"Ira?"

Y-yes?!" The elemental excitedly jolted,her eyes sparkling.

"Can you give your left hand?"

"Sure..." Ira shyly extends her hand.

I took out the azure ring and randomly put it on one of her delicate and pale fingers.

"I-is this for me?" Ira asked as she watched the ring shining on her finger.

"Yup!Happy?Is it worthy enough for you?"

"Yes!I'll tresure it for life!...Never taking it off...forever stuck on this very finger...like the two of us together forever...ehehehe..."

Isn't it good?Ha-hahah...Let's pretend I didn't hear the last part.That was so creepy...

As long as they are happy...

[Find the room of the trial of the three remaining Virtues and the last three Sins.And pass it.]

If I'm not mistaken the next ones are lust,charity,chastity,greed,gluttony and temperance.But why all together all of a sudden...Ah maybe...yes maybe it's because...well you'll know it that during the trial.

This time it seems the princess and her party were able to quickly deal with the monsters since not after ten minutes I passed the trial they were able to reach this floor.That's good,the princess is working so hard for us.

...

"Hey!You!I don't how many you are, but stop this and reveal yourselves! I am not stupid I know you are the one who pushed the monsters to us!"

"P-princess,there's really someone behind the monsters' assault?"

"Are doubting me soldier?Don't you feel too that someone is-wait are you hearing it?"

*Thump**Thump**Thump*

"A-are finally revealing themselves?"

"That sound...It feels familiar..."

"M-monsters!""They're here again!""S-such thing!""Sebastian...Alfred...don't worry,I'll tell your wives that you loved each other...""Agh!"...

Well...it was bound that she was able to understand that something was suspicious...

Oh,well...they're busy now,maybe we'll see each other in the next floor.

"Velena,Ira.It's time for plunder and trials!"

[[[[[[Giving things to the point of goodness, instead to hold the things for yourself give it to those in need and lastly being recognized as the purest of all.Taking things to the point of obsession, instead of wasting them by giving them away,why not desire for more?Lastly being recognized as the foulest of all.We three of Virtues.And we three of Sins,each group share the same thing.The world is beautiful so why not make it better?The world is so ruthless,why care for others but me?You candidate,near to the end of these trials.What is 'this' world for you?]]]]]]

A priestess wearing a white robe representing Charity and a fox laying a top her head representing Greed.

A man devoid of his limbs representing Temprance and a standing pig representing Gluttony.

Lastly a pair of twins,one wearing heavy clothes while the other wearing none.Representing Chastity and Lust.

All the six of them were around me.Waiting for my response.

How is 'this' world for me?Is it certainty beautiful.It is obviously ruthless.But for me is...

"This world is a cage.From the moment I was born to the present, the only thing I did all this time was to destroy a cage and find myself in a bigger cage.Each time the cage became more beautiful and comfortable but ruthless and complicated as well.I wondered,the moment 'you' appeared years ago.Are you finally destroying this cage or hinting that there's even bigger cages than this?More gorgeous,more magnificent and trickier and more complex."

[[[[[[...]]]]]]

"That's right.No matter how comfortable,how happy,how little,how big,how cold,how sad...this world in the end is another cage and within this big cage there are smaller cages."

"My answer is,a cage.For me this world is a cage.And as a cage,I ought to escape from it."

[Is this truly your answer?]The priestess asked with a soft smile on her face.

"Yes"

[Your answers from the start to here will be ,in the final one, be registered.Are you not changing your mind?]The fox squinting its eyes,asked.

"That's right"

[You'll be forever bound to the result,is this acceptable?]The man asked.

"Umu"

[Are you taking to heart all the things you said]The pigman asked while grunting.

"Yep!"

[[Then are you ready to walk in this path?Full of joys and pain?]]The twins smiled,one innocently and the other lustfully at each other.

"Ready"

[[[[[[Then you are ready to confront yourself in the last one]]]]]]
