Vol 18 Chapter 3 (2/2)
This was place was sorandfather's city
After she noticed this, Nina quickly searched for his body, finding it in an instant
”Great-grandfather!”
Gildred was fighting with so, was it because he hadn't noticed Nina's shouts, or did he ignore her on purpose?
Her great-grandfather's back was in Nina's vision
”Thoseclose were truly impressive Even if it was only momentary”
The current area was filled with raucous, unpleasant sounds, so why could her voice still be heard?
The one standing before Gildred was Vati
No, it was Lævateinn It wasn't the Vati that Nina recognized The heights of the tere slightly different, their clothing wasn't the same, and even her face was iven up the false identity of Vati, and becohts of us Nano-Celluloids beco wars very easily”
So, why could she hear Lævateinn's voice?
Gildred hadn't randfather!”
Nina called out
But, Nina's voice ed by the dissonance, and wasn't even able to reach her own ears, only leaving behind the feeling of having said those words
She should charge over to Gildred's side, she should go help him Her body ordered this Nina restored her Dite The Haikizoku Melnisc roared in concert Had her hearing stopped? She couldn't even hear the noise anymore
In the soundless world, Nina shouted
”If the state of your body was perfect, then perhaps these battle plans would have succeeded”
Nina charged towards the back of Gildred
However, that
”Wha-!”
The one who stopped her wasn't Lævateinn
It was a tentacle The tentacles that appeared after separating froround overlapped in layers in front of Nina to block her path
”What? What does that mean?”
Nina's randfather's companion That should be the case, so why did they want to stop Nina, to keep her froo deter with her great-grandfather
However, the tentacles didn't move aside, and not only this, they even wrapped around Nina, expressing the attitude that no o
”You didn't compute for the condition of your own body, human flesh has limits”
Nina already knew the secret as to why only Lævateinn's voice reached this place
The tentacles had the effect of sound trans her voice reach Nina
”What's the er as she stared at the tentacles
The tone that Lævateinn spoke as filled with a bad feeling, she had to rush over to her great-grandfather's side as soon as possible
However, the one who blocked Nina was her great-grandfather's co of how she could comive their current response
But in this situation, Nina's fury didn't have any effect on the develop, that is the reason for your defeat”
Lævateinn's murmur crossed the space between the two of them
Nina's position was very far from the two of them
She knew this
Gildred fell to his knees He fell to the ground, and the iron whips in his hands also dropped to the ground
”Great-grandfather!”
He had fallen
”Goodbye”
The dissonance disappeared The thing that was about to drop from the sky crumbled and disappeared The sparks disappeared, and the sky once again returned to darkness
”Lævateinn!”
Nina roared Her voice reached her ears
She charged forward
In front of Nina'sher was easily bloay
Lævateinn turned her body, not even looking at the fallen Gildred
”Waittttttttttt!”
Even if she roared, she didn't stop her footsteps
Nina hadn't reached that place, but her figure had already disappeared without a trace
All that was left was a tranquil quiet
All that was left here was her fallen great-grandfather, and excessively quiet city, and Nina who had lost the target of her rage and who could only hold her anger
”Great-grandfather!”
However, right noasn't the tiry Nina rushed to the side of the fallen Gildred
”That Schneibel, she's unexpectedly nosy No, htly opened his eyelids and one pale, beco worse and worse
”That person is only correctly co the fate that it was endoith” [2]
”Great-grandfather, I'll go find help!”
”It's no use, it's too late”
”How can that be!”
”Do you kno old this old ardless of the means a non-mechanical body uses, it won't be able to escape the doomsday of death Before this kind of limit, I have lost to her, that's all it is”
”I don't- I don't want that”
”Don't say that kind of willful thing”
Gildred breathed lightly, and then s:
”When you were s that corown up at all?”
”I haven't, I haven't! I don't want great-grandfather to die!”
”But, that's an i I will die But it's not because of defeat, it's because of htly touched Nina's face
Nina was surprised, her great-grandfather's hand et
It was blood
”Listen well The loss this time is all because of this old randfather”
”I have no dolls this tiht
”Dischale, Tentorium, Falysodam”
He called out three names, and Nina had heard these names before
Melnisc had said that these Electronic Fairies were the same as the other Electronic Fairy in Nina's body The same as the nameless Electronic Fairy that had once saved Nina's life
These Electronic Fairies revealed their figures, their bodies landing brilliantly before Gildred and Nina
One seester
One seee as Nina
One see beauty with a calm temperament
And also
”Armadune”
Gildred called this naht about this, a part of the city began splitting, and becaiant plant
A bud appeared from the steed, opening into a red flower
In the center of the floas a girl
The girl wore flower petals as clothing, and tears rolled down her eyes
Ar Electronic Fairy
The arrogant youngster, probably Dischale, clenched its fist
The teenager, Tentorium, clenched its teeth
The calether
So
”Frorandfather, what are you saying?”
”They are individuals but at the same time are not individuals They are Electronic Fairies born in the Senou City, for cities How much power they can create depends on your tolerance Everything will be decided by you”
”Great-grandfather, it can't, it can't be like that”
”I already have no way to use them well But, if it's you, if it's your soul you should be able to endure their gathered deterth”
”I can't!”
Nina shouted, she wanted to say that that couldn't be
The randfather's life”
Weren't they the Electronic Fairies that extended her great-grandfather's life? Though her great-grandfather had used artificial hibernation, wasn't it because of their strength that he had been able to extend his life to this degree?
”Extending life has noyour life that
”This old er do it Therefore, I have no reason to athered together can't be used for soh Nina, and the hand stroking her face grabbed her shoulder
”It's up to you”
”Great-grandfather, I”
”If you think you're too weak, then beco you don't need tireat-grandfather to die”
”That's not possible”
Gildred quickly replied
”Things that will die will die It's only this life that was extended with difficulty that has come to an end I've only been born a little earlier than the other old men, and died a bit later than them”
The hand that held her shoulder relaxed
”I give therandfather's face, and he looked at Nina, and then looked at the Electronic Fairies
He looked at Armadune
Then, he looked at his own hand
He made a fist
”I'm sorry”
He murmured
”I truly didn't want to let you bear the burden in the end, but with these two hands”
Hefrom her arms made Nina utter a soundless scream towards the sky
◇
”It would have been better if you were completely saved”
The words that Karian had left behind stuck inside Leerin's chest like a curse and refused to leave
To be completely saved? Let herself be saved fro humankind from the current situation, from the crisis that would definitely coht”
Leerin mumbled
Karian was definitely ly What Leerin currently needed wasn't a savior
But
Leerin hadn't been slow enough not to understand what Karian had said
However, Leerin really hadn't been able to retort Even if he didn't give her a chance to defend herself, Leerin hadn't been able to retort, perhaps wanting to make these words beco
Then, she would cut off everything for hiht this that she rant hirant hirant hiht?”
The one who asked this was Lucia, whom Leerin had requested to adjust the Heaven's Blade into a weapon for Haia before the cereone to Lucia's workplace to personally request this job of her She was Leerin's senpai in the orphanage they had grown up in, and was as reliable as an older sister, living on her own as a Dite technician, and currently specially supervised the adjustment of Ruimei's Heaven's Blade
She had also had a child with Rui the feel of the s
”I can't decide how a Heaven's Blade is dealt with!”
”Really?”
Her eyes stared at Leerin without blinking Though Leerin's body went stiff because of her older sister's gaze, a troubleso back and forth inside her, she smiled naturally
”You don't have the authority to decide who to give the Heaven's Blades to, but you can probably chip in to which of the two Heaven's Blades to give, right?”
”I can't do that kind of thing”
Though Leerin said this, Lucia kept staring at her Leerin couldn't bear that gaze, and involuntarily lowered her head to look at the baby
”Honestly, for things like Heaven's Blades, it doesn't ”
After saying this, Lucia touched the box in front of her with her finger What was inside was the unrestored form of the Heaven's Blade Wolfstein
”Even if I secretly used Rui's Garrand, no one would probably notice, right?”
”How could that”
”No, I', I really think so”
”Really?”
Leerin asked this, and Lucia nodded her head
”Think about it Heaven's Blades are Dites passed down generation to generation They don't need replaces to be adjusted like this, to be able to give them to the suitable Military Artist to use Nors”
”Nn”
”Heaven's Blades only need their settings to be adjusted to be able to let anyone use an incredibly satisfactory weapon Before Delbone-sama, there were no Psychokinesists who became Heaven's Blade successors, but the Heaven's Blades were also suitable to be used with Psychokinesis, and even the current Heaven's Blade Elsmau can use thes don't have differences Perhaps Heaven's Blades are just a convenient prop, just twelve names”
”Names”
”Then, in that case, don't you think that that person giving that thing out is less?”
”Of course”
Leerin answered quickly If she hadn't answered quickly, Lucia ht say more If she could, she didn't want to hear
”Ah, I've also said a lot of incredible things to that person So I also don't want to force you”
Of course, 'that person' meant Layfon Leerin wanted to hear what Lucia had said to Layfon, but it would only be for herself, and she s, so Leerin could only row up, Leerin”
”Knohat?”
”Adults can also ardless of the person, everyone uses their own accue and experience to look at the world We can only see the world in that way With that kind ofto ourselves, and there are few opportunities in which applying that sort of answer to others is correct”
”Then, you ive out our views to others?”
”Ah, other people have coe and experience, and it's not that easy to to succeed, unless almost all of your experiences are the sah we're not completely different, we can't be completely similar Ah, it's your decision anyway, so I have no way to keep opposing it I only want to say do you really not regret?”
”I don't regret it”
”Then I won't say any more Haia Wolfstein Laia will arrive in the afternoon, will you be co too?”
”There's no need”
The orders Leerin had received were only to give the Heaven's Blade to Lucia
Even Lucia worried about these kinds of things
Knowing Leerin and Layfon and knowing the status between the two of theh of the saiven the chance
Having her true feeling seen through was less
However
She still wanted to say so
Deception coated her feelings, even letting Leerin fool herself
Leerin had noticed this after Terios attacked her on that suht
She had noticed it after she watched hi sent to the hospital
It wasn't the sah it was si ordinary, perhaps it wouldn't have produced such a mistake However, Leerin and Layfon were different The relationshi+p between the two of them wasn't ordinary
Because of this, there had been aBecause of this, there had been a mistake
In this kind of situation, a peculiar condition had eed It couldn't be the truth between the two of them
Perhaps it was because she knew about this that she wanted to replace the ht that LayfonAnd thathad been created in many people who had seen the two of the had spread
”But, this is enough”
Leerin believed
Were there people who needed to know the truth? No The only reason for it was that the condition Leerin expected would continue on
”The enemies will be here soon”
Leerin's aspirations were only this
The Heaven's Blade successor Haia Wolfstein Laia had been born The eain, and this was truly important
”There's only one more”
There was only one more Heaven's Blade whose owner hadn't been decided
Would the twelve Heaven's Blades be cobbled together first, or would the other side take action first?
Originally Leerin had thought that the enemies were on the other side of the sky, and she had never thought that they had already cos became impatient
Because she knew a fact, that the opponent was in Zuellni
Hurry up and come
Since the hts
Hurry up and leave that city, she had always thought
So Leerin had long since been waiting for this feeling
”Your Majesty!”
After she felt it in her room, Leerin quickly rushed into the palace
”Aah, I know”
Alsheyra had also felt it Saya quietly stood by her side
”In the end, we haven't even gotten twelve together once, have we?”
The Queen held the Heaven's Blade whose owner hadn't been decided
”Should I just use it ht not be bad Since if we can't get through this battle smoothly, there won't be another chance”
It wasn't Alsheyra who answered her ue, nor was it Saya, but rather the voice of a third person
”It's okay to use it so h the voice caure couldn't be seen
Meow
At sozario”
Facing Alsheyra's surprised expression, Leerin zario? Aah”
Alsheyra seemed to have some impression of this na cat
”Well, what are you planning?” [3]
”Honestly, I still want to help, so I'll bring in the reserve candidate”
”Reserve candidate?”
”Correct”
The black cat nodded its head
Afterwards, the scenery behind the black cat beca popped out from there
”Iyah!”
Someone screamed, and tumbled onto the floor of the hall
”Ouchhhh where is this place?”
There was a girl wearing the uniform of Zuellni there
”Clara?”
”Huh? Ah, Your Majesty?”
The two of the Alsheyra, Leerin could guess that this girl was the girl who had run away from the Ronsht”
Alsheyra sighed deeply, and gave her the thing in her hand Claribel reflexively accepted the object, a distracted expression still on her face
”Ah, use it well If you lose then it's a dead end”
”Huh? Huh?”
At that moment, she became the Heaven's Blade Successor - Claribel Noiran Ronsmier But, she still had a confused expression on her face as if she didn't know that her identity had changed like this
Though this was an understandable thing
But, Leerin didn't care about this Alsheyra hadn't e the issue
”Well, we have to carry out adjustments immediately”
”That has already been resolved We only need to change the Heaven's Blade settings to the saht?”
The black cat opened its mouth
”Ah, then, we'll do that Then, next is just to attack”
Afterthis, Alsheyra strode out of the hall alone
Fro 'E'
”Didn't you say that you didn't care?”
Leerin as left behind in the hall asked this of the black cat
The cat purred, but in contrast, the jewel on its forehead shone with light
”You said that before, you said that this has nothing to do with you”
”Correct Your lives have no relation with ardless of what happens, it doesn't concern e or hatred, but the object of my hatred isn't those mechanical dolls”
”Then”
”Ah, perhaps I want to find an answer for ardless of how it's i can't be obtained a second tis to this degree in order to show that”
The black cat murmured this, and Claribel as by its side showed a surprised expression
”Really?”
Leerin couldn't understand the black cat's words Even if she thought about what kind ofthe black cat's words expressed, it wasn't any use
”Because everything has already come this far”
Who really was she? Why was she lost? Those things were insignificant Leerin gave up on herself who had asked those questions even though she understood the reason
”I can only completely spin the wheel of fate”
Leerin stroked the aching eye under her eyepatch
That day, catastrophe came to Grendan
