After watching Valeria die, I turned and addressed the presence that had been watching us for some time now.

“Now that’s dealt with,” I said, “it’s time to exterminate some pests.”

“…Foolish mortal.”

A fairy materialized in front of us. But it was by far the largest of its kind I’d ever seen. Were it not for her long white hair, sparkling in the moonlight, and the pair of long wings extending from her back, she would have appeared to anyone like a young girl of five or so. Beneath each of her eyes was a dark mole, and in her hands she held a crystal ball of swirling black and white.

“Hey there, Berrybell. Long time no see,” I said.

“That’s…” “…the Fey Queen?”

It was obvious, even to the untrained eye, that she was not human. She was from a different world—a cruel and barbaric one with different laws and morals.

When I’d fought her in my first life, I managed to tear off one of her wings, but she’d escaped in the confusion.

“I guess you don’t remember me, though.”

“No. I remember you, turncoat.”

“Huh?” I said, frowning. “What do you mean?”

“There is no meaning,” the Fey Queen replied. “Because you cannot stop it now. The time has come at last. At last, at last, at last, at last, at last…”

Berrybell spoke as if entranced, stroking the crystal ball in her hands.

“…What’s up with you?” I asked.

“Hee-hee-hee. My task is finally coming to an end. That is a wonderful, wonderful thing.”

“…Whatever. It doesn’t change what I’m going to do to you. I guess I’ll hear whatever it is you’ve got to say.”

“I am no longer required,” said Berrybell. “I can finally disappear from this world.”

She raised the crystal, a royal treasure of some kind, as if offering it to the heavens above.

“Hey, wait, what are you—?”

But before I could react, the crystal shattered. Berrybell began disintegrating into motes of light that vanished on the air.

“What the…? What are you doing?!”

“Oh, poor, foolish Hero. You know nothing. Fare thee well. Give my regards to the Lion Prince and the Handmaiden of Darkness.”

A pure, genuine smile crossed Berrybell’s lips. It was the very last part of her to disappear.

“D-dear brother? What on earth was that?”

I just stared at the spot where the fairy had been.

“…Tch. Whatever. First things first, we have to focus on Leon.”

There was much I didn’t know about the Fey Queen. Like the reason Leon had saved her.

But that doesn’t matter. It doesn’t change what I have to do.

“You’re next, Leon. Don’t think you can wriggle your way out of this one.”

The time had come at last.
