I didn't expect her to show up. Of all the "king's" entourage, it's not at all fortunate that she, who hates me the most, would appear in front of me.
　I've managed to get her out of the dimension transition to the outside of the ward...the inter-dimensional space, but I don't really want to use this one. It's going to take me some time to regain my powers to return to the other world.
　She and I face each other in the empty, dimly lit space between us. Her eyes are still sharp as ever as she stares at me. As if to show the separation between us, a ward like a grid is stretched between us.

"If you think there are more living humans than the number of prior troops that have escaped the ward, it's you, Endemuon!
Well, don't get me wrong. It's just that it's so tricky for you guys to come out, so I've been crushing every single one of them. If you're the dominant species, and you're able to get out, it's probably only a matter of time before the wards collapse.

　But I don't think it's that easy to get out of it. It's not easy to find the break that leads to the world.

Well, I'll tell you what. I've got a lot of questions for you. Where is the King? You know where the King is!
I don't know. I'm sure he's out there somewhere. I don't think they'd want to see you guys, though, would they?
Shut up! The King wouldn't have gone mad if you hadn't suggested it! Don't let the source of all of this pull out of your head!

　Seduction and the like I'm not a good listener. This was his decision. I'm merely a spectator. Well, I'm quite aware that I'm helping him.

"So, the question is do you ever feel the need to leave this world?
You're kidding me! Our goal is to get the King back. We will not back down!
I'll take it back, hey. Don't you mean "take in"?

　

''Don't be with those guys........! We don't want the power of "The King". We need The King!

　Everyone is looking for a "king". I know that some of them have ambitions to become King themselves. I've heard she's not, but as long as I'm trying to pull her back as 'king' of the Frayes, she's not compatible with me.

At any rate, I wish they'd leave me alone. I'd like to be left alone, at any rate. I've made some unusual friends.

　Fuyao Mochizuki. He's an odd one. Everything is substandard and indecipherable. He is like a human being, but I also have the feeling that he's not. He's like a human being in this world, but he's also like a person from another world. It's something I've never encountered before. I wonder if he is a mutant race.
　Come to think of it, that woman he called "sister" or something like that was also abnormal. Maybe they are a rare race after all.
　It's not a bad guy, that's for sure. He's even been kind to me when I first met him, and he's even drawn the poorest of the poor by getting into battles that have nothing to do with him.
　If I could, I would let him meet the King.

I would bring back the King, even if it meant eradicating all the humans on that world. No matter what you do.
I don't know. What if someone else is stronger than me?

　She glares at me with hateful eyes again. Well, it's as if I'm the one who took away the "king" from them, so I can't blame her.
　But I didn't expect this to happen. We thought that even after losing their King, Fraise and her friends would choose a new King and take a new path.
　But they wanted power. Rather than a new path, they hung on to the power of the past. They wanted to get that power. To cross the world and destroy those who lived in it.
　I've faced them on more than one world, and I've gotten a lot of people involved as a result. But I don't want to stop. This is my hope. I know it's just my own selfish hypocrisy to try to minimize the damage.
　The King's core absorbs a little bit of the host's bio-energy, and when that host reaches the end of its life, it is randomly transferred back to another human body. Most hosts end their lives without noticing anything.
　After a few repetitions of this process, when it is possible to transition to the next world, the "King" departs from that world using the power he has accumulated so far. To a higher world.
　When the host dies, the sound of the King can be heard for a short time before moving on to the next host.
　Every time you hear that sound, you can feel that "she" is climbing the stairs, little by little. I can believe that she is alive somewhere in the world, even though she has changed her appearance.

"Do the people of that world have the power to stop us?
In fact, the senior species has been defeated, hasn't it?
Hmph, you're the one who suggested otherwise. If it weren't for these obstructive wards, I would have annihilated them all at once!

　Gasp, in the darkness, Nei hits the ward.
　Right now, I'm inside the ward, even if it's in the same dimensional space. She is on the outside. They are unable to transfer to another dimension like I am, so they cannot slip through the gap in the ward to that world. All they can do is find the crack that appears by chance and jump in.
　This will buy them some time. While we're doing this, though, other dominant species may be trying to get through the wards.

'As I've heard before, you're not going to cooperate with me...'
No! Don't think you can round it up like Lise!
That's a shame. I'm sure she would have liked to see you.
"........how is Lise?
Yeah.

　She'll be waiting for me to come back while I'm doing this. I'm afraid I'll be a little late coming home this time. Oh well, I'm sure she'll be fine.

Next time I see you, I'll be merciless. You'll be scrubbed clean.

　There's nothing more to say, and with that, Nay disappears into the darkness. Good grief. Really tricky.
　Now, it's going to take me some more time to cross over to the other side. That's why I didn't want to go through the dimensional transition. If I hadn't done it, the whole area would have been scorched, so I didn't have a choice.
　Or did Fuyuuya manage to do something about it? That's something I would have liked to see, though. It's been a long time since I've seen someone that strange.
　I think we've seen her before ... maybe 5,000 years ago. She was an interesting person, too.
　That Regina Babylon, she was a very interesting person.
