176 Episode 69: A Long Night Comes (6) (2/2)

uncomfortable and fearful as fear boils from the whole body of Zorr. Something in me is screaming and telling you it's dangerous. Oh, this girl...

”... Chimera... so...!?”

Yes, she was haunting the same signs as Chimera. No, not exactly the same technically. Rather, she feels that she has concentrated the same signs as Chimera.

It's not as giant as a chimera, nor is there a distorted area. Yet - my whole body is complaining that something terrible is there.

”Oh, are you more familiar with these words? Again, nice to meet you, new friends of the Kingdom of Palettia”

Fluently switching to the words of the Kingdom of Palletia to greet her, she would be a pleasant princess herself if she decided not to see that alien part. But still, the sense of repentance that your whole body complains about doesn't go away.

”... are you the princess of the Kingdom of Cambus?

”Did Ruella tell you that? Yeah, that's right. But don't you have to call me a princess anymore? My name is Lilana. It's just Lilana, my friend.”

”... is that because you destroyed the Kingdom of Cambus?

The girl who named Lilana for my inquiry tilted her neck wonderfully. I don't know, I'm putting my finger on my chin like I said.

”Ruella, you're still mistaken”

”... a mistake?

”We no longer need the form of a canvas kingdom, my friend. I finally found it, how to get it forever! So you're just putting that into practice?

Lilana said with a full grin as she boasted of the treasure. I threw in more inquiries as I swallowed my spit.

”How can it last forever?

In my inquiry, Lilana grinned as if she were a Mother of Mercy and put her hand on her chest, telling her that she was just a little embarrassed and still with absolute confidence.

”- That I, taking in all beings, will make everyone one. And I will reborn you all as eternal beings.”

-... the words, they didn't come out.

Make it all one? After becoming an eternal being, I ”rebirth” …?

I don't understand one thing about what she's saying. She's just trying to see it as the truth and put it into practice.

I don't understand one thing: action, sincerity, thought. Oh, I see. If mutual understanding is impossible, she is indisputably a monster.

”People are vulnerable. I get old, faded, sick, anxious for a limited amount of time, consuming my life like a burning fire. Yeah, that's the guy. But that's why people can move towards great goals. Find value in your life and move on to the future. People are so wonderful! So I love people, too. That's why I want to be eternal and deliver eternity to everyone.”

”Deliver eternity, what do you do...?

”? I wouldn't lose anything anymore if I were forever. Then people would be much happier, wouldn't they? We have always inherited wishes that do not come true. But no one ever gave up. Unravel the truth of magic, be eternal beings, and we all honor each other! It would be a wonderful world! We've been praying for people's futures ever since we were founded! I'll inherit it! And embody it! People say they can be happier!

I didn't know the exact words that describe this feeling. It's a cliché, but I just thought she was crazy.

Maybe I'm not wrong. But I can't swallow it because I just think of it as a product of madness.

But I'm also going to be confused about whether it's wrong not to take it or whether what Lylana is saying is actually right.

I guess that's all because Lilana puts her chest up and believes that it leads to people's happiness. I don't know why I can believe it, so it just seems crazy to me......

”- Don't play witch mountain!

It was acrylic that screamed to repaint the air. She was staring at Lilana with anger, not fear of her body.

”Happy if forever? I'm not gonna let you forget what you did to make me happy! You've been grabbing people, letting them kill them and using them for good! There's no way you can believe what they call happiness from the bottom of your belly!

”Oh... how could there be a Licant in the Kingdom of Palletia? Could it be one of those kids who escaped?

It was Lilana tilting her neck strangely, but she met her hands in front of her chest with a full smile to see if she had gotten to the point of something.

”That would have been tough, wouldn't it? I didn't think I was gonna get away with it, and it made me feel hard. And it's a misunderstanding, right?

”Misunderstood!? What's the misunderstanding?!”

- Because you didn't kill anything.

... Why is every word of her bad for the heart? The cold runs through my body like my heart has been grabbed.

Lilana tells her innocently to laugh as the boulder acrylic is also distracted.

”My children, whom you call monsters, and those whom you kill, are all things that I gave birth to you. So, nothing's dead? Because I'm good at playing vampires, right? That's why killing him will get you back on track! So don't worry!
