The wife of the villains, returning to death to change her mind.

"... that's not true. Instructor Rigala... you must have been an instructor at the Academy for nearly ten years..."

It was my cousin, Sylvie, who muttered strangely.

Anna was sighing and falling asleep on her lap, and her expression was calm.

Sylvie, the Saintess, healed herself of her injuries, and now I can't see any scratches in the depths of the labyrinth.

It was a stony ability.

After confirming that Anna was safe, Sylvie was terribly relieved, and as a mother, she was able to tell that she loved her only daughter.

The impression was strong in the past, and I was quite distant, but I understood again this time that I was not a bad woman after all.

To her, I was explaining the end of this.

That said, everything is accurate, so I don't go to the Rock, but I'm blurring about Jill...

However, since we are talking about Riggera being a black demon, Sylvie seems to understand something.

This room is for the saintly lady, and because Sylvie paid the bill, only Sylvie and I are in this room now, and Anna is sleeping.

Since Anna is completely unconscious, this is a secret conversation between me and Sylvie.

Sylvie wanted it.

For my part, I said I wouldn't mind doing so much, but this happened because of her strong hopes.

I was wondering why, but I could understand it from Sylvie's words that came out next.

So, Elaine, after all, Anna doesn't have the power of Purge ?

I couldn't say it was an unexpected dialogue.

In the sense that the current saintly lady says,

However, it was not so strange to me.

Somehow, Sylvie thinks so.

It's because I've always felt that way.

I tell Sylvie.

"... yes, Anna didn't have that kind of power." It seems like it has special attribute magic power... but in the classification we created, it's called the [Absorption System]. This is a very unusual system, with only one child still identified as having the power to absorb health. Anna... can't say much without a closer look, but at least she can absorb the magic power. "

"That's right... that's right. I knew it...."

Sylvie nodded convincedly.

I ask with concern.

"Hey, Sylvie. Are you saying that you were... aware of this?" And yet, Anna.... "

"Why, the next Saintess?" It's not what I wanted. It's your mother's intention. No, everything has always been.... "

"Everything...?"

Sylvie muttered to me with a sarcastic expression, and when I tilted my neck, Sylvie said that she was ready.

"... Elaine. I'll tell you. You know... it's the power of [Purge], but I probably don't either."

It was a surprising dialogue.

"I've always wondered. I shouldn't have the power of [Cleansing], but somehow I was able to do it. Mother looked at it with satisfaction... and it was always terrifying. I must have let her feel the same way."

Sylvie murmured as she dug up old memories.

I didn't know where she was going, but I was just listening.

"Elaine, you and I were competing for the status of Saintess, weren't we?" Not now, but back then, you had a little bit of that power. Isn't that right? "

Suddenly, Sylvie heard that, so I nodded and answered.

"Yeah, that's right... I certainly had that power. the moment I felt that way....."

That's right.

That's why I was aiming for the Holy Maiden.

It was an honor to let it out of our clan.

Besides, my mother wanted it.

I couldn't be expected to be myself.

I now know that you were probably trying to relieve the trauma by making me a saint.

Together with the memories of the previous time, I know well from decades of life experience the parents who project themselves to their children and treat them as such.

So was my mother.

I'm not a bad person, but I was always trapped in something.

And I now know that this is the kind of memory that was once interrupted, stripped, and taken by my sisters in their desire to become saints.

But normally, that was the end of the story.

But that didn't happen because I certainly had that power.

Indeed, when I felt the budding of that power, the flame of greed lit up in my mother's eyes.

I'm sure I'll get rid of my old pain.

That's what I thought.

And I got on it.

Unconsciously, in order to fulfill my mother's wishes.

It binds my life... and in the end, it's the end of my life.

I now believe that the beginning was there.

It's just that this is all about my life, from my point of view.

Maybe there's something there that I or my mother didn't even think about.

There was something about Sylvie that made me think so.

And in fact, she heard me and nodded.

"I guess so... if it were true in the first place, I think the Saintess should have been you." I... I'm probably here to take it from you. "
