Walking in another world – Chapter 349 – Descent – Part five (Mia’s point of view)

What am I seeing?

I know. There is a battle going on in front of me.

I… No, the goddess that took over my body is fighting.

I’m just watching, and hearing them talk like they aren’t talking about me.

I see… I understand why Adonis tried to kill me. I exist to kill the demon king, to kill Eris.

I also understand why they didn’t try to harm me when I came here, even though Adonis tried to kill me before.

The demon called Ou told me that I need to be alive for them to kill the goddess.

I feel like my body has become duller, but that isn’t stopping the goddess.

Actually, I get the feeling that she’s having fun. It feels like she’s upset, but deep down, she’s enjoying herself.

And then, Hikari lunges this way in anger.

“Doll…”

The goddess swings her arm, and Hikari is flung away very fast and bounces on the ground.

She stops when she hits a wall, but is she all right? She’s not moving.

I’m trying to scream, but my voice doesn’t come out.

What should I do… All I am is my consciousness now, so there’s nothing I can do. I’m just being forced to see what’s happening in front of me.

Eventually, the goddess starts coercing Sora to kill Eris, using Chris as a hostage.

That makes me angry, but I’m a little, just a little happy that Sora is fighting to save me. I know it’s selfish, but I really am happy.

But at the same time, I don’t want him to fight for the goddess.

I like Chris. Honestly, I didn’t really know how to talk to her at first, and there are times when I’m jealous too. When Sora talks about Chris and Rurika, it sounds like they had a lot of fun, and like he trusts them and thanks them from the bottom of his heart.

I can’t help but envy that. But at the same time, the more time we spend together, the more I like them too.

There’s also the fact that Chris and I like the same person.

Sometimes she approaches Sora in a loving way, but she never takes that last step.

She wanted to focus on the person she was looking for, Eris. I always admired that strong will.

I… Just let fate take me where it wants, and keep relying on Sora.

We’ve explored a dungeon together, traveled together, and I continued to be a slave, all because I just wanted to stay with him.

That’s why I was happy when he told me that freeing me as a slave in the Dragon Kingdom didn’t mean that we had to say goodbye.

And now, Chris is a hostage, and the goddess is trying to take away someone important to her. We can’t let that happen, so please…

Kill me. If you kill me right now, that might kill the goddess too.

After all, Sora has a tool for that exact purpose.

But my wish doesn’t reach Sora, and he keeps fighting the demons.

And Sora actually manages to slip past them, and tries to attack Eris, but Sera blocks him just in time.

I’m relieved. Chris would be very sad if Sora hurt Eris, and I’m sure Sora himself would regret it too.

For a moment, I wonder how Sora would feel if he killed me, but then I remember that he’s the whole reason why I’m still alive anyway. And if ending my life also ends the sad history we saw in the ruins, I think it would be worth it.

Of course, I wish I could stay with Sora, but I understand. Even if Eris is killed and the goddess leaves my body, that won’t save me.

That’s just how strange my body feels right now.

I don’t know why exactly, but I just know. I just know that’s the fate of people possessed by the goddess.

But then, suddenly, there’s a change. I can see it in Sora’s eyes.

It’s a subtle change, but I can see it.

Up until now, it felt like he was wavering, but now he’s determined.

Sora was pretending to be the demons’ enemy, but in the end, he’s fighting with them to kill the goddess.

That dagger in his hand is the weapon to kill the goddess.

That same dagger heads straight to me and stabs me. Just before it does, I feel thankful.

I’m glad that this will end everything. This will save a lot of people.

The moment the dagger stabs me, I hear a scream echoing in my mind. It’s the goddess. And at the same time, I feel her flying from my body.

But that’s the last thing I feel. It’s like time has stopped, and I can’t think anything anymore.
