The Unimaginable Number of Wishes

「Weena Rhyn, if it’s the current you now, you should be able to defeat that great magic beast that has been incompletely resurrected」

「I won’t do that!」

「No matter how many times it is sealed, there is no telling when someone will plan to resurrect it like this time. It must be defeated here and now」

「I won’t!」

Just like a child, Weena Rhyn covered her face with her hands and shook her head in disapproval. Seeing her like that, Rhyn seemed to have decided to change her approach

「I, too, want to be liberated… I’m tired of being sealed at the bottom of that dark lake」

「No! I said I won’t!」

「Weena Rhyn…」

「Why would you say something like that!?… I’ve been trying so hard for us to be together again, as Weena, and Rhyn!」

Weena Rhyn, who was now acting as if she had become a child, screamed with lots of tears streaming down her face. Well, maybe meeting with Rhyn, her twin sister, had returned her emotions to those of a child.

「I don’t care about the people of this country! I don’t care what happens to them! I just want to get you back!」

「That’s not possible」

「Don’t say it’s not possible! I’ve been preparing for the day when I can separate Rhyn from that magic beast! I’ve also opened the Academy, which is one of Rhyn’s dreams! I’ve also set up an environment to make it easy for spirits to move around the academy in case you’re still in your spirit form! I’m even donating to an orphanage like Rhyn used to do, and protected the country to get them to recognize Rhyn!」

Fran backed away slightly at her cry, which even showed a glimpse of madness. Her tail was wagging from side to side and her ears flattened. It seemed that she was under a lot of pressure.

「Weena Rhyn…」

Rhyn’s face contorted in sadness. I guess it couldn’t be helped.

As far as I could tell, Weena Rhyn had dedicated her life to Rhyn. Everything she had done was for Rhyn. It might not be an exaggeration to say that even the kindness she had shown to others was for Rhyn’s sake.

But the one Rhyn said she wanted to be liberated from was actually Weena Rhyn.

「I just… want to be together with Rhyn again…」

「If you only separated me from that great magic beast, it would only regain its full strength. If that happens, it could even destroy the whole world」

「Like I care! I don’t want a world without you in it…」

This was bad. I could see Weena Rhyn’s expression getting more and more negative, it was already as if she was talking without thinking at all. No, her suppressed emotions might have made her lose her self-control already.

「Separate her…? Maybe I can still do it now…? If I use the Sacrament of the Evil God, I might be able to rip off the power of the Evil God…? Can I bring Rhyn back with that…? I don’t care what would happen to the world…」

Weena Rhyn’s thoughts seemed to have been overwhelmed by negativity.

Seeing her like that, Rhyn’s shoulders slumped sadly.

「Actually, I wished for Weena Rhyn to defeat the great magic beast without using the Sacrament of the Evil God…」

「…!」

Responding sensitively to Rhyn’s murmur, Weena Rhyn shook her head multiple times, biting her lip so hard that it even bled.

「For now, let’s start with the biggest problem, shall we?」

「The biggest problem?」

Fran muttered puzzled. There were too many problems, to begin with, and I was not even sure which one Rhyn was talking about.

「Do you know that we could use the Sacrament of the Evil God in many ways? Whether it’s used to defeat or seal that great magic beast」

「But…」

「Do you really think we have to sacrifice Romio or Zelos Reed to achieve that?」
