"... if you get this far, I wonder if you've gone beyond the Forse realm"
Scott groans so, turning around.
Already the castle town of Forse was far away, at a distance that would easily escape even if the chaser came.
So I hit Scott's shoulder softly.
"Thank you, Dad. Because I can move now."
"Oh well. Okay."
That's all Scott says, he puts me down gently on the floor.
I stood up once on my knees on the floor.
But the paralysis that had already tied her body up disappeared, only the pain when she was already beaten to death by Nicolai.
Maybe my magic is returning.
"Well, Manica, Ferres. We're going to Mactoria, but what are you guys going to do?
"I'll follow you to Lasalles.... and something amazing is about to happen right now, isn't it? Then you can't look away."
"Likewise"
"... I'll tell you what, I don't know if even I'll be a force from here on out. I mean, I'm not sure I can protect you. Still, okay?
The two snort.
... The truth is, I wanted them to run to Peswen.
But I want to stand up to it. If they did, there's nothing to say from me.
"Dad, before we head to Mactoria, there's a place I'd like you to head for once."
"Fine, but I can't stay very long."
"I know. First, I want to pick up the Sophias."
"... Sophia? Could it be that you're referring to the current Bettenburg winner girl?
"Yeah. I'm sure he's fighting Forse now"
... to my words, Scott with a bitter face.
Is something wrong?
Sure, it's going to take some time to help them now, but do we need to reject them that far?
That's when Charlotte, who had been silent for a while, spoke up.
"I know how you feel, Scott. But don't you think we can help them now?
"... Dear Charlotte"
"You don't have to rush things, now you just have to get the Demon Nucleus"
"... get the Demon Nucleus, what are you going to do?
"Oh, didn't I tell you?
"Neutralize the demonic nucleus and the holy nucleus and pour magic into the people of this world. That way, both the Devil's Nucleus and the Holy Nucleus will vanish each other."
... I felt chills in my heart at that moment.
Sylvia said that neutralizing the Devil's Nucleus and the Holy Nucleus would summon the Devil.
But what she was saying was the other way around, just like Dahlia was saying.
"... if you pour magic into humans, won't you become a demon clan?
"That's only if you pour in more than one magic. If it's one, there's no problem. Just..."
She cuts the words along the way, but looks up as if she had made up her mind.
"It's just that those on the magic side...... I mean, witches are taken in by people in this world and they lose their personality, their memory, all of that"
... That's what she says, she shuts up.
But Manica, on the other hand, opened her mouth so that it was nothing.
"... ok. Then I hope we make a sacrifice again."
"... Manica?
"It's okay, we're dead once, and I'm not scared to death again."
Lazareth remembered me, too.
That said, she laughs innocently.
I grabbed her by the shoulder.
"No, you don't..."
"Lasalles?"
"You don't! How can you say I should sacrifice myself!? You're leaving us again because you've been able to see us again!
"Hey, what are you angry about? Nothing, Lazareth isn't going to die..."
"I'm telling you because I'm worse than dead! You think you don't want to be in this world!
Oh, what the hell am I talking about?
I'm not in a position to say the way she thinks.
Who the hell is talking to her?
"Whoever else refuses, I need a manica. As a friend, I don't want Manica to sacrifice any more."
"... glad. But you shouldn't."
That's what she said, gently take my hand and add it to her cheek.
That's when she looked like she laughed for a moment.
"Dad, you don't have to do that, there's a way to stop the devil!?
"I do. I do..."
"Then...!
"I'm sure it won't be a lot of results"
... That's what he said in his eyes, no jokes included.
I've never seen him before, his serious expression.
That's why I couldn't help but explore the meaning of the word.
"Why, why...!?
"The devil appears with the collapse of both the Devil's and Holy Nukes. At that time, a demon appeared who was distracted by people."
"Discuss the demon beforehand. It's not impossible, but you know what I'm saying to Lasalles?
... haha, and a dry laugh spills in my heart.
You mean witches and humans, in the end, demons can't be sealed without trumpeting one or the other?
If we don't cut it off......
That's when I first realized.
I'm not a savior.
In the end, it was a helpless monster.
... but if you can still figure it out...
"... sorry, Manica. I said irresponsible things."
"... yeah. I'm glad to hear it."
"Sacrifice me, will you"
Eat up your teeth and bow your head to her.
You can't sacrifice an innocent people.
Even witches aren't guilty.
But... if I were to survive, I would be the one who was originally in this world.
"Fine, face up"
Manica has a bright voice, as usual, that speaks to me.
When I looked up, she smiled at me again after a moment of trouble.
... Daimyo, you must have had such a sad face to look at.
"I'm fine. I've always been grateful to the wise."
……
"The truth is, we're already dead in that world. But thanks to Lazareth, I had a dream. Friends, too."
That's what I'm saying, she looks better at Ferres.
Ferres, too, was just staring at her.
"That's enough. So I met Lazareth again."
"... you don't blame me"
"Yeah. I don't blame you. Once upon a time, Lazareth helped me, didn't she? I was scared then, but in the end, Lazareth didn't try to hurt me, he kept it from me."
"Now I will save Lazareth."
That said, she strokes my head softly.
... Nothing, I couldn't say.
If I talk about something now, I'm sure I'll say something that'll get her in trouble.
So all I could do was just let her stroke my head.
After a while, she takes her hands off my head and turns back to Charlotte.
"Let's go. To save the Sofias."
"... ok. I'm really, really sorry."
"That's okay. Originally I am not here."
That said, she laughs lonely.
... No, she was laughing, as if to push her loneliness to the fullest.
That day, for the first time, I prayed to something called God.
It's not a miracle, it's a coincidence.
That she will survive some mistake.
