However, even if she clearly said she was an ally, it didn't sound like she wasn't an enemy.

At any rate, it was obvious that this situation was only possible with Kanami's cooperation.

The sight of Kanami slowly crawling across the unsteady floor and heading towards Glenn while 'drunk' was truly eerie.

She was moving as slow as a snail, but Serdra couldn't call it off.

However, Glenn's side was calm and dropped the Sith magic stone - before Kanami could get close to him.

'Kanami, you're over there. ...... Fafner is waiting for you.

The place I dropped it was on the other side of the fence.

Just as I was clinging to the fence, I was able to see the poor magical stone being swallowed up by the raging red sea.

Kanami seemed to confirm this as well, and turned his face back a bit to say goodbye.

'...... Now, I have to go save the Sith. Of course, I want to help Fafner beyond that, too. So, I'd like to ask Seldra to secure the magic stone for The One Who Steals Blood's Reason, if possible.

'Me? ......?　is absolutely impossible to secure, let alone destroy!　Incapacitation through ”discussion” would be a story with ”Distance Mute”: ......!

No, Serdra. You, of all people, will convince Glen Walker, the agent of the The One Who Stole the Blood, to do it. -- alone and without the help of anyone else. If you succeed, your name will be remembered for another thousand years as the hero who holds the last key to save the world. ...... And if I fail, I'll be okay with that. When Mr. Glenn kills you, you'll finally be able to like you, finally.

'Yes, no, no, no, not 'now (...)' is ......

Serdra shakes her body at the unreasonable leader's instructions.

I know that feeling.

The reason I'm trembling is not because I was told in a light tone that I might die.

-- it's simply that I'm afraid I can't communicate with Kanami.

Using the same language, talking the same talk, those dark eyes and Serdra are facing each other.

However, even though their eyes meet, what they see now is too different.

This is the madness of a wizard who overused the past and future vision.

Seldra, who normally lives in the 'present', can't keep up with the story and lets the wobbly Kanami arrive at the deck fence.

It was just between me and Glenn.

There, he pauses and smiles, leaving me to say.

'Just, Glenn, ....... I won't let this be the last time, not so easily. Snow will be waiting for you to return.

When his sister-in-law's name was mentioned, Glenn's expression twisted slightly.

That would definitely be a week point.

However, Kanami didn't poke her any further, she turned her gaze to the blood and chanted a magic.

''--Magic 《Blood》''

It's a blood attribute foundation magic.

However, if someone as powerful as Kanami used it, the effect couldn't possibly be confined to basic magic.

With an earth-shaking roar, the raging sea of blood breaks open.

It wasn't a metaphor or anything, just a single word was muttered and the sea split.

Kounel's ”Safe Zone” was also terrific, but this one had a different dimension.

As if he had chopped wood in the world, the sea of blood that had easily led up to the horizon was split in two, exposing the sunken city of Fania.

Two waterfalls leading up to the horizon.

The storm made it late to notice, but before I knew it, the 'Living Legend' had gone beyond the city's outer walls. It was a proud wall that had become a rat-returning wall, but it didn't seem to mean anything if the ship was passing over it.

Below me, the city where I was born spread out.

Mixed in with it was a distinctly different and massive building.

I don't know what number it was, but I'm sure that was Fania's 'Demonic Research Institute'.

''I'm going to go.''

Kanami jumped over the fence of the ship as if throwing herself over it and jumped down.

She fell right beside the waterfall made of magic 《Blood》 as casually as if she had dropped a pebble. And a few dozen seconds later. As a matter of course, after landing unharmed, like a wavering ghost, she walked towards the nearby ”Magician's Research Institute”.

After finishing watching the Kanami, I turn my attention to Glenn, who was following it with his eyes as well as mine.

Because the interrupter (Kanami) that was in between us has disappeared, our eyes easily meet.

Since it was a good time, there was one last thing I wanted to ask him.

While pointing to the 'Heart of Hermina' on its chest, he confirmed.

'Glenn Walker. The reason you were able to understand my words was because Helmina-sama was there, wasn't it?''

...... Yeah. Not that that's all there is to it, but it's true. Most of her knowledge was passed down to me. Some of that knowledge was about you.

'I see. ....... You'll understand. If the person who came up with my madman's manual was there, it was a no-brainer.'

Now there is not a single question.

That's what Glenn seems to be doing as well, prompting me with a sunny face.

”You'd better get out there. The ship (here) is not safe anymore.

With a gentle voice and eyes, he told me to drop downstairs because upstairs would be a battlefield with no guarantee of life.

Before I could nod back to that, the voice rises.

It was Seldra, who had been forced to do a reckless job and looked away from her boss, Kanami, in a daze.

'Cleaners, wait!　At the very least, you can take Kounell and get off the ship to the limit!　If we can't get Kounell safe, most of my magic will--

”Kukukukukuku ......!

Halfway through, I couldn't hold back and let out a laugh.

Seldora was surprised by my reaction.

What was he surprised about?

I wondered.

You've already confirmed a thousand years ago that I'm useless.

That's why you've been able to do what you want with Fania.

Even if you don't understand the words, you seem to understand that I am now laughing at you.

Serdra was surprised and bewildered, and gradually she understood--.

The way you look, really...

'Kukkuu--, kuhahahahahahahahahahahahaha--!

It was fun.

The 'strongest' man who once wielded the continent is now in a hurry to be swept up by an entity of my size.

Like it or not, I'll try to come back to life in hell.

Many things come to mind, such as the flow of time is cruel, or that the course of life is a succession of prosperity and decline, but I am simply happy now. It's funny, so funny, so funny, so funny, so funny, so funny, so unbearable.

''Ha-ha, ha-ha!　Ahhhh hahahahahahaha!

Serdra heard it loud and clear and seemed to understand.

'Janitor, you ......

Serdra looked away painfully, knowing that I was amused by her.

I'm happy to say that she finally gets my feelings.

But I also feel my heart grow more and more distant.

Just like with Kanami, Seldra decides that she can't have a conversation with me either, and she looks around with a slightly frightened expression on her face.

Kounel remains slumped on the floor.

A rain of blood is pooling on the deck of the ship at an abnormal rate, and if it continues, he will be in danger of drowning. Whatever the case, there's no doubt that Kounel is not a force to be reckoned with.

If you notice, he should have come with the strongest party called the 'Primary Attack Team', but Seldora is alone against the main opponent of 'The One Who Steals Blood's Reason'.

He realizes the fact that he was left behind in every sense of the word and is alone, and shakes his head widely.

''Nah, no!　I'm not alone: ......!

So I roused myself and staggered to my feet.

On the precarious deck, he smiled familiarly at his enemy, Glenn, as if clinging to him.

'Well, there's still a Glenn ....... He's got a really good killing intent. It's like looking at the old me. Glenn, you remember the catharsis of being able to kill me, don't you?　I know exactly what I'm talking about. And I know very well that you must be my affinity. Glen Walker was the one who would seal my existence for posterity!　So I don't miss it one bit!　I'm still not alone as long as I have a heart-to-heart companion called you: ......!

The confusion was so extreme that for some reason he was treating Glenn, who was supposed to be the enemy, as one of us.

And both I and Glenn could tell from his desperate form that he was serious.

Of course, because he's serious, the deputy next to me is furious.

'Oh, you're ......!　It really does get on people's nerves!　Don't insinuate anything more than that!

Looking at the two of them, I wobbled and I was shaken.

Serdra's 'curse' is definitely an 'adaptation' as he said.

It's not only a physical attack or other familiarity, but also a mental one, I suppose.

So maybe he's too used to having killing intent and disgust directed at him to realize that Glenn really hates him.

I think I understand a little bit why Seldra Queen Fillion was called the 'strongest' a thousand years ago.

It's not the tribal strength of a dragonborn (Dragon Newt).

It's not even the physical strength of 'adapting' to any attack.

Perhaps it was his invincible mind, due to his insensitivity, that pushed him to 'strongest' a thousand years ago.

--my heart is swayed to see the rest of this Seldora.

Will it be enough time to watch the conclusion of the above before going downstairs?

I don't think that's going to happen, as far as I'm concerned.

Without a doubt, I can only watch one of them from the sidelines.

I'd like to watch them both from the 'sidelines'.

But I have to choose.

But fortunately, if I ask Kanami to read the parts I missed, after all is said and done, she'll let me read the parts I missed. Make it your specialty, and plenty of it. And most importantly, the bottom line is that it would be more interesting if I went with it.

There was only one choice.

'--Seldra, I'm afraid you're alone. So, goodbye.''

Delayed from Kanami, I also climbed over the fence.

Then, while the waterfall caused by the magic 《Blood》 was still in place, I jumped down towards the city below the ship.

-- A moment later, there was a roar and shock behind me.

It seems that Glenn had refrained from attacking magic until I was gone.

In order to repay that kindness, I vow in my heart that I will definitely make it to the 'Goddess Storage Room'.

With the impact of the magic just now, I was now receiving a tailwind from my back.

The feeling of floating continues. Although it would be a fall from a considerable height, the landing could be endured by the strong body of the 'blood doll'.

So what he should be thinking about now would not be worrying about his own body, but about Fafner.

A theologian boy waiting for the 'Great Messiah' (Magna Messiah) in the modern world after the worst ending a thousand years ago.

That Fafner has decided to do something about it, and has let go of The One Who Steals the Truth of Blood and left it in the hands of Glenn.

However, I feel that he is still waiting for him, surely looking the same as he did a thousand years ago.

With the same longing all along.

Trapped in the same hell for a long time.

Waiting for the same savior for a long time.

And when I get out of there once, when I want to go back...

What will we see on their faces?

How would they react?

What would they say?

That was my pleasure.
