To be honest, I felt suspicious about him.
But I don't know what to say... I didn't think he was the bad guy when I suspected him.
I don't know why I thought so.
I don't know, but I still have that feeling.
"There is no escape. I know you're a god beast."
"... ahh, no matter how good the pseudo-state is, the same god beast will know."
Nodded to agree with Mr. Bern, he reached out to the backpack on his shoulder.
With that much movement, Amya and Nava, who were nearby, went forward to protect us.
"Amia...!?"
"Nava!?"
……
I was surprised at the two of them who turned around and warned from the pleasant appearance earlier.
With her eyes turned to killing, Russell sat down on the ground with the backpack on her back.
"Don't worry. I'm not gonna hurt you anymore, Kate."
"Mr. Russell...."
"You can reveal who you are here, but for me, the basement is not a good place to reveal who you are. I'm sorry, but I'll let you talk like this."
Sitting and breathing lightly and deeply, he glances at me.
He speaks when he learns the feeling of sight but does not distract his eyes from deep blue eyes.
I was trying to kill you.
!
You were trying to kill me?
I get upset by the shocking words, but I realize that there is a reason to do only that from his appearance. For now, I swallow the surprise - keep calm.
"Is there a reason?"
"... how good would it be if you were angry here? I knew you were more than I expected."
Smiling without strength, he starts to murmur with his gaze pointing to the ground.
I wanted to help you.
Huh?
"Even if you push with good intentions, your fate to wait for you... is too harsh..."
You tried to kill me because you wanted to help me?
Not only me, but Reefa and Nia looked puzzled, but Mr. Bern and his family nodded as if they were convinced somewhere.
"Fillion and Medullarium. You were suddenly fascinated by the dangerous among the beasts I knew. Besides, I was destined to get deeply involved with the Beast."
"... that's why you tried to take your life before you walked through a bitter fate.... that's not something I don't understand."
Mr Bern has agreed.
Mr. Leon's credibility is extremely low...
Well, he seems to have a lot to hide, and I can't defend him because he's in the middle of doing what he did in the past.
"You and I have the same suspicions about Filion. What was different was that they were in the same position."
"Well, I guess so. You can't move in this ruins with the humans... watching Rifa and Nia grow. I was a god beast traveling around."
I wonder what would happen if Mr. Leon were here.
I'm sure you're making her laugh, but somehow... she deserves it.
"If there are other god beasts that can take you prisoner, I'm not going to let them take your life. Sometimes I tied you up and used your eternal time as a tool to exploit magic.... no, actually, it wouldn't have been strange for Medullarium to do such a cruel thing."
"Yes, no, she almost imprisoned me, but I wasn't treated that badly, was I?"
"... if you're about to be imprisoned..."
"It's for Melia."
"Haaaaa...."
Russell and Bern sigh as much as they can.
No, I hate magic tanks.
"Kite-kun. You say it because you're somewhat paralyzed... but Medullarium is a terrible god beast?"
"That's right. He's a dangerous god beast, and at the same time, he's in a tough mood. If you lose your mood, you'll be jailed for as long as you want."
"Well, I don't think she's that bad...."
For some reason, Mr Bern preaches too.
No, it's true that he was about to be imprisoned, but he helped me with Philip in the St. Real...
"I think Melia just missed her, too. Well, I know she's leaping in shadows right now... but I still believe that she's not a human being right now."
"... can you say the same to Fillion?"
"No, Mr. Leon has a little too many secrets to defend....."
Melia is just hiding or not talking, but Mr. Leon knows and doesn't talk, so it's hard to defend.
It's not that I still don't believe her.
I didn't realize you were trying to kill me.
"... yeah. It's creepy, right?"
"Honestly, there is fear. But...."
After hearing his eyes and the story he was trying to kill me, I finally realized who Mr. Russell was.
So I finally understood why he didn't mean to kill me, but pitied me when I met him at the St. Real.
The way things were done, but he moved for me. [M]
It was fun.
"Ha...?"
I've investigated the ruins, I've spoken to them.
I'm sure this man lied to me only about hiding his identity and about trying to kill me.
There were no other lies.
"So I forgive you. You tried to kill me... at the St. Real."
Miss Russell's eyes shake at my words. [M]
Reefa and Sif, who are nearby, are looking confused.
"The St. Real? What does that have to do with... ah"
"I see! Oh, my God! Mr. Russell, you...!"
Before we met as Russell, we met him.
Faced up, he smiles in surprise.
"Even though it was short, I enjoyed my ruins with you. Besides, it's been a long time since you and Bern's family fought so hard... that I forgot my purpose and supported you."
I know.
Sister, read the air.
Mmm.
Mr. Narva is pulled sideways by the collar.
While laughing bitterly at her, Russell took off the gloves she was wearing and offered her hand.
"I'm glad I talked to you. I really think so now."
"... yes"
I answered the handshake without hesitation. [M]
———!
In an instant, it turns into a different perspective with a shock like electricity running in the field of view.
It's incredibly tall, on high clouds.
I fly under clouds spreading like the sea and the sun and sky that illuminate them brightly.
The sea is spreading over the clouds! Yeah, yeah! Exactly!
A familiar voice echoes from behind my head when I am taken away by a view that is never visible to me when I live on the ground.
The voice of a woman with the same pure magic of gold as me.
The LORD of Perspectives plungeth his wings forcefully, with an unbearable peace in his voice.
This world is big, yet expensive! Looking up at the sky is a fact that will soon be understood, but I didn't notice it unexpectedly!
———
Fufu, that's right. Thanks to you, Liza. "
A gentle voice.
It just calms down my mind.
As she held her hand, she kept calling out.
But, the sky isn't just beautiful! There are so many beautiful things on earth!!
———
I'm not lying. Beautiful things are spreading in the sky, and at the same time, many beautiful things are spreading to the earth that we are looking down on. Now the other kids are raging and rough... but I believe that someday I'll be able to see something even better. "
———
The Lord of Vision denies her words.
Still, her bright voice remains unchanged.
Er, isn't that a lie?
———!
Well then, we've got a match!
!?
In a moment, a woman's face enters her sight.
Apparently, he jumped into the head of the Lord of Vision and forced himself into the field of vision.
As usual, the smile is not good, but I can still see that it is full of smiles.
If there is nothing in this earth that you think is beautiful, I lose! If you think it's even a little beautiful, I'll win! "
She laughs like the sun.
Wow, I'll definitely win!
So, the view goes back to the original view without interruption.
At the bottom of my heart is nostalgia and an incredible sense of loss.
I feel like crying over the sadness that I will never reach again, but let go of the hand that I was shaking with patience.
"Mr. Liza,"
"!... ahh, ahh, what is it?"
I managed to restore calm and speak up.
"Did you win the match?"
……!
For a moment, he opened his eyes, but smiled instantly.
"No, it was my defeat without skin."
The memories shown were probably the most important memories for Russell and Liza.
His expression, which answered the evidence, was very clear.
