Mr Iris has left one person behind to stop Melia.
Whether she beat the sturdy wall she created or not, the blood that seeped from my fist only soiled the wall.
"I can't waste Lord Iris' readiness."
Sif said that to me and Rifa about breaking the wall with a sad look.
I know Sif liked it and didn't say so.
Because I know, I hate my helplessness now. [M]
"What am I supposed to tell Mr. Berse...?!"
"... Kate, take a good walk..."
Now that Elise's golem has vanished, he takes a dim path in the direction of the wind as he lends his shoulder to Rifa.
Lime is still awake and sleeping in my arms. [M]
"Kate, it's too soon to think Lord Iris is dead."
"But, Sif...."
Yuran listens to Shif's voice as he wraps around his torso.
Side by side with us, Shif opened his mouth as he slightly proceeded.
"The god beast, called Meria, values his relationship with his penis. If you kill Lord Iris, you know your pussy will be angry. I might be taken hostage....."
"Better than being killed....."
If that happens, I'll do it. [M]
When you are desperately trying to be positive, you see something like a broken door in front of you.
"The wind is coming from the end!"
Half of the double-opened doors are collapsed and seem to go in from there.
Entering through the door - it exited into a large space with a high ceiling.
There is a fountain in the center of the room, and water is still flowing. Around it was something like a flowerbed that was not planted with flowers.
"It's not an exit...!?"
But wherever you look, you're dead.
Looking at it, there was a hole in the wall in front of the ceiling resembling a vent, from which the sound of the wind was slightly heard.
On one side of the wall below, there was a mural-like painting, and a variety of monsters… No, no, a large blue dragon resembling Phili was reflected in the murals.
"No way, is this... a god beast?"
"Is all of this true?"
Red tiger wrapped in fire.
A black lion that creates something like black ice around it.
An antler with golden lights.
A strange bird lurking in the clouds and wrapped in thunder.
a butterfly with blades
A giant tortoise with all of them on its back.
Others are blurry and invisible, but a lot is drawn on one side of the wall.
In it, I find a picture of the god beast. [M]
"Big snake?"
I don't have three necks like Orochi.
A snake wrapped around it like sleeping underground - I can only tell it's so big.
"Silver dragon, that's what I was called a long time ago."
A voice from behind.
When I realized that the voice belonged to Merliah, I looked back into a cold water feeling.
Huh!?
"No, I didn't think I'd get lost here."
Did you catch up already!?
No, there's no escape here.
Melia threw something in front of us, dragging it with her right hand.
I'll give it back.
It was Iris who slipped on the ground and was thrown out of the way.
The clothes were covered in soot, and we rushed to her completely unconscious.
"Ah, Mr. Iris!... Melia, you!"
"I'm the angriest, but I did my best. Because I was careful not to crush the feathers on top of it."
"That's why...!"
I can't.
Hitting anger here won't solve anything.
Calm down, it's too early to give up.
Melia slowly and deeply breathed into me, with a sad expression.
"I have made every effort for you and will continue to do so. But... don't you like being with me that much?"
"... uhh, that's..."
Behind my head is Merliah's memory.
Having heard her reach and her voice in my memory, I hesitate to answer. [M]
Melia smiles when she sees me like that.
"Now you've been thinking about my past?"
"Nah...."
"I know. But, ahh... you have sympathy for me."
Melia closes her eyes like she remembers something.
Silent for a few seconds, she makes her jumping voice sad.
"At that time, it was so painful that my chest was about to rip open... it was sad. Because she left me in chains... and never left."
I was terribly upset by Melia, who was crying.
Weak, sitting down, she leaked a trembling voice, covering her eyes.
"I don't want to feel that way anymore. So stay with me."
Should I stay?
But if you leave her alone, you'll repeat the same grief...
When I'm confused enough to know myself, Reefa walks out in front of me. [M]
Staring at Melia, who was crying on her knees, she made a cold voice.
"Liar."
"... that's terrible..."
Reefer?
Kate, don't be fooled.
So forcefully, she pointed her finger at Melia. [M]
"I don't know about that time, but you're not sad at all.... Kate can fool you, but I can't fool you. It's too intriguing for a god beast habit. My sister's gorilla is better at lying."
"... fufu, fufufu"
Melia stood up laughing thinly and applauded Rifa, who shouted at her.
There were no tears on that face until now.
"Wow, that's right. Isn't your intuition sharp enough for a beast? No, is it because you're a beast that you're so keen on guessing?"
……
She abandoned us.
Melia's gaze is on me.
I'm the only one here who understands, the one Mary points to.
A blonde woman in my memory.
"He was a traitor who gave priority to man by weighing man and the beast of God. Well, I was sad at first... but if you think about it carefully, he ended up distinguishing us from humans. Never looked at it equally, and decided that humans were weak - leaning towards you... fufu"
Concealing her mouth, she smiled brightly at the situation.
"That's why I'm gone and clean. I laughed at you as much as I could."
Was that a lie?
I didn't think of that in my memory.
I haven't seen anything before, but I didn't think that was what I was thinking.
Melia sees me again in a climax.
"Earlier, I saw your reaction and was sure."
……?
"You're looking at us and the beast of God and humans in the same way. That's why they're standing on our side and thinking."
"What's wrong with that?"
"No, it's not crazy."
I shook my head sideways, feeling even happier about my question. [M]
"What's funny is that all the people except you are."
"Ha!?"
Merliah is slowly approaching us step by step.
Both Rifa and Sif, who was watching Ellis pass out, were on alert, but still Melia kept moving without breaking her face.
"Hey, Kate. Why are we distinguished when we are the same creature? Because you have great power? Because you don't understand? We're supposed to be creatures with souls....."
Someday she slipped through Rifa and stood in front of me.
The referee turned to me, but her hand grabbed my body. [M]
They'll take you away like this!?
That's when I got my instinct - from the fountain nearby. Something blue hit Melia and blew it up.
"Ah, I thought it was time to come out. Damn dragon, Filihert."
"Phew...!"
A body about three meters long.
Ferrihert, a blue dragon with beautiful scales and small limbs, stands in front of Meria to protect us.
"It seems that Kate-sama could not have been taken away, whether she was there or not."
"Ugh!"
I didn't know what happened for a moment when Philip appeared unexpectedly, but I heard her screaming about me.
"Phili... you saved me again..."
"Quah!!"
You came to help me again, just as you did in the Kingdom of Filgen.
"I wonder where your opportunism would have been if I hadn't interfered with humans as much as possible."
"...... Quah......"
"After all, Kate-san is special to you, isn't she?"
Philli gets silent.
Merliah smiled at me with her nose.
"I'm glad the water's nearby."
Huh?
"You can get out of here now. With the power of that dragon."
"...... Quah"
... I heard Philli was moving Behemoth to where he was for a moment.
Is it possible to move other things through water?
"Will you allow me to leave?"
"I won't forgive you.... but if I try to catch you here, you'll have a fight with Ferrihert. If that happens, you won't be alone."
"Phew...."
"That's not what I want either. So I decided to miss it a lot now."
Even so, it's light.
You mean you can take me out anytime?
... for now, let's make it a priority to let Stunned Iris escape.
"... Reefer, let's carry Mr. Iris."
Uh-huh.
While Philip is alert to Meliá, I will move Elise and I, who passed out at Rifa, to the fountain.
After confirming that Sif, Lime, and Yuran were there, she tried to touch Philip, who was preparing for the transfer - and Mary was surprisingly stared at by Philip.
"Please, don't mind."
"... Melia"
"Fufu, isn't that sad? I'm not giving up on you."
Stop the hand that was stretching out to Philip in Melia's words.
Her words and memories have been caught up all along.
Honestly, I want to get out of here right away.
Someday the clothes I'm wearing will be changed to something else and my body is exhausted.
But still, I couldn't turn my back on a god beast named Merliah.
"... Phili, can I ask you something?"
"Khh!"
Philli responds well to my decision. [M]
"Eh, kite...!? What!?"
"Sorry!"
Grab Rifa's hand and let him touch Philip's body.
In the next moment, Philli and the Rifa became light and were sucked into the fountain water.
"... okay"
After confirming that I was alone here, I turned to Melia. [M]
She had an unusual expression of astonishment.
"Why... did you stay...?"
I thought you were lying.
Huh?
Approach Melia defenselessly.
Now that Philip is gone, she will be able to catch me easily.
But upset she didn't try to do it.
Reach out and grab Merliah's right hand - shaking it as it is.
"Now I can't run away from you."
"I don't understand... I can't believe I'm lying..."
The force gripped back is terribly weak.
Looking at what she had at hand, she couldn't afford it.
"Let's talk."
"Ah, uhh... hah..."
Melia is right, I may be seeing the same person as the Beast. [M]
No matter how terribly strong they are, the Beast has the same emotions as humans.
Because I have feelings, I lie, I get upset.
I've been flushed, but I'll try to talk to her from here on out of my own accord.
