769 Formerly The Strongest, Recalls
By the time Aina returned to her classroom during the lunch break, Sheila had already returned to her classroom.
I mean, Aina shouldn't know about Sheila... well, given the circumstances, it's not that much to think about.
"Sheila knows what's going on too, or is that okay with you?
"Well, yeah. I mean, buddy."
"... n, to be exact, a former companion"
"You say that again...!
"... at least I don't think I'm one of those people trying to kill my sister"
In Sheila's eyes, who said so, there was a strong light.
If I never give up this much, I know exactly what you think.
Well, I know you didn't tell me.
In that sense, it is Aina who feels uncomfortable.
We know in previous exchanges that Eina is only Eina, even if she has different memories.
It was incredible how Eina, even though she had no memory, affirmed the death of her friend Felicia and admitted to killing her.
But when you say that, it's not to be understood.
I wondered what it meant to fulfill, etc., but for now I decided to watch Sheila and Aina interact.
"I don't want to kill you, either! But I can't find another way, so I don't have a choice...!
"... not necessary.... I will defeat all the eyelashes that your sister made manifest.... as before. … so, no problem"
"You can't have no problem......! You're not unconscious that you're not the only one who can contain it......!? Because earlier, that must be why you let him get away, and because of that, Soma got attacked by me!?
"... soma, but?
Apparently he didn't grasp it that far, and his eyes directed toward Soma were shaking.
Later I was alternating my gaze between Soma and Eina, rather than to explore authenticity, maybe because I understood how Eina and Soma were talking about this here.
"Hmm...... well sure, that's true, but first as putting that story aside. To hear the story, does it mean that there was no problem with Felicia showing up with all the eyelashes because Sheila was knocking them down each time?
"... n, I snuck it down.... not to be noticed by your sister, not by Soma"
"But that too has reached its limits. No, I should rather say that I've been suppressed so often. If it's true, it's not like I can keep it down on my own."
"I'm not going to pinch my mouth around it, which is indistinguishable to my seniors... More than that, I thought, wouldn't you tell Felicia about this? I feel like I should let Felicia know before I do. I'm guessing you don't understand a lot, because you haven't got Felicia's help? On the contrary, he seems to be hiding it. I think we might find a better way to do this if we lose it and actively cooperate..."
That was a sincere question, but Aina and Sheila shook their heads sideways all together.
I can't teach you, it seems.
"Hmm... why is that?
"Because I can't predict. I don't know what will happen if she finds out the truth... I guess I should say it's more likely that it will get worse if she becomes aware than if she doesn't."
"... and it's, like, infinitely close to the fact. … the situation deteriorated acceleratively, perhaps because my sister became even slightly aware of it"
"I don't think Felicia can see the bare hands for it?
"... well, perhaps your sister has forgotten about it herself.... but I'm sure I understood it unconsciously"
"Even the unconscious got accelerating worse, huh? If you're really conscious, you can't just try it."
"Sure, from what I've heard, you don't seem to be wrong about that response."
Sheila is not the type to affirm such things without foundation.
That means you probably know something you can be sure of.
But I don't talk about it because there's probably a reason I can't.
I understand that, but there's no point in daring to try to hear it out.
"Hmm... for now, I understand"
"I'm just going to tell him when the time comes. Don't know anything, it's just that they're gonna kill you... just fine."
"... so I won't let you"
"So you...!... ma, fine. Either way, it's tough as it is."
"Hmm? Tough, is it? Even though it is not a praised hand, does the means exist that can be taken in the worst case?
"That's right... the means is the problem. Because there are conditions for the unwieldy to manifest themselves, and one of them is when powerful negative emotions are scattered. It's especially noticeable when people are killed, and some people say that they attack people for something that's not eyelashes. So, it's predicted that the worst eyelashes of all time will show up when you're going to kill her. That's why you wait until you're critical."
"How bad exactly do you predict it would be?
"Well... worst case scenario, and that will be the last day of mankind, maybe"
Eina answered in a mild condition, but her eyes weren't laughing at all.
As serious as ever, and apparently true.
"I'm also looking for each other that's possible in order to get around it... it's pretty tough here, too. It's obvious."
"Are you?
"Well, you just saw that I can do something a little unusual, right? So does Sheila, but that's who I'm talking about."
"In short, people who can fight that monster or something,"
"...... hmm.... but it's pretty rare"
"On top of that, we need to have the kind of power we want, so there's something convenient about it."
Moments later, Aina and Sheila looked back in momentum.
The look has changed and tension is rising from all over the body.
But Soma will also try to look in the same direction as the two of us, but there is nothing ahead... No.
"... Eina"
"Sorry, this is totally my fault. I thought I could take it down with that...... by the way, what are the possibilities of other individuals?
"... the only thing that showed up today was Arre the hell"
"... I see. That means you're powerful for that matter. Besides, Felicia's birthday today. Stronger than ever before yesterday."
It was at the same time that the voice was interrupted and Aina's figure disappeared from the spot.
But it didn't move.
Instead, he just appeared on the spot, black, and he was blown away.
"... Hurry -"
When she recognized the figure, Sheila had a knife in her hand.
Apparently, he had it hidden.
But still, it was too late.
In the next moment it was black because it was in front of Sheila and Sheila's gripping sword was dancing through the universe with the sound of her high armor.
"... Oh no, I'm sorry about earlier...?
Though he said he had no eyes or mouth, Soma felt like a sole once again.
Shortly afterwards Sheila disappears, two late, and a roar sounds from a remote location.
If I turned my gaze, there was Aina and Sheila tapped to the ground so that we could line up amicably.
"Lies, right...? Earlier, I mean, there was no movement at all... no way, I wasn't just pretending to be hit, I was building up strength,...? Is that...?
"... not if I'm telling you.... and I can't seem to beat you to this extent."
In the middle of the word, Sheila disappeared again.
Reflectively, Aina turned her hand toward Sole.
"- Burning"
But by then, there's nothing further ahead.
Aina disappeared with the roar...... rolled to the ground with Sheila, like an earlier baking around.
But did you avoid a direct hit, we both still seem to be moving and our minds aren't dead.
It just didn't seem like it could be intact, and the movement was even slow.
Above all, it has been blown away twice, making it a long way from where Soma is.
The black sole slowly redirected the body toward Soma as if to show off.
"Eh... Soma, don't run away from it -"
"... Eh, soma -"
Three times to two screaming screams.
And.
There was a roar.
That is by far the biggest thing, and if it must have been the sound produced by the shock suffered by ordinary people, the body must have become dusty.
Although the person who received it seemed to be pimped.
Soma exhales one sigh as she looks at the black thing rolling on the ground.
"Hmmm... it was something I knew, but it seems pretty sturdy"
"... Huh?
"... soma?
I shrugged my shoulders because the two of them raised their voices and the sole at their feet also seemed somewhat shrugged.
It's not that surprising.
Fool, I honestly pushed it from the front, so that's all I'm saying, that I used the momentum to tap it to the ground.
"Surely you are the speed of motion inside, and in comparison of the forces, you will be the complete defeat of my generation. But there are things that we can do about everything, and above all, if we can show so much movement, we can respond. Totally... immature, huh?
Indeed, Soma's physical ability is that of ordinary people.
But neither knowledge nor experience has been lost.
Besides, I'm finally getting used to this movement in my body.
Then it was natural to do so to this extent.
However, if there is a problem, is this only a use of the other party's power?
In short, it is unlikely to be enough to defeat.
"Hmm, while my life was under control, with Eina and Sheila... hmm?
And it was then that a slight brilliance appeared on the edge of Soma's vision, wondering what was wrong.
That is what the light of the moon reflected by the blade.
It was Sheila's knife that was bounced off earlier.
"Some, if any..."
I was never distracted, but for the moment when my consciousness turned slightly towards the sword, the eyelashes were jumping off the spot.
After all, pure power doesn't seem to win in today's soma.
However, intelligence still seems to be high around being able to determine that it won't work even if it attacks as it is.
Otherwise, I wouldn't pretend to be dead right after Eina's magic.
Whatever it is, it's a rearrangement, but whether you use it yourself or Sheila uses it, the knife needs to be picked up.
While consciousness turned to sole, it picked it up without alarm… the wrapping power of the eyelashes swelled up at that moment.
It would simply be a coincidence rather than when Soma picked up the knife.
But in any case, it is true that the power of it has increased.
And that seems to have been something clearly felt by the Einas and even unexpected.
"Huh... you're lying, you're still up in strength...!?
"... soma...!?
At the same time as the two screamed again, the figure of the eyelashes disappeared...... but there was nothing wrong with it.
This time not from the front, not from behind, but from the side, because the movement of it was clearly recognizable to Soma.
Instead, as late as I felt, Soma slowly set up to go with it.
And.
"- Discretionary."
- Sword Reason, God Killing, Dragon Killing, Dragon God Protection, Absolute Amputation: One and all.
Running sword flashes are familiar, arms without any precipitation, body moves.
Then it is only natural that the end will come.
Black chunks were amputated, as if they had jumped in to be so from themselves.
"Hmm...... I see"
It was so convincing that Soma got it shortly afterwards.
I feel the sword at hand and my own power as I look sideways at the chunks divided into two parts disappearing this time.
It's completely undone.
Eina and Sheila seem to be able to use their powers without any problems, so I was wondering if Soma would be able to use their powers in some way, but they flagged it to get something similar to the sword.
It's something that has returned a lot of light power, but, well, I guess I've never gotten past it without struggling.
And now that I can use my powers, the situation hasn't improved at all.
Soma exhaled one breath as she turned her gaze toward Ainah and the others, who were staring at this one.
Until earlier the park, which was at least certainly a breath of people's signs, had returned to a perfectly quiet park.
Aina and the others aren't here anymore.
It wasn't like I was here anyway, but after we both left.
Looking at those two departed directions, Soma shrugs.
"I need to talk to you tomorrow, is it..."
That was the word Aina left behind when she left.
It is true that there was obstruction along the way, so there is still not enough talk, but I don't think it was in that atmosphere somehow.
I guess it doesn't mean it's irrelevant to the story that's been interrupted as a result, but it also means it's just going on.
Well, what do you know about this tomorrow?
I went on to say what was more wrong with Sheila.
Sheila and I didn't have anything in particular, but she seemed to be thinking about what it was like.
It's not irrelevant... but it's also something I can tell from what I've just thought here.
"I think it's time for me to move."
So Soma also tried to move her legs to go home for now, but just before that, she turned her gaze backwards.
Ahead is the park with the spread of darkness, but Soma narrows her eyes as if she were convinced there was something.
No.
Like, it wasn't, it was actually certain.
Because...
"- Is that where you are? How long are you going to hide like that? Why don't you show yourself?
The voice is also certain.
And then there was a response.
"... you've noticed."
The figure appeared abruptly on the spot, seeping out of the darkness.
But it's something I really knew, so I'm not particularly surprised.
I shrugged my shoulders toward the person I saw - Hildegard.
"Even though it's temporary, we're back in strength. So it's only natural that you can do that?
"... even to that extent, I was seriously hiding myself?
"But at the same time, would we have been trying to find it?
"... well, you're right. You're really the same at all times."
"You wouldn't be able to talk about people, either."
It was in a double sense.
I was convinced the moment I saw Hildegard's eyes, but from this exchange it still seems incorrect.
"Hmm... apparently you're the only one who hasn't changed."
"Well, I'm a commentator and a guide."
"Mm-hmm? I guess the explanation is of this situation... guidance, is it?
"Rather, that's the main thing. Perhaps if I were more precise, it would be useful to encourage recall."
"Reminds me..."
There is only one thing associated with that word.
And as affirming the thought, Hildegard nodded.
"Whatever you're forgetting, just to remember what happened to this situation. This is all because I can only do it."
At the same time as saying so, Hildegard has been staring straight at Soma.
The emerald eyes capture the figure of Soma and also look back at nature and Soma.
Because I could understand that I should, even if I wasn't told.
And Soma remembered everything.
