Isn't this light beautiful?
"Yes, very. It's like floating in the sky. It's a strange place."
Oh, but don't worry about it falling just because it looks like it.
Even in the darkness of my feet, I couldn't hide my confusion in a strange space like floating in the sky.
Still, I don't feel strange or scared for any reason. I feel like the countless stars sparkling in the dark are gently smiling at me.
I looked around and tried to reach for the light in front of me, which danced like a bird through my hand.
Master Nell, who was walking slightly ahead of him, smiled funny and looked back at us.
”Come on, don't just stand there, come here. There's still a long way to go."
In response to Nell-sama's words, I nodded and stepped forward.
Many stars near the door emitted small, pale light, but the size of the light gradually grew as the foot progressed.
"Is this the world of the night? Is that why the stars are so blinking?”
This space has no day or night. It's a place that's not affected by time. "
― ― A place unaffected by time? What the hell does that mean?
Haha, is it difficult? It's normal for me, though.... here's what I wanted to show you first. "
Master Nell laughed as he squeezed his shoulders and gently stroked the sphere of light that radiated a great radiance.
It was a ball of light about half the size of my body, floating in the center to be protected by a lot of light of palm size.
The light that Nelle-sama touched gradually changed from white to reddish light to respond to it.
Huh, is this big light willed?
Will? Haha, that's a strange question! There is no such thing. Hmm... but, yeah. This space and this light is special to me. It's the most cozy and relaxing place. "
I opened my eyes unexpectedly to Nell's first soft smile, which was always as open and gripping as a child.
--I 've never seen Master Nell with such a gentle face...
Perhaps it was a fact that Nell himself said that it was a special place.
What did you think of this place?
"That's right. It's so strange that you can't tell whether this is a dream or a reality. But it's a gentle, serene, and very beautiful place.”
Oh, I thought you would say that! Loved by the darkness, you felt similar to my senses. "
Master Nell gladly broke his eyes at my response.
If you like this place, you can come and go as you please! It's a special place where no other spirits can enter, but I'll forgive you!
"Um, thank you."
"Ahh, but don't touch or throw it too hard. If you put your hand in the light, it could destroy the world."
- Destroy the world? What are you talking about?
Perhaps you noticed that I had a strange look on my face, but Master Nell also tilted his neck in the same way. However, she immediately noticed something and muttered as she was convinced, "Oh, I see."
Speaking of which, didn't you explain it? This is where I was created and why I exist. And the source of my power. "
Is this where the Spirit King was born?
That's right. Even though you are the Spirit King, life is not infinite. Still, human life is a moment for me. The king of the spirits shall have a long and long life, and shall use his strength to keep the balance of time. And when you use all your strength, a new generation will emerge. "
“Is it saving my life to keep using my power? If so....."
”Oh, that you were brought back to life? I haven't used much of that power. The power of the Spirit King is far greater than you can imagine. There's nothing I can do to change the world a little bit."
I was thrilled by Master Nell's words, clenching my fist in front of my chest. Perhaps returning time to me and reviving me was a shrinking act.
However, Master Nell saw what I was thinking, and although he looked strange for a moment, he immediately shook his head to the left and right.
In response, I stroked my chest with relief.
Once I'm dead, there's nothing left for me to live like this except happiness. Still, if it is on someone's sacrifice, it is not very pleasing.
"I don't feel guilty about what I like to do on my own. You really are an unusual person. Human beings are funny because they don't go as I imagined."
"Are you interested in humans?"
Oh, that's right. Bring it to me to free up time. Isn't it funny how a piece of work moves as it should? In that regard, it's fun to see someone like you entertain me. "
Nelle-sama peered into my face with his hand on his chin. When I was staring into the clear purple eyes, I felt as if I was seeing everything through my eyes, and unexpectedly shrunk and retreated.
At that time, I was struck as if I had struck something in the tip of my hand, and I watched my feet. There, a heterogeneous light surrounding a relatively large blue light in the countless lights just now floated between me and Nel.
Haha, that's funny. Is it like a world that you don't want to protect?
"Huh? What does that mean? Um, what the hell is this light? It's a little different compared to other things... this is the only blue light, isn't it?"
Master Nell raised his mouth to me in bewilderment.
All this light is a thing of the past.
