After quite a long discussion, everyone finally decided to leave the decision to Erina, who would she raise in the sixth level.
When all will continue the journey, Mr. Uwo stated that he was no longer able to walk, his legs have not functioned.
Erina of course did not take it for granted, but despite trying, lifting a three-meter-high genduruwo that could weigh tons - tons was in vain.
With a heavy heart Erina had to leave one more companion behind. But he also began to feel desperate, like just wanting to quickly solve everything and wake up as if everything had never happened.
A few minutes later, they arrived at the sixth floor.
An empty floor, containing only a podium and a person wearing a robe stood behind the podium.
"Hey, that cloaked person doesn't seem familiar" Succubus said.
"Yes of course, it's me!", the mysterious man opened his cloak.
"So your job is double?".
"Not really, my real duty here, but I'm guiding you it's my side's desire".
"Huh!?", Succubus, Erina, and Damien were shocked.
"Yaaa, you're very lucky to have a guide like me, because you're a very special group. Usually it's just idiots who are power-hungry, making me sick, I don't care about them. But you are so different".
"Despite having a guide, we still lost a lot of personnel".
"Right, that's unfortunate. But don't be sad.because..."
"Because what?"
"Ah wait, I haven't even introduced myself yet.introduce my name Ramiel, actually I used to be an Archangel, just because one thing or another I'm here".
"Did you get a leak about our arrival?".
"Surely, I still have connections. Ah I must continue, because you have fought so hard, not only blood and tears, lives were drained, but now you can meet again with your beloved colleagues".
Succubus went straight to the podium, "How much!? how many people rations?".
"Good question".
Ramiel is seen putting his hand in his pocket and picking up something.
Something small.
It was a dice.
"Through this thing, the determination" Ramiel said as he lifted the small dark purple dice.
"This floor has been blessed and given the power of the ruler of the afterlife, therefore, even all beings who are lifeless can come back to life".
"Is it different from the resurrection of Samael downstairs?", asked Damien.
"Certainly very different, Samael was resurrected using black power, which must take its toll, while here the opposite".
"I see" Damien turned his head and saw Erina's face.
His gaze was empty, He was silent like a person who had lost consciousness.
Ramiel approached Erina and looked at her, "Pity Erina, she has to face such a fate, but she is just a girl who wants to live a normal life".
"What..if this is all done he can get his wish to be a commoner?", asked Succubus.
Ramiel nodded.
"Before someone is born. A line of destiny that awaits, who will take it. After all the events of the past by the predecessors, complemented also the complexity of space and time, all finally united into a bond of destiny to carry someone for the rest of his life".
"Don't destiny change?" ask Leiva.
"It can, but what changes is only the outer slab, not the point. So, guessing like this, one can use various ways to get from A to B, and anything can happen in the middle of the journey, but the destiny is to get to B, B, whatever happens in the middle, can change".
All speechless.
"Well, there's no need to linger long, I'll give you this determination". Ramiel opened Erina's palm and placed the dice inside.
Erina who was pensive, looked at her palm which contained small dice.
"Everything that happens here, isn't this mortal?", Erina began to ask.
"The life of the world is mortal".
"But this is not on earth, nor is it in the afterlife, it is not mortality, nor is it immortality, right?"
"Yes right, it's in the middle. Scientifically speaking, this is just an alternate timeline and dimension".
"But what is happening here can have a real impact on a person's physical, mental, even psychological well-being?".
Ramiel nodded.
"If I just assumed this was all a dream, what would happen?".
"If I don't wake up?"
"That means you're not in the mortal realm anymore".
"All right, enough questions".
"OK, now you can throw the dice on this podium table" Ramiel said, pointing to the podium.
Clara patted Erina on the shoulder to encourage her.
Undying for a long time, Erina immediately raised her hand high, then let go of her chest until it fell and turned on the podium table.
Damien, Succubus, Clara, and Leiva approached with enthusiasm.
The dice rotated longer than expected.
And falling with the point one facing up, everyone became a witness.
"One person, only one person will get the right to live here" Ramiel said.
Erina was silent, all her friends were staring at her, feeling the same tension as if the entire burden and responsibility had to be borne alone.
"Please choose from the following names, which mean the most in your life",
1. Lily Everglade - Mother
2. Asmodeus Claidheamh - Lover
3. Alexei Stanislav - Father's brother
4. Leviathan Ver Havet - Friend
5. Behemoth Krigselefant - Friends
6. Varlodio Corvulus - Partner
7. Goddess Asmarani - Partner
8. Emilia Windburg - Partner
"And you only have one minute".
Erina began to stare at the list of names with a blank look and thought nothing of it.
Succubus whispered to Damien, "Who do you think?".
"If not Lily or Asmo.."
"Hmm.I also suspect like that, they are the most influential in Erina's life".
Clara and Leiva just fell silent waiting, looking at Erina who might look resigned.
A minute passed.
"Yeah it's time! who did you choose?", asked Ramiel.
Erina looked at Ramiel.
Ramiel felt it was a gaze filled with despair.
"I chose......"
Everyone there is tense.
"Not to raise anyone".
All choked.
"A..what?! why is that?", asked Clara and Succubus in confusion.
"Erina definitely has her own considerations" Damien said.
Ramiel rubbed his hands together with a smile, "You are always interesting, Miss Erina Muriella".
Ramiel then used the lever on the podium, and opened the large door behind him.
"With this I'm willing to let everything go to the seventh floor, the last floor in the power tower".
Clara, Succubus, and Leiva accompanied Erina slowly, Damien walking in front.
They climbed up the stairs and headed for the giant door that opened by itself.
"Is Brother Erina okay?", asked the worried Leiva.
Erina simply smiled at Leiva, a smile that made her look even more alarming.
