Quiet time continues.
Insects roar outside, and the town is quiet.
The guard soldiers had already swept the boat, and it was almost like I was asleep too.
I wake up at that hour and look at the flames instead of the lights in front of me.
Silence.
Loneliness.
Darkness.
It was a place, as if all of them had combined.
The cold brick feels on my leg.
... from a killer, to a hero.
And from hero to killer.
The former is him, and the latter is me.
I don't care who you ask, he's right and I'm wrong.
He was too weak to protect anything.
As a result, I think I was helping the wrong thing.
... but it was a flinch.
I think that guy, more than anyone else, has always faced his sins.
He didn't even have the option of throwing it all out and becoming a less lasalless who didn't know anything about sage.
The feeling of blood returns to the palm restrained in the rear hand.
Those guys are demons.
Destroyed the world, the devil.
... but why did I try to avenge them?
Because you used me? No. It was the usual thing to be used.
Besides, I don't know if even those guys wanted to be demons if they followed the original.
Two people, Bettenburg and Sylvia, woke them up.
A plush stuck in my hand erodes my heart.
Besides, where I regret it now, it's too late.
Because they can't be the devil anymore.
In a quiet world, one terminator echoes.
A soldier on the lookout woke up to be bounced by that voice.
"Hey, what!?
He rushes up the stairs in a big hurry.
I shrugged towards the dark after I dropped him off like that.
"... here we go, Nicolai"
"Oh, here we go. You wanna come upstairs, too?
"Right. Before you do that, would you please take this off?
I turn to the darkness and show my hands chained behind my back.
He destroys it with a familiar hand and uses something like a pench to become a shadow and open the outer key.
"Come on, get out. I'm a little uncomfortable that you're next door, but more than that, I want to see the outside."
"... I agree. Even I have to see the night scene with my sad, gray-haired old man."
He doesn't respond to my light mouth and goes straight up.
I follow him like that up the stairs, but there was no one in the castle.
Naturally, this is because I (...) and I (...) are (...) in (...).
"There's a balcony up there. Come on."
That's all he says, he goes first.
Chasing after him as I looked around the castle where no one was either, I got a view of the night from there, as I was told, on the balcony.
Nicolai, who was following me earlier, gently prompts me with his hands.
Looking down, the aliens with green skin were attacking the humans.
Firehands rose everywhere, and all those in this country seemed confused by the sudden events.
I go up to the corner of the balcony and sit back and watch the streets like that.
"... demonize, or"
"Oh. I didn't know this would happen when we raided just a little bit of the Pope's magic in the river. I suppose it would be forbidden to aim for water... but this is also the will of the Pope"
"You don't think anything?
"Beautiful words? He doesn't seem like a wise man."
"It's not. It's okay to feel accomplished or anything."
Once Nicolai looked at this one, he answered with his gaze straight back into the streets.
"I don't know, man."
"Huh?"
"We're religion, aren't we? It would be cult, but it would be orthodox, but still religion. Unlike a fighter who can defeat his enemies. Not to mention, what value can you find for a win like this?
"... Nikolai"
"Whoa, don't get me wrong. I just like twisting my enemies with my own hands. Nothing, I didn't mean to wake up to justice."
"Oh, I know. You're an animal. It's amazing, too."
Nicolai smiles at the words.
The next moment, there was someone who spoke to us from behind.
"... deserter Lazareth, and Nicolai, right?
"I'm here. The innocent."
Nicolai told him to do it. Raising his hand in the wind, the man behind him raises his voice even more.
I stared at him like that with my back.
"My name is Neumann. There's no reason to teach you family names."
"... introducing myself. I'm sorry, uh, Neumann?
When Nicolai blends into the shadows, he instantly packs his distance from him.
And he starts talking in an awesome low voice.
I saw him like that.
"You're a little loud."
With that said, he slowly points his right arm at Neumann.
Neumann also replied by taking a great distance as to whether the sense of crisis worked for the action.
"Oh, lucky me"
Shut up, you thieves!
'Cause, Lazareth.
"Right. Do it on your own."
Breathe, turn your back.
At any rate, victory or defeat is decided.
Neumann. I've seen that name and figure in the castle once.
A giant with somewhat burnt skin, he used to yell and scatter the soldiers of the castle.
"What have you done to this country?!?
"Come on, do you have proof that we did this?
"Don't be ridiculous! Damn it, did Sir Bettenburg do this?
... How come her name comes up?
Nicolai thinks so too, tells him to ask.
"... Bettenburg?
"Oh. Lazareth, one of the heroes, is there. I saw you and Bettenburg talking before! That sounds very intimate too!
"Well, did you get Bettenburg's name?
"Oh yeah. Your thoughts are on the palm of His Majesty the wise King Isel!
When he finishes saying that, a voice is thrown from Nicolai.
"That's right, Lazareth? What do we do?"
"... you know"
"Oh. Are you sure?
"What did I find out about the end of such an idiot? If you want to kill me, I'll leave you to Nicolai."
"... then let's just say I'll be left to it. Come on, uh... Neumann?
"That alarm is killing me! You're going to die, Nicolai!
With a tremendous roar, the sound of the floor smashing all over my ear.
And after a while, one person, sounded like he was going down.
At your feet, blood is flowing.
"... Well, do you want to go home? Lazareth, are you coming too?
"I... I don't know what to do. This country is already a matter of time. I'm not taking your side any more."
"Come on, that won't hold up. We're going somewhere without saying anything to Lynne and the others, even if I'm a boulder, right?
... Sure, they owe me.
"Right. Just to thank you, I'm on my way to Mactoria."
"... Mactoria, huh?"
"You still knew a lot about Takashi," he said.
"Well, hey. It's the 'wise man' law, and he says I don't know as much about the wise man as I do about the Cardinal."
Go to Mactoria and meet Cyan.
... and then I die.
I don't intend to put it on the wise man's law or on Isel's side anymore.
"So, what are you gonna do when you meet Cyan? You're not asking me to see you and forgive you, are you?
"... oh. I just want to hear it from him."
"Heh. So what... is it wild to ask?
That's what he says and holds his mouth.
I just wanted to hear it from her.
"You were wrong," he said.
... because then I felt like something of mine would be saved.
I had already lost the feeling that I was going to kill them.
I'm tired. For everything.
Even to bear the stigma of a killer.
There was purple fog swirling around us.
