Chapter 145: 15-year-old Inglis and Hyrule Menaces’ Escorting Directive (53)
「——! Oi stop it, Ripple! It’s too soon to give up, you know!? Besides, he’s still young!」
Leon noticed the light emanating from Ripple’s body and impatiently stopped her.
「I-, I can’t! It’s not by my will! I’m being dragged by him!」
This was the first experience even for Ripple. For Hyrule Menaces to turn into a weapon, the unification of will between them and their user, the Holy Knights, was essential. There was the need to first unite their hearts into one. Therefore, if Ripple didn’t want it, the weaponization shouldn’t happen——or so everyone thought.
So, how could this happen?
Was it because Silva was still ignorant, and thus he could genuinely wish for Ripple’s strength?
Was it because Silva respected Ripple so deeply, and Ripple found his admiration delightful, and thus the distance between their hearts was shortened?
Was it because, deep down, Ripple wished to liberate her father who had become a Prisma as soon as possible?
Perhaps, it was due to a combination of many things at once that pulled Ripple by Silva’s will.
