Volume 9 Chapter 28 The Promise Hill
I felt like I was being pulled by something.
In a space where there was no sense of direction, no light, and no gravity, I was being continuously pulled by something.
I couldn't even move my body, let alone feel the presence of magic power or know if I was breathing.
It was a sensation I had just recently experienced.
It was similar to when I infiltrated Bertina-san's soul with Yunea's magic.
My consciousness itself was like a fleeting bubble, and my thoughts couldn't come together properly.
What on earth am I doing...
"Iris, are you really not coming?"
In an instant, my consciousness became clear as I heard a voice from somewhere.
Yes, that's right. All my magic was erased, and I was swallowed by 'Kakehashi (Bridge to the Universe).'
Where am I? What happened to everyone?
The answer to that question was right in front of me.
This place seems to be a hill, and the sunset is dyeing the surroundings orange.
There were two people standing there.
A handsome man with iridescent hair. It's Glenn Roderest.
And standing opposite him was Iris, the girl with her black hair tied into one, who was attending to Lyla.
The fact that these two are here might mean that I'm in someone's memory. Maybe I came back here through their souls because the "key" members were nearby.
What happened to everyone? Why am I here?
I try to use my magic power to escape from this space, but just like in my mental realm, I couldn't even sense the presence of magic power.
The time I was looking at memories, reality hardly moved forward at all.
But there's no point in getting anxious right now.
The "key" probably won't be killed. Even if it's sent to a different dimension, as long as its role remains, it should still be alive. The other members aren't that easily defeated.
So, I should calm down.
Since we couldn't destroy the enemy's "Bridge to the Universe," our next move is to target their leader. We mustn't lose our composure.
While I took a deep breath to calm myself, Iris responded.
"Yes. This is my hometown."
"That's the same for all of us. If we can be here, we would have wanted the same."
Glenn said as he watched the sunset.
What does this mean?
If I remember correctly, they were talking about a utopia before. So, this scene must be after the one I saw before.
And Glenn and the others are probably trying to go to a new place from the city they saw before.
Iris saw the same sunset.
"I know. Because it's our hometown, someone has to wait here. When you want to come back someday, I'll be here."
"I see... Lyla must be lonely."
"Is that what you think? Without a chaperone, she might spread her wings."
Iris said with a smile.
Is she not going to the new world together?
I can tell by their expressions. They both understand that they won't come back again.
The words they are exchanging now are just wishful thinking.
"If only there was time to spread my wings."
"Please take care, Roderest-sama. You don't know what disaster awaits."
"Any place will do. At least, it's easier to live than in this world."
At that moment, a certain thought crossed my mind.
No way...
Finally, Iris looked at Glen with a serious expression.
"I entrust Lyla-sama to you."
"Leave it to me. As long as I'm alive, I'll protect her."
"...I'm glad to hear those words."
Iris nodded with a face that was a mix of tears and laughter.
In that moment, my body was sucked up into the sky, just like back then.
If this idea turned out to be correct, then we...
