Turn Around, and Press On

Within the Jewel

Normally, it was the room with the round table, where the heads of history held their s

The table had been re installed in its place

The First’s and Second’s weapons were floating around the walls

The heads of history had closed the about it

“Hmm, we should’ve just cleared up that uess I was a little too forward Still… what a spectacle!”

I did a spin to take in all e, starting with Novem

Novem spoke

“L-Lyle-saet what you’re trying to accomplish, but first and foremost, where exactly are we?”

I’s to ask, but I can explain all the trifling details as much as she wanted later

“Don’t sweat the small stuff For now, you just have to let your fists do the talking Simple, isn’t it?”

With a dubious expression on her face, she looked around

Monica was doing some warmup exercises

“For what reason have you taken my consciousness to such a place… but if you tellas I may, I, Monica will join in!”

She see off quite a bit of motivation, reluctant as she sounded To my cute maid who carried out my orders with all her efforts, I sent a smile

“Nice, that’s the spirit! You all have your dissatisfactions, and things you’d like to say But if there are circu… then all you have to do is fight!”

With her face still red, Clara held her usual staff close to her body as she pleaded to me

“No, uht it out with Noveet messy”

I directed her a sht hand up to my shoulder, I had my weapon materialize in it

Novem analyzed it

“That’s Lyle-sama’s… I heard it had been destroyed”

“This space is quite a convenient one Therefore, you’ll be fine even if…”

I cut deeply into ushed out The pain was much less than usual

Seeing that, Aria

“What are you doing!? And just now, you…”

She had only put up resistance in appearance alone, but even now, she was protesting how she couldn’t forgive the kiss She had been in chaos, but it looks like she’d finally recovered

“Don’t worry It heals right up Look”

The wound disappeared, and the blood as well May looked at the door leading to the Fifth’s room as she spoke

“H here I’ht us all here, and asked us to fight it out Why?”

She didn’t seem satisfied

Eva was putting on a face as if to feign ignorance, as she swayed back and forth

“You all need so up And wait, I ive a punishment to either Novem or Miranda after they’ve done so much for me If the two of you have some dissatisfactions with one another, then settle it here No rules, just go at one another until you feel satisfied”

“Then you don’t care if me and her stay the same as we have? I’ll say it clearly, I don’t trust Novem at all I have more doubts about her than I’ve ever had in my life”

On her words, I smiled

“And what of it? There won’t be a proble as I trust in both of you Fret not, I will trust in Miranda, and I will trust in Noveht if you want to believe in me, Miranda I’ll definitely make you happy”

When I said I’d make her happy, perhaps it threw off her h But I didn’ta little red

(A… no inning to fear myself)

Novem asked me a little sorrowfully

“… There should have been a ht? Lyle-sama, you’ll believe me despite that? You haven’t even met Octō, yet you’ll trust me with just a word?”

It’s probably true that Nove but a s In the first place, there’s no way Celes would act in such a roundabout way

(She’s a capricious one after all She can’t deal with everything as coolly asabout it, if Nove, then so be it)

But there was so I had to tell her myself

“Octō-san is irrelevant I’ that I trust you And unfortunately, I don’t have any intentions of in with”

“… Eh? W-well…”

When Nove

“A hundred floor Labyrinth… soed by a h the innermost chambers, we’ll destroy their economy and become wanted men To add onto that, my objective is to take down the country of Bahnsei up I don’t have the ti her It’s a pity I did want to see her once”

Well ell, I shookher head a little It see that Octō-san

I won’t call it impossible, but it’d take time

When I looked around, I saw a shaken-up Shannon At the end of the end, she shouted at me to kiss her already, but now she was in chaos

A slightly reddened Miranda looked at her

“What are you so nervous about? If you won’t get injured will you join in as well?”

Staring at Miranda’s face, Shannon spoke

“… It’s the first I’ve ever seen your face No, I assuh”

Miranda grabbed both Shannon’s shoulders in shock, and brought her face up close

“Shannon, can your eyes see!?”

“T-they can, that is to say, visual infor them… and wait, there are some people on the other side of the doors, you know Just who could they…”

I approached her, and put my hand on her shoulder

“Good for you, Shannon Your eyes can see And… in this world, don’t you think there are so? Otherwise, next time may be a deep rather than a French”

When her face turned red, I laughed, and returned to the center of the ring Miranda called out to my back

“Looks like you’re hiding your share as well”

I turned only my face

“Everyone’s got their share of things to hide When the time comes, I’ll say what I want on the bed So resolve yourself, and call out to me”

Miranda looked at me, took a step back, turned her face away, and shut her mouth

So I laughed, and stood in the center, spread out my arms, and declared

“Now then, before we start, we should decide on a tiht to your heart’s content But I have to watch over your bodies outside the Jewel, so this is where we’ll part If I’m here, I’m sure it would be hard to do it after all Well then”

Aria extended her hand towards me

“W-wait!”

I waved my hand back, and sent my consciousness back to my own body

… In the Jewel In his room of memories

The Third, Sleigh, watched Lyle take his leave before anyone could say anything

『… mr lyle… fled with a smile』

His door was locked, and he didn’t try to open it, but he could see the situation of the conference room, even from the confines of his own space

But rather than a conference room, it was probably an arena at this point

The Fourth Generation, Max, had also escaped into Sleigh’s room

『If he did this knowing full well, then I’d like to praise him, but… eh? Could it be that we’ll have to watch Noveht all the way to the end?』

A panicked Fourth Generation looked at the tension-loaded arena that Lyle had left behind

He felt a grating in his stohters silently watched one another fro

The first one to move was Monica, once she finished her warmup

The Third spoke

『That automaton, she tried to take Novem by surprise!』

Froe haleefully lowered it towards Novem
