It was the darkest of darkness. And yet what spoke was even deeper of a darkness than that.
“You will walk only the correct path. You will have the strength to step on everything that’s important to you if you must. Your friends. Those who you love. Everyone, everything. That’s your most important quality. Now, show it to me. Show me the correct path,” the malice itself said. “Try to show me the path you’ll walk.”
“……”
Sion exhaled. Then he tried to bring air back in, but he couldn’t. He couldn’t breathe the air that he needed. He could only breathe in this darkness.
“……”
Sion’s eyes fell to the documents lying in a mess on the floor. Luke Stokkart had given them to him. They were about Ryner. About him making contact with a Gastarki spy. But he didn’t go to Gastark with him. Instead he was returning to Roland. Luke proposed that Ryner’s purpose in doing so was to use himself as a bridge to the Cursed Eye bearers to give them more power. If they joined hands, then they’d have a more favorable outcome in a fight against Gastark.
“……”
But there was no point in that.
There was no point in wondering how useful or useless Ryner was.
His eyes were the only part of him that mattered. His… Solver of All Formulas.
Sion knew that.
“…I…”
That was why he gave the order to kill Ryner. It was necessary. But…
“…I… can’t kill Ryner…”
As soon as he said that, the malice lurking in the darkness showed itself to him. He had golden-blond hair, closed eyes, and an unreal sort of beauty.
Lucile Eris.
“…Is that the path you’ll show me?” Lucile asked.
“Yes.”
“You won’t kill Ryner Lute?”
Sion nodded. “I won’t.”
Lucile smiled meanly. “Heh, heheheh… Amazing, Sion… I see. So the path you’ll choose is the cruellest one.”
Sion didn’t respond. So Lucile continued.
“…You think of Ryner as your precious friend, so I personally think it’d be better for you to kill him sooner than later, but… instead you chose to walk on his thorny path, counterproductive as it is.”
Sion didn’t respond.
“But is that really okay? If you kill that, it’ll soon be reborn. Just like you. You’re gears of this world. So even if you don’t sacrifice him…”
Sion didn’t respond.
Perhaps Lucile was satisfied, as a small smile rose to his face. “Heh, hehe, it’s fine, then. Whatever. I wish for you to do only things you won’t regret, my… my hero.”
With that, Lucile disappeared. Returned back to the darkness of the world. Sion looked into the darkness…
“……”
But he didn’t say anything to it.
