Past Arc ㉔

「How do you do」

The moment that Sariel stepped into the equipment, she realised that she had been isolated in another dimension due to someone’s interference She also realised that the saht in front of her While Gyurie hadn’t been able to see through this darkness, Sariel was capable of piercing through it to the hidden truth The one who had greeted her, was a girl She appeared to be just one step short of being an adult, young enough that she could still properly be called a girl However, that expressionless face did not fit her young appearance in the least An expressionless face that makes one think of botto her

「Please call me D if you wish Now then, with otiation Dispensing with the small-talk, I shall plainly state my business Please come play with me」

While it was an invitation to come play, it also sounded like a devil’s invitation In fact, that i and spoke of having fun, as if Sariel wasn’t involved at all, that expression showed absolutely no hint of joy or pleasure If it had been someone other than Sariel in this place, that person would surely have felt terror at the so that had taken on the shape of a person and the eerie sense of it trying to i was not terror, but a pure desire to fight This thing that was in front of her, should not exist Its very existence was a sin While she el, and she instinctively felt that the existence in front of her would be harmful to the world She felt that whatever the difference in cootten themust be defeated at all costs even if they both die

「Oh, I would rather that you do not consider trying to fight or refuse this Otherwise, I will not be responsible for what happens to your precious children, okay?」

However, Sariel could not unleash her power With those words that had no power by themselves, Sariel was constrained Those words prevented Sariel froecraft could have With just those words, Sariel was cootiation, but it was in fact a threat

「What do you desire?」

「Splendid I shall have you becoecraft that I will then activate」

Taking Sariel’s words as an acknowledgeecraft It was soecraft, such that a viewer looking over it would be able to understand what sort of ecraft it was Unfortunately however, Sariel wasn’t able to understand the nature of the el optimised for battle While she was specialised in destruction, she was poor at perforecraft

「This is a technique in order to replenish the energy of this planet」

Whether or not D knew that Sariel couldn’t understand the contents of the an to explain Just from that first line, Sariel lost the means to respond She couldn’t understand D’s objective Considering the ti this planet, yet her presentation suggested the opposite Like her very existence, D’s words and deeds couldn’t be understood either
