So, what? Ain closed her eyes quietly.

He never showed up like that at all, even where he would almost certainly feel agitated if it were normal.

"You are a strong man. I can't believe I'm not asking you back for lies or truth."

"I didn't expect you to lie in here."

"Heh, yeah. So what did you think and close your eyes?

"Because I wanted to organize the information.... and said it was too close."

I pushed Shannon only gently and carried him over the bed.

Then she liked how she handled it now, which was pleasant.

"There's something I want to clear up for now"

"Go ahead?"

"... Was it me you were after from the beginning? I couldn't save you. Is that me pulling the blood of a dry ad?

Phew, and Shannon grinned and nodded glossily.

"I didn't even aim for Ishtarika. Instead of targeting my sister, I'm not your father or your mother. You resented an individual named me only?

"It's not natural. That's why I came to this country. That day, before Durahan found you protected me, I regretted coming a few more minutes early and not taking my life. I knew about the country they built. It's such a big country... it's a lie you don't know."

As a result, Ishtarika was targeted.

Sitting on the bed, Shannon hears Ain and shakes his legs in an upbeat mood.

He was smiling with innocent pity, unlike the beauty that seemed to stand to smell.

I thought I'd take your place first.

"So he didn't touch me, he tried to manipulate my sister."

"Nice, you're really smart"

"Don't tear it up."

"There's nothing to tear it up.... you'll see later, won't you?

Needless to say, the flow that eventually follows.

The Old King's Capital will only follow the path of collapse.

"He also took my family from me, like you were done, and tried to take my place. Revenge on the Dry Ads who abandoned themselves would be a big deal if they made me that oblivious. As a result, he tried to use it to avenge my bloodline in every country."

"The first half is correct. But... not every country can use it. You think I have that power?

"Huh."

"No matter how powerful I am, do you think I can manipulate all the people of this country to my liking? How many do you think are there?"

"No... then why..."

New questions have arisen as to why we did so in the future.

What happens to Shannon after this, unfortunately, cannot be seen.

"If my powers are influenced by something, I might be able to do it once I gain strength. It's impossible if you don't let your powers run wild, just like before."

"Okay, that seems to have been my mistake"

In other words, the original Shannon was not trying to do anything to Ishtarika itself.

You won't get more information if you ask any more, Ain't think so and get back to it.

I've already avenged the villagers.

"Right. You're the last one left - Marc."

"I see, I finally figured out my motive. So, what do we do?

"What do you want me to do?

That's settled.

"Whether you still want to take revenge on me and take my life."

"What if I say, I think?

"I won't do anything about it. But I won't allow you to get your hands on my sisters."

"What am I supposed to do?"

"You just have to aim at me. A knife is fine. Magic is fine. You can always come after my life."

"Pfft... Pfft... were you really an idiot? Say that..."

Unexpectedly, Shannon held Ain in a agile move.

Then cleverly pull out the sword he had on his hips and poke it into his chest in no time.

... but there was never a way for the blood tide to dance.

"Why don't you avoid it?"

'Cause I thought it was gonna stop.

"Liar, you just couldn't react."

"Then you can lie. But you did stop the sword."

".................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Shannon told him to throw up and throw away his sword.

I follow it, throw myself on the bed and lie down, burying my face in the pillow.

"You can laugh at what I've done as a rebellion."

"No. I resented the whole thing and it was natural"

"Then what? You're saying I'm not guilty of just letting my powers run wild?

"That's different, too. That's not a good thing to reopen, but it's not your fault."

"Don't tell me something I don't understand."

"... because everything was roundabout and unlucky"

Shannon felt heartless about Ain's words.

"It's like a horse deer... but I didn't deserve to exist."

I've never even wept when I was treated like a thing. At the time, I was driven only by the idea of how to avenge him.

But now, because I show weakness, my eyes make me cry zero.

Instead of being poisoned in front of Ain, he seemed overwhelmed with his past, despairing.

"I don't think it was worthless. And from now on, it's not the same as before."

Shannon's tears weakened the momentum to a strong, gentle voice.

"I'll be on your side."

"You're a real idiot. Even though I'm trying to kill you?

Ein didn't flinch, even in a dialogue that would normally scare me.

"It doesn't matter. If you will be the people of Ishtarika, I will always be on your side. If this world becomes an enemy, I will not betray you."

What the hell is he talking about?

Shannon thinking stops at sudden words.

He was intoxicated by a well-deafened rhetoric.

"Bullshit, you're not stupid! What would you do if I killed your family!?

"I'll stop you both. For me, the people of Ishtarika are all family. So if you're going to stay with the people of Ishtarika, it's not going to make any difference to my family."

"... that's not such a trick"

"But it's true. That's what I think."

Ain't even meant to be pretty, if it wasn't a trick.

I had a lifetime of experience, pride, and strong confidence supported by behavior. That's never light.

Words accompanied by feelings cause Shannon to lose words of objection.

"... I just stopped (the sword) somehow. I will never forgive you for who you are."

"I don't mind you liking it. But I'm still on my side."

"I'll say it to you again. Aren't you stupid?

You don't have to tell me. I know a hundred.

"That's what you can say if you like"

There will be another silence I don't know how many times.

Shannon kept his face buried in the pillow and Ain remained seated in the chair.

This time was dozens of long minutes in physical sense, but it hasn't actually been ten seconds.

It was Shannon's phrase, "I'm tired today," that moved this glued spot to an end.

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

As time went by, there was a boy who left the castle.

Just one glasses and a bag in your hand. And he's a gentle looking boy featuring all-back red hair.

He lifts the black stone in his other hand and smiles. Soon afterwards, it looked important in the bag.

"Oh, you have a rare man"

And, Ed, who spoke to the boy.

He kept his back in the corner of the castle gate and looked at the boy as he put his arms together.

"What did you have now? Is it another product of a weird experiment?

"I've got something for the chief. I just don't want the length to go any further."

"For my mother? Weren't you ordered?

"Well, I don't know"

The boy shrugs his shoulders in love.

"It's a terrible shame. Eventually you will die or you will see a weak beast, but what an end to emptiness in your heart. I mean, I'm moaning. You've lost your chance to gain a lot of knowledge."

"What are you trying to say?

"It's everything now."

That said, nothing information seems to have been told.

Then Ed loses interest from the boy and goes back inside the castle.

The two of you split up.

"That one should be as easy to deal with as the bugs in that book. Well, that's not what I'm gonna say."

"I appreciate your advice."

and exchanged words and went back to each other's ways.

On his way out of Castle Town, the boy turns his attention to Castle Demon King. Hierarchy above...... look at the room where Shannon is supposed to be and open his mouth.

"I thought the length was a good specimen."

In his heart, the boy decided to forget the plan (,,) he had been thinking about until then.

Soon, I'll raise my mouth to a new idea.

"In the dawn when the chief could manipulate the demon king (,,,,,,,), he was going to (,,,,,,,) administer this to the chief (,,,,,). I wanted to see how the heart and vengeful mind that wants free love would rampage and how it would increase its power"

That's what he said, and he took the black stone out of the bag.

Then after a slight bitter laugh, the boy's body trembled into small pieces.

His face was cheerful and he had a swinging look like he was immersed in pleasure. Would there be any more joy in accommodating the desire for knowledge?

"Well, there's no need for the chief to betray Ishtalika. Now that the length has just revealed the weakness of his heart…"

He said it was just the opposite.

"We just need to be betrayed from around us, just like she was ever done! I'm sure the change where I almost forgive my heart -"

There are as many elements as you need.

Let's be sweet knowledge again.

"Fine. I'm betrayed by someone I almost believed in... and I'm going to administer it there -"

The boy - - this is how Oz laughed on his youth day.
