Reincarnation Monarch
Episode 576: Four Secrets
"Truth is, the secret isn't just Comet's body..."
Asio spoke mainly to Chester.
For that reason, Shester thought that Asio would have used himself as a conversationalist to explain the situation, and decided to get a hand in it.
"... well. There's not just one secret, is there?
Then Azio smiled slightly and realized that Shester had taken on a conversational role.
"Yeah, it is. Actually, you had a number of secrets. Well, I want to explain them sequentially…"
I'd love to hear it.
"Right? So let me explain… First of all, who the hell has the secret… Do you understand?
Shaken by Asio, Shester said looking back at previous conversations.
"... First of all, Comet, do you have a secret? This is what you said. The next thing you know, you and Tran must have secrets, too. Because you yourself declared earlier that you would reveal who you are. By who I am, I mean I've kept it a secret. So there's three of them..."
Then Azio shook his neck to the side with a grin.
"It's a shame - a shame indeed"
"You mean no?
"Yeah, no. There are no three of us."
"... then... you mean Baltic has secrets, too?
Comet reacted vividly to Shester's words.
But the balt was not slight.
Azio closely observed such a balt, while connecting words.
"Correct. As a matter of fact, each of us has its own circumstances to hide a secret from."
"... well. All four of them..."
"Yes, but this is usually also normal. Well, if we're normal adults, we all have one or two secrets we can't tell others. But of course this isn't like that."
"So you're going to explain them in turn?
"Yes. Exactly. I just don't know if I can explain it well, either, because I didn't mean to expose ourselves or expose our secrets in the first place. But, well, I wish I could explain it as clearly as I can."
"Hmm. Fine. Then please."
"Yes. First... right. I would like to explain why Comet is being targeted for his life. I was worried about Comette looking at you earlier."
"You said earlier that a group of popes was after Comet's life, is that true?
"Yes. True. A group of papals came to know the secrets of Comet's body and turned to the assassins"
"...... that means that already happened before...... right?
Asio nodded loudly at Shester's sharp return.
"Discover. I've already repelled the assassins twice, in a place I don't know where Comet keeps them."
When Asio said so, he raised his mouth angle and smiled.
