“Hmm, black. hi… Black, uh… 」
“… … Don’t cry, Yuri. It’s not going far.”
“Don’t lie… … 」
“I will definitely come back to you before the thirtieth night passes, so in the meantime, you should listen carefully to your father and mother.”
“I hate it… … 」
“… Make sure you buy your favorite snack on the way home. Now, let’s put it on our finger and promise… … 」
“I don’t need it… … 」
“glass… 」
“I hate it… Don’t go… … 」
“… … 」
“I hate not seeing you again… don’t go… brother ah… … 」
“… … Yuri, my only younger brother.”
“… … Hmmm.”
“Have you seen this older brother not keeping his promise?”
“… … no.”
“that much… A promise with you is more precious than anything else in the world. I’ll definitely watch you… … stop crying I think I’m going to lose my dignity too… 」
“Why do you have to go… … Someone else can go… … 」
“If I don’t go, I will lose you. I can’t lose you, so I have to go.”
“me too… I mean, I don’t want my brother to disappear… 」
“Because it’s not.”
“Don’t lie… … 」
“… … glass.”
“… … 」
“One more thing, let’s make a promise.”
“… … What, promise?”
“Think of that ribbon as me. If I do that, I will never leave Yuri from your side for even an hour. So as long as you have the ribbon… … 」
Silly.
dummy.
Liar… …
“Wherever you are, I will always be watching over you. glass.”

… …
The roar that resonated throughout the area subsided in an instant.
Everyone’s breath stopped in an instant.
“… Ahh. It’s night.”
Endless darkness spreads out. Complete darkness where not even a single light could be seen. Even the shape of an object cannot be distinguished. It was such a deep and dark night.
“It’s the thirtieth night.”
He has lost all his sight, so he cannot see. However, it was because the sun had disappeared beneath the ground, so he was mistaken. Unless someone told me, no, even if I did, it was a truth I would never realize myself… …
“Isn’t it too late yet… … 」
The blind man creaked his crushed vocal organs. The pitch of the notes is completely out of line, and the words are arbitrarily broken into pieces. As a result, the meaning is also unclear. I can only barely infer. He was muttering poignantly with the slightest wretched hope.
“It’s not over yet… … 」
It is now the thirtieth night. Beyond the plains, the dawn did not rise. So, you can keep your ‘promise’. may not be violated. That’s definitely a good thing.
… … But, why is it so heavy and sad? Is it so sad that it makes your heart flutter? Is it because of that, tears are flowing? and.
… … What is that ‘promise’?
You don’t have to remember anything. can’t remember The regrets and longings that remained and wandered around even after death. just follow it relentlessly. my people. my country. mine family. did you keep them all kept won If so, let’s go back. Let’s go back to where my lovely family awaits… …
The corpse that was carefully stored and not decomposed was still intact at that time.
The hair was stiff because the blood was clinging to it. The color of the hair that shines through it closely resembles someone’s color. If washed properly, it would shine like the sun.
His eyes are open, but his insides are murky as if they were empty.
Scars all over the body.
It was a sign of a very grueling battle.
A hole through a spear, a piece of bone exposed in the flesh cut by a knife, a burnt wound, a twisted joint… … It was by no means a normal figure, but Rubia, who finally had a form with a sense of déjà vu in her sight, muttered with a dazed tone.
“Ezio… … two people… … ?”
Everyone in the party, except for someone, looked back at Ezio, who was crying raw, engulfed by uncontrollable violence, and looked in disbelief.
Except for the hair that had lost its original color due to the dark red blood, it was very similar to the figure of a corpse that had risen from the ground.
It was not unreasonable to mistakenly think that Ezio became two people, as they resembled not only the face but also the body shape.
but.
“… … brother.”
only one.
Not as much as Yuri von Artina, looking back at Ezio Cranil with that familiar face.

Naberius gave a deep smile.
“Yes, it is your brother. Yuri von Artina.”
“… … brother. right?”
Nothing was heard. My head went numb. A warm feeling swelled up from within. I instinctively tried to get up, but my limbs didn’t move. why, why in action. Yuri fluttered and tried to get closer to my brother somehow.
“brother Brother.”
“I have to go back… … 」
“brother!”
Yuri’s voice was torn. but it doesn’t reach I’m sure it’s close The older brother did not look down on him even when his younger brother called. Why? Now we meet again. Is my brother not happy at all? I’m not like that. Now it’s just the way it was in my memories that were gradually fading, I can’t stop the tears from flowing. For over ten years, I’ve been missing you every night… …
“You’re my brother… ? ah.”
Eidel von Artina. Rubia had heard the name a few days ago. The first prince of the Kingdom of Artina. Yuri’s only brother. Seeing Yuri reacting so violently, it seemed certain.
I couldn’t figure out why it was buried in the basement of this cavity, or why… … It wasn’t that important. Eidel’s body, which was not even known whether he was dead or alive, was eventually found here. In other words– Eidel had already died a long time ago.
such an idol,
That Naberius was resurrected as an undead.
“What the hell are you doing… … !”
Rubia grinded her teeth, swallowing in surprise. It’s not enough to despise the dead, to take their corpses hostage. Rubia trembled at the disgust that pierced her body.
“What are you-?”
Naberius scoffs thinly.
“I was earnestly wishing for it, so only half of that wish came true. I have no idea which one of them is wrong.”
He said so with a weak expression on his face.
“Brother, what… … ”
Mu didn’t quite understand the situation. I wondered if Naberius would raise a corpse from the ground, and it wasn’t that his appearance looked exactly like Ezio—Yuri suddenly started a game and shouted.
From what I’ve heard, the name Eidel von Artina… He seemed to be Yuri’s older brother. Then a thought flashed through Mew’s head like lightning.
‘What I said was fate… … ‘
same thoughts,
Stella was doing it too.
The fate of Yuri that Stella said she saw. Ezio’s face he saw there. It wasn’t Ezio. It was the appearance of Eidel von Artina, who looked alike enough to be mistaken for Ezio. Because of that— Yuri’s sudden and strange reaction a while ago began to be clearly understood.
Stella remembered part of what she had said to Ezio a while ago.
– I saw you there. Your uniform was all torn and burned, you couldn’t see where you went, and you were staggering around in rags.
It goes without saying that the two cannot be distinguished. I could barely confirm the shape, let alone the color of the hair.
The scene was only fleeting.
I knew that Naberius, a necromancer and necromancer, would appear in this place, but I never imagined that it was the corpse of someone already dead other than Ezio. Because it was the face of Ezio Cranil… …
Up to that point, it was difficult to understand. I see That’s how it happened.
As a result, the real Ezio was also injured, but in any case, things were going according to their destiny.
If so, the rest of the destiny will come true as it is. For example, after the body of Eidel von Artina appears.
——Yuri being killed by that corpse.
“Brother, brother ah ah!”
“Oh my gosh, the bones are broken. Especially don’t let me go A touching reunion… Feel free to taste it.”
As Naberius waved his hand, the intangible energy that bound the glass disappeared at once. After suddenly raising her free body, Yuri slowly staggered towards her rotten older brother.
“The way back… where… … 」
“How did this happen… … brother.”
His hands and feet are trembling, and his eyes are droopy. At that glass, Naberius clicked his tongue and shook his head.
“I’m sorry, but I can’t understand you right now. When the body was acquired, the organs responsible for hearing and sight were all crushed.”
“The corpse is… … ”
Perhaps.
If the.
At least one… … I thought I might be alive
After all, it was a vain dream.
“He said he would come back. You said you would definitely come back… … ”
Yuri looked at Eidel’s wretched misery. I saw my precious family hurt so much. I saw the end of the Crown Prince who bravely jumped into the battlefield to protect his family and country.
“You idiot, you idiot… Liar… … ”
It was very difficult to keep my eyes open. My vision was blurry. It was foggy, so it was impossible to tell what was what. However, I could clearly feel the presence of my brother in front of me.
About that time, Naberius laughed a little.
“You bastard, stay there and watch. If you take even one more step from the spot, I will immediately blow up the bodies of this guy and Eidel.”
“… … ”
Even Ezio, who was staggering and glaring at Naberius, could not act hastily. If you try to attack Naberius, who is right next to Yuri and Eidel, they will get caught up in the same. At the border between instinct and reason, Ezio could barely choose the latter.
“Hey, what happened… … ”
Compared to other parts, Idel’s hands are still intact.
Idel’s clunky right hand, unable to see where the ring finger went, Yuri trembled and held it in her hands.
Maybe it’s because they’ve reached the same age? There wasn’t a huge difference in size as before. Again, my throat was stuffed.
“brother… ”
OK.
“Ghost, huh?”
Eidel barely spoke, moving her broken jaw.
“nothing… I can’t see it. Now you’re holding my hand… Who is it?”
He twisted his body and head as if to be wary of his surroundings, but it was pathetic because he was so powerless.
Yuri’s crying grew even worse.
“It’s me, it’s me… brother. glass. I can’t see… ?”
“But… It doesn’t look like a ghost… 」
Since he couldn’t hear anything, Eidel just muttered blankly.
“The ghost’s hand… There’s no way it’s so soft and warm… 」
Tears of blood flowed from the white eyes.
“Ahh… ”
Even around the eyes of the glass.
Transparent water drops ran down the cheeks.
… …
Yuri bowed her head. Still holding Eidel’s hand. He remained silent without saying anything.
Mew, Rubia, and Stella are bound by Naberius. Ezio is staring at Naberius and chewing his molars as if to death.
‘It’s over.’
On the other hand, Naberius is calm and calm.
it became this Ezio Cranil can no longer interfere with himself. Soon the Lord will come. Then… …
“This is only a temporary resurrection, and it cannot be maintained for long. Unless stored, the body will gradually decompose as time goes by, and the soul that is left with only crumbs will naturally perish. If that happens, the chance for your brother to be revived is lost forever. Yuri von Artina.”
“… … ”
after a while.
Yuri opened her mouth quietly.
“you… I killed you… ?”
“no.”
Naberius briefly denied it.
“I just got the transported corpse by accident. It wasn’t me who killed your brother. … But I know the name of the demon I guess, so I can get you revenge if you want.”
“… … By what means.”
“It’s up to you to figure it out.”
revenge.
Stella is here to take revenge on Naberius. Yuri can’t forgive Naberius either.
You tore and killed your dear friend’s parents and insulted him in front of him. Naturally, his teeth tremble, and his hips tremble with anger.
But now, if Naberius dies here, my brother, who will finally be reunited after long over the 30th night… … can no longer be seen
“It can be saved.”
and.
“Again, you can live. It’s not like half a corpse like it is now… … I can bring you back to the Eidel von Artina you remember. It can make resurrection possible in the true sense of the word.”
Yuri, who had shrugged her shoulders at Naberius’s demonic whispers, had no choice but to react in some way.
“Do you not want to return to the warm arms of your family? Don’t you want to get back the person you loved the most?”
“… … ”
“It is impossible for me alone. However.”
yet again.
“The Lord is possible.”
flapping its wings
“Follow the demon. Convince your friends.”
Naberius whispered quietly.
“If you do… Your wishes will come true.”
