Munou To Yobareta Ore, Yottsu No Chikara Wo Eru

"Time."

Everything was in that word that was briefly conveyed.

Asuna's chain is removed and a rope is placed on her hand.

She had accepted them all without any resistance.

Eddie, the Knights chief who watched that from behind, still feels strongly that she is not a bad person.

Naturally he didn't know the name himself, but he had the skill of "malicious eye."

In his eyes, which had captured all sorts of evil men with their power, Asuna could hardly see the evil man.

But he no longer had the means to stop her execution.

Asuna is taken up the stairs leading from the basement to the ground by soldiers.

Every time she went up one step, she remembered the feeling that her life was diminishing.

My face was disguised as calm, but naturally it is determined to be scary.

She's going to die now.

He is put on the execution bench and beheaded by the executioner in front of the people.

That was already looming in front of me.

There is no miracle, no nothing, pure death there.

Still, Asuna turns forward.

Asuna thought that compared to what she did to Lord, she would be raw and warm from now on.

Guilt stronger than fear of your own death.

In her inherently tender character, that act of stabbing Lord with remorse was unrepentant.

Of course she didn't have the technique to know if he was really dead, but she felt a strong guilt in the act itself.

For Lord without his parents, the closest being was this Asuna.

Therefore, it is unlikely that Asuna, who should have the most hatred for the Lord, would have supported the Lord, albeit on the surface.

She wasn't totally swallowed up by hatred, probably because the kind personality she was supposed to have unconsciously refused to hit it directly on the Lord.

It may also have been one of those factors that she had half-love-like pale feelings for him until Lord was called incompetent.

With her becoming the same incompetence she once was called Lord, she realizes how stupid, malicious and brutal that thought was that she wished she had died of Lord, or giggled at the way people in town treated Lord.

Therefore, there is only one thing she wishes for now.

I want to apologize to Lord. It's just that.

I wanted to apologize directly if I could, but apparently that's not going to happen.

That's why she hung everything on the last words before the execution.

Of course the intelligence magazine won't include words of executed incompetence or anything like that.

But there was nothing more to her than seeing her in the afterlife at the earliest.

When I finished going up the stairs, there was now a dark and long passage.

Ahead there is the square, and there is only an execution table to be set up if there is an execution there.

Eventually, as she entered the light, the square had already been filled with many people.

People start cursing at the same time when she shows up.

But she still accepted it and bowed her head deeply.

Still, naturally, the curse doesn't stop ringing.

From a folk who knows nothing, she had no choice because she is an incompetent criminal who suddenly worked assaults on a family with no sins whatsoever.

Under Eddie's command, she was placed in the centre of the execution bench and instructed to kneel on the spot.

She kneels as she is told, and stretches her spine as she wakes up.

He was Eddie staring with pitiful eyes at the condition, but he followed his position and opened his mouth.

"Quiet."

To Eddie's voice amplified by the demonic stone, the noisy folk voice stopped perfectly.

In horrible silence, Eddie continues his words pale.

"This man is an incompetent girl who suddenly attacked a family without sin of any kind. Therefore, you will pay for your sins with death."

That's when Eddie looked at Asuna.

Asuna does not laugh, she does not grieve, she pushes and kills her fears, and she stares at the square with a serene expression that does not fit on the spot.

The look held his heart back.

Eddie suddenly approaches her and carries a demonic stone to its mouth.

The people, of course, were surprised by the way it looked, even the other soldiers on the execution bench.

Of course Eddie knows it's an act to diminish his own guilt.

I hate myself in the bottom of my heart, but this was nevertheless the result of his contemplating behavior.

We are not given the opportunity to speak to people who are normally executed.

That could lead to driving the executioner crazy at hand, and the fact that sinners screaming like crazy during death and throwing up a nasty curse could adversely affect the people.

However, Eddie perceived from Asna's condition and the phrase "die before death" he heard five days ago that there was something he really wanted to convey, and that he was also prepared to be blamed for breaking the ban.

"Tell me what you think. That's all I can do."

To that Eddie's words, Asna answers with a weak smile.

"Thank you......"

When the conversation between the two, which no one could hear, ended, Eddie put magic into the Demon Stone.

Whoa, whoa.

He didn't get a chance to talk about this after all.

Then I was going to scream "I'm sorry Lord" before I died.

There is a magic stone in my mouth that he gave me.

Let's talk about it all.

All from the beginning.

I inhaled heavily.

'My name is... Asna-Lindtayle. I'm from Ist in Nieberg. First of all, all the family members who made me feel scared because of me...... I am so sorry'

I bow my head.

Only my voice sounds in silence, and I hear nothing else.

Everyone was staring at me when I looked up at people's faces.

Yes... this is the world where the Lord was.

'I had childhood friends. This is the boy who lived in the house next door. I've been playing with him ever since I was a kid. He was so sweet, he was really the best childhood trainer I ever had. I wish we'd stayed close... that's what I thought.'

Everyone is just being quiet because this guy is here, and no one will be listening to me properly.

Still, I keep the word.

So that it reaches the load.

"In our fifteen-year-old year, we were given magic. I got some pretty good magic... but he was incompetent '

When I hear that, the square starts to bother me.

Naturally from everyone.

Because you think I'm incompetent.

'Until then, the best childhood we've ever had, our relationship changes from then on. The moment I found out he was incompetent, I started to feel like he was a terribly pathetic creature. And in the back, I even started to think he should die. It was delightful to see the people in town ridicule him, and I felt superiority by blessing him with a meal like that or pretending to sympathize with him'

The blurring grows.

Still, I went on.

'One day, after three or so years of those days, I'm invited to a party of someone. At the time, I rose to the point that he was so amazing that he was incompetent. And when I told him happily that I was leaving Ist, he had a look of despair just like I imagined. It was a pleasure.' Cause I was the only one talking decently to him, and I knew he might die without me. '

Really I'm... a suck person.

I knew I had to die.

But I have to tell you everything before I die.

All... I have to apologize...!

'So... that night... my farewell party was held at my home. That was the end of it, and I was talking to a friend in the front door. I also noticed that his bedroom window was open... That's when I overflowed with unpleasant emotions in me. I'm not coming back for the time being to Ist anymore, and I don't care about him anymore... Because he said he wished everyone was dead...... wow, I haha! Make it sound like him on purpose! I said terrible things that I never told him directly before......!

I desperately stop crying.

Because I don't deserve to cry.

'The next day...... I visited his house before I left, but he didn't come out. There was no popular Hiraki, and he had apparently gone somewhere. I was really horrible then when I think about it now...... I was most happy with it. I just thought he might be dead...! And... I'm out of town'

The stiffness was even greater.

It's okay...... it's over now.

"Having come so far, I suddenly lost my power for some reason... and became as incompetent as he was"

I lay low about the brave man.

No one would believe me if I talked about being robbed of my powers by a brave man or anything, and if I said that, I'd just buy everyone's anger.

Besides, I don't care about that anymore.

If we can talk to the end, if we can apologize to Lord. So...

'I'm sure heavenly punishment has come down. And by taking the same position as him, I realized how terrible I was doing. But it was too late.'

That's it for next time.

Great...... I can tell you everything.

I hope it arrives... when it arrives...

Oh... no... no more...

'So... I... I am! He's a man to die for. Shh! Thank you for the opportunity to speak at the end......................................................................................................................................................................................................... Oh, and... Ugh... Rhodowo! Sorry.........! I know you won't forgive me... but I'm so sorry...!

I could say......

Now... I have nothing to remember.

I couldn't stop crying.

You are not allowed to wipe that on me.

"I hope you don't mind."

"Ha..."

"Right..."

The square is squatting.

I heard voices like "liar" and "you're not going to fool me".

I am knocked down on my knees and my neck is fixed to the wooden platform.

I could see the great axe the executioner had, but it disappeared from his blurred vision.

That's it...

'Then I will execute my sentence more than this. Purify the sins of this man, that there is no eternal rest in the soul of this man...'

Lord...... sorry......!

That's when a little wind blew and a fierce metal noise rang over my head.

"Become!?

Huh...?

"Ha... Ha...!

The exhalation alone showed.

"Asna... just for the last time... I heard you."

Even though that's not possible.

"Ah... ah..."

I can't speak well.

"What the hell are you...!

I couldn't stop crying.

"I'm Lord Irvine. I'm here to stop this execution!
