I refused to rescue Philli, and there was only one person left in the ruins. I was trying to talk to Melia.
There is no fear.
She opens her mouth in a hurry to me, staring straight at Melia.
"Wow, don't you think I'm going to force you in? Nobody gets in the way of Ferrihert right now."
"That's when it happens."
"... uu"
I know I will never physically defeat you.
Turn around and be strong.
Talk after a deep breath to get down to business.
"When I saw your memory, I did feel sorry for you."
……
"I don't know what happened to that guy who sealed you up and went somewhere... but I thought he was terrible."
I have no idea what the blonde woman in my memory was trying to do or what she was thinking.
However, Merliah's feelings at that time were strongly conveyed to me. [M]
"You must have been sad..."
Huh?
"I really wanted you to stay. So I reached out."
At that time, Melia looked like a child.
Fear left alone.
Sadness that I had realized that I would never come back.
Such emotions cannot be changed by being half-life.
"The lies you lied to me were against Rifa's words."
I laughed at the blonde woman in my memory.
I don't think her tears were a lie at that time.
Of course, it would be true that you tried to seduce sympathy and retain me, but I was really sad and driven by the feeling that my chest would be torn apart.
In my words, Mary shakes her head weakly. [M]
"... no."
"I've been waiting a long time. I was going to hate it."
"No!"
Denied to scream, she waves away the hand she was shaking.
For a moment, I looked at her hands, and she was stunned, but she immediately said something to appeal to me.
"What I hate is true! He didn't come back! You were possessed by crazy delusions, and if you were on our side, you'd be done! More than that, I chose a human being... and died unusually..."
Melia, who cried and spoke with emotion, hugged me to jump at me with momentum. [M]
Melia shook her voice when I managed to hold her in a mood where her consciousness jumped to make her feel the strength that was not half alive.
"Kate-san, don't go... don't leave me... I don't like it anymore..."
"Is that what you really mean..."
"The truth is, it was hard to miss you... why did you stay...!"
I meditated on Meria, who begged me.
What I was trying to do earlier is the same as the woman in my memory.
Turn your back on her trying to retain her.
Perhaps she had some sort of temptation to miss me, but still, the painful ones are determined to be painful.
... my spine is starting to pinch, so I try to slowly put my hand on her shoulder and pull it away - but she won't let me go.
I can't stay here.
I don't like it.
Further tightened torso.
Oh, my God, you're gonna die...!?
Tough... but patient!
Keep your mouth shut as you desperately keep your body from breaking your expression.
I'll see you again.
"Ah, that's a lie."
"I'm not lying."
"I won't be fooled!"
I can't help but see me trying to escape. [M]
But this time it's not just a lie.
I give up forcing you to pull it off, and talk firmly.
Then I'll be back here in about three days.
Huh?
"If you break your promise, cook and bake as you like. I won't resist."
Merliah, who lost her words to me when she spoke clearly, spoke the words of doubt while upset.
"Why, why?"
"... I can't stay with you forever"
Reefer's mission as a Servant.
Help Hakuro captured by Nia.
I have something to do as a valiant servant from now on. [M]
We cannot ignore it.
"If you stay here, you'll be safe."
"I guess so. Still... it's something no one but me can do."
To put it that way, she wipes her eyes off me with her sleeves. [M]
After a few seconds of silence, she unexpectedly looks behind me. [M]
"---Firihert, please take Kate outside."
Huh?
Looking behind her words, there was Philip who was just showing his face in the fountain.
Apparently you were worried, but Philli looked at her and me alternately, turning her eyes to Melia's words.
Apparently, he's surprised to see Merliah change.
"... Melia?"
"Only one person has ever admitted defeat. I remember being beaten down from the front and crawling through the ground in pity....."
She laughs happily with her crying eyes open.
The smile was a smile that made me feel a heartfelt love, unlike the one that mocked and laughed at the other person before.
"You're the second."
"I didn't mean to defeat you....."
"No, it's a complete defeat. This is the first time you've defeated a god beast without fighting."
This time, Melia will hold my hand and pull me to the fountain where Phili is.
But that's where your body relaxes.
I didn't know whether I was standing or not, and my vision shook, and Melia supported me.
"That's the limit.... I'm really sorry for letting you hang out with me this time."
……
"But I think it's good to see you."
My body, which was close to its limit, is about to pass out here because I was forced to pull out the physical strengthening.
As she peered into my face, even my consciousness was falling into oblivion, she called out.
"---You shouldn't have stayed in this lonely ruins. That stupid picture... I understood when Orochi turned his back on me. That's why I tried to choose another option - you slightly exceeded my expectations."
From Melia to Philip.
Phili's body, which I received on my back, gradually became wrapped in light. [M]
Before that, I managed to keep my consciousness and look at Melia, but at the very least I made a voice.
"See you again...."
"...! Yes, I look forward to seeing you next day."
With the feeling of sinking into the water, your vision is wrapped in light.
So I finally closed my eyes and entrusted myself to a pleasant feeling of water.
●
I peeked into the fountain where Felichert with Kate on his back disappeared.
Confirming that his remnants have completely disappeared, I break my cheeks.
——— The truth is, when Felihert came out, he decided to let Kite-san escape.
But Miss Kite stayed.
Going further in my thoughts, I won.
"I'm glad I kept that half-wit alive."
I can use that half elf.
I thought she was just a half-wit involved, but she was in an interesting position.
That's why I just played it lightly... and now I'm very thankful for it.
"But... it's sad."
Kate will keep her promise.
Three days from today, you will be sure to bring your feet to this ruins.
But no matter how much I want to see him, I can't come to see him.
Because what we're going to do is we're going to have to keep it a secret from Kate.
"Phew."
Oh, you're here.
Felihert who returned Kate-sama appears here.
As usual, it can't be humanized, but it doesn't really bother this idiot dragon that much.
He's as angry as ever with the weather.
"Khh!"
"Doesn't it suit you? That's great, but we'll keep it that way for now."
They'll hate you for your usual rough words.
Until now, I thought it would be fine if you hated me, but now I definitely don't like it.
This sentiment never even touched him.
"I thought it would be okay to keep it sealed, but I changed my mind. I've changed my schedule, so I'll play with you for the first time in a while to destroy this annoying seal."
"... quah?"
"As usual, just one small mouth.... well, I don't mind if you help me."
The battle between the Beasts has never been fought since he died.
A god beast that became a dust beast throughout the continent.
Some are already awake, while others are asleep forever.
Only one thing is certain: the Beast reigns at the top of the ecosystem, as it did back then.
If that happens to us, it will have a huge impact on nature, but I intend to keep this battlefield only within the ruins.
"Quah?"
"That's fine. There are no more ruins like this."
The foundation of the seal is the ruins themselves.
It is the place of our old memories - the place of the curse that we have been reluctant to destroy for so long.
But I don't care about places like this right now.
Kite-sama, this kind of insipidity doesn't suit places that stink.
We need to get you a better place.
"You and I will destroy it."
As the phillihelt jumps out of the fountain into the air, it enlarges its body.
In line with this, I will also change my body to something close to my original appearance.
At the same time as I finish changing each other, I crawl the earth, and Felihert lifts up his majesty while summoning a lot of water.
Deep... it's the bottom of the deep ground - the battle of the god-bound beast begins.
