I'll kill you after I finish this game!

“You were a young girl at the time, and because they were the kind of guys who spoke without thinking, it was easy to imagine them saying unnecessary things while chatting in front of cats and dogs.”

Yes, that's right. The people that Himuro Rei has been in contact with since childhood are definitely not ordinary people.

Just as Elune said, Himuro Rei has never been sick since she was a child. Although her constitution is within the normal range, apart from the pain in her body at this moment and accidental injuries in daily life, she has never been physically uncomfortable.

And every time I eat at Gray's place, I always feel refreshed afterward.

Moreover, regarding Bey and the witch, it was just as Eluneore had said.

She couldn't understand what adults said in front of her child anyway, but she remembered it very clearly.

The younger you are, the more likely you are to believe in even the most bizarre things.

"Then was it something you investigated yourself, something you guessed, or something from a bloody memory? Even if you don't care who you are, you should be self-aware, even if you're half-believing..."

Elunere's words were not empty words; it was a fact that Himuro Reia could not avoid.

In the past few days, or as we get closer to 'that' time, everything that Rei Himuro had doubted has become a reality.

Moreover, the dream I just had, or rather, the inherited memory of my bloodline, cannot be ignored no matter how you look at it.

"On this basis, is continuing with superficial teasing just escapism? Well... I can understand that feeling."

Looking at Himuro Reia's silent and exquisite face, Eluneore calmly stated:

"I have also experienced moments when common sense was shattered, so I can understand the feeling of wanting to deny it."

"..."

Himuro Rei gently bit her pale lips, her eyes filled with disappointment.

As Eluneore said, "Perhaps, even if I don't want to, this kind of thing... is impossible, it's okay." Everyone has this kind of negative feeling.

People are only willing to believe things that are in their own interest; this is a habit of 99% of people.

Because of her stable performance for more than ten years, Ling'ai mistakenly believed that it would continue indefinitely, and hoped that it would continue indefinitely.

"Therefore, they are all inferior and despicable."

Elunere sneered at those who educated and raised the Sun Prince, her heart filled with disdain and disgust, and said:

“Don’t mistake a young girl’s dream for tenderness, fragile and gentle, a ‘dream full of falsehood and deception’ that can be blown away at any moment. It’s not the same as a hesitant and indecisive answer. So… I’ll tell you, Theresa.”

Ling'ai lowered her head, her shoulders trembling.

Elunere spoke disdainfully, praising the priests and nuns despite her contempt for their behavior.

"Praying for death, remembering death—that is the hope that brought us to our Lord Heydrich. Whether one prays fervently or hopes to avoid the inevitable death, the awareness of death is a form of despair."

With pride and reverence, Elunere proclaimed the core ideas of the Black Round Table to Himuro Reia, saying, "And do you know that despair is a concept that cannot exist unless one knows hope?"

Himuro Rei remained silent, knowing what Eluneore was implying.

I hope it's too sweet, and you're getting too caught up in it, Theresa?

The despair that will come someday is today, and in order to defeat it, you hope that the frolicking games of the inferior race will continue forever.

As the fifth transmutation altar, which brought about a turning point, opened, Valyria and Brenner left the church.

Why is that? Of course, it's to make Himuro Rei love someone.

I hope that loneliness can also become the icing on the cake in the performance of despair.

"Hmm, how does it feel? Although this is just my subjective analysis, I think it's probably not wrong."

Looking at Himuro Reia, who was bowing her head and remaining silent, Elune looked at her calmly and asked softly, "As someone who has been driven to a dead end, what is there to complain about?"

Although Ailuno's tone carried a hint of amusement, it was not mockery.

She simply told Himuro Rei a fact—or at least that's what she thought.

It's not about enjoying Ling'ai's pain and despair and laughing at it.

Just tell her that "this" is something that exists under certain circumstances, and that's how you are.

The unpretentious reality that excludes deception and trickery... is simply the result of following her aesthetic sense.

“Lisa, she…”

After listening to what the other person had told her, Himuro Rei finally spoke.

Because she didn't deny Elune's words, Rei's calmness surprised even herself.

She believed the previous analysis, but her resolve remained unshaken. Only one question lingered, which she turned to Eluneore and asked:

"Is Lisa my grandmother?"

“To be precise, she was my great-grandmother.” After confirming and correcting Ling’ai’s question, Elunere said with deep emotion, “I’m the same age as her, and thinking about it like that really brings back a lot of feelings.”

She, Lisa Brenner, and Beatrice Kirschner were contemporaries.

As a result, her subordinate Kirsch Eisen fell in love with someone who infuriated her, and they both died.

Lisa, who is already a mother and a great-grandmother, is now talking to Himuro Rei, a descendant of the other woman.

That's why Elunere was moved by the changes brought about by time and the changes in the people around her.

Ling'ai ignored Elunere's sentiments and continued to press for clarification on the questions she wanted to answer, saying:

"Who is this Yitzhak you're talking about?"

“Brenner’s son, who is also your grandfather, I think I should call him the first Sun Prince.”

"So, that person..."

"Is he dead?" Himuro Reia wanted to ask, but then she stopped herself.

"No, but it's difficult to define his state."

Knowing what Ling'ai wanted to ask, but with a smile on her face, Elunere wasn't pretending, she directly stated the truth:

"Lord Heydrich's [Creation] rank, which we call 'City,' has been allowed to exist and expand indefinitely by the existence of Yzak, almost swallowing up half of the Earth."

With Yzak present, the city will not be destroyed by time or external environmental pressures.

"As the entity that consolidates the city, Yzak naturally has to stay there at all times. If it were a normal creation, it could last for a few years at most, and only a few hours at the shortest. Being able to do the former is already the limit, but Lord Heydrich's creation has not disappeared in sixty years. It can be said to be another world."

Elunere explained to Himuro Reia the role of Yzak, or rather, his duty, which was also the duty of the Sun Prince, saying:

"Yzak's soul, its core, resides within the city, but the body, devoid of its soul, is dead, meaning..."

At this point, she abruptly stopped speaking, raising an eyebrow.

She silently looked at Himuro Reia, whose face was pale, shrugged, and felt that it didn't matter and was no big deal.

Even if she didn't continue, anyone who isn't a fool would understand how a corpse could produce offspring. The answer is self-evident.

After all... it was Lisa Brenner who started this.

"In any case, we just need to wait patiently for that time to come."

Elunere offered Himuro Reia words of comfort that were hardly words of solace, her eyes conveying an air of "It's your honor," saying, "To be one with the overflowing new world of Lord Heydrich is a blessing from heaven. Everyone will live there forever."

Yes, let's all live on forever, fight each other forever, and love each other forever.

The Asura Path—the paradise of the highest heaven.

Many viewers couldn't help but complain at this point, because Heydrich's world doesn't have the concept of "death".

The world will constantly be destroyed, reborn, fight, and recover.

All living beings in that world fight and kill each other, die and are resurrected, continuing the eternal struggle.

The Red Knight, serving under the master of this world, calmly and proudly commented on his master's world in this way.

"Is it not possible to understand this from the perspective of this country and this era?"

However, seeing Himuro Rei trembling, Elunere put away her pride and shrugged helplessly.

That is the glory of the war slaves and the heroic spirits.

This is a concept that does exist as one of the views on life and death, but as Eluneore said, Himuro Reia cannot understand it.

"I love my fellow human beings in my own way, even though I'm a picky eater," Elunere calmly stated regarding the Black Round Table's "love." Mutual slaughter is also a form of love; anyone can do it, and the master won't blame them, so Elunere felt no guilt as she spoke:

"The root of my killing intent in killing Brenner was the recognition that they were eternal friends, and that the souls devoured by the altar of the transmutation circle were sent to the Lord's castle as a catalyst for the transmutation of gold."

Therefore, love, kindness, murderous intent, friendship, respect, and hostility are all equally important.

That's just how they are.

They killed him, then killed him again; he was resurrected, then killed again.

In order to gallop together across billions of battlefields until the end of twilight, the members of the Black Round Table must compare themselves—whose soul shines brighter, whose soul is more valiant, and who is more deserving of the mercy of destructive love!

Therefore, they failed to win before the eighth transmutation altar opened.

They cannot be compared to Elunere and the others.

At least initially, he had to stand on the same battlefield as them.

"So I hope you can fulfill your mission."

Thinking of her surviving comrades at the Black Round Table, and recalling her companions who had returned to the city, Elunere chuckled and sighed, "Although I don't get along with Brenner, a life without arguing with that woman is also empty. My current thought is to wait for the day she catches me again."

Kill Lisa Brenner, mercilessly and thoroughly.

However, Elunere's soliloquy states that this is the friendship she shares with her fellow countrymen.

She also directly told Ling'ai that if given the chance in the future, Elunerei would like to kill Lisa several more times.

Even if it may not be possible to achieve it, as subordinates and followers, they must still have their own souls.

This is the ultimate love, isn't it? Elunere was so certain of it.

"And you? Is there someone you want to possess? Who is the person you long for whom you don't want to give up to? Theresa, what wishes do you still have in the face of the impending exodus from hell?" Elunere asked Himuro Reia.

If she could, she would bestow her rare gentleness upon this child who inherited noble blood.

She disliked Lisa, but she didn't need to drag others into it.

"The one I long for..."

Himuro Rei murmured unconsciously upon hearing this, but not long ago, the scene from her dream flashed through her mind.

[What you want, the place you want to belong.]

The world before its collapse and destruction.
