Suddenly.
Everything before him was an illusion.
"Thank you?"
"It's me who should be thanking."
Jason whispered to himself.
Jason knew the reason for everything before him.
Happiness, because he had been appointed as 'Knight'.
Gratitude, also because he had been appointed 'Knight'.
It was a joy after inheriting a will.
It was gratitude for having successors to that will.
"Ah, this cold, dark yet warm and radiant world."
Jason mused.
He stood up and headed towards the basement.
"Jason?"
Taniel, who had been sitting in the little hall, clearly noticed the odd mood of his friend Jason.
"It's nothing."
"Taniel, do you think with such an obvious 'bait' thrown out, will that guy come?"
Jason asked as he walked down.
That guy?
'Shepherd'!
Taniel instantly guessed who it was from his friend's hateful tone.
"Let him come!"
"I'll make him regret being alive!"
Taniel said instinctively, his voice full of malice.
