Baal gazed into Xiu Yuan's eyes with a serious expression, as though she meant to see right through him.
It was the first time Xiu Yuan had seen Baal so solemn. In his memory, she had always been gentle and caring.
"What would you do if I told you I wasn't Sasayuri?"
Xiu Yuan had never imagined that anyone could see through him and realize he wasn't the original owner of this body.
He had inherited Sasayuri's memories, and his own habits and most of his ways of doing things weren't all that different from Sasayuri's.
"I want to know your name," Baal said, looking into Xiu Yuan's eyes.
"My name? Why?"
The moment Xiu Yuan asked that question, he had already proven Baal right. He had no intention of keeping up the act, either.
Once someone began to suspect you, they would watch your every move with a piercing gaze, magnifying even the slightest mistake.
"Although you aren't Sasayuri, I know you're a very gentle person."
"Your eyes are the gentlest I've ever seen, and also the greediest."
"Greediest?" Xiu Yuan asked in confusion.
"You want to protect everything. You want the world to remain at peace forever. Isn't that a kind of greed, too?" Baal explained.
"I really... can't hide anything from you..." Xiu Yuan couldn't help but marvel.
Just then, a sudden jolt ran through him as something occurred to him.
Xiu Yuan's eyes widened at once as he looked at the box in his hand and the Gnosis floating above it.
"Lady Baal... you left this here... on purpose, didn't you?" he asked.
"Yes," she admitted.
Only then did Xiu Yuan realize that Baal had long since seen through the disguise he had thought was so convincing.
The true nature he had revealed while saving Yashiori
