Chapter 115

“Could it be you, Sullivan?”

– Yes, there was a time when I was called that name.

Sullivan murmured sentimentally.

I let out an indignant voice when I realized that it was Sullivan herself.

“As expected, the person who brought me here is you…!”

– I’m sorry. I couldn’t help it then. I was out of my mind.

“…….”

– To be precise, it was more like being dominated by Kun. Of course, whatever I say will sound like an excuse.

There was an illusion that the voice seemed to sigh.

Recognizing that it was her, her voice sounded clearer than before.

Sullivan said soothingly in a gentle tone.

– I waited for you to appear in my dreams with him.

“Then…”

– The Lexion Sparrow.

She continued, with a low smile.

– He’s a very strong person. He’s holding up against Kun’s curse.

Sullivan acted as if she were with Lexion.

I asked back in wonder.

“I don’t really understand, didn’t you sign a contract with me?”

– Strictly speaking, it’s true that we signed a contract.

“… … Isn’t that what it means?”

-It’s been a long time since the Awakener became a Traveler, and each Traveler was assigned a Contractor.

“Ah.”

As Alois said, as the book was separated, the soul seemed to be divided into two.

Then Sullivan spoke in a monotonous tone.

– My current contractor is Lexion Sparrow.

“But you turned Lexion into an evil dragon.”

– That…

“How can I believe you’re Sullivan? If you’re a real Sullivan, there would be no way the evil dragon would be able to continue the lineage.”

I asked in a wary voice.

Sullivan was said to be a wise man.

To stop Kun’s tyranny, she sealed him in a book and was imprisoned herself.

However, it didn’t make sense for her to lead the way to succeed the generation of evil dragons that would wreak havoc in the world.

Sullivan said, seeing through my doubts.

– As I said earlier, my mind was controlled by Kun.

“……Then why are you all right now?”

– I came to my senses with the help of my descendants. After that, I tried to guide the best way I could. 

Sullivan seemed to be embarrassed the angrier I got.

’This is unexpected….’

Alois thought it was Sullivan who contracted me.

It was because she thought that Lexion’s contractor had manipulated him into becoming an evil dragon.

I also did not disagree with her opinion.

As a result, Lexion had become the evil dragon.

And that too by tricking Lexion.

But what if Sullivan was controlled by Kun and led her to the path he wanted?

‘Come to think of it, Alois wasn’t sure about Sullivan’s condition.’

She only guessed that her eyes went dark*, but she was even being controlled by Kun.

TL/N: Her insight not working.

‘In the end, Kun was playing with three people. Going back and forth between the two books to turn the situation in his favor.’

Changing my ending was like trying to lead Lexion that way.

I almost mistook Sullivan for Kun.

There was no such mistake.

My heart went cold, and I rubbed my chest for no reason.

‘Maybe the book Alois said she saw was Lexion’s.’

Unlike me, Lexion has been regressing for a long time.

Naturally, I thought that the book would have been worn out together, so I was right about the events before and after.

I hadn’t noticed it right away when I talked to Alois.

It seems that this is why I felt something was lacking at that time.

‘Whether Alois intended it or not, it seems her spell awakened Sullivan’s consciousness.’

I asked calmly.

“When you say descendants, do you mean Alois Beth?”

– That’s right. She looks a lot like me. In my past life, I didn’t recognize her and drove her to death.

Sullivan murmured in an emotional tone.

It sounded as cozy as the voice of a mother reading a fairy tale.

She seemed to recall the many times she had returned with Lexion.

During that time, Alois would have died and died.

“Zion… Is he okay?”

– … … It’s not a very hopeful situation. But there’s plenty of room for change.

Sullivan spat out the words decisively as if to comfort me.

“Then tell me the way. If you feel even a little sorry for me.”

– Of course. I’m always on your side, Traveler.

“Please refrain from making comments like a guide. It’s confusing.”

— … …

Sullivan kept her mouth shut, probably at a loss for words.

Even that was like the guide, so it felt strange, but I continued.

“Alois said that your main body is also needed to lift Kun’s curse.”

– That’s right. Because in order to destroy a book, both books must meet.

“Don’t tell me you want to live longer now.”

– It’s been a long time since I gave up my life. Only regret remains.

Sullivan calmly spoke of her death.

It had been hundreds of years since Kun and Sullivan had become one.

Now, even if separated, both souls will die when the ‘book’ eventually disappears.

I was relieved as I didn’t know what to do if she said she didn’t want to die.

-Don’t worry. I know it’s better for the world to have books gone.”

“Is that also insight?”

– Kun is breaking the laws of nature too many times. He doesn’t seem to know yet that turning back the time that has passed is meaningless.

Sullivan sighed sadly.

It was probably referring to the time he turned around to use Lexion and me.

“Why does he keep obsessing over the ending of the book?”

– After completing the ending, he will be free. When he’s free, he’ll use me to fulfill his unfulfilled ambitions.

“Unfulfilled ambition… …?”

– He wants the glory of the past back. I’ve met a lot of travelers, but few have endured like you.

“Many people besides me have been affected.”

– I’m sorry.

Sullivan murmured softly.

If she materialized and was in front of me, I felt like she would have lowered her head for some reason.

I sensed something strange about Sullivan’s words.

Obviously, both books and the evil dragon were Kun’s means.

But the ending that kills evil dragons before and now?

It felt like something didn’t add up.

Then Sullivan asked a significant question.

– Didn’t you think something was weird? In your previous life, you had too much ability to be a mere supporting actor.

“That’s…”

– From the beginning, Kun wanted to make Lexion Sparrow into a new evil dragon. You were just the catalyst he needed.

Sullivan’s explanation left me speechless.

In the end, he used me to attract Lexion.

To make Lexion recognize the book from the start.

Sullivan continued.

-If you had tried to complete the ending of the first life safely from the beginning, he would have tried mind control on you. Like he did for others.

“He changed his strategy from before. It’s not a doll that moves as he wants, but a person who is me.”

– Yes. All previous travelers were mind controlled. The result was a failure.

“…….”

– After many failures, it became difficult to find the possessor, and in your generation, he tried to manipulate it using a trick called ‘travel’.

“Why is he doing that?”

– He put a seal on the book, so people here don’t recognize it.

“… …”

– In order to attract Lexion Sparrow, it was necessary to have a presence from another world.

“Ha!”

I was so out of breath that I couldn’t speak.

In the end, it means that the ‘I’ came in and changed the future of this world.

My stomach felt stuffy.

How many people’s lives have I changed by being brought here?

It was dizzying to think that the numerous choices I made because I was afraid of the penalty changed the future of the people around me.

It was even more frustrating that the biggest victim was Lexion.

Sullivan said as I looked distressed.

– Don’t worry. I’ll give it back to you.

“What should I do?”

Sullivan answered calmly when I asked helplessly.

– Come and see me. And complete the ending.

Sullivan made the same demands as Alois.

To what extent did Alois’ solution and Sullivan’s solution match?

I’ve had enough of that ending.

I asked in a trembling voice.

“Are you telling me to kill Lexion?”

– To be exact, it means to kill the ‘evil dragon’.

After Sullivan calmly explained, a compass appeared in the air.

When I looked at her incredulously, she continued.

– It’s a compass that marks the location of the book.

“Ah…”

Sullivan said as I quickly received the compass.

– Alois probably explained it roughly, but that’s not enough.

“Then…”

– Please pass this on. She’ll probably find out right away. 

Like before, something appeared in the air.

It was a piece of paper with spells drawn on it.

I quickly picked it up and put it in my pocket with what I received earlier.

– Listen carefully. Because I can only say it once…

With those words, Sullivan informed us that there was only one way.

And when I heard all of her story, the guide said.

– Let’s start the lucid dream.

It was an act of acting as if I had just entered here, but I proceeded with my dream casually.

With the items Sullivan gave me in my bosom.

TL/N: That was a heck lot of information! Seems like Kun made use of Tiarozety and Lexion’s multiple regressions without Tiarozety to make him so desperate for her.

Also, sweetpotato you guessed the part about Tiarozety and Lexion’s contractors correctly!!!
