"Rhine, Hurt......?

"Yes, I'm in charge of 'Brother', 'Machinery' and 'Politics'." Reinhardt. "

Claudia...... No, the existence named Reinhardt connected such words.

And to her named Reinhardt... horribly, the True and False Judgment doesn't respond.

Undoubtedly, the presence of the eye defines itself as' Reinhardt '.

"I wonder what that means?

Reinhardt answers Ultimia's natural question.

"Where did you talk from? Well, let's start by packing it from a common perception."

That said, Reinhardt points near his own heart with his left hand holding the reins.

"This Claudia Reinhardt Life has an incomparable talent."

"... right"

"One is a talent that allows you to acquire all kinds of technology"

Unlike < Master >, who was given an avatar with aptitude for every job except a special super position, Tian has aptitude for the job.

unsuitable. That, if I may say so, is the difference in talent, but Claudia was isolated from the others in that talent.

"Claudia can now do anything she wants. It could be anything. It was a coincidence that he made the spear a [punch god] for his hand, or he would have been able to complete other super positions. This is proof that he is also the [Machine King]."

…………

If Reinhardt was Claudia at the time we met at that school.

That means [Machine King] was Claudia again.

[Punch God] in the battle position and [Machine King] in the production position, it is unlikely that he is an ordinary tian at a time when he is extremizing those two at the same time.

"... although I just said 'one thing'"

"Yes. Claudia had another talent. That's why I'm here."

That said, again Reinhardt points himself with his left hand.

"That talent is the talent to modify oneself (...)"

"Modification......?

"Claudia was free to modify her own inner surface (...) if necessary. Additionally, it was only a year ago that we physically made the modification."

"... right. Claudia, I know, wasn't as weird an arm as she used to move after she chopped it off."

We've been in dorm baths together many times in the school, but at least by then we should have been biological.

"Claudia didn't have to be unharmed to deal with the Imperial Secret Service and the men they hired on Boulder. Although it was a good opportunity to try the remains of the brilliant balls found in and the prosthetics made from the data."

Reinhardt said so without looking particularly concerned as he made a crisp noise and moved his combat prosthesis.

"To return, Reinhardt (I) is the personality that Claudia has modified and created her own inner surface as needed."

And after all, without any hesitation, Reinhardt confessed so.

"It's more of a virtual personality (persona) than a multiple personality...... The soul is one of Claudia's, and I am the personality to use it separately according to the purpose."

"... Virtual Personality"

"Unlike Claudia, who weighs in on emotions, my role is to drain emotions and think, and work out measures for Claudia and the Empire. Those thoughts are not right for Claudia today."

That means that the trap pact presented at the previous harmonious meeting was also elaborated by Reinhardt, Claudia's virtual personality.

In addition, there are other advantages of virtual personality.

Even the same person can also reach conclusions that cannot be drawn alone because of differences in thought and value standards. It's in the world of, like the phrase, 'Three stop by and you'll get the wisdom of the literature'.

"... Claudia's virtual personality,"

I questioned whether I could make my own personality...... but Ultimia thought it would be possible if Claudia excelled in all techniques as well.

I didn't understand "Why can you do that to Claudia," but I could admit it was.

And from previous rheinhardt rhetoric, Ultimia thought that Claudia herself might not know the answer to 'why'.

"As for the existence of me, did you understand?

"... Yep.... Naming Reinhardt means that Claudia created her own personality close to the deceased real Reinhardt (brother)?

Why is the personality created named 'Reinhardt'?

Ultimia's questioning, which she thought was due to her feelings for her deceased brother,

"No, not at all"

He was lightly denied by "Reinhardt".

"Reinhardt Claudia Drife, who died in the first place, was a normal child who was not like Claudia or me today. It's not this machine-dyed (...) personality."

That masochism may have been a rheinhardt harmony, but... I couldn't find any element to laugh at with a look and voice that was too flat.

"Additionally, it's not two melons, even if their faces are similar because they were diegotic. But no one pointed you out about that, did they? I wasn't suspected of being the same face as Claudia just because she was a twin. I started showing my face as a Reinhardt a few years after the bomb attack, perhaps as a result of skipping the growth phase and showing this face."

Nor did Ultimia question that Reinhardt's face was more the same as Claudia's than Claudia's.

But I guess that's because that claudia and this Reinhardt entanglement atmosphere is so separate.

"And it can't be a necromance-related matter, such as the soul of the dead Reinhardt Claudia Drife residing. Expert...... because I was diagnosed by [Pluto]. There is only one soul in this body. Besides, he said his soul was still wandering at the scene of the bomb attack. [Pluto] was also asked to process it."

That's what the virtual personality 'Reinhardt' said, in a tone that doesn't even seem to have some interest in the real Reinhardt, who died at a young age.

"Then... why Reinhardt?

"Is that the origin of the name? Or is it the origin of this personality?

"... both."

To Ultimia's words, Reinhardt nods and begins to answer.

"As for the name, it was my maternal grandfather, my predecessor Barbaros Borderline Uncle, who first thought about making Reinhardt Claudia Drife live"

Ultimia didn't think that was unexpected.

She can't do it alone, like one or two roles in a public figure. At least we need help from someone close by.

And for Claudia, who lost her parents and brother, that's unlikely other than her predecessor, Borderline Uncle, who was a grandfather and an asylum.

"The reason was for Claudia's safety."

Say the words, pointing to your own face.

"Since that time, the Empire has already had a roar around the throne inside. This is like my paternal grandfather… what my predecessor, the King, had recommended."

First and second princes.

Neither of them, led by a powerful faction, could stand as a crown prince, and kept letting them compete.

[Edelbarsa] Including securing Emilio after the incident, the previous emperor was a man who chose no means to strengthen his empire.

"The darkness by the prince and his sons. In it, the thing called the Third Prince is small, but it existed. It was made up around the Barbaros Border House and several regional aristocrats."

But the line by which the third prince would become the next king was thin.

Perhaps it was natural that either the First Prince or the Second Prince would become the King, and the Third Prince would become a new Duke family as the Royal Brother, or that his son, Reinhardt, would inherit the Borderline Uncle family, his mother's home.

Nevertheless, if the first and second princes were to fall together by means of a brawl, the odds existed that they would stand as the next king, and therefore there would have been supporters.

"But Reinhardt Claudia Drife, the father and his son-in-law, who was the third prince in the bomb attack, died. If that happens, the Third Prince will disintegrate. When that happened, Uncle Borderline thought that the former Third Prince was in danger of threatening his sister with a souvenir to another."

Hence, Uncle Borderline made a certain decision.

"So I decided to 'Still Alive' Reinhardt Claudia Drife and said she was being cured at Uncle Borderline House to prevent the collapse of the Third Prince"

He told the Third Prince that Reinhardt, the son of the Third Prince, was alive and that his eyes were still there.

"... that's something I've been able to hide."

"It's a crossing. Those who know the truth are extremely partial. And pass on information of lies to those who do not have the True or False Verdict, as well as Claudia's words dressed as Reinhardt Claudia Drife in the hospital bed. The person is heard the fabricated information and assumes it to be true, and communicates it to yet others as he assumes it. Because you really need to believe it to get past the True and False Judgment with false information. Since then, my grandfather himself has always wanted to stay away from the Mansion so that I don't get a verdict."

That's how he hid Reinhardt's death, and at a good time for Kiri...... he was going to announce by the time the next king decided, 'I was continuing my healing life, but he finally died'.

Consider that by then Claudia will have a formula in place to ensure her safety.

However, one problem arises there.

"That's how I started covering it up and it seemed like I could hide it for about four years, but four years after the terrorist attacks, I was questioned about not finishing my treatment and not showing up in front of the other royal families"

That was a natural thing to say.

Instead, I can even say that I've been able to stretch it for four years a lot.

"We needed to prove the survival of Reinhardt Claudia Drife in front of the royals."

"... Prove the survival of an already dead human?

"So I really needed to believe it. When I was Reinhardt Claudia Drife, I needed a believing presence"

That way, the story leads to 'Reason'.

"Me for that...... it's" Reinhardt "from" Brother ". In front of the royals, I truly called myself" I am Reinhardt Claudia Drife "and proved my survival."

…………

A virtual personality that deceives itself enough to slip through the True or False Judgment.

The act of artificially creating it outweighs the realm of self-allusion at the earliest.

"But you..."

"Yeah, I really recognized myself as a 'Reinhardt Claudia Drive' at the time. But now I'm aware that I'm a virtual personality. Claudia was connected because she became king and no longer had to hide it."

Reinhardt was extremely light and told that he had realized himself to be false.

"But once I met you at school, I believed you were still Reinhardt himself. I only started acting as a 'Reinhardt' back then, and I lived in two roles without being aware of 'me'."

Claudia was aware of it, so she was turning to follow up and make alibis.

In particular, when Reinhardt works as [Machine King], it is only Claudia who joins him as a help.

Anyway, there's only one body.

"The miscalculation was about the mechanic system."

"The mechanic system?

"We were talking about where the story swelled up, 'Reinhardt trained as a [mechanic] during therapy and has exceptional prowess'. Smoke standing where there was no fire. Or maybe it was something that some faction flushed to discredit in its fallout from the real thing."

"... I don't think so,"

"Yes, that's why I'm the [Machine King]. I fixed it all the way because it was derogatory and I have trouble leading to exposure from it. In those days, I had fulfilled the conditions and became [Machine King]. Thanks to you, I've been entrusted with various chores."

I get more than one super position for that reason.

Well, now that he has become king of kings, he will also hold a special super position [Aircraft Emperor].

Again, Claudia was the bearer of talent that should not have been.

"The reason for the name is to that extent. And it's the reason for my personality..."

At that time, for the first time, something called 'Trouble' appeared on Reinhardt's face.

The reason for this is......

"In conclusion, my personality is close to the original Claudia (...)"

Ultimia couldn't understand the meaning of the word.

Alternatively, it was a matter that Ultimia alone could not understand.

"What personality is Claudia that you know?

"... naive, full of emotions, wielding me but somewhere cute"

"Claudia, like the noble lady's template, right?

"Yeah. It's been like that since the day we first met, hasn't it?

Reinhardt still nodded at Ultimia asking him to confirm.

"Yes, because since that day (...) Claudia has modified her personality that way (...)"

"... Huh?

"Until I was working with you, Claudia's personality was pretty much the same as mine today. That changed when I met you."

Towards Ultimia, who failed to understand the answer, Reinhardt continues his words.

"I found someone I wanted to be friends with for the first time, fell in love at first sight, worried that I had spoken to them in uncanny terms, and got my first fright (...) of 'being hated as it is'"

That's a first for Claudia.

My brain marrow, or my soul held...... a huge bug named Emotion.

But that's why she loved it.

"Then Claudia punched her forehead, as you know, and hung it for about ten seconds... and radically remodeled her personality to what is now Claudia (...)"

…………

"Base would be someone from the noble warrant who was about to be friends with Claudia, one of the Crown Princesses, before he was bombed. Because that's all Claudia should have known about people trying to be friends with. To be friends with you, I traced it, incorporated it, and modified my personality. That's my first personality modification, but I've done it."

Neither did non-standard Claudia find any significance in modifying her own personality until then.

I knew that my own personality modification was' possible ', but I did not acknowledge the need to modify it.

He was thus a machine-like personality, neither male nor female, spending his days digesting.

But what drove her to the need to change herself (...)... was meeting Ultimia in a hurry (...) that she might hate.

People might call it anxiety or fear... or first love (eye).

"Then that personality is Claudia's default." I "just dug up this type of personality that I was used to later on when I created my 'Reinhardt' personality."

Therefore, it was only natural that I remembered Claudia when I first met her when I switched between the two moments earlier.

And in a way, it also means Reinhardt is' brother '... old as a personality (eye) snail.

Big emotional twists born in the encounter have become bugs to create their own personality, and now they take their former calm self as a virtual personality to aid them.

A calmly auxiliary virtual personality (Reinhardt) and a loving Claudia are running in parallel in a machine called Flesh.

That was the presence of the King, Claudia Reinhardt Drife.

"This is us, Claudia and Reinhardt. What did they think, Ultimia"

…………

Claudia Reinhardt Drife's secrets were confessed and told that Ultimia was a factor that made a huge difference to her,

- I'm relieved.

- Both Claudia and Reinhardt said words they never imagined.

"................................. Huh?

But there is no shush in her words, her very heart.

Or if you were lying or loathing, you would have stayed calmer.

"... An, a heart?

"Yeah. Don't worry. Really, I feel like you've been under pressure since you started talking as Reinhardt, but I'm finally relieved."

"Why, peace of mind, etc...? Isn't it horrible? This, we..."

'Reinhardt' slightly floated the feelings of doubt and… and anxiety.

To that inquiry,

"No, I'm not scared any more. Because..."

Ultimia is

"Claudia is Claudia."

No lies, no feelings, no vanity whatsoever, that's what I said.

"You said you were afraid that I would hate you because of the modification. That kind of boldness, but the truth is, the cowardice hasn't changed in forever. Claudia."

"What... and I..."

"I wonder what time it was. You once jumped out after you hugged me, worried about the smell of oil."

…………

"I wonder what time it was. Sometimes the bard tells me I'm scared, and I used to roll around in the middle of the night with a pillow next to my bed."

…………

"I'm afraid they'll hate me. But I want to get along, I keep wanting to be by my side. You're such a cute friend..."

Ultimia looked straight at Reinhardt - Claudia,

"My best friend. Not now, not ever, not again."

Yes, I assured you.

After hearing all the confessions...... that was Ultimia's conclusion.

Still unchanged, being my best friend... is the word of my heart.

"... Huh?

If you notice, Reinhardt was... Claudia was... crying.

That face, which brings forth tears, … was one of two personalities?

... No, it doesn't change either way.

There was a tear from the heart of Claudia Reinhardt Drife...... there it was.

Ultimia stares at her like that with tender eyes.

At the same time, he whined about a question.

"... and you've really told me everything"

Claudia of "Reinhardt" has finished talking about what should be called the empire's biggest secret.

Even within the Empire, there are only five people who know Tian and < master > combined.

"Why did you tell me everything?

"... because they asked me"

The silent 'Reinhardt' said so with a potpourri,

"Claudia (we) don't want to lie to you, my love."

Like squeezing emotions, that's what I said.

Ultimia is convinced by the words.

'Speaking of which, you never lied at a pageant, nor did you silently end the answers asked', he said.

In contrast to her like that, 'Reinhardt' overlaps words.

"And I'm not even going to lie"

"... yes"

Ultimia knew what she was trying to say.

Because we already tell each other how we feel.

"Claudia Reinhardt Drife has become king of kings. If you are a king, you need to carry out any evil or outrageous deeds to keep your country alive. And... one more thing"

She looked straight at Ultimia,

"We will defeat you here, take you home, and be your own."

Taking away Ultimia herself, she tells again.

"I want the kingdom to keep the empire alive as king. But another purpose...... wanting you is just selfishness. I want you to be more special to us than anyone else, and I want you to stay by my side until the end of the day."

My desire as an individual, separate from any plot to save the Empire... is there.

"And... I'm not willing to stop this one either because I'm selfish. So..."

That's how 'Reinhardt' put his forehead on the spear again,

"So... let's make it work! Until you're done, until you're settled, decide here a moment to get the Eternity!

When I looked up again - there was a face there as' Claudia ', a lump of emotion.

"Yes."

To her like that, Ultimia responds, as she once did.

"But I won't let you lose. For my sisters... and for them fighting on the ground. I'm serious from here... I'm gonna kill you (...) and I'm gonna fight you"

The staggering up to the last minute was outweighed by everything.

That is not due solely to Claudia's remarkable skill.

Cut if touched... Ultimia herself waving a special sword she couldn't add or subtract had narrowed the aim of the slaughter to anything but steep (...) so as not to kill her best friend.

But at the earliest, Ultimia does not impose that bondage on herself.

I decided to do everything myself to my best friend who revealed everything to me.

And I believed that if you were my best friend - you would survive on it.

"So don't die - Claudia!!"

"Yes! Seriously, whether you mean it or not...... let's siai! - Ultimia!!"

And - the two move out again.

After communicating each other's hearts, we cross blades and spears again for wishes that still cannot be given way.

Words are not needed at the earliest.

No hiding at the earliest.

Until the settlement, do everything you can.

Each other's minds are in one.

Over and over again, the two matches came to a true one here.

To be continued
