Chapter 23-Girl and Warning

 

(TL:By Rafael)

 

 

The girl is the girl that we protected in Glad Sheehyim during the first attack.

 

 

 

 Even now, we still don't know who she is, and we've been keeping her again at our cottage. ...... What the hell happened?

 

 

 

"What's weird?"(Yuki)

 

"It was glowing. ......"(Nene)

 

"Glowing?"(Yuki)

 

 

 

 It's hard to get a handle on the situation when she's panicked.

 

 

 

 Seeing is believing. Anyway, I had to check the scene.

 

 

 

 When I ran into the cottage, I found that there was indeed a situation there that was hard to describe.

 

 

 

"What's going on ......?"(Yuki)

 

 

 A girl was floating in the air with her eyes closed, her outline glowing vaguely.

 

 

 

 It looks like the descent of an angel in a religious painting, but the light that leaks out is the same color as the twilight that illuminates the Glad Shii-im. And then there are the signs.

 

 

"Yuki!"(Rain)

 

 

 

 Rain and Silk come running up to me.

 

 

 

"What's the situation?"(Yuki)

 

"I don't know, It just happened."(Rain)

 

"Yes. I don't think there was any trigger, either."(Silk)

 

 

 

 

 The girl's eyelids, which had been closed, slowly opened.

 

 

 

"I've been waiting for ....... Yuki Ferdio."(Girl)

 

"......!"(Yuki)

 

 

 

 

 A quiet voice came out of the mouth of the girl who had not spoken a word until now.

 

 

 

"I am Hilde, one of the Golden Maidens. I will say as many words as you need in as little time as possible."(Hilde)

 

"......!"(Yuki)

 

"There is not much time left. Your world is now in danger of a 'cull'.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 "Culling"?

 

 

 

 

 The word "culling" is synonymous with the word "choice," although it does not give the right to choose.

 

 

 

 The one who can adapt will survive and the one who can't will perish. ...... Such is the choice of the gods, which is beyond human understanding.

 

 

 

"Our world will destroy you. But this is unnatural. It was caused. It is an abomination. Therefore, I am here to present you with a choice."(Hilde)

 

"What the hell are you talking about?"(Yuki)

 

"You have seen the Glad Shii-Im, haven't you?  It covers this world. Only twilight and a distorted and bloated 'will' will soon cover the world."(Hilde)

 

 

 

 The story was too far-fetched for me to follow.

 

 

 

 But my gut is telling me that this is important and critical.

 

 

 

"Find Loge. He knows everything."(Hilde)

 

"I've met him a few times, but he won't tell me anything."(Yuki)

 

"Let him speak. He's crazy. It's because he's crazy that he keeps his will."(Hilde)

 

 

 He said that he was crazy from the beginning.

 

 

 

 What does that have to do with the world?

 

 

 

"Why are you telling us all this?"(Yuki)

 

"So that we don't make the same mistakes again."(Hilde)

 

 

 

 Hilde tells me with a blank look on her face.

 

 

 

"Mistakes?"(Yuki)

 

"We should have been destroyed, but the foolish king, the ignorant people, could not accept it. They tried to control what should not be controlled."(Hilde)

 

 

 

 

 After a beat, she continued.

 

 

 

"And they wished for 'gold' for eternity."

 

"'Gold'?"(Yuki))

 

"Yes. A thing that no man should touch. A cursed panacea. A fruit of the world tree that can grant all wishes."(Hilde)

 

"Such a thing  ......."(Yuki)

 

 

 

 But then again, what are the wishes that make up that creepy ...... city?

 

 

 

 It's not a world that people want.

 

 

 

"...... It's about time, isn't it?"(Hilde)

 

"About time?"(Yuki)

 

"Yuki Ferdio. Stop the Twilight King and destroy the gold. If you do not, this world will also be consumed by the twilight."(Hilde)

 

 

 The light of the outline gradually faded.

 

 

 

"For our sins, please... ......"(Hilde)

 

 

 

 The voice fades with the light.

 

At the same time, the girl's body, which had been floating in the sky, slowly descended and collapsed as soon as her toes touched the floor.

 

 

 

"Whoa."(Yuki)

 

 

 

 I catch it and let out a small breath.

 

 

 

 If what she just said is true, it's going to be very serious.

 

 

 It's not something that a single adventurer party like us can handle.

 

 

 

"......"(Girl)

 

 

 

 

 

 The girl, who was limping, snapped her eyes open.

 

 

 

"Are you okay?"(Yuki)

 

"...... Yes."(Girl)

 

 

 I froze at the reply.

The young girl's voice was different from the previous one.

She had never said a word before.

 

 

 The girl stood up and bowed her head.

 

 

 

"Well, it's nice to meet you again ......."(Girl)

 

"Oh, yeah."(Yuki)

 

 

 I continued to observe her, puzzled by the difference in her appearance from before and now.

 

 

 

Perhaps Rain and Silk are both keeping their senses sharp to find out what she is.

 

Even after Hilde's presence has left, that hint of dusk has not disappeared from this girl.

 

 

 

 I don't know who she is, but I'd say she's related to the Glad Shii-im, just like Loge.

 

 

 

"It's great that you can talk now! Let's see, ......."(Marina)

 

"Nibelung."(Nibelung)

 

"Hi, Lunn-chan! Are you all right?"(Marina)

 

"Yes, I'm fine."(Nibelung)

 

 

 Thanks to Marina, who was the only one who spoke to her in an easy-going manner, we got some important information.

 

 

 

 The girl's name was Nibelung.

 

 

 

"Do you remember what happened just now?  does Hilde's name sounds familiar."(Yuki)

 

"Well, I'm sorry. Nothing. ...comes to mind..."(Nibelung)

 

 

 

 

 The girl shook her head in annoyance at my question. Did she remember anything about Hilde?

 

 

 

"You four, take care of this. I'll go back to the command center."(Yuki)

 

 

 

 With that, I headed to the command center cottage where Manuela and Viscount Boardman were staying.
