I punched the girl with a leg injury and reached the designated shelter.
In the meantime, there was not a single conversation.
We were already exhausted from each other.
I put her down in the cafeteria in the castle, which serves as a refuge, and I head to the battlefield again.
There may still be someone left.
That's when I heard the girl from behind.
"... why did you kill that guy?
"... why"
"He was crying, wasn't he? Maybe if we discussed it, we could make up!?
……
"I can't forgive or be forgiven anymore."
She joined the war.
Besides, the sins she committed will never disappear.
Then all I can do is let her out of her misery in the form of 'death'.
"Is your brother really human?
……
"It's a monster."
That's what I said, close the door.
If it's man who can forgive sin, then I'm a monster who can't do it.
But... I'm ready to live as a monster.
Maybe I'm saying the same thing as the Wise Men's Act, which is trying to create an equal world with death.
But that's why I have to correct that wrong idea.
That is the Sage's last mission.
Finish the hero who ended the war again.
That's what I did once. No more hesitation.
When I walk in my breath, I'm suddenly stopped by the voice behind me.
"Hey, you look terrible."
"... Mariarette?"
"I have really good eyes for your eyes right now. It intrigues me."
"You know Marialette can't afford to spend time talking to Yota, right? I'm sorry, but I'm leaving now."
"Well, wait. I'll tell you an interesting story."
"Interesting story?
I turn to her and encourage her to continue the conversation with my eyes.
Seeing it, she slurred her mouth delightfully.
"Fine. Let's just try to be concise."
"Please."
To my words, she laughed a little and opened her mouth.
"King Mactoria offered to help Isel rebuild after the war"
"... what?
"In other words, in them this war is predicted to end with this. Don't you think this is too hopeful an observation, no matter how stupid the King of Mactoria is?
It's like, I don't know what that means.
She's right, even if the King of Mactoria is the fool who pushed through, this offer really doesn't make sense.
Or is that what you're trying to confuse?
Are you telling me that the war on the Sage's Law was all set up by him?
... No. I've felt this discomfort before.
Maybe the information is blocked, like Mariarette?
It's as if the war four years ago wasn't.
"Well, what are you going to do now?
"... I'm on Sofia's side. Anyway, it's not something I can do alone."
"Really? According to His Majesty, you have regained your tremendous power now?
"... oh. But..."
They were stronger than I thought.
With my help, we finally crossed over to each other.
Even at Alice's, I don't know what would have happened if she hadn't regretted it.
... No, not in detail.
Stronger, but right.
At least, it's much stronger than before leading up to Graham.
The speed and force are not the same digits as before.
The same applies to the predecessor king of Forse.
"Well, I'm sorry to hold you back. So, what do you do?
"It is decided. If anyone is still alive, look for them. If you have enemies, kill them. That's all."
"... an exemplary answer, but a little boring."
That's all she says, she walks into the back of the castle as if she'd lost interest.
I glanced behind her like that and headed straight outside the castle.
The view outside the castle has already calmed the firehand and the snow has piled over the groove.
At your feet, the bodies of citizens and soldiers.
Except for the severely damaged ones, I make sure every single one of them breathes.
If there is, you can do something with my healing magic.
But everyone around him is already breathless, and his fingers are chilled by the cold of a snowy corpse.
... Maybe I was a little too optimistic that he might still be alive.
"... Lasalles"
Suddenly he hears my name and looks up at you in surprise.
There was the figure of Sophia standing on the groom.
"... Oh, Sophia"
"I got word from people on the front line. Forse says he's retreated. But he doesn't know when he's coming."
"Oh well. And Mactoria..."
"I've already heard it. It was post-war reconstruction support, wasn't it?
When I nod, she eats her teeth off and holds her fist.
"I'm not kidding after the war......!
"... Sophia"
"The war is still going on! Even Mactoria, why are you swallowing when you may be ours tomorrow!?
……
"... sorry. It hit Lasalles."
"No, that's fine."
I sit back and face her.
... I'm not as good as Sophia either, but I was honest with Mactoria's response.
I appreciate your acceptance, but one thing about the carriage and this incident.
It is more impossible to insist that there is no back.
Besides, I don't want to think about it, but even about acceptance, maybe it's a trap.
It's possible to take hostages and even erase us.
The only thing they won't do with it right now is me and Sophia, and Zahr, who would recognize it as being viable, can turn it off, and I guess they think it's inappropriate to be stigmatized after the war.
Of course, if it's a trap.
"What about Sophia? Coming..."
"... heading to Mactoria. We must also tell the Knights about Zahr's death in action."
"... and then..."
"Hey, let me rest"
She sits down on the mountain of goodness and lays her head down in a triangular seat.
... Now that I think about it, I've made her do too much.
What are we going to do about evacuating residents?
Even she said it was confusing.
... that was then.
I see something brown flying from afar.
No, I've seen it. Four years ago, only once.
"Sophia!"
I hold her and stay away from the landing point.
Then, with a tremendous roar from behind that moment, the squeaky wind pressure hit my body.
Ice pickling the feet on the ground to avoid being blown away, out of the smoke, what a giant...... the golem showed up.
"... Charlotte"
"It's been a while. Mr. Lazareth, Mr. Sophia."
I melt the ice grabbing my feet and make an ice blade at the tip of my own arm.
But she didn't move for a while, she was just asking this one.
"What are you going to do? If you don't move, we'll go here."
"... I'm not going to argue"
"Then why did you fly all the way here? Why don't you just walk for me?
"That's because we don't have time. Sylvia, please."
At that time, the words out of her mouth were shocking.
- Kill me.
"... Huh?
They seemed very close.
That's why I didn't know what this offer meant.
"You want me to believe you?
"... please. Please, think it's the last time."
We were stuck in her atmosphere and we just had to keep our mouths shut.
