1172 City of Pleasure, Part 7 - Dark dwarf ③ -

"Time stagnant magic."

"It's not a pause, but it would be dozens of times as much time outside in physical sensory time. I can talk here without worrying about people. Well, let's have a little talk."

Yugdrasil said calmly, lowering his hips on the rock to show no hostility. Polskaya stood on guard unchanged, but I had a feeling it would not be a fight.

"What are you doing here?"

"Like I said, I came to talk to you. Your presence is very important."

"Is that because it involves Alphilis?

"Yes."

Polskaya snorted.

"Doesn't it matter what I am?

"I haven't said that much, I'm just saying that Alphilis is special"

"It's similar. Is that how important it is to be a witch?

"You don't know?

Instead, Yugdrasil was making a sound like he was frightened. But Polskaya countered with a rough nose.

"Oh, my role is to monitor the Alphilis. It was only in the beginning that we merged successfully, the runoff was repeated because we were unable to operate, but to some extent we began to live together and the boundaries of the spirit are stable. But I'm stronger at the initiative of the spirit, and I know she's grown before she's willing, but I don't think she's the kind of person Orangeable wants, though I think she's grown funny. I know you're a good person, but it's just a story within human boundaries. I don't know why Oranzebul ordered me to take the lead and defend it in the event of a crisis."

"But now you don't hate me, either. I think about Alphilis. Didn't I?"

"It's..."

Polskaya got stuck in words, getting poked at being gradually aware of himself. It was certainly an Orangeable order at first, but it hasn't even been ordered to do an archery on Alphilis. If you think only of protecting Alphilis, you don't have to train him to do anything. Not least he had been ordered to shake the spirit of Alphilis, but he hasn't carried it out in any way these days, even though there has been an obstruction of Larna. If you ask me why, all I can say is that I like Alphilis.

Yugdrasil continued.

"You've become too clear about yourself. When you first occurred on the battlefield, you were a lump of unwilled malice and hatred. Your instincts were only right for battle, even when you became self-possessed and possessed by others. Has the wind changed direction since you started having companions such as Tetrapolishka? Still, the underlying hatred didn't seem to have disappeared, but you've completely changed your raison d 'être since you started living with Alphilis.

Do you know why?

"That's a lot of talk from up there. Do you understand?"

"Imagine that."

Polskaya conceived. I certainly don't know why. I know that while living with Alphilis, there is definitely a change in my unconsciousness. But I didn't know why. Instead of saying, should I say that I was first aware of it after being pointed out?

Polskaya was listening back almost unconsciously.

"Why? What was the impact of being with Alpha Reese?

"Essential degeneration... maybe that's the real power of Alphilis"

"You think it's a degeneration of nature? What the hell..."

"We're talking about possibilities. than that."

Yugdrasil clutched his hand toward Polskaya all the time. Polskaya gets annoyed when she feels the intention. I just realized, how did Yugdrasil show up on this scene?

"You, you're here to get me."

"That's hard to say in a bite. First came an individual named you to determine what it was like. As a result, I thought it would be fine if it wasn't dangerous. And I want to make it easier if I can."

"He says that's the sight from the top!

"Exactly. So I'm going to ask you to take it easy."

Yugdrasil, who left his voice at peace, in a rough polskaya. Between a few moments, Polskaya also exhaled heavily.

"... just tell me one thing. Are you an Alphilis enemy or an ally?"

"On your side."

"Is that even in the future?"

"I don't know that. But Oranzebul and I are in a cooperative relationship, but we're basically not where we want to be. Oranzeble considers the matter of Alphilis to be one of the means for his own ends. But in my case, Alphilis will probably be the only one. With how she grows, perhaps my imaginary future will completely change its appearance"

"So you will continue to interfere with Alphilis?

"Not to the point of not dying. If my interference passes, that could end unfavorably. It's hard to add or subtract. That's why I have your powers. I want you to continue to protect Alphilis."

Polskaya thought again. And he snorted hesitantly.

"Fine. I still don't feel bad about being with Alphilis either. Plus, I'm on my way to training. I don't like half of it."

"You don't ask me if I'm safe? We must have just broken up in North Seal."

"Hmm, an easy dying woman, or that one. Anyway, it's decided to be safe. But I want you to listen to me. Listen to your wish."

"Exchange terms, I mean, okay."

Yugdrasil looked interesting. Because it's rare to have someone to negotiate with you. And Polskaya said:
