Seirei no Moribito

Flowers bloom by the red of blood (7)

"You're done... I've been able to put an end to all the fences"

Gathari, and.

Broken gear turns across the horizon and one girl appears.

colorless space, the "Spirit” who lives there turns his gaze to Lynn,

"Of course, that's not really the end of it, but you can say you're ready for a casual rampage."

Lynn responds to the “Spirit” who raises her index finger and tells her in a pleasant way somewhere.

"... nowhere, you can't save me"

"If you say that, you're done, right? Even if it's so insane that it can't be saved, it doesn't make any difference that salvation is revenge for you."

"... well, so is that"

sigh into a slightly daunting position,

"... could not acknowledge death,"

I felt Lynn caught a glimpse of his weakness in that word Harnoyn told him.

Lynn just moaned when she was told her parents were dead.

There was an assumption that there was absolutely no such thing as two people coming back to life, but Harnoyn couldn't even accept that fact.

It's not that I don't understand that.

If Lynn couldn't admit her parents' deaths, it's not hard to imagine her following the same fate as Harnoyne.

The same can be said of Emilia when she has sacrificed herself.

If Lynn hadn't been admitted to Emilia's death, Lynn would have wanted her to come back even if she had only resurrection as a "protector”.

Yes, even at any price.

"... I'm not as strong as Harnoyn thinks I am"

"... right? Sure, you can't say you're strong, can you? Because really strong people don't run cheaply for revenge or anything."

"Don't hesitate, you."

"Because it's true."

"The Spirit," he tells Lynn's words, with a sharp eye.

"So I'm hopeless," he said?

"From the side, yes. I don't deny boulders that much."

"But I don't think this is salvation, either?

"... for you, revenge is salvation enough"

Two, lay down your eyes. “Spirit” groans sadly.

"You said no… you still had the only means of revenge. If it hadn't even left you... you'd be more crazy than you are now... sane and crazy."

"... that possibility is undeniable."

Because there was salvation in desperate phosphorus, he sighed bitterly at being here,

"... So, what the hell are you doing to me?

The chatter takes this position and mentions why the “Spirit” called Lynn.

The Spirit pointed his lips, but he realized he didn't have time to put his expression back on.

"It's about you and me, of course."

Kuru, and.

The phase remains the same, turning her body with blood and dirty feet and "she” smiles.

Every step you walk, drain red and black blood on colorless waters,

"You and I have chosen the path of vengeance. False to all, and even to themselves, but only to fill a void that will never be filled..."

"... what's wrong with that"

"The urge to be conscious but unable to contain... anger, vanity, sadness, and hatred... oh what a stupid and pathetic man. This is the story you deserve to call the most tragic."

- That's why let's go through a solitary tragedy to the end.

Yes, she laughs fun at Lynn.

Like a goddess inviting you to ruin.

Lynn gazed at the two hands she offered,

"... what, now"

I affirm it by slightly raising the corner of my mouth and smiling invincibly.

“The Spirit" deepened his grin in relief,

"Good. Because I was afraid they might bond with me."

"Me?

"Yeah. 'Cause, right? They also chose the same avenging path… and the cut you made this path decisive was Al's word…"

I glance at Lynn with anxiety somewhere upside down.

Lynn thinks that if this was all you could see, you'd only look human.

"... I haven't forgotten the contract."

"... then I don't mind"

"Besides, I've never thought about living for real."

I stare at the gear and squeal.

Gathari, and. The gear turns again,

"... that's unexpected. You had a choice, didn't you, to live with Emilia?

"... you don't understand, you are"

To the completely misguided answer, Lynn narrowed her eyes,

"I'm Commissioner Wind Discipline. Even if you hate the" Spirit Tree, "you can't change that fact. … that there is no escape from Iselia's hands forever."

"... one day, when the end comes?

"Iselia seems to like me a lot. Until Iselia gets tired of me, I will continue to be Iselia's tool. It's not ruin."

Danced over Iselia's palms, her heart, her emotions, her memories, everything is hers.

I'm so angry at that fact.

"... I have never denied being an instrument of Iseria."

Similar to a kind of giving up, self-derision.

to the phosphorus-like emotions contained therein. “The Spirit" opened his eyes,

"... how could you,"

"How can you be so easily admitted?

Lynn answers what she thinks in return for the Spirit.

"I still thank Iselia for this. All I had was despair, saving me... and empowering me. Without it, as you said, I could have been sane and crazy"

"... so you want to say compromise?

"No way. All I'm admitting is that and... what Harnoin said, you can't get away with it."

"Once you're on the side of the Spirit Tree, you'll never get away with it again... you're the bearer of a horrible faith, Lord Protector."

Because it was so itself, I know the threat of the "Protector”.

In addition to the seemingly infinite "protectors," fanatics who don't even hate death can be a pain in the ass to fight with force moves from the front.

That's why.

"If you want to kill them all, you won't have a chance unless you're like them. Besides, by the time I chose revenge, I was already out of Iselia's hands. … then there is only one means to be taken"

"… Chengcheng,. I'm convinced. Sure, that sounds like the only way."

Phew, the “Spirit” exhaled and nodded,

"... I've been out of line for a long time, just tell me one last time"

Seriously, the Spirit asks Lynn.

to a slightly unexpected appearance. Lynn tilted her neck,

- Why didn't you choose the salvation of "death”?

I bumped into an extremely natural and obvious question.

Lynn silenced herself for a while.

"... I still don't know that. In such desperate circumstances, it was no surprise that I thought of dying to escape from reality... but I never thought of that."

During the battle, Charlina and Harnoyne, who were blood connected sisters and brothers, did everything they could to kill each other.

And that question stuck in my chest as to why I didn't think about dying.

No matter how much I think about it, I still don't get that answer.

But if the answer is probably the right one, I can derive it.

"... maybe I... didn't see any point in dying. Dead, nothing will change... then I will live and mock them for the heavenly punishment of the Spirit Tree."

While escaping reality and losing sight of herself, Lynn denied the idea that the end of death was salvation.

I guess that's the answer.

“Spirit” also nodded deeply at the answer Lynn gave while troubled,

"... dead, it doesn't change anything... right. Because you're a weak person. Strong people will overcome difficulties or bear them, but weak people can only reject them and deny them… If you are strong, you may have chosen the salvation of death"

But I'm really glad I didn't.

So to the “Spirit," who shrugged with a heartfelt grin, Lynn glanced lightly over her shoulder,

"... I almost forgot the point."

"... about the contract you and I made, huh?

Straight ahead, gazing into each other's contrasting eyes and saying:

The two of us reconfirmed what we needed to do after that.

"... as long as I keep going down the avenging path to the last moment, you will lend me strength"

"Yes, and if you stop revenge… I will take your body and your spirit"

Lynn, for revenge.

“Spirit” is for you, the evil, to live longer.

Deep psychological space to enter into contracts that you think are best for each other and hide them.

Lynn lays her right hand, and the "Spirit" stretches out her left hand,

"... I won't forget. I'm standing here right now, cutting even Emilia off. Besides, I don't think I'm gonna throw my revenge away."

"All the while, you lose sight of something really important when you're off guard, right?

"... I don't even think I have it left."

to Lynn whining with a masochistic grin, but the "Spirit” never ceases to grin calmly,

"Bye. If anything happens, call me. I'll always be with you."

"Oh. Bye - Trane"

Trane waves off to his name, which is a testament to his covenant with the “Spirit” - its call to tears in ancient language.

Trane, who, because he existed in Lynn from the beginning, would lose himself and his power to the extreme if he went outside, retained himself and his strength by continuing to exist in Lynn, who even used such “spirits” to seek strength.

It's a contract that should never be found out, which is why she came into contact with Lynn on that occasion where magic and the “Spirit” were overflowing, and she secretly entered into a contract.

- It's all about revenge.

Beautiful flowers can bloom because there is always blood red involved.
