Chapter 137: Enlightenment and Liberation
Looking at Sherazade, who was already out of breath in front of her, Luciola realized that she had never felt so happy since the day she joined the association.
I am happy that the little girl who used to rely on herself, who was always nervous and always nervous, has now grown into an independent and strong woman who can take charge of herself—and I also feel a sense of calm relief that I, a sinner who has committed an unforgivable crime, can finally let go of the last vestige of my life and quietly accept the sanction of death.
Syllable! He drove Shikigami's right wrist and was whipped firmly. It hurts dramatically, but Luciola doesn't scream for birth, but instead smiles with relief...... Sheila, the child, finally ...... We've come to this point.
"How, how!" Sherazadeh panted, at this moment she had long exceeded the limit of her physical strength, and only maintained her trembling legs with her amazing will, "Sister, I won." ”
"Huh...... Didn't you expect Sheila to have grown to this point? Luciola nodded approvingly, "Now that you're done, go ahead and make peace with your companions." ”
"What about you, sister?" Sherazade's face was complicated - on the one hand, he deeply regretted that this person who was once close, not only like mother and daughter, but also like sisters, and deep down, had to admit that he could understand Luciola's decision - in the battle just now, Luciola had already told everything and everything.
It turned out that my sister's feelings for the head of the regiment were ...... It's different from us.
"When I killed Harvey, I realized the darkness that was hiding deep within me. Later, under the guidance of this darkness, I accepted the invitation of the "Body Eater Serpent". Luciola's face showed a miserable smile, which made Shelazade's heart alarmed—"Before I knew it, I had come to this point." Now...... Hehe, it's time to leave. ”
Luciola said as she slowly retreated towards the edge of the platform. In an instant, Shelazard understood what she wanted to do—
"Don't!" Seeing that Luciola's body had gradually slid towards the bottom of the edge of the platform, Sherazade shouted uncontrollably. She didn't have time to think about it, and shook the long whip in her hand—the tiredness and exertion of the previous seemed to have been thrown out of the clouds. She burst out with amazing strength from top to bottom, holding the handle of the whip so hard that it would not be wrapped around Luciola's wrist, and following her sister, who was still in love with her sister who was now a human being, died of incense.
"Huh...... Your whip is really handy now. Luciola quietly looked at Shelazard's anxious expression and smiled kindly: "Remember that at the beginning, you often accidentally hurt yourself......
"Sister, don't speak, don't move, wait for me to pull you up......" Shelazard put her body on the ground and pulled back with all her strength—Luciola's body was pulled back little by little.
"Shelazadeh...... To this day, I have never regretted what I did to that man. I know that everyone in the troupe has a skill, and even if they leave the troupe, they can live well. The only thing I'm worried about is you...... Let you, who were still young at that time, start to wander alone in the world from then on, I can't bear it, and I feel uneasy. Fortunately, the "Juggernaut" took you in, and now I see that you can live so decently and strongly even without me, and you have found your own home spiritually...... I'm relieved. With that, Luciola slowly pulled a dagger out of her clothes with her untied hand.
"Sister, I beg you to ......" Seeing Luciola's movements, how could Sherazade not know what she was going to do? I was eager to increase my strength, but because of the excessive force, my eyes went black, and the whip that had already been pulled up for most of it slid down a few inches.
"It was in order to be able to confirm this that I accepted the invitation of the professor to come to Liber...... I've always wanted to punish my selfishness through your hands...... Hehe...... I'm sorry, Sherazade. As if muttering to herself, but in fact it smelled of sadness, and Luciola's dagger was raised high.
"No...... Sister, don't say it, hold on to the whip, hold on to the whip......"
"Ah, by the way, one last thing...... You can drink alcohol, but you have to remember to do it in moderation...... All right, then, farewell, my Sherazade......" With the last words, Luciola waved her dagger simply and decisively—accompanied by the long whip that had been severed, and with a relieved smile, her body drifted downward like a willow leaf......
"I'm sorry......" The last thing she saw was Shira's panicked and desperate eyes before she closed her eyes in resignation, "I know it's cruel to you...... However, Sheila ...... I ......"
In what may have been the last ten seconds of her life, Luciola's mind flashed with the gentle and kind smile of Captain Harvey.
"Commander...... I'm coming for you. ”
————————————————————————
Luciola had never experienced the sensation of death, and it was difficult to simulate what it was like to be suffering even with the most subtle illusions.
But perhaps people are wrong...... Death is actually a comfortable thing, maybe it's okay? Otherwise, now, how could this body that should have fallen to a bloody and broken body a long time ago not feel a little pain?
The noise that resounded in my ears because of the high-speed fall stopped. After a short silence, I opened my eyes and saw an unexpected scene.
“…… Bloblan, what do you mean by that? Luciola lowered her voice and stared at her fellow executor.
"Huh...... It's nothing. Although withering is also a kind of beauty...... But as the "Bell of Illusion", you are originally a unique beauty in this world...... Am I right, my good opponent? ”
"Indeed...... Miss Luciola is beautiful beyond words. Olivier nodded approvingly, "What do you say, Agaté?" ”
"What the hell?" Agaté was confused, he hadn't figured out what was going on......
"You two...... Really. What else could Luciola say about that? She shook her head with a wry smile and sat up from the ground, looking at the towering "Central Tower" and the clear sky with a thoughtful expression.
"If there's anything to do, let's think about it when we get back to the association." Blubran's voice interrupted Luciola's thoughts, "If you really figured it out...... I promise, I will never reach out again to stop me. With that, Bloblan bowed deeply to Olivier and Agaté, who comically returned the ——,, and the two executors disappeared into a rosy halo.
"Wait...... Shouldn't this woman be in the upper echelons...... Did she just want to die? Agaté figured out what had happened, "But—"
"Let's wait until we see Shela-kun...... Olivier said, his voice looking eager.
“…… Good. Agaté nodded.
