After enjoying the cocktail that Mr. Iris made for me, I cut the point to Anima while eating the knobs that were served.
"So Anima, I need to talk to you... Mr. Faye and his mother and father. Looks like they're both trying to walk over, but it doesn't really work out. I was just wondering if there was any better way."
"... I see that's a difficult issue. I have experience too."
"Even to Anima?
"Yeah, as your husband knows, I was a former Black Bear...... demon. And being such a demon, I became a person...... it took me a while to get used to it. When I was a demon, it was common sense for me to solve things I didn't like with force."
That's what they said and reminded me of Anima when we just met...... Anima back then, that was what really fought so fast like a knife from the body.
I guess that's because where I lived as a black bear, the sole was the norm. But then gradually Anima stopped treating them as intimidating as she did around the beginning.
And now he is wearing common sense and upbringing, and he is transformed into a being who can safely be entrusted with many things.
"Lord Faith is God, even if he looks similar, values and the like should still differ from the people. Even though I only lived as a demon for about 20 years at most, it was quite a hassle. It may be harder for Lord Faith, who has lived for years, to change himself more than himself."
"... I see, by the way, Anima said she changed her mind, or is there something like that triggering it?
"... right. Now, in retrospect... you were inspired to see Lord Alice. Until then, I was looking down on my surroundings. Because I was a stronger individual than the rest of my family, anything but your husband and Shalovanal… deep down in my heart, maybe I was looking down"
Tilting the glass gently, Anima gives a look somewhere nostalgic for the old days.
"Even then, Lord Lilia was far stronger than himself, but he never saw the actual battle firmly... and vaguely now he probably thought he could win sooner or later even if he didn't"
"That's what changed when you saw Alice?
"Yes, sometimes I initially thought of Lord Alice as a human being... but seeing the battle against Lord Sigma in the example was the thought of freezing my spine. Lord Bacchus, who then appeared, also had great power, but more so than Lord Lilia… I felt the power of the Unbottomed from Lord Alice."
I see, Anima probably has an olfactory sense of instinctively identifying the strong because of the long time she has lived as a demon.
From that battle with Sigma, I instinctively felt and feared one end of Alice's power, arguably the most powerful in the world.
"I felt terribly tiny. I wonder why I was flirting in such a low place...... from there, as your husband knows, I feel inferior to Lord Alice...... at your husband's word, I can walk forward. From there, right? I think my values have started to change since I started not looking low around"
"... I see, perception changes, some kind of cut..."
"Yeah, but I guess it's best to have a big trigger... but I don't even think it's going to be that easy. So it's still a moonlight way, but shouldn't we have more seats where we can talk to each other?
I do feel like Anima's best idea here. Whether Faith's values change or the motivation to connect to them appears... opportunities are needed.
Actually, the problem is that the outfield doesn't change anything immediately. But I can also prepare such a place, which is outfield.
"Thanks Anima, I think I see something to do somehow"
"If it helped your husband, more importantly,"
Yes, I'll let you in between. I'll have a tea party or something. I'll give Mr. Faith and his parents a lot of opportunities to meet. It doesn't matter if you were talking over me at first.
You just need to make it easier for me to talk about it without hurry. If we had a lot of conversations like that, we might find something like an incentive to change someday.
If I couldn't find it, I couldn't find it. So let's think of another means again then.
Feeling his sight open slightly, holding a glass with a cocktail in his hand, Mr. Iris opened his mouth as he offered a small plate with a dish like Carpaccio on it.
"If so, let me give you this word. He was instrumentally poor, but everything was to the extent of second-class genius. Even so, the idiot who worked out everything to be super first-rate over the years used to say it." The letter "Impossible" in my dictionary is in red bold, but there is no word to give up "..."
"... that's a good word"
"Oh...... and 'It doesn't make sense to think about whether you can get over it in front of a big obstacle. What we should think about is how we can get over that wall, right?' You also said. Well, that's kind of positive... I have a best friend who's dumb enough to shrug."
I won't give up even if it's impossible. I don't know how I would make the impossible possible if I had time to give up... that's right, I'm just called a hero in another world. That's a good word.
Well, there's some guy rolling down the ground with his hands down his bright red face behind him, but he decides not to care... thanks to Anima and Mr. Iris, I saw what I needed to do. All you have to do is act.
