N-
Mea exhales and opens her eyes.
There was Philia peeking into his face.
"Philia?"
Saar, Meir, it's happening.
I see. Lunch will be there.Eat and listen to me first. "
As he said, there were three kinds of bread in the basket next to the bed she was sleeping in.
Looking at it, she said to Zar, who was sitting in a chair and wearing arms, with a slightly suspicious face.
"Ugh, it's all bread...."
"What, you don't like it?
"No, think more about balance.With salad. "
"The salad would be caught in the bread."
Zar pointed to a sandwich that did sandwich vegetables.
After comparing it with Zar, he exhaled.
"... Zar, you'll never be a maid."
"I'm not going to be any better.Let's get down to business. "
As Meir tripped on the bread, Zar closed his eyes and began talking.
"First of all, why are you here?It transported you down and healed you in this village's inn.Fortunately, there were no deep wounds, so my magic healed me well. "
"... you could use that kind of magic."
"Oh, I can use it if I want to use the ice and wind just because the flame is the fullest.What the hell happened to you?
Swallow the sandwich once to keep up with his words.
And then he looked into his eyes.
He's a brave man.
"... Sofia?
"No, it's none of her business.... Besides, she's not a brave man. "
"What do you mean?
"The lie 'Sofia is the Brave' was imprinted on her by Betenburg to hide the existence of a true brave man from the laws of the wise.There's another real one. "
There's another real one.
Having heard that, Zar opened his eyes and turned to Mary.
"If you have a brave man, why don't you join us?And why did you show up?
"The reason I'm not on my side is because he's a raven.But before he died, he divided power among the people in the form of a spell and recreated his existence for the price paid.Why did he show up so far.... "
That's where she shuts her mouth.
Are you sure you want me to say that?
The confusion stopped her from speaking.
"... what's wrong?
"The words I'm about to say... will probably shock you.Still want to hear it?
Ah.
Immediate answer.
After a brief tour of his words, Mary answered.
"This world was destroyed once.But with a clock tower with the power to bring the world back to the past, we rebuilt a world that was doomed. "
"... the spell was originally..."
"Ah, thanks to the power of the raven to travel from time to time.Besides, it's not a problem in itself.The real problem is that it was paid for. "
"The price is' existence '.The wise man here has rebuilt the past for the sake of Lazarus personality. "
When Zar heard the words, he lay face down for a moment.
And I kept my mouth open.
"Now, Lazarus is here....."
"Oh, he's a wise man.But... it's just a little different from the one I was talking about. "
After snapping and closing his eyes, he said, loosening his mouth as he raised the sky.
"... the first time I saw him, I saw his eyes.He had dark, cold, prisoner-like eyes.I was honestly at ease when I found out that he was a wise man.Even if I say wise man, I can handle it. "
……
Zar listens to the words and shuts up.
His life as a wise man.It was very painful.
I didn't have any allies, I just kept fighting alone.To the end.
It would have been enough to do so.
"But I heard.Now he is fighting the raven by his own will.Not alone, with a lot of people.When I heard that, I felt a little relieved that it was troublesome. "
"Relieved,"
"Honestly, I don't hate Sofia or Lazarus or Betenburg, of course.I didn't want to fight.But... I couldn't leave Betenburg alone, who raised me. "
You're so sweet.
Philia, who had been silent until now, opened her mouth.
After hearing the words, I turned my head and looked at you.The ear was dyed red.
"I'm with you, too.I don't like fighting either. "
"... Philia"
"I hate swords. I hate bows.I don't want to see anyone die. "
"That's why we have to stop it, Mea.Because he loves you, I have to tell him he's wrong. "
Open your eyes to Philia's words.
In the end, words that little girls don't say.
When I heard that, I felt like it had stopped for a while.
A little later, Zar opened his mouth.
"People like my father have gone mad.I was scared at the time and couldn't do anything.That's why I can tell you, if you can't stop it now, you'll regret it forever. "
……
"Ask again. Come with me, Mea."
"... no, I have to say it stronger."
"Why?
"It's okay."
After being pushed by Philia's sword curtain and reflecting a little, he let go.
"Come with me, Mea.It's time we got the world back together. "
"... Zar, Philia.I wonder if I can do it. "
"If I can't, I'm not going to give up.If they continue to deny this world, I will deny it. "
I see. Then I... "
A girl was running.
A girl who couldn't speak and became lonely all the time.
She was being chased by a mysterious existence in a mask.
While I was about to fall again and again, I ran out of breath and shook my shoulders and kept running.
However, a girl's stamina struck the sky with an impact on the pebble and rolled into the ground.
Uh-oh
There was a man's voice near her.
A young man, who would be the owner of the voice, rushes to her and shakes his shoulders on his knees.
"Hey, are you okay?I fell quite flashy, but can you stand alone?
"What were you doing alone at night?Besides, in such a dim forest..... "
As he said with a calm voice, the area was surrounded by a darkly dyed forest.
Even insects don't ring, and only the quiet moonlight continues to illuminate this space.
At that time, the face of a gentle voice suddenly became steep.
"... Graham. Did you notice that?
"Yes, apparently, you were right to come around.Stand by, Leonard. "
A young man named Leonard holds a bow, and a young man named Graham stands sheltering the girl and looks at the direction she has been running.
After a while of silence dominated the field, two masked men appeared after her earlier from the shadow of the tree.
"... who is it?Take off the mask. "
Leonard lowers his voice and asks.
But they walked toward us loosely, as if they had not heard the voice.
I warned you.
The moment Leonard said that, the sound of the bow echoed all over the area.
After opening her eyes for the first time, the girl saw an arrow piercing one mask.
But they were still on their way.
Only breathing into the situation, Leonard shouts to Graham behind him.
"......! Graham, let's go!There's that girl over here, I can't help it!
"Do you think I'll forgive you?
At that time, there was a low crouching voice that was neither Graham, nor Leonard, let alone the girl's.
The footsteps are approaching us.
For a moment, their feet stopped under the pressure of their voices.
The footsteps are approaching.
Something terrible is coming.
That hunch alone stopped their feet.
And as the footsteps stopped, the moonlight illuminated them, and the body of their voice appeared in front of them, and Leonard, who saw it, uttered his name.
"Beten, Burg...."
"Oh, are you the archer from that time?It's been a long time. "
"Oh, I knew him."
This time, the voice of a cool woman.
That was heard from their back (...).
"But I'm sorry. I don't care about that fact anymore.Because you're going to die. "
"I feel sorry for you.I don't even know your name. "
Now there is a calm young voice coming from their right hand.
When I saw him, a man with a spear about the height of his back, almost the same age as them, stared at me.
And then there's another voice.
The voice was the only one they both knew.
I've always heard his voice.
"... but in a way, you might be lucky.They'll kill us with our hands. "
Leonard looked at the owner of the voice without saying anything with his mouth open.
Graham, on the other hand, leans and swallows his teeth.
And I told him to mumble.
"... is that what you're saying?That's what I'm saying. "
"Graham...?
"Oh, I see.You were originally a traitor.That's right..... "
"Lazarus!
The silver-haired young man smiled happily at the name.
