Scratch the trees and fly through the woods to follow Lilanaâs back. Iâm faster at speed, Lilana smells of dark blood, and her signs are unique.
Most importantly, the signs of other animals were faint as if they were afraid of her, and it was easy to follow Lylana.
Sometimes they perceive the signs Iâve been catching up with and point me at the chimera, but Iâm not even stopping to say it clarity.
Until just now I decided to stop Lylana, although I might have been trying to deal with that if I was going to splurge the chimera. So by analogy, Iâm not stopping for Chimera to go to the Al Kuns again.
And on a small high mountain in the woods. So Lilana stopped her leg. That could also be said to be the boundary separating the forest on the side of the Kingdom of Palletia from the forest on the side of the Kingdom of Cambus.
Try to cross that line and weâll look at each other dressed up. Lilana was just zipping her gaze at meâŠ. When I first saw it, I was excited she looked like a monster that was hard to understand.
But now Lilana was just trapped in the quiet air. So much so that if I meditated my eyes on the alien wings of its back, I would likely nod even if I were told to be the Virgin.
â⊠I wonder whyâ
Pompous and Lylana leak their voices. Those crimson eyes stare at me like theyâre cut.
âWhy did you come after me? I donât think youâre the one who came after me when people you care so much about might get hurt.â
â⊠you donât know me enough to say that you look like me.â
âPerhaps soâŠ. So I guess weâre another creature. So similar, yet so close, our distances are irresistibly separatedâ
To Lilanaâs words. Once, I closed my eyes and put my hand on my chest.
Weâre another creature, but weâre so alike, even our voices canât tell each other to reach.
â⊠I just said that Lilana wasnât like me, itâs really a hitâ
As I opened my eyes and faced Lilana directly in front of me, I reaffirmed the words I had just denied.
âBut thatâs why weâre different. It wasnât in Lylana, it was in me. Maybe thatâs just it. Because itâs another creature, it doesnât matter why⊠I grew up in a different environment.â
âEnvironmentâŠâ
âBeing yourself isnât always the right thing to do. Sometimes you have to do things that arenât you. I know that, and I didnât have to do that to Lilanaâ
â⊠you donât understand. What the hell do you think you can do with a life thatâs not who you are? Are you really satisfied with the results youâve achieved?
âIn the phase of seeking that answer, Lilana, I feel sorry for you. Thatâs your limit. Because you are alone, you can only find the right answer to being who you are. Thatâs why you have no future.â
Only the past, as I affirmed, Lilana can only create an ideal home by sublimating the suffering that is now there. Although that is one form of happiness, if we accept that happiness as the only one, we can no longer go anywhere.
So to Lilana, who thinks she can only save the world with the ideals she believes in, the world canât find a future even if she can. That means itâs complete. Itâs a world where people end up being people.
Lilana can be that receptacle. It also has all that power and vessels. But thatâs why I give a thought to the way it is.
â⊠as royalty of the Kingdom of Palettia, I do not think I can help but be hated by you. If you follow through on that idea, you will reach the Kingdom of Palletia. I must accept your thoughts as a royal bearer of my country.â
â⊠hate, maybe notâ
Pompous, Lilana threw up like a vain squeal.
âNo, I donât have hatred or anything in the first place. What I have is anger. Why are we so incomplete? You deny my ideals, even though you will all be saved if you become complete. While I admit thatâs right, I still say I canât. Conflict, oh, itâs a total contradiction. Where the hell do I get to?â
â⊠donât you have to get there?
âYou donât have to get thereâŠ?
âThe only end of the journey you can decide for yourself is your share. Maybe he thinks it has to end because he decides on someone elseâs journey. But if youâre alone, you can decide how far you want to go. For example, peopleâs journeys donât end when my journey is over. Until the day when man perishes.â
âUntil you perish, do you think people perish? Now that youâve done something beautiful, who are you?
âDoesnât perish. I wonât let it destroy me. I donât believe in the glow of people.â
Thatâs why I was able to come after Lilana. Not just to shelter, but to walk with you. I do what I can, what everyone can do. Thatâs how the world goes around. Iâm sure there will be more encounters, more separations. Joy, sorrow, only increases for that matter.
There must be a future beyond that. I believe I am. Thatâs why I wonât end the world here. I wonât let it close.
âCause this world, even in the sky, just reached out. Even the sea is an untouched realm in a world full of demons. The universe is another dream. But I know. People can put their hands on the realm.
The possibilities of this world are yet to be determined at the end of the journey. Now even with the small possibilities, I believe it should not stop attracting us like a shining star if we look up.
âIf the only thing in the sky is the moon⊠isnât the night sky so lonely? Lilana.â
â⊠no, the stars are in my arms, even if I end up in the moon-only night skyâ
To my begging words, Lilana put her hand on her chest with a resolute expression.
There was a crazy obsession there. But I feel it has turned into something more sharp than madness. It also beats madness â the light of will.
âWe wish people happiness, and we are so far apart from being able to empathize. Itâs just something different that I admired, maybe thatâs all the difference. But itâs keeping us apart by the time weâre hopelessâ
âLilanaâŠâŠâ
âI canât admit an endless journey. Maybe you believe in peopleâs possibilities. But I know how weak people are. Not everyone can stand that prayer. Maybe the world I want is closed, as you say. Compared to you, I finally decided on the form of my wish.â
â⊠what is your wish?
To my inquiry, Lilana grinned. With the grin of the Virgin, who included kindness like the Mother of Mercy, she uttered a wish that she could not comprehend with me by the time she was cruel.
âIâll put the world to sleep. Let us not grieve any more, that it may be death to those who live now, as you say, but let us invite everything to the shaking cage of the fine sleep of happiness so that we may not be hurt by the world that continues to move forward.â
â⊠really?

âCan you give up the sky?
â⊠I canât.â
âYes, I canâtâ
Our shapes are similar as they sound so much alike, but the place across from us is the opposite.
â⊠for example, if people get tired of walking, canât we walk together if itâs such a temporary dream that only then gives us a break?
âYou are a possibility, so I guess you can say that. And Iâm impossible, so I guess I can only give it back to you like this. â Iâm not going to forgive the suffering of this world.â
âYou canât compromise.â
âIâm not accommodating. Thatâs what life and death are for, isnât it?
Iâm the living one, and Lilanaâs the dead one. She laughed and distinguished our relationship.
If you live, something could change tomorrow. Thatâs a possibility left.
If you die, you wonât have to be afraid tomorrow. Such an absolute wait for me.
âI think Iâve killed a lot of people.â
â⊠Lylana?
âI found out because you were there. Youâre happy, and Iâm happy. Thereâs nothing I can do about that. We should let people choose. Thatâs why what I did is a lonely wagamama, as you say.â
âThen -!â
â- No, I still donât think itâs a mistake. If you continue to live and suffer, let it end. Fortunately, I will give you eternity. Even if that is a dream of unprecedented decadence, let me try to fulfill my eternal painless sleep instead of depriving myself of the possibility. That is my redemption for the lodgings that follow from my ancestors, who could only provide answers by pursuing eternityâ.
âThat redemption will not end! You will always be unacceptable just because there will continue to be more sins and corpses taking away the possibilities!
âYeah, thatâs right. So itâs nice to be forever. If someone is happily fine-sleeping just because I sin and keep making amends â Iâm good with thatâ
â⊠this, I donât know!!â
If youâve decided to be that ready, my words wonât go through anymore. There was a chance that we could walk together, even if it was only about as likely as a grain of sand.
Lilana buried the possibility of it of her own free will. Sheâs like a grave guard. Fill the world with grave markers and it wonât end until you see death. Unable to admit raw, she increases her corpses and sins forever.
Itâs absurd that the end of a vampire who wanted eternal life wants death for eternity. That wish, you can throw it away. Even though there are ways to make amends, I wish the world could never end.
If you canât get that wish anymore â we can only face each other by being hostile.
âYou told me to surrender.â
â⊠you canât beat me. Itâs not just the regenerative power of vampires.â
â- Did you think vampires were the only advantage of being monsters?
As Lilana waves her finger like a conductor, the residual light of light draws its tail from her finger.
And that light draws more and more light into the magic formation. I opened my eyes when I saw that magic formation spun to turn into a light sphere.
âNo way, thatâs â heh!
ââ Spirit manifestation, you were brilliant. The boulder is the ultimate in the righteous path to be reached by the wizard. We vampires have been corrupted by that measure. That is what expands the power of the demonic stones that feed the Spirit and elevates ourselves to the natural enemies of the Spirit. But it was pointless for you not to rely on the Spirit. Then letâs go back to the right path. Even if that path is a path that is not a Kingâs Road! You showed me the way too! âDemon Stoneâ and âMagicâ merge!
The light sphere cracks and distorted aliens emerge from inside. A multi-headed giant serpent whose serpent is formed in a dark moya, illuminated by the moonlight but swallowing even its light.
Only the head as a snake maintains a solid contour, its eyes shaking like vampire eyes suspiciously red light like flames.
âShall I take it from the Spirit Expression and call it the Demonic Expression? Now, let me give you a name. You are my servant, the great serpent who devours the world, whose name is Jormungand. â Swallow the hope of this world!
