Perspective – I

"What's wrong with me ...... doing this?"

His voice echoed emptily through the foyer.

Ahhhh I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.

This man was broken from the start. No, maybe not. But regardless of the process, the current Maio Brissan Klegniers has gone mad. The conviction in his eyes at this moment is even beyond that of the believer who has received the revelation of God, and his confession is so pure.

So, I don't understand him.

"I—I've known her for a long, long time. I've known her for a long time, and I'm the one who knows her best, but I don't know her like that!"

Who is she referring to?

Is it the original Golden Kitia Della?

Or Karina, the maid who follows the golden hime.

I do not know.

“…… So, even if it's just one or a little, I want to collect the traces she left behind before she died. ”

Then, Karina, whom he saw by the spring, was probably preparing to escape from Bailongqing's side.

I pressed her and was taken aback. Because Karina said, "She is the Golden Queen." I—I didn't believe her for a while, no, but, you know, how happy I was at that time? Because, because, even if Ti and Tiadella died, the golden Ji didn't die!

Mai Ao shouted.

Stuttering could not stop him from pouring out his inner thoughts. Charmed by the miracles of Cinderella's magic, he is the preacher who tells the great gospel.

I don't understand.

But she said, "Run away." Escape from Bai and Bai Longqing, and take Bai Yinji and Regina to escape from the Shuangxiang Tower. She also said, "Mai Oh will help me." ”

For her, Mai Ao should be a trustworthy childhood sweetheart.

If he found out, then he would definitely lend a hand, and it was because of this thought that she confessed everything to him. However, Mai O's thoughts are not necessarily the same as hers. No, it should be said that the direction (vector) is exactly the opposite -

"How can it be...... How could I allow this to happen?! Even if she died, she would have to get back that beauty! Even if I killed her, I would have to keep her! Bai Yinji's research must continue! Because I, we have seen the end, the point. Now that you have reaped the fruits, you must move on! As a demon and magician, you have to do this!"

"Really?"

I finally asked.

"Do you really think so?"

"W-......?"

I looked around at the crowd, and almost everyone had no negative attitude on their faces, except for disgust for Miao.

"'Even if you sacrifice your childhood sweetheart, you have to fulfill your wishes'—do you take it for granted?"

No one answered. I see, it seems that I was right.

"Are you—he——all—white—idiot———!!!"

For the first time, I realized that the words in my mouth were so consistent with my inner reaction, but now I don't care about that.

"One by one...... Is there something wrong with your brain!?Just kill your childhood sweetheart for a beauty?Just keep silent about this behavior for the sake of an ethereal 'root'?What, this is, if it weren't for the way it is, I really want to see what is going on in your hearts!!"

Is it because of what happened in the past few days, or is it because of the pressure brought to me by the surrounding environment? I and I have both accumulated the same feelings in different ways.

And I'm now venting our feelings.

First of all, "I"-

"It's so strange! No one here is a human disqualified murderer - the uncle is desperately investigating the case, and the sisters are saddened by the death of their family, everyone has flesh and blood - but why is no one coming to [confess] to the crime of murder now? Murder is wrong!!"

Ahh

Some are in pity, some are stunned, some are mocking, some are sighing.

Why are such people here? Me too. When I said it, I realized that "I" was really naïve enough, was it because of the influence of that guy? No matter what, it was enviable to be able to say this.

So, draw boundaries.

I turned to look down at Mai O, who was still sitting on the ground.

"—To be honest, as far as I'm concerned, I'm just disgusted by your behavior. ”

"Ahh

"Take me as an example - although it didn't use what you call magic or anything, this body was born through countless transformations and killings, even if it didn't reach its goal in the end. ”

"You, you're saying, what?"

In other words, I don't think it's strange to cross the moral bottom line in order to pursue something like this, after all, this kind of person is also in us. ”

In the darkness of the foyer, Mai's eyes faltered.

Like a lost child who has been shown the way to healing, his smile is innocent and cruel.

"Both, both, since so,"

"In that case—why didn't you do anything to anyone else at that time? ”

I asked directly.

"W-what—"

"That's the party. There are so many beautiful women, why didn't they take them away with medicine? There are so many 'experimental materials', why did they just let them go unharmed? In the case of losing the golden princess, shouldn't you hurry up and give birth to another pair of twins to prevent future troubles? Wouldn't it be better to catch a beautiful woman directly than to go back and find it again, and give birth to a high-quality 'rough stone', why didn't you do it?"

The magicians around them widened their eyes, as if to say, what nonsense this man was talking about.

But unfortunately, I'm not talking nonsense, it's a question I've had since I knew the truth.

"The gang problem? What is that? Lack of funding? No impact. Families are ruined and people are dead. Why not? Anything can be discarded in the face of what you absolutely want to pursue. Any affection can be discarded - anyway, you should have done it when you approached Rhaenys, because Grey and I were cheated on at the time. ”

Mai O's mouth opens and closes like a goldfish, and it seems that he will spit out bubbles in the next second.

"—How, how, how, how could there be, there was such a mess,"

"Mess around, ha! That's it. ”

I think back to my time in the lab. And on the other side of hell, the scientists who have no hesitation in destroying lives.

Leave no dignity.

No discipline.

Leave no worries.

Never look down.

"Because you didn't, you lost. ”

Because you don't dare to do that, that's why you're kneeling here.

"You don't deserve to be beautiful. ”

I stared at Mai O, who was looking up at me blankly.

"You're just a disgusting pervert. ”

With personal feelings - conviction.

There are still doubts, and there are still things that have not been clarified.

However, the sound of the guillotine's blade falling reached everyone's heart.

In the foyer of the Tower of the Moon, which had returned to silence, I looked at Silver Hime.

"Why do you want to shield him?"

“……”

Bai Yinji's expression was still unreadable under the veil.

However, she finally opened her mouth.

“…… Actually, we were supposed to meet up with Karina tonight and run away together. If Mai O hadn't killed Karina. ”

"So, why bother?"

"Because in her like Mai O. ”

Nothing surprising, fact.

"From Mai Ao's eyes, there is only Sister Tiadella. Similarly, Karina has only one in her eyes. ”

Even if she was killed by Mai O, she would want to help him.

So we decided to shield Mai O. That's all. ”

In other words, he might really be willing to die if he asked for it. ”

Orange muttered as if she had let go of something in her heart.

- The next moment.

She inadvertently looked down at her chest. Then he stared at the green blade that appeared there in surprise and tilted his head.

From the inside of the orange body, the root of the strange plant grows.

---------------

Perspective – Teenager

What should have happened happened happened.

"-Success, success, success!"

The sound of stammering came from the floor behind him.

In just a few minutes, Mai O was as haggard as an old man on the verge of death, with some kind of perfume between his fingers.

“…… Ah, it turns out that it's medicine. ”

Pretty lips muttered in anguish.

The medicine that orange drank to hinder memory should have had other effects. I'm afraid it contains the seeds of some kind of plant that will instantly sprout her body as a seedbed when she smells another medicine mixed into the atmosphere.

"Hahahaha!"

The pharmacist laughed loudly.

"What is a magician in the crown and the crown (Grand)! This kind of thing has no meaning at all! It is only her who is meaningful! Only the end of my dream and that of Izeluma! That's right, Bai Longqing!"

"Mai, Mai Ao ......"

Bai Longqing couldn't keep up with this dizzying situation at all.

Orange, however, readily rejected Miao's words.

"Unfortunately, this is not possible. ”

"What!?"

"Because this guy is awake. ”

A strange sound sounded.

It is not the same as the air vibrating sound that vibrates the tympanic membrane.

That's more essential—the friction of aliens that can't exist in this dimension. It's the friction sound that our souls seem to have heard directly.

Enolai's expression changed.

"Oranges. Are you—"

"Haha, worthy of a teacher. ”

With the smile of the orange, the strange voice that no one had heard before became even more harsh.

No, Grey and I have heard of it, to be exact.

"I've been attacked before, so I've done some reflection. It's in here now. - By the way, you don't have to worry. It's set to only fight back. So as long as you don't make a move, you shouldn't attack anyone other than the perpetrator (Mai O). But, of course, you won't sit idly by - after all, you're the only one here [for the murderer]. ”

“…… If you know, you don't have to say it, Ozaki Orange. ”

"Hahaha! Then I wish you good luck, young man. ”

Smack, Orange's belly shattered. It wasn't clothes or flesh and bones, but it was peeled away like the material of a statue—the wound that had been cracked there was some kind of "door".

Darkness of darkness.

There is no end or even distance, infernal hell.

It's like a rule in horror movies of yesteryear.

Won't speak.

No one knows what it really is.

And most importantly...... Immortal.

At the bottom of the darkness, where no magic can reach, there are two rays of light shining.

- I saw it then, two eyes.

“——！”

A mournful unsyllable sound came from Bai Longqing's throat. Orange's body crumbled, and a black shadow stretched out of it with swift momentum.

Thorny tentacles and ominous hooks bind the medicine man who hurt his master.

"Maio!"

"Hmm...... Uh......"

In response to Regina's shouts, Mai Ao could only respond with a small moan.

He seems to have died. In the blink of an eye, the bound body was dragged into the "door" of Aozaki orange, chewed by thousands of sharp teeth.

Ahh Unable to react in any way.

It's simply impossible.

In a sense, it can be compared to the short-lived golden Ji - the existence of the opposite monster is enough to crush the soul of a person. Even if it is only the size of a fingertip, the emotion is completely smeared with fear.

It's over. It's over.

Whether it's an event or anything, it's over.

- Smack.

It's the breaking sound of the cup I threw at my tentacles.

The tentacles stopped, and even the sharp teeth stopped chewing.

Everyone looked at me in almost amazement.

"—Come on. ”

Dragging the most broken body so far, I was undoubtedly the "weakest" in the crowd, and I said the most handsome lines to that thing.

"I'm right here. ”

555 - "Axel-Form"

The body moved. With a thousand-fold acceleration, even such a body now can move at Mach speeds.

The time is only ten seconds. But enough is enough.

"Oo——!!!oo

Shortened the distance in an instant, and used all the strength he had left, along with his own arm, to shatter the tentacles.

"Give me—come here, a!!a

The body was crumbling, but thankfully the other arm was held up to the end. Mai O, who was pulled back, had no problems other than a dislocated shoulder and a bloody leg with blurred flesh.

Seven seconds to go.

I turned to look at the box.

The light, which was originally only two points, gradually increased.

A lot of saliva was flowing, and a large mouth of blood bigger than my body was coming into my field of vision.

It seems that the blow just now has aroused its interest, and it has given up the fun and is ready to get serious.

(That's not going to work...... ）

But there were only five seconds left. Even if you knock that one back for a while, with that immortality, it will quickly strike again.

What to do, everyone will die if this continues.

At this time, a huge object appeared next to Aozaki Orange.

(-That's the one with Aozaki orange...... She's holding it-)

The box-shaped leather bag I used to meet the monster for the first time.

Why is this here? But that box was undoubtedly the key to victory.

"A limited function-type magic costume that connects [that side and this side]. 』

When I confronted Aozaki Orange, I had already seen through the true face of this leather bag.

What happens if you power up your purse in that box?

What happens when you open another exit inside the exit?

"Please be sure to give me the perfect answer. ”

I kicked hard at my bag.

The purse, which had been accelerated, fell like a meteor towards the inside of the Dark Box.

In the last three seconds, I used my last skill.

"[Open Sesame]"

The purse was opened.

Something squirted out.

Maybe it's the scream. Contrary to when it had been spitting out thorns, the space that had turned into nothingness began to gnaw at the objects around it.

Simply, the feeling of being gradually devoured.

Chandeliers, fans, even the spiral staircase were swallowed in.

Will everything. Bottomless. Greed. Strong desire. Arrogant. Sensuality. Urgently. Cruel.

It's as if everything is just a dream. It's as if roaring that if swallowed up by the maw of hell's karmic fire, everything will become as if it never existed.

- I just lost consciousness.
