Scott beat me up and kept walking down the alley.

Along the way, Manica caught up and panicked to see if she thought I'd been caught, but Ferres spoke for me instead of me who couldn't speak.

Well, to sum up, I just told him that 'he's not the enemy'.

"Well, Mr. Scott, are you from Forse?

"Yeah, if you follow my origins, I'm Peswen. But now it's floating because of the reason. Is Manica a friend of Lazareth's?

"Ha!"

"Oh well. You're a good boy, Lazareth."

I can't speak well, so I have to snort and answer.

But we have to talk.

Who the hell is' that one '?

What the hell is a demon?

I can't stay or not think so, I force myself to open my mouth.

At that time, my muscles around my lips are attacked with tearing pain, but I can't care less about that.

"And..."

"What? You shouldn't have to."

"'That one', who...?

Breathe into my words.

And after I pampered my mouth as if I'd been lost for a while, I finally let go of my words.

"This is not a lie. That's why I think it's a really hard truth"

"... Huh?

"Calm down, listen to me. About that one."

"His name is Cyan-Mercius. A woman who tried to kill me, to kill you, to erase demon information from this world."

... What, to?

Speaking of Cyan, that's my mother's name.

And you tried to kill me?

I don't believe it.

I don't want to believe it.

I'm powerless and I can't protect everyone...

But it's not.

The truth is, I was overwhelmed by his words.

If you're just an opposition, there's no way you can kill Scott, who's so good at swords.

If you're just an opposition party, it's not weird that you attacked a nobleman after that, even if you've arranged a nomination.

"... I'm sure you can say, Cyan. You're ready, too."

"Huh?"

"Yeah. Nothing. But this was something I admitted half the time."

"... Huh?

"I hate you... Cyan hated your life forever. You betrayed yourself, you tried to kill yourself, you're the 'devil' as a metaphor."

... I don't like that, I don't want to hear that.

But I can't get away with it.

Because my body doesn't move?

No. Even if I don't, I'm sure I won't get away with it.

"Heh... why...?

"... before we do, let's talk about her. She was hiding a spell."

... a spell?

Speaking of which, there was a book of spells in her house.

If you think so, that fact is not strange.

"'I can erase information,' a very horrible spell."

"... hey, hey?

"Yeah. It's a spell that can also be cast against an individual named you. She was using it to remove information from you."

"That Cyan is your sister."

... What do you mean?

I don't think I had a sister.

No, Zahr used to talk about my sister.

"She was about to be killed in an orphanage by you... a wise man. In doing so, Zahr, I still remember that you stood up and sheltered me."

……

"But that Zahr, you put a seal on you, too, and you're dying. Though Mr. Mentila helped, Cyan had totally resented you for that. I was hating you."

"... oh"

"But, Zahr, I'm sure there's something wrong with Cyan and you about why you put the seal on it."

... I've heard of it before.

Sage, I'm told that Zahr flew to another world to escape the world Dahlia ruled and sealed his magic to hide his identity.

I'm sure he also believed that this allowed him to erase the existence of a 'wise man'.

But I'm alive.

I'm alive, I'm dead.

"... then there was a baby between us called 'Lazareth'. I lost my life in an abortion, my sweet little girl."

"... Huh?

"The power to transfer life to something else. We asked Sylvia to take charge of where you were falling into this world."

"'Give this man his life, Lazareth.'"

"Even then, I think it's unscrupulous. But here's what Cyan said"

"'Lazareth is dead, why is this guy alive? Why is this guy alive and Lazareth dead?',"

That said, he lips remorsefully.

I don't know how to speak up.

"... I may be rested, but I thought I'd stop. But at the same time, I thought,

"'Lazareth says... his own child will come back'"

"... or"

"So I couldn't stop it. I didn't get a word about 'Let's Not' against her at the time. I couldn't get it out...!

... sadness mixes in with his voice that keeps saying that.

At that moment, I understood.

He said he was a victim, too.

"So one day you said you wanted to go on a journey."

"... you're..."

"So, she said." I can't accept his wishes, "he said." In the worst possible way, let's betray him. "

"... it is"

"So I set them up for my birthday. But there was only one unexpected thing."

"Cyan has sheltered you."

That, too, I remember.

But this far, there must be no reason to shelter me.

"... I was surprised, too. But maybe somewhere in her heart, she didn't hate you enough."

"... Huh?

"Because she always seemed spicy. In my sleep, I've heard so many times that it's not supposed to be like this."

"Oh, or..."

"That's not why I want you to forgive me. If you hate me, you can kill me."

With that said, he comes from the nostalgia, handing over one dagger.

That's when I got something in my eye.

"... I don't think so."

"Huh?"

"'Cause my dagger, he's got it for me"

That said, he saw a wooden dagger in his own pocket.

If I thought I'd lost it, he'd have it.

And at the same time, the tears drop zero.

"... Ah, fuck. That's crazy. Why, tears. Don't look, don't look."

"Lazareth......"

"Damn, I can't wet my tears. My arm, it won't move, damn it...!

I just kept crying on his back.

... just received raw as a human, like a baby.

That's when I had a hand that gently wiped my cheek with a handkerchief.

"Lazareth......"

"... Manica"

"We must survive."

"... I'm not going to die."

I shake off my strays and speak on my father's back.

"Dad, what the hell is a demon?

"... to the entity, I guess' death 'itself. A being who kills what he touches, has no memory, no emotion, just wandering around there"

"It's..."

"In this world, I lurk my breath as a human being. So..."

"We have to stop it."

Sylvia was ahead of her cool voice.

But I don't feel hostile to her for some reason.

Besides, there's something wrong with the tone.

"They may have no consciousness. But I have to help you. At least that's how I got your father to teach me"

"... father?

"Yes. Originally, we were human. But one day, I had a spell on my hands."

"... transferring people's lives, spells"

"Yes, something's gone wrong since that day."

"Forcing Bettenburg's body, which is almost childhood tame, to come back to life as a golem, or to bring back the devil, to try to destroy this world"

"... what, the grass of it"

I try to open my mouth because of what you did, but I can't speak well because of it.

Besides, Scott glances at this one and urges him with his eyes to shut up and listen.

"Sylvia liked Bettenburg. His brain says he's right as a human."

"... what?

"But he left the world. And now, even if she sees the Bettenburg golem, she's losing any emotions. to this world… is no longer finding value"

"That's why I have to stop. Sylvia's, as my sister...... and as my only friend"

That's what she said, shoulder to shoulder with me rather than walk to us.

And then Scott finally opened his mouth.

"Let's go, Master Charlotte. Perhaps Sylvia has already spoken with the Sophias."

"... is, Charlotte?

"Yes, my body has been taken over by her. You can't get in with this body."

... Oh, I finally get it.

The mastermind of this war.

Sylvia.

I have to kill him.

At that time, I was impressed by what I thought was not 'saving' her, but simply 'killing' her.
