“Sandra!”
Confirming that Lyra, who was rolling on the floor, was incapacitated, I rushed over to Sandra.
“Lord Hal!”
“Haha! As expected of Sandra!”
“Yes! Just as you asked me to!”
I picked up her small body and spun her around.
That’s right… Before the battle with Lyra, I asked her.
‘Don’t participate in the battle, and when I give you the signal at the right time, I want you to cut off Lyra the Mana Doll’s arms and legs to incapacitate her.’
Why did I make such a request? Of course, to save Lyra.
Even if ‘EnHaza’ only has endings where she is destroyed by the protagonist and loses her life, it’s already been proven that her fate can be changed depending on how you do things.
Just like how I changed Sandra’s fate.
Besides, I guess ‘EnHaza’ made it so that Lyra’s ego would return at the very end as part of the production, but how could I accept that?
As long as I’m here as Harold in this world, I will absolutely not allow anything other than a happy ending.
However, if Lyra was in a healthy state, Sandra might not have been able to hold back.
So, we reduced Lyra’s combat power, and I was always waiting for her to regain her ego.
“Now… Lyra, can you hear my voice?”
“…………………”
Although she didn’t speak, Lyra looked at me and nodded slightly.
Yeah, she’s still properly regained her ego.
“Sadly, you can no longer live except as a Mana Doll… No, you can’t return to being human.”
“””’!?”
“…………………”
Everyone except Sandra, Monica, and Christia widened their eyes at my words.
As I thought, everyone didn’t even think that she was originally human.
“Also, even if you could continue to live as a Mana Doll, we can’t leave you, who is dangerous, on the loose. So…”
I winked at Sandra, and she put the tip of ‘Balmung’ against Lyra’s slender neck.
“I want you to choose. Whether to end your life here as Lyra the Mana Doll. Or… to live as my tool.”
It’s a bit of a harsh way to put it, but she’s no longer human, and she’s treated as an item in ‘EnHaza’. I thought it would be different to treat her as the same human being.
If so, I intend to treat her as a tool… an item, with care.
However, only if Lyra wants to live that way.
If not, we can’t leave her, who is dangerous, on the loose, so she has no choice but to rot here.
“What do you say?”
“…………………”
The noise from the battle until just now is like a lie, and this floor on the top floor of the Magic Tower is enveloped in silence.
And then.
“…I look forward to working with you. Master.”
“! Ah, I look forward to it too!”
She… Lyra, chose the path to become my tool.
◇
“Lord Hal, what do you intend to do with this person?”
“Mugu…!”
While dragging McLaren, who was restrained and gagged, Christia asked.
I asked her to use Healing Magic to treat this guy, who was on the verge of death after being attacked by Lyra.
Of course, in order to repair Lyra and release the command program.
“It’s not my place to say, but such trash is not needed in this world. God will surely approve of it.”
“Lady Saint is right! If you’re going to end it, leave that role to me!”
“That’s right! This guy is an enemy of humanity!”
Christia, who is unusually harsh, and Carla and Lloyd, who are indignant.
In the Barthian Holy Kingdom, the doctrine is ‘to be human’, so it’s even more so, including inhumane acts.
What this guy did was human experimentation.
“Now… McLaren. There’s only one thing you have to do. Immediately release the command you gave to Lyra, ‘Eliminate all enemies of the Magic Tower,’ and repair the body that was damaged by the battle with us.”
“!? Fugo… Fugogo…?”
“I can’t understand what you’re saying because your mouth is covered. Okay? I’m giving you an order, just like you did to Lyra.”
I tell McLaren in a voice so low that I surprise myself.
I kept him alive just for that. If he can’t, I’ll show him hell to the extent that he doesn’t die, until he begs me to ‘let him die’.
“Answer quickly. Die right now, or repair Lyra.”
“!? Fugo! Fugo!”
He must have realized that my words were nothing more than a threat.
McLaren shook his head desperately, as if begging for his life.
“Then hurry up. I’m telling you, don’t think you can teleport away just because I released you. Don’t forget that Sandra is always touching your body.”
“Uu… Uu…”
With her crimson eyes shining, Sandra smiles with the tip of ‘Balmung’ aimed at McLaren’s heart.
Of course, because she is holding onto McLaren’s clothes, even if he teleports, he will only take Sandra with him.
At that moment, Sandra’s attack will stop this man’s breath.
“Now.”
“Uuuuuuuuuu…”
McLaren sobbed and desperately repaired Lyra.
With all his heart, just wanting to be saved.
