Jin Skyward's Soliloquy
...
"Well, what do you think of that, Jin-kun?" Sirzechs asked me.
"...It's fine. I'm satisfied with what I heard. I mean, Asteri, Grayfia and Serafall also added their own parts to the story. But can I ask you one more thing about a certain part?" I asked him.
"Hmm? Sure, go ahead!"
"Did you... notice a symbol of sorts on those black-robed humans?" I asked him.
"Symbols...? Hmm, not that I could see. Why do you ask? Do you think you might have an idea about it?"
I nodded my head and said, "Yeah, I have an idea. I'll share this with you and the rest of the faction leaders and Gods during the meeting I'll hold soon. It'll give more insight into our enemy, also... I want to back up the future International Rating Game you and Azazel have been planning."
Sirzechs seemed a bit surprised by what I said, but in the end, he started to laugh.
"I shouldn't be surprised that you knew about that, Jin-kun. But... very well, I will wait until this meeting. When are you planning on having it?"
"In a few days, I'll involve all the current factions and pantheons we are in alliance with," I told him. "Anyway, we'll get moving. Sorry about coming here all of a sudden."
"No, no, it's fine. I enjoyed myself. It's not every day we get to talk about the past, Jin-kun," he said almost dismissively.
However, I could tell that he was feeling a bit emotional right now. No, not just Sirzechs, all of them—especially Asteri... those choir boys and girls must have meant a lot to them. But Grayfia was also reminded of her own flesh and blood, her younger brother, Euclid. We may be facing him soon too, we're near the end of events in this world after all.
'My graduation being one of them too... whatever lies beyond that, I'm a bit anxious, but I'm also looking forward to it,' I thought. I looked back at Sirzechs one last time before leaving. "Then, we'll be leaving first, Onii-san, Nee-san," I said to them and teleported away.
The faces I saw on both of them were both surprised and... well, in Sirzechs' case, he became a bit teary-eyed. I couldn't help but laugh. What a troublesome Satan and brother-in-law I have.
