「I’ll ask you one more time. Is there any other way that Romio and Zelos Reed don’t have to die?」

「There’s none」

Weena Rhyn responded to Fran’s question almost immediately with an intimidating air. I guess this was what it felt like to be in over your head.

『Fran… She’s lying』

(She’s lying?)

『Yeah』

In other words, there was a way to do it without having to sacrifice Romio and Zelos Reed.

「…Liar」

「I’m not lying」

『I knew it, she was really lying』

Her words “I’m not lying” were a lie too.

「Tell me the way that Romio and Zelos Reed don’t have to die!」

「…There’s none」

「Liar」

「…Tsk」

Seeing Fran’s convinced expression, she must have understood that her lie had been seen through. Weena Rhyn then sharply narrowed her eyes.

The intimidation radiating from her body increased. It could already be called a kind of bloodthirstiness now.

「I said I don’t have any other way. That doesn’t convince you?」

「Nn」

「…Haah」

She was clearly irritated. However, she still seemed to have enough sense not to try to get rid of Fran all of a sudden.

Well, maybe she just couldn’t attack us because she was in the middle of a ritual?

The killing intent that Weena Rhyn unleashed was so devastating that it was a wonder why she hadn’t made a move.

So, this was Weena Rhyn, huh? No, this must be the real Weena Rhyn.

Weena Rhyn then opens her mouth again in an annoyed tone.

「Then what’s the difference between killing another person?」

「What do you mean?」

「Let’s say there was such a way where we could handle the situation without killing Romio and Zelos Reed. But what would you do if it requires another person to be the sacrifice?」

「Who?」

「I’m just saying」

「That is――」

「You don’t have to worry about the sacrifice though」

Just as Fran was about to open her mouth. As if to interrupt her words, we could hear a girl’s voice behind us.

「…Eh?」

Weena Rhyn looked behind Fran with a look of astonishment. Her expression changed drastically from frustration to astonishment.

「…R-Rhyn…?」

Weena Rhyn muttered in a faint voice. Yes, the identity of the voice that had interrupted us was Rhyn, the spirit girl with beautiful odd eyes.

「You look a little different?」

「I’ve become a spirit, and my form is just a mere shadow of my former self… I guess you could say that this is my true form」

Fran was right, Rhyn’s figure that was floating on the ground was quite different. If it hadn’t been for the same voice and eye color, I might not have recognized her instantly.

Rhyn’s current appearance was quite slender and thin, with her long ears, her appearance reflected the characteristics of an elf and she looked just like Weena Rhyn.

「I’m glad you survived from that. Fran」

I wondered whether she was talking out of her mind, but I didn’t sense any sarcasm or malice in her words. She seemed to be happy for Fran’s safety from the bottom of her heart.

「Long time no see, Weena」

「Yeah. It has been hundreds of years…」

「Even if you leave it alone, the great magic beast will surely resurrect. Even if I and the Rhyn in you are attracted to each other, it doesn’t matter anymore」

That reminded me, if Weena Rhyn ever got too close to the lake, the great magic beast would be revitalized and the seal would loosen.

I guess that must be why Rhyn couldn’t see Weena Rhyn before. But since the resurrection was already inevitable, did that mean there was no point in not seeing her anymore?

But their expressions were in direct contrast. Weena Rhyn looked like she was about to cry but what she felt inside was definitely joy.

But Rhyn was expressionless. Moreover, there was no sign of joy on her face. Rather, she looked disappointed.

About what though? Besides, I didn’t understand what she was saying earlier.

「Hey. What do you mean by saying we don’t have to worry about the sacrifice?」

「Fufu. Because I was the one who’s going to get sacrificed」

「Eh?」

Rhyn walked past Fran, who was tilting her head and stepped quickly in front of Weena Rhyn.

「Weena Rhyn… You are going to reseal the great magic beast, aren’t you」

「Yes. Now, we can use the Sacrament of the Evil God to reseal it」

「…Yeah. Maybe we can reseal it with that」

「Right?」

「But you know that, don’t you? That I don’t wish for it」

Immediately after Rhyn said that Weena Rhyn looked as if she was about to cry.

「…What’s your purpose, Rhyn!? What do you want to do by resurrecting the great magic beast!?」

「Well you see, I want to be ‘saved’. That’s why I don’t want it to be resealed」

「Why do you want something like that!?」

I thought that she was unhappy about being sealed and was planning to resurrect it. After all, Rhyn and the great magic beast were connected, and she had broken the seal herself.

But apparently, her motives were not something that we had expected.

「I want you to liberate me」

She didn’t want to be freed, but to be liberated?

「Weena Rhyn… I know you can do that」

「…」

Weena Rhyn’s response to Rhyn’s words was silence. However, the red blood that flowed from between her tightly clenched fists proved the emotions that swirled within her.

「Weena Rhyn――」

「I won’t! Why must I do that!」

「I beg of you」

「I won’t! I won’t do that! I will never forgive you if you were to disappear!」

Weena Rhyn looked just like a spoiled child as she exclaimed that.
