For You This World I'll Destroy

Megistus Triad (2)

Among the scattered books, Lumina wrapped the burn in my hand with ointment and bandage But an unfamiliar silence troubled my heart. Both of Lumina's eyes that were staring far away became a hint of her mind that was going through, perhaps, thinking of a question without an answer.

“You must be wondering what Puella Dragonica means, right?” I asked to break the witch's daydream.

Lumina's hand stopped, her eyes unable to meet mine. Subjecting himself as he replied, “Princess... Can I trust you?”

“You're my assistant, right? Is there any reason for you not to believe me?” I asked back, who then raised the witch's face and looked at her very, very,

“If what Quina said is true, why am I currently reepot-repot helping the human civilization that I destroyed with the Nyght Plague?”

“... That is the question I have always wanted to address you, Princess,” she said holding my hand, “Princess Noctis, are you the greatest enemy of mankind or their only savior?”

“Not both, I am but a witch who crossed their destiny,” answered me who stood and approached the window, looking behind it people celebrated the birth of the new Yggdrasil with a big meal.

“If the Matrovska are the mastermind behind the Nyght Plague, then the answer you want to look for is in Arthur's hands. Isn't it rather than asking me, you should be looking for the kid?” my many.

“Don't you worry about Arthur, Princess? If Puella Dragonica finds her first, I don't know what she'll do to Arthur.”

“... Why should I worry about the child who has chosen his path?” I said the one who left Lumina's house.

Along the street of Clariyastra district, I saw people coloring the sky with light crystal butterflies. The butterfly is a craft from the Lantern Flower that is a sign of coming time of peace. After their acceptance as the people of Pei Jin, the Nyght outbreak was stopped and their fears of superadical snow had now been removed by Yggdrasil, only a smile appearing on their lips. Unlike the hopeless dead look I met four months ago.

But I saw behind the branches of Yggdrasil, a blizzard still waiting behind it. It's not over yet, the real enemy is still waiting for me behind there.

“Princess Noctis!” greet the cheerful voice that approaches me.

“Claudya and..” said I tried to recognize the man beside the red Claudya, but free.

“Jun Majio,” said the man looked down respectfully at me, “I am one of the Matrovska that Princess saved a month ago.”

“O-oh, you are human apparently,” said I who shook the hand and saw the two young men join hands together, along with the curse tattoo marks that once bound their lives.

“I didn't know you two turned out so close,” I said smiling and folding hands, “What might be the reason Claudya asked me for help first, be to save her lover?” tanyaku.

The faces of the two young men instantly turned red and smiled manyunily. Claudya patted me on the shoulder and said, “D-Based on this Princess, likes to tease people. How could I dare to trick a princess, right?”

Claudya also gave me a crystal butterfly. But different from the others, the butterfly ornament is so beautiful. Its green color reminds me of the beauty of a person. If my estimation is correct, hmm, this crystal butterfly is made from a very rare Lantern Flower variant called Lover’s Oath.

“You have saved the most meaningful person in my life. Maybe this thing means nothing to the Princess, but this is an expression of gratitude from us,” said Claudya who showed her mate crystal butterfly,

“Of course the Princess does not forget the tradition of Junon, right? When hard times pass, humans will present their 3 treasures to the Goddess. That crystal butterfly might, ehehe, could be the treasure that the Princess presented!”

I was stunned to hear it. Honestly, long ago I left the human city, I've forgotten it. In the past, my brother liked it very much.

“Fragrance for the blessings given, prayer for self and family protection and hope for a bright future. That's a symbol that must be filled 3 offerings right?” I asked who then stroked the crystal butterfly and smiled, saying,

“Thank you, Dewi Nyghtingale will definitely love this beautiful butterfly of yours,” I said that made Claudya's eyes glow.

The lovers said goodbye to me, continuing on to the temple of Nyghtingale. I breathed a sigh of relief and looked at my hand. Strangely enough, a hand that only knows how to destroy this can unite the two separate souls. But is a drop of white in the mud of darkness able to remove its dark color? I doubt.

Continuing my journey, a delicious scent danced in my nose. Different from the unpleasant smell I smelled four months ago, along the neat stone streets now people are cooking their best dishes. With a resplendent smile, they shared with each other and laughed in warmth.

I stopped in front of a long line to the house of the village chief, Uncle Roger. Curious I asked the young man there, what are they lining up?

“Loh, Princess don't know? Before his conscription, Uncle Roger was a famous chef in Junon loh,” said the young man who was one.

“Saking delicious, the taste of Uncle Roger's cooking can take you to the seventh sky!” the others are not less excited.

“Ho. The bald kingclong turned out to have a surprising side,” I said.

Suddenly someone knocked on my head, who else would dare to do so other than the impolite Uncle Roger? She looked at me amusedly, “Heh, you think I only know fighting doang?”

Roger laughed so hard that he closed my ears. He patted me hard on the back and said loudly, “Then, just try messaging! Especially for the savior of this district, I, five-star Roger the Chef, will cook anything for you.”

“Anything? Seriously? Hm... Then I order a hamburger one.”

“H-Ha? That free? You don't want to mess with something difficult like sushi or something?”

I nodded, “Yes, that's enough really. A great chef should be able to make simple dishes extraordinary, right?” my challenge.

Roger laughed, “Alright! Then, I'll make you a hamburger that you won't forget forever!”

“Don't disappoint me, Uncle Roger,” said I'm taking a seat in a special chair at the restaurant so-then.

While waiting, I noticed a family eating their delicious dinner. Skinny and hungry children have now risen up full of vigor. Loudly laughing and wide their smiles when chatting with their parents, made me follow smiling.

But roger's words troubled my heart. Rescuer, huh? Is this temporary plastering solution I can call saving them? Is what I'm doing enough to solve this district problem? Not likely. It is too arrogant for me, this hypocritical witch, to receive the designation “savers”.

“This is it, Hamburger signature Chef Roger,” said uncle Roger who served me a large hamburger with melted cheese. The smell made my stomach churn to eat it, the lustre of the multi-layered flesh caused my saliva to flood.

Before I was defeated by temptation, I wrapped the hamburger.

“L-Loh, Princess does not eat it directly?”

I shook my head, “I want to dedicate it to Dewi Nyghtingale,” I said, who got up.

“H-Ha?! How come, I make it difficult for the Princess!”

Laugh at me and pat Roger on the shoulder, “Know not, Uncle? Hamburger is the favorite food of the Goddess. Sure, get this strait burger, Dewi Nyghtingale will bless you and your efforts.”

After saying goodbye to Uncle Roger, I continued my journey. Now to my last stop, the Yggdrasil Tree I just called in this world. Under his shady branches, I sat there, staring at the arid courtyard that lay before me.

No one, no insects there. Me and you alone in this silence.

I took Claudya's crystal butterfly and let it fly on the branches of Yggdrasil. The light green color became the bright white contrast of the crystal tree. He danced agilely, just like you were on me.

Still remembering me, in my manger, that cold body touched my face. With a stupid smile that always wanted to erase my fear, you said, too,

“Aaaah, I'd love to. eat Mama's hamburger again.”.

Now, as if replacing your role, I bit the hamburger. The savory that was on my tongue danced with the spicy seasoning that spoiled my taste. So delicious is the hamburger, slowly removing the flavor that used to be the warmth of our family.

I realized that those days were far from my reach now. The innocence of childhood is now replaced by cynical adult relatia. This tree is a symbol of a lie that covers up the truth about you. A futile struggle for me who doesn't want to let you go.

Is it possible, as Arthur said, that if I let go of my obsession with you, my life would be better? Will I be able to understand happiness and love when I am in your life?

But, on the one hand if I lose my last memory of you, then what else do I have, Mentari?

“Why Princess crying?” said Lumina who appeared in front of me.

Shocked I immediately wiped away the tears with my sleeve, before the gentle woman wiped them with a handkerchief.

“Shouldn't you be looking for Arthur, Lumina?”

Lumina smiled gently and sat down next to me. He looked at the crystal butterfly I took off and said,

“For what do I bother looking for an answer, when it will come by itself?”

“... Looks like you already understand.”

Lumina nodded, “Princess of the Moon.. You are the real enemy of the world.”.
