"Taura."

I call out, knocking in front of the room where Taura is staying.

"Ah, Rust. You've returned from Harbor Fulton. Welcome back."

You don't look so good.

Why don't you step outside for a minute?

I don't mind.

Taura follows me as I start to walk away. She usually walks next to me with her back straight and straight, but at times like this, she walks half a step behind me with a slightly hunched posture.

I watch Taura out of the corner of my eye and wonder what I should say to her.

We continue walking together in silence for a while.

Perhaps sensing my hesitation, Taura begins to speak.

Rust, are you sure? Tomorrow you will go to the neighboring country of Sototo, right?"

Knowingly or unknowingly, it was the right time. We were surrounded by bamboo groves - one of Eve's special ones that dot the city.

Hardly anyone passes through. And above all, it is a place where Eve's power is strong.

"Yes, it is. I'm going to take the Sailor Lake to Sototho. It's hard to relax with so much shaking under our feet. We need to do something about this ground shaking as soon as possible. So, I need you to do something for me.

If there's anything I can do...

"I want you to go with me to Sototo. I need Taura's help."

I stop, turn around and tell him.

Taura's expression is distorted. The power to grasp negative emotions, which is the price to pay for the magic, reacts unintentionally.

I can feel them, as if I could see them in my hand. Taura's feelings of remorse and repentance.

I understand Taura's wish to finish her revenge against the sorceress with her own hands, and after my awakening she had already formally apologized to me and I had told her that I accepted her apology and that I did not mind.

But I guess Taura is still not over it. The man to whom I had vowed to devote my sword has now put his own sword in me.

The oath of the sword he swore when he first met Taura must have been very sacred to him.

For a moment, he was afraid that he would be rejected, but Taura's expression disappeared and he answered.

Of course. Of course I will accompany you."

I could feel the density of the negative emotions that had disappeared from Taura's face increase as they were pushed in.

I am going to have to do something terrible to Taura.

I will have to do terrible things to Taura. And of Taura's sword.

Taura will suffer even more.

And yet it is necessary.

The Oracle, the power that connects Taura to the gods.

Her sword, which broke the life of the world's oldest sorceress, transformed by my flesh and blood, and reborn by my two powers of alchemy and sorcery, the inheritance of the sorceress' power...

To save this world. I must.

If Roa and Kalin knew what I had done to Taura, they would call me a simpleton and a bastard.

"Thank you. I'm counting on you, Taura."

I don't need you...

That's when I lost my words.

I take Taura's sword from my backpack. The scroll of the Seal has already been removed and the sheath is covered with the magic circuit of the Seal.

"Taura, I have something for you..."

Taura sees my expression, sees the sword offered to her, and slowly accepts it. She holds the sword tightly in her arms and touches the magic circuits of the scabbard with her fingers.

"Is it still impossible to exorcise the curse?"

"The curse could not be exorcised. The sword had to be reborn. I'm sorry I took the liberty.

"What have I to apologize for? I know Rust always does his best. I trust him, too. Well, if that's what Rust says, then I guess he didn't have a choice. So what exactly do you mean by rebirth?"

I raised my right hand to explain everything and took off my glove.
