The young Toa seemed to like Ms. Rosalia as a child.
　I'm still waiting for my memory to be processed (,,,,,,,) and it's dark around me.

　So, "Sister! And I heard Toa's voice again.
　

　This is Lucius-san's memory.
　But since the start of this darkness, I haven't heard Lucius-san's or Electra-san's voices.
　That means the two of them are not nearby.
　So, then I wondered what about Lisa-san, who was playing the role of Toa's maid, but I can't hear that person's voice either.

　I guess Rosalia-san was the only person in Toa's life.

　That's when the changes began to appear in the surroundings again.
　I closed my eyes there once I got tired of seeing that change in the landscape.
　Then, I cursed for a few seconds, and then slowly opened my eyes.

'Sis, what was that?'

　The garden ... it was the garden of the Demon King's Castle.
　The large room where Lucius-san always looks at the world mirror.
　It's a large garden that extends next to it.

　It was located on a spacious terrace that could be seen between the garden and the castle.
　You can see the narrow stone columns, floors and stairs made of what looks like white marble.
　The same style as now.
　And then Toa pointed to something in the middle of it and asked Rosalia about it.

'What?'

See?　There's something over there!

　Rosalia said, "Where? And I stared in the direction Toa was pointing.
　And just then, I noticed it too.
　-The World Mirror.
　It was unmistakably that mirror.
　Did Lucius-san leave it behind?
　I tilted my head and followed behind Rosalia-san, who was pulling Toa's hand.

'This is...'

　Rosalia was puzzled as soon as she saw the world mirror.
　She gently touched the mirror and then traced her fingers around the edges.
　All the while, Toa stared at the mirror and looked up curiously at Ms. Rosalia's face, which didn't answer anything.

'Sis, is this your father's?'

I don't know.

　Then I saw Lucius-san's figure.
　Next to him was Electra-san, and the two of them were talking happily about something.
　I've never seen them looking so happy.
　The current expressions of those people are basically cloudy.
　Especially Lucius-san, unlike Electra-san, even his fake smile looks dark.
　And yet, these two people walk over while smiling as if they are close.

　And there was another unfamiliar figure next to Lucius-san.

''Lucius, is that your daughter?''

Yeah, Toatrica and Rosalia.

Hmm?　What was that?　A gift for me?

　Is this a .........carpent?
　It was unmistakably a black dragon when it transformed into human size.
　--It was Carpent ze Bach.
　Why would the 《Dragon Heart》 be with Lucius-san?

A gift?　What are you talking about?

Hmm?　Isn't it?　Then what was that?　Your little bastard's got something to show for it.

　Then Lucius-san noticed the mirror. At the same time, I notice it too.

　So, this is the memory of the day Lucius-san said that the world mirror appeared in the garden.
　At this point in time, this is still just a mirror, not a world mirror.
　So as soon as Lucius-san is in front of that mirror, he is just as confused as Rosalia-san earlier.

''This is........ Rosalia, take care of the Toa.''

　Lucius urged Rosalia-san to make the Toa step back.
　He traced the edge of the world mirror with his eyes as if he were looking at something strange, just like Rosalia-san.

　Next to him, Carpent was greeting Toa and Rosalia-san.
　What a gentlemanly dragon.
　He seems more friendly than the black dragon I know.

　But still, with Khalifa-san's story and Lucius-san's memories, this dragon appears everywhere.
　While Lucius-san and Electra-san were puzzled, Carpent was smiling and seemed to be having fun and continuing a conversation with them.

''Carpent, do you know what this is?''

Lucius asked after a while.

Hmm?　What, it's not yours?

No. And there's usually nothing here to begin with. Rosalia, you just found it?

'Yes. The Toa said there was something about...

　Come to think of it, I believe I heard that it was Rosalia who first found the World Mirror........is Lucius-san misremembering?

So this is what it looks like when it comes. Carpent, what does this look like?

I'm not sure what it is, but it's a little hard to put into words. It's as if it has a will.... is it my imagination?

I don't know. I don't feel anything. Electra, do you recognize this?

No. I don't even know what to do with it in the treasury.

'Yeah, everything in there has a strong magical quality to it. Only the clear ones.

Who?

　At that moment, I suddenly heard Toa's voice talking to someone, and I moved my gaze to Toa.
　Then I moved my gaze to Toa, and there I saw Toa staring into the mirror as if my eyes were dazzled.

The Toa?　What's going on?

　Rosalia-san is looking into Toa's face with concern.
　Perhaps because she was in the middle of a chat with Carpent, her expression is soft.

''Who are you?　Why are you there?

Toa!　What's the matter with you!

　But then Rosalia-san's blood changed.
　This is because Toa was talking to the mirror, staring at it as if her consciousness had been brought to the mirror.
　Even though Rosalia-san grabbed her shoulder, Toa didn't take her eyes off the mirror as if she didn't notice.
　And she didn't respond to Rosalia-san's voice either.
　Lucius-san talks to Electra-san too, but Toa doesn't move her eyes from the mirror.

　At that time, a dazzling light is suddenly emitted from the mirror that had no reaction.

''Nah!　What a light!

　Lucius-san reflexively covered her face with her arms, and Electra-san did the same, blocking out the light.

''I knew it was a magic tool!

　Carpent, who seemed convinced of something, looked sharply into the mirror to see if it wasn't dazzling.

　It illuminated the walls of the castle and the gardens, and each of the people gathered there.
　All the while, no one could move, and I could only watch from the side.
　But even if they couldn't move, it was only for a moment.
　The light that appears immediately contracts as if to go back into the mirror.
　And as my eyes adjusted, I saw Toa standing in front of the mirror again.

'Lucius, let go of the boy. 'I have a bad feeling about something' - and Carpent, who looks out of place. But his voice is calm.

　The light had subsided, but there was a flurry of activity around.

'Rosalia, get the Toa away from the mirror!

　And that's when Ms. Rosalia tried to get Toa away from the mirror -

"Masamune?

　-- I felt as if time had stopped.
　

'Wait!'

　That's when Lucius-san stopped.
　Rosalia-san stopped moving and turned her gaze to Lucius-san as if she was confused.

''Toa, what did you just say?　What do you see in the mirror?

　Lucius-san crouched down and brought his face closer to Toa's height.
　The place went quiet, and then the Toa slowly turned back to Lucius-san standing next to him.

'Toa, what's going on?　What do you see in the mirror?

　Lucius-san seemed convinced that something was reflected in the mirror.
　After that question, Toa turned around once, but immediately turned his gaze to the mirror as if he was distracted again.
　But as soon as he turned his attention back to the others, Toa asked, "Father? And he seems to be conscious.
　As soon as he looks at Lucius-san, who has a mysterious look on his face, he has a question mark on his face, as if he has just learned that his father is right in front of him.

'Toa? ...What's going on?　Is there someone else in the mirror?

Mirror?

Have you been talking to someone?

　Mr. Lucius is asking frantically, but Toa looks distracted.
　Then the Toa looks in the mirror again.
　And after a moment, he returns his gaze to Lucius-san again, just as before.
　At that time, Toa's expression wasn't distracted, but had changed to a light smile.

''--There's no one there.

　The Toa replied in a young voice.
　Immediately after that, Toa's figure was engulfed in black smoke and the landscape was closed to darkness again.

''Wait, wait!　Now Toa says my name! ....

　But the darkness didn't listen to my call, and my vision completely shut down.

　But ... as Toa said.
　--"Masamune".

　But that doesn't make any sense.
　Because Toa doesn't even know me these days.
　I wasn't even in this world yet.
　Then how did the Toa know me?
　You think I'm in the mirror? .........

　But as always, this darkness is just that, darkness.
　And all I could do was worry about being barren.







"I'm going to show you the pain...

　Suddenly, a low voice echoed in the darkness.
　It was a voice filled with anger that gave me a little goosebumps.
　-- and at the same time, the darkness in the area cleared.

　It was the hall of the throne room of Ragpalos, and the three demon clans, including Ignotus, could be seen in the room.

''We've been waiting for this moment...''

Do you want me to send a squad of assassins to assist you?

No, we're not. We're on our own.

Poron by himself?

The opponent is Rosalia. The moment you face her, she can read you with her Emotional Sensing. Even if we outnumber them, five is the limit. Lucius will know. He'll know anyway, but all that matters is time.

'I see. So it's just us.......that's a bonehead!

We ain't gonna break no bones. There's nothing the three of us can't do. We ain't gonna end up like our father.

....

"Even though they mocked him for being the Demon King with a human mix, he didn't do anything about it. He just laughed at it. As a result, discrimination has reduced the people of Lagoparos to the status of citizens. And now we're all living in a cave. Well, Felsen, didn't you?　Did Urszola and the Shastain people take you in for a moment?

No....

This is no time for whining. Vicious, this is where we start. It's a start.

Anusu!

I'm going to kill Rosalia.

　Ignotus said, and headed for the great door. And they followed.







　It was the lake of origin.
　I've never been here in real life, but I wonder if the lake still looks like this?

　There was a lone figure, Rosalia, staring at the lake.
　Rosalia-san was just as beautiful as Toa now, smiling from time to time, and seemed to be passing the time by touching the surface of the lake.

''It's late...''

　Apparently, they were waiting for someone else.
　But I had a bad feeling about it.

　Then, it started to rain suddenly, one by one.
　Rosalia-san was sheltering from the rain in the shade of a tree beside me.

　In my case, I'm not present there and I don't get wet in the rain, but I was under the same tree with Rosalia-san for a while.

　I know what's going to happen now.
　I don't know if it will be after the next darkness or the one after that, but Ms. Rosalia will die.
　Ms. Lucius is going to show me that.

　Just then, three people in black coats and hoods appear in front of me.
　Rosalia-san noticed them immediately and turned her attention to them.

''You guys........''

I'm not going to waste my time. Rosalia you will die for your country.

　It was Ignotus' voice. In other words, it was Vicious and Felsen on both sides.

''........Ignotus.

　Perhaps it was 《Emotional Sensing》.
　Rosalia-san realized that it was Ignotus.
　Immediately after, the two figures on both sides of Ignotus disappeared.

　Already Rosalia-san's expression had changed to one filled with killing intent.
　Perhaps she understood the meaning of this situation.
　Just as Ignotus had read, Rosalia-san, who was able to use 《Emotional Sensing》, seemed to see it all through.

　At that moment, a hooded Felsen appeared in front of Rosalia-san's eyes and tried to strike her with his purple-lit right arm.
　But Rosalia-san saw out the moment and delivered a spinning kick to Felsen's stomach.

''Guhaha!''

　Felsen was sent flying wide, but Ignotus caught it.

'It's too early to be hemmed in, eh?

No problem.

　Felsen seems to have taken more than a little damage.
　But even though he was only kicked in the stomach, his expression is heavy.
　Perhaps Rosalia-san is better at being a demon race than him.
　I don't know how the demon race fights, but even a thrust of that degree seems to be quite painful for Felsen.

　Next, Viciousness appeared from the sky in a heel-drop stance to Rosalia-san.
　However, Rosalia-san caught it with her right arm and grabbed Bishas's leg with her right arm and knocked it directly to the ground.

''Niuahhhh!　Big brother!　Brother!

　--vomiting blood.
　Bishas called for help while his mouth was dripping with blood.
　As I thought, there seems to be a huge power difference between Rosalia-san and these two.
　But I don't think Rosalia-san is even using magic.
　I'm not sure for sure.

''Don't make a fuss about it!

　Just then, Rosalia-san revealed a palm-sized blue magic circle in her right hand--

Blanche Wall!

　-- entering into a palm-bottom stance, he put his back to the ground and slammed into the fallen Bishas.
　But then Ignotus slipped in and received Rosalia-san's technique as if to protect Bishas.

''........Ignotus.

"Do you sense what we're up to?　You tried to kill me, didn't you?

Why are you doing this?

　The two men glare at each other, not moving slightly in their receiving state.
　Bishas turns away with a startled expression on his face, closing his eyes underneath it.

'Cassandra asked for you,'

　At that moment, Rosalia's pupils opened and Ignotus's body was pushed a little further towards the ground.
　Viscious' scream underneath is delightful.

　Immediately after that, of course, there was a huge explosion, causing the water in the trees and lake around them to dance.

　Then, by the time all the water and trees in the air had fallen to the ground, there were four people, soaking wet. They were separated and facing each other.
　Apparently Bishas was safe.
　He looks like he's in pain while holding his stomach, but like Felsen, he still looks like he has some room left in him.

　Leaving the two of them behind, Rosalia-san's sharp gaze caught Ignotus'.

''A request?　It's not a very funny joke, is it?　Cassandra wouldn't do that, would she?

Read it with your famous emotion-sensing skills.　So how do you know it's not a lie?　Cassandra is in trouble, too, you know?　The future of Chastain's future has been hanging in the balance for a long time now if we don't find a replacement. But you wouldn't have listened. Well, here's your answer. What do you think?　Are you finished with your senses?

I don't believe in ...

　I don't know how it works.
　But what Ignotus is saying is a lie.
　And yet, Rosalia-san made a perturbed expression, as if she didn't see through it.

''It seems that you know that what I'm saying isn't a lie, right?　Yes, we were given a mandate. I just have to carry it out. Rosalia? -- you're going to die.

　At that moment, a huge purple magic circle appeared at Ignotus' feet.
　That too huge magic circle engulfed Bishas and Felsen next to it, illuminating the surrounding forest and the sky above.

''I will finish this before Cassandra arrives. With this light, Lucius should be aware of it. But all he'll see is your corpse. As much as I'd like to see it, we won't be here when he does. Kukkuk...

　I'm not sure how powerful the magic is, but Rosalia-san's expression is cloudy.
　The two people standing by Ignotus' side are showing a grin to Rosalia-san as they shake their shoulders up and down, as if to say that they are watching from on high.

''My brother's seriousness, Poron!　You can't run or hide anymore, Pollon!　It's over Polon!

Emotional Sensing is not to be feared!　Brother, please!

　At that moment, a purple light illuminated Rosalia's figure.
　Then a pillar of purple light rising into the sky.
　The lake also glowed purple, and the area around it became one color.

　Gradually, my vision changed from purple to white, and I lost sight of Rosalia-san.
