I kept running through the burning city.

In the streets, the number of bodies is even billion-dollar.

... There was a face I saw.

"... fuck"

I turn away from them and keep going for the castle where they told me there was everyone in the wolf at first sight.

In a creepy city where everyday sounds scratched out, I came to one thought.

What (...) late (...), (...) nobody (...) yes (...)? (...)

Shaping the view in front of me is a pile of corpses and a flame like filling the town.

Other than that, there was nothing.

Except for the feeling that it's too quiet.

I thought maybe... but I don't want to admit such a possibility, and even if I did now, it's in the way of my thoughts.

But... at that moment, I did stop.

Because of that, I finally realized the signs of someone standing behind me.

"... who is it? If you don't answer, I'll kill you without question."

He holds the sword shaped by ice with one hand and speaks to the darkness with his back turned.

I tried to kill him instantly no matter what he did, but what I heard was an unexpected… fall, sound.

"... what"

I am, and the words that were supposed to follow are blocked by the view in front of me.

There, a familiar man, one of those involved in the architecture of the orphanage, was falling down with blood from his belly.

"Hey! You okay?!?

"Oh, I'm glad you noticed... I'm not saying anything bad, I can't do this country anymore. Just your brother, get out of here..."

"What, what happened!? Damn, take care of the scratches..."

"The witch... all of a sudden, the witch started attacking us..."

... I was concerned about the part about witches.

For a moment I thought it was because of the law of the wise, but the reason they attack this country is faint.

But more than that.

"I'll take care of the wound now! Don't talk to me!

"Yu and his soldiers were taking him to the castle... I'm sure you'll be fine..."

When I say that, I spit blood out of my mouth at the same time as I spit it in.

The look was so painful, I didn't see him anywhere who was enjoyably drinking.

"Enough! I'm telling you not to talk!

Apply healing magic to his body.

But instead of blocking the wound, there are no signs of recovery.

This was the first time I've done this.

"Why, why not! Damn, how could...!

"That's okay, brother... I lived long enough... Too much for me to have a good time..."

"Please, don't talk to me! I will definitely heal...!

The injury will not heal.

Words sound empty.

He grabbed my wrist weakly and forced me to make a laugh and said when I was half frenzied.

"Brother...... happy, live. You are a good man, so you have the right to live happily ever after..."

"... eh"

It suggests that the blood being drained from the wound is clearly too late, even from an amateur point of view.

Still, I don't want to give up.

If I give up here now...... no, there's no reason.

I want to help him.

"I'll carry you to the castle! Hold on till then! Even doctors there..."

"Oh...... What, you guys? All of you..."

"Whoa! Wait, wait!

"Ha, I showed you all that..."

The hand that was holding my wrist weakly falls to the ground.

At that moment, I fell into a sensation where my heart was overshadowed by the dark emotions that I could hardly describe.

Even when it comes to grievances, it is indisputable.

"... Shisei -? Shiatsu, right?

Turning around, there stood a girl, one of the children I protected.

When I realize it, I realize my mouth is open before I even know it.

"... you too"

Stop it.

Ahead, don't say.

"So did you."

"... Huh?

Don't be aware.

In words, you shouldn't.

If I do that, I...

"You were a witch, too."

I'm going back to weapons.

Slowly, we approach the girl.

Please, someone, please.

Me, Metechle.

"I'm sorry, I'm worried about Seikei..."

I can't stop walking.

Neither does the girl, you haven't noticed my anomaly, not a single step.

I get such a headache that I'm about to throw up.

That's when before my eyes, the last person I should see right now got into my eyes.

"... ah, oh"

"... Shisei -?

"Oh, oh! Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!

Earliest, the roar of an unspoken beast.

When I realized, my body was dancing in the universe trying to jump.

And call the name of the being in front of you.

"Da (...) li (...) a (...) aah!!

In the air, a weight-bearing sword tip is swung down by her.

The first attack was avoided where it was done, and a large indentation was created, mainly on the spot.

By doing so, you finally realize more than I do, and the girl screams away from the spot.

"... you are"

"I'll kill you, you will, I'll kill you here and now!

Hit the sword with a grudge.

She took it easy with something like a thin needle stuck in her finger.

The sound of a sword trident dyes the sound of the surrounding area where no one is anymore.

"What, 'do nothing'! Whatever, if you get the right, that's fine! Give it back, give me back my peace!

……

"Say something back. Yikes! Let me hear your lofty thoughts!

"... kata"

"What?"

"We lost, we lost.... No, I am"

"... what are you talking about?

Obviously, things are not right with Dahlia, and the doubt is stronger than the grudge in me.

He had that look on his face, as if he had given up somewhere, without the attitude of being as relaxed as usual.

"I lost to Demon Nukes from the rest of the world. Few more witches are made of my magic."

"... what do you mean? Demon nuclei in other worlds?

"My magic was taken from me by him. The witch, who was my magic, was also mostly put under his control. Replaced by magic."

"Well, the kids... Huh!

Turn around and see the girl earlier.

I didn't realize it earlier because it lacked calm, but when I saw it, I was still staring at the ground with a face that seemed to cry.

"Guys, all of a sudden, I'm the only one who helped..."

"... just you, is it?

"... yeah"

So finally, I realized.

The reason why this country was strangely quiet and disgusting in the previous world.

How could it have interfered not only with Isel, but also with other countries?

The demon nucleus in Dahlia was destined to disappear at this point in time.

"Dahlia, help me! If he takes me to your nucleus, I can't take it back."

"... say no. It's out of the question to help you."

"It's not a matter of personal affection! With a cage called my flesh, you can't replace magic!?

Witches are incomplete beings who leave their magic intact. With stronger magic, it would be possible to drive consciousness crazy.

... as I did my own mother and father.

But with a cage called flesh, there shouldn't be a chance that every ego will take over.

More importantly, the theory should have been proven at a time when the lasales of the previous world has not.

"Trust me, you're talking about me! I don't want to live without those kids! Even you don't want to end up being used by him!?

……

"I have to do it here and now, it's really over! You may hate this world, but I..."

I don't hate you.

I keep my mouth shut to unexpected words.

The word felt the opposite of the impression I had of her.

"... hate, don't you?

"Oh.... originally I, the flesh called Dahlia, was still a person in this world. Where magic normally existed in this world,"

... very seriously, look me in the eye.

For the first time, I felt as if I had touched her heart.

"... fine. I'll help you. But I'll get you a drink on this condition."

"What?

"I'm sure you'll see my memory when my power is poured into your magic. At that time, 'Don't show me coordination'"

"... why?

"As long as emotions are in tune, magic becomes one easily. My magic and yours are immense. If those two overlap... you will become the devil himself"

"Devil..."

"Come on, get your hands on it. Don't let me swallow you."

When I stuck my hand forward, she took that wrist and forced me to pierce my own chest.

At that moment, my consciousness left me at the bottom of dark darkness.
