Joy : Mama.

Nana flips the newspaper " where's the ad ? Tedine said he posted an ad . "

Joy sat down next to her " I read the book. It's a more complete research than ours "

Nana closes the news " should I just kill instead ? Like once a day. I don't need to be a god to do that."

Joy ; please don't create attention. Why did you research that ?

Nana : I was a long lifer in a human shell, as a human. My core not returned to me... My essence was closer to a human than a god... That meant... I couldn't hold on every memory

Joy ; you wanted to hold on to every memory . We have memory bubbles.

Nana : that's like reading a book where you're in it. I didn't want to forget my first izuya as a human. Nor forget... The times my Shadow Demon was there. Even if I knew Yui is Izuya is Shadow Demon... I was afraid. I wouldn't remember.... How much I loved him.

Joy : but Yui never knew.

Nana : it's my secret project. I was afraid , what if he forgot as well ? I thought him a human like me then.

Joy : it's not like you to give up on this research

Nana ; It's just not possible with human methods. We could always create new ones where I knew I would still always love him.

Joy : you delay Yui, because you knew if you told him the truth... He will instead put all his efforts into stopping what's critical of what's to come. That's why you killed me. Took me back. *Smiled* You think I'm trouble.

Nana : ..... It hurt ?

Joy ; I'm ok. So... Are you really angry ?

Nana ; ..... I don't know ... But I know he's getting serious.... He tried to kill me ...

Joy ; he knew you couldn't die.

Nana : so suffering alive is better than death ?

Joy ; mama. You know he wouldn't do that.

Nana : do I ? He tried to keep me in my prison.

Joy ; you wouldn't suffer there.

Nana : I don't know anymore...

Joy ; Eldrin's troop are about to leave soon. Are you going to do anything?

Nana ; fighting is not my thing.

Joy : but you promised to make them win right ?

Then she starts to cough black blood and she curled up in pain. Her whole body felt intense pain in that moment.

Joy ; mama !!

Nana ; it's... Ok...

" Miss !!" Ruin comes in " you're coughing black blood !! What did you do ?!!"

Joy ; it's not me. This only happens when... A Trade god tries to break her part of her deal. A punishment.

She starts to breathe a bit normally "heh... No one can cheat a magic contract. Rules are rules. Even more so for me. " She smiled a little.

Joy wipes the blood off her mouth " so there is something you should do but you don't want to do ?"

Nana ; and haven't do.

Joy sighed.

Nana: tedine sure told everything to you quickly.

Joy ; what is it ? You need to do.
