I push the ice-column or the fire-column at all costs to the Mentila in front of me.

But he's a brave man. Magic is all set to be erased.

I don't like meatballs. I mean, even if a miracle happens, there's no way he can beat it in front of him.

"Give it up already. You are a wise man, not Lazareth. You can't use a sword properly."

"... I don't care how you say it. It's like I'm inferior to Lasalles."

"That's right. So that's what I'm saying."

With that word he instantly packs his distance and strokes my cheek with the sword he had.

Blood erupts from the stroked area, but I can't afford to worry about it.

Besides... I'm done doing this already.

If this even succeeded, so did my (...) own (...) role (...) eyes (...) and my (...) end (...).

Its role is to destroy Isel.

Then let's let the guy in front of us eat about one shot before he dies.

I think so, resting my hands once for all on the magic that has been unleashed against him, and running straight out towards him.

That seemed unexpected to him, too, of the boulder, and my fist is punched all over his cheek.

"... Ha. Did you think you could beat me with this intact?

Eat up your teeth and make a laugh.

The expression appears to have touched his inverse scale, making the expression even more rugged than earlier.

At the same time, a dull impact is coming from my abdomen.

Looking down, the patterned head part of his sword was stuck in my abdomen.

I can see all the air coming out of my body, as well as my consciousness gradually letting go.

... If you're going to die here, well, it's not a bad result.

That's when he shrugged next door.

"... don't think I'm gonna die"

The words felt colder than any I had ever heard.

―――

"Me" was in this place.

Nowhere, somewhere in the world.

From there, "I" have seen a variety of worlds for tens of thousands, hundreds of millions of years.

The world to be born, the world to perish at the end of its life.

In one world, some people called me God.

One time 'I' found one 'Ningen'.

He was alone, crying sadly.

"I" was interested in that "Ningen" at one point.

But 'I' couldn't get out of here.

"Me," not "Ningen."

I can't die, and I don't know what emotion is.

I can't laugh like them, I can't cry, I can't love someone.

Besides... there are worlds that have perished because of my interference.

So I made a promise to Me that I would not interfere in the world.

But 'I' finally went to see that 'Ningen'.

I'm not alone. "Me" is watching all the time.

To convey that word, I broke my promise to me.

- So 'I' met one girl and one boy.

I hear voices.

"... Dear Mentila, I didn't know you were Captain Zahr's benefactor earlier and I'm sorry"

"I don't mind. I'm sure I couldn't handle you well under my command. Besides, they got him. Because this alone would have weakened the Wise Men's Act considerably"

In front of you, Mentila, is it one of the knights? Those two are talking.

But the iron lattice stood still, as if to block me and the two of them.

Hands and ankles, each chained, can't even move.

Besides, for some reason, there was no magic left in my body. It must have been Mentila's fault.

"So, what's Master Mentila going to do with this guy?

"... I'm not interested in this guy. You can do something about it."

"Then the execution will be carried out by us..."

"Yeah. But before that..."

The direction of the voice turns this way.

Now he talks, not with an earlier serene voice, but with a voice as if it had boiled back from the bottom of his belly.

"Lazareth, are you awake?

"... I'm awake. Because you didn't kill me."

"I'm not going to kill you. I'm not the one who kills you. I wonder how many people hate you in this world."

"... I don't know"

"You killed. Mother for someone, father for someone, brother, sister, friend, everything. You broke it in one day."

……

"... do you know how much that is?

That said, he grabs the iron lattice and embarks on himself.

Literally, as if to fang.

"You know what I mean!? You saved a life, you killed it yourself!!

"... that's what. You want me to regret it? Or do you want me to apologize too?

"You!

The knight next door barks, too.

They're really, really loud people.

I said I was a wise man trying to save the world.

"Savior," I said.

"A little bit more, I thought you were a smart person"

"I told you. I'm not a sage, I'm a fool. But I was still gonna save the world, wasn't I?

"... you are"

He says something and waves the first time on the way and walks away somewhere.

Now it's just time for the remaining soldiers to throw so much cursing gossip at me that I can't hear it.

"The Devil." That's why it's "The Madman."

Who the hell is that?

I sneer and listen to it, but it was stopped by someone once.

"... Captain Zahr"

"Will you take your seat off? I need to talk to you once."

"But... ugh!

"Please."

In front of me, Zahr bows his head.

Speaking of which, I felt like I'd never seen Zahr bow his head to someone before.

"Kuk, I can't believe you asked someone to do this. Sometimes it was unusual. See, Zahr?"

"... Lasalles"

"... you're here to kill me. We should do it now, huh? The Wise Men's Act itself is not doomed."

"I'm not forgiving you. But we just need to talk."

That said, Zahr sits on the ground near the iron lattice.

So, just as I spoke, I spewed out the pompous and the words.

"... you've always been a pain in the ass"

"... ah?

"As I was playing, I left me and Cyan, and they went home, they fell asleep without helping me wash my dinner dishes, and they were much, much less of a character than they are now"

"Oh. So what?

"... since when did you start carrying something in there all by yourself"

... Since when,?

Specifically, I'm sure he'll come up with it, too.

There's no other day I've changed dramatically than that one.

"I killed my own mother and my father. That day, the day I decided to run away."

"... I know."

"I've been with them ever since... I thought I'd set them apart from their blood. I thought I wasn't gonna be like those guys."

……

"But you're gonna laugh, aren't you? There's no blood connection between me and him. Because I am nothing but a mass of magic created from the nucleus."

They are nothing but those sent from the nucleus of the devil.

I'm sure you didn't even think of me as a family.

"Besides, it's my fault they went crazy. They and I are magic hunks, so they were more magical to me."

"... Lasalles"

"I can't live properly from birth. Then... I'll do my job and die."

I take revenge on Isel.

In the same position of being human as them, I wanted revenge.

to this reality.

Destiny.

For everything.

Then keep your mouth shut and Zahr will squeal.

As if, exhale.

"... what was this world to you?

"... it was a waste of time. I even think it would have been easier if I had died then."

"Right..."

That being said, Zahr gets up and walks away somewhere.

And only some sad silence was left in this place.
