"................ ...What?

　The question spills out of Luna's mouth.
　But it wasn't that she didn't understand what the best (Jeff) said.

　Somehow, vaguely, she thought.

　It was going to continue like this.
　That they would still enjoy laughing and living together while being plagued by the ghosts of many secrets.

　She hadn't even imagined that she would be asked to leave so abruptly.

　Seeing Luna confused like that, Ichiban (Jeff) smiles just a little sadly.

"In this workshop, the name of the magic that the Commander (Isis) has been studying for a long time is called
　Ichiban (Jeff) looks at the magic circle surrounded by lights.

It is the magic that makes reincarnation possible. Connecting thoughts, connecting memories, connecting power, the root cause of being cast can gain a new life.

　＜The magic called had a familiar ring to it.
　When I first met it, the creator gods of this bubble world, Ehrenesia and Celis, had talked about it.

''
...experiment...?

　I knew what they were doing.
　I knew what they were trying to do.

　Still, the words poked out of my mouth in a daze.

'It's a magical experiment with the root source. Someone has to go to the Underworld.'

　＜At a time when the reincarnation (silica) had not yet been completed, that magical experiment was as good as resigning oneself to destruction.

　However, as long as is a magic of reincarnation, it is an inevitable path.

''Even if the best possible result was obtained, this experiment is the first time we've tried it. There will be no more memories. We don't know how much of our thoughts and powers will remain, or when we will be able to be reincarnated. Therefore, this is our farewell.

No...

　I've got to stop it, Luna thought on the spur of the moment.
　Before she could think of a way to do that, she was crowding Cerys.

'No!　＜You'll never succeed in transmigration (silica). It's because that's not how the whole ocean order works. I heard that all the best magicians have tried it, but none of them have succeeded. And besides, you're a misfit...!

　The first (Jeff) shows surprise at Luna's swordsmanship.
　Cerise's eyes sharpened, as usual.

'What do you know?'

I don't know if you'll believe me.

　Luna is desperately trying to wrap her head around it.

　I can't prove that there is an outside world.
　But with the way this world works, I can foretell its end.

'I know the future,' she says. I know the future, I know how this world is going to end. This world, out of harmony with its order, will come to an end. Only the Lord God, born of a god race, and the Conformists, an evolved race, can prevent that from happening.

　Looking into Cerise's eyes, Luna pleaded hard.
　I have to make sure he's not going to be discouraged.

　Otherwise, Ichiban (Jeff) will die a futile death.

'The non-conformists are the wayward beings of an evolved race. Because they are abhorred by the order, they will never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever.

What about it?

　Celis kicked Luna's words to the curb.

''You may not believe me, I don't have any proof or anything, but it's true...!　Please, not this one.

Nonsense.

　Celis says.

'How can I--'

If what you say is true, so what?

　Luna was speechless for a moment.

'No matter what you do ... because if you know you won't succeed, it's not worth it. It's better to give up and do what you can, right?　If you fail, what happens to the best (Jeff)?

"It is the work of the living to fear failure and to despise destruction. We ghosts can only fight.

　Luna is stunned.

　He is not pissed off.
　Nor is he dismissing Luna's words out of hand.

　Even if he knew about the Silverwater Seaside, he would surely not stop.
　No matter what, he will never stop, that demon's eye speaks strongly to me.

''........What are you fighting for?''

Nothing but victory. This stupid world is so arrogantly pompous. I want to show you things. I don't care if I rot in this world!

　A purple light flashed in his eyes.
　His bright demon eyes were staring into the distant future as well as sometime in the future.

''I'm definitely going to lose?　You died for nothing...!

He didn't live.

　Ceris glared at Luna.
　But for once, she didn't back down.

'Wake up,' she said. Fighting against the world is just barren. Who's next in line for first (Jeff)?　With so many friends and everyone involved in the fight, what does that leave you with?

　Grabbing up Celis' clothes, Luna tried her best to convince her.

''Well I don't know what you're thinking, but with kindness rather than resentment...''

　Luna's mind was on her grandfather Dominic.

　Not even the Silver Water Holy Sea's destruction was on his mind, and he wanted to study the lion of destruction in Arzenon.
　He even turned his grandson Luna into the Princess of the Abyss of Misfortune and made her bear a heavy fate.

　The grandfather and Celis, who were dedicated to the study of phantasms, looked like one another.

"If this is the case, I'm a monster driven by madness...!

That's enough, Princess.

　First (Jeff) said.

'The Commander (Isis) is not wrong.

　Luna turns around.

　He has a calm expression on his face.
　Even though he's about to leave for the underworld, he doesn't show an ounce of dissatisfaction.

''Because........I'm going to die.......!

Yeah.

You won't succeed.

Yeah.

Well why?

　Best (Jeff) laughs, as usual.

'There's no point in living for the sake of living, you know?

　That's what Luna said to Cerys earlier.

''I don't know ... what everyone says is always so difficult ...''

　As he says it, Luna walks over to Ichiban (Jeff).

"The ghosts do not speak. But it would be nice to have a last minute look.

　He snaps so lightly.

'For example, yes. I wanted to return the living who had wandered into the home of the ghosts to a place in the sun. That's why we didn't put a number on you, we all called you Princess.

Is that...?

"Speak for yourself.

　The first (Jeff) laughed as he said thoughtfully.

We are nameless knights facing death. Fighting is our nature. No one will grieve for us, no matter where we die.

　His determination is unwavering.

　I don't know.
　They are always hiding secrets, something important.

　But yes, I think there is a hint of tenderness there.

　Isn't it?
　Isn't it madness?

　Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to look so calm.

　They, the Knights of the Phantom Name, may have a reason that Luna doesn't know.
　A reason that cannot be put into words--.

　No matter what Luna, who doesn't understand this, can't stop him, no matter what he says.

　He is willing to go to the place of death.
　He's going to go.

　Therefore, she thought desperately about what she could do now.

But I'm sure I'll cry.......

　First (Jeff) embraced Luna.

'One thing. I have a concern.'

　In a whisper in Luna's ear, Ichiban (Jeff) said.

'What?'　Whatever you say.

"We will be reborn in turn. If any of you will see the Commander (Isis) to the end.

I will. I'll make sure he eats bread every day.

　Calmly, Ichiban (Jeff) smiled, then said again.

'It was the Commander (Isis) who told me to call you Princess.

What...?

　Quickly, Ichiban (Jeff) pulled away from Luna.

　Is he talking to himself all the time?
　But for once, he didn't say he was talking to himself.

'Commander (Isis).'

　The first (Jeff) throws the scarlet marrow pathetic Dilfinstein.
　Celis received the spear with her right hand.

　The scarlet marrow pathetique contains the majority of his magical power.
　 Even if he succeeds in the experiment, it's a calculation that he can't inherit enough of his power.

　It wasn't certain if the reincarnated him would be able to use the Scarlet Marble Pathetique, but if it was the same root source, it was possible.

''I'll leave it with Ehrenesia. If you remembered it, go get it.

Yes, sir.

　Ichiban (Jeff) walks quietly over and stands in the center of the fixed magic circle.

　Ceris stabbed Dirfinshtein into the ground and drew the Ten Thousand Thunder Swords from the magic circle.

'Do you have any lasting thoughts?'

We are ghosts. We are ghosts, and we have no need for regrets in this world.　

　The best (Jeff) laughs.
　Celis felt like she laughed, too, just slightly.

　I'm not going to be the only one who can do that.

　The purple electric gusher of the sword approached Ichiban (Jeff)'s body and pierced the entire source of the sword.

　The purple lightning that raged at close range swallowed Celis as well.
　But he did not try to use anti-magic to protect himself.

　The fierce yet sharp purple lightning burns his body and slashes through his demon eyes and eyes.

　Drops of blood spill out of Ceris' eyes, which do not change a single expression, with a plop, a plop.

The ghosts will not die. We will not rest in peace.

　The body of Ichiban (Jeff) disappeared without a trace, and the magic circle was activated.
　The cave was filled with a dazzling light.
