259 Lesson 234

Usat, Keira, Suzune and Kazuki were sucked into the mysterious vortex and disappeared from this space.

If I had concentrated more on prediction, I would have been avoided.

Disgusted by his impertinence, he speaks to Nair and Brulin, who are searching for traces, where they were sucked into the vortex.

"Nair, Burlin, what do you got?"

"Grua......"

Brulin shakes his head to the side.

The smell seems to be completely interrupted.

"... there are traces of magic being used."

"Do you know where it came from?"

Nair nods at Mr. Leona's voice as he guards his surroundings.

"Barely, but it's still there. But this concentration of magic could take a long time to trace."

"It's enough to have a clue. If we follow that, we can find Usat and the others, right?"

"Yeah, Usato and the others are still here"

Nair, who said so, puts his hand on the slab on the floor.

"Perhaps this magic is a short-range spatial metastasis."

"You want to see when I'm brought to Miarak by a guy named Farga?"

"... no, the user will have considerable power, but in that case the coarseness is noticeable in the composition of the magic."

"I mean, what do you mean?"

As with Ferm, I lean my neck too, Nair roars with her finger on her mouth worried.

You look confused about what to say.

"It's Chigu, isn't it? Even though I have the power, I feel unfamiliar with dealing with it. I have no idea who set this up... but honestly, it's unusual."

"... let's start by tracking down the trail and finding everyone sucked into the vortex"

"Right...... Traces of magic continue from that wall over there."

"Hmm..."

What Nair pointed to was a passage that had been closed by the wall when he entered here.

Looking in the direction she pointed out, Mr. Leona, one nod, held the spear in his hand backwards and threw it against the wall.

A spear pierced against a wall produces hard ice from its tip, destroying the wall from the inside out.

"... All right"

"Hey, hey, Leona!?"

"I don't have time for this. At this point, let's move on with strength."

Having grabbed the spear that came back alone, she walks ahead.

As we follow behind her too, we proceed down the aisle at the end of the destroyed wall.

"Usato, Suzune, Kazuki... and Keira, are you okay..."

"You don't have to worry because Keira has Usat on her. Besides, the Usato one... he jumped me and Nair first..."

Shortly after the vortex shows up, he is thrust by Usat, and Fermu, who has escaped the difficulties, is in a bad mood.

Nair doesn't even talk about it, but he's upset.

I guess I'm frustrated that Usat took refuge in the Ferms over himself first.

Usat, because he basically puts himself behind...

"The next time I see you, I want you to say one of your complaints."

"I'm going to hit him."

"Maybe it won't work, so do something else."

That's what I exchanged words for, Nair and Ferm.

Looking at those two backs, I speak to Brulin walking next door together.

"Burlin, are you worried about Usato and the others?"

"Gluer."

Burlin ringing in a bright voice.

From his voice comes the emotions he trusts rather than worrying about Usat and the others.

"... yes, that's right. Usato and the others will be fine."

"Guru"

"hehe, thanks"

I stroke Burlin's head, which rings one more time to care for me.

I have a bad feeling about it.

This case is not what it used to be.

With such vague anxiety, we proceeded through the ruins to find Usat and the others.

●

Immediately after the Second Commander of the Demon Army, Korga Dingal, appeared before us--a whirlpool of white light appeared before us.

The next time we opened our eyes to the vortex of light that appeared to attract only me and you, the white world was spreading.

"Senior, is this...?"

"I was drawn to that whirlpool of white light... I know until then, but other than that, it's refreshing"

One thing I can tell you is that it wasn't Koga who put us in a trap.

Anyway, he was drawn to the white vortex, too.

Being alert to our surroundings while making sure we have our own weapons of valor, we see something like a shadow in front of us.

"Welcome to this space"

"Who is it?"

"I am Kannagi, the one who lured you to this ruin this time."

Put up a cage hand and try to continue the conversation as I waited for you, Kazuki, to unleash the magic bullet of light magic.

The presence in front of me is too frigid, though the usual me would be too attractive kemonomimi.

No, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Isn't that okay?

Instead, isn't it an ant to try and tear things up with a body that keeps holding back?

……

"Huff, you're on guard. My eyes are running blood."

"Please calm down. Senior."

Oops.

Switch consciousness and ask Kannagi again.

"... for what purpose?"

It's for you.

"What do you mean?"

Kazuki smiles at your words.

"I'm here for you."

"Support……?"

"The Demon King needs to have his breath stopped this time. That's why I'm moving. I want to help you."

……

"It may sound like a lie, but this is undisputed sincerity. For me, the Demon King is my enemy."

She doesn't look like she's wearing a cat.

She seems to be telling the truth, but she still can't be trusted.

I can throw up as many good words as I can hear.

A woman named Kannagi dares to take off her pivotal part and put it into words.

"Usato is being tried."

"Huh, are you doing something to Usat...!"

"Don't worry. He has something he wants to entrust. So far... uh, yeah, I'm fighting very well."

Why did you say that?

Kannagi's expression, which had a frigid grin, becomes subtle only for a moment.

But what do you want to entrust? It sounds special from the mouthfeel of the cannabis, but I don't think that's a good one.

"Of course, I want you to take the test."

"... what if I said I didn't like it?"

"Still get it taken. Because as it is, you will never beat the Demon King."

Kannagi goes on to say the word as he points to us, unable to say anything to the sure word.

"You guys are sweet. That readiness to defeat the enemy is irresistibly sweet. Then you'll never be able to defeat the Demon King?"

……

"There were no shards of kindness in the battle of the previous brave. No mercy, no mercy. All I have is a willingness to definitely end the other person. Compared to that... you can't."

Indeed, we are not the same as our predecessors.

It is only natural that the ways of the brave predecessors called in the rough times in the first place are different from ours.

But still, Kannagi's words don't stop.

"Kindness matters, doesn't it? But one day, I'll be asked to make a ruthless decision. You two must tolerate some sacrifice for the happiness of many as brave men."

"I won't let that happen...!"

"Kazuki. That's already sweet thinking."

With a voice that felt serene, she said so to Kazuki, raising her hands.

Then an unusual concentration of magic gathers from nowhere and turns into a sphere.

"What are you going to do!!"

"I just gathered the magic drifting through the ruins. I won't use it to attack. Instead, you're gonna have nightmares."

With her hands on her left eye, she began to work out her magic with a bitter voice.

"--- System Enhancement"

The moment she put it that way, the white space around her was heavily distorted.

The distorted scenery gradually fades, changing even where we stand.

If you noticed, me and Kazuki stood right in the middle of a battlefield like no other.

"Burning? Where am I?"

There is no sign of Kannagi who was there until earlier.

The trees that grow around them are burning, and the bodies of humans and demon king army soldiers are rolling around everywhere.

As I accidentally flaunted myself by the sight of reality that wasn't an illusion, Kazuki noticed something.

"Seniors, there are people over there!"

Kazuki, look in the direction you pointed.

"Take back our homeland!!"

"Oohhhhhhhhhh!!"

There they were, soldiers who raised their ambitions.

The armor they were wearing belonged to the kingdom of Ringle, but it was scratchy, as it had been used many times.

There were other unfamiliar soldiers in Samarial, to Carm, in white and water armor, who were uniformly heading in the same direction.

"... is that the kingdom of Ringle?"

Ahead of them was the kingdom of Ringle, a place we were used to seeing.

The castle, which was so beautiful, was filled with black smoke, and the people's lively underneath it was engulfed in flames - around it were soldiers of the Demon King's Army, forming a formation with our faces.

"How could there be an army of demons in the kingdom of Ringle..."

"What the hell is going on..."

Flattering us.

If the situation is not swallowable, in that direction in which the Kingdom of Ringle exists - we have found our well-known hindsight.

A brunette boy wearing white group clothes mixed with some red.

He sat back on something with his back to this one and watched the jiggly burning kingdom of Ringle.

……!!

"Senior!?"

He might know something.

I think so, and when I run over to him, I realize his body is full of blood.

Like when assimilated to Ferm, the hem and arms of his uniform are dyed red, and the uniform itself is scratched.

"Mr. Usato! Are you hurt?!?"

……?

Turning around in a slow motion, he turned his eyes to surprise me and Kazuki when he saw what you looked like.

"Senior...? Kazuki...?"

"Usatoku -"

At that moment I tried to rush over to him who was injured - I see the sight of you in front of me, Usat, trying to stick your hand out to my throat.

Rushly, I take a distance from the thunder, but my cheeks were engraved with small cuts caused by your penetration.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

Hands on cheek wound, voice trembling at slight blood.

Did he, Usat, try to kill me?

Staring at the off knife, he slowly stood up, looking at us flashing and distorting his expression into anger.

"Oh, that woman. I knew you should have dropped your neck. I can't believe you're showing such bad chest shit again..."

Hold your head, you wicked Usato.

If you look closely, it's not Marutai he was sitting down.

It's the remains of a stacked demon king army soldier.

He's got his throat crushed, he's got a hole in his chest, he's desperate.

"Usat! Don't you see us?"

……

Kazuki, who desperately claims to be himself, saw you with cold eyes, Usat, and you punch yourself in the forehead.

Both me and you, Kazuki, are stunned by his sudden actions.

"Won't you wake up yet? This worked before..."

Blood dripped from his forehead, but he raised his face despite it.

"Seniors and Kazuki are dead. He died because of me, because I couldn't make it."

An emotionless voice.

A cold, frozen voice far from him we know.

"So I have to fight instead... to protect everyone's place of return"

Mumbling so as to tell himself, he turned his bright red eyes over here, stained with blood flowing from his forehead, and set up his fist.

"If it's an illusion, kill it and you'll disappear"

- Me and Kazuki, you're dead?

I don't think his words are lies. Anyway, because the attack on me earlier was an attack that was really meant to hold my breath.

"He... we know, Usat, not you..."

His pride, lifeguard uniform, is wet in blood and full of calves.

The prominent eyes and bright red hands of the neighborhood were too spectacular for the earliest humans - it was so painful to watch.

Having seen him like that directly in front of me, I realized.

Notice it, understand it, the tears of immensity creep up and transmit the cheeks.

"... no..."

A world without me and you, Kazuki.

That's when the Black Knight killed me and the Demon King's Army won the war, what if time.

We don't know you here.

Being alone was a man who carried everything in and became a genuine monster and ended up.

"Usato, are you..."

Oh, it's a nightmarish sight indeed...! Kannagi...!!

We are now going to fight - Usato, who fell into Shura...!!
