391 Ex-Powerful, Worried About The Future
391 Ex-Powerful, Worried About The Future
It's been a long time since Soma met Lina.
For we had not seen each other for some time before we came to the Holy City.
But.
"It's been a long time, Lina..."
Just because we haven't seen each other in a long time would disqualify my brother for misseeing my sister.
And how Lina was, obviously, not normal.
Though he turns his consciousness toward Lina like that, Soma turns his gaze toward the demon who is falling to its feet.
No... if I was down, should I?
Because he was so faded that he could see the other side.
As it was, the demon faded away lightly.
I never thought I'd run away because it was at the end of the day like a splash.
Besides, if it wasn't my fault, the marginal remnants went to Lina and seemed to disappear so that she could be absorbed.
"Hmm... I have a lot to ask, but what do you mean there's no more demons left for now?
"No... I just checked on that. Sure, it looks like all the demon signs just disappeared."
"What does that mean? They knocked us out while we were in the world... No, we don't."
"... Well, time must have stopped"
"Does that mean I missed it,?
"Hmmm... I'm not going to have that shoulder, but I don't think it's going to be that far-fetched."
Then I turned my gaze to see what it meant, and Satya shrugged her shoulders just saying she was right.
However, the atmosphere is somewhat full of tension.
"Of course I didn't miss it. I just... I don't know if I can tell you it wasn't a detour. I did feel signs of the fourth demon the whole time. Nevertheless, it exists somewhere, so it was ambiguous... and I misidentified it because of it."
"It's roundabout. If you have something to say, just make it clear."
"I still thought about this for once. Well, even if it's not clear, you understand it by and large. Especially you, Soma. You knew that before I talked?
"... well, I certainly expected some. Lina somehow felt signs of remembrance... and now the signs are felt stronger."
"Hey... somehow, I don't have a good feeling about you?
"Right... maybe, but honestly, it's not what I want you to hit..."
"... but, given the circumstances, there is only one"
The gaze of everyone on the spot, as guided by Sheila's words, was simultaneously directed towards Lina.
But Lina never moves one eyebrow.
When I exhaled one instead of the other, I opened my mouth looking back with my eyes that didn't make me feel the emotions.
"That's just great. I was going to hide it for once."
"Eh... that means..."
"You, I knew..."
"... absorbed the power of the devil?
"Exactly."
The response, which is pale, showed no more clearly that that is why it is true.
There's no reason to lie here in the first place.
Felicia and Aina are upset about that, and while their expressions are still scarce, Sheila seems upset.
The other half, although it was only upset, was not calm either.
"Normally, I just want to say it's impossible... if you're the Lord, it's possible."
"To be honest, there's more to it than I expected... well, sure, if you say it's possible.... I don't think it's sane."
I just didn't know exactly what that meant, but I can do it with some guesswork.
Because from Lina today, I feel not just the signs of the devil, but even the power of the devil.
I also found that that was only marginal, but that's why I suppress it.
Above all, he absorbed the power of the devil, even though he was a man.
That's not a good thing until you think about it.
"Hmm... so why did you do that? I'm not sure it's a coincidence or anything."
If it's just that you've defeated the devil in one piece and absorbed that power, you can't say enough about that.
But Lina appeared on purpose, and defeated the devil.
Obviously you must be doing it intentionally, with some purpose.
"It's - No, I just found out, it doesn't make sense. And anyway, you'll soon find out."
I was about to say something, Lina, but I turned my back when I told her that I changed my mind along the way.
It is obvious that he is about to leave as is, but naturally his voice is thrown on its back.
"Wait. While taking away the power of the devil, its purpose is unknown. Besides, you think you can go home without a thing while you break into my temple on your own?
"On the contrary, I ask, why do you think you can't? Oh, let me tell you one thing... your proud apostle is so useless, isn't he?
"... what?
"And no matter what I do, I am more at my disposal than there is no one here who can get in my way. … of course, your brother is no exception."
The words could not be cleaned up in a grand language.
Because the power unleashed by overflowing from Lina's body at the moment was certainly just something to say.
At least, it would definitely be the biggest thing I've ever felt in this world.
Or maybe even beyond the Hildegards of previous life -
"Hmm, I just wanted to say I'll give it a try... how about we just start a sibling fight here"
"... even for me, I'm not stingy with my brother, but now is not the time. Before your brother, you have to go beyond your parents first."
Telling that only unilaterally, Lina abruptly disappeared from the spot.
I wonder when I'll be able to do that, but not now.
"Is that the power of the devil?
"Bye. Technically, it's something like that… I'm just surprised you're using it so brilliantly."
"No, I don't think so. Her powers are highly intimate with the devil in the first place."
"And if you're comfortable talking about that......!?
"... I'm definitely going to do something"
"Sure... no matter what you think, it didn't feel serene... plus the last words she left behind"
"Well, I know that... there's nothing more we can do than know exactly what Lina's up to."
I'm not optimistic that it'll be okay because it's about Lina.
Rather, it is because we are most vigilant that we think we should be ahead of the discernment without moving in a detour.
Whatever Lina is thinking, it is only true that she has absorbed at least four parts of the demon's power.
And their demons came to destroy this world.
Therefore, after assuming also the worst, priority should now be given to thinking.
"Ma, what I know for now... is that apparently he doesn't even have time to relax and rest"
Whimpering about that, Soma looks far away... in the direction of Radius and narrows her eyes.
I would be there, thinking of my father and mother, and Lina, exhaling one thing with what would happen.
