The problem of waking up Tsubaki was solved.
Ciel also noticed another problem.
That was the Kuruoka couple, the root cause of Tsubaki's current state. As long as these two were still alive, Tsubaki's happiness would not come.
Therefore, this matter must be resolved.
"The Kuruoka couple… they…"
Ciel looked around in confusion.
Apart from the pool of blood on the ground, she didn't see anything that could be called the Kuruoka couple's whereabouts.
"If you're asking where they went, then I can only say that I also applied soul materialization to them.
However, it's a bit different from Tsubaki's. I need their souls as materials to be put into magic… In a way, you can also think of them as dead. Killed by me."
Moran said in a calm tone.
No surprises, no joy.
He was just telling the story in the tone of a magus, using two human lives as materials for magic.
But Ciel didn't believe it.
Moran was only doing this for magic, he was never someone with the demeanor of a magus.
"Liar… I believe you killed them, Moran, but it definitely wasn't for magic, right?"
"Hehe, I can't hide it from you… I'll do the bad things, you are to be the light for that child. As the light that pulls her out of the abyss, how can you be stained with gloom?
Let me reluctantly play the role of the bad guy. If these two who pursue the path of magecraft were to live, she could never be happy. So, I made a decision… Ciel, you understand, right?"
Moran's gaze towards Ciel was meaningful.
This was a fait accompli.
But it was also a very gentle approach.
His words were equivalent to telling Ciel and Tsubaki to just resent him, and not to suffer in hesitation.
If it could make the person he loved happy,
then bearing some resentment was no big deal.
"Actually… I could have done it, you didn't have to. I don't expect to be thanked by this child. As long as she can be saved, that's enough for me."
The female assassin spoke at this time.
However, her gaze towards Moran softened a lot.
She obviously didn't expect a king like Moran to make such a decision. It was completely different from a certain golden glitter.
He decided to bear it himself because he didn't want the woman he loved to be entangled in pain.
The Kuruoka couple were the source of Tsubaki Kuruoka's pain.
It was an error that had to be corrected.
"Oh dear, I didn't think of that… But, I'm used to not letting women do things like this.
Forgive my rudeness, it's not that I have any prejudice or anything, it's just that I prefer to bear these things myself rather than push them onto women. Isn't that what men are all about? "
Moran said with a chuckle.
He really hadn't thought of the female assassin.
Whether it was in Britain in the past, or in Greece, he had always planned to take it all on himself.
This may be some kind of heroic sentiment.
It may also be a boring machismo, or some rather superfluous male self-esteem.
But he just didn't like letting women take the hit.
Especially in these matters related to him.
What kind of man would do such a thing?
So, he naturally ignored the female assassin.
He directly issued the verdict himself.
In terms of identity, the female assassin was indeed more suitable to punish the Kuruoka couple, but he still didn't let her do it.
He still chose to bear this evil himself.
What kind of emotions and deep meaning are contained behind this, it is up to the person involved to experience it for themselves.
"…You, are really gentle."
"Me? Gentle? Shouldn't I be a tyrannical ruler who disregards human life? You still say I'm gentle… I can't afford that."
"Hehe, you're not like what you say."
The female assassin said with certainty.
Her gaze was fixed on Moran, and a touch of joy was conveyed in the depths of that gaze.
Still, as always, without explanation…
Quite in line with the identity of a fanatic.
–Whether you are describing your own appearance, the truth I see in my eyes is what I believe.
Rather than an assassin, Moran would rather call her a berserker.
"Forget it, whatever you say."
Moran smiled helplessly and accepted the evaluation.
He thought he was just doing what he should do.
He once saved Ciel.
This time, when it was Ciel's turn to save others, he was moved and reached out his hand again.
The false world is collapsing.
Moran also began to use the Third Magic: Soul Materialization.
He gathered the previously extracted souls of the Kuruoka couple, as well as Tsubaki's soul, into his hands and began to manipulate them.
During this materialization of souls, he would perform a small operation.
As a master of the field of spirit evocation, facing his own soul domain, he attempted to adjust the soul information of the Kuruoka couple, excising a portion of it.
Of course, Moran would not implant mental manipulation into the Kuruoka couple, as that approach would only bring false love to Tsubaki.
He would not condone such a method.
In Moran's view, that kind of method was too low-level.
Tsubaki suffered from the Kuruoka couple's magus mindset, which caused her to stumble and get hurt time and time again.
Therefore, Moran sought a complete cure.
Only the weak would choose to solve superficial problems; the strong always pursue the most perfect ending.
Otherwise, how could he be called a magician?
A magician only offers miracles.
"Hmm, let's do it that way… like a gentle and plain dream as soft as cotton candy. I will grant you a world unrelated to mystery. The color of this answer sheet, whether it's a nightmare or a beautiful dream, will be painted by you and them together, and you will begin this story…"
Moran still wore a gentle smile.
Even though he didn't want to admit it, he still unintentionally did it that way.
Like Merlin sought, he also loved perfect endings and loved to applaud them.
