The first 200 lines.
Having navigated the precipice between life and death,
Fushi acquired a new ability during his escape from the brink.
Justice has prevailed!
The Church of Bennett is victorious!
I have to adhere to the rightful procedure of the trial and leave on my own.
Woven into those words was the decision to part ways forever.
Beyond Dreams
Cylira-sama!
Cylira-sama!
Cylira-sama!
Please, wake up!
What happened here?
No!
The demon was too late.
We win.
Bon is dead?
Your Highness...
Prince Bon.
Am I dead?
Yes.
Prince Bon is dead.
I see.
So where am I, then?
You're in Uralis.
Thank goodness, Bon.
Fushi.
Todo and the boy are safe, too.
I took them somewhere out of sight.
I'll bring you some new clothes. Hang on.
Wait. You can see me?
But I'm dead!
What are you talking about?
The old you is dead, but you are alive right now.
Daddy! Mommy!
Why are you crying?
Because it's your funeral.
No one knows what happened to you yet.
What "happened" to me?!
I died!
Shh!
Don't raise your voice!
People will notice.
I get it now!
It's what that Yanome said a while ago!
The dead can do what they want!
Which means... this world is the world that reflects my desires!
I've heard that story a few times, too.
But if it were true, you'd be king by now, wouldn't you?
Wait here.
Brother!
Brobro!
Bon!
Everyone...
Fushi!
What have you gone and done?!
When you said you were going to stay in the cage, I believed you.
But that wasn't a good enough reason to leave you behind.
I tried to come up with a plan, but I'm not smart enough to do anything clever.
That's when...
Do you think there might be any hints in Tonari's journal?
Any knowledge that could be useful in these kinds of situations?
When we read through it carefully, there was information
on various poisons and medicines scattered throughout the text.
It's done.
Her most powerful sleeping drug.
It tasted absolutely awful.
So it was easy for me to recreate it.
After that, I just had to become Ligard and spread it around.
I just barely made it in time.
And then I made your corpse and set it up to look like you'd died.
This was the only way I could bring you here.
Will you forgive me, Bon?
Forgive you? For what?
Maybe there was a better way.
Everyone thinks you're dead right now.
So many people are sad because of it.
No way, Fushi.
For me, at least, this is the happiest outcome—
even more than becoming king.
More than becoming king?
Yeah.
I'm not dreaming, am I?
I've never been so glad not to be king.
Thanks for saving me, Fushi.
Saving you?
I did that?
That's right.
You look quite nice, Bon.
Yes. I like it.
It suits you well.
You won't be part of our family anymore.
We'll miss you, but you might as well enjoy it.
Thanks, Mommy.
You look fresh and clean.
Do you think they'll know it's me?
No.
But I think you should do something about your strut.
Oh.
You haven't seen Todo-san and the others yet, have you?
They've been drawing some unwanted attention. Please be careful.
What are you going to do now?
The Church of Bennett has many followers.
Now that you've been declared a heretic,
we Guardians can't engage openly in our activities.
We have no choice but to disband.
The girl on the left's definitely my type.
I'll take the one in the middle, then.
But they're both so cute!
It's so hard to decide.
I'd have to say Pocoa-sama for me.
The secret to a successful diet is to not eat anything.
Yup.
That would just make me miserable.
So have you chosen a name for your horsie?
The horse?
I don't know if I should be the one to choose.
Of course.
It was given to you, after all.
What should I call it?
How about if you named it after something you like?
Biscuit!
Hold it.
That's as far as you go.
Say...
You look familiar.
I can smell it.
It's just your imagination.
How about Peach Tea?
I want a cooler name.
Brobro!
...'s friend, I mean.
Is he an acquaintance?
Yes. He's Brobro's friend, uh...
Spring Roll!
Baron Spring Roll!
Oh, I see!
No wonder you have such a noble scent.
Let me introduce you.
This is Baron Spring Roll.
Nice to meet you.
Nuts. Spring Roll was my idea!
This is Iris and Joaan.
Chabo... That boy went to explore the kitchen.
Please go say hi to him.
Got it.
Could you show me that thing?
You know, the one you were making with string.
What's this?
I don't know what you're talking about.
Oh, you mean the handkerchief?
You bought string, right?
Wait, was I supposed to mention that?
Here. Please keep it.
Wow!
You're so talented.
How did you make it?
Teach me next time!
Yeah...
It's well made.
Oh, yeah, do you have that other one?
The one I've always had on me.
Right, that one.
I've been holding on to it.
Yeah...
You're talented.
Th-Thank you.
Where're you going?
I need a break.
Want some more, kid?
Yeah.
Mister.
Eat this. You'll feel better.
Chabo... You're so kind.
I'll eat it when I feel better.
Weird.
Baron Spring Roll.
This is Prince Bon's room. You shouldn't use it.
I would have allowed it if I were Prince Bon.
So it's fine.
What do you want, Fushi?
I mean, er, Joaan.
U-Um...
Have I imposed in some way?
May I ask you a question?
Yes.
We met as kids, didn't we?
Yes...
Why were you here?
To help my father.
He was a tailor, though, so he was promptly fired.
Fired?
Yes.
There was a rule that a girl from outside mustn't talk to the prince.
The queen caught wind of a rumor that I'd seduced him.
And then you gave me this.
How did you sneak in?
I looked up routes that would be out of sight of the guards.
And then I scaled the walls and snuck in.
And then...
you gained weight, right?
