Episode One Thousand Four Hundred and Eighty-Nine: Illis Leaving

"... then I guess I'll go home"

Iris said abruptly.

As Gaius and the others gave a bewildered look, Iris turned around softly.

"I'm going home."

Gaius panicked at Iris, who repeatedly said:

"Yes, no, you know... where are you going to go home?

To Gaius's inquiry, Illis pointed his right index finger at the sky.

"It's been decided. Up."

"Above?... Oh, heaven..."

Gaius was convinced.

"That's right. I'll go, then."

"Oh, oh..."

Gaius looked at Carla with a troubled face because there was no excuse to hold him back in particular.

But Carla couldn't think of anything in particular either, so there was no word.

Then Iris looked up at the sky.

"Bye."

Iris says, I wondered if he had risen fuzzily, and flew away with a squeaky momentum.

The Gaius left behind often lost their words.

And Gaius finally opened his mouth.

"... you're gone, right? ……

"Oh, what it was after all..."

"Uh-huh, he left like a storm..."

"There's no reason to hold back... there's no way"

"That's right. Because she was just asleep."

"Uhm. Just saying that former Archbishop Fran dug that up. That's where it happened, so it's only natural to go back to heaven."

"Sort of. But I should have heard more."

"Well, for example, what?

Asked by Carla, Gaius conceived.

"... I can't think of anything in particular..."

"Neither do I. He said he didn't know anything about the enemy."

"You did. But is that true?

"Yeah?"

"No, I was wondering if you actually knew about the enemy."

"What makes you think that?

"Uh-huh, not especially for this reason... somehow?

"Right. But I agree with you on that."

"Huh? Really?

"Oh. I don't have a particularly clear reason, either, but like you, I thought Illis might know"

"Oh well... ah!

I said it like Gaius remembered something.

"What's up?

I made a face that Gaius had gone over Carla's question.

"Oh, I wish I'd asked you about Lucifer."

"From what I've heard, it's not a decent answer. Then you don't have to ask."

That's what Carla said and leaked her bitter smile.
