again, were you tired? Sorry I bumped you yesterday."

"No, I don't mind. Shall we talk a little bit until the people gathered yesterday?"

"Mm, give me a minute. Wake up your people."

"Okay."

When she woke the two of them up and told them that they were ready, she spoke quietly.

"The situation outside can be explored to a certain extent if it concerns those on this continent. You are a man from outside this continent."

"Yeah, I've been traveling around the Seven Stars."

"Then... I'm sorry, but I can't let you take me down. That boy, a boy named Nao, should take him down."

"... Really?"

As if, she told me that she deserved to die.

"Several liberators visit more than the lands of the Gentiles, all of whom scatter their lives in the middle of their minds. Over the course of a long history, some of them have reached it, but the 'one' has held it back."

"Yoroki? Wasn't he trying to do something for the liberators?"

"You wanted it. The body of a liberator who has enough qualities to awaken me. But... unfortunately, you can't let me go. Like he couldn't do Nao."

"But you let Kai-kun go. What's that supposed to mean?

"… the Seven Stars are heterogeneous sent from different worlds. Therefore, we cannot liberate without a liberator endowed with the power of the Gentiles as well. But... I was originally a resident of this world."

I kind of noticed that.

I was wondering if she was as if she had been born in this world, as Rhue had described her as a spiritual species. But...

"Then how could you let me go? I'm a Gentile, too, in a way."

"That's because you were recognized by the world. The world intervenes in the physics of everything. And sometimes, they let people have 'meaning'. as aliases or titles."

"Ah... then this title given to me..."

"I'm sure that's what you mean. You are the world's recognized liberator. I guess that's why you let me go. But...... it was the people who lived on this continent for a long time who wanted my liberation. So at least I want to be his food that was summoned in this land and reward his thoughts"

… status is the will of the world?

Is this title and text also the will of the world?

If so - who is Lainey Linnealis, who was able to intervene on that menu screen?

I care, but now I just keep listening to her.

"You... are someone who was in this world a long time ago. So... did they sacrifice you? Another seven stars. Dependencies to seal malice without form."

"It will. However, sacrifice has a few words. I, I wanted to, I depended. More than anyone, I want to protect this continent. With that one heart."

"... well. Hey...... what the hell is a seven star? Why are you in this world?

"The Seven Stars are like wedges. Long ago, the Seven Powerful One unleashed on the world. We drove it to one continent. And it's a cruel way, but I thought about sealing it off from continent to continent. But..."

"That continent - the Fastorian continent - suddenly disappeared from the world. Didn't you?"

One hypothesis emerges in her words.

The continent of Fastria, where the seven stars were collected. Isn't that where - some kind of hand shifted the dimension to another world and let you get away with it?... as my familiar game Grandiaseed.

"Yes, it will. Then, we lived in a world of peace, but at one point, the powerful again appeared in the world. But it's not rampant, it's just nestled in each creepy land. It's like waiting for something. But... only those on this continent were different."

"Does that mean Harm Collateral......?

"Yes, we defeated that terrible being, but at the same time, we chose to give them the first flesh to watch their malice, their evil spills, and to take immediate action - to seal them up."

"Is that you?"

When we were in Fastria as a game, was that happening on other continents left in the original world?

No, the flow of time isn't necessarily consistent. Maybe when I defeated the Seven Stars in that world, finished collecting abilities, and finished servicing the game, a new Seven Stars were released.

"... So aren't you technically a seven-star?

"No, the effects of assimilation have made me evil again, too. Now, Yoloki's hands are scattering Harm Collateral... but it will return to its original state one day. I think that's when you and I can get rid of Harm Collateral. Fortunately, you have that power. Even shapeless will cleave, the power of the Gentiles."

"... that knife, is it"

"That's right. Because it is the crystal of the power of the Gentiles, which originally possessed the same power as the Seven Stars."

"... were you a seven-star and connected to the world?

"Yes."

"Then - tell me. Who are you, asking for the liberation of the Seven Stars and calling the liberators?"

Wouldn't she know? The identity of a being that connects the earth to this world and gives instructions in a narrow land.

"... I don't know. But a being who kept seeing this world more than it did in ancient times. Nani from the outside world, watching this world all the time? Maybe you want, the world."

"Really?"

"I'm sorry, I don't know anything. Sorry, apparently my body isn't in the book yet. A little… I'll lay down again"

That said, she fell asleep again.

"... It's kind of a horrible story. I've been looking at the world. That's also the story that created the Divine Slavery... what is it?"

"But at least I know how to make Harm Collateral disappear. This is huge."

"But... we talked about destroying her together..."

"That's the thing... maybe this guy isn't around long anymore... I think he's close to life as a spiritual species already. The magic was starting to spill. Also, before I return to just magic, I guess I want to die meaningful while I can be a vessel..."

"... yeah, right"

Even if left alone, Harm Collateral gathers at her.

Then I'll be evil again. Which path...... someone has to finish,.

I summarised her story to everyone who gathered at the lab after this.

Of course, you were confused.

Then he moved to a garden in the royal palace, a place where people would not normally be able to stop, accompanied by awakened Elecler again, who would be able to speak quietly.

Lue said that it should be easier for her too in places with lots of nature?

"... people change everywhere. But... some things don't change, the world doesn't."

"Do you remember that tree?

And in the gathered garden, Elecler touches a large tree at the international level.

"This tree has been in this place for a long time before this country could. The present king is apparently the one whose blood of the royal family of my birth has been passed down pulsatingly. Originally, this wasn't a country, it was a town."

"That's really interesting. Indeed, I have heard that my royal family continues from old times."

Looks nostalgic, with Eclair continuing to stroke it. And - Nao you stare at it spicidly.

"Um... do I have to knock you down after all? Can't we just take down the bad guys we got together?

"Hehe, you're a really sweet kid. I haven't been around long. So at the end of the day, I wanted to say I was selfish. This royal family... has wanted to fulfill the grief of this blood family, which has been going on since ancient times, though in different shapes. Though it may be hard for you."

"... ok"

"Sometimes I'm just a little worried. I'm a spiritual species. It does not extinguish in essence. You will surely return to the earth. But I also have the power to enrich the earth. This is why we are hosting the richness of the continent. I'm worried about what's gonna happen to that continent that lost me."

With that said, there were stories that the land where the Seven Stars were liberated would be fruitful.

I thought it was just a story about the consequences of being deprived of the power of the earth by the seal.

Was she originally like a land god in her case?

"The woods where you were resting were so rich... rather than so abnormally wooded, speaking of which"

"That's a little different. There were those who were concentrating on that place the power that should be divided equally among the continents. Perhaps if I just lived in those woods, the continent would be richer too... because I don't even have time left..."

Just a little, soggy air. And maybe because the continent will lose its chance to be rich, a heartless or sad king and Mr. Stilia and Grandpa Ken who live on this continent.

One day, though, when her power returns to the earth and the Spirit Species arise from it again, they will change again.

Then there's the voice of a child smashing that air.

"No, Ham! This is a hammer, but I found a sunflower hammer!

"Wait, if you don't give it back to the flowerbed, the gardener will piss you off, stop"

"Chi Chi! This sunflower was on the side. Ha-ha! It wasn't in the flowerbed, Hamu."

"That's for replanting. I just saw it. Please, or I'll be pissed off with you too."

He was a zinnia chasing after it, Hamu, blasting around with one hand.

A white piece on a straw hat, sunflower with roots and soil on its hands.

Isn't there any other child so far reminiscent of summer, the sun?

Everyone had a smiling look on their face, and Hamu, running away, rushed over here.

And just like that...

"Oh...?

"Hide behind me. Ham. Ginia, honey's going to take the sunflower."

"Hehe, you are. But if it stays like this, it'll wither away, won't it, Mr. Hippo?

It's Mucha who hides behind Elecler.

It's kind of a diagram that only parents and children can see because they have similar ears.

"The sunflower will wither away. Ham?

"Yeah, that's right. So why don't we plant you in some soft soil? I'm sure I'll feel better, and now I'll make lots of sprouts... and now I'll have lots of sprouts."

"You're full of sunflowers! It grows more than the flowerbed just now?

"Yeah, I'm sure he is."

Gaze properly at Hamu with a gentle laugh, as if to tell the child.

My heart was stuck to that sight as if I could see mercy.

"Ginia, I'll give you the sunflower back, Ham"

"Phew...... finally? I'm too well. Then I'll return it to the gardener."

"Now I want you to grow more sunflowers. Ha!

When Ginia left, Hamu looked up at Elecler with a strange face somewhere.

Speaking of which, Elecler, I haven't seen you since you woke up this morning, ha-ha.

Apparently Ginia and I were waiting for the royal castle. Said Nao, while you and Stiglia were at the lab, it would be hard if there was anything at the castle.

Anything, in a catch the other day, of the Knights of the Kingdom, you think the majority of the Knights' immediate troops were detained? You'll be worried about that.

"After all, my sister Hamu, who has been at Hamu's house for a long time. I'm finally out of the ice."

"Yeah. You... oh, you're a naturally occurring spiritual species over there, too, aren't you?

"Yeah? Ham was born there. Ham"

"... in a way, maybe you'll be my family. While I was asleep, my powers kept spreading outside."

With that said, I noticed when I looked at her status, but I recall she only had 3 levels for her abilities.

Did she also scatter her powers when 'Harm Collateral' scattered from inside her?

The status quo tells her that a presence known as the Hamster Nation is scattered all over the world and that it is all back in the woods.

"I thought it was a strange race... but apparently it's not a mistake to be my family... hehe, so I... am I your mother?"

"Ham!? Are you ham-cha!? You think you're a mother to me?

"... you speak a little unusual, don't you? Hehe, maybe it is. Your mother."

With that said, why is this child's words subtly similar to Akita or Tohoku valves?

Seems like I've lived on the semi-final continent for a long time... but could I possibly even have some familiarity with Mr. Igzou?

"Mm-hmm... Hamu had a mother... then I'll introduce her to everyone in the woods next time. Hamu is everyone's sister, so I'm sure everyone's mother Hamu"

"... I guess so."

Then, Elecler turns around this way.

The look was a bit of a rugged thing, and also something as if you were determined to do something.

"... I'm relieved. Now my powers will be taken over by this child. I guess that ham rat tribe is what my scattered powers embody. But this child... in my sealed land, seems to have been born under my influence for a time. So to speak, it may be like my successor...... Now... don't worry, we can collect it."

"Collect... do you have a Harm Collateral?

"Yes, waiting to gather naturally doesn't have the coverage I have until then. Fortunately, this place remains old nature. It's a great place for me to talk to plants all over the continent."

"So... here and now, what does it mean to take you down? Then at least... put her somewhere else."

"We need an inheritance of power. I want this kid to stay in this place, too. It may be a little cruel..."

Then, Mucha raised her voice when she was listening very hard.

"Mom, you must be dead. Huh?

"... I think it's more like saying I'm going inside you than saying I'm going to die. Could it have been a little difficult?"

"I understand Ham. Ham. Mom, I feel like a disappearing companion. Ham. Don't hesitate to come inside."

"... yeah, let me do that. Thank you, Hamu."

I've always felt like I was watching something bigger with this kid's outlook on life and values different from ours.

I thought she was a strange kid, like she was objectifying, somewhere uneven.

But maybe that had something to do with the fact that this child was a relative of some kind of patron saint, Elektrale.

In that sense, maybe that person... once, the mysterious clown who protected Hamu from the demonic car, was also, like this Elecler, the patron saint of the old world or something.

"Take a day today to gather Harm Collateral to me. Your Majesty, may I borrow this place?"

"... Fortunately, we plan to renovate the garden shortly, and it is off-limits. Please, I want you to make the most of this place. And... Apparently the kid likes sunflowers. Tell the gardener and promise to make the area around this tree a sunflower field when renovating it."

"Thank you. I also... thought it would be a good side of this old big tree if it were to pass away. Heh heh, good for you. Ha-ha. This place is going to be a sunflower field."

"The truth is, no! Thank you, Uncle Caramel!

Oh, I knew it was you who gave Hamu the caramel.

Thus, Grandpa Ken and Rue, under the supervision of Elecler, began to establish a line to prevent the gathered Harm Collateral from escaping, and Mr. Stilia also ordered the knights to seal off the garden.

Probably because we're talking about taking a long time to get to the night, so I've had plenty of time until then.

"Mr. Caivon, how about a little, uh, tea with us? The king must have Mr. Caivon."

"Nao, you. Then I guess I'll sweeten it to your word."

"Good. Then come with me."

What an invitation from the king. I don't know if it's just tea and relaxation, but this case involving the Seven Stars is a big part of this country as well.

Besides, I've been offered a place this time. I guess we should talk about everything we can.

He is taken to the depths of the royal castle and led to a sumptuous salon that seems to be for the royal family.

Then the king had already taken his seat and faced something like a document.

"I'm sorry, call it in. I was just thinking about designing a garden."

"Does the king design it himself? Amazing."

"A king is actually a hobby to paint. Before he took office, he trained in an art town called Sphere Garden."

"Oh, I stayed in that town, too. It was a lovely town."

"Oh, did Lord Caivon stay in that land, too? No, actually, Lord Stiglia's father, Lord Shezzard and I have been friends since then. Me and him, only that town wanted to keep us out of the war."

I get a very fragrant cup of tea as I talk about his old stories like that and the design of the garden.

I think it's a kind of flavored tea... but it looks a little like Earl Gray.

If you have this kind of liqueur, I just want to get it.

"Well...... it's time to get down to business. If the measures that Lord Elektral was saying have been accomplished and if the seven stars, the unseen malice, disappear from this continent, then perhaps the war will also step toward sedation"

"Indeed, the trigger for the taking of dungeon resources no longer exists either. It won't last that long, either, for those who hold back the war, than those who have purely evil thoughts to stay."

"Uhm. But on the other hand, why was the empire so focused on dungeon resources in the first place? I think we should focus on that."

It reminds me of that too. It was only for a moment that I was in Imperial Territory. But...... I do remember people spilling out and feeling lonely.

"I, too, was attacking several imperial dungeons. However, I was under the impression that there were no resources other than dungeons."

"I see. Well...... in addition to the effects of the Seven Star Seal, as Elecler put it, it may have been due to the concentration of the earth's power in the Ethereal Forest. Failure or famine… is a problem that can cause enough war"

This too, if it has been done for the purpose of provoking war, I guess Yoloki was the one who should have killed him early.

"Was that child... mummy? If that child is to inherit the power of abundance, even if it is not soon, any of them may be fruitful in the empire. But... without the means to convince the other person, suggesting that we stop the war in the first place, and not even preparing for peace negotiations, is the current situation in Gardeus."

"… you mean you've been fighting for a long time now and therefore didn't even try to set up an opportunity to discuss it in the first place…"

"Uhm... the only person connected to the other is the one who was trying to prolong and profit from the war. It can't be used as a messenger of peace."

I don't know why I was called here, but I know exactly what I'm after.

"... to be a man of the outer continent and a messenger to me with many backshields?"

"Hmmm...... it's really painful and I keep bothering Lord Caivon, but I want to ask him for shame. Just one more time, I need your help."

Peace on the continent. For that reason... wouldn't it be a good idea to use my powers?

At the same time, however, I suggest that waiting for the announcement the other day to pass on to the Empire and waiting for some action might be one hand.

In a way, it could be taken if you're trying to use my power to take advantage of the negotiations.

Suddenly, instead of using me for the future, I suggest you wait a little longer.

"Sure, I had that idea. But... I'm anxious. What man reigns and what ideas? I don't have that clear information either. Perhaps the royal family has less information than the guild humans. I really rely on the form I set up ahead of time."

"... Was I? The guild and the royal family may have needed to be united in one… but now that the war is over, we may each be a free and sometimes hands-on nation"

"I hope so. Do... Lord Caivon. My role as a messenger, not immediately, but sooner or later, when I ask for it, maybe it will come. Can you ask for it then?"

"Yeah, I don't mind. But...... Advertise, that may not be the time. Fortunately, the royal family over there... knows that there are people who do not lose their malice and try to protect their people by whatever means they can."

Hey, isn't it? Elle.

You can feel the continental changes in this country.

So I'm sure it would be you... even with this country?

The king's expression becomes soft on the information I bring him.

"... was that so? The breadth of Lord Caivon's companionship is immeasurable. Well... did you have a connection with the royal family of the Empire... at all, that man, Commander Oink, is truly blessed with people."

"I'm afraid.... Well, one day when the time comes... it would be nice to create such an opportunity to bring together representatives from all continents. I'm sure... sooner or later the world should be"

"I see, indeed, in the world I was in, there was also something like a meeting of representatives from different continents. One day… I hope this world will be the same"

As such, we were to talk about something a little stiff for a tea party, but still, for the first time in a long time, the sun outside began to settle down as we spent some time slowly calming down.

Eventually, when the sun set, he was informed that the ritual was ready, and the time had finally come for the Seven Stars, Elektrale, to take his last.
