Sing for the Night

A well-behaved child should always obey.

Look at you now, it's truly heartbreaking.

*Sniff...

Don't get excited, stay calm, and slowly understand the things in front of you.

Ha...

This is.....

It's Myselburg.

The real Myselburg.

Damonica!

*Cough...

Expecting a child to think rationally was my oversight.

Please stay still, Your Majesty, your body has not yet recovered.

I understand that some members of Rasparta have done unforgivable things to you, and I'm also aware that Rasparta's philosophy is not widely accepted by the public.

But those have nothing to do with me, right?

Just for today, just for this moment, let's forget all the unpleasantness and have a good conversation, shall we?

Rest... Think!

Indeed, a stubborn Majesty.

So, let's play a game.

If I win, you should set aside your prejudices and genuinely listen to my thoughts.

If you win, I will tie my own hands and become a prisoner at your place, ready to answer any questions you may have.

How?

... What... game?

Don't worry, it's a simple game.

Your assassin friend, Mochizuki Mitsuha, has told you that there is a monster in Myselburg that can transform into other people.

That's not a monster, it's a special host named the Mirror Phantom.

And the game we are going to play is...

Identify which one is the Mirror Phantom.

There are two... Damonicas?

Look, the game has already started.

Damonica is being taken care of right now

And there's this Damonica that just appeared.

Which one of us is disguised as the Mirror Phantom?

It's her.

Do you think I am disguised as a Mirror Phantom?

Congratulations, Your Majesty.

You answered incorrectly.

What?!

Do you know how to verify the identity of the Mirror Phantom?

As long as it fights, it can't maintain its disguise.

Now... shall we give it a try?

So, do you believe it now?

Perhaps... both of you are Mirror Phantom.

I'm right here, you can verify at any time.

*Cough...

Congratulations, this is the correct answer.

Both Damonica are impersonated by the Mirror Phantom.

However, you made a mistake at the beginning, so for this round, we can only consider it a draw.

To win this little game, you still have to work hard, my dear king.

... Um.

I won't lose again.

Quite confident, aren't you? Well then... onto the next question!

Awakener?

What is this place? Where is the prison?

The puzzle this time is Miss Hunter.

Your Majesty, have you figured out who is disguised as the Mirror Phantom?

The one without the pajamas.

That was quick, are you sure?

I confirm.

Let's start the next round.

It seems that you have indeed mastered a certain technique.

What on earth is going on? Mirror Phantom? You sure?

Don't worry, Miss Hunter, all you need to do is watch.

So, the third question..

... Um?

... Um?

Is this the Myselburg ruins? It does seem a lot more authentic than that castle.

Is this the Myselburg ruins? It does seem a lot more authentic than that castle.

Question Three, Your Highness the Princess.

Although she is a princess with white hair, she is not the daughter of the king.

She is the princess of the neighboring country.

Your daughter is still a little girl, it will be a few more years before she grows up.

We have already left the dungeon, and the game of the king and queen has come to an end.

She is the Mirror Phantom.

...Well then, let's verify it.

Congratulations, you've guessed correctly again.

When will this little game end? All their reflections are mirror images of the originals. You just need to remember the original appearance, there's no difficulty in this game at all.

Continue until you feel you have already won.

The score is now 2 to 0, it seems that we can already declare your victory.

If that's the case, let's call it an end.

Is it really okay to end it like this?

What are you trying to say?

Have you seen the clothes I'm wearing? I'm still the queen, and you're still the king. There's something you should have done, but it's not yet accomplished.

Find the missing princess.

Are you referring to the king's daughter?

I've said it, the game of playing king and queen has come to an end, and I have no intention of continuing to play along with you.

Whatever you want to say, it's best to tell me now.

I can't guarantee that I will remain as calm as I am now in a little while.

You are indeed still a child.

From the moment I met you, I have never told a single lie. Whether it's about my identity or my purpose, I have always been truthful.

I have never deceived you, nor have I caused you any harm. Is it just because I am a member of Rasparta that you harbor such great malice towards me?

So, I'm currently listening to your nonsense. Are you sure you want to continue saying these useless things?

...Understood.

I originally wanted to help you understand the differences between me and those Raspartas you know. But since you're not interested, I'll just get straight to the point.

Rasparta is not an unshakeable and impregnable organization.

I want to overthrow Rasparta, and this requires the help of Teslovik.

Overthrow Rasparta?

The faith of Rasparta is in the ancient gods, among whom many people wish to hasten the advent of these ancient deities, hoping for the prophecy to come true sooner.

I refer to them as the Adventists.

I do not believe in ancient gods, nor do I anticipate what their arrival might bring. I simply want to hold onto what I possess.

A primordial god that has brought disaster to this land is simply too uncontrollable, so I've decided to change my approach. I'm going to create a new primordial god.

You can refer to me and my companions as the 'God-making Sect'.

Creating ancient gods? You?

The power of the ancient gods cannot manifest directly in the world, so it requires a vessel, which is your sister, Rena.

From another perspective, this also indicates that Lena's body possesses the ability to bear the power of the ancient gods... If the ancient gods descend, the will of Rayna's body would still be dominated by herself.

So, who can deny that Lena has not become the new Old God?

You want Rayna to become an ancient god?!

The prophecy will surely come true, and the ancient god will definitely descend.

This is not an elusive fate, but a destined reality, because no person or entity can influence the process of the ancient gods' descent.

No matter how much you yearn to return to the ordinary past with your sister, you can't go back.

All you have done is nothing more than minimizing the losses after the arrival of the ancient gods

In that case, why not cooperate with me and let your sister become the new ancient god?

*Cough...

When I was in Rasparta, I had never heard of the Adventist and God Creator

Not only you, even [Solomon] has never heard of it.

You deceived...cough, cough, cough!

Deception? No, I simply spoke in advance about what I intend to do in the Future.

And when it comes to deception, who can surpass you?

You agree, don't you? The commander of the Gospel Troop, the person in charge of Project W, the creator of Saint Vivi, and the most hidden sage of the Empire - Saint Bartholomew.

I am no longer Saint Bartholomew.

You weren't at the beginning either.

Don't forget who bestowed upon you your identity, the Knight.

I have never forgotten, so I have never resisted.

Never resisted?

How did you manage to get on the wanted lists of both Rasparta and the Pope at the same time?

Or are we mistaken about you, that you have always been loyal and never betrayed us?

But who is the object of your loyalty? Rasparta? The Augustine Empire? Or who else?

...I am true to myself.

[Knight], Knight, is this your knightly spirit?

You've caught me, but instead of handing me over to Solomon, you've gathered so many people in my name, allowing the Mirror Demon to duplicate their appearances..

You don't have much loyalty to Rasparta either, you have no right to judge me.

Exactly, it's because none of us are loyal, that's why we're having this conversation today.

I want to gain complete control over the Empire, and possess everything of Teslovik...

Only be loyal to your own [knight], are you interested in cooperating with me?

... I see.

Ha, no wonder you've been after me for so long without finding me, and now you're actually inviting me.

The Awakener of Teslovik rejected your proposal, right?

[Knight], your downfall to this point is due to your personality.

What makes you think you are qualified to be a substitute for the Awakener?

Compared to that child, you are as the glow of a firefly to the brilliance of the moon.

I didn't actually wait for the child's response, the content of the response was not important, because I knew, I had already planted a seed in that child's heart.

This is enough.

Am I unimportant? Yes, I am unimportant. Since I am unimportant, why did you come to find me?

So, your answer is a refusal?

I have no reason to agree.

Even if Levia is incompetent, no one can question her faith.

As for you, a monster cloaked in human skin, I won't believe a word you say.

That's really a pity.

Personally, I don't think there's anything to regret.

What?

If she hadn't rejected me, how would I have had the chance to go out and have fun?

Then it's all up to you, Mirror Phantom.

The next time we meet, I hope to see someone who is exactly like Saint Bartholomew.

I hear your command, my master.

I hope Vera will like this story.

The master has put so much thought into this, Vera will definitely like it.

You seem a bit dissatisfied?

Dare not? It's nothing more than being shattered and dying a few times, why would I care?

I just don't understand, I've died so many times just to plant a seed in that person's heart. Is it really worth it?

Of course, it's worth it.

That seed has enough nutrients to grow. In the future, you will see its results.

That will be an incredibly breathtaking scene.

Vera is the dragon! Not the princess taken by the dragon!

You lied to Vera!

Of course, I didn't lie to you, my little princess.

Did you see the dragon in the story? It doesn't allow any external factors to distort its will, maintaining its dignity even when severely injured.

That is what you will grow into in the future.

Really?

Of course, but before you grow up,

you need to undergo just a minor surgery.

Damonica!

*Cough...

Expecting a child to think rationally was my oversight.

Please stay still, Your Majesty, your body has not yet recovered.

I understand that some members of Rasparta have done unforgivable things to you, and I'm also aware that Rasparta's philosophy is not widely accepted by the public.

Dare not? It's nothing more than being shattered and dying a few times, why would I care?

I just don't understand, I've died so many times just to plant a seed in that person's heart. Is it really worth it?

Of course, it's worth it.

That seed has enough nutrients to grow. In the future, you will see its results.

That will be an incredibly breathtaking scene.

Vera is the dragon! Not the princess taken by the dragon!

You lied to Vera!

Of course, I didn't lie to you, my little princess.

Did you see the dragon in the story? It doesn't allow any external factors to distort its will, maintaining its dignity even when severely injured.

That is what you will grow into in the future.

Really?

Of course, but before you grow up,

you need to undergo just a minor surgery.
