Reincarnation Monarch

"... why 'he'? ……

It was the only thing that one silent Illis had finally said.

Astalot observed such a crushing look at Iris.

The face of Illis was blue, and sweat was gleaming on his forehead.

But Astalot never laughed at Iris like that.

And Astalot opened his mouth to the question of Illis.

"Well, I wonder why."

"'He' should be indifferent to us. That's why..."

"Yes. 'He' was indifferent to us. So I was surprised, too."

Iris thought carefully and said after.

"Was it really 'him'?

Astalot nodded slowly.

"Definitely. It was' he 'who called me"

It was Astalot's clear answer, but Iris did not change his face that he could not believe it.

"I can't believe it. Why do you care about us now? Why you in the first place?

"Come on, I don't know."

"There's no way I don't know. What do you have in mind?"

It was a question that could also be taken as the desperation of Illis, but Astalot was not oblivious.

"I don't. I have no idea. It's the same now."

"There's got to be something, right? Did he call you and you hid from everyone? What happened there? There's no way I'm calling you anything."

"There was nothing. I've been unconscious in the first place."

"... what do you mean?

"That's why I'm saying. I need to know. All I know is that 'he' called me to disappear. And that I met 'him' face-to-face at the example location. That's all."

"You met him face to face, didn't you? in the example location. So you had some kind of communication there, right?

He was a desperate enquirer about Ilis, but Astalot's answer was still elusive.

"No. They just stood in front of him. No conversation."

"What's that?!?"

Astalot smiled masochistically at the squealing Illis.

"Right. As much as I'd like to ask myself what it really is. But that's really all. It's just that 'he' appeared in front of me. That's how I realized it was all over."

Iris had a stunned look on his face and all he could do was whine.

"... what the hell is that... then you have no idea what it means..."
