“Not so long ago, Nix finally noticed my presence. She even called my name too… Although the process wasn’t pretty, it was thanks to you.”

“Because of me?”

“Right. You managed to shake Nix’s mental state. Thanks to that, her memories, which had sank to the bottom, were able to rush to the surface.”

“…”

It was a metaphor that was a bit hard to understand.

Nevertheless, he had a feeling that he shouldn’t brush it aside easily.

Torkunta shared body and mind with Nix. In other words, he had the most objective and accurate grasp on Nix’s condition.

‘Her memories sank…?’

He couldn’t help but wonder if that only applied to Nix.

Or if everyone else was the same.

If it was the latter, he wondered how he could help them recall their sunken memories. Could the method used against Nix work again?

What exactly did he say to Nix that caused it to happen anyway?

“How is Nix now?”

“She’s hibernating. This is only natural considering that she had been on the verge of losing her mind.”

As he spoke Torkunta raised his arms and stretched.

“Mmm-…I really gotta thank you. It’s been a long time since I was allowed to see the outside and I love being able to move around like this. Ahh. It feels so good to move my body. Even if it’s a lowly body without claws, scales, wings, or a tail.”

“You do know that’s Nix’s body, don’t you?”

“Hmph. I know that. In the end, this is only a brief moment of freedom anyway. Nix is the one who is really in control of this body. As soon as she wakes up, I’ll be trapped inside again.”

“You also said that she couldn’t hear your voice either…”

“That was what it was like before, but… she seemed to notice my presence just before she fell unconscious, so things might be different now.”

“I see. That means I might not see you again any time soon.”

Lukas couldn’t help but feel that it was a pity. In this world where everyone had forgotten about Lukas, Torkunta was the only one who remembered him.

He never thought that there would be such a day, where Torkunta became the one who was supporting Lukas’ weakened spirit to an extent.

“Wh-, what are you doing? Stop that.”

However, Torkunta took a large step backwards with a pale blue complexion.

“What do you mean?”

“D-, don’t look at me like that.”

“How am I looking at you?”

“Like a male trying to court a female.”

“…that’s a misunderstanding.”

“I, I reject your courtship! Even if I look like this right now, my mind is still completely male!”

“You’re misunderstanding!”

After brushing off Torkunta’s nonsense, Lukas became lost in thought.

In any case, it was unclear when Torkunta’s mind would disappear into Nix’s subconscious again. But he could still use the limited time when he was in control to find out as much as possible.

“If Nix regains consciousness, will she still be hostile towards me?”

“I’m not sure. But if that does happen then you definitely won’t survive. Nix’s mind has fully stabilised now. So her power won’t be unstable like what you faced before.”

Lukas completely agreed.

From now on, if Nix wanted to, then all of the people in this cave, Lukas, Peran, and the Swordnaz, would be burned to ashes in the blink of an eye.

‘What should I do?’

Since Torkunta was in control now, he could send him as far away from them as possible. If he were to ask him to do so, Torkunta would probably agree without much fuss. But Lukas didn’t want to let go of his only clue source.

“By the way.”

Torkunta opened his mouth as if he was just talking in passing.

“There are other people who remember you other than me.”

“What did you… cough!”

Lukas coughed heavily.

Dammit. His body was in a really bad condition. He couldn’t believe that he was in so much pain just because his heart began to beat a bit faster.

“Are you okay?”

“…I’m alright, keep talking. Are there really others that remember me?”

“Maybe.”

“Who?”

0

“I don’t know.”

“…”

Lukas almost cursed at that moment.

When he turned to glare at Torkunta, he was met with a dazzling smile.

“This is revenge for earlier. How do you like it?”

Earlier? Was he talking about the courtship eyes that he mentioned before?

“I told you that was a misunderstanding.”

“I didn’t misunderstand that look in your eyes.”

“…”

“…In any case. I wasn’t joking when I said I don’t know. All I know is that it was a woman. I don’t know anything more than that.”

An unknown ‘woman’?

“Right. It was few years ago, before Nix went completely mad. A woman came up the mountain and asked her, `Do you remember Lukas Trowman’?”

“…”

“Of course, Nix had already completely forgotten your existence, so she sent her away.”

The first person that came to Lukas’ mind was Iris, but he knew it couldn’t be her.

She hadn’t remembered Lukas’ existence even when he met her face to face, much less to mention his name to others.

Then who else could it be?

Someone who still remembered Lukas Trowman…

“What did she look like?”

“I don’t know. I was still locked away at that time, so I couldn’t see anything. At best, all I could hear was her voice. That’s how I knew it was a woman in the first place.”

This was becoming more and more mysterious.

Then, all of a sudden, the image of a person appeared in Lukas’ mind.

(TL: Brownie points for anyone who can guess who the mysterious woman is.)
