Chapter 320

Chapter 320

TL: Zimmings

"No one can own another person."

"......What?"

"You can't own it and you can't take it."

The Dubblede siblings looked at Mina.

Mina's eyes trembled.

"Why are you saying such cold things? You said you'd be by my side for the rest of my life."

"......."

"You told me that you would always hold my had when I was at a loss. I'm just... I'm...... I was just lonely."

Mina crouched down and shouted as if she was crying.

"In that world, I was terribly lonely and wanted someone to save me. You were my saviors, so I just wanted to save someone."

"......."

"Am I so wrong? How could it be wrong to work desperately for an ideal?"

"It's not wrong."

It was Leblaine's words.

Mina looked up at her.

Leblaine said,

"It's not your fault to dream. Your fault is that you didn't acknowledge the desires of others and prioritize your desires."

"I didn't do anything wrong? If I have sinned to carry out my beliefs, you too, for your desires......!"

"Yes, Mina."

"......."

"That's right. I'm guilty too."

Leblain looked at Mina quietly and continued.

"I have committed countless small and large crimes for personal reasons because I want to be with my family for a long time. That's why I'm a villain and I deserve to be pointed at."

"......."

"It's just that I'm a winner, so I can continue to desire."

"......."

"I became the winner because I was a little more desperate than you."

"......."

"There will be countless problems in the future. Just as I have blocked you, who desperately have desires today, those who desire more eagerly than me may block me tomorrow."

"You......."

"I hope that day I at least don't make excuses like you."

Is she making excuses?

Mina's eyes trembled.

"No. I... I...!"

"To put my own desires first, I will not deny the desires of others, and I will admit that it is the shadow of the 'world where anyone can dream' that I longed for."

Kii, kii.

A strange sound rang in Mina's ears.

It seemed as if something that had been carefully stored in a space was just crumbling.

Mina gritted her teeth.

She couldn't stand it because her pride was hurt.

She couldn't admit that Leblaine's dream, which is too trivial compared to hers, was more desperate than her belief.

"I don't think that the vulgar desires of material things outperformed my beliefs for the world!"

"Then?"

"You're just a trickster. You won because you were terribly cunning."

"Some people call that trait sincerity. Just like you put all your heart into your beliefs."

"But your desire is insignificant. The desire to be with the family is not a noble belief enough to leave countless people in the world behind suffering."

"Then I'll change the name of my desire. A world that anyone can dream of....... Let's do that."

"......What?"

"If you wrap your desires, it becomes a belief, and the essence of your beliefs is your desire, Mina."

Leblaine stared into Mina's trembling eyes.

"It's a desire to be loved by the whole world because you can't stand the loneliness you feel, and if you wrap it up, it becomes a belief that you want to be the savior of the world."

Mina's expression completely collapsed.

At that moment, she felt something completely broken in her heart.

Doubts flooded in to her.

Doubts that it may have been her pride, not her beliefs that lead her until now.

'No, no, no!'

It can't be.

She was human unlike her foster parents.

She wasn't a human being who lived greedily for wealth or the longing gaze of others.

Mina looked at Leblaine in a frenzy.

The Leblaine she saw in her dreams wasn't here.

'Why are you looking at me with such pitiful eyes?'

Mina muttered blankly.

"I hate you, Leblaine."

"I'm glad. Me too."

Leblaine, who said so, slowly approached Mina.

Like in the old days, when Mina approached her.

"Goodbye, Leblaine."

"Goodbye, Mina."

"Thanks for being my sister."

"Thanks for being my little sister."

"Let's meet again in the next life and become real siblings."

"Let's not meet again in the next life."

Leblaine's fingertips shone, and Boone's sword appeared.

Leblaine recalled Baal's words.

'If holy beast refers to a human being who has become a monster, then-'

Leblaine exclaimed.

"Baal, Pur!"

Pur's clouds cover the sun, and plants sprung up by the power of Baal surrounded the vacant lot in a dome shape.

A darkness where sunlight does not permeate.

In the darkness that could not be reached by Neliard or Serga, Leblaine put a sword toward Mina's back.

Like how Mina pierced her heart in her first life, in the solar eclipse ceremony.

Bang-!!

The ground shook violently. Lightning fell toward Baal's vine, and the devil of Leblaine became transparent as they clicked their tongues.

[Is it the end?]

[After all, we and even the monsters belonged to God.]

Mina's devils disappeared after Mina, who became a holy beast and fell.

Only humans remain in this space.

"What, what?"

"What is that door...!"

Suddenly, there is a door

A door full of light.

Leblaine hurriedly looked at the door.

It was the door that first brought Mina into the world.

'That's right!'

A human who becomes a holy beast becomes a monster.

In other words, the existence of it ceased to exist.

Some devils are also considered a beast.

And the pioneer was a being created by God. Therefore, everything God has created disappears in a space where God's power cannot reach.

'What would happen if Mina was killed in a space where the power of God could not reach?'

Mina, which Neliard had forcibly brought from another world, might return to her original world.

"Ah-!!"

Mina's scream rang in the air.

She swirled violently as her soul was sucked into the door.

"No, no, no!"

Mina clasped her arms and cried.

"Ah, Johann, Henry... Isaac! Help, help!"

"......."

"......."

"......."

The three brothers looked at Mina, who stretched out her hand without saying a word.

'...They're not going to help me.'

They won't help.

'Actually, they didn't love me.'

That's why they don't help me.

Mina hurriedly hugged Leblaine's leg.

"I was wrong. I was wrong. I, I... Ah, my sister!"

"......."

"Forgive me. I don't want to go back! I don't want to go back to that world!"

"......."

"We, we were sisters. You thought of me as a younger sister. I was a good sister who did anything for you. Right?

"......."

"Leblaine, Leblaine!"

Weeping bitterly, she begged earnestly.

"I'll be a good little sister. I swear!"

"......."

"Leblaine!"

Mina's expression hardened as she looked up at Leblaine.

It was a face that had made up her mind.

In the end, Leblaine will not help her and she will be dragged into that terrible world.

"Unlucky girl! I hated you from the beginning! I was forced to be nice to you because you're my father's adopted daughter!"

Mina said something evil.

"You bastard, you bastard...! I've always been kind to you because you can't do anything!"

"It must be sympathy."

"To the end...! You mean bastard! Curse you!"

"Thank you for being sympathetic. Until you killed me."

"......What?"

"Mina, it's really funny, but-"

"......."

"I truly loved you."

Mina's hand stopped.

She casually looked around.

The moment her whole body was sucked into the door, she realized.

'Oh, was the affection I received in my previous life a lie?'

Neither my father, who remembers his past life, nor the three Dubblede brothers, who listened to the past life I told them, moved for her.

At the last minute, the power of the devils that remained in the world completely disappeared.

The clouds of Pur were lifted, and the vines made by Baal disappeared.

She can see the pope in the distance.

'His Holiness......!'

She reached out, but he didn't approach.

He turned a blind eye to her.

Oh, that's what happened after all.

All of the affection she valued so much in her previous life was false.

'I was just hoping for someone who truly loved me.'

"Goodbye, Mina."

Was it her?

Was it really her?

'After all, it was Leblaine, who truly loved me.'

Why did Mina kill her with her own hands?

There was no one to answer the question.

Her body was completely sucked into the door.

The world has gone dark.

And when she opens her eyes again...

"What."

"A beggar?"

A giggle of laughter pierced her ears like arrowheads.

Mina looked around her and took a deep breath.

'This is the place where I lived before.'

A world where no one loves her, no opportunity to be loved.

Mina, who buried her head on the ground, sobbed.

"I'd rather kill her...!"

Just to come back. Rather than returning to a world worse than hell.

[Goodbye, Mina.]

Leblaine's voice echoed in her ears.

***

After the door that absorbed Mina's soul completely disappeared, I sat down.

"Kid!"

"Leblaine!"

My brothers rushed to me.

'Is this the end?'

The child of fate who can summon devils has disappeared. Now that the most powerful enemy is gone, this war may be over.

When I looked at Mina's body, that is, my mother's body...

Bang-!!

Once again, the world shook.

"I'm here to pick you up, Meria."
