It was a dark and chaotic world, and Roland stood on the dim and dull water.

Centered on the place where he stood, waves of water spread out in circles.

But if you look closely, you can see that the water wave is blocked in front of Roland. It was as if there was an invisible and huge mirror slicing the whole world in half horizontally behind Roland.

Roland's body trembled as he faced his own mirror.

Tears slid down the corners of his eyes and dripped down his cheeks and chin to the water.

Tick-tock-

The crisp sound of water sounded.

"Yes...... You? ”

Roland's whole body trembled, and even his voice choked.

He gasped violently, his eyes full of hope.

He stretched out his hand, carefully touching the mirror image in front of him with a very light motion. It's like stroking a soap bubble.

Obviously, it was only less than half a meter, but Roland took half a minute.

Finally, while touching the tip of the mirror's right finger, the touch of touching the mirror surface is transmitted to Roland's heart through the skin of the fingertip.

But Roland seemed to have received some kind of affirmation, and the whole person was completely excited.

With a bang, Roland took two steps forward, stepped on the water and picked up the black waves.

But at the moment, Roland couldn't care about that.

First the right hand, then the left hand. As both hands touched the solid mirror, Roland leaned over and pressed his forehead tightly against the mirror.

"Sister! Sister! Is that you! Sister! ”

Like a lost child who has found his parents again, Roland kept checking the touch of the mirror with his hand and shouted hurriedly.

In that moment. Roland's whole person seemed to be ten years younger in an instant.

At this moment, "Roland" on the other side of the mirror showed a gentle smile that was completely different from Roland.

It was a smile that melted people's hearts without any malice.

Just that smile. It seems to be able to light up the whole world.

And that's exactly what happened.

At that moment, an almost brilliant light flashed behind "Roland". The world in the mirror is completely illuminated in an instant.

No. Now, it's no longer a mirror. It is said that the boundary between the two worlds is about the same.

With the light from there, Roland could also see the situation on his side.

Not on the water, to be precise.

Beneath the thin surface of the water on which I tread, there is an invisible layer of ice - or glass. And beneath that thin, transparent barrier is an abyss with no end in sight.

Other than that, Roland's side is complete nothingness.

On the other hand, it's the exact opposite.

The bright and warm sun shone on the ground. The tender green meadows were full of unknown plants, and the air was filled with fragrances. The person who looked almost exactly like Roland gently stroked Roland's forehead through the barrier.

The reason why she looks almost exactly the same is because she has subtle differences from Roland in terms of hair color, eye color and dress.

Sister Roland's hair is long, well-groomed milky white. Even at the back of the head, the part grows almost to the ankle. Her pupils were clear icy color, and she wore an ivory robe with a lot of silver ornaments, a silver corset that emphasized the curves of her body, and a slightly bulging chest. The ministry was completely encased in a silver robe.

Her snow-white skin, her ivory-white robes, her silver ornaments, and her long, milky white hair—she almost shone brightly as she looked. It was a level of dazzle that could barely make out her face.

On the other side, Roland's long black hair was not waist-length and was simply tied up. His pupils were flowing silvery-white, and the black-gray robe with a cobweb-like texture firmly covered all parts of Roland's neck down.

Look. It's like the gap between heaven and hell.

“…… Sister, are you there? Can you hear me? ”

Roland shouted loudly in a childlike voice as he slammed his forehead against the invisible wall.

"Alright, alright. Don't be willful...... My sister can hear it. ”

It is completely different from Roland's clear, cold, and somewhat hoarse voice.

"Roland, time is running out. You have to remember not to hurt yourself. Also, be sure to leave yourself a way back. Leave a way for others to live......"

A warm and soft voice came from the other side.

At the same time as he heard that voice, Roland's whole person seemed to lose his strength. Slipped to the ground against the invisible wall and knelt in the icy water.

And the opposite. "She" suddenly stopped preaching and smiled helplessly.

She bent over, her right hand touching Roland's forehead lightly through the invisible barrier.

Then, she said: "My sister is ......"

“…… Rest assured, Alain. You're not alone. ”

――――――

Roland opened his eyes suddenly.

But what catches your eye is the endless darkness and the self that is firmly bound to the ground.

“…… Is it, a dream? ”

Roland's expression of joy gradually froze on his face.

However, there is still a part of that warmth in Roland's heart.

Roland gripped his right hand slightly. Five fingers trembled for a moment.

Although I hadn't touched it just now, it seemed that the warmth had been transmitted through the barrier of nothingness.

Just thinking back to the warmth of that moment, Roland showed a shallow smile.

"Sister......

He whispered, in a voice that only he could hear.

"Your Excellency Roland, you're crying."

At this moment, "Edward" on the side sent out a greeting that seemed to be concerned: "Oops...... Is soul mutation such a painful process? It's a pity that I'm not a mortal and can't understand it. ”

"It's not so much pain as happiness."

Roland shook his head and replied flatly: "If I can, I really don't want to wake up." ”

But at this time, there was a flash of surprise on "Edward's" face.

He had no doubt that if it was Roland before, he would not have responded to his ridicule so seriously.

…… Does the soul mutation have such a big impact on people's personalities?

That's not right...... Obviously, it is only when the soul is sublimated that the essence of the mutation will occur.

Maybe it's because I'm in a bad mood before.

"Edward" finally came to such a conclusion.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally spoke: "So, Your Excellency Roland, can our transaction begin?" ”

A long delay means many hitches.

Roland's change seemed to be very big...... "Edward" was inexplicably a little weak in his heart.

"Wait for me for two minutes."

Roland replied casually as he turned on the system.

In an instant, the battle tips that had been stored for a long time poured out.

The Pale Silver Seal? The flag of the queen in white......

And it's awakening...... Not to get ......

Everything is already clear.

At that moment, there seemed to be a light flashing in Roland's eyes.

He barely noticed anything else.

There is only one thing he knows and values.

That's-

"Sister...... I've finally found you. (To be continued.) )
