Mine stared at me for a while.

But I got pussy off my face.

Though I think you're in trouble, I'll come closer and talk to you.

"Hey, Mine."

"... who are you?

Is that so...

Same as when I was in the grid. In this world, I seem to have met for the first time.

Okay, if this is Mine's world of hearts, we need to start somewhere close. Otherwise, a decent conversation is difficult.

Mine is still holding his knees and sitting still on the material.

"I'm Faith."

"... fait"

"Earlier, Mr. Cairos helped me where I was caught in the fight. That's why they brought me here. Why are you here?

"I fought Cairos and lost. Sloth's been taken away."

"You won't give it back, so you're here"

"Yes."

"You're in trouble."

I was sitting on the side, and Bo and I were watching the construction work on the outer wall.

"Where did you come from?

I guess you're looking at me and saying it. Kaylos said dark hair and dark eyes are rare here. It is clear that he is not a Gallian characterised by brown.

"I've come a long way from here."

"Borderlands?

I'm not going to be able to say I'm from the real world here now.

Mine's heart is still trapped in this past.

Looks like we're going to have to keep up with the world of Mine's past.

"I guess that's what I mean. It's hard to say this is a land where people can live, too?

"I used to not. There was a big city spreading around the area. Collect the rubble and Cairos will make it."

"Who is Cairos fighting?

"It's not who. I'm fighting a country called Imperial Gallia. And I'm a prisoner."

Are you fighting the country?

A fight on that scale would convince me. Obviously, it was war.

Nevertheless, Mine was curious to say he was a prisoner.

You're free to be a prisoner.

"I have no place to go back when I lose. Because he knows that."

Is there no place to go home...... Mine seems to have been an assassin unleashed by the Empire.

"You're the one, I don't know why you're here"

"Are you saying you're in danger?

"Yes. And I feel the same power from you as we do. Power similar to that of Cairos."

"Could it be because I was interested, you're talking to me?

Mine nodded quietly. Apparently, the Big Crimes Skill Holders recognize each other.

I feel that feeling, too. That seems to engage each other like magnets.

Once we get closer, it's harder to leave.

"There's that too. And for some reason... talking to you calms me down. We... have we met somewhere?

Red eyes were staring at my face.

Even if I say I'm being held prisoner in the past, does that include the slightest but not the present?

What do we do? How do we answer?

"I..."

I just opened my mouth that far, and there was a voice from Cairos.

"It's dinner for both of us. How dare you get hungry?"

"I'm not fighting anymore"

"Don't say that. I need your help. Faith, come quick."

Cairos stands us up.

And I say push Mine's back.

"You always eat more than anyone," he said.

"Gu."

I know that too. She eats a lot.

Looking at Mine walking ahead, Cairos tells me.

"He eats more than I do on a rampage."

"Where are you getting your food?

"It's from Imperial City. Another unit has been sourcing by multiplying the battle just now."

"That's... I mean"

"It sounds like a bulimia. Always taking it away. I don't want that to happen to you."

"Mr. Cairos... what the hell are you"

"Come on, if you eat dinner, it's another rampage"

The meals prepared were neither flattering nor tasty.

I say it's a good thing to just go in the belly, and Kaylos is eating it looking delicious.

Mine sitting beside him eats silently. Only...... she had lost her taste before and said it was the same no matter what she ate.

I thought they'd say something similar to Kaylos.

"Do you think Mine tastes good about this?

"Not good. Facilities are better yet"

"What!?

"What?"

"You know what this tastes like?

"Naturally. I'm still noisy at the taste of this"

"Really!?

"Persistent"

They pissed me off.

I found out, however, that Mine seems to have a taste.

Haven't you lost it yet at this time?

My personality is the same.

"If you like, I'll give you my share."

"Whoa."

I let my eyes shine and started eating my meal. Of course, Mine's already finished eating.

Cairos was laughing when he saw it.

"You're not going to have to eat my share this time. It's a tricky one for the captives. Was Faith glad about that? It's tough to be hungry, isn't it?

"I'm used to it."

I sighed and said, once again, they laughed.

"That's not a good place to get used to it."

Watch Mine's extravagant eating power for two.

"At this rate, you can be sure of a replacement. What do you think of Faith?

"I'm sure you will."

"It's always like this."

Mine ate as much as he could and went over to the corner again.

Cairos said as he dropped it off.

"Looks like you're full. Hmm? What's up?

It seemed to bother me because I was watching him.

"Mr. Cairos, why are you fighting?

"I don't know why... The beginning is just to live. And I'm still fighting to live. I'm not fighting for noble will."

Cairos looked around at the people who were building the base.

"At some point, it became so big a place, though."

"To live?

"Yes. To live like a human being. Me and the guys here, they were Imperial Toys. I chose to escape, get here, and fight. You had a plane angel that you knocked down in that fight earlier, didn't you?

"If I hadn't gotten away with it, I could have gotten away with it."

His story says that experiments with people were repeated in Imperial Capital.

Human rank was strictly determined there. Human rights do not exist in those who have become the lowest people.

Anything was allowed to be done for the study of skills, a gift given by God.

It was said that the aim of the study was to elucidate how stronger skills would emerge.

They were able to take it off to the outside world thanks to the help of researchers who did not make it good in their unusual research.

"The man who helped me then, he's dead. There was the word 'live' that I was told at that time, so maybe you've come this far. I almost got swallowed up over and over again by my bulimia skills, but that's what brought me back."

Cairos seemed to use his bulimia skills more than I did.

But maybe the situation is similar to mine.

"Even you...... are your bulimia skills difficult?

"You know best, don't you? Besides, I've never thought of this skill as a special force. This is a curse from me. How's Faith?

"I... it would be a lie to say that I really didn't feel that way. But without this power, I couldn't protect my loved ones, and I wouldn't be here right now."

"I know how that feels."

As far as I can tell, the Imperial City of Gallia is doomed.

This war should be won by the Cairos. And he's losing his life.

Because Gried said so, I'm pretty sure.

I feel a gaze. Looking in that direction, Mine was staring at me.
