As the Flame Butterfly turned into a Flame Butterfly and flew back to Evas's shoulder, the glow in Diomedes' pupils gradually dissipated.

The dimly lit room was bright again, and the afternoon sun poured through the glass windows into the Queen's bedroom.

"Brother...... No, brother. ”

The Flame Butterfly deliberately adopted a different name from Yulia, and the lazy and gentle voice, like a soft whisper in his ear before going to bed, sounded in the heart of Ivus: "I remember, you gave the Daredevil a name......

"That was her own name......

Ivas was a little helpless.

"I used to have a name."

Flame Butterfly was resolute: "It's called Yulia Moriarty. ”

Hearing this, Ivus understood what she was thinking.

Little Butterfly thinks that Evas's affection for her comes from empathy for Yulia...... Or rather, she already knew it wasn't, but still wanted a proof.

Ivas could have had the patience to explain to her what he thought of her, but she wouldn't be happy.

"I'll give you a gift......

Ivas made up his mind: "As a blessing in the moment of rebirth." ”

He could feel that Little Butterfly was unusually satisfied with killing Drost. She even disregarded her own image and forgot to give Ivus two punches...... It wasn't until she completely destroyed Trost that she finally calmed down.

For her, it was a moment of new life to celebrate and remember.

…… After all, I didn't give the little butterfly an official name, and it was indeed a little unreasonable. Before, Little Butterfly didn't have a complete personality, and even had a hard time speaking. But now that her mind and intellect are no different from those of ordinary people, she must be respected.

But......

"For the record, I really don't know how to name ......"

Ivus pondered for a moment, then suddenly spoke, "Do you remember, I like to call Yulia something?" ”

"Yuri," Flame Butterfly replied immediately, "I remember the nickname. I could hear it then, too. ”

"Then I...... Is it okay to call you Leah? ”

Ivus explained, "Like Yuri, as the other half of Yulia's being...... You are not her shadow, nor are you a remnant of her. Since I once had feelings for Yulia, both of you can clearly perceive them; You can hear and feel everything I say and do, which means that Yulia I know also has a share of yours. ”

In Aihuas's perception, this is roughly where the Flame Butterfly's hostility towards Yulia comes from.

There is a high probability that she is not a reincarnated illusion, but a "new species", or "first" illusion.

In other words, the beginning of her life was when she awakened from Yulia's body. Yulia has no relatives, and the first person she comes into contact with is Aihuas.

If Eivas is Yulia's older brother...... So for the Flame Butterfly, who already has no parents, Ivus is closer to her parents.

However, Ivas did not know that she was conscious and could perceive the outside world. Every time Flame Butterfly loses control of her emotions and causes Yuria's phantom power to rise and cause her to have a fever, Ivas thinks she is a "villain", a "germ", and a "curse" when she is by Yuria's side.

It is because of her presence that Yulia suffers. And Ivus is concerned about Yulia's suffering, which means judging her crimes.

If she tries to take Yulia's identity, or snatch control of her body, pretending to be Yulia with Ehuas, perhaps the brand of sin she can get will be "jealousy".

But she didn't.

When she realizes that Evas's love is for Yulia, she sadly chooses to seal herself.

Compared to the "medicine that put the phantom to sleep" that her adoptive father got, the passive will of the Flame Butterfly itself may be the main reason why Yulia has survived until now.

After all, she was born a high-level illusion. Even if that medicine can suppress the phantom egg, I am afraid it may not be able to suppress the high-level phantom with a strong desire to break free.

"It's because you don't want me to grieve over Yulia's death, and you don't want me to change from a relative to an enemy...... That's why you choose to stay as it is. ”

I knew what I could do, but I chose to wait and see.

Maybe he could have taken some risks to make things better, but in the end he chose to do nothing.

Indulging in gentleness, he forgot and even abandoned his natural mission - to take away the life force of the host, fully developed and burst out of the abdomen.

That's why she bears the grave sin of laziness.

— until you find that your procrastination has made everything irretrievable. Yulia dies, loses control of herself, and nearly kills Ehuath. It was only after receiving the memories of the Flame Butterfly on another world line that she realized how happy she was.

It was because of this that her emotions spiraled out of control.

That's why.

"I'll name you Leah. You are also a part of Yulia I know, another being equal to Yuli. It is the same who loves me and is loved by me...... Close relatives. ”

Ivas said this, and suddenly paused. There was a touch in my heart.

He was silent for a moment, then replied, "I'm sorry, I won't let you use the self-destruct again." ”

It was only when he realized the Flame Butterfly, or Leah's strong feelings for him, that he finally realized what he had done before.

Maybe it's because when she sealed the Flame Butterfly, she used Yuria's form to call out to herself for her brother and ask Ivus to spare her...... This made Ivus feel strongly averse to being deceived. Because for Evas, who didn't know all this at the time, she was the culprit who caused Yulia pain, and she was using Yuria's image to prevent herself from saving Yulia.

Since then, although Ivas has not continued to be hostile to her, he has somewhat regarded her as a tool or a weapon.

…… It could also be that Shadow Fiend will always talk to him, and the Flame Butterfly, which is not fully developed, is not good at words. Compared to the Flame Butterfly, who had been sealed as a great beast, Ivus believed in Shadow Fiend more.

Now that the Flame Butterfly is out of control, it has only made Ivus truly understand her feelings. I also realized my mistake.

Flamebutterfly does have the ability to self-destruct, and she certainly doesn't feel pain because of it.

But "self-detonation" is the core embodiment of the way of dedication - giving oneself for others. As the boss, Flame Butterfly will have this skill, which shows her inner pain and self-destructive desire.

…… What have I done?

Thinking of this, Ivas was still a little depressed.

But at this moment, the flame butterfly flew in front of Aihuas's eyes.

It fluttered gently around Ivace's face, warm butterfly wings flapping against Ivace's face. It was as if he was touching his cheek with his hand.

"I love the name Leah."

The languid, gentle voice rang out in Ivus's heart, with joy and a faint echo in his words: "But it is too similar to Yuri...... In order to distinguish myself from her, I asked for a change of ...... to my brother Or the name of the owner. May I? ”

"Absolutely. Call me whatever you want, or call me Ehuas. You can call me brother, call me brother, whatever. ”

Ivus relieved himself a little and chuckled, "I can also learn from that Sherlock guy to call me a fox, or anything like that." Or...... If you don't think we're that close yet, you can call me Moriarty. ”

Anyway, as long as it's not the last, it's okay.

Ivas thought.

If Flame Butterfly had called him "Mr. Moriarty", he would probably have been a little hurt.

However, Leah's words were completely beyond Ivus's expectations-

"I want to call you Mom, because you are as gentle as Mommy...... Grow with me. ”

“…… Is it okay for Dad? ”

Aihuas's expression was a little strange: "Of course...... Mom can do it too. ”

"Yes, too."

Leah's bone-tingling, languid voice whispered in her ear, "So, Dad......

"—First meeting."
