Amakusa smiled at that kind of response, but she couldn't see it since she was still behind him. Still, just knowing those complications- and she still wanted them to be together, he couldn't help but feel happy from such a thing. Maybe one of the witches could also grant her longer life, he might have to beg- and maybe even make a deal with lady Lambdadelta, but it was worth a shot. She was more likely to help them out than Bern anyways, he knew that Lambda wasn't as cruel as she talked about.

"...Me neither..." he said it more so to himself than anything, and he was referring to the fact that he had no regrets. He had cared for her since she was young, and finally being together was something he never imagined. He continued to climb, and he wasn't tired in the slightest- his demonic strength and endurance really was something to be admired.

"For a long time you were the only one I cared about lady, even now- I'm determined to get through this trial because I just want to be with you..." ah, Battler must have rubbed off on him, he was sounding as sappy as him.
