Sanzen no Souru Supina

■ Seventh night: intimate meeting of the princesses

It wasn't so much later that the boat going to the moonlight sea, Gun, increased its speed.

Shortly before that, there was a clear sign that the ship was in a hurry.

GAREAS —— The Epolar does not exactly apply to this type of ship, called Galeazza, in the national language.

It is the hull that was the test bed for the heavily armed ships officially adopted by the Musette Alliance of Commercial Cities National Alliance a few years after this: the Deedyard Navy as the core of its combat capability that is in the prototype.

And how it was secretly given to the Knights of Catel Hospital.

Ten meters wide and forty-five meters long - with a dedicated multi-stage circular turret in front of the ship, the original Galeas boasts nearly seven times the height of the old gallery ship, even just from the water line. It was just a castle fort.

In addition, it was the latest clandestine weapon developed on the assumption that it could cover up to two hundred and seventy degrees and operate as a moving turret on the ocean.

After the naval battle at the time was only shaped by a few cannons loaded on the bow, it was common sense not to storm by the impulse angle of the bow, and the appearance of a large Galea-style ship with more than thirty cannons when combined in size and including a small firearm (hand cannon) in later years, with a crew of five hundred, would change the likelihood of a naval battle, but that is another later story.

On the face of it, it was the Knights of Catel Hospitals and Deedyards, which can be the opposite, and sometimes hostile, but it was the way the National Alliance of Commercial Cities, including Deedyards, supported the Knights of Catel Hospitals financially and politically by using a different route behind them, while leaving them as a nation to be cut off.

If you can do it as an emotional problem, you don't need diplomacy.

The fact that diplomatic efforts are being exchanged means nothing more than that the National Alliance of Commercial Cities was aware that emotions and other things should take precedence.

The National Alliance for Commercial Cities at least at this time commanded the liver to recognize that the childish action of disconnecting them because they don't like them, etc. and that it is only a policy that can be taken by truly powerful countries that are free militarily, nationally and in the real economy, including food self-sufficiency, that can behave arbitrarily in the light of their own emotions.

In other words, secretly, we flushed a powerful ship, albeit a test bed, to the Knights of Catel Hospital, which means a restraint on the Alam forces that continue to expand.

For the group of countries that make commerce their livelihood, it was more important than the territory to ensure free trade for each location.

We must ask the Knights of Rikken-Katel Hospital, slammed into the throats of the heathens, to continue confronting the Arab forces only by their own will.

Guiding it that way is what counts.

That was the decision of the Deedyard government.

There is also no description in later history books as to whether the Knights of the Catel Hospital at the time were aware of the matter.

Would the archbishop, the chief, have noticed?

Or maybe I knew everything.

But it's only plain that the knights and soldiers at the end didn't even think about it.

I don't know how the Knights of Catel Hospital, a group of samurai of this sailboat and galley ship, which was sometimes called under two names of little disgrace: the concubine (Bastarda), and its old type in the good or bad sense of receiving the test bed, initially received this ship considerably larger than the large galley, even if it was smart compared to the later roll-out type, with three columns capable of putting up a square sail in addition to the binary (the roll-out type is three stages).

Just a Merchant's Country: Deedyard was only thorough on that point.

A circular turret for testing had already been implemented, but the six long-distance guns that were supposed to be loaded there (the roll-out type was ten) were handed over without installation.

The face of the Knights of Catel Hospital quickly turned this ship into their own preference.

I understood that I couldn't use it as it was, so I was paid down.

The circular turrets provided on the front deck were crushed except those on the upper deck.

Instead, the front was armored.

Thoroughly omitted artillery seats and turrets deemed unnecessary, with emphasis on enhanced defense and acceleration performance.

As a result of the change in the outfit, the swiveling and manoeuvring performance were inferior to those of the galley, but once acceleration was obtained, a ship with excellent straightness showed great speed was created.

The fact that it was a test bed was also annoying.

The hull was also unique.

Compared to the younger sisters, who are later officially hired, all abundant and plentiful, the smaller and smarter sister, along with height and breadth, had a sharp angular cross section, which was a fortunate example of how wind and wave resistance were smaller for this class of ships, and more fell better refurbished by the site.

That is, the completion of the world's rarest heavy-duty high-speed assault ship.

The settlement was made with a blade, and Galeas was reborn into a heavily loaded cavalry of the sea whose belief was supposed to be a dull floating turret.

Ashle quickly got dressed, caught her jacket and left the cabin.

On the rear bridge, several officers had already come up.

Among them, Captain: Hector and Norman were there.

"For what?

"The shadow. Large galleys. Two ships. Coming from this direction of travel. There's still a long way to go."

"What's the ship book?"

"It's dark and I don't know, but I don't think it's a merchant ship. It's already Esperalgo's maritime zone. Patrol -- if that's the case, I might be forced to inspect it."

Peeping into the binoculars, Hector answered.

"An ad hoc inspection? This is an Ixist ship, isn't it?

Some people say, "I earn small sums of money when I get confused. And this one's loaded with very delicate loads right now."

Hector's eyes looked at Ashley.

"I understand."

"Don't worry about it. I won't let the pirates flutter one finger."

"Pirate?"

"I told you during the day, didn't I? Emperor: All the new and noble men who have received my boat licence from Mercenario. I'll teach you how to shave your mustache."

Said Norman with a lot of tea.

I guess it's the type of joke that makes me want to tell when I touch the signs of war.

I was a samurai.

"Is this noticed?

"Well, what do you think? In the meantime, I've ordered the rowers to increase their speed."

"Lend it to me."

At some point, Izma was by my side. I took the binoculars from the captain.

"Uh, something's rushing over there, too, on board. Ooh, I'm running, I'm running. It's rising, it's rising. The monkey."

Isma, a dirt spider, had a good night's eye.

"Come on, damn it. Bounce in, first time."

"It's a quick thing. If you don't cut 300, you're not gonna hit it properly."

"Dragon Spear: Would you like to bring the" Shivnir ""

Ashley asked small.

The Balaje family striving for the Holy Knight of the Holy Relics Management Division from generation to generation: its son-in-law Ashle has a powerful heritage of the past inherited from its ancestors and a "spindle" ability to handle it.

Dragon Spear: "Shivnir" is one of them, with a shape resembling a short-bodied horse spear.

But the spear, by its very nature, was an extremely powerful projectile weapon.

Able to emit an incomparable strip of light that burned everything down, it was several times as long as the sharpest long-range gun in its effective range.

Norman nods with his eyes at Ashley's suggestion.

Captain Hector has not swallowed up meaning. I can't help it.

It should have been an unintelligible conversation for him, who is not an incapacitated owner = "spindle" capable, and for those who have not seen the power of "Shivnir".

There was a brief interview on boarding, and it was another story to see if I could feel the effect because it was explained by Ashley and also by Norman.

"Next, get out to the front deck. It's not going to be like using it, but just be prepared."

When Ashley returned to her room, she brought out a strictly sealed "Shivnir".

Norman was already waiting for me on the front deck, the so-called circular turret.

Scaffolding for Ashley is built on the turret trail where the cannon was removed.

"Now you fix your body."

Norman provided me with a fixed belt.

It was also tied to Norman and secured to the turret fence.

Don't exaggerate, Ashley didn't think.

Because the Epolar launched combat manoeuvres shortly afterwards.

I leaned so heavily to the right that I wondered if the ship would sink like this.

If it hadn't been secured with a belt, it would have been blown away.

Ashley had to aim at the shadow from the turret ridge (carpet).

Dress like Norman can hold you.

"Can you shoot cannons like this, during combat manoeuvres? The turret is pointing at the sky."

"So I unloaded a lot of guns. Probably a design error. If not, either our operation is wrong or it is. No, it could be the latter."

"Eh, the enemy ship, look, I can't see"

"Relax, I'll lead.... More than that, Ashley, are you familiar with handling Spindles outside the Closed Corridor?

"? What do you mean? My father strictly admonished me not to use it as much as possible outside of the Closed Corridor, other than how important it is. I call people into suspicion they don't need. Not once or twice have I been literally whipped. I've seen it as a matter of discipline and norms as human beings."

"Your father's warning is correct, but it lacks specificity. Let me add a little bit."

Ashle's father: I guess out of respect for Gresnau, Norman fixed the salute.

"What do you mean!

A lot of wind sounded at the tremendous acceleration. The sail is turning back with the wind pregnant in a cup.

Ashley told me to yell. Norman returns it.

"The Spindle is outside the Closed Corridor —— difficult to stabilize in a normal world. Regardless of small activations or moves, when they become massive, they become unstable and expensive and expensive. Worst of all, cause and effect are reversed and can cause misery."

"! I learned in coaching that there would be increased wear and tear, but I didn't know that was it. It's just, like my father told me, scolded me, and I felt“ different ”from the teachers."

"As for causal reversal, the accumulation (chiseling) may be different in the Knights of the Holy Knights, where most of their tasks are dedicated to fighting within the Closed Corridor, and in the Knights of the Cattel Hospital, where they fight against humans, albeit pagans.

The Holy Knights may be because they didn't actually fall into the sort of situation they try.

In the meantime, the Holy Knight is seldom dispatched to the normal battlefield.

Because the overload, the shivering outward enchantment of the Warcraft, the dispatch to the Closed Corridor or otherwise the defense of the Pope's Office is everything.

I've even served in the Crusades, historically, only a few times.

It just seems to me that one of those exceptional, the Crusader hero and the famous knight: Gresnau could not have been unaware of the danger. Given the severity of the teachings wielded against you, your son, no, you quite knew that.

Familiar, he came down on the ground.

Your father didn't want Ashley to "spindle" his life and be the kind of person who could cut through with alien powers that it woke him up to.

I didn't want you to find thresholds (ikikiki) cleverly and learn how to live with them.

I tend to misconstrue that the more I use and rely on my powers, the easier life does become.

It is the power of a miracle that is never within the reach of the ordinary man. And it's easy to make people say things.

But then there's something you'll never get.

No, and vice versa.

On the contrary, even that ends my life without knowing it.

They said, "Know."

It was given a norm as a commandment, more than just the knowledge of a clever head.

Don't just be a man waiting to be given, he said.

Don't use it, that's why I was admonished.

Why shouldn't I use it, until I can find it myself "

"What does that mean"

"Don't solve your life easily with the paranormal" Chichi, "it means.

It also means don't rely on everything in the earlier teachings.

I don't want you to, but think with your own head.

And go over it, it means.

Was my lecture evidence full of time or unwanted blame?

That history will decide...... of course, although this is just my sentiment, no sentiment.

Heh heh, you were both useless lengths in time of war.

For one thing, the Spindle only works properly inside the Closed Corridor.

Just keep this in mind now. "

Well, come on. Self-explanations may have passed, Norman laughed.

He was ashamed of his rap as a member of the Knights of Religion who wanted to execute and achieve it and hated falsehoods.

But Norman was ashamed, but Ashley felt the word was right.

I think what my father tried to say would be exactly what Norman said.

I wonder if the words of my dead father were preached to Ashley, my son, with the mouth of the predecessor who now lives.

It could have been an interpretation too convenient for the living.

But if you can feed yourself, that's fine now.

You should accept it as a difficult fruit.

“Watching” as a knight who lived on the battlefield was growing inside Ashley.

I have to face the spindle more carefully than ever before.

And while it is, we have to determine when it should be used.

In order to make decisions without hesitation, we must broaden our visibility and sharpen our judgment.

You have to get lost.

I really need a decision, for that moment.

When Ashley told herself so, she targeted one of the shadows, which Norman had indicated.

"Absolutely."

To get out to the rear bridge, the ship leaned heavily as it ascended the stairs through the front of the VIP cabin.

Epolar is not a merchant or passenger ship.

It's a pure battleship built with combat as its primary purpose.

Even with high-quality cabins and hospital ships, its essence remains the same.

Epolar, which diseased the moon sea by tilting the hull so much that it might sink like this, undoubtedly inherited the blood of a high-speed gallery.

Illis' luxurious body blew away.

Oh, it was late when I thought.

I can slap my body on a ship of hard cedar wood.

Good and bruised, bad, fractured, worst death. That was supposed to happen.

Iris at least desperately protected his head.

I don't think of myself.

Because he remained wearing the Spectacles lent by the captain.

The shock wasn't as good as I thought.

Something got me in between.

Rose scent.

It wasn't a fragrance-like pressing, just a bright but natural rose fragrance blooming in the field was taking the iris.

I guess it's accelerating, the hull's inclination is just as stable, and if you're careful, you can stand up.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Thanks."

Iris thanks the person who helped him.

Give me your hand and touch the other person's face.

Wet with warm hands.

It was Scion. When I got in between, I guess I hit him in the head.

On a face as beautiful as a biscuit doll, there was blood dripping.

For a moment, a bright red blossomed in a world where armored lamps swayed and illuminated.

"Ha, a lot!

"Hey. Important... not important"

"That's not your decision!

In particular, there was blood flowing, and Iris decided he needed help.

Since the feather-woven outfit was nursing clothing, I hope the line is a little convincing.

"Somewhere... I need to take care of it"

"What the... come back"

Look, and Theon handed the keys to Illis.

"of the cabin there,"

And he said unto him, Open, and Iris obeyed.

It moves and the key doesn't quite get into the hole, squeaking.

Heh heh, and Theon laughs at me.

"Oh, for the injured, don't laugh!

"I'm sorry about that."

Scion, instructed to sit in bed, did so quietly.

"Lights, lights haha"

"Stop it, we're in combat. It's gonna be a fire."

The VIP (Kihin) room was also damaged by the earlier slope.

The furniture was not so serious because it is all made, but the water drain is rolling.

Only the moonlight leaking out of the thick curtain gap relied on it.

Iris managed to get to Theon and took a breath, trying to make sure of the wound.

I didn't.

It is not near the wound.

Even the blood that should have flowed earlier, everywhere.

"It doesn't matter, I told you"

Daughter of the Grand Duke of the Night Devil, Blood of True Ancestors, Scionzafil Iote Berioni.

Unconsciously, Iris was activating the Spectacles.

Spindles are essential for their use.

Phosphorescence is carried by two lenses, and information about Scion is listed one after the other.

The princess of the Night Demon appeared in the fragment of the dream she wrote down herself, and the information recorded and collected by the owners of the previous history of the Spectacles - that is, in a kind of pseudo-dimensional realm - is cross-referenced and illuminated.

A virtual museum and index of vast collectibles housed in the "Garden", an information space and dimensional realm, that can be carried anytime, anywhere - that was the function of Spectacles.

Yes, Spectacles was Focus again.

"That's right... I'm going to need a Spindle."

It was Iris who was frightened as a sinner who had been blamed.

The strength resided in Zion's finger, which held his hand.

"This is..."

But it was an extremely sober word directed at frightened Illis.

"Good. There are few cases, but there are.

For some reason, the Closed Corridor may give buds (better) to those who survived while involved in it, very rarely, but as "spindle" capable people.

It's a famous story among the long-lived clans. "

I've never actually seen the case before, either.

"It may be the extraction of heaven that we have met here.

I don't think Ashley even knows what that "spindle" capability is yet?

Don't worry. The situation is unusual, but it's not unusual.

And —— just fine.

I wanted to talk to you, too. I just wanted to talk to you. "

Overlaying his palm in the hand of a strong Illis, Theon smiles.

Soft heat was transmitted to relieve tension.

"Still, it's an incredible beauty, you know."

I guess it's also because Theon himself has not found value in his paranormal beauty that I don't like at all, even though I say things that seem to float my teeth.

Beauty for Zion was a radiant raw glow, and perhaps he would have found it more so for those who were destined.

"Besides... the more jealous, the better the style"

In my case, you don't have to be so modest.

Saying, Theon let his gaze come and go between Iris and his own chest.

"Well, this is what I like about a man of destiny."

I was impressed, Theon said.

"... you weren't looking for me to talk about that, were you?

On his knees, staring straight into Zion's eyes, Iris said.

It was an attitude of rejection of Theon's steps.

"That's a rush."

"Our lives, unlike yours, are short, so"

You're absolutely right, Theon admits the fact.

"The speed of change of the fatalist surprises me in both good and bad ways. - Well, it was a few hours ago."

Iris did not know that the identity of the light that dwelt in Zion's eyes was compassionate, not a question asked.

Like a prisoner on a death row, Iris was frightened.

To be acquitted.

"My memory —— is it back?"

No way, and Scion snapped.

Cacilli, and Scion do not miss that a hard look dwelt on Iris' face.

"You're not good at lying, you're with Ashley."

Is that why Ashley saw it?

"Clumsy, but I have eyes on humans"

Sion completely forgot that he included himself in it.

In the meantime it was panic and movement that struck Iris' heart.

own consciousness of sin.

Many of the outrages I did against Ashley came to life.

"And I don't know. Memory, I don't know, I don't know. I don't want to know!

While denying it, he couldn't run away by thrusting Zion, and he nodded to Ilis, who shook his head and cried, yeah. To forgive everything.

Iris laid his forehead on Zion's knee.

Scion's fingers scratched his hair as he noticed.

Love my child.

"I didn't want to know. I didn't want to know!

"That's fine."

Illis strengthens himself.

Then I looked up, not knowing what they said.

"The Closed Corridor imposes a harsh fate on those involved in it without exception. Destiny is too cruel to take it alone."

I don't want to know, I don't want to admit it, I don't want to take it. That's natural.

"I'm ashamed to say that I'm over four hundred years old, but it's only in the meantime that I realize that."

Is that an out-of-the-box? Theon makes a laugh.

Illis didn't laugh, but the tears broke.

"I finally understood with my own hands that there was nothing I could do in this world that I could not hold alone."

Talking to someone just makes it lighter.

It's hard to realize on your own that when you're relative to yourself that you're stuck, even if it seems obvious in the human world, it's hard to realize that the pain is because you're unable to do it.

Shine your eyes like a philosopher who has found a new truth, Theon said.

"Well, as an exception, anyone who wants to talk to him or rarely cede responsibility... doesn't it feel bad for you or at least the parties to the case to share it?

Theon's fingers wiped Illis' eyes.

Iris blushes for some reason.

"Oh dear...... really, adorable"

Glossy Scion's lips moved like that.

His chest rang like it shouldn't, and Illis wolfed.

He could not wave, could not stand up well for the gradient, and would have mistaken the behaviour of the Oro and the IRIS looking for an escape left or right for fear.

I said like Zion lit up a little.

"Uh, if it's about the dining room, I apologize. I didn't mean it.... I just don't know how to behave... I've become a snail to ignore"

Relax. Pepper, and Zion bowed their heads, and Illis became increasingly confused.

Thoughts were disturbed by the gap between her, recorded in dreams (Mi) and Spectacles, as every evening, and the timeless presence of a seemingly unworldly little girl in front of her.

"Oh, no, we can talk about this later. Yeah, I'll talk to you later, okay?"

That's more important than that. Theon said.

"You remembered?

To Scion, who looks straight at himself and speaks, Iris felt no more fear.

There is such a rare power in Zion that makes even enemies trust.

Once you decide to believe it, you throw yourself away and roll straight into the other person's nostalgia - although it was a quality with that kind of danger.

Because it was such a Scion, Illis, told him everything.

I didn't feel compelled.

Words overflow naturally, like fountains gushing from within themselves.

About the dreams I dream of every night.

About the characters in it.

In it, you have the perspective of two women.

Then, about the cruelty of the Ideal, which was resistant to fusion and ashle.

I didn't wrap it all up.

Without distracting himself from Zion for a moment, and without clouding his words, Iris spoke.

More importantly, about the untrue love affair for Ashley that has arisen in its chest.

And Theon took it straight from the front.

I listened to the story of Illis in silence.

Then I finally wept.

What I had endured all along poured out as if I had cut a weir (sequoia).

"Have you ever been forced to watch it, as someone else?"

I couldn't stop crying and Theon asked.

There was a voice that could not be hidden from Illis.

Why am I being touched?

I didn't know why, and Ilis looked into Zion's beautiful eyes like he fell in love.

It would have been hard.

I was embraced instead of words.

To the Night Devil's Daughter, a prisoner of perpetual memories, I knew how unusual the beatings of Illis were.

I felt like myself.

Even though he was the only one who could find a reason for, convince, and forgive his own actions, Iris had no memory - he had not been given the right to do so, but had engraved his experience as a “record” over and over again.

I dreamed of cursing the man I loved, frightened by the suspicious devil who was who I was among the characters in that dream.

Very, not unbearable.

Blurry, and tears fell from the eyes of Illis as well.

I couldn't stop it.

I raised my voice and cried.

Theon took on that whimper in silence.

The two princesses lay themselves in bed.

Zion has to, Illis turns himself over.

At some point the ship had regained its horizon, but it did not seem to have lifted its alertness from the noise outside, the speed appearance.

At some point the moon is shaded (by) clouds, and only a few star lights illuminate the sea.

Most importantly, Scion's bedroom is always blocked by thick curtains and can't be seen outside.

Only a slight air flow can be felt through the small windows provided for ventilation.

Between Zion and Illis was an ancient rolled shellfish fossil that emitted phosphorescent light.

"This builds up the light of the moon, which has been pouring down for a long time, and it's spitting out now."

Theon said so, and stroked it, which was placed between him and Illis.

"Thanks. And then... sorry. A lot, it bothered me."

"Keep your thanks and apologies a little further.

From now on, when I get back to the memory of what I really am, I can only truly save what I am because there is no one else left behind.

Whether or not I can help him at that time, it is not easy. "

But just remember this, Theon stabbed the nail.

"Iris, from that point of view alone, you may not forgive yourself.

But it is also my fault that if I correct the original, Grand became such a bakery.

And if we're going to get to the root more, then yeah, we're responsible for the apparatus that easily accomplishes Nerd, and the legacy of the past that led to it —— the circuit, or whatever —— establishing it. There must be. "

So don't blame yourself too much, Theon said.

Yeah, and Iris just nodded and showed them.

"More importantly, that's how you're getting self-inflicted. You think Ashley won't get hurt when you see that? A man like that chunk of kindness."

I heard Illis breathing.

In Zion, the heart of Ilis, who guided Ashle more than himself, found it possible.

"So, is it?

"It's kind of like everything's been spotted. You can't beat Mr. Theon."

"Scion is fine. And I don't know anything about it. I also want to ask you a lot of things..."

For some reason I blushed and Theon said.

And anyway, to say something with a broken tooth, Illis thinks this human is cute.

"Yes, now, somehow, you've seen me with your eyes like you see a small animal."

And sharp.

Stunned with a jitty eye, Iris hastily changed the subject.

"With that said, Ashley —— I don't know how, she endured it. Until earlier, when I became aware. Honestly, it was supposed to be pretty hard."

"You're talking about the curse of eternal love."

"Stop. Curse of eternal love, don't glorify. Because it's such a despicable, despicable, shitty trap that you want to die out of your exclusive desire."

"Hmm, maybe... Honestly, as for the same woman, I don't feel like denying it without a headache. Instead...... I get it"

Ilis lost his word on Theon's remarks.

Hold your mouth and watch Scion.

It was Zion first who could no longer stand the silence.

"Oh, my God, I'm a woman, so I'm gonna fall in love."

"Unexpectedly... Theon, sa--I can't believe you said that out of Theon's mouth"

Surprisingly, it's an old-fashioned way of talking, and Ilis laughed. Theon swelled his cheeks.

"I'm really bad at talking to my stomach."

"You're good at facing hard and sad things, but you're not good at that."

Shivering and laughing at Iris, Theon cut it out as if he had immediately remembered.

I was just talking about it.

"The curse of eternal love?

"The reason why Ashley could endure —— that's the real reason I wanted to talk to you today."

Let's hear it. I woke up half-hearted and Iris took a serious look.

I have almost no idea what it's about. That was the attitude.

Theon also responded. I took many deep breaths and then I still looked straight into my eyes and said:

"It wasn't one of them who received Ashle's poured Nerd. There was another woman who stood up to save Ashley from the ravages of Nerd."

Who would that be, Iris asked?

Me, Theon replied.

"Since then, as I've been horny in my dreams, I can't forget that day again, and I can't stand it anymore. At first I just thought it was because of my blood, because of the love I received from Ashle. But when I heard about it, I knew it wasn't all."

"It's because of my Nerd."

That's all I have to admit.

Maybe the three of us are falling for the same curse.

"Perhaps the" twist "transmitted through Ashley's body contained a huge amount of that factor.

I could not bear it, and I sought Ashley.

Suffering from stray, Ashley responded.

But you should have known that it wasn't pure love for me. This is a set trap, so to speak. "

A set trap.

Iris' eyes swayed with agitation. But I didn't try to escape this time.

the hand of Zion. It grips as if it were determined.

"But in the meantime, I clearly told him of my love for Ashley.

I declared it was not because of the curse of eternal love, but because of the work of my own heart.

Then I shall tell him so, too.

This is about fairness. "

Kokuri, and Iris nodded. Zion's lips tremble independently of his will.

The same was true of Iris' lips.

There was a wave of bruises.

The wind that blows in shakes the lace curtains down from the bed's ceiling.

"Confess. I loved you —— Ashley. Knowing that you did."

I won't apologize, Theon said.

I don't get angry, Iris said.

Instead, I took a long breath.

It was a trick that seemed bewildered by the movement of my mind.

"I... wonder if it's strange... I'm glad... that Theon told me he likes Ashley. You know, this is, like, crazy, right?

No, I shook Scion for the first time.

"I wonder why... I don't care if Ashley thinks she was, but she doesn't feel like she's working the untruths. Instead, if so, I think I love Ashley so much"

Maybe because of the curse of eternal love, something in my head went completely crazy.

Both of you, I can't stand to see what the root healing looks like anymore.

The two laughed as if they had given up.

The ship continues through the sea of darkness reflecting the starry sky.

It is not until five days after this that things change dramatically.
