===========


(After battle - Pic related)

Lilith: "This is happening because you started questioning. It can't be helped, Kyrielight. That shield rejects you, who is not pure. You thought of everything equally. You had to continue acknowledging everything as having the same worth. But you want to protect someone close to you."

Mash: "That's...! Just natural... It's something that is supposed to be allowed!"

Lilith: "Because you're Chaldea's Demi-Servant? Because you're the one and only Servant that is contracted to Ritsuka? Are you saying that you wouldn't protect him if all of the above reasons were to be removed?"

Mashu: "There's no way that's true!"

Lilith: "Weren't you supposed to not allow something like that?"

Mashu: "...!"


Ahh. The shield just got even heavier. It's rejecting my answer, my perception. And yet, I am unable to completely adhere to that ideal. It's getting hard to breath. My entire body hurts, as if it's creaking.


Lilith: "This time, it's my win. ...Is this even a win, actually? Well, it doesn't matter. Let's just forget about this Servant-wannabe. But nice, it seems my current self has no issue even against a 1st Ranked angel."

Lilith: "Anyway, you understood with this, didn't you. It's not that you aren't being useful, Kyrielight. Because you actually are. You're able to fight, and you're indeed protecting. However, I have no doubts that you'll become unable to swing that shield at an extremely important moment. And to make things worse, it'll be at a moment where you'll need that shield the most."


I listen to her words with frustration. Lilith is hurting me with malicious intent. However, even so, I still understand that her words are correct. All I can do is close my mouth before her perfectly solid arguments. Like she said, I am not standing at the correct position. This is why the shield keeps getting heavier. Even so... even then... I still keep standing at the edge.


Mashu: "...I'm going to report the results to Master. Are you coming too, Lilith-san?"

Lilith: "Hmm... guess not. Ah, should I hand over the achievement to you?"

Mashu: "...No need."

Lilith: "Is that so. Then, bye."


The shield became heavier, and even rustier. Even so, I will still stand at the edge. Someday, until the day when my arms get severed and I'm unable to hold it anymore... And, I fear that that day isn't very far anymore.


==============


??: "Since when did it start getting heavier?"

Mashu: "...Around the 7th Lostbelt..."

??: "It's because of Tepeu's words, isn't it. You understood that lives aren't equal, You emphasized with it. And the shield is rejecting it."

??: "But, that's just natural. That shield was entrusted to the purest of the heroes, the Knight of the Round Galahad. He is the strongest arbitrator of the Holy Grail War. There are no Grand Servants for the Extra Classes, but if that wasn't the case, then the Heroic Spirit Galahad would definitely be it: The Grand Ruler, Galahad."

??: "Mashu. You are wielding his shield. As such, know that being impartial is your duty.. Love all equally, punish all equally, judge all equally. The scales of the balance are made to weight both sides, but if the balance is already tuned towards one side from the very start, it has no use as a balance."

Mashu: "But!! I! I want to stop being impartial! Because everyone, because Master is... they're the same as me!"

??: "...Perhaps that's true. Both you and those around you who wish for impartiality, they can't ever be truly impartial. Because favoring those close to you as you wish them happiness is a common thing for humans. However, wouldn't that lead all this into one singular conclusion?"

Lilith: "Should you stop being unable to wield your shield, then they, as the good-hearted people they are, will probably think like this: "Mashu Kyrielight cannot fight any longer. As such...we must keep her somewhere safe, away from battle!" They'll treat you very carefully and dearly. With a lot of care. Like a princess, so that nothing may hurt you."

Mash: "-----That's!!"


If it went like that then how nice would it be.


Lilith: "But no can do. You must continue fighting. Even if your arms break down, even if you vomit blood, even if your eyeballs are gouged out, even if your entire body ends up covered in wounds that won't ever heal."


You must continue fighting for the sake of the Human Order.


Lilith: "I mean, isn't that so? You were a life that was meant to be lost from the get-go. That Time Temple was supposed to be your goal, and your happy ending. All that's going on is pretty much your epilogue. Your reason to fight, your incentives, your motivations, leave behind all of those worthless things."

Lilith: "Keep fighting, and fighting, and fighting, on and on and on, and then some more for all eternity, forever and ever. Isn't that a job perfect for you? You already got used to saving the world, after all.


==============


The shield is all rusty now.
