ochita kuroi vol. 4 pg. 103-112

Lucile: Behind us, a different enemy is approaching.

Sion: Haaaaaa? A different enemy?

Lucile: Yes.

Sion: Who?

Lucile: I don’t know. But be warned—it’s not human.

Sion: Haaaaaaaaaaaaaa? Then, what do we do?

(From behind him, a voice rings out.)

Voice: These fools.

(It’s a genderless voice. However, Sion’s heard it before, from during his academy days. It’s a magic to change one’s voice.)

Sion: Hey, Lucile.

Lucile: Yes?

Sion: So the one coming from behind us isn’t a person?

Lucile: Perhaps.

Sion: Is it hiding its identity?

Lucile: I suppose there are many reasons for a monster to do so.

Sion: Haha, would you know?

Lucile: I would.

Sion: For example?

Lucile: That’s a secret.

Sion: Is that so?

(Sion smiles.)

Sion: Then, what about our companions? What’s going on with them?

(From behind Sion, a hand stretches out. Sion’s eyes widen. However, Lucile stops the arm.)

Lucile: … You will not touch my king.

(He appears. Blond hair, an inhuman feeling, and a beautiful appearance—he attacks the arm.

Sion takes a step back and looks over at the assailant.

In the darkness, he can see a person.

Tall, in a black suit. A frightening man. He’s wearing a strange mask—Asruld's mask. The right half’s smiling and the left half’s crying.)


Lieral: Oh~. That was an unexpectedly good reaction, Lucile-kun.

Lucile: … Who are you?

Lieral: A saviour.

Sion: A saviour?

Lieral: That’s right.

Sion: That’s…

Lucile: (interrupting) This is a pointless conversation. There’s only one thing to do with this enemy, isn’t there? We have no time, so I’ll kill…

Lieral: For you, that’s impossible.

(He lifts his hand. From that hand, there’s a light. Lucile cuts that light with his hand.)

Lieral: You’ve been caught.

(In the instant Lucile cuts the light, there’s an explosion. It burns the upper half of Lucile’s body.)

Lucile: Damn it…

(He falls, but his body starts to repair itself.)

Sion: … Are you all right, Lucile?

(Lucile nods.)

Lucile: Yes, this isn’t a problem. I was… negligent. However, I won’t make the same mistake again.

Sion: … Then it’s fine. He seems to be strong?

Lieral: Very strong~

Lieral: So, right now, you aren’t at my level. You'll be easily killed by the Goddesses… Already, I know your limit. You still can’t handle this world… And so, let’s do this together…

(Then, suddenly—)

Lieral: (from Sion’s side) A thousand years early.

(Sion can still see the masked man standing before him, and yet the voice comes from his side. He looks over there, and he sees the masked man standing there.)

Sion: Wha—

(Lieral grabs Lucile’s neck. Of course, Lucile fights back, swinging his arm and cutting through Lieral’s body; however, smoke just comes out.

Lieral grabs Lucile’s face and pushes him onto the ground.

Sion balls his hand into a fist and attacks Lieral in an attempt to save Lucile. However, Lieral makes a sound with his tongue.

Sion can’t move his body.)


Sion:

(His voice won’t come out.

His body’s freedom has been taken.

Lieral looks down at Lucile.)


Lieral: … Now then, now then, you two still can’t do a thing against me…

Lucile: … I’ll kill you.
 

(He claps his hands together and chants a spell. Lieral smiles.)

Lieral: You’re a fool. Magic won’t work against me. I created that magic—I’m the one who taught you that magic.

(He murmurs something. The magic that Lucile was creating easily disappears.)

Lieral: Ah, it’s futile, Lucile-kun. Here, you’re still at a shallow level. Right now, in this situation, there’s nothing you can do to me… You can cry out more and more, but your voice won’t be heard. Not at the bottom of this deep darkness…

Lucile: … Who in the world are you?

Lieral: The fact that you don’t know is a sign of how weak you are right now.

Lucile:

Lieral: So I’ll help you out. You—You two might need my help.

Lucile:

Lieral: Now run. I'll coax the Goddess into calming down somehow. In that time, you should gain power. Enough power to bear this country's darkness. Before this country's king grows strong enough to devour your other half...before he's strong enough to devour Ryner...

(Lieral releases Lucile and stands up. Lucile also stands and again tries to cut him. No effect.

Suddenly, Lieral’s body turns into hundreds of papers. They fly around and then go into a briefcase. The briefcase moves around before disappearing.)


Sion: … Ua—

(The spell over Sion is undone at the same time.)
