Eugene’s face twisted when he heard the word ring. Why would she suddenly bring that up out of the blue? Eugene was just about to let out a curse, but a sudden thought passing through his head caused him to flinch.5

Could it be that memories from her past life, which hadn’t completely been erased and had instead been buried somewhere deep, had suddenly pricked her heart?1

‘A ring?’ Eugene thought.1

He recalled the final moments of the Twilight Witch. Agaroth had given her his ring, his holy relic, and ordered her to flee. However the Twilight Witch had rejected his divine commandment. Instead of accepting the ring, she had returned it and then requested a kiss and expressed her last wish to be able to die at his hands.0

After snapping her neck with his own hands, Agaroth had placed his ring on the Twilight Witch’s chest. Then he had turned his back on her corpse and went to face the Demon King of Destruction.0

What could have happened to the ring after that? The world had been destroyed. A fog followed by a giant wave had engulfed the whole world, leaving only corpses in its wake.1

“Who knows?” Noir said with a shrug.0

It was just as Eugene had guessed. Noir really didn’t have any memories of her past life.2

She didn’t remember Agaroth’s name, the Twilight Witch, or anything at all, really. However, after seeing how Eugene’s divinity had grown stronger and more distinct… her soul had just seemed to react on its own. Even then, her soul hadn’t awoken any clear memories or even the broken fragments of a memor...0
