One paragraph, that's it.

"-Yeah."

What do you think? Are you all right?

"...... Yes"

A welcoming guest house.

The rain had already stopped.

All you can hear is the sound of raindrops dripping from the shelter.

The castle had finally regained its fair share of tranquility.

The time was at night.

Now, Cyrus and I were talking side by side on the wall in the hallway.

Munin went to the bath earlier after the post-processing had passed.

Sulei was treated and rested in a simple stables.

Hawk's body has already been transported.

Mira's men are still being held up by the raid.

It is said that Hawk's formal scolding will be done at a later date.

And --- Shogo Oyamada's body didn't exist.

Already treated with [Freeze].

There's not even a body left.

Shogo Oyamada has disappeared from this world.

I hadn't met the Mad Emperor directly since I came back.

Even the shallots.

They're over there, and they're probably still busy.

I heard that a man called the Exile Emperor had invaded the Emperor.

Yes, they defeated it.

By the time I thought about going, it was already over.

... it looks like one of the shallow shallows is chewing on our victory.

Examples: the hands in the back.

Asked the customer, she seems to have used it.

There seemed to be quite a few witnesses.

We should explore more later.

Also, the white army that was coming to the Imperial City.

It is said to have dissolved in response to the death of the Exile Emperor.

The rain washed away the remaining white body fluids and nothing remained.

The Mad Mei Emperor,

"Isn't it the creature created by the Exile Emperor, just like the Great Demon Emperor created the Golden Eye monster?"

That's what they're deducing.

Well, in the case of the Great Demon Emperor, it seemed that the golden-eyed monsters that he had created would remain even if he died.

Anyway, it seems that the attack on the Imperial Capital that was aimed at killing the Mad Emperor was surpassed for the time being.

"Yes... at least, perhaps the first team"

By the way, General Lehite's army is stationed near the northern border of Mira.

They're still there, without pulling.

It was said that it was still in contact with the Knights of the White Wolf.

But.

If the Imperial Capital raid fails, the enemy will retreat eventually.

The movement of the White Wolf Knights.

It would be reasonable to assume that it was linked to the Exile Emperor and the Sword Tiger Corps.

Either way.....

Vissis may be pretending to be something unexpected, too.

I can't deny such an impression on this move.

I wonder if the stuffing is sweet.

"But... I knew about the Sword Tiger Corps and Oyamada, but where did the Exile Emperor come from?" If there is a second formation and unexpected battle force is injected again, it will be troublesome. "

"However, the Exile Emperor and the white army he created...... I still think it is reasonable to think that there is some reason not to use it until now, according to Toka-sama's guess." I don't think we can put it that easily. ”

"I guess so. I don't think it's a no-risk force to look at. Maybe the goddess of courage or the failure of the Sixth Cavalry has been passed on to the goddess." And then I had to put in... let's see, the more I had to put in that kind of fighting force... the more I could see that Vissis's hand was finally fading. "

The time for vengeance is at hand.

…………

Now, let's do it.

"... I'm sorry. This time, I might not have read it well enough."

"No... there's nothing wrong with Lord Toka"

The guilt drifted downward, and Seras fell down on his face.

The exchange after killing Oyamada was centered on a man named Hawk's deputy.

Before the man came, I heard what had happened to the Seras.

Phew, I'm breathing.

I'm a little light-hearted.

"But Munin is also having trouble..."

"I'm sorry." It all happened because of the sweetness of my judgment...... "

Munin seemed to be lost in judgment.

Whether or not you enter to help Ceras.

I'll meet you at the rendezvous point and call for me.

No matter what I think, it is too late.

Now that Slay is down, she can only help Cyrus herself.

But I also know that I am not strong enough.

When I made the final decision and tried to take off to ask for help from the Mad Emperor,

He said I showed up.

"It seems that Munin can't cut off his people even if he's cut off himself." Well... that's the kind of personality that I'm sure the Kurosaga folks like, too. "

…………

"Were you abandoned, Hawk?"

"... I'm sorry."

He's a good man.

There was nothing I could do.

Good or bad.

If only there were a good man in sight who could help.

I thought I might be able to help.

I can't leave you alone.

By the end of the day - too noble.

Even with the princess's education.

Perhaps the princess wanted to leave behind the nobility of Cyrus.

Intentionally.

Straight ahead.

Be real.

Or an honest fool.

"Lord Toka, I..."

I've heard that this time all the decisions have been made behind the scenes.

"... yes"

Cyrus grew stronger.

In terms of combat ability alone, it's too much.

Though.

In some parts, we're still not good at pitching.

And when the two things are put on the balance, perhaps judgment is impossible.

The customer may have felt it strongly this time.

"...... I thought that as a" "sword" ", I had finally been polished... to the point where I could stand confidently next to you."

Seras cuts it out with self-punishment.

"But now my sword is my lord... I felt painful that it was the first time that a king existed and lived." When you're far away... no matter what happens to me, I may not be more than "Seras Ashlein"... "

"If you think about it, have you ever acted away from here since you started your journey?" Even when I was in the most exhausted country, I wasn't so far away, and I was able to get in touch with them quickly by sending a message. "

Fortunately, we were in time.

The Sword Tiger Army was advancing faster than I had ever imagined.

I was fortunate in the midst of my injuries.

The town that fought the Sword Tigers was not far from the Imperial City.

Therefore, it can be said that it was in time.

"Disable the Sword and Tiger Corps, stop heading south, and the soldiers at the fort near the Imperial City turn to fight back against the white men."

Since I could achieve that, I could think of it as reaching the point level as a result of the battle.

The evacuees were also able to hold the east side back enough.

As far as I can do it personally, it would be more than a foolish request.

Toka-sama, I--

”If I pinch it, this is also a mistake of judgment on my part... no, that might be a difficult thing for Cyrus to say.”

It can be said that she underestimated the cerus.

Her goodness, her straightness, her sincerity.

They were darker and more certain than I thought.

...... Cyrus is not "me".

I feel that I became more aware of it this time.

Although it is not consequential.

In a way, I'm glad I figured it out before the showdown.

I snorted and threw my head against the wall.

"Well... when we met," I was in such a situation, and Lord Hawk was cut off and escaped... "I was also reported to you..."

I wonder what it is.

I can't imagine it.

…………

"Save or kill... it's easier for the bad guys to make decisions." If Hawk had been more disgusting, it might have been easier to make a decision..... "

Good people get involved.

Depending on how you look at it, its existence becomes a shackle.

Not to mention hostage-taking.

Though.

You can't turn away from someone who has shown good intentions.

That's right.

It is also against the wishes of my uncles.

For me, that is.

Sometimes I deny my dear uncles.

"I'm the same." I am not sure that I have abandoned Hawk in the same situation. However, since Seras seems to be aware of it, I don't intend to delve into it, but it's true that he acted calmly. "

"Well, I'm in a position to blame Cyrus, too..."

Even I didn't deal with Oyamada immediately from an emotional point of view.

I want to be fully aware of the gravity and stupidity of what I have done and then deal with it.

Originally, that was the stage where Oyamada should be disposed of immediately and prepared for the "next".

But... I still lacked calmness.

No excuses.

"... after I found out Lord Hawk's death... let Lord Munin escape... save Lord Slei's life... and I wondered if I could somehow create a counterattack opportunity......"

Oyamada's evolved unique skills.

If it was just an attack, I might have been able to take it to victory.

but it makes the movement heavier... it's like a gravitational attack?

There was no way we could prevent an attack that would even pass through the armor.

Moreover, it would have been difficult to deal with evasive action while holding Hawk's body and protecting him.

...... I was a little concerned about the "ruin dive" that Cyrus had spoken of.

It seems that Oyamada has grown stronger as a result.

Toka-sama...

"Enough with the reflection valve." That's it...... for other topics "

"Ah, so... what about the Sword Tigers?"

"We're all alive."

I kept him asleep, bound, and locked him in the basement of a certain house.

You must have woken up a long time ago.

"I told the representative of Hawk who came earlier where I was locked up. For the time being, I was going to leave the treatment to the Frenzied Emperor. However, I've also communicated my intentions.

You didn't take my life, did you?

A faint sense of relief permeated his voice, and Cyrus said.

"That's what I said. It would have been easier if they had been more disgusting."

Always this guy, too.

The Sword Tigers had no choice.

I was watching while I watched the timing of the raid.

He's always-- he's always nice.

I was aware that I was doing bad things.

Even so, be prepared to be ruthless in protecting the hostages, and be resented by Mira's people.

Be prepared to die.

"The sword of bravery, which had become a similar battle before, was many times easier to do." No matter how you look at it militarily, it's higher up there. "

If it seems similar and completely different.

There are similarities in the case of Oyamada this time.

Yasujihiro is sincere and hopes to be reborn.

Oyamada said in his mouth that he wanted to be reborn.

I want to change.

If I can start over, I want to start over.

The words themselves speak similar words to both of them.

But it was quite different.

…………

When I glanced at her, a smiling seras tilted his neck with a question mark.

"? Eh, erm......"

... spotting lies is a really important force in seeing people.

If only I had this power in my world.

How many of you think you're going to live an honest life?

"Ah, um... Torka-sama...?"

Humph, I smiled.

"I always tell you... you're a bad liar."

"My lies... um, there's something wrong with them...... ah"

I hugged Cyrus - to my chest.

Very strong.

"... that's enough."

”T-ka...... my......”

Grrr, and Celus grabbed the fabric around my chest.

Her hands were trembling a little.

Gently wrapping her head with her hands, I tried to speak softly.

You felt terrified.

"I, I... that..."

Before I killed Oyamada - just after I put her to sleep.

Cyrus immediately ran to see how Slay was doing.

Before I called Oyamada, I instructed Pigimaru to "tell him if he really thinks Slay is bad."

Because there was no such thing, I knew that there was nothing wrong with my life.

But after all, I ran over to Slay first.

Munin also appeared immediately.

Almost with tears in her eyes, she began a never-ending storm of apologies.

After calming Munin down a bit, I asked her to give her some first aid.

Then I carried Cyrus and Oyamada indoors.

So, after killing Oyamada, we were also being chased by the post-processing.

That is why Cyrus has been serving others than himself for so long.

Before that, I just blamed myself.

All I had to do was say a few words of reflection.

However, even if I made a difference in judgment.

Even if he lacked calmness.

I've been deeply hurt.

It's a cerus.

Now I can handle the damage my spirit has taken.

With me in her arms, Cyrus began to sob quietly.

From time to time I choke, but I don't utter words.

I pressed my face against my chest and just kept crying quietly.

Meanwhile, I kept silent and held the cerus in my arms.

"You... you're always behind me, Selas Ashlein." You've sacrificed yourself too much for what you've done this time..... "

So,

"I can't help it, I think I like you."

I felt my hand grabbing the fabric was getting stronger.

I told you so earlier, but I lacked calmness, too.

Herrus reacts twitchingly - sobbing weakens a little.

"As soon as I recognized Oyamada and you and Slay... I feel like I've almost completely lost my coolness. I thought I'd kill you. I won't kill Oyamada, either."

…………

"However, after I killed him... I hated him." After all, I'm one of their... people on Oyamada's side. The first emotion I felt was murderous. "

Really nice people don't do that.

Yes, I'm sure my uncles will.

"No... you're gentle." No matter who says what, for us,

"... maybe it's just a little salvation for you to say that."

Toka-sama.

Yeah.

"Could you... go to the room upstairs with me?"

"... I see."

We sat side by side on the second floor of the reception hall, on the edge of a bed in one of the rooms.

Seras seemed to have calmed down a lot.

Right now, I've been wiping the dirt off the face of Cerrus.

Munin went to the bathroom, but we just changed our clothes.

"Um... next time, I'll..."

The next time I was asked to wipe my face by Theras, the door was knocked on.

"Um, I'm up... but I wonder if it's here?" Are you in this room, Seras-san? "

"Ah, Lord Munin... yes, I'm here"

It's okay to come in.

"Huh? While you two are having fun... don't you think I'll bother you?"

It's not like I'm going to be bothered to see it anyway.

"T-Toka-sama..."

…………

Actually, I don't think people are going to see what's going on.

I could see what Cyrus imagined.

"Oh, you're hotter than me in the bathtub.♪Now, excuse me."

The munin from the bath comes in.

...... just a little more, you can be careful with the exposure.

"Nh... I'm sorry about earlier, right?" At that time, the two of you were in trouble... and I just messed with myself without being able to sort out my emotions... "

You mean that apology storm?

I told you not to worry about it anymore.

”Nfu... noo, the Lord is kind...”

Munin takes a slightly thin, turbulent pose.

Thanks to the bathing, it seems that Munin has returned to normal operation.

Honestly, I haven't seen it before.

"Ah, um... is Toka okay?" Um... this time, the opponent is the same as Toka-san... ah-, I'm sorry. I didn't have enough consideration, did I? "

"No, that's fine... In fact, I don't regret killing Oyamada"

People have killed a lot of people.

But this time I killed a classmate who had studied in the same classroom and spent time together.

I thought there might be some special emotion.

But I don't feel anything more than I thought.

No grief, no regrets.

Not unlike the first time he killed the Holy Keeper.

The so-called "right emotions" didn't finally spring up.

Somewhat refreshed, though.

I guess it's their son after all, I guess.

"Mu, Lord Munin... cheer up." I appreciate your attention. ”

"Oh, no... I was scared of Mr. Cyrus... I've been struggling all this time... even though I'm the oldest of them all..."

His voice was trembling a little, hahuu, and Munin's eyes were tearful again.

After all, I feel very weak when it comes to people, this senior.

... no choice, let's change the air.

By the way, Munin.

"Huh? Ah, yes... something?"

When I got back safely, you would spoil me as much as you could with a hug, right?

"Huh!? - Oh, that's right... ufufufu,♪that's right... if you like Mr. Selas, that's fine..."

... you're switching quickly.

I'm sure that's a concern... right?

Seras grinned calmly as he kicked his fingertips on his cheek.

"I-I believe that if Lord Toka wanted... it would be necessary..."

"No, you can pull it back normally, Cyrus..."

You trust me too much.

Remembering my high stock price as usual, I was surprised and faintly guilty.

--- tricks, tricks--

Huh? What is it?

Munin opens the curtain.

There's a little protruding space outside the glass window.

There was a white bird.

”Your legs are bumping into the window...”

When we showed our faces, the birds turned upside down.

I saw (...) my (...) belly (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...)

"Wait, Cyrus."

I open the window gently. [M]

I noticed it now, too.

Yes, turning over and showing your stomach -- signals.

This bird, I mean...

It's Erica's demon.
