Episode 95: Lila Toja

Serena collapsed.

A fierce man, proud of his world-renowned martial arts, finally falls to the blade by a legendary villain. People stare with amazement at the adventurer card, or its sight reflected from the labyrinth to the sky everywhere.

With a completely different emotion than that, Lila stared at Serena with the thought that she couldn't believe her defeat.

Serena's wounds are deep. It is not a wound that stops bleeding naturally. I have to help you right away. The Adventurer Card function must block the wound. Otherwise, Serena will die.

Still, Lila couldn't move.

"Shh……………."

I couldn't believe it.

Because a human being as strong as Serena was defeated, not.

"Lie, it's..."

Lila repeats like every wow.

I still can't believe what you just said. The truth that Serena faded away the shock of her death, the fact that she had forgotten Toja, is breaking Lila's heart.

Serena thought she wouldn't forget.

Because if Serena forgets, it is.

"I'm not lying. Hey, Lila Toja. You'll see. This is the truth."

Knowing oblivion that I didn't even want to know, it wasn't the blade that caused the fatal injury that was put on Lila, full of cadaver gaps, it was the voice that cared for my heart.

Lyla looks up.

Lyla was a girl who still left her childhood on her face. She looked like a lost child when she said she was a hero who had reached the bottom of the labyrinth, but had lost a good one to rely on.

"I know, how you feel. You may not have even wanted to know that this is the world, but it's an unmistakable truth. Humans are always forgetful."

It's too pale a voice to show understanding. But there was definite intimacy.

If it were a lila full of gaps right now, I would have killed him lightly, and for some reason, I wouldn't. On the contrary, Krook Looper delivers a double knife to his sheath. Even activated the healing function of the Adventurer card towards Serena.

Serena's wounds in the light heal. Consciousness will not return, but there will be no sequelae. Doesn't seem like the Adventurer Card feature is unavailable. Even so, Krook Looper kept his wounds intact.

Lila doesn't know what that means.

"If we know what humanity is guilty of, let's not fight it. I don't want to kill you. We can speak the language. Humans can speak. Humans have developed because they were intelligent. We're the only animals you can understand."

What are you talking about being rational?

Lyla is confused when she is preached on an ethic that a killer cannot possibly talk about, and she blanks her consciousness out of the blue.

"There are people in this world who can never tell that they did speak the language. We owe it to this intelligence and belief that those who never understand have to be killed... we can understand each other. Wouldn't you?

What do you know?

"You've been saying that since the beginning. You are certainly an unexpected hero, but there are no more vessels on any other path. So I'll show you around."

Lyla tried to laugh with her nose at Krook Looper, who had been alertly reaching out. This lunatic killed a man. They've killed too many people. Forgive me for that. He told me to miss it. He told me to take my stretched hand. It won't be possible. Not everyone else that Lyla doesn't know has done this guy harm. Even Serena, who was a dear companion of Lyla...... even Serena.

I forgot toja, even serena?

Serena isn't the only one.

How many people in this world think of Tokja right now?

"Follow me, Lila Toja. I'm going to let you meet that scumbag."

"Why... am I, to kill him..."

"No, you're not."

Presented with the presence of an unforgivable resentful enemy, the objections finally narrowed out, the words of the powerless Lyla are lightly denied.

"That's a mistake. No, there's a story about this. I see, I know what it's like to resent him. Yeah, I get it. They killed my dear partner. You're supposed to feel less hated. Eh. There's no way you're going to kill him! Oh, I know exactly what you mean! But hey!

I'm barking at my voice gradually.

Lyla's heart trembled in what could be described as Kruk Looper's grand reverence. Even his words break Lila's heart by piercing her.

"But still, even if it is, I can't forgive them any more. There are more sinful scumbags in this world than that. You know what I mean? Look at Serena earlier, you'll see. They forget about people's deaths. Even if someone close to you is killed, it makes you laugh. All humans living in this world do. You're crazy. No matter how much I kill around, they're laughing on the safe side. He's always going crazy."

A man who must be the craziest has a broken smile cursing at his normal functioning for humanity.

"If that's unacceptable, be an administrator, Lila Toja"

"Admin..."

"Oh, yeah. The labyrinth is now without a hundred layers of administrator. The cat is sitting there, but he's out of line."

"……… What about a hundred layers of demon king?

"Do you know that too? He's... Lucifaris the Demon King is dead. You wouldn't have been there by the time you guys went to the hundred floors, would you? Lucifaris was killed three hundred years ago by that haunted cat. Since then, 100 floors and 77 floors have been empty."

Kluk Looper overtakes his pompous and leaked knowledge of Lyla as no longer information of the past.

But why am I being suggested like that? Become an administrator. Lyla doesn't even know what that choice means.

"What happens when you become an administrator of a hundred layers……."

"It's what you really want."

Open your eyes to the shock that's hard to brush.

Lila's real desire. That's killing that haunted cat, not that. Killing that haunted cat is just revenge, nothing more or less.

Everything about Lyla is for one person only. Even if one of them dies, Lila has lived for him.

Toja.

Just for her own partner, Lila kept living in this world.

"Conversely, as long as you become a hundred layers of administrator, the Haunted Cat will do what you want."

"Really, really!?

"I'm not saying it's going to be complete. But at least it's closer than you are now."

That's what Krook Looper tells Lyla, who has a rough voice.

Only for a moment, Lyla saw Serena falling on the floor.

Former companion. Falling, my friend. That's not all. The clan that Lyla runs, a friend I've been talking to. What Lyla has left on the ground is too much.

Seeing through all of that, but Krook Looper grins at Lila's hesitation.

"Throw away all that stuff. You know what I mean. We'll all forget about it. The clan you're desperately maintaining right now, Thunderclap, forgets about the living Toja and throws it away. Let's get rid of this traitor."

That's right.

Lila's emotions echo the voices that make her discomfort disappear and echo directly into her mind.

'Cause even that Serena forgot about Toja. If that was someone else, it would be all the more so.

Lila has been trying so hard to keep the feat of Doha in this world until now. Yet we all forget. There will be no one left, and they will wear out the memory of Doha and bury it in time.

"How long have you been wearing your good boy's face? The guys in this world don't get what you want when you wear a mask like that. But I assure you. A hundred layers of haunted cats will make sure you do what you want right now. So be you. To a hundred stories of gatekeepers."

From Lyla's black eyes, the stray disappeared.

Lost is determined. A grudge is eager. A noble thunderbolt lights the dark clouds.

Lyla flirts and steps off the road.

"……… I'm sorry."

Where did you point it at the puffiness and the smallness and crushing? To the world, to your own clan, to Serena, who falls at your feet, or to your own partner, who is no longer there. I don't know that. At the very least, I was sure that it wasn't just to the five-haired, glamorous girl who was staring at the footage that was now flowing into the world.

Turning the apology into a categorical one, Lila Toja leaves King's Road. Heroes betray the world as humanity stares at the scene as video.

"Guide me, Krook Looper"

"Oh, welcome, Lila Toja"

Hero Lila Toja took the hand of the great villain, Krook Looper, of her own free will.
