When Luna told me about Myne’s past, she also promised me that she’d lend me her power.
(Actually paying attention to the person whose soul you’ve consumed, I guess that’s so much like you…you crafty guy. Anyways, Haniel’s power can be very reliable here. Let’s go, Fate!)
(Fate, we can’t waste time. Luna’s soul won’t hold if you strain her for too long)
[Luna! Now!]
[We somehow made it. That’s the result of using Crossing with this Me.]
When I turned around, I found Greed in his human form. Combing his red hair with his fingers as he looked smugly at me.
[Hey you…can you really afford to act so relaxed right now! In the real world, Shinn is about to sacrifice the entire Hauzen still!]
[Haven’t you realized yet?]
Greed snapped back at me.
[How many times have you visited this place already? The time passage in this place is different than the real world.]
[Is that so?]
[Really now… you’re truly hopeless. This spiritual world was originally created by Luna to keep the Gluttony skill at bay. Of course, the rules of this world are exactly as Luna wants it to be.]
[Including the flow of time?]
[That’s just how it is. The flow of time for the soul and body is already different to begin with.]
Greed mentioned how [The flow of time between the soul and body were different]. My mind was already full with Myne and Hauzen, so I wasn’t able to process that information properly. But it slowly sunk in.
When I turned to the still unconscious Myne, Luna was already there kneeling beside her.
[We finally meet again, big sis.]
She gently stroked Myne’s cheek with her hand.
[It’s always like this. You shouldn’t push yourself too hard.]
[We have pushed you to do something unreasonable.]
[It’s fine. It was my own decision, and I asked Fate to do it.]
[Luna… you…]
[What happens to me doesn’t matter. I’m already but a fragment of the past. To me, what’s most important is big sis, who is still living in the present. So, Fate, thank you.]
She stood up and held my hand. I felt warm despite the fact that it’s our spiritual body.
[I…what I did was just suppressing Myne. You are the one who brought us here.]
[No, that isn’t necessarily true. You did enough. It’s thanks to Fate that I was able to bring big sis here without hurting her. Take pride in that. Don’t you think so too, Greed?]
[Yeah, you did really well. More than my expectation. You didn’t even step back when facing the Wrath immersed Myne. Not a shred of fear at all. I can tell for sure, because we were in the state of Crossing.]
It’s a bit annoying. That Greed who rarely speaks highly of me suddenly praised me like that, making me feel embarrassed.
[However, the hard part starts now. Luna… are you really sure?]
[How come you still ask when we are already in this stage? Of course I’m sure. After all I’m the only one here who can reach into big sis’ long closed off heart.]
[You… you do know what that means, right?]
[I do, and I always do. That aside, why is Greed bothered by that? You should make up your mind. Despite all the big talk, you still haven’t really changed from how you were in the past, have you?]
[That is…]
[Still a fainthearted when it really matters.]
Greed scoffed at Luna who laughed after openly making fun of him.
[I was a crybaby and indecisive in the past… But I have resolved myself now. I wish to do everything I can for big sis]
[Just… do as you like.]
[And I will do just that. Let’s get started then. Fate, would you please?]
[Now, we’ll dive. Straight into my sister’s heart. I’ll guide you, so don’t let go of my hand. Human’s hearts are like a labyrinth. If you get lost, you may never be able to return.
[Are you guys ready?]
[ [ Yes. ] ]
