Sixty-six Tales: Ashes and Relics, Part II

In front of the person who opens her mouth small and utters an outrageous sentence, the girl makes her mouth snap as she waves her toes.

"But, other dust servants... the demons made of animal bones and shadows can move around as they please when they are not given clear orders, and they can talk and move to the extent that I don't deviate from the orders I've received, too.

I mean, you're not ruled all the way to your heart. So sometimes I stretch out the 'uvula hair' to feel the light and snow outside. And it was my will to grab your foot when I first met you. I was wondering if you were trying to take control of me because of the blood.

I tried to catch him. But you just cry, 'cause you don't say a spell at all. Come on. "

"Hey, hey!

Ash clutches his hand to interrupt the girl's dialogue, which could last forever if left alone.

I approached defenseless and asked with a face that was about to turn blue.

"He said if the dust didn't come back, he'd throw me out... what do you mean?

"It doesn't mean as it is. If the dust is killed by the snobbers, we'll have a snobbers' hand here."

"I didn't hear that! He said he was bound to win...!

The girl looked up at Ash and laughed. "It's sloppy," I told him to snap, teasing his wire-like hair with his fingertips.

"Men usually lie at the end of the day, even honestly. Father... Rayakels, too, when the brave Hilnor chased me out of this country, he did say," It's okay, "but it's not okay at all. He died on his own, and he's gone..."

But, and a girl narrows her eyes with no eyes, shaking her smooth, threadless human bone body.

"You can't help it in Ash's case, can you? When Dust promised to win the battle, it was only natural for common sense that he snuck up on me and asked me to lose."

"Common sense...!

"If I swear I will win. Can you win?"

The girl leaning her neck said, turning off her grin. "Why?" continues Ash, clapping his mouth at her.

"If I ask God, can we dictate the outcome of the killing? If you pray, can you manipulate people to live and die?... Hey?

"... it's..."

"If you can win by oath and prayer, you won't be doing the same thing."

A girl reaches for Ash's face. While enjoying the soft skin, the girl's eyes burn with a blue and white flame.

"If people can save you with 'thoughts', no one will have a hard time. Huh?"

Ash's throat made a strange noise. I grab the girl's hand and stare back.

"I know that."

"You don't understand. Dust thought about when he screwed up. I fought as hard as I could, and I assumed calmly when it still didn't work.

You didn't just pray and wish for miracles. "

"I'm useless!

A screaming ash pushed the girl's hand away, gaining momentum and kneeling to the ground.

Hold your arms, hold down your throat that is about to squeeze up, and prepare your breath.

"We can't fight together... because we're weak, because we can't use our swords, our magic... and Dust also said that we're going to get our feet together..."

Look up at the girl, gush, and swallow.

"I can't do anything, I can't do anything for you! So even if it might be pointless, believe me, I was praying! Dust told me that would make me stronger!

... I'm doing the role he gave me... like an idiot...!

- You're gonna regret this.

A girl said, turning her eyes back to the quiet lake-like color again.

And when he sat down, he shouted at Ash again.

"I absolutely regret it. At that time, I thought I should have taken action other than prayer, after I was alone. I can only feel the effects of prayer when things work out.

If someone dies wishing them well... it will be the same as if they didn't do anything. "

……

"Stop it. Don't cry in this hole warehouse regretting your prayers. Don't do the same with me.

I can show you that, 'cause it didn't just happen. "

Ash glanced at the girl's words.

He looks away from Ash, who opens his mouth pompously, and for some reason the girl says it in a shanky tone.

"The same thing happened when Rayakels died... the first demon king of Coffin left me in the stone room to go on a death escape. Because I didn't want Hilnor to destroy a monster made of the bones of my daughter and people close to me.

I wished the Demon King well and lost him forever, doing nothing. And I've been regretting it here ever since. "

"... did you like Rayakels?

"My personality is imitating his daughter's! Just like the flesh and blood!

The tail of the spine made a noise as if it were a sign of passion.

Drop your voice as the girl stares at the ground to Ash, who puts her hand on her mouth.

"So... in the battle of the second demon king, I don't want you to do the same thing. You're me. I'm in the same position as I used to be.

I don't want you to recreate the past.... That's why I came out in front of you now. I've hardly spoken to Dust. "

"............... name, what is it? Look, you told me first, it's a long time. Was that the name of Rayakels' daughter?

The girl repeats the name she uttered once again.

Ad rado wentico camcrux.

Ash repeated quietly and then said, "Can I call you Ado?" Ask. The girl twisted her neck once and then nodded ambiguously.

Calling herself a failure, she has feelings like a burden for Rayakels' real daughter.

Ash called the girl, the relic, in the name of a man.

"Ado, I'm not very smart. I'm not familiar with witchcraft or war.

I can't think of any way to help him without being a dust foot wrapper... and honestly, I don't know how Dust is going to defeat Snowba. "

"If Dust didn't take me... the artifact to the battlefield, I'm sure he'd attack it in a way other than a force push.

I don't know the exact way either, but... I don't think there's ever going to be anything in my way when my life is really in danger "

"Ado wants to go help Dust?

"Dust's orders stand in the way of that. I have to update the role of waiting till night to get you out of here."

UPDATE? and in front of Ash, who frowned, suddenly from the giant between the walls, a bone hand stretched out. To Ash, who wears a little butt cake, the bone hands show off the flickering part of his armor.

The back of the white bone's hand is creeping like a blush of red and black blood.

Ash, who was leaning her neck for a few seconds, sees Ado's face all the time.

"I dropped it in the altar hole, the blood on my butt wound!

"Your name and answer. Dust said the magic of manipulating corpses requires the blood of the surgeon as a medium, right?

You're the only one who can disarm and update the magic you've done to me on this occasion, Ash.

That's the only thing you can do. "

"... but he said that magic can't be used without great training..."

"Unless the thing to be manipulated cooperates with the surgeon himself. Witchcraft is a technology that does a favor to alien things, things that people have to do. If they're going to ask for a favor from the beginning, even amateurs can reproduce it if they have the right medium and spell."

Spells.

To that word, Ash held his head and said, "Ahhh...!" and groaned.

"What is it?! That's right, Dust said it before...... er..." The Burning Fire of Black Stars "... not" Black Deep Stars "... oh, like there was a word for heart...!

"I'm sorry, but I can't teach you the spell, can I? Magic will not succeed if I direct it, because it is an absolute condition when casting a spell that puts the clear will of the operator on it"

"Damn! So I have to remind myself of that long spell!?

"It's more rewarding than praying, isn't it? Good luck, Ash. Let's fight our fate together!

In front of Ado, who holds both hands a long time ago, Ash says, "Wow!," he began to wriggle the thread of his memory desperately.
