Munou To Yobareta Ore, Yottsu No Chikara Wo Eru

"Oh, that... I'm serious... I'm telling you...?

"... yeah"

Room for two.

That was the only space where Cheryl was heartily funny.

I also forgot about Titanomachia there, just because I was able to have a good friend and talk about dinner.

But now, she let it go.

"I want to help Karen. And... he wants out of Titanomachia. with Liesel."

"Cheryl......"

"You know Liselle, too, right? What you're doing to Karen is wrong."

"Ugh... Nah..."

Liesel couldn't return the word.

Because she thought the same thing about it as Cheryl.

"Besides, I don't know what Titanomachia is doing right now...... I really don't think so"

"Oh, no... but we're for the world...!

"For that... can a lot of people die?

"Aww..."

Cheryl's chest hurts so badly.

I didn't want to blame Liesel.

But if you don't tell me, I won't pass it on.

Until now, I haven't dared to tell these stories.

No matter how much doubt I had, because I feared asking her about it would break my current relationship.

And that was the same for Liesel.

Whatever Cheryl didn't say, Lisel felt that she was troubled, and that was beginning to create doubts about Titanomachia's activities.

Are we really right?

"This war... Mr. Cross said it was the foundation."

"Yeah......"

"I mean, if you don't do any more, you can't erase" incompetence "from the world, can you?

……

The ultimate goal of Titanomachia is to extinguish the concept of "incompetence" from this world.

But only Cross and Anna among them know about specific methods such as how to exchange it.

What could be communicated to the members was only a means to get through it, and it had not been revealed what would eventually happen.

"To me...... I can't stand it anymore. Even though Karen alone is like this... a lot of people are still in the war... it doesn't look like they're in full swing yet, but one of these days it's gonna be a big deal"

"Cheryl......"

"I can still stop now. Hopefully we can get out and tell someone we can trust to know..."

All Cheryl knows is that to the end of this war.

I didn't know anything more, but that alone was pretty important information.

"So I go. What about Liesel... what do we do?

"Nah..."

As a matter of fact, Cheryl was still lost, but she dared to explicitly say "go".

Because the root of Cheryl's straying is, by the way, Resell.

If even Liesel would come with me, she thought she could leave Titanomachia without hesitation... that's what I was thinking.

"Liesel, you said it, right? I don't need to kill someone directly... because I can't do it myself. If so, not yet......!

"That's... the story since Titanomachia"

"What?"

"Cheryl may know, but Liesel has his... his own village of birth with this hand... and everyone who lived there...!

"Oh, that's...!

Cheryl had heard from Anna.

Liesel is kicked out of the village as soon as he finds out he's "incompetent," and he meets a cat-shaped demon named Faya while living in the woods.

And he went back to the village to help Fayya, who had become ill, but no one could help him, and he was kicked out of the village again, and Fayya died as a result.

And that the curse that caused the body to be bathed in front had rampaged her magic and turned her birthplace into a pile of rubble.

"Gu... Shit, I don't even remember being honest. How did you... how did you feel...! So, but... I killed a lot of resells! Ugh... so... resell is not like Cheryl...!

"Reseller!"

Cheryl hugs Liesel.

I couldn't... stay without doing so.

"Sorry... sorry..."

"Cheryl Ugh... Ugh... ever since I got into Titanomachia, because I've done so many things Cheryl hates... so I can't go Liesel... and I knew I'd betray everyone...!

Two years after she entered Titanomachia.

That's never a long time in a trick called life.

But for her, who died once at the age of fifteen, it was a noble day above all else.

That's how I felt about the people I spent time with made Liesel decide.

"I really want to be with Cheryl...... but if Cheryl wants to be, stop it. Because... because Cheryl is... Lisel's best friend...!

"Huh! Resel Huh...!

The two hug each other in tears.

I didn't stop.

I didn't even have to stop it.

Instead, Cheryl stops saying, "Let's go together."

I couldn't have tormented Liesel any more.

"Resel...... thanks......"

"That's okay...... because I knew it. Cheryl is troubled... so... now..."

Even if each other thinks of each other, the overlapping paths remain separate.

The environment, the situation, the philosophy, the idea, the slight discrepancy continues to overlap, eventually becoming a great gulf and dividing.

But goodbye... doesn't necessarily mean goodbye.

Because I think, because I can respect their feelings, that's how they sometimes take new paths.

Tonight, the two walked out on a different path.

And now no one knows... that this choice will accelerate the world into further chaos.
