CH 378
“Hmm? …… This is …….”
When I woke up, I was standing there in my normal clothes, even though I was supposed to be sleeping with Makina. But this drowsy scene is familiar.
“Big brother♪!”
“Sephiro, It’s really you, it’s been a while since I’ve seen you.”
I knew it was the same space where I had talked to Sephiro before. He jumped in front of me and smiled. I stroked his head and he looked ticklish.
“Yes! Ehehe, It’s been a while since I’ve talked to you ♪ But I wonder if it’s because of her that I’m in a here where I can talk like this?”
“Aiatsubus, huh?”
When I asked, Sephiro nodded with a mysterious face and continued the story.
“Yes …… I don’t know, that person, she gave me the chills when I confronted her, more so than the Gospel’s Descent guys I’ve fought before. “
“Chills? But you fought bravely, didn’t you?”
“Ehehe~. The moment I saw Aiatsubus, I felt a surge of strength in my body, and I was able to defeat the Qliphoth that I wasn’t able to do anything before! [Solar Striker] popped into my head, and I was able to pull swords out of branches and stuff.”
[Solar Striker] …… It’s Sephiro’s skill that I saw when I did a simple appraisal. That means it’s finally been activated ……
“I thought Makina-oneechan was in danger and attacked Aiatsubus, but I couldn’t stop my body from shaking …… I think it’s called instinct, it’s telling me that she shouldn’t exist? That’s what I was reacting to-.”
“I see, so you’ve done your best. Thank you, Sephiro.”
“Wah!? Ehe~, I love Makina-oneechan too, after all!”
When I hugged him, he smiled with a big smile on his face. In fact, the blow from behind decided the withdrawal of the Aiatsubus, so Sephiro’s achievement is quite significant. Then, there was–
“W-What, is this place ……? Ah, Lars!”
“Oh, Makina!? How did you get here?”
“You know this place? And who’s that little kid in your arms?”
Before I could say a word, Sephiro jumped out of my arms and ran to Makina and hugged her.
“Makina-oneechan♪!”
“W-What? Do you know my name?”
“Yes! I’m Sephiro!”
“…… Whaaaaaaaaat!?”
I approached Makina, who was shocked to see Sephiro hugging her with a smile, and I told her about this place. At first, she was confused, but then she sat down and put him on her lap because Sephiro was cute.
“I see. So this place is like a dream, huh? Then, it’s because Lars, Sephiro, and I are sleeping together and I’m caught in it.”
“Maybe? But I’m happy to talk to you!”
“Me too. By the way, is Sephiro a boy?”
“No! I’m already a girl!”
“What!?”
I was surprised to hear Sephiro say that he had somehow become like that. Well, I don’t think it’s going to be a problem because he’s a tree ……
(T/N: After this, I’m going to refer to Sephiro as “she/her” every time they’re talking with Sephiro included.)
“So, what were you talking about?”
“Oh, it’s about Aiatsubus. Oh, by the way, Makina got hit by that [Unstable] completely, but were you okay?”
“…… That black haze, huh. Honestly, I think it’s something that will break your heart if you keep taking it. I’m a little embarrassed to admit it, but I felt as if my heart was being ripped out. Fortunately, I worked against the Gospel’s Descent that was interrupting my t-time with Lars, and for example, if someone hates their parents, children, or other people more than anything else, and they receive [Unstable], they will act on their thoughts.”
The darker a person’s heart is, the more likely they are to act out. So, is that why they’re drawing in people like Kelbrem and the others who they have an opportunity to take advantage of? In order to make them pawns that can be easily discarded when the time comes.
“Anyway, I’m glad that Makina is okay. I had a pretty tough time with my magic being erased.”
“It’s definitely thanks to the training with Master. I think it’s because I’m trying to keep it relaxed. Also, I’ve learned to defend myself with Lightning on my body! This is thanks to Lars.”
“Oh, that’s not fair! Me too!”
Makina, who is more sticky to me than usual due to the lack of publicity, and Sephiro, who is excited to be in a human form for the first time in a long time, are also riding on my back.
“…… I’m going to protect Big brother and big sister with [Solar Striker]. They’re the bad guys who took the lives of my mom and my friends, so I have to beat them even if it kills me ……”
“Don’t get too worked up, Sephiro. We’re not going to be beaten so easily and we don’t want to see you die, okay?”
“That’s right! You’re one of us now, so you can count on us! I have to avenge you.”
“Big brother …… Big sister …… Yes, thank you …… Ah, are you waking up?”
The moment Sephiro said this, my vision shook and blurred. The last thing I remember is the sobbing, smiling Sephiro waving her hand, and I let go of my consciousness.

“How’s it going?”
“It’s good. Even if Dibit-san were nearby, he wouldn’t have made it.”
“He’s got transfer magic …… Stay sharp, okay?”
“The Gospel’s Descent …… I wonder how long Aiatsubus can hold them off …… But it’s been over a week and there’s no sign of her coming to us, I guess I should take that it went well.”
Darva, the close associate of the former king who was planning a reverse coup, was camped away from Sandiola’s castle, waiting for an opportunity to strike. After parting ways with Aiatsubus, he had finished gathering his comrades and was planning to attack.
“Geiri-sama is in the dungeons, no doubt about it. Afmand is not a nobleman, he is an upstart commoner, so he must relaxing. That’s why we waited two years, after all.”
“So, shall we rescue Geiri-sama first?”
“Yes. It’s not that difficult to overturn things with his skills. But adventurers and castle soldiers are good at what they do, so be prepared.”
The people nodded their heads with determined eyes as I continued to tell them that I would not help them in a tight spot, and that if I were to die, I would die alone or take a companion.
“The bloodbath will be late tomorrow night. Each of you must restore your energy.”
“Understood.”
And so the battle took place in Sandiola’s castle.
It’s a stupid feeling, but I wonder if Aiatsubus will still be a threat.
Will they be able to settle the score?
Thank you for reading!

“Fuh, I’m so nervous.”
Will Lars and the others make it in time?
