Not so long ago, Nix finally noticed my presence. She even called my name too Although the process wasnt pretty, it was thanks to you.

Because of me?

Right. You managed to shake Nixs mental state. Thanks to that, her memories, which had sank to the bottom, were able to rush to the surface.

It was a metaphor that was a bit hard to understand.

Nevertheless, he had a feeling that he shouldnt brush it aside easily.

Torkunta shared body and mind with Nix. In other words, he had the most objective and accurate grasp on Nixs condition.

Her memories sank?

He couldnt help but wonder if that only applied to Nix.

Or if everyone else was the same.

If it was the latter, he wondered how he could help them recall their sunken memories. Could the method used against Nix work again?

What exactly did he say to Nix that caused it to happen anyway?

How is Nix now?

Shes hibernating. This is only natural considering that she had been on the verge of losing her mind.

As he spoke Torkunta raised his arms and stretched.

Mmm-I really gotta thank you. Its been a long time since I was allowed to see the outside and I love being able to move around like this. Ahh. It feels so good to move my body. Even if its a lowly body without claws, scales, wings, or a tail.

You do know thats Nixs body, dont you?

Hmph. I know that. In the end, this is only a brief moment of freedom anyway. Nix is the one who is really in control of this body. As soon as she wakes up, Ill be trapped inside again.

You also said that she couldnt hear your voice either

That was what it was like before, but she seemed to notice my presence just before she fell unconscious, so things might be different now.

I see. That means I might not see you again any time soon.

Lukas couldnt help but feel that it was a pity. In this world where everyone had forgotten about Lukas, Torkunta was the only one who remembered him.

He never thought that there would be such a day, where Torkunta became the one who was supporting Lukas weakened spirit to an extent.

Wh-, what are you doing? Stop that.

However, Torkunta took a large step backwards with a pale blue complexion.

What do you mean?

D-, dont look at me like that.

How am I looking at you?

Like a male trying to court a female.

thats a misunderstanding.

I, I reject your courts.h.i.+p! Even if I look like this right now, my mind is still completely male!

Youre misunderstanding!

After brus.h.i.+ng off Torkuntas nonsense, Lukas became lost in thought.

In any case, it was unclear when Torkuntas mind would disappear into Nixs subconscious again. But he could still use the limited time when he was in control to find out as much as possible.

If Nix regains consciousness, will she still be hostile towards me?

Im not sure. But if that does happen then you definitely wont survive. Nixs mind has fully stabilised now. So her power wont be unstable like what you faced before.

Lukas completely agreed.

From now on, if Nix wanted to, then all of the people in this cave, Lukas, Peran, and the Swordnaz, would be burned to ashes in the blink of an eye.

What should I do?

Since Torkunta was in control now, he could send him as far away from them as possible. If he were to ask him to do so, Torkunta would probably agree without much fuss. But Lukas didnt want to let go of his only clue source.

By the way.

Torkunta opened his mouth as if he was just talking in pa.s.sing.

There are other people who remember you other than me.

What did you cough!

Lukas coughed heavily.

Dammit. His body was in a really bad condition. He couldnt believe that he was in so much pain just because his heart began to beat a bit faster.

Are you okay?

Im alright, keep talking. Are there really others that remember me?

Maybe.

Who?

0

I dont know.

Lukas almost cursed at that moment.

When he turned to glare at Torkunta, he was met with a dazzling smile.

This is revenge for earlier. How do you like it?

Earlier? Was he talking about the courts.h.i.+p eyes that he mentioned before?

I told you that was a misunderstanding.

I didnt misunderstand that look in your eyes.

In any case. I wasnt joking when I said I dont know. All I know is that it was a woman. I dont know anything more than that.

An unknown woman?

Right. It was few years ago, before Nix went completely mad. A woman came up the mountain and asked her, `Do you remember Lukas Trowman?

Of course, Nix had already completely forgotten your existence, so she sent her away.

The first person that came to Lukas mind was Iris, but he knew it couldnt be her.

She hadnt remembered Lukas existence even when he met her face to face, much less to mention his name to others.

Then who else could it be?

Someone who still remembered Lukas Trowman

What did she look like?

I dont know. I was still locked away at that time, so I couldnt see anything. At best, all I could hear was her voice. Thats how I knew it was a woman in the first place.

This was becoming more and more mysterious.

Then, all of a sudden, the image of a person appeared in Lukas mind.

(TL: Brownie points for anyone who can guess who the mysterious woman is.)
