Then, shortly after, I finished my childbirth on an extraordinary moon, but my fate was brutal... and the result was stillbirth.

Melvin said, "It would be caused by excessive stress during pregnancy. It's not your fault," he encouraged me, "but my immediate goal was just to have a healthy child and please Richt, and I was terribly depressed.

Honestly, I've been beaten to the point where I don't think I'll ever be able to get back on my feet again, but I can't even help you with Richt if I'm not able to get back on track here.

I thought so, and when I regained my mind strongly, I decided to focus first on rest.

That one day.

Two unexpected people came to visit me in my hospital room. It's Adley and Almel.

"Master Ceres, it's been a long time"

"It's been a while, both of you!

Almel, who finished greeting me, replaced the new flowers with the vase on the small table next to the bed.

"No way, I didn't expect you two to come visit me... I'm sorry I'm so messed up"

With that said, I turned to them as I quickly cleaned up books and magazines scattered over beds and tablets.

"This time, it was really hard... come on. It would have been hard. I'm sure of it."

"There may not be much we can do... if there's anything we can do to help, please tell us."

"Both of you...... thank you for your attention. I'm really sorry to hear about your belly child, but I'm fine."

Give it back, and let it behave like a temperament.

Is that...? With that said, what's going to happen to the two of you in the future?

Though I should still be working at the Mansion because I don't seem to have terminated my contract with Richt......

"As a matter of fact... the other day, Master Richt told me to break the contract"

The arrowhead, Almel, who was thinking about the future of the two, hesitated to cut the story out.

"Huh...?

"Um... but don't get me wrong. Please think about us and look for our next employer..."

"That's all, he said he didn't want to erase the memories he had with us... until he remembered."

The two spoke of what had happened the other day, looking sorry, but feeling deeply beneficial.

"Honestly, I miss Master Richt and Master Ceres so much. But there is no choice if it is the command of the Lord, Lord Richter. Besides... as long as we have this memory, the memories we have had with you will remain in our hearts."

"I'm sure Master Richter trusts us.... because that's what happens when you don't magically erase memories"

If you listen to me, apparently Richt explained to Adley and Almel, "Because hospitalization is going to be prolonged for sick care," and he canceled his contract with them.

You don't seem to have touched on anything about your life expectancy not being too long anymore, and I guess you took care not to grieve the two of you around there.

"Um, Dear Celes... Now you may have no choice but to say this... if I had realized the truth sooner, Master Celes and Master Richt would have had to be separated. I'm so... I'm so sorry"

I looked at Almel with my head bowed deeply and wolfed, and I shook my head to the side in a hurry.

"Oh no... speaking of the original, because I'm the cause... So, um... keep your head up, Almel."

"But..."

"Besides, I... I'm pretty positive right now. If I only looked at the situation, it could certainly be more or less bottomless. But... if you fell to where you fell, you'd just crawl up after that, wouldn't you? … so I want to believe in my potential… that's what I think"

"... Yes, I did. Me, you believe. I'm sure that one day Serres and Richter will have a laughable day... because I believe so."

Adley, listening to our conversation like that, opens his mouth as if he had anticipated a fit.

"─ Then it's time for us to spare you. Let's go, Almel."

"Yeah...... I know, brother.... Goodbye, Master Ceres. Thank you so much for your help so far."

"No. Welcome...... thank you so much for caring about me and Richt so far. Please, be well...!

Almel grinned in tears and walked out of the hospital room with Adley in a gratuity to me.

After an extra bend, the day has finally come for me and Richt to challenge Coldsleep.

After that, Richter was briefed again by Melvin and seemed to have a good grasp of what we twins had been chosen to do as subjects in our experiment ten years ago and how little life we had left.

"Well, I'm going to do a cold sleep procedure now... really, okay?

Melvin asked as she alternately looked at me and Richt's face as they entered the capsule.

"... Yes"

When I squeezed Richter's hand, lying next to me to suppress the feeling of anxiety, I let him snort.

Then Richt was trying to relieve my anxiety that shook himself in small pieces, holding my hand back with a strong force that I didn't think was very sick.

Richt is so debilitated that his voice can't even be satisfied anymore. Until now, he has said he has been using magic and magic drugs to increase his health to terribly use deceitful deceitful bodies, so I'm sure the debilitation progresses extra fast.

If a cold sleep procedure can be applied and the magic safely suppressed to a normal magic level, the health damage caused by the vast amount of magic in the body seems to go to nature and pleasure, but looking at the current situation, it becomes worrying "is it really okay"?

For once, they deserved an improved device and almost zero chance of dying from rejection by sharing magic after experiments, as they used to.

In other words, if we can wake up safely, we can live a peaceful and safe everyday life without fear of rejection after the experiment.

So if you don't manage to work hard......

-It's okay. If we're perfect for each other, we'll survive.

When I held my mind strongly, I told Melvin, staring at me with a worried look, "Well, please," and took a big breath to prepare my mind.

"Despite my many years of research, I was only able to produce incomplete results. So I can't guarantee your safety. I've had this day in this way, and I'm so sorry I'm full of it. But... I feel like you guys can overcome this difficulty. Of course, it's unfounded..."

When Melvin said that, she laughed lonely.

"No... there's no need for the Doctor to feel responsible. Ning Lo, I feel nothing but benevolence towards the Doctor. Not only did you support Richter as a friend, but you did research over the years to save his life. … thank you so much"

"Ceres kun...... no, thanks for this one. It was really nice meeting you guys.... Be sure to come back alive. Good luck with that."

When Melvin said so and wept, he closed the capsule lid the way he had decided to.

"... Hey, Richt"

……

Does Richt have a painful look all over his body, and his face answered the call by holding back a connected hand without moving it?

"Though you mourned being born as me and my sister and brother in this world... I am glad to be you and your sister and brother again"

……

"'Cause, right? If it was someone else, we might not have been able to patrol each other like this... even if we could, we don't know how many years or decades it would take to meet. But... as a sister and brother from the beginning... if I'd been raw as a twin, from the moment I was born... yeah, I could be by your side, which I love from the moment I'm in your mother's tummy, right? I've never been happier."

……

"It's me... in my last life, I thought this when I died." If I can be reborn, I want to see my hopes again. And now I want to live with you so that you don't regret it '. So... I'm sure God made my wish come true "

I see Melvin looking down at us over the glass and sending gestures with his hands.

Perhaps a cold sleep procedure will be applied in a few minutes.

"Born as sisters and brothers, we are not bound in this world... but instead we are bound by a bond of 'blood' that will never be broken. If we were other people, if we dissolved the marriage, that would be the end of it, but we wouldn't be able to cut the bond between 'sisters and brothers', would we? So I'm happy to be your sister again."

"... eh"

From Richter's mouth, a whimper leaks without a voice.

"I hate to think this is the last time, but I'll tell you as many times as you want not to regret it....... I like Richt. Love it. I love you so much I want to see you again no matter how many times you're born."

If I die like this, I whisper love again and again with the wish that I can see you again the next time I'm born again...

Then he tried to force Richt to squeeze out a voice that didn't answer, opening his mouth with a bitter look on his face.

"Me... too... Sele... 's, be my brother... be born... be able... be good... love... be... ru..."

"Richt......"

Richt, who lamented that he had been born so much as my brother, told me that it was good to be born to my brother.

I was happy with that fact, and at the same time I felt brave - thanks to him, my fear of Coldsleep, which I couldn't get rid of until the end of the line, faded.

"... let's sleep together, Richt. It's okay. Never, never let you die. Always try to protect it. Because... I'm your sister."

Did Richt feel relieved when he heard the words, he smiled softly and slowly closed his eyes.

Melvin looks down at us over the glass again, hands up and signals to the other fellows.

At the next moment, a creased white smoke stood in the capsule and his vision turned white.

While my consciousness is distant, I can put a lot of effort into my connected hands.

─ ─ I love it, Richt. Let's do our best to survive.
