Hildegard still remembers the first time he saw that soul.

There’s no way I can forget it, and I still remember it from time to time, enough to dream about it.

But if I’m going to be honest, I wasn’t even thinking about walking next to Soma like this then.

You can’t even think about it.

Because soma was undoubtedly just a fragile person then.

Still, that soul would have blinded me greatly due to my instincts as a dragon.

Hildegard is a god, but he is originally just a dragon.

Although it is suppressed by will, it also has its instincts as a dragon.

And dragons have the nature to seek something stronger than themselves.

There is also the nature of collecting glowing things, but that is an alternative.

What is strong, its soul is also strong.

But there is no such thing as a dragon having enough soul to satisfy.

So instead of seeking glowing souls, they manage to satisfy their desires by collecting precious metals, etc.

But on the contrary, if you find enough souls to satisfy you, it doesn’t matter what precious metals do.

Fact Hildegard threw away everything he had accumulated until then, the moment he saw Soma’s soul.

In Hildegard’s eyes, they just looked like rubbish anymore.

At the same time, Hildegard was to be attacked by something similar to a sense of hunger.

Whatever you sacrificed, I definitely wanted to get it.

On the contrary, I can also say that I actually did.

Because I plundered it from the hands of other gods.

I really wanted to keep it on hand, but I didn’t because reason worked.

No matter how glowing your soul may be, the soma is just a fragile person at that time.

If Hildegard showed up before that, it wouldn’t have been strange if that had just shattered his soul.

Of course it was possible, but I just didn’t feel like trying.

Letting it go into the field could have clouded my soul… but then I had no choice, so I decided to give up.

I thought it would be far better than breaking it myself.

… Though it would be a lie when it comes to not having expectations.

Still, I was curious, so sometimes from above the high sky, sometimes from beyond the distant horizon, I watched as I watched, but then I became noticed, so the time I was doing so is not that long.

It must have been about five years.

Although I’ve been concerned since then, I’ve had a stuffy time without being able to do anything about it… which is why when Soma came to me, her whole body shook up so much joy.

Its soul is more polished and more radiant than cloudy, and it’s not the only one.

The flesh, which should have been only fragile, had been so forged that it seemed worthy of its soul that it had been pulled up to stand in line with itself.

How happy I was with that was beyond words, and honestly I wanted to roll around on the spot with less joy.

Obviously, if I did it, I would be pulled off, although I had nothing to do because I still had the degree of judgment I thought I would have.

Nevertheless, the need to do that soon disappeared.

Because what you want more than anything else is now feasible.

Yes, if what the dragon really wants is not to be watching something shiny, then it’s not to get it either.

And if Soma wanted it, too, he had nothing to say at the earliest.

Even in front of himself, instead of trembling in fear, his mouth angle rises naturally when he sees his eyes full of war.

And so…

“Hmm… is it a staircase? I still don’t want to encounter demons. I think it’s probably the same where I tried hitting this hierarchy to smudge it, but what do you do… Hildegard?

“- Mm?”

And he was looking too far back at the past by accident.

To the surprised voice of Soma, Hildegard returns to me all the time.

“Was there anything that bothered you?

“No… I was just a little confused. It’s not a problem… So, uh, what did you talk about?

“I’m talking about whether we’re going down like this or not… maybe we’re accumulating even tired? So far, there seems to be no problem, and if so, I think we can go back once…”

“Yes, no, it’s really okay! Um, this hierarchy doesn’t look like anything if you’re walking any further, and you’re going next!

Saying or not, moving on, I felt like I heard a sigh of fright from the rear, but Hildegard decided not to care.

It is true that I have been a little busy lately, and I cannot say that I am not tired.

But I was really just remembering a little too much about that, and most importantly, if I go home here, I don’t know when I’ll be able to come next.

I invited Soma here today in the name of doing some research here, but also for a change of mood.

That’s half what forced me to take the holiday, and given every request from Iori, it would be harder to take the time ahead.

But then, if there really was a problem here, it could be a big deal.

It is necessary to carry out an investigation until the end.

I can predict that I would just be told that Soma would have to do the investigation by herself when I said or so.

Now I just said I can’t do that and it’s not convincing… or in the end, Hildegard just doesn’t want to go home yet.

I want to be more with Soma.

That is all.

If there’s anything you know about Hildegard in the original world, you might laugh about yourself like this.

Instead of keeping it on hand and making it your own, I wonder if you’re becoming their own.

But I hope so, at least that’s what Hildegard thinks.

This may be a situation I wonder about as a god, but Hildegard is not a god right now.

Then there will be nothing wrong with it.

Moving forward with that in mind, the stairs eventually end and we head out to a wide area.

We have reached the ninety-first level.

But if this isn’t a labyrinth already, maybe it’s not the right way to say it.

“Hmm… this place has the same vibe as before”

Hildegard nods at Soma’s words, which were following him right behind him.

Although only vision is dim, that’s all.

I used to feel it when I came here, it doesn’t feel sticky or unpleasant, which is characteristic of this place.

And it’s been the same ever since we got down to the 50th floor.

“Not really the same, though. Not necessarily. Just keep your guard down.”

“I don’t need to be told, or does that seem like a dialogue to me? WHERE WHERE WERE WE HAD BEEN BEAUTIFUL earlier…”

“Ugh… well, I was just a little too free earlier to be bored! Now you’re gonna be okay!

“Well, it’s true, because demons don’t come out and they’re just walking in the dark, so it’s no choice but to be free…”

His gaze was turned as he said it, and Hildegard took his gaze off softly.

I just made a cluttered excuse earlier and I feel my ratings are dropping off with tremendous momentum… what, now.

We just have to get it back from here.

Most importantly, if this is really no longer a labyrinth, it is somewhat doubtful that there will be an opportunity to recover it.

… No, that’s where it remained a labyrinth, the same?

Because in the end, where it happened, Soma would solve it.

Then all that remains is to show off some knowledge that Soma would be interested in… well, what else would have happened?

As he explored his own memories, Hildegardo went back with Soma as he turned his gaze to his surroundings.
