Sevens: Lyle’s Room of Memories

Lyle’s Room of Memories

Inside the Jewel

On a break fro my consciousness into the Jewel, only to find a door had appeared behind my usual seat

The doors behind the other ancestors led to spaces they called their rooms of memories They were the rooms where those memories were preserved, but…

“U such tired faces?”

When I asked with a tilted head, the Third sat down on the round table to explain

『The truth is, this door ca a peek when it did, but…』

You went ahead and tried to peek into someone else’s memories? Is what I wanted to say, but as his expression was a serious on, I decided to wait a bit longer

There, the Third stroked his hair

『… Even with the four of us looking in, we each saw a different scene What’s s we couldn’t think could be contained in youra number of times, but those memories were just plain bizzare In my case, my brother… I saw a scene of Dewey alive No, perhaps it’s more accurate to say Dewey himself was there』

He was ap frolance at the Fourth, he relasses, and wiped off their lenses with a cloth

『Inpose It was scary, so I didn’t even try to enter』

Hearing that, the Fifth shook his head

『What’s to be scared about? You’re the only one who didn’t venture in, you know? By the hen I opened it, it was a child’s room Each time, it was a different kid’s roolaring at me』

I heard of what the Fifth had seen, but I didn’t have such memories

In the first place, the time periods we lived were far removed

The Seventh spoke

『… Mine orse A memory even I didn’t know of… no, a scene But Lyle wasn’t in it』

Even when I wasn’t present in it, he had seen a recorded scene Everyone’s expression held a number of questions, and I looked at the door to my room

I stood before it, and slowly reached to open it

From behind, came the Fourth’s voice

『It’s best you resolve yourself It doesn’t show the nicest of things』

As he said, I kept ure of Celes’ back And as I stood surprised, Celes turned, and directed a radiant smile at me

『Die, damn trash』

… She said that

The next instant, I slaht, and collapsed backwards ontoout of orders, and a strange sweat started co out

The Fifth approached me on the floor, and called out

『What did you see?』

I forcefully got ether

『C-Celes was there She looked at me, smiled, and told me to die… but I don’t have a otten it』

I grasped the Seventh’s extended hand, and stood Standing in front of my door of memories, I was curious as to why I had seen Celes

The Third spoke

『… The other rooe it up a bit, but as long as we aren’t directly controlling it, it doesn’t happen I entered your rooated this and that』

The Third sat back on the table, and looked at the ceiling

『It’s as if they’re alive, you know If you say so to the real Dewey』

Why did it come to this?

I couldn’t understand it The blue gem had become a Jewel, and the memories of the ancestors had revived

But even those ancestors didn’t have a full understanding when it came to Jewels

The Fourth put his glasses back on

『I’ve been wondering it for a while Whether Jewels are really just there to turn Skills tobe passed down… there’s that case with Celes as well And Celes treated the blue Jewel as if it were a failure』

The Seventh put his hand to his chin, and looked down

『It’s not only memories, but personalities that are transcribed… maybe the Skills aren’t the main purpose, but the personalities the those lines a few times to no avail』

The Fifth sat in his own chair, and linked his hands behind his head

『Why would you need so eternal life for the over whoever gets their hands on it… in a sense, that would be eternity, but I can’t really think there’s a point to it』

It was scary to think of how such a dangerous tool was being sold on the streets a few hundred years ago The First bough an unpopular geeneration The Walt House’s blue gem

Unlike the Yelloel in Celes’ hands, it was a failure Apparently

I…

“So could the current Celes have been taken over by the vixen of three hundred years passed? Noveh”

Not taken over yet, is how it felt Right, yet

The Third got off the table, and stood to face me

『Whatever the case, with so athered, there hasn’t been a trace of possession or anything I can’t think doing anything like that would be interesting at all In all actuality, we’re all ae’re recorded existences, and not the individuals themselves… eternal life is a fantasy』

When I nodded, he gave a large clap of his hands

『Now then, it seems the mysteries of the Jewel have increased, but who really cares The probleo at this proble Selva for now』

I folded my arms, and made a dubious expression We were already prepared to attack at any moment And now Lorphys was the same

“It’s about that, but we’ll be off at once It’s just…”

The Fourth responded

『Just?』

“Is it really alright that I don’t do anything?”

The next day

The Holy Knights were lined up fro, and as the soldiers lined themselves up as well, Aura-san came out into the plaza before the temple

To give a proper dispatch to the troops before the mission

She earing that white dress that showed off her body’s lines, and could it be she actually likes it? I thought, as I looked at Aura-san

Both Thel a little further behind

“Brave soldiers of Zayin! In regards to the unjust acts of Selva, the time has come for us to lower the hammer!”

The civilians who’s come to see the dispatch ceremony responded to her voice, and raised a cheer

From the Jewel, came the Third’s voice

『A just cause is i on in the back, you can’t really get heated at these things Well, if they can’t e can’t move forward』

We were going to crush Selva for our own objectives Abruptly, I reht Captain… Armand’s words

(Go to hell, huh? I really am destined for hell, no doubt)

But that wasn’t enough to halt me in my tracks

After gathering the eyes of all in the plaza, Aura spread out her arms wide

“I appoint Holy Knight Captain Lyle Walt as the general of this ar victory onto you and your men”

In a place I would stand out, I got down on a knee, and accepted the task of becoeneral Rather, there wasn’t a suited person for the role at present

“Yes! I will definitely answer to your expectations”

The applause of the people, and the yells of the soldiers shook the capital

Aura-san sht hand to the area around her chest

“I expect great things froht Lyle”
