Chapter 159 – Libra’s Invitation

[Don’t mess with me! I will not let something like that to happen.]

[Now…there is no need to be mad. Oya oya, look at the way those two have been staring at me. Aaaa…now I’m the bad guy again, as usual]

[Obviously. You became one the time you mentioned destroying Hauzen.]

[Hello? Think about it, you can prevent calamity from falling on the entire world by sacrificing only Hauzen. As a whole, I don’t think it’s such a bad deal.]

[Libra…you…]

[Moreover, how much longer do I have to give you? You haven’t even found Myne, have you?]

[I hate you!]

[It seems that you have developed an unneeded emotion. What a shame…however]

[I’m not going to do her any harm.]

That said, his hand that held Snow began to glow.

[I just imparted to her some memories. It should prove useful even if a little.]

[Snow!?]

[See, I didn’t hurt her, right? She and I shared a long relationship after all. I will still treat her politely.]

Beating me to it, Roxy spoke up to Libra who still kept his amiable-looking face all the time.

[Earlier, you said you are imparting to her some much needed memories. What do you mean by that?]

[My my, if it isn’t Roxy Heart. This place is way too dangerous for the likes of you though.]

[I am well aware of my lack of strength. But please answer me. What memory?]

[So you are that kind of girl. Very well. I will tell you. After all, us holy knights are similarly kind hearted…]

[If I really have to explain in detail, we’ll end up standing here for a very long time.]

Even so, he smiled and went ahead.

[I shared some of my memories to her. About this place long before Hauzen was built here.]

[That…..could it be?]

[You’re pretty quick witted, aren’t you? Good guess. And you’re right. It’s the memories from the time when Gallia still ruled over this world.]

He pointed to his head, then to Snow’s.

[Libra…you…]

What have I allowed him to do…? I thought to confront him for it, but I quickly hesitated.

[What’s wrong, Fate? What are you so afraid of?]

[That is…]

I took a glance at the still unconscious Snow, then back toward Libra.

[Ah…I know. If Snow regains her old self, she might turn hostile on you. Although she’s an Area E, she’s harmless the way she is now. You are afraid that she’ll start attacking when she’s awake.]

[…..]

[I see, so I guessed correctly.]

[She will not! Despite losing her memories, she is still, Snow. That is why, since Fate has decided to take her in, then at least please believe in her.]

[Roxy…I’m sorry.]

Perhaps the after effect of fighting the giant scorpion still lingered in my mind. Imagining that gigantic beast rampaging in the middle of Hauzen, I would be too distraught to fight back.

Libra then chimed in.

[That will be up to Snow to decide. The longer one lives, the more things happen during their life, and the more hatred one accumulates. It’s something inevitable.]

[I did my part to help. Now it’s your turn. Don’t you dare to fail.]

[Libra…]

[Alright then, see you later]

[Fai…did you realize that, when we were talking to Libra, the townspeople acted strange?]

And yet, there was no noise at all.

[Could that be, one of Libra’s skills?]

[I do not know. I was hoping that Fai saw something with your appraisal…]

[He would’ve prevented that from happening.]

With the magic power stat of Area E, causing blindness with this technique is nothing impossible.

[Well…appraisal skill can easily dig out the opponent’s important infos. It’s way too convenient of a skill.]

[But that also means the countermeasures are also many. In any case, Libra had absorbed the life force of the entire Oasis. Even without appraisal…I could sense his bottomless power.]
