Soul Monarch: The Eclipse Feast Online

Appear, Ghosts? (Side)

My consciousness is drowning. Falling into the dark mud, unable to return. I could only step in bewildered, lost by an indeterminate voice.

Suddenly, all of that collapsed. The darkness sludge fell out, as if it was being shed by something. Confusion struck, coming with a glowing hand that pulled me wherever it was, but I felt I had returned.

My head was empty, the dark muddy room had been replaced with another room. It was still quite dark, but a golden tinge could be seen.

And more—

"?!"

I saw him. A girl, completely white with something that feels scary in it. When I look into his eyes at a glance, something else can be felt watching me from within. Makes me shudder and look away.

"W-what happened?! Where is this?" my screams accidentally leaked. Can I talk back?!

"Tell me where I am now, damn it!" the voice made me look over, looking like my brother was shouting furiously. "Take me now, damn it!" he nodded once more to the girl.

However, I noticed the other suit. Sister's body .. sister's body ....

"Reply answer me or—"

"Yes, try to keep your mind open and what memory you last realized, okay," the girl's voice stabbed me in the ear. Answer the brother calmly.

I recall what I can remember, at that time I searched for fumi leaves then .. I .. I ....

"Damn it!"

Brother shouts. However, it only made the girl silently unmoved from her initial position, as if just watching us from a distance.

...While me...

"All because of that goddamn teacher!"

I ....

"W-what am I, we're dead?" my force put out that word.

"Yes, for that matter I can guarantee that it's real."

The girl answered briefly. Remain with its thin curves that did not change in the slightest from the start, along with some tinge of light surrounding it.

I held my hand. Look at Him once more.

"Then are you a God?"

Is He a God of Reincarnation? The one who will return us to another life cycle?

"Yeah?"

And that answer has convinced me. Nodding instantly without needing any further questions. Because of that too, I can't look him in the eye directly and maybe that's why his attitude is very calm and does not care about the swearing of brother.

So you'll send us soon, God.

But—

"Sorry to make you expect a lot. But, yes .. no. I'm not." He denied this outright.

"Then, why did you say 'yes' before."

"Ah, forget it, okay. Anyway, I'm not." He waved his hand lightly while answering so.

"But you have welcomed us from the dead."

If not a God, then how could there be someone who would deliver back the souls of the dead like us? Although my body, our body has been transparent but we are completely aware so the possibility of us still in the world is impossible, because then we will only become ghosts.

"Technically, I'm just strengthening your ego."

And He answered that question with something I could not understand. Strengthening ego?

"But you have ...."

I intend to ask back but ....

"Hmm?" His smile changed. It didn't really change from the start but now it feels scary.

"A-You have ...."

"Hmm ...?"

And the fog of light that enveloped him started to twist slightly. Helpme! That's really scary!

"A-A-You ...."

"Don't say more, Sil," said the older brother as he patted me on the shoulder. "The girl's smile looks even scarier when you refute her."

I know that, brother! But even though you whispered to me, but it seems like he can still hear you know.

"Yes, for now. Tell me your names," He said, restoring my consciousness.

"I'm Zile Endary, and this is my sister, Sile Serust," replied the older brother firmly. But I can tell that his voice is becoming a little vibrating right now.

He asked without saying what we often hear. But that's ....

"All because of that goddamn teacher!"

"But we don't know for sure Brother!"

"Isn't everything clear Sil? That bastard was just using us!"

"But ...."

I intend to dispute that. It was still not necessarily true but upon seeing the body of brother lit up like a dark fire ...

"Our teacher killed us for his research ...!"

... I was silent by what my sister said.

Indeed what I last saw was the teacher swinging her dagger. But it could be to defend us from something, right?

"That's it."

And he had taken sister's statement for granted.

He propped his chin with one finger for a moment. Before removing the curvature of the lips with a different feel than before.

"Do you hate him?"

"Isn't that clear? He killed me, us!" replied brother for a moment while I was silent. Listen in.

"Do you feel unfair?"

"Of course!"

Again, sister answered that question easily while I .. something inside me started screaming. That's not possible.

But—

"Do you want to know what really happened to you?"

"Yes." Yeah." I answered that question faster than anyone. It was as if answering a cry from within me that had now calmed down.

I wonder what happened. What the hell happened to us? What the hell happened to me? Is it true that the teacher did what you said? That feels impossible but .. but ....

"I want to know."

"Yes, then. What do you want to do now?"

"Reply with the right thing," replied the older brother who was followed by a nod from me. Making the atmosphere behind that lip arch once again change.

"W-can you help us?" ask brother.

"You can be polite too? Then I'll help you guys." He said so. But— "Yes, what makes you sure I'll say that?"

Brother clenched his hand. Trying to squeeze his brain strongly to bring up the right idea. Even if this was not the right field for big brother, that person was directly facing all in front.

"I'll swear allegiance to you. On behalf of Dewa—"

"Don't swear on the Gods" cut him off on what big brother wants to say.

Wh why? Wasn't swearing to the Gods a commonly known thing as the ultimate oath?

"If you swear, swear on your own name, not someone else's. Destruction of your behavior is your own responsibility, not someone else's. Well, doesn't that sound more appropriate?"

Something happened, as if a thin thread connecting me, brother, and He was created. Sending something to us that is confused.

I felt as if I could feel what my sister felt. As he took a deep breath and ...

"As you wish. I, Zile Endary hereby swear. Not on behalf of anyone but on behalf of myself, will surrender my allegiance to you as long as you complete the prescribed payment."

... Swear according to his will. Use our name as a base.

He nodded at my sister before looking at me. "And you? Well, what do you want?"

Uh. Apparently so.

I laughed internally. He's not a god but some kind of demon, is he? Tempting us and finally tying our souls to him. However ...

"I, Sile Serust hereby swear. Not on behalf of anyone but on behalf of myself, will surrender my allegiance to you as long as you complete the prescribed payment."

... I will surrender myself for the truth.

"Then, then fine.” And he finally looked at us deeply. ”I, Dirae accept your request and the specified payment, will be settled soon."
