Listening to Noel's words, I could only close my eyes.
'Don't lose sight of the goal...'
At this point, I wasn't even sure about what the goal was. What was the goal? What was I working so hard for? Originally, I had been pushing myself to the limits because I wanted to get back to Noel.
But now that he was here, what was my actual goal?
Was it to make those who wronged him pay? Was it to defeat the Outer Beings? Was it to survive? To become the eighth god? What... exactly was my goal?
I... felt somewhat lost.
Even worse, Noel was now telling me that he was going to leave and that I was going to take over the Evenus Household?
"...Sometimes change is good, but it can also be fatal. You've grown a lot softer, brother."
Noel's words whispered into the air as he stood in front of me.
"What we're fighting for is our freedom."
Slowly turning his attention back to me, Noel's eyes met mine.
