Chapter 165 (2/2)

「To fall down at a time like this…I can’t take it. An opponent that can turn master’s power into something powerless, I have to hurry, or…」

「Kaito-sama will…disappear… I can’t find him inside me. Hurry, I have to hurry to see him!」

Again, there was no answer…nothing.

Save us, help us, give us your power.

We walked together in a puddle of blood, ate the fruit of the revenge that we wrought.

All we did is take, and still haven’t given anything back.

We could have been killed, but you were the one left dead…

『…Hm? Wait, do you think your connection to him has disappeared? If that’s so, his death and your death won’t be linked. That IS strange, I guess there is no consistency in your theory, huh? Hmm…hard to understand…wait? Ah, oh, wait, maybe I should be the one to explain. Lunaris is too much of a child. Meteria won’t be able to explain well because of soulless people like you, and no one else will work either…? No, that’s too much….』

『Shut up!! Towako, you’re smart, so why does this present so much of a problem for you!? Luna too. but you both know that you have to know, you’re women, right?!』

Gaggiiiiiiii, and the ceiling was now colored a deep pink.

Right before our eyes, the woman’s hair and clothes suddenly had the same color as the ceiling, while she spread light pink, shimmering dust all over the room.

This woman angrily flailed her arms and legs and the whole atmosphere changed again.

However, again Gakiiin, and the right hand wall changed to green, and pooong, a five-year old girl split off from her.

The girl looked almost like the woman had gone back in years, and her hair and clothes were emerald.

『Hn, hn, hnp! Hey, Meteria, you got emotional real quick! This has nothing to do with my sex or explanation ability! I always try to progress the conversation logically…』

『I’m tellingggg youuuu, there is no logic in a woman’s heart! You idiot, idiot, IDIOT!』

『So, you are…you’re calling me an idiot now?!』

『An emotional person can’t listen to logic, you know?! Go and sit in the corner of Towa-chan’s room! Come on, come on!』

『Ah, wa, wait a second, that’s a really disagreeable way to treat me!』

She was about to freak out, but then was pushed by the woman into the corner.

『First, I have to heal you okay? … the drop of a smile, 『Ring of Angel – Blue Healing!』』

The pink woman stretched out her hand and issued magic, creating a shining rind over our heads, as we lie fallen on the ground.

From the inside of the ring fell a light fire-colored dust that our bodies sucked in, and I could feel myself heal.

『Your muscles, anyways, will take a little longer as your soul itself heals. Would you let me speak now? You’re fine, I’m not your enemy. So, please, let me speak? In order to help Kaito, you’ll help us with something, right?』

「But, but, we have to hurry! If we don’t, Kaito might already be killed!. No, maybe already…ahhhhh, no no no, I don’t want him to die!」

Shuria covered her ears as she shouted.

『I mean, you two aren’t dead, so he’s not dead, you see?』

「What do you know about that? I have no connection to him anymore! …to live in a world without master…I can’t…」

As she angrily flared up at the girl and then seemed to be lost, the girl seemed to laugh, enjoying it all.

『Hah hah hah, you idiot! We’re not just going to let you die! You are in a different world, we want to save you but your connection with him has not disappeared. If you feel deep within your heart, you will feel him.』

「Within us?」「Inside of us?」

As she said that, we tried peering inside ourselves.

All we saw was an opening darkness, deepening shadows, a gaping hole.

The dark red flame inside of us had disappeared, almost like a hand had entered and extinguished it.

「Nothing…nothing…」「It’s empty, dark, cold, nothing…」

Black, jet black.

Just alone.

The same as when I was in a single cell in the city about to be sold by the slave trader.

…the same? Even though I couldn’t find that flame of revenge, the same?

『Has the connection disappeared? Don’t be stupid. Since you’re under the power of the 『holy zone』the connection’s just disappeared.』

La-dum, a small, but a certain throb resounded.

I had searched and searched but couldn’t find it.

I couldn’t find it, but I could feel the warmth.

「Aaah! Ahhh! It’s there!」「It’s there! Weak, small, and I can’t find it, but it’s there! Honestly…」

『Just as Towako said, you have a connection inside of you. And that connection was only created by his power, right?』

「No!」「Not at all!」

『If so, then think. What can you do to save Kaito?』

「W, well, if we don’t hurry, that woman will hurt the master…」

『It’ll be okay. Since he passed to the other world, whatever is in this world will not be able to help him.』

「The other…world?」

『You need to become stronger. When he returns, you need to not burden him. In order to avoid thinking about trifling with Kaito-sama.』

「What are you TALKING about?」

『First, know this. The flip side of this world. Who the queen, holy woman, demon lord, hero is. Why, and what roles they each play.』

The pink woman said while swishing her hair behind her, closing her eyes with a bit of bitterness on her lips.

『Also, let’s go kill the god. In order to stop this situation. …yes, kill. There’s no way that Kaito-sama can kill me, none, none whatsoever. That piece of trash woman, should drown in a tank of goblin shit.』

However, her eyes opened again, and hearing her say that with those hollow eyes of hers made them look full of anger.

Words that continued with cursed intent, almost as if a switch was turned on.

『Yes, that’s why I said to explain this. It’s not over, her soul is unstable and the result is all of this. So now please listen to my explanation.』

Now the green girl came forward with a look of expectation.

『Hm, first we need to wake these girls up. Since this is finished, you can be sure that the hero still exists, okay?』

「Ah, Leone…」

As I said that, the green girl’s finger pointed to a woman, Leone, who was unconscious.
