Lesson 38: To You Who Sleep

□ Church of the State

Policies have also been set, and Death Period has moved on to preparing for battle.

Everyone on the spot except Ray and Beasley for this pursuit member.

Ray is not in a state where he can move, and Beasley still suffers damage and equipment loss in the Battle. Not only is the equipment naturally restored, but it is also in the process of restoring its durability by asking for a production job that is packed in Wangdu.

"There's no reason to leave one seriously wounded Mr. Ray behind, and hey. Nemesis will be joined in the pursuit. I need a proper guard, right? Tank, right?"

"I don't even need to be told"

In response to Marie's words like incitement, Beasley replied as she pressed up the bridge of glasses.

"Everyone in the Federation, please, are you okay?

Luke spoke to some of the masters being treated at the church…

"Oh. I'd do that if the owner stayed."

"You're not in good shape enough to join the chase..."

Those who traveled with Luke and the others to the church will also remain in Ray's guard.

"I also wanted to tell the subowner about the pursuit... I haven't been able to connect at all since just now."

"Mr. Voinich?

"Yeah. Looking at the friends list, it doesn't seem to be Despena, but did the comms break down or are you putting quite a bit into it? They're going to crush the Imperial stronghold in the north..."

"Well, I'll tell him to head that way when he's connected."

"Please"

Voinich is one of the few combat quasi < super > in the kingdom, so it would be comforting if he joined us as a force... but Luke thought it would be better not to expect it as it stands.

…………

Under this rule, that would not be the case inside Tian's facility, but Luke thought it was still not reassuring.

Location, Beasley or < AETL Coalition >, other than that, I was wondering if I could help protect Ray.

But the clan that Beasley and Marie called in and "who Luke himself clicked on cooperating with" are necessary for Igoronac pursuit and cannot be broken here.

It can't be used in pursuit, but it can be used for escorts.

Such convenient or user-friendly combat power... but I didn't realize it.

He leaves the treatment facility as he continues his thinking and moves to the cathedral.

People have been visiting a lot since morning, and nearly 80% of the benches lined up are buried.

We all pray wholeheartedly for something to think about when the war begins today.

Religion without God, but the act of praying occurs even without God.

Among those praying people......

――――

Luke found one foreign object.

It was a person dressed in black.

It's not the cassock of a Christian priest, nor is it the black of his companions, Ray and Marie.

I was sitting in a bench - a young man with one eye closed wearing a coat with a night sky pattern.

…………

The black young man was silent, not looking at hand, writing something in the notebook in his hand.

Luke has never met him in person. I've never even talked about it.

But his appearance and what he was... I was asking.

Luke decides to get close to him... and asks.

"On which side (...)?

That's a simple question.

A word to ask in a war that you are either an enemy or an ally.

In contrast, the response of the black youth is….

"If This < Tri Flags > Was One Story"

Starting with wording that is not the answer to the question,

"- Killing him sleeping protects him. So which do you think is more interesting (...)?

- I returned it with a question that could be called an answer.

…………

The qualities I was hearing from Ray about words and deeds, lies or true or novelists.

Previous priors examined for possible engagement.

And now, we just exchange words one word or two across the street.

That's all Luke and his involvement is.

But still, there's something I can tell.

The impression Luke had on him by analyzing the information can be explained in two words.

It's 'Pleasant Offender' and 'Performer'.

'Pleasurers' who have made various cases for their own curiosity, not for financial gain.

At the same time, however, he is also a "performer" who attempts to dramatize the expansion.

Ray and others had cleaned up with a word of 'interviewer'.

If you are such a person......

"If I were to say a story... scratching your sleeping neck and leaving Mr. Ray would be a three-sentence novel with all the emphasis on unexpectedness, wouldn't it?

…………

To Luke's words, the black young man smiled silently.

When that's the laugh of affirmation, Luke can tell.

He believes there is a dramatic showcase for the continuation of Ray's story and wants to watch it.

That is why he is one of those who does not wish to leave on this occasion.

Luke was so convinced.

And the silver boy and the black young man together silently, gazing for a moment.

When a short, long time had passed and I heard the voice of Xia calling Luke from outside the church...... the staggering of the two was over.

Luke turns his back on him and walks out of church.

"I'll keep it."

"Let's keep it"

That's how one promise was exchanged between the two of them.

Not sure if he's an enemy or an ally, he can't possibly be used in pursuit, and worst of all, he shoots from the back.

But in one respect, I can trust you, and I can leave Ray's escort to you.

That's the decision... Luke heads to his own battlefield.

And the black youth......

(Massive combat including. As far as I checked the power of the Empire's side beforehand, it's going to be interesting there, too. But now look here (...) Let's)

- [King of Light] For story coverage and colour, Eph is responsible for escorting those who once defeated him.

"... it's Ray. I'm going after them. Because my senses are necessary for tracking."

In one of the treatment facilities behind the church, Ray continues to sleep unconsciously.

Nemesis stood beside his bed, and nobody in this room but the two of us.

The [bishop] of the Church, who has completed his treatment, is out of the room and his companions are ready to go.

Now, it's just the two of us.

"We have to go after him. If we don't, we won't be able to reward those who protected us in the Battle of the Tomb Labyrinth, and this battle itself may be defeated. I'm sure the Lord will say, 'It doesn't taste good.'"

Nemesis talks as she looks down at Ray's sleeping face.

"... glad your lord is asleep. Because if I'd been awake, I would have chased you with me in that body. Your Lord is always too much to do."

Nemesis grins bitterly, stroking Ray's hair to sleep.

"But me to the battlefield with the sleeping lord, huh? It's like that time..."

That was not long before the two of them stepped into this world.

When it was [Grievance Bullhorse Gozmaize].

Even then...... Nemesis set aside Ray to sleep and stepped onto the battlefield alone.

"But now I'm not going to say," Why don't you come? "

Put your hands on Ray's forehead to sleep and whine quietly.

"I will definitely be back here"

Nemesis lifted Ray's forehead only slightly.

"And waiting for the Lord to wake up. The Lord, who always stretches out his body, sleeps and wakes up."

Then you put your face softly closer,

- So now, rest in peace.

- I smashed my mouth on Ray's forehead.

"... Bye, I'm coming"

Tell that to Sleeping Ray, and Nemesis left the room quietly.
