Episode XVI: Stopping by

- There was a werewolf species (Wearwolf) called Marwin Johannes.

- There was a flaming ghost named Bertoga.

- There was a nobleman named Olivia Elliestille.

- There was a water ghost named Dionis Harberg.

- There was a couple of alchemists (alchemists) named George Ignace Elvanacht and Lily Famina Elvanacht.

- There was a diocesan knight named Marx Pietro Sandalfon.

- There was a magician named Luzas Gilburn.

- And there was a demon clan called Hilde Garda.

The ones who betrayed me and laughed at me.

For self-preservation, for self-expression, for research, to bury inferiority, for money, for profit, for revenge, for entertainment - they stepped on me.

I hated them and myself.

I hated myself for not realizing I was being mocked, resented, and in peace.

Captured by hatred, I couldn't think of anything else.

That's why I've avenged them.

They burned him to death, poisoned him, let the worms eat him, drowned him, sucked on his magic, fed him with his half body, broke him from the front, beat him to hell of pain.

Without one exception, I've killed him.

Now we were supposed to finally move on.

I should have finally been able to step forward on my own feet, off the shackles of hatred that bind me.

Me, Elfi and Beldia.

And the four of us in Lucifina were supposed to move on.

Though the path has been closed forever.

My revenge is over.

Whoever betrayed me, killed them all.

But.

I am.

I...

◆

After Orteguia left, the Great Forest made a fuss.

I wonder if the labyrinth has fallen, if it vanishes without a trace, it will also be a noise.

Sepul told me that the Great Forest was sending warriors for each district to investigate the labyrinth.

For a while, the Great Forest will also be in a hurry.

I'm on a hill outside the Great Forest right now.

Nice view, warm place in the sun.

There, I erected the tomb of Lucifina.

The truth is, I wanted to make it into the village or kingdom where Lucifina was born.

But there are no more villages, and we cannot set foot in the kingdom.

So I made it here with a great view.

He said Sepul got permission, and he'd take care of it.

I'll try to come as far as I can.

Don't let Lucifina miss you.

"Hey, Lucifina. When I first came to this world, I was very anxious."

Everyone tells me to fight.

When I say I don't want to fight, I turn my anger to the 'brave' habit.

All he ever thought about was using me.

"That's why I was so happy that Lucifina saved me that night when I was about to be killed."

I was relieved that someone on my side was in this world.

"... in the end, I couldn't tell you. Actually, I was in love with Lucifina at first sight then."

Even in the original world, I used to like someone.

But that, seeing as I'm in love around, I just vaguely thought I had to like someone myself.

It was the first time Lucifina had such an emotion that her chest would get hot, she would inadvertently stop breathing.

"So Lucifina's final words...... I was so happy"

Enough to make me cry.

"... it's me. I enjoyed my trip with Lucifina and the others. It was great fun moving towards the same goal with my people looking at me. But when they betrayed me, it was all a farce, 'cause I thought all my memories faded."

In fact, Luisas and Dionis were spending time with me with one thing in their bellies.

So are the others.

There were a lot of guys who were just rubbing against me for saying things that were pleasant to hear.

"But still... I was glad to know that the time I spent with Lucifina was real"

In my faded time, there was truth.

I know that, I'm relieved.

That's why.

Took it away, he hates it.

"You wanted to introduce Lucifina to Elfi and Beldia properly. I especially wanted to talk about Elfi. He's selfish and a cannibal, but he's a really sweet guy. I don't think the Demons, the humans, the subhumans, they could have gotten along without such brackets."

The way you talk, the character, they're two completely different people.

We must have gotten along.

"The four of us, we went out for some delicious food, Lucifina made a fuss about cooking, and Elfi's selfishness swung around. We should have been able to start over."

I don't know, wipe the tears that were flowing.

"You talked about it before. I want to make a world where everyone can smile."

I wish there was a world like that.

"But everyone betrayed me, and I couldn't believe the world like that. I even thought it was crap."

It was a sweet dream, enough to make me laugh myself.

"... but Elfi had the same dream as me back in the day. Even now that my men have betrayed me for giving up crap, Elfi keeps wanting to make it happen."

It's something I couldn't do.

"Lucifina, too, right? Thirty years later, after seeing hell, you kept thinking there was a world where no one would get hurt."

I kept hoping that there would be a world where no one would get hurt.

That's what I couldn't do.

Both Elfi and Lucifina, because I truly believe and respect them.

I don't know what's right.

"I don't know what to do or what's right anymore"

You can't keep running toward your mind (Ritsu), like a hero amatsu.

"There's only one thing I can think of."

Looking to Lucifina's grave, I say.

"- Some people are not worth living in a world where no one gets hurt"

Mocking people, stomping on them, unscrupulous crumbs.

There are plenty of unqualified people in the world that Lucifina wished for.

I've killed those people.

"I thought revenge would open my sight. I believed I could move on with my own feet and get the right answer again. But I don't think so. I can't move on yet."

So.

"Just for a little while, I'll stop by. Now it's time to walk forward."

That's what I say, I turn my back on Lucifina.

"See you, Lucifina."

I'll see you soon, just wait a minute.

So, look back.

- You kept me waiting.

He waited for me in the back, I can see Elfi and Beldia.

"Is that good enough for you?

"Oh."

I'm going to ask Elfi to think about it. Nod.

Now I've told you everything I can tell you.
