Chapter 228

She hadn’t meant the Holy Lehysian Empire. She was talking about the other world’s Lehysia. I had wanted to take back Vill, but I hadn’t been able to get back on my feet until my friends helped me move forward. Naturia was Spica’s Vill. There was no replacement for Vill. There was no replacement for anyone. I couldn’t stop her. “Wait, hold on! But why do you gotta do it all alone?!” “I’m not alone. I’ll have you to help me.” “Then…” “I want you to support Clenny.” Spica smiled. A wicked grin. “The Holy Church should be leading the Netherworld now, with Clenent DIV as its head. But that kid’s still green. She needs support. It’s your and the Lunae’s job to give it to her.” “Wh-what, how?” “I’m asking you to bring peace to the Netherworld before Naturia and I return! You said you wanted to see the results of my dream—so make good on your word!” “Wha…” Why are you making me do all the hard work?! But I couldn’t say that now. I decided to help this vampire. A gust blew. Spica’s smile faded away. A mysterious mist covered the hole to hell. I was frozen in place while Vill hugged me. I remembered—Spica’s eyes shone bright like stars. She should be back with Naturia soon. I had nothing more to say. This was her choice. “See you, Terakomari!! We’ll meet again!!” Her stupidly loud voice echoed from beyond the mist. She really was so idiotically energetic. It was a waste of time worrying about her. “Haaah.” Vill sighed. “A noisy terrorist beyond repair. Even now she keeps making trouble for you, Lady Komari…” “Hey, I know how she feels.” “I see. So you’re saying you love me.” “I don’t think that really connects… Wawah!” I heard the whole world creak. The next thing I knew, we were out of the hole. The mist had covered the pit. I looked above and saw the Frezier hot springs in the sky. An upside-down town brightened by the radiant sun. It was beautiful… But I couldn’t take the sight in for long. Another powerful gust blew. The heavens sucked me and my friends back into our original world.
