Sevens: The Truth

The Truth

“T-that was heavy Real heavy stuff there”

『Whoah~, that went beyond my expectations Even I was surprised』

Oncemy head over the truth Novem informed me of To be honest, I had no idea what to say

“What do you think she meant when she said she left Celes alone because it would turn out for the best? Honestly, I can only hear it as if she wanted my power and memory of Septem sucked away…”

『No, I’arcoated, but to be blunt, that shows that Noverissa What’s more, they even carried out a backrooave tacit consent to yourstolen No matter how you think about it, this is heavy Rather, the previous generation was also heavy, but the love of Goddesses and evil Gods and whatever sure is heavy』

I yelled at the laughing Third Generation Head

“I’m serious here!”

But the Third still see tothe ancestors?

『… Hey, Lyle The truth Nove it, have you come to hate her?』

“I-I don’t kno should I put it, my sense of values is too different from hers”

『That I get』

There was enough of a gap between me and Novem for the Third to easily accept it To Noveuard Not one to love romantically

But it’s fact she lovesto the Third…

『Not as a lover, but as fa back on it now, that’s how it always felt She’s soft on you, and after accepting al wife position』

Of course, I felt as if I was betrayed

“Could it be, um… the reason LYLE didn’t hand me the memories was…”

『I can’t deny the possibility you’d become wary of Noveht you the base behind Maizel-kun’s sword I’m sure he had other reasons as well, but he disappeared without saying anything』

Novem ary ofThat was because she had attained me who’d been ridden of Septem’s influence

It was all too heavy, and as I mulled, the Third spoke

『Lyle, do you like Novem-chan?』

“… Even if she has a link with Celes, it’s true that she protectedI can say is ‘it’s complicated’”

Once upon a time, Celes stolethat, it seems Novem didn’t try to prevent it, but insteadas I wasn’t killed

Celes and Agrissa ary of Novem… it’s true that up to now, there were many parts to her that were outside the norm

“The fact she recoht of ht? That’s the saddest part of this”

The Third laughed

『Cohable that the one closest to you is the one that hasn’t fallen I’m a bit curious about what mr lyle would have to say about this』

“… Why have you taken such a liking to my post-Growth self?”

『Because it’s interesting And there’s that gap with your usual Personally, that ‘Then you can fall for me now Fall for me this instant,’ you said to Eva is still the best for me Fun times, fun times』

While he did see up Up to that point, even if I stayed silent, someone would have offered a rebuttal to that opinion But now there were none And the Third’s tone was also a little lonesome

Perhaps the Third was thinking over various things as he spoke to me

『I’m sure there’s this and that, but what do you want to do, Lyle? Do you want to throw her out? Our keep her by your side?』

I thought for a while There, the Third went on

『It’s is But in life, there are times when you should keep it simple The practical problem: If you feel Novem-chan is too heavy a burden… I think it would be fine if you kicked her out』

On the Third’s words, I gave a slight laugh

“After you’ve toldthat now?”

The Thirdit now’

『Well, you’re the one I value ht now It’s not as if I want you to drive her out But there’s an order of precedence to s Froht feel betrayed』

What I felt…

“… Do you think Novem will look at me? Not as a man of some Walt House, but the existence that is me?”

The Third, in a kind voice

『That depends on you, Lyle Do your best』

… At the port of South Beim, shi+ps of various countries had arrived

The authorities of Faunbeux were taking part, arriving on a shi+p of Cartaffs

There was a reason Ludmilla had personally made her way there as representative of Cartaffs

Besides Cartaffs, there were shi+ps of Djanpear, Galleria, Rusworth and more anchored around

“So we’re the last to come”

As Lud with her disinterestedly spoke

“Given the distance, there was no helping it”

Ludrinned

“Now then, you really will be assisting me, I’m sure?”

The Valkyrie nodded, and bestowed the information to the queen

“Fro you laden yourself with our h merit You will let us look after it, will you not?”

Ludhed

“Do what you want If that’s what it takes to earn your cooperation, it’s a cheap buy But when it co Cartaffs’ curriculum I want my first born to assertively aim for the next seat on the imperial throne The runner up is Cartaffs’ crown… but I’m sure my second born can take over that one”

Ludmilla looked at the Valkyrie who volunteered assistance as she leaned her own long sword over her shoulder While she was surprised back when she suddenly offered her cooperation, from the Valkyrie’s specs, she couldn’t help but want to keep her close at hand

Only when it came to Lyle had they sworn absolute loyalty, but to look at it the other way, as long as you didn’t betray Lyle, there was a high probability they wouldn’t act hostile

But there was a problem

“So just how many Valkyries will assist me?”

Valkyrie…【Unit Nineteen】 raised one hand, and kept only her thumb down

“Includingyou”

Looking at the Valkyrie’s four raised fingers, Ludmilla touched her chin with her left hand
