I just don't know why, but that smile felt a little bit fake.

Really a little ......, somewhat (...) fake (・・・・).

'Yeah, I have a pretty good idea of what's going on with the dead Hein. So, why was the living Heili in the labyrinth?　I knew it was Palinkron's order.　Then I'd like you to betray me immediately.

'No, the search for the labyrinth is my own choice. I wasn't trying to fulfill Hein's wish, I was trying to fulfill my wish as Hailey.

'Hoho. I see you have a new wish.

I am now Hyli the Explorer. After being abandoned by Palinkron, I decided to live for my new friend. So now I'm going to the depths of the labyrinth, which is my friend's goal.

'Hmm, but it wasn't like I was going for the deepest part. As far as I can tell--

''--Hmm. I knew that, but I still can't hide anything from Rustyala Fuzzyards. I'm only a student of that Hein Helvirshine. As you can see, my remaining selfishness is not 'being for my friends' but 'scattering my life for my friends'. That's the only thing that makes my life worth living now. It's very romantic, isn't it?

Wow ......, this is another one of those diseases that sounds a lot like Hein: ......

'I won't deny the resemblance. But this is a sure wish that I chose as Hyli, not Hine.

From their calm conversation, I'm beginning to understand the general situation.

When the conversation has died down, I check it out.

'That's why you behaved like that, isn't it? You - um, Heili,

'Yes, I lose and lose my life to the boy and girl I remember, the boy and girl of my dreams. And afterwards, the boy and girl realize the truth about me, and although they are sad, they overcome their grief and grow up. It's really a story just the way I like it. That kind of death, well, it's a fair point.

Hailey, the 'Magic Stone Human (Jewelculus)' who has the memory of Mr. Hein, commented on her death in a light tone.

However, I felt a slight irritation at the appropriate expression ”a passing grade”.

It's a story of life and death that you only live and die once in your life, but it feels like someone else's business. I can't feel any seriousness in life from Heili.

Since arriving in the other world, I've been involved in several human deaths.

The three guardians (guardians) were all struggling to live. And after fighting for something more important than life, they disappeared from this world. That's why Hailey's lightness to death stands out.

I interrupt Hailey, who is trying to compromise without resisting.

'I know your life expectancy is short. But that's why I think you should make more of an effort to stay alive. ......

'No, I think it's because it's short that we should decide how to die early. Yes, unfortunately, it's a short life, and we must decide everything early.

With his eyes downcast, Heili is saddened by the fragility of his life. At first glance, she looks heartbroken, but if you observe her closely, you can see that her mouth is twisted.

'I'm sorry ...... but to me it looks like you're drunk on your own tragedy. You've found a carefree ending, so maybe you're not thinking about it, but you're just flipping out there.

Harsh words leaked out, surprising even myself.

However, his observations, sharpened by a wealth of skills, would find one disagreeable factor after another. The frustration wouldn't let up.

Hailey realizes that she's been able to see right through her inner thoughts, and she no longer tries to hide the contortions in her mouth.

'...... Hmmm, hmmm. Yeah, maybe it is. Still, I have to jump at it. I'd rather die drunk anyway. I want to die out in a glamorous play, like a great actor shining on the stage. And when I was fighting you, I was able to be so intoxicated. After all, it's not a bad situation to be killed by the people you love. Well, regrettably, I didn't die.

Heili says, sounding like a director. She is troubled, but at the same time she seems to be enjoying herself.

From this appearance, I begin to grasp the humanity of the girl named Heili. And I begin to understand that Heili and Mr. Hein are different people.

In other words, the reason why Hailey doesn't fight now is because it's not exciting.

It's fine if it's after a fatal encounter in the labyrinth, but it doesn't feel good to fight next to a group of girls playing at the beach. It's such an appropriate reason.

So, she's lost her motivation and teased - and just insisted on being killed by me.

I'm convinced that her sloppy attitude is the cause of my frustration. She can still afford to choose the time and place, but all she can think about is dying easily. It's almost as if she's insulting those who have disappeared because they couldn't choose the time and place.

Haili is similar (・・・・・・・・). But at least my respected guardian (Rowen) and knight (Mr. Hein) would never imitate her.

'I'm sure the boy wouldn't want to make a mistake in dying if he were in the same situation. He would want a beautiful ending rather than a prolonged life that is only a margin of error.

What Heili is saying makes sense.

It's a reasonable story for my taste - but it's somehow false and lacks seriousness.

I can't put it into words, but I feel like there's something wrong with it.

Still, I won't go along with your suicide. I think you should think better of it.

Mu......

Because if you're not Mr. Hine, you're just a newborn baby.

Yes, not even a month old: ......

I admitted that she was not Ms. Hein. On the contrary, I decided that she was a baby, Hailey, who was younger than the Reapers and Rustyala.

The thought of that made me feel a little less irritated.

''Then you should get a little more experience before you decide what's important to you. Life is far too short to be less than a month. You have to live desperately until the very last minute, and worry about it until the very last minute - if you still want me to kill you, then I'll be there to deal with you. ...... So why don't you take your life a little more seriously ......?

I calmly decide where to drop it.

No more anger like I did earlier. If the words came from the mouth of a baby and not from Mr. Hein's mouth, I felt I could forgive him a bit.

Haili is suspicious of my sudden calm and shakes me up.

'...... But what if the deepest miracle of the month is sidelined by me?　I crossed 30 layers in just a few days. It's not impossible. I'm sure I won't share the miracle with the boy unless I'm killed. Will you kill him then and take it from him?

In a painful way, Heili hints at killing me.

But the words come out of my mouth in a strange and spare way.

'I can't be that embarrassed. I'll have to negotiate with you then, or find another way. I'm not going to give up until the end, even if I lose the labyrinth search. ...... Well, the premise is that I don't feel like losing in the labyrinth search.

It would have been hard to say that when I visited another world.

Maybe the many trials and tribulations of the past few weeks have given me some breathing room.

'You've changed, you're a little different from the boy I remember. I thought he was less spacious and more childlike. ......

A lot of things happened after that, and I've grown up in my own way, so ......

Growth? Really? Hmmm, that's encouraging: ......

Heili laughs elegantly.

It's a strange feeling. I know by reason that a girl is like a baby. But she also seems to be watching me grow up with the dignity of an adult.

I thought it was distorted.

It resembles the unstable Rustyala when I met her. If you are born as a 'Jewelcrus', you may not be able to escape from that distortion.

''It can't be helped. It's hard to kill each other anymore if we're having such a cheerful conversation. For now, let's just drink the boy's idea. It would be unseemly for me to cause you guys a lot of trouble by being complacent.

For now, he seems to stop trying to kill himself against me. But that doesn't seem to mean that she accepts everything I have to say.

Even now, Heili will try to die at any moment. The feeling of danger is still with her.

”You and I are rivals for the deepest part of our lives. Let's not kill each other. Let's do it. --I don't think we should take it any further.

Hailey looked sad as her hopes were blocked from developing.

And then she muttered very vainly. As if she knew it was an impossible future, but she dared to say it out loud--

Maybe we'll stay on (・・・・) - because we might be lucky enough to be able to do that.

Heili said as he looked at me.

She said this, not to Heili herself, but definitely to me.

'There's still time to go to ....... You're right, I'm going to take my life more seriously and look for a better solution. Maybe I've been cutting too much slack.

I have a short lifespan, but maybe I can continue to live like this. I understand if that's what you think, Heili.

But I don't know what she means by ”as is” to me.

As I consider Heili's words, she reaches out her hand into the air. She lets her hand gouge out into the empty space, and the tip of her hand disappears. And after some groping, she took out a ring from inside.

--The ring of the magic stone ”Gate”.

The ring that bears the power of the gate.

Take out an item from your 'possessions' and pass the magic power through it.

''Well then, I'd better get going. It's not cool to keep being nursed at your rival's place.

With a wry smile, Heili shows his intention to go home.

There's no reason for me to stop. I've said what needs to be said and decided what needs to be decided. That seems to be the case with the neighboring Rustyala as well.

If I question Hailey any further, I won't get any new information. Given her personality, she wouldn't tell them any information she wasn't willing to give them, even if she was dead.

Most importantly, even the information is vague due to the fact that Haili Weisprope is so vague. Frankly, I doubt she really has the right information.

Newborn Haili seems to believe the information Palinkron has given her, but it's impossible for us to believe it.

It's more meaningful to keep the uncertainty that is Heili away from us than to keep him around any longer and add more ambiguous information.

I decide that and wave my hand.

'Hailey, take care of yourself: ......'

'Thank you, boy.' -- ”Connections

As I see her off, Hailey uses what little magic she has to shatter the ring. Then, she creates a magical gate with a flowing magical construction.

This is what I expected when I was able to use the power of ”Dimension” and ”Possessions”. If you look closely at that wide thirty layers, you may find Hailey's ”Connection”.

If you look closely at that 'connection', there are a few things that are different from mine. The color of the magic gate is emerald green. I thought all of the ”Connections” were light purple, but maybe it depends on the quality of the individual's magic power.

Haili quietly thanks us and puts her hand on the ”Connection”.

And then, just like that, she tried to open the door.

”Mmm, mmm?　It's funny: ......

--the door did not open.

Maybe the pair of doors aren't working. I'm trying to get closer to tell that to Heili.

But before I can get close enough to her, the door opens with a loud bang.

And a new girl appears from the open end.

She was a small girl. Compared to Hailey, she was one head smaller. However, with her small body, she radiates nearly ten times the life energy of Heili. The impression I had at first glance was that she was a flower of the sun - as bright as a sunflower.

''Hey, we're finally connected!　Thank God!

The girl's long chestnut-colored hair was parted into two buns. She shakes the tufts of her hair and shouts as she changes her expression to a richer one.

Then the girl looks at Hailey and sees a look of relief on her face. But it's soon lost. She takes stock of her surroundings and starts tilting her head in wonder at us.

'What?　What is this place?　What, who?

Her suspicious behavior looks like a baby squirrel on alert.

Heili puts his hand on the girl's head and sighs. As it is, she holds the scurrying girl down and makes her stand upright.

'-- This girl is already ....... It can't be helped, let me introduce you.

Even with the unexpected turn of events, Heili was calm.

Then, with a smirk and a twist of her mouth, she announced the name of the girl who looked like a sunflower.

''I'm the leader of my party (・・・・・・・), Shea Legacy (・・・・・). You'll recognize me by my name, I'm Palinkron's niece.

As soon as I understood, my chest tightened in pain.

The name - or rather, the 'blood' - was enough to make my heart flutter.
