The scaffolding collapses and the debris rises.
There was a big hole in the floor.
Iris is swallowed up in it.
I...
"No, Iris!!!
I ran to Iris.
Whip your screaming body and run as hard as you can...
I grabbed Iris' hand as he was about to fall to the bottom of the earth with the rubble.
"Gu!"
"Master Rain!?
Barely succeeded in connecting Illis.
Make sure you crawl belly on the floor and grab an Illis hanging out in space with one hand while supporting your body with the other.
The hole where Illis is about to fall is deep and I can't see the bottom.
No matter how powerful the species is, it will be over if it falls here.
"Awesome because what are you doing!? Helping me..."
"It would be decided to help!?
"I don't know what that means! Are we enemies? If I die, it will all end... how could I do this?"
"Why am I mistaken?"
Ahhh.
Illis is a smart kid, but you're twisted in strange places.
Wasn't this intent communicated?
Then I'll tell you as many times as I want!
"I want to help Iris!
"Become..."
"Iris' revenge will not stop. And at the end of the revenge, is Illis going to die? That's why I tried to stop Iris. By sealing it, I tried to end it."
"It's..."
"Because I want Illis to live... I can't believe it's over... because I can't admit that. So this is how I'm getting desperate!
……
Connected with one hand, and floating in the universe, Illis is pompous...
Eventually, I laugh with a tickle.
"True... you act outside of my common sense, Lady Rain,"
"I'm good at amazing people."
"Such a Lady Rain, I..."
Maybe you were attracted.
In a small voice, Iris said so.
"Ku......!
Because of all the screaming all over my body, I can't help myself.
We can't pull up Illis, and the status quo is best maintained.
In addition, the collapse of the ruins is progressing.
Rubble falls all over the place and the vibrations get louder and louder.
How about this, ten minutes before the ruins collapse...?
"Illis, get over here quickly......!
"But..."
"I can't believe you're dead and that's it... that's just never gonna work!
"Dear Rain......"
"If I die, I'll end up there. What, everything's gone! It's cowardly to say this... but my fellow Iris, my family wouldn't have been able to live, even if they wanted to!? So, for the sake of my family, for the sake of my people... live!
"Huh...!?
Iris opened his eyes wide...
You grabbed my hand.
"So go."
I tried to pull up Illis.
but I still can't help it.
"Come... Illis, fly over here..."
"Excuse me... I don't have any more power left..."
"Well... then keep holding my hand tight. I'll take care of it later."
"Dear Laine... how could you..."
"Yeah?"
"Why are you trying to help me...?
"I have a lot of things... in a nutshell, I guess it's because I'm a person"
"Because you're human...?
"That's what I thought I wanted Iris to live. He just wants me to be alive... that's how I thought."
"Such an unscrupulous... isn't it rational or nothing..."
"That's what it's all about, people's hearts."
"People's... minds..."
Repeat my words. Iris looked like he'd never seen it before.
"Knock."
At last, the ruins are ringing more violently.
The ceiling collapses and the walls fall.
The hole in the floor was getting bigger, and he was about to swallow us.
"Lady Rain, that's enough......! As it is, until Lady Rain..."
"Fine......! Because I will definitely help......! I've come this far because I want Illis to live... and I've given up on this place like this."
"... Dear Rain..."
With the universe hanging, Illis stares at this one...
Eventually, I smiled gently.
"Really... you're a stranger"
"Illis......?
"I can't believe you're trying to help me like this... I've never seen such a person, Lady Rain. Fools."
"Even if they say you're stupid, I won't stop!
"Pfft... I can't tell you that. Because... I'm glad to hear how Laine feels."
Illis remained the same, smiling.
What is it?
For some reason, I had a bad feeling.
"It doesn't matter what reason is, just act the way you think... that's people's minds. A little, but I also understood."
"What..."
"Think about it, you've never done anything like this before... that it moves for someone. I've lived for a long time... but really, for the first time..."
"Iris, what are you talking about? Hold my hand tighter than that..."
"Lady Rain."
blocked my words and said them in a strong tone by Illis.
"I wanted Lady Rain to live..."
"It's..."
"I've lived for revenge only... but the last thought I had was for you... hehe, that's very funny"
"... wait. Wait, that doesn't work!!!
Understanding what Illis was thinking, I raised my voice.
But...
Iris had already decided the answer.
I was ready.
So you can't stop her...
"Dear Laine. Finally, can I have one selfishness?
"Don't say the last thing! Here..."
"If you could see me again... could you make a pact with me then? Or can't you make a pact with something like me?
"That's not true! That...... Huh!!!
"Phew, good"
Illis laughs quietly......
And he shook my hand off.
"... Goodbye. Kind, Mr. BeastTamer......"
The body of Illis floats in the universe...
And fall.
I reach out, but I can't reach...
"Irisoooooo!!!!!
Illis is grinning to the end...
As it was, it disappeared to the bottom of the earth.
