Well... well... yes, that's impossible.

No, wait.

Filia herself suppressed this thought for a while.

But I remember hearing someone say that love comes into your heart in the blink of an eye.

If that is the case, the time of the meeting would not be a valid argument.

But......

No...wait.

Continuously switching between these two thoughts, Filia's soft lips formed a line as she answered.

"Accomplices, yes, that guy and I are accomplices. Well, this is the most appropriate."

That’s right, Filia started to think again, didn’t she and that guy say the same thing?

This statement is the most appropriate.

Of course, such a relationship between people of different backgrounds who are accomplices can seem quite strange.

But at least, it would be better to say it this way now.

Ames muttered in a questioning tone, then continued.

"This opportunity is rare, so I'm making it clear now."

"I want to ask—um… Honestly, I don't have a good impression of that gentleman. I even think he looks dangerous."

A little darker than usual, like a sound that had been lowered to a lower frequency.

This sentence is really straightforward...Thinking of this, Filia pursed her lips.

Ultimately, this is what Ames wanted to say from the beginning.

However, it would be rude to talk about or ask about such things in front of Filia, who was not sure whether she was a lover or a friend.

Sometimes, it may even be considered disrespectful.

That's what Ames judged.

Therefore, after finding out the relationship from Filia, he began to reveal his own feelings.

Should I say it's sincere or serious?

In a sense, Filia felt that she and that guy were even completely opposite types.

I couldn't help but clench my hands.

"Perhaps he can't be called a villain, but he's definitely not a kind person. Miss Filia, are you staying with him knowing this?"

So that's how she is - Aimee Castina.

Filia turned her head over here, looked at the beautiful and graceful face, and understood.

If something is incorrect, it should be said that it is incorrect, and it cannot be allowed to remain incorrect.

It is her nature to constantly focus on the relationship between good and evil from a positive perspective.

Such people are fair wherever they go.

"I'm very worried about Frodo right now... My heart feels like it's about to break. Without your eyes, I'll lose my mind."

"So, let me make it clear. If, by any chance, he hurts Frodo, I will become his enemy."

Ignoring the previous string of incomprehensible remarks, Filia understood the implicit meaning without missing a single word.

——When that time comes, what will you do?

It's an unexpected combination, but being hostile to one's teammates...

Well, even if it is assumed that the other party made the first move, it would be unfair if you did not convey this thought in advance.

Ames, that's what she thought, very fair.

In the dim underground temple, where only a faint light illuminated the surrounding space, Filia Reinhardt stared at her own white fingers, frowning at these words.

At the same time, he blinked his silver eyes and slowly crafted the words on the tip of his tongue.

very strange.

No, should I say this is normal? But I just can't understand my own feelings.

Aimee Castina.

She is undoubtedly an absolutely fair person and her words are full of sincerity.

If you ask whether she is reliable...I can probably say that she is absolutely trustworthy.

But, we just met a few days ago.

Rather, this is the first time we have had such a serious conversation here.

Why? Why is this? Why does she think so? As if what she said is right.

The moment it was mentioned that Murphy would hurt Frodo Volgograd, the brain made a judgment.

Those words sounded like the truth.

"...This is not a question to be answered now. When the time comes, I will do what is necessary."

"Then pray that this sincere statement is fair."

Although she had said it herself, Filia felt overwhelmed by the ugliness of the content.

——Take necessary measures when necessary.

What kind of sophistry is this?

Isn't this the ambiguity and deception that I hate the most?

It's really strange. My thoughts are a little bit wrong now. I can be so sure of it.

But why? I don't know the reason.

Murphy, as Ames said, is not a good person.

Being erratic and doing bad things as if nothing happened, I'm afraid he can even cheat people with a clear conscience.

Although Ames also said that he couldn't be considered a villain.

But from the perspective of Filia, who had a brief but in-depth relationship with him, he was undoubtedly a villain who would do anything to achieve his goals.

Ah, sure enough, that's it.

Is what Aimee Castina said correct?

(11/30)

Chapter 15: Do we have to follow the right thing?

What Aimee Castina said was correct.

It wasn't just an intuition, the same thought also appeared in my mind.

If that is the case, then we should follow the right thing.

"What's wrong, Miss Filia?"

Perhaps because she was thinking about something, Filia lowered her head and stopped naturally.

On the stone steps, the shadows illuminated by the little firelight swayed.

"Nothing." Filia shook her head and responded.

However, in his heart he wanted to go further and say - you are right.

The right thing should be done.

Although the lights were dim, Ames' presence was gaining momentum.

Like the warmth of the sun, and the light that shines the truth.

Ah, I see. That is justice, without a doubt.

Just as Filia, who had lowered her head, was about to raise it.

In an instant, something moved at the edge of its eyes.

That is, shadow.

The shadow seemed to be defying the light, swaying and moving.

Finally, it slowly took shape and stayed in Filia's eyes.

———These are the words of those who are favored by God. How wonderful it is to rely on them.

It's a shadow.

The shadow was talking.

I can understand that statement ringing in my ears.

Impossible, Filia blinked and quickly swallowed the words she was about to say.

———So, if you want to give up, just give up, Filia Reinhardt. Like a tamed sheep, blindly following its shepherd, without a second thought or a second doubt, it falls off a cliff.

The words were so rude, as if a bad play was being performed right before my eyes.

His body was too stiff to move, and his throat couldn't tremble.

However, the content was totally unacceptable.

Filia, who was supposed to be unable to move, couldn't help but make a sound from gnashing her molars.

———That is truly supreme happiness. Indulge yourself, indulge yourself. Just like that, abandon all reason!

To shut up.

The words didn't come out of his throat, but his mouth trembled slightly.

Filia's body burned as if it were on fire.

If I could let the boiling emotions in my heart burst forth, if I could change my expression, a fierce look would most likely appear on my face.

However, there was no doubt that those silver eyes were gleaming with burning rage.

It's boring, extremely boring.

The right stuff is awesome.

Which mouth said this? Which mind thought this up?

As the daughter of an earl, she became a woman and lived a life of her own.

Involuntarily, a mocking thought emerged in Filia's mind, as if mocking everything in the world.

———Who do you think I am? Lawless Filia, the one who abandoned her family. Ordinary Filia. Foolish Filia.

Glaring at the shadow, Filia growled in her mind as if to retort.

Subsequently.

He shrugged lightly, and incredibly, his body was able to move.

Shadow seemed to no longer want to talk.

It was impossible to tell whether what was just heard was an auditory hallucination or the words really spoken by the shadow.

However, the end justifies the means.

This is natural, because even I am the same.

Now suddenly correcting and distorting it, isn't this just trampling on one's own pride?

"...Ah, no, it's already been decided. What if Murphy does something illegal? Yeah?"

Filia stopped and looked at Ames, then replied.

"Yes, because according to the contract, Frodo can't do anything to him, so I think no matter what happens, it won't be surprising."

That existence is still so sacred, emitting unquestionable heat.

"If that's the case, I must take responsibility. Because at that time, I failed to fulfill my responsibility to stop Frodo. But until then, I don't want to do anything to you."

"is it?"
