I stared at the lifeless body of the Chancellor. “It had to be done. There wasn’t any other way,” I mumbled to myself. The one that caused it all – my struggles, Eryn’s, Katsys’s, Saki’s, those in both the Kingdom of Sistina and the country of Sanshiro – was now silenced by my blade. His
I stared blankly at the elven girl beside me, her emerald eyes locked onto mine as we examined each other. Something about her was different than normal. I could tell from how composed she was despite the fact that we were in the middle of a heated battle between the Chancellor and Saki. ‘What are
Having looked through her memories in order to know what to block, the Chancellor knew all about her final moments. Saki had been treated poorly in her previous world, and her powerlessness to save the one she loved only drove her into despair, perfect for triggering a demonification in the future.

Leaping out of bed and sprinting out of my tent, I joined various others who were gathering to repel the sudden assault on our location.

Especially, if I had to fight off the surrounding crowd of people with the other one. “Hey! Mind letting go? You aren’t making this easy, you know?” When she
The return to Sistina had been an uneventful ride. Most of us kept ourselves occupied to avoid dwelling on what we would be encountering upon arrival.
