… The Bahnseidom, Centralle

In a private rooe to call it as such, Celes was selecting a dress Taking her favorite dress in her hands, she prepared to receive her father as co to Centralle

But on the words of the maid who entered the roo out a dress beside her touched both hands to her mouth in surprise

Celes, with the dress still in both her hands

“… What did you say? What did you just say!?”

Her favorite clothes ripped, and she took her own rapier-concealing staff from automaton Bert, who stood nearby The Yelloel buried in its hilt let off a faint light

The maid spoke

“B-by the reports, the Walt Army invaded Beim But… the Walt House Head, Count Maizel was killed in action The army has surrendered, and faced d… defeat!”

Seeing the kneeling an to shake

(It couldn’t be… why… IThere’s no way he’d lose to leftovers like him There’s no way that small fry could… Novem I see, Novem did it That damn bitch!)

Clenching her rip her staff increased There, she heard Agrissa’s voice

『… Poor girl You lost your dear father? But you can’t just stay angry Shall I guess what you’re thinking? Let’s see… Novem did it That’s what’re on your mind』

Celes hit the maid who delivered such detestable neith her staff She dragged the dresses left around the roo all the way to the wall

While she barely survived, she was at death’s door Celes’ breath was out of orders, her eyes open wide

“No… Maizel was… that man can’t have…”

Seeing herher face with both eyes as she wept, Celes embraced her

“Mother I… I’m…!”

“Celes!”

Herto Celes And the two of the over them, Bert issued orders around

“Carry the injured off and treat her And vacate the area”

The maids moved just as ordered, while the quilin in the roo as she sat on the floor

Agrissa spoke to Celes

『Unfortunately, I doubt Novem laid a hand on Maizel While shewouldn’t lay a hand on him In that case, the one who defeated Maizel was…』

Celes lost the light in her clear clue eyes, a wrinkle gracing her brow

“That damn bastard I even spared him because Novem told me to He went and killed my father… when he’s just washed up leftover… mere kitchen waste…”

Agrissa contained her urge to laugh as she called out to Celes

『Do you detest hirant him all the pain of the world? But before that… you’ll have to carry out your dear father’s funeral You need to prepare a splendid grave for your beloved father Right… to make sure your father isn’t lonely, you should bury quite a feith hiether If you do, your father will never be lonely』

Hearing that statement she couldn’t think sane, Celes noticed

“T-that’s right I have to hold a rip or else… mother?”

“Give h Let me cry for now”

Seeing her mother like that, Celes took action that would surprise any other

“I-I understand I’ll wait Celes ait as long as you want”

If anyone beside her parents told Celes to wait, it would beco told that by her mother

… Why was that?

It was simple The existence called Celes had a tendency to adhere to its parents It was the sarissa and Celes colored by ed from the common man

『… Celes, do you want to be with your mother forever?』

“Of course I do If we’re not together forever… I, I’ll…”

Agrissa laughed in the Jewel Her , she spoke to Celes

『Then just keep her by your side forever Maizel didn’tas you collect up his corpse, there won’t be a probleotten full control over, ‘that skill’ If you use it, you’ll be with your mother forever I’m envious, Celes』

Agrissa, who really did feel jealous, was obsessed with the thing called parents as well It wasn’t as if Septem alone had an abnormal adherence

Celes looked at herher

“… I see Eureka! That’s right! Mother, with this, we’ll be together forever! Father will be back in no time!”

“Celes, what are you…”

Celes made sure not to cause her h her neck Clinging to herfrohted face

“Together forever Forever… ah, I see We have to collect my father’s remains”

『Then should we put the funeral on hold? No, I haven’t seen one of those in a long ti Maizel’s remains is important, but could you proceed the preparations on the funeral for e to see ten thousand humans in pain』

Bathed in her mother’s blood, Celes tapered her rissa, but she was a foe Celes couldn’t go against too strongly

“Yeah, yeah, got it I’ll do it, jeez Well, reclai a portion of father’s corpse coether for a party soon”

『A party, eh? I never get tired of you』

Celes preciously held her mother’s head as she activated a Skill

“Mother… now come back to me”

Her h the air, her own body and blood nearby recycling itself and reverting No, it couldn’t be called a reversion She wasn’t alive any longer

But Clair regained her former form

“Celes, why are you so dirty? Oh, there’s no helping you Let’s go to the baths together and get you all cleaned up”

There stood her mother, the same as in her life Celes smiled

“I’m sorry, mother But with this, we can see father at once I’m so relieved”

Claire smiled as well

“That’s right It’s a relief, Celes”

Agrissa let her voice out from the Jewel

『It sure feels nice to do a good thing I’ve a longing for soony, Celes And… Lyle, was it? For hi to him』
