Reincarnation Monarch

"Sound?... from the coffin?

Gaius asked a lot.

Glenn nodded at her lack of confidence.

"... Yes. That being said, it was very slight... if there was any noise at all, I couldn't hear it..."

"Is that really coming from the coffin? So... I thought you heard the surrounding noise echoing the coffin or something?

Then Glenn had an even less confident look.

"... Yep. I thought so at first, but I paid attention to all the surrounding sounds... probably from inside the coffin..."

"Seriously... if that's true, that would be tough..."

"... is that a big deal after all?

"That's right. 'Cause Iris is a god, right?

"Yes, it is."

"If Illis is supposed to wake up sleeping in that god's coffin, it's a big deal, isn't it?

Then Glenn turned to a ghoulish look.

"... Will Illis wake up?

Then Gaius rushed to correct it.

"Oh, no, not for sure... but if there's a noise coming from inside the coffin, isn't it natural to think so?

"Is that true? Iris really wakes up..."

"No, that's why I still don't know. Besides, we haven't decided yet if there's really a sound coming from inside the coffin."

Then Glenn finally regained his composure.

"... that's right. You still don't know, do you?

"Oh, that's why I have to find out"

"How do you find out?

"I don't know how... well, I'll just put my ear on the coffin and ask..."

"Oh, but I was wondering if I could even hear you echoing that..."

"Right. Uh-huh, well, let's just go. So, let's just think about it there."

Then Glenn agreed.

"Right. Whatever you're talking about here, then, will you be there soon?

"Oh yeah... yeah, let's give Carla a voice for once. You can count on me when you have to."

"Yes, then I will call you, so go ahead."

Glenn says so. No, he left the room quickly.

Gaius made a big stretch once, followed by a big deep breath.

"Hmm... this is an unexpected development. What is the sound from the coffin of Illis? There's no way you're Ibiki...... is that a sign of waking up after all? If so... you might want to evacuate them all just in case..."

Gaius was often silent and rethinking, assuming what might happen from now on.
