Mina watched the battle unfolding in front of her in other personnel.
Rain and Reinhardt.
Canade and Tania and Ofilia.
Ellis and Chiffon.
Each of them had a fierce fight with an angel summoned by Arturius.
They're not the only ones.
The sound of battle came from across the city.
To lift the Zero-type prison.
And there must be a lot of people fighting to protect the city.
"... why...?"
Why are they fighting?
How can you be so desperate?
Mina had such doubts.
"Master Arturius is behind this... so we're going to fight to solve the case?" But even if I do that... "
There's no way we can win.
There was no way they could be enemies.
The opponent was Altrius Greygom.
The man standing at the top of the church.
For Mina, Arturius is equal to God.
I have been educated from such an early age.
Absolute existence.
A wall that cannot be transcended forever.
When that opponent becomes an enemy, it's over.
Loss confirmed.
No matter how much we fight, the end is in sight.
"...... if that's enough...... then......"
Mina stands up flutteringly.
And I looked at Arturius with my faint eyes.
"If I... sacrifice my life..."
That way, Arturius can achieve his goal.
There will be no more vandalism.
Mina knows he's a reasonable man.
"I......"
My legs trembled.
I'm afraid of dying.
I can't help it. I'm scared.
But more than that.....
It is more frightening to be told that nothing is worth it.
I've always lived for the church.
I've been trained to recognize abuse at a glance from a young age when I see people outside.
He was raised to obey absolutely the orders of the church.
And then I became part of the Brave Party.....
When I had to, I was going to give my life.
I've never thought about anything spontaneously because everything was ordered.
That's why it's scary to be told it's worthless.
If you say that, isn't it equivalent to not being worth living for?
Isn't it better to be in this world or not?
Then, finally.....
At the very least, isn't it "good" to do what you think is best?
"...... I......"
Mina fluttered to Arturius.
Walk slowly to give your life.
... just...
This Mina's behavior was not predicted by Arturius.
He judged Mina to be unusable and cut her off.
So, I didn't pay attention to her at all.
I fought with all my might without worrying about getting involved.
"... ah..."
A red angel engaging with Ofelia.
The aftermath of the attack swallowed Mina....
"Dangerous!!"
”Kiiii”
Evacuate the place when someone is holding you.
Immediately thereafter, the flame emitted by the red angel cleared the place where Mina had been until just now.
I rescued her.....
"What the hell are you doing?!"
It was Ellis.
I lowered the hugged Mina to the ground and reprimanded her.
Like a child, Mina shakes her body.
"Right now, this is a battlefield!?" And yet, you want to die in such a daze...? "
"But, but... I... I'm already... worth it..."
"You are...."
Mina trembles like a lost child.
Looking at her like that, Ellis seemed to understand Mina's thoughts.
his eyes widened in amazement.....
Then, I snorted.
“You want to make amends for your sins by sacrificing yourself?”
"I-I don't know... but I can't do anything anymore... I'm worthless." so at least..... "
"Don't be sweet!!"
"Ah!?"
Ellis's strong voice beats Mina's heart.
