Wait a minute.

Lili rushes to follow Bell as she cheeks the dishes that are still lined up on the table.

Bell, on the other hand, walks away early enough without worrying about the late Lili. He was wearing a hood deep like that. Bell chose a small back alley. I want to avoid being any more prominent.

Gradually the distance between the two opens.

"Hey!"

Lili rushed to put it directly behind the bell and grabbed her arm.

"... what the heck. You're not afraid of me?

Bell said that in a dark, low tone voice.

…… Why should I be scared?

Lili is leaning her neck. I don't seem to understand what Bell is saying.

"You don't know when the devil in me will wake up! Still coming after me?

Bell yelled out loud. Apparently he was trying to keep Lili away from himself by talking about his past.

"It doesn't matter. I have to wake your mother. Because you're my only hope."

Lili is not afraid of Belle. Bell, who thought this would keep Lili away, held her head.

"I don't want to hurt anyone else around me any more. Why don't you know? If you follow me, the Federation will chase you, and I don't know what danger awaits you."

Belle really doesn't want you to come about Lili. The horror of himself acting on his own without his knowledge would be something only he could understand.

"I'm ready. You need to find a way not to let the devil take your body, too, right?

Lili doesn't bend her opinion. She has a strong conviction. With the dangers that arise with Bell and her balance of helping her mother, she chose to help her mother.

No matter how great the danger, Lili chooses the path if she can possibly help her mother.

"Damn it, dude, dude. You won't know if you regret it later, will you?

Bell breaks better here. No matter how much she punches, she follows. Bell understood that. Besides, I guess I thought maybe her bottom out brightness would have some good effect on me.

"Okay! That's settled!

Lili shook Bell's hand when she gave him a full smile.

"Oh, wow."

Bell was confused.

Having lived in a barn for most of her teens, Bell has not been in contact with a woman in a long time. Bell, who avoided engaging with people as much as possible, was even more bewildered by the contact.

"If you decide so, where are you going? If you're being chased from the Limia Confederacy, you'd better stay as far away from Limia as you can, wouldn't you? If so, it might be a good idea to go for Breath River."

Lili just gets involved with Bell. I suggested the idea of escape. Brace River is a Serbian city in the easternmost part of the continent.

"I haven't decided on anything specific yet. But you're right, we're going east. We need to get out of this town first. Did you come over the Amnis Desert?

"You don't come all the way through such a dangerous place! I came on a train from Brace River."

"Why did you come all the way west? Find the Black Mage from the East."

"Shut up! I slept in the train and I came all the way here!

"Cover me up."

"Hey, what's up?"

Bell started accepting that Lili was there.

The first priority is to leave this town of Adford. Because when we entered this town, it should have been known that Bell Queer Faust had broken in.

"Ka-Misama!

At that time, suddenly a voice came from behind the two of them and Bell's sleeve was pulled.

"So, who!

Bell shook off the little hand that held his sleeve reflexively. And look back.

"Wow! Hey! Your brother's a god, isn't he?

That's what I said, he was a little boy with bossy silver hair. The boy has coal on his face and an innocent smile on his face. That was that boy who was inside the fire house.

"What? God?

Bell rounds his eyes. When I put out the fire, I completely forgot that the people in town called me God.

"Did you hear that? Even God."

Lili can't hide her laugh when she hears the words. Belle, the devil, is called God. That was crazy and I couldn't wait.

In contrast, Bell gave him a dark look.

"That's right! Everybody says so. He put out the fire in my house..."

The boy said so with an innocent smile on his face. Bell is a hero to him.

"Oh, there he is! God. God!

As follows the boy, people from the town push over from a little far away.

It's been quite a while since then, even considering the battle with Rock, the time I told him about my past, but still the people in town kept looking for Bell.

"Look, Belle! Not if you're immersed in sentiment!

Bell responds to Lili's words and looks up. When he grasped the situation, he immediately fled in the opposite direction.

At that time, Bell was unconsciously pulling the boy's hand. Such a bell's hand was pulled by Lili.

As the three continue to run even narrow back alleys, they find an even narrower alley and escape into it.

The townspeople lost sight of the three men. Still, Bell kept running away with caution and didn't stop until he made sure no one was coming after him anymore. I want to avoid being surrounded by a large crowd and remembering my face.

Then a while later, the three finally stopped.

"Ha-ha-ha..."

Lili has her hands on her chest and is correcting her disturbed breathing.

"Why are you out of breath like that?

"Huh? Oh, because I hadn't been running lately...... ahahahahahahaha"

Lili made a laugh. Maybe she doesn't quite understand the harshness of it, even though she's about to throw herself on a dangerous journey.

"I'm Allen. I'm Allen Levy. Thanks for your help, brother!

Allen smiled again and thanked Belle.

The smile was like an angel. It's been a long time since people have appreciated Bell, desperately blinding.

"So, what's this kid gonna do?

Lili hadn't missed where Bell was pulling Allen's hand. You shouldn't have bothered to bring the existence that doesn't matter.

"Oh, you were bringing me here unconsciously..."

Bell is surprised by his actions. Bringing Allen here was something I really unconscious about.

"I'm following your brother!

Allen has a face she can't hate. You can't involve such a little boy in Bell's dangerous journey.

"Isn't that nice? One of these days, you're gonna be homesick and you're gonna want to go home."

From now on, it's bound to be a harsh journey. I only bring him around while I'm in Adford. That's what Bell had decided.

"Isn't that irresponsible?... Oh, you look more curly than that."

"Right."

Once again, Lili and Bell make sure they've wrapped around people pushing over like waves. The vast majority of people had lost sight of them in the first divide. Then it went on for a while, so there were no more followers.

‼ ︎

The next moment, Lili lost her word.

"Hmm? What's wrong?

Bell looks at Lili's expression and shifts her gaze ahead of Lili's gaze.

There was a man who fell on his back. My eyes are closed and I don't see any movement at all. I can't help but be surprised at Lili.

"Are you drunk? I hope he's not dead..."

That's what Bell says, approaching the person who is falling.

Then, sitting beside him, he puts his finger on the man's right wrist to see if it's safe or not.

"... how do I know this guy is alive...?

"there ⁉ə"

Lili, whose ears were clear on Bell's words, shouts so unexpectedly. I didn't expect Bell to say that. Bell, who spent 10 years in a barn, lacked basic knowledge.

"No more! You can't guess."

When Lili regains her mind, she moves to the man and sits down. When he sees it, Bell pulls back. Just as Bell did, Lili began to check the men's cheapness.

"This may not be alive..."

Immediately after that, Lili's face blued at once. If this was a corpse, it was just horrible to imagine.

"What? Seriously. What are we gonna do... from our standpoint, we'd better leave this matter untouched..."

Bell tries to walk away from this spot right away. It's only a matter of time before Adford's people know about Bell's nomination arrangements. If I stay here, I'll be suspected of not being there.

"Where is it? People are falling?

The moment Bell tried to walk away, a young man suddenly rushed into the alley.

"Huh? Did you possibly eavesdrop?

Lili looked at the young man with such disgusting eyes.

What showed up there was a blonde, long-length man with glasses, close to light gray. He is dressed in white.

"No, it's not. This child says that people are falling..."

The man, in a hurry, denies Lili's guess. And I pointed to Allen.

"Belle... this kid, maybe you should keep your eyes open"

Lili whispered into Bell's ear. Allen was acting on his own while he was distracted by a man who might be dead. Neither of us thought they were going to call people.

"Oh, yeah."

For Belle and Lili, Allen became fearful at once.

"Hahahahaha... sorry, I think I surprised you... my name is Jake Hausent and I am a doctor in this town"

Doctor Jake politely greeted him. From the looks of it, I fully understand the Bells are younger, but I speak with respect. It doesn't look like a bad person.

"Oh, thank you"

The three look at Jake showing polite attitude and greet him briefly.

"So let's not dare carry that person"

Jake pointed to a falling man.

"Yes."

Bell, Lili, and Jake take the body and figure together to a small hospital just around the corner.

That was the Hausent Hospital run by Jake. The sturdy Hausent Hospital doesn't look like a hospital from the looks of it, but it seems to be more solid built than the rest of the house.

The three were then led to an empty room. Looks like a reception room. Jake carried the man who was falling into the O.R.

After a while, Jake came back to the three of us.

"Um... is that guy dead?

Bell is afraid, to hear the diagnosis of that man.

"Ah, ah. It's... I can't say anything right now. No trauma, no abnormality in the body. It could be a state of temporary death."

Jake answered troubled. When he saw a doctor, he didn't seem to know the details.

"What do you mean, a state of provisional death?

Lili glanced forward and heard that. If a man is not dead, it is very similar to the symptoms of his own mother. That's what she thought. I might have some tips.

"Actually, I have some knowledge of black magic (Grimoire). Maybe this is a better problem from a black magic perspective than from a medical point of view."

"Huh? Are you sure!

Lili gets up unexpectedly. I didn't expect to see anyone involved in black magic (Grimoire) so soon.

"Yeah, well."

Jake doesn't know why Lili is happy and is confused.

"Ah, go ahead. Please continue."

"Yes. In the Black Magic Book (Grimoire), a person's soul is called an“ orb ”. What you call an orb, broadly speaking, is a soul ready for all living things. This orb can also be a source of magic, one of the things the devil wants. And it's also forming a demon."

The Orb is a mystical being, also said to be a symbol of power, and there are even people who say that the Orb is the world.

"I mean, are our souls demons?

Bell doesn't understand what Jake is saying and has his head.

"No, you don't. It's something completely different. However, since a person's soul is a material that stabilizes the existence of the devil, the devil tries to take his soul away. Back to business, when I say that person's state of provisional death..."

Jake finally gets to the point, the three of them listening attentively to his words.

"I'm not out of my predictions at the moment, but by some means, he could be out of orb."

Jake conveyed his own hypothesis. That seems to be the only possibility he can think of right now.

"Did they pull the orb out?

Bell tilts his neck. I didn't even know what I was talking about earlier, but I'm not sure what I'm talking about.

"That means they ripped your soul out, right?

Lili checks with Jake.

"Yes. It means literally. Originally, the orb drifts naturally for the most part, if not inside something, of which only a few become ghosts. The orb has often not been elucidated and is said to be a mystery."

Jake added about the orb. Orbs don't know what potential they still have.

"Assuming what I said is right, you might not think it's better to go back."

"Why not?

Lili listens seriously to stories she may have had with her mother.

"For example, if you put someone else's orb in a living person, it doesn't increase your life to two, it just becomes a dual personality. So once the pulled out orb is undone, there is no guarantee that it will come back to life. Besides, it's hard to find the orb of a plucked person."

That meant that there was little chance that a man would come back to life.

"Really..."

Lili hammers unfortunately.

It won't go back to normal. I wanted to think that had nothing to do with my mother. I don't know anything about black magic (Grimoire), but at least the black magic book I saw at that time (Grimoire) didn't say anything about an orb being pulled out.

"Somehow, can't you find it?

Here, Bell's bad habits began to develop. Just as it was in a fire, when people are in trouble, they try to help.

"... would be very grateful if you could help. What I said is only hypothetical. If only we could find an orb, we could figure it out."

"Okay. If I can help Mr. Jake, I'll try."

Bell was totally concerned about the ride. I can't stop this happening.

"Hey! We're fugitives. Not if you're doing this, right?

Lili whispered in Bell's ear. Here, Lili is making a calmer decision.

"It could have something to do with your mother, right?

In contrast, Bell also whispers in Lili's ear.

Lili, hearing what this bell said, became silent. Sure it is. I don't want to think it's the same thing, but I can't say enough that it's completely unrelated.

"Mr. Hausent! This man is dead!

While we were having that conversation, another patient was brought in.

"Again?"

Jake had a bad feeling.

Continuous orb extraction case. What the hell is waiting for you to say?
