Vol 16 Chapter 319 (1/2)
Cute Celes, Lovable Lyle
Attached by the men who had become beast, we lined their dead bodies by the side of the road
Unable to leave them be, it was determined ere to incinerate theation here We didn’t have the time to take a detour
Beside the soldiers digging holes in the ground, I called Shannon and May to confirm the corpses They all had their heads severed frole strike
In that one swipe of Novem’s staff turned scythe, these monsters somewhere in-between man and beast had perished
May looked at the corpses
“… I feel so I couldn’t feel their presences either, but they were h”
As she crossed her arht, it seems May hadn’t sensed them either But after Shannon looked at the bodies, she covered her eyes with the palms of her hands
“They weren’t living to begin with And so else entirely It’s really unpleasant”
Both May and Shannon felt unpleasant And Shannon said they weren’t alive from the start
I watched over the bodies that didn’t seem as if they’d revert to normal
“They were purposely placed to attack”
Perhaps it was Celes’ un e to Nove
Novem’s disconcertment she showed as she took the lead, and her usual level-headedness was nowhere to be found This held ato Novem… and perhaps it’s nuance was a declaration of war
In truth…
“Novem, what do you think about all this?”
Novem, who’d been looked down over the bodies from the side, blankly turned towards me It didn’t look as if she’d heard May or Shannon’s words
“… Yes, I believe it is just as you’ve said There’s no way anyone would think they could take us with such numbers Then we should think they must have been purposely made to attack”
I touched a hand to hts circle around
“It’s Celes’ doing, so I’ve no idea howIt holds It ht up on a whim”
Even if there was noit because it looked fun was how Celes did things
I also considered such action had co to us
There, Eva returned with the robed dark elves from the forest
“Lyle, there weren’t any strange points around Too little of anything, mind you With so many nu on standby Though they could have just co”
If they were staying in the forest, at the very least, there would be so of the season, lighting a fire would be a necessity And food stock would be needed as well Excretion was unavoidable
Hearing there was no sign of anything, I looked towards Shannon and May
“So the pragmatic conclusion is that they really weren’t alive It does seem Celes has left humanity”
All s were going, perhaps it was only a rissa
And it see to turn man to monster, and co off the fact of its completion
“… We’ll bury them once we’ve burned them If we didn’t have a need to hurry on, I’d have liked to conduct a ation”
I took a glance at Novem
The one who requested an incineration and burial was Nove about this chose it, that ithout a doubt the proper means of disposal

… Bahnseim’s capital of Centralle
“Hah, I’ a few ten thousands alive was fun, but…”
In the audience cha her elbow into the ar her chin on her hands While she showed a slovenly bearing, those lined to watch her form were entranced
For now she was bored, so she lined up thean air as if she was to start up a cere
But at so the way she had lost interest
“I thought I’d give whatever randorown tired of the knights fighting to the death, and those without the willpower to stand up to torture merely rejoice, so it’s no fun at all”
Her own… a power close to Septe that entranced humans
By it, there were many humans who earnestly believed it just to be killed by Celes And in all actuality, when she tried to torture, their pain would always turn to delight in the end
The stronger Celes’ power grew by the day, the stronger that trend became Even if she paid no mind to it, those around would depend on her They would revere her
But Celes didn’t have the slightestthat power
Frorissa’s voice
『So you’ve already cultivated so much of Septeht, Celes Even I hadn’t grown so far when I was your age』
Without paying mind to the people around her, Celes answered her Fro to herself, but no one would ever find that strange
What Celes was doing was the right thing No matter what life was irrationally taken, if Celes did it, it was their justice
“When the power gets stronger, it all grows boring Is that why you thought up all those ideas?”
Agrissa, whose atrocities ell know, gave a si cackle No ry If it was anyone else, she would show then hell on earth
『Boredo called enduring Tirow in nu at it small-scale… come to think of it』
Agrissa within the Jewel let her pretty mouth twist Beautiful as it was, she ohed as she spoke
『That tiainstfroleader of it all, but they opposed ed me to battle As I basked in my boredom, it was the best time on earth』
But in contrast to Agrissa, Celes grew sullen A wrinkle graced her brow, as she clenched her molars
“That insect That da to hiainst rant hih I could kill hiain and I wouldn’t be satisfied Si alive does he ruin the taste of the air I breathe The very fact he exists irritates me Hey, when is it that I can finally kill him?”
As Celes grew expressionless and hed
『Het, there’s someone out there who can draw out sothem wouldn’t be any fun At the start, I did hate that man But the one to draw so much of my attention… adorable Celes, your ancestor Lyle was the first』
