"... ugh"

Night breeze softens.

I was sweating before I knew it.

After all, don't be nervous talking one-on-one after all that's happened.

But there was a harvest.

Until now, there have been places where I don't know about Iris and where my feelings have not been set.

I remember getting lost somewhere.

But I'm not lost anymore.

Believe in your path and push.

"Nevertheless, whether or not everyone will be convinced..."

"Guys, who are you talking about?

"Of course that..."

A cold sweat broke out.

I get nervous in a different way than before.

"That voice...... Tania?

"Nyah... I'm here too"

"There's Sola too."

"I'm here too!

"I... am there, too?

"We're here, too."

Guys, we had a lot of momentum.

It was night, so Tina was floating around the area fluffy.

"Why..."

"You think you can sneak us out?

"... I can't"

It may deceive around Sola, Luna and Nina, but it won't be possible to 'sneak' at Canade and Tania against them.

"Not to mention some hell of a sign I remember. It's weirder if you don't notice."

A hell of a sign would mean Illis.

"Did you get that round?

"If I hadn't been careful, I wouldn't have noticed."

"But once I was conscious, it was easy to notice."

He looks angry somewhere, says Canade.

I don't know why you're mad...

Well, you don't even have to think about it.

I can't believe I was seeing Iris on my own... he worried me.

"Rain, Rain. Are you all right? Arms on?

"Don't worry about me being sassy... my arms are on and I'm not hurt anywhere"

"Ha-ha-ha, good..."

"So... what the hell were you doing with that Heavenly Clan?

Tania's eyes have turned to Zito, feeling like an inquiry.

At that time, everyone else is turning a jito eye.

This... is not going to be deceptive.

"Actually..."

I had no choice but to be honest and tell you everything.

――――――――――

"Yes, what..."

Listen to me...... Canade, knowing about Ilis' past, looked indescribable.

The same goes for everyone else.

I can see sympathy for Illis.

"... but I don't think Iris is right."

Slightly, I said it clearly so Tania would cut off her strays.

Nina looks sad.

"Tania, do you... feel sorry for me, don't you...?

"... I think so. I have other personnel... like myself, I'm angry."

"Then..."

"But what Illis is doing is wrong. Correct, there's absolutely nothing like that. If you're going to kill those people back then, it doesn't matter who you are right now."

Tania makes an affirmation.

To that word, I...

"Doesn't matter...... I guess that doesn't stop with that kind of reasoning anymore"

"I won't stop, of...?

Nina says it all the way back.

With such a stroke of Nina's head, I speak of the mind of Illis, who thought of me.

"It doesn't matter to Ilis, past or present. I hate people for making a scene about humans and for taking my people away from me."

"Who did terrible things to Illis... even though he's not here anymore...?

"Still, I'm not stopping. I can't stop it."

"What, so...?

"I can't explain it in words... because people's minds are often inseparable by reason"

"Mmm... yeah, maybe"

She convinced herself to be Nina, and she kept her sad face on, but there was no further inquiry.

"Nyah... what do I do now?

"Can't fight anymore?

To Tania's inquiry, Canade makes a difficult face.

"... I think it's a little hard to fight. It might not work like it ever did."

"I know how you feel... but you should be ready."

"In Nha?

"'Cause there's going to be a crusader, right? Then we don't need to find a way to seal it anymore. It's going to be a real clash."

"... we're going to fight"

They thought about that time, and Canade had a complicated look on his face...

Then look here.

"Nyah... So, what's Rayne going to do? Fighting Illis? Maybe we'll get backup, too, right?

"Oh, that bothers me too! What's Rayne going to do?

"Maybe... to learn about Mr. Illis' past and not be able to fight anymore...?

Luna and Sola have also asked.

Although it's the mouth that doesn't open, Tania and Tina would be thinking the same thing.

"I can fight...... but I won't"

"Nha?

Canade tilted her little neck.

"What, what's the answer like that Zen question? I'm a pussy."

"Shut up, Luna."

"Ugh, uh-huh."

Sora blocked Luna's mouth.

What is it at a time like this...

Sora and Luna are as usual.

But there's something about being healed by those two attitudes.

"Rain, what do you mean?

"I don't have Luna, but I'm not sure what Rain's husband is trying to say."

Tania and Tina looked strange with all of them.

Well.

From now on, I'm going to tell you what I'm thinking...

Will everyone agree? Will you convince me?

I just get a little anxious.

But... there's nothing to hide.

Explain it properly...

And if possible, I want you to agree. I want you to convince me.

Because we're buddies.

"I'll stop Illis. But I'm not going to fight and defeat you or anything like that. As planned, find a way to seal it... so, again, I'm going to get Iris to sleep."

"I see... so fight but not fight,"

"But why are you so adamant?

"If it stays like this... I'm sure, because Illis will die"

"How could you conclude that?

In response to Tania's inquiry...

I answer quietly, reflecting on my conversation with Ilis, holding my feelings in my chest again.

"From Illis, I didn't feel anything like a willingness to live. He seemed to want a place to die. I'm sure Illis will take revenge and punch his hatred everywhere... so I think he's going to die. I think he's going to go to his people."

"... Nah..."

You imagined the sight, and Canade's ears sink.

"But I don't like it when Illis dies. I don't think Iris is a good kid to die for. So I'll stop Iris from avenging me. Stop revenge to keep Illis alive. That's my conclusion."

……

Guys, shut up and listen to me.

Waiting for my next word.

"I will not cooperate if the Crusaders come. As always, I'm going to find a way to seal it. That's how I'm going to stop Illis. But this is my selfishness. But... if possible, to everyone..."

"Fine."

Canade blocks my words and laughs gently.

"Uh... I haven't said it until the end yet..."

"You want us to help you, too, right? Yeah! I wouldn't have a problem with that. Good luck for Rayne."

Canade turned his fist around and showed him a gutsy pose.

"I have no objection either. Well, I really have a lot to say... but if that's what your husband says, I can't help it. I'll shut up and obey you."

"Sora has no problem either. Because Sola is not so flirtatious as to abandon her after listening to what she's saying."

"Luna agrees with Rayne too! I have a generous heart, ha-ha."

"I, too... I want to do something. Cancer, bulk......!

"We follow Rayne's husband, too. Is that a bad way of saying it? Vote for those who seal us too. Crusade doesn't taste too bad."

"... thanks, guys"
