The hero magician wants to relax. He was too active and targeted for his life, so we'll start over.

"It's kind of like your age, it's Limne."

"I never thought I'd see you like this again, Elle."

Grayla Ell had a high-five with Limne.

Battleship Balmunk, inside the ship, in its storage compartment. It was a reunion of the Devil Machine pilots who came to this world.

"You're no different than before." I was younger than you. "

“From now on, let's get along as colleagues serving the same Lord.”

Nice to meet you. Well, it's nice to have someone to talk to.

Grayla El looked around the hangar.

"After a glance, it looks like you don't have a demonic opportunity." Didn't you take Hydor from the Empire in the Elves? "

"Didn't you hear?"

What are you talking about?

I can't ride the Devil Machine anymore.

Limne smiled. Limne opened her eyes for a moment, but her face turned sceptical.

Are you at your limit?

"That's right. I was forced to do more than I could, so my mouth was remodeled..."

A magical doll from the lab - Grayla Elle knows it's Limne Bethion.

Grayla Hull, the twin sister who sacrificed her life to gain the ability to become a goddess sorcerer, told me so.

--you hated being from the lab.

If they were remodeled to their own wishes, they deserve it. But people from the lab knew they were being forced by the adults around them. In contrast, Hal was disgusted.

How much longer can you live?

About that, it's going to be quite a long life.

Limne laughed nickily.

"Oh," thought Grayla El. Limne has a strong impression of smiling from the beginning, but in the past, I used to be scared of crafting something.

But I don't feel another emotion in Limne's smile. Elle is often blinded by her natural smile.

"Instead of losing the power to handle the Devil Machine, I was given time to live." Thanks to Jin-sama. "

"... I see."

Grayla El turned her gaze from Limne to the weaponry that was in place.

"But is that okay?" Aren't being a goddess or a shrine maiden the purpose of your life? "

“I used to think it was the only thing worth living for. But that's something that the adults around me decided on their own. That's what I decided, that's what I pushed."

Limne stretched her gaze farther away.

"Thanks to Jin-sama, I realized that I was molded. You can decide for yourself, not be pushed by someone."

That said, Limne smiled bitterly.

Still, as always, I'm still a pilot in the military.

"Isn't it nice?" We can only do what we can. "

Grayla Ell muttered softly.

"I wonder if that's who I am."



I'd like to speak to you personally - yes, General Shade offered me.

In short, it was one-on-one. I accepted and decided to invite you to dinner.

When he acted like a dish made with ingredients from Willidis, Shade seemed to be eating more than she could imagine.

"It was a very delicious meal. From the ingredients, it seems to be of high quality. And this seasoning is unique."

"I'm glad it's in your mouth.... by the way, these ingredients were created from the same magic as in the magical civilization era."

Oh, the ingredients come from magic power.

The shade seemed impressed.

"Do you eat like this all the time?"

“Yes, the diet is also about morale.”

Talks with chatty people like that. We talked about wine addiction and the world situation with a sense of public discourse.

Shade asked.

“What do you think is going to happen to this war?”

“If Kurfu Diggle doesn't intervene, the Stigme Empire will perish and the Great Empire will be defeated by the Allies. The territory will be divided and ruled by the victorious powers."

I said it frankly.

"Everything comes out of that immortal emperor." I'll get involved with that. "

What if Emperor Diggle reappears?

"At that time, we will have to make great sacrifices on this continent." After all, this man wants the end of the world. "

I haven't forgotten. That's what Kurf Diggle declared to me. Because the world is boring, I will reset the world.

"The Emperor really did such a thing...?"

"Yes. It's just a way to move people around, such as reunifying the continent." He doesn't have a high ideal, he just wants to distract himself from his boredom. ”

I feel pleasure in gaining strength and wielding it. If you like, that's fine. His idea is that it is.

"Do you think that's why you're destroying the world?"

"People find it fascinating to do something they shouldn't do, and find a kind of pleasure in breaking that prohibition."

"... So we're going to fight and die to satisfy the desires of Emperor Diggle?"

The shade has a painful expression on its face. That's true. We have seen many lives lost fighting for our lives.

Heartbroken by the death of a friend, heartbroken by the resentment of those who died in battle and put their hands on them. I don't want to admit that the suffering is just to distract one person from boredom.

"We can fight with faith in his stated ambitions, no, in his ideals.... but the truth is cruel, but you can keep fighting with your eyes open."

But once you know it, it may be too late to look away.

"I may be Diggle's hidden child."

The shade looked up to heaven.

“I don't have any high ideals either. I have fought for my country and, more recently, for my daughter, whom I wanted to protect. If I could even protect it, nothing else would be a big deal... that's what I thought. I see, I may be his son."

A shade that makes a mockery of itself.

"I have someone I want to protect. But if Diggle wants to destroy the world, I will not be able to have peace with her. To do that, I'm willing to bet my life on you. Lady Gin Amiwool."

"... Okay. If you can help me, I can help you too. McTilla Shade."

Both hands held out. A handshake that was exchanged.
