After the five of them returned to the Great Demon Temple, there was nothing in particular, and the day was about to end peacefully.
Late at night.
In just under three hours of sleep, True woke up. My body was supposed to be tired, but I couldn't sleep.
(Looks like I was waiting for you. At this time... all the time... Yikes...... I'm almost there......)
A dark, joyous voice, echoing in my true head, awoke. It's burning vividly in my head.
(Midori would have given me a mental guard, but you mean you could break through that?)
I wanted to make sure, but Midori would be asleep now, so I will stop calling out to Midori.
I know who the Lord of Voices is. I also know that lilies were prepared for this time. But I don't think deeply. From the present truth, the Lord of this voice is not so deeply aware.
(I'll just admit the strength of my resentment, but-)
Regardless of the strength, I felt that my vector was completely different from the vengeance of the voice of the Lord.
I've been thinking a lot since I woke up. So far. And from now on.
(It's still too early to think that we've finally reached this point...)
The extra sentiment can be immersed in the fact that the showdown for revenge has been transformed into a game by the opponent. But I don't care.
The lilies are truly dumbfounded as to why they took such a form. There is a family of lilies out there, one by one. Among them are those who have no true hostility.
Truth feels that the act makes sense.
(There is something about him that I think he is. Somehow I can see that. Lily is about to give out all that is left. Not only you, but also those in your camp will bump into them all. "That's his last fight..." It's not just a game.)
I knew the truth. Lily settled her obsession in a battle with Junko. From Lily's point of view, Junko and True don't matter anymore. But I still dare to face the truth in order to deal with what comes out of the scattered seeds.
I get up to go to the bathroom and open the barrier.
Toilet?
Mika, who just came back from the bathroom, pairs it with a true pot.
I can't sleep.
"Neither do I."
Since it is midnight, Mika is whispering at the boulder.
When Mika finished the toilet and went back, Mika waited for her in the true room.
Can I talk to you for a second?
Yeah.
Mika's words are truly nodding. Leave the barrier open and enter the room.
"Is it my concern not to close it?"
“I learned the Delicacy book. Or was it counterproductive?"
"It's a complicated, unpleasant mood."
Mika spills a smile.
"But you should be careful. I don't know where the fire is. That's what it means to come to a man's room."
"I'm distracted by the affair, but I can still tell. You're not in the mood to do that right now, are you?"
"When life is in danger, the instinct to maintain offspring is easily connected to work, so I would rather look for this kind of time than usual."
"Do you feel your life is in danger?"
No.
Shaking a hat over Mika's question, I think this story is true to this extent. As Mika pointed out, it is not a mood that leads to a relationship. I'm not motivated to do that at all right now.
"I don't feel it right now."
"Although it's inside the temple, you should think of it as an enemy territory." At least I'm still nervous. "
Mika felt strange when she saw the truth. Looks relaxed all the time. I don't think he's coming for revenge.
"I'm always nervous, but I'm not ready to die. I definitely want to survive. Besides, I'm always nervous. You just need to be moderately careful and turn it on as soon as you sense the danger."
That was what Truth learned on the battlefield. If you keep frightened of enemy raids, your nerves will be destroyed. Nervousness and fear of death cannot be completely eliminated, but they can be controlled.
Lily seems to be planning something bad.
Mika changes the subject.
"Are you talking about making me a child, or something like that?"
It is true to suspect that Lily used Miko to spread the information.
"It's not like I'm seriously trying to kill the truth." You're playing at a time when you're deliberately dispersing your fighting power. "
Mika says abominably.
"I'm not just playing. If it's play, it's serious play. Maybe I'm thinking about Shirokintaro and Akiko too. Are you going to let me fight you, play you, train you, or connect you to the future? Or maybe it's the last battle, so I'm trying to do everything I have--"
“That's not what I meant. I thought that the fact that I didn't mean to kill him would prove that I was trying to keep the truth alive and turn it into a dangerous necromancy experiment."
Mika blocked the true words and said with a frightened look on her face.
"I don't know..."
I can truly see that Mika is serious about the truth. However, true consciousness is strongly oriented to a place other than the place where Mika fears.
"It was as if you could read all the thoughts of Lily." What was that? "
“There are times when the feelings and thoughts of the opponent you are fighting will be communicated directly.”
"There are times when we are fighting face to face." But what do you know even though you haven't met her face-to-face? "
In response to Mika's question, Makoto thought of an answer in silence for nearly ten seconds.
“After several interactions, I got to know.”
He said what he thought honestly.
"The lily itself has already changed. The lilies that were evil in my heart are gone. It seemed like the Avenger had vanished on his own. I've seen cases like this of vengeance failure several times in the past. I can't believe this is happening to me. [M] That's why I say revenge is stupid."
"If I'm no longer a bad person, will my vengeance fade?"
"It would depend on people." As far as I'm concerned, I wish I was a more ruthless bad guy. However, regardless of the decline in revenge and resentment, I am willing to make a convincing choice. "
Quietly, but forcefully assertively true.
Mika pushed silently, not uttering true words, and for a while the silence flowed.
"Is that all right?" Are you sure you can win? "
"It's okay."
Mika broke the silence and confirmed it in a whisper. Even if it was true, she said it in a powerful voice.
"I know what Lily is up to... I know what she's after." I can guess. If you were trapped in anger or vengeance, you might not have seen it, but if you think calmly, you'll see. ”
I believe that there is a chance to win because I know it because I see it through.
(And if Lily is aware that I'm seeing everything, it depends on where he's coming from. Even his words and deeds.)
Truth sees that you may not have noticed.
"I'm a little relieved."
Mika smiled small.
How relieved were you during this conversation?
True to ask with a heartless or ironic tone.
"The truth was too calm, and on the contrary, I was afraid. It would be better if the melamine was burning for revenge... no, that would make me anxious, but the quiet and calm truth of revenge was very creepy and scary."
Mika says it hard to say.
I see.
I was truly convinced that there was such a view from around me. In Mika, the image of the template of the avenger was a stereotype, and when I saw myself far from it, it probably led to fear.
“I haven't lost my cool. Trapped in paranoia, you can't see your surroundings, and you don't run wild. So on the contrary, I want you to feel safe."
"That's right... I want to think about it. No, I should think so."
Mika is convinced when she tells the truth.
"I interrupted you. I'm going to sleep, and I'm sleepy.”
Mika gets up.
It's too early to say, but thank you for hanging out with me.
Mika says thank you for leaving the room.
“I don't know how useful it is, but I still owe it to you.”
Mika's face, which turned around and smiled, was clearly reflected in her true eyes as it was illuminated by the lighting in the temple garden.
Even at three thirty at midnight, Miko couldn't sleep.
Until this morning, my ear guard was in the same room. I also had breakfast together. And now she's gone. There was only one Miko.
It was a short time, but Miko was no longer alone. It was a very pleasant day.
"My ear guard... I told you to get along..." Why, why are you missing from my side? Why? "
Miko sobbed over and over again, her cheeks wet with tears, staring blankly at the darkness and asking out loud.
He disappeared because he chased him away. I know that. But I didn't want to be alone. I didn't want to be separated from the Ear Guard. When I realized it, I was in trouble, attacking and killing my ear guard. Nor did Miko herself know why.
"In the end, I'll be alone." I can't help it... no matter how much I do it... "
I am mad. I'm trying to lose everything. In fact, it's always against my will and my feelings. I'll do that.
(That's right. It's their fault... This happened because they came. It's all their fault. I will never forgive you. I'll make them pay for it.)
All the calamities that have befallen you are the fault of someone other than yourself - some have these thoughts. But Miko wasn't the only one. It was the nature of blaming certain people and having to reward them with one's own hands.
