Monster no Goshujin-sama

14 - Lily Perspective

"Oh, my God..."

I stood still.

I couldn't take what happened in front of me.

The incident that struck us tonight was too glaring.

The three Fire Fangs that showed up.

Another monster of distinctly different stature, attacked by an arrow tip that tried to unite its forces against them...

That monster, with the ugly shape of a woman's monster growing on top of a large spider, was what the colony called Arakune.

At a time when I myself had wandered through the woods as a slime, I had seen it not once.

But the individual who appeared before us had a different dimension that existed than what I had seen so far.

- Beautifully demonic, white spider.

Even if I just remember, my hair keeps coming back to me.

The white Arakune who appeared first let them kill two Fire Fangs in a flash.

And he drew your husband with thread to captivate him, following a gap in our consciousness that was flashing.

At that time I was slightly away from your husband to intercept Fire Fang, so I was completely behind.

Rose responded instantly instead.

But when she was distanced in a breath by Arakune, she was blown away at ease with a thrust of her forelimbs.

Arakune has a special means of attack called spider yarn, but on the other hand, he shouldn't be good at simple melee fights, either.

Yet that Rose was hit with only one blow.

The original Arakune is not as powerful a monster as that.

It was no longer doubtful that that was an exceptional monster with the power to fight.

If we had fought like that, we would have been wiped out.

That did not happen simply because white Arakune was not in our eyes or anything else.

Bringing Rose under one blow, White Arakune left the scene just saying his purpose had already been achieved.... take your husband.

Of course, I tried to follow the rest soon, too.

But the white Arakune has been obstructing me by spider threads.

It was too unfavourable to challenge an Arakune opponent with the nature of a creature specializing in 'waiting': a spider.

If I could have used magic, there could still have been something I could have chased after. But given the danger of involving your husband in the hands of the enemy, I had to hesitate to exercise my magic.

While I was caught in the thread and was only a few seconds away, the figure of the great spider disappeared into the darkness of the forest.

With your husband.

Yes. It's your husband.

Your husband. Your husband. Your husband.

Your husband. Your husband. Your husband. Your husband. My lord!

"... ah"

I need to take your husband back!

"Rose!"

I called my most trusted sister's name.

"You must be safe! Come on! Wake up, we need to go after your husband!

It was Rose who took a blow, but he won't be hit to that extent.

Yes, I believed.

The loyalty that Rose offers to her husband may exceed the love I offer him.

Congratulations and she couldn't have died while they took your husband.

"... excuse me. Sister Lily. I took unconsciousness."

And Rose appeared out of the darkness of the woods.

Seeing that, I... I lost much of my relief and was about to melt by accident.

So I finally realized that I had been anxious for a long time.

- I'm worried you've lost your pretty little sister's share.

- Anxiety that I might have to face that mighty monster by myself.

I was free from those worries that I was trying to stay strong and not look at, and my tear glands seemed to loosen at the same time as my feelings.

But now is not the time to cry.

"It's okay. Wait, I'll treat you soon."

I tightened my feelings of loosening and began to heal magic on Rose.

"What do you say? Can we fight?

"Yep. But... one arm doesn't seem to work anymore"

Seeing, the left arm, which had a shield, had a big hole in the middle of its forearm and was barely just partly connected.

The shield was broken in two and rolled where it was attacked.

Regardless of the finesse or distortion, this is beyond my healing magic to boulders.

"Unless it's impudent to have this kind of thing with just one poke"

"Yeah. That's not true"

Rather, it was the boulder that stood up to him in that instant.

If I had eaten defenselessly, Rose's doll's body would have been shattered by now.

Of course, if you put it in person, such praise wouldn't even be comforting at the time your husband was taken away. Through the pass, her heart was being twisted and scorched with remorse was being conveyed.

"If it was Sister Lily who was beside your husband, this would not..."

"I can't do that. Even I had the same result."

This was not just a dialogue of comfort.

Surely I would be stronger with me and Rose today.

I'm Mimic Slime.

Its ability is to prey on others and acquire the simulated abilities associated with it.

What I have preyed on so far are Magical Papette, Fire Fang, Trent, and Miho Mizushima. All are only original degraded copies, but I can use those powers at the same time.

Depending on the terms, if you fight with everything you can have, I should probably have a good chance of getting Rose down.

But still no match for that white Arakune.

If you fight Baidu, Baidu will be killed. There was so much difference in strength between her and me.

"Hi Monster......"

Perhaps that is outside the frame of the monster.

There are so many enemies in this forest.

Me, a unique monster that's not for combat, or Rose, who's somewhat of a rare individual, there's no chance of winning that one, even if we join forces.

But that had nothing to do with it.

"Even if he dies, your husband needs to take it back"

"Naturally. Even in our stead, your husband will save you."

Our feelings were one.

Only your husband will protect you even if you try to destroy yourself.

Because that is where our families are.

... Yes. It's supposed to be.

That is why I was in doubt.

"That white spider... was one and the same family as us"

At first I thought it was some kind of mistake, but surely that was a family monster.

Our families are connected by a pass through your husband, so we know that each other is.

Through the pass I was even feeling her strong desire.

If you dare to language it, would this be the place?

"'This is mine'. - That's what she thinks via the pass."

In retrospect, I felt chills in my selflessness until its violent.

I prayed that the reason she grabbed your husband did not lead to harm to him.

"I interpreted her intentions in the same way,"

Rose nodded and agreed with me.

"I don't know where the source of that desire is, but in any case, I have no doubt that she took away your husband just to satisfy her own desires"

"Right. It's not something you can forgive."

"It's just that it's unlikely that you'll kill your husband soon enough that you've taken him away from him. That's all you can call a painfully secure ingredient."

"That may be true...... but I don't even think I care enough for your husband"

I was unconsciously biting my back teeth.

"You saw Rose, too. Maybe your husband was badly hurt when he kidnapped you."

Fortunately, there didn't seem to be any fatal wounds that could be life-threatening, but it still makes no difference that the injuries he sustained were serious.

I came to pass, the pain your husband felt.

Just to think back on it, I now feel like the fake halibut that exists is going to boil back by simulating it.

"Please calm down, Sister Lily"

"I know!

In reflexive terms, I bit my teeth.

By now, your husband is in pain.

Thinking about it, I can no longer be there or not, and soon I'm about to pop out of this place.

"Anyway, we need to go after your husband soon..."

As I felt deviant, I exhorted Rose.

It was then.

"Mr. Lily. Mr. Rose."

From a completely forgotten being, the voice was called.

"It's nice to go after Senior Mashima... is he alive in the first place?

I glanced in the direction of my voice reflexively.

"Alive! Don't be silly!

There was a human girl of the same race as your husband.

One younger girl, protected by your husband.

His name is Kato Makoto.

He was once a close acquaintance of Miho Mizushima, whom I simulate.

"Sorry, Mr. Kato"

Before I said anything, Rose came forward.

It is rare, but this must have been my offering. And now that I had found it, I had made a face for my sister, and I had decided to sit down here. Of course, the inner mind is not calm. It was unacceptable to even think of the possibility that your husband would die.

"We didn't forget Kato's presence either, because it's an emergency right now"

"I know. You're going, right?

"Yes, we must go after your husband"

"I don't mind chasing you. Are you sure he's alive?

The anger in me is about to flare up against Kato, who repeats the earlier question, but there was no way he moved on the corresponding Rose.

"Of course, I'm sure. Your husband is alive. Because our consciousness is more than proof that your husband is safe."

"What do you mean?

"We had no firm will when we were originally monsters"

Rose responded to Kato's question with a pale voice.

There are no emotions there, such as haste or anger, that were there until a few seconds ago.

She keeps calm.

Unlike me.

"When I was just a monster, I was thin."

Rose talks in a calm voice about her - no. It was a trajectory until we monsters became family members.

"To me, the memory of when I was just a monster is almost as tasteless and dry as watching recorded footage. But not now."

"Well, hey, seniors...?

"Yes, I established myself and realized that I was alive that day, at that time, in that place… the moment I met your husband, wandering through the woods to be guided"

There was just joy in Rose's words that spoke that way.

That's all, the memory of that moment must have been vivid for her.

That was the same thing for me given the name Lily.

- That day, that time, in that cave.

I met your husband.

I accidentally ate my arm at first, but soon found out 'no'.

This is not what I eat.

Rather, I even wanted to be eaten... it's a secret to your husband, too.

Whatever, I met him, and was asked, to gain myself as a result.

At that moment, for the first time in my world, a thing called color was born.

For the first time, I was born in this world, wishing and desiring.

In that sense, your husband is equal to our mother where we are human beings.

Our families love your husband from the bottom of their hearts.

And luckily your husband loves us, too.

Even in that sense, it could be said that the relationship is very similar to that of parents and children.

... and this is only because of Miho Mizushima's memory that he has only spoken our relationship so that it is easy for man to understand, in fact, your husband is your husband for us.

Crazily loving, absolute to me.

We were born to fulfill your husband's wishes.

So if that man dies, he will disappear forever from this boring self of mine.

That hasn't happened means your husband is safe.

Your husband must still be waiting for our help.

So.

"Rose! I don't want to talk about that, we have to hurry!

A sense of impatience drives my whole body.

So much so that even this heart seems to burn out.

"But, sister"

In contrast to me, Rose calmly told me that she had regained control of her emotions.

"What are you going to do about Kato?

"... ah"

It was a problem that was completely out of my mind.

I now realize why Mr. Kato sandwiched his mouth in our interaction. Rather, that was natural. Anyway, if Kato leaves us, there's no way out.

"Your husband has decided to protect Kato."

As Rose stroked around the elbow of her broken arm, her unusable arm came off her elbow and fell to the ground with a sledge.

"You can't leave her alone in our presence,"

Rose has spoken to me as she took the spare arm out of the bathroom using the fur of Fire Fang.

"So, but your husband was taken, and that's..."

"That doesn't mean you can make short circuit decisions. Sister Lily. It's times like this that you have to calm down."

"Wow, I am! Calm down!"

"No, my sister lost me."

"Ku......!

Oh, yeah. I am not calm.

Are you calm or something?

There is no him beside me.

That's all I'm going crazy about.

In that regard, Rose was still calm.

And Mr. Kato was also keeping calm again.

"I don't care if you leave me."

Mr. Kato suddenly said such a thing, so we all turned our faces to her.

I was confused by what she said.

Until then I thought that Mr. Kato would have come out because we had witnessed that we were going to let her go and go to your husband's rescue.

In fact, being left alone in this forest almost amounts to a death sentence for her. It was that I would be desperate not to be abandoned.

But in fact, she says, 'I don't mind leaving' if she opens her mouth.

Honestly, I didn't know why.

"Mr. Kato. May I ask what you intend to say now?

Much different from each other, Rose asked frankly what the intention was.

"It means as it is. If you want to leave me, you can leave me, I don't mind. Just..."

Kato lay her words pale with a calm, usual look.

"If it's possible, I'd like you to take me with you, too. I think I can help."

That was an unexpected suggestion.

The reason she tries to accompany us is not to spare her life.

Because it helps, she wants to accompany us.

I asked without concealing my surprise.

"What happens when you come?

"At least you will not have to turn away from your master and leave me alone. Besides, when it comes to helping your husband, there's a lot of bullet... No. Even if that's not possible, it might help to the extent of 'bait'."

……

Indeed, by taking Mr. Kato, we do not have to abandon the orders that are being given by your master.

Your husband is disciplined, so even though he's in a crisis of his own, he shouldn't abandon Kato. Nor was it difficult to imagine, assuming that Mr. Kato would die, that he would suffer a wound so great that it would not be comparable to the case of Kaga or anything else.

The downside, on the contrary, is that we have the foothold of her.

Because, as Kato himself says, it doesn't seem that bad if you think you're going to take the 'bait' to replace your husband.

"... I can't. I can't give you permission."

But what I uttered was a clear word of rejection.

"I can't, can I? May I ask why?

"Reason? I don't know, it's settled. You are untrustworthy. That's all."

An earlier line of pros and cons was made on the assumption that she would not betray us.

She is not a relative like us.

Human.

Humans hurt your husband. Betrayed.

Humans are creatures of betrayal.

At least, that's never going to be zero.

It's about your husband's life.

It's just enough to be thorough and careful.

You couldn't have taken her, an element of uncertainty.

In the first place, I was against taking her on your husband's journey.

Only I, because your husband wanted it so strongly, did that place just fall apart.

"I can't take a 'human' who can't be trusted into this emergency. Something I don't know what's going to happen."

This was my conclusion.

"Really? Too bad."

Mr. Kato took the words I had spoken lightly without being so dismayed.

"You're not very disappointed."

'Cause I thought Mr. Lily would be.'

"... what do you mean?

I lurked my brow.

"That's what you thought? Why?"

"'Cause, Mr. Lily, you've been on guard about me, haven't you?

Mr. Kato answered my question as he touched the offering on his shoulder.

"Mr. Lily was stuck with Senior Mashima at 46: 00 for a senior escort, right?

……

I was stunned.

It was surprising.

The same is true of the fact that she had noticed my intention not even to speak to your husband except Rose, but I could not hide my surprise that she could 'speak' so far.

I thought it looked like a loose shell, but he spins his head and mouth more than he thought.

"Well, it seemed like half of it was useful."

"Shut up."

Then again, the survey is sharp.

I questioned myself in a tone that I knew was prickly.

"When did you realize that? I'm on your guard."

"That's well, from the beginning.... I would notice if they only looked at that. You can't take someone you're so vigilant with."

Kato was right about all of them.

I was here, and I had to change my perception.

It's hard to tell because she's untouched and has a thin expression, but by no means does a girl named Mana Kato neglect people's emotional subtleties.

Rather it has a very sharp sensibility.

But for that matter, there were some things that were too far-fetched.

"Really, I was surprised that you were aware of my thoughts"

I told him in a tone that seemed stiff to me.

"But what are we going to do by pointing that out? If you're sharp, you're sharp, not just stir up my vigilance."

I was beginning to think, more and more, that I could not take her with me.

If you are a cutter, the risk increases when you are betrayed.

Because we may act without our thoughts, either.

"I reject the proposal. Let's go, Rose."

The conclusion remains unchanged. I looked back to Rose.

"Sister. But......"

Rose still seemed wondering what was going on.

Perhaps she has great hesitation in renouncing the order she was given once, when the emotions directed at her husband are greater and more loyal than mine.

I started choosing words to persuade Rose.

But it was faster for Mr. Kato to chase me than I put it on my lips.

"Are you sure I can't be taken?

"I'm going to."

And I did not look back, nor answered my lips.

"Really?"

"Yes."

"No matter how much you ask?

"You, too dangerous"

"As long as it takes."

Behind me, I heard a sigh.

"That's the most likely opinion."

……

I frowned naturally.

Whether he was doing it deliberately or not, there was something in Kato's story right now that backstroked my emotions that even he said were just for me.

"What do you want?

"Is that really due to rational judgment," he asks.

"What does that mean?

I finally looked back at Mr. Kato in a rumble that cannot be ignored by the boulders.

And so our gaze crossed...

"Huh!?

- My goosebumps appeared on my skin.

I had no idea what had happened to me.

I just confronted Mr. Kato.

Nothing about Kato has changed.

Flat tone.

Gloomy expression.

They were a girl named Mana Kato, who looked no different than before.

So there is not one thing that I wolf face to face with her...

... No.

It wasn't.

Only in one place, there was a part that was decidedly different from her so far.

Eyes.

Her eyes are different.

Her two eyes had something shimmering at the bottom of her eyes, as if she thought of something.

That was what caused my spine to run chills.

- When I thought about it later, I was a loose end.

Blood was rising on my head. I had not been able to make a calm decision.

So I even missaw the girl in front of me.

All I could say was really stupid.

Faced with this emergency...... I didn't realize until this very moment that the spirit of a girl named Mana Kato was finally coming back to life.

"Don't you think Lily just doesn't like me?

"... ah, huh?

For some reason I had no words to return to the dialogue that could also be taken as an insult.

Observing me like that, Mr. Kato nodded one.

"I know. Mr. Lily, you don't like me, do you?

It was a dialogue that protruded the knife into the softest part of me.

"Are you saying..."

"So, you know what I mean."

Nor does the dialogues of deception work.

"Mr. Lily is slime, isn't she? Was it Mimic Slime? Ability was another person's fiction, wasn't it? Using that power, you are imitating Senior Mizushima. The way you talk, and the way you trick. You are Senior Mizushima himself. I was close to Senior Mizushima. I don't know about Mr. Lily, but if you're talking about Senior Mizushima, I know all the details."

Don't say the right thing.

Mr. Kato's voice was too full of certainty for me to insist.

Besides, above all, my own heart had recognized her claim.

... How could you not have noticed? I should not have turned her against the enemy.

She had a delicate sensibility like a girl, she knew my pseudo-Mizushima Miho, and she was given so much time to make observations and thoughts to dissect an individual named me that there was usually nothing she could do.

It was too incompatible.

For me, Miho Mizushima's likeness, Kato Makoto, who knows her well, was a natural enemy.

"Wow, I..."

The anger that was burning hot was freezing to freezing at once.

I had even begun to have a clear fear of the presence of a girl in front of me who could easily kill me if I wanted to.

And... 'I know,' she said.

So even my fear, which I began to hold, is on her palm.

"Isn't Mr. Lily envious of me?"

"That's not... I'm not. I envy you, I can't believe..."

"That's a lie. You hate me, because I envy you..."

"No... I don't want to hear it"

I can't do this.

I am about to be heard the fact that I am so disgusted that I am no longer able to maintain this pseudo-physical body.

I tried to block my ears.

But it was faster for Kato to pierce the knife of words than that.

"Why are you so jealous... because I'm human, just like your dear husband?

This was Todome.

The dialogue Mr. Kato has thrown at me was nothing more than a sharp, dangerous knife of words that exposes what I have hidden in this pseudo body.

"Therefore thou art jealous of my envy.... is it not?

- No, it's not.

Before reason, the emotional part had admitted her point.

... right.

I can't help but envy Kato, who is a human being.

I'm a monster.

I look like this now, but I am only an inherently ugly monster.

I'm just impersonating a human being.

And being fictional means being a phony for no reason.

No matter how much I love your husband - I can never be a human being.

So I have always had anxiety.

It's still such a natural anxiety that humans are probably the best.

At least, that's natural, 10,000 people will admit.

Not now.

Your husband hates humans, so 'things like me' can be nearest.

Nothing. I don't want to be nearest to him.

Happy if I can stay, but I don't mind giving it up to others there.

Because we who are family belong to your master, but your master does not belong to our family.

It is enough for me to be near him.

But.

But...

If your husband reconciles himself with a human...

If the deep heartbreak he suffered heals...

Wouldn't monsters like me then be unable to even have them put nearby?

That was not an unfounded concern.

I know.

I am the first of your husband's family.

I am with you from that very first moment, when your husband, who was once a 'good and serious student of man', became 'current master'.

So I know.

I am the only one in this world who knows.

The truth about your husband.

Your husband broke his body and heart, desperate to believe nothing else, and the moment he saw death in front of him, he wished this.

- Somebody help me.

This is a clear, contradictory dialogue.

Because someone desperate to believe no one else anymore 'asked someone else for help' on the verge of death.

Impossible.

It doesn't make sense.

Contradictions, they are.

But... if you think about it, this isn't so strange either.

It is a common story that putting oneself in the frontier of life and death changes values.

Your husband would be like this.

But is it possible that all the values that have been cultivated between fulfilling and then will be turned upside down without remaining?

Even if it has been turned upside down, how many things do you not see as residue there?

Will the seventeen years spent by the boy be light?

I wonder if I'm making too many fools of the boy for half his life for whatever it takes to think that it's natural that all of his things will disappear one way or another.

I mean, that's what this is about.

- Your husband, with a deep heart wound, can't believe a human being.

- Meanwhile, even now, your husband wants to believe in others somewhere in his heart.

That was the deadly contradiction held by a seventeen-year-old boy named Takahiro Mashima.

In great contradiction, the mind was twitched, strained, and gaps formed, all of which were visible to collapse.

Our family only slipped into the gap of mind that was thus made.

I have always been anxious because of that awareness.

Will I not be needed by your master one day?

It was my secret... but unparalleled and great fear.

Therefore, I cannot deny what Kato said.

I can't help but envy humans. That's a very big thought... something that could push me away from everything.

If that is the reason for refusing to accompany Kato, a human being, on this occasion…

That's too ugly an act.

What if, what if that's right...

I can't believe I deserve to be beside your husband...

"Could you keep it around, Kato?"

I was on the verge of collapsing without even being able to keep the contour.

"Lily, I was watching you until your sister's head got cold..."

The voice of a faintly feverish woman cleaved the thread of tension between us.

I give you a face that I did not know to lean over.

A wooden back was protecting me.

"No matter how much, isn't it too much?

When Rose interrupted between me and Mr. Kato, he made a chirping noise and connected to the left arm that had lost the spare arm.

The sound shook the forest air, as if it were a threat from a beast.

"Please stop switching stories, Mr. Kato"

"What are you talking about?

"Maybe it's true that Sister Lily doesn't like you. But isn't that a different matter and whether or not I'm taking you"

Rose's voice was a little angry.

He was angry for me.

"You are deliberately linking the two. That's how I'm hunting down Sister Lily. I can't miss it."

……

Mr. Kato had been silent for a while and sneered at Rose.

After a few seconds, one sigh was exhaled.

"Well, Mr. Rose will find out about the boulder, won't he?"

With that said, Kato lowered his brow butt looking bad.

Only then did the shadow of the girl who had overwhelmed me until just now disappear.

"I'm sorry. I'll say. I don't know if you'll forgive me."

There she was, with the usual slightly dark impression, a young looking girl.

"If you're reading so much about Sister Lily, don't you also know that your sister wasn't trying to exclude you with her own selfish emotions?

"Right. Mr. Lily is just suspicious. Cautious, because it just matters about Senior Mashima. The question of whether to take me or not has nothing to do with the jealousy Lily has."

And even I admit that I was skilfully guiding the conversation.

How disgusting.

I had no choice but to keep an eye on how things were going.

"... and that is. Sister Lily."

Rose, who finished the conversation, turned her body toward this one.

"Rose, I..."

"Don't worry, Sister Lily. My sister is not such a selfish person. I guarantee you that."

Rose softened her tone slightly.

Finally, I was able to catch up.

But at the same time.

I couldn't even take Rose's words as they were.

"But I envy you..."

The words Rose put on me were sweet.

But that alone did not clear up the fear I had.

"I... do think I envy Kato..."

Kato's point sharply dictated one side of me that I had never tried to see before.

"Jealous, I might be..."

I couldn't pretend I didn't know, anymore.

"If your husband finds out you have such dirty feelings... he'll hate you"

Your husband despaired of human filth.

Seeing him sink into a muddy of despair in front of me, I wanted to heal his heart.

I decided that it would be.

So I - I had to be prettier than anyone else.

I have been meditating my eyes on the jealousy in me because I could not have recognized those feelings in me.

Knowing such a dirty part of me, your husband may hate me.

I was afraid of it.

That was more intolerable than anything else.

When I think about it, I'm scared, scared, I don't know what else to do, so I lay low, I tremble, I'm scared, I'm about to cry...

"I don't have that"

- I was told, as a matter of course, that the word of denial made it right.

"Huh?"

Rose stares at me with a cheeky face.

What are you talking about, sister? But just saying.

"... Huh?

"I do not understand human finesse. Sister Lily's mourning is hard to understand."

Rose gently wiped the tears in my eyes.

"But that's why I think Sister Lily, so anxiously confused, is very human"

Rose's words were even what seemed to me to be a heavenly revelation, locked in a shell of young assumptions.

"Human, of...?

"Yeah. Your husband should like that about your sister. That's all I know. It's just a wooden doll."

"Indeed."

It was, to my surprise, Mr Kato who agreed to this.

"Rather than dirty, that's the realm of raw odor as a human being, isn't it? If the person you like doesn't have any anxiety in their relationship, if they don't give you one piece of jealousy...... maybe the boy won't be confident, will he? A little bit of chi, isn't it rather adorable?

"... you say that?

She's the one who exposed my harrows that I don't even want to see.

There was resentment. When I stared with my eyes, Mr. Kato slipped his gaze slightly.

That was a rare, extremely normal day-to-day, girl-like attitude.

"Uh, that. Are you saying that such a depressing way was unexpected? As far as I'm concerned, it would have been nice if Mr. Lilly had questioned his decision. I hope you never imagined that you didn't know that from such a basic cot..."

And, inadvertently, Kato cut the excuse dialogue.

A very soft look floated on my face, which was just gloomy.

A look like a girl who finds something important, would you pass it on?

While I was distracted by Mr. Kato's change, she said in a somewhat lighter tone than usual.

"You're blunt when it comes to 'as usual' boys. Well, that doesn't seem to be all for now."

"Shut up."

... Is that it?

I turned back reflexively, tilting my neck in my heart.

Although I missed asking because I was told to rustle...... didn't Kato say anything strange right now?

Besides, what is it? Something... Something, I feel so nostalgic right now.

What was it? I don't know.

Mr. Kato has already returned to his usual faceless expression.

And I looked upon her, and she also looked upon me.

Just for a moment, as sparing the miracle that happened, we were staring at each other for a few seconds.

"Well, where my sister got back on her feet, I'll get back to the beginning."

It was, as always, the voice of a calm and settled Rose that brought me back to reality that was frightening.
