Myne swung her black axe up, aiming at the kneeling me. She then said.
[Even after I told you……not to touch Tenryu.]
[Even so I don’t have any other choice.]
If I die, I want to die as myself. Blood continued flowing out from my eyes, blurring my sight in crimson color. I felt like I could go insane at any time now.
Myne didn’t make any move yet. But she replied after a while.
[Very well.]
At that moment, memories of my life flashed in my mind. It started at the Kingdom, Roxy helping me escape the Burixes…….how I talked about many things to the barkeep on the tavern I frequented.
Then, leaving the royal capital for Roxy, visiting my hometown, and meeting the Sword Saint Aaron. I promised Aaron to visit him again after I concluded my journey, but it seems that I can’t fulfill it. It’s shame that I can’t see what the reconstructed Hausen looked like.
[Myne, hurry!]
[Doooooooooooon’t!]
I heard an unexpected voice. Following that voice, I was rolling on the ground after someone seemingly shoved me. Probably the owner of that voice.
[What in the world….are you trying to do!]
[…Roxy-sama…!]
[I….I can’t dislike Fate for something like this. Fate is Fate! That’s why, please don’t do this.]
[This is….what on earth…]
Roxy smiled and reached out to my hand, which was trembling due to me having experienced the phenomenon that supposedly impossible.
[Now, let’s go back to Babylon.]
I couldn’t forget that look on Roxy’s face from back then. Back when I was still just a simple gatekeeper. Helping me who had just been attacked by Rafal of Burix, extending her hand to me…. Right now she had the same look as that time.
This made me aware of one thing.
Accepting Roxy’s hand, I could feel it deep inside my heart. From that point on, I wouldn’t lie to her about what I felt anymore.

Luna’s voice could be heard.
『You’ve found it, your pillar…………』
[Eleven o’clock…?]
The blue haired Eris and the white haired Myne entered the room. Somehow…….I felt pressured by the presence of those two mortal sin skill holders.
[Hi, it seems that you just woke up.]
[It’s been a week, since you slept]
[Greed!?]
[Yeah, I had to retrieve it back from Gallia. After that battle, Myne seemed to forget to bring him back with her.]
[Moreover, it seemed that a monster took him by accident, making it hard for me to find him, until I came across it around the vicinity of the center part of Gallia.]
Greed immediately jabbed at me through the《Mind Reading》while I was examining him.
『FFFFaaaaaaaaaaaaatee! You, you made me feel worried.』
[Don’t be mad, I survived thanks to that.]
『A monster took me and brought me along with it travelling a very long way. I thought that I’d never get back here.』
[I can see that.]
『……anyways, there is something important that Fate need to know. It will be better if Eris follow up from here.』
[You have defeated Tenryu, showing us your proof . I think it’s not the time yet, but now we can’t continue with the plan of creating crown tier human by using Roxy’s death, since we need your strength. Please, lend us your power.]
[What is this about?]
[Apparently you have no right to decline. It’s something that can’t be avoided as a Mortal Sin skill holder. But first, since it will be inconvenient for you, let’s restore your lost arm.]
Eh, you can actually do such thing!? There should be no recovery type magic in this world….and moreover, you said you can even make a lost body part to regrow?
[It’s possible. And you should leave from here before Roxy comes. You’ll just endanger her if you are to meet her now.]
[This is….your trademark.]
What I received from Myne was the skull mask that was supposedly broken during the fight against Tenryu. No…I don’t remember considering this as my trademark.
