After running for a while, he noticed something unusual. Though he’d made his way through the labyrinth according to Mora’s instructions, he couldn’t hear the slave-fiends fighting with Rolonia and Nashetania. “Hey, Mora. Which way should I go now?” he asked uneasily.

“Continue from there to take the long way around the outer circumference of the labyrinth and you’ll reach Rolonia. Turn right at the next junction.”

Checking to make sure that Hans and Goldof weren’t following, Adlet ran on. Turning one more corner, he found a dead end. “…Mora, what’s going on here? Answer me.”

He couldn’t hear her mountain echo.

“Mora, answer me! Which way is it?! You made a mistake!” he yelled.

The answer came to him immediately—not as a mountain echo, but as a voice from behind him. “’Tis no mistake.” Mora appeared, slowly rounding the corner. She stopped, blocking his way and preventing him from going anywhere. “I meant to lead you into a dead end all along. I can’t let you go to Rolonia and the others.”

Adlet’s legs suddenly felt weak beneath him. Fremy’s paralysis would wear off soon. Once that happened, Rolonia wouldn’t be able to protect her alone, and there was no way he could rely on Nashetania. And in this labyrinth, without Mora’s guidance, he wouldn’t even be able to catch up to them.

“Fremy will die now,” said Mora.

But even so, he couldn’t give up.

He used a smoke screen to cloud Mora’s vision and tried to run past her, but thanks to her abilities, it had no effect. She swept his legs out from under him and grabbed him, slamming him into the wall of the dead end.

“Ngh!”

The smoke cleared. Adlet was leaning against the wall as Mora watched him sadly. “I don’t believe you’re the seventh, as Hans does, and I don’t say this with intent to deceive you. I do feel this sincerely.”

“…Move, Mora.”

“…Let me tell you what I think.” Quietly, Mora began to speak. “Dozzu spoke before of Tgurneu’s ability to control humans. I don’t know if it truly possesses such an ability. This may just be a misunderstanding on Dozzu’s part, or it could be lying to us.”

As Adlet listened to her, he was looking for his chance to dash past her.

“But I simply can’t believe that any one of us is acting on Tgurneu’s orders. It seems clear to me we are all fighting in earnest. We may have different ideas and motives, but I believe everyone is putting in our full effort to save the world.”

“…?”

“You’re all good youngsters. You, Hans, Fremy—all of you.”

Adlet slowly stood up.

“Let me tell you what I believe,” Mora went on. “Fremy is the seventh, and she came here without being aware that she is the seventh, and also without being aware of her identity as the Black Barrenbloom. Tgurneu deceived her, and manipulated her into attempting revenge.”

“What for?”

“Tgurneu must have surmised Fremy stood little chance of being chosen as a Brave of the Six Flowers. Six other more qualified people could appear. A fiend may not even be bestowed with the crest in the first place.
