Volume 4 Chapter 40: The Spirit's Heart Is Confused

The spirit called Belga watched in silence through theas thedrifts from outside of the forest

This space here is a special space that her friend Palette created using her ical paintbrush

Pallet made sure that one of the doors in this place were connected to the land of Towa, and through the different s you could easily gaze into other dia didn't knohy she was here

Lute once told her that even though her body may be no a that was e to be able to function even though her life already ended She would walk around the s Palette has made and on rare occasions she would even talk with Lute

Her days were filled with calmness and happiness

However, there was this one tia asked Lute what her exact purpose was

Belga was a spirit using a un, and apparently her sole purpose was to defeat a certain soether with bastard and Palette, they were destroying lots of ood job Lute would pat her head and praise her, which made her feel extremely happy

She realized that it was precisely because it was Lute who praised her that she was this happy

But still

”What are you thinking about?”

Hearing a deep and noble voice speaking to her, Belga rose her face only to see bastard approaching her He looked like a true noble, a physique truly suited for his voice

Palette was busy with painting her paintings as always, and Lute was currently up to his own devices

Because other tere often busy, it was bastard ho Belga talked theher feel kind of relived to do so

As always, he had that huge sword of his hanging froence when he looked at her

Feeling the pressure of those eyes of his, Belga looks down and fails to answer

Even so, bastard looked out the , gazing on the sa

「Do you want to help the people out there?」

As bastard saw right through her intentions, Belga's shoulders shuddered, but she still shook her head

「Lute decided to not intervene outside, because outside is filled with our enemies There's no way to help them now」

「Eneeon?」

Even though bastard did not answer her, Belga realized that she said toothe hordes ofrestless and uneasy for some reason

It was only natural to feel that way Because thanks to Lute, Belga knew exactly as going on

However, once she saw the eon that one tihts

She didn't know this feeling She shouldn't know this feeling

And yet, she was somehow filled with anticipation

It was i back

Because these monsters were the enemies, and they enemy must be destroyed

Lute hiun was for This is the way it should be

But since she was unable to go outside and fulfill her purpose, Belga could only sit around and try to endure this feeling that was squeezing her chest so a」

As she heard the faon his back

「Lute! Welcoht now, her htness in her heart subsided a little bit

Belga went to greet Lute, but came to a halt once she realized that the expression on his face was rather co you?」

Lute gazed at Belga, and even though he didn't seea's shoulders shuddered uncontrollably

Lute then gazed through the sameas them, and for a moment out there, a pained expression danced on his face

「I told you that you were awakened as a spirit in order to help a nods her head, as it was exactly the reason why she was here in the first place

She nodded again, as if to confirm that fact to herself

「But other than that, you are basically free to do as you see fit……」

As he raised his face and looked at her, Belga felt confused Lute was neither laughing nor was he angry

「B, but……」

「Would you like Palette to draw soet your key Without it you won't be able to go back, and that could be a problem」

After he said that, Lute turned away and was already leaving the roo out there

She didn't know anyone else Lute was the only one to who she sworn her gun to

She didn't know She just didn't know anyet that voice out of her head

Before she even noticed, she was already opening thethat was in front of her

After confirer here, Lute mumbled to himself

「Because I only erased your ht to stop her It was the only thing he could to silence that burning sense of regret inside of his conscience

「You are surprisingly sentimental」

Lute raised his head and saw bastard, a huge spirit with an even larger sword hanging from his back

「Does that h thereed to forget theh I finally found my inner peace」

「…… I see」

「My sword is yours to command So use me however you see fit」

For some reason Lute felt irritated by that state himself to look at bastard

「As soon as this affair is over, I'll be ready to irl It seems that she still retains soht It needed to be stopped

After all, attachawakened by Lute as a spirit, Belga wasthe 'Eclipse'

Being able to attack theainst theet up close and personal with thea jumped was Taisha's branch office, one that was situated near the capital city of Towa

It would be good if she didn't wondered into one o that dragon's companions

At that moment, it wasn't the face of that black-haired wo dragon child

He ht turn out to be useful to hio」

「Understood」

Lute quickly coether with bastard they went ot the room where Palette should be

Kyle went to one of the prohibited zones together with Mikoto

It see called 'shi+ntai', or a God's relic, in it, an object that served as one of the cornerstones of the entire barrier

As long as that relic stays intact, the barrier shall not be broken and 'Eclipse's' destructive influence won't spill out outside of the prohibited zone
