265 Lesson 240

The other Kannagi, who said so, was also a girl named Kannagi.

We put a strange look on her words, but at the time she didn't break a serious look.

"For the sake of brevity, what I've come into contact with you in the form of a dream is a fake imitation of who I am."

"... yes, what"

Normally it should take suspicion, but Kannagi is telling me now.

Because she seemed uncomfortable playing somewhere in her dreams.

But the cannabis in front of me right now are natural and have an unparalleled human odor.

"And it was also the fake work that lured the anxiety of a demonic child named Keira to this ruin. I really wanted to stop... but I was so sealed up that I could barely move. '

"So now you can move without the intense magic that drifts through this ruin?"

"Yeah, you're right"

So it was also the fake work of the cannabis that moved the rabbits elsewhere?

"So, what's that fake?"

"Him...... no, who she is--the sword of the brave"

Of the brave, the sword?

When in the first place you are questioning that you are not even an organism, Leona, who is deeply connected to the brave man's arsenal, throws a question to Kannagi.

"... does that mean that life has been inhabited by inorganic objects?"

She wasn't even alive. A weapon just made from a piece of the flesh of the Divine Dragon Falga. That's just what it was supposed to be... '

So Kannagi says, but soon he utters the words that follow.

"My self as a fragment of the power of the Divine Dragon Farga has awakened, influenced by another swing of sword protruding into the heart of the Evil Dragon"

"Evil Dragon!?... then...!"

To seal the soul of the evil dragon, the previous generation of brave men stabbed a knife in its heart.

Now Usat is what he has as a caged hand---if he was influenced by Evil Dragon from that knife, that should never be a good thing...!

"No, by the time she woke up, her spirituality seemed like a child"

"Huh?"

"But it's in my consciousness that she woke up sealed. I can't talk to anyone and I can't see anything. The only thing I could do was remember some of the Divine Dragon Falga carved into my own soul and my sleeping memory... and my memory as a knife before I woke up... '

……

"But that can't be enough to distract hundreds of years of loneliness. She was forced to endure long periods of loneliness without even being allowed to break '

Loneliness between hundreds of years.

That too, I've only seen other people's memories since I got myself, and I don't know anything else.

"So when she first saw a man named Usat, she was quite shocked."

"... why is Usato out here?"

"He's the one who pulled the brave knife out of the heart of the evil dragon. From that moment on, the two swords were connected."

"Connected?"

To my whining, Kannagi answers.

"Usat's knife, through her caged hand, finally allowed her to see a view outside of her memory.... besides, the seal is loose and I can interfere with the outside world... '

So far I've only seen Kannagi's own memories and those of Farga, but you mean he got the hang of knowing the outside world by Usat?

'Ever since then, she's been watching you guys. Fighting Samarial, Miarak, Hinomoto, Ringle, Demon King's Army - and trajectories until you come to this ruin'

"I was watching, huh? Our interactions so far?"

'Yeah. Finally I was watching, too. Oh, uh! Don't pull! No, I thought it was bad, but I missed you too...! Because I never got tired of watching you guys travel...!'

Kannagi stared at by Nair and became mundane as soon as possible.

I don't feel a little bad about what they've seen before, but it's not enough to blame.

"When did you wake up?"

"For me, it was when Usat pulled out the sword of the heart of the evil dragon. Until then, I didn't even know that I had woken up to the sword of a brave man. I was really surprised when I found out... '

That means until then...

Just a little bit, I feel sorry for that guy I talked to in my dream.

"So, in the end, does that fake identity mean someone whose self has sprouted on the sword of a brave man?"

Nair hands on forehead for a headache.

To her, I guess the Kannagi story sounds absurd.

Indeed, even if there are sorceries, it is an unscrupulous story.

'--- My fake identity is... someone who is Farga, me, and nobody. Her purpose was... to save herself by the presence of Usat'

……

'Cause she's been watching your journey. How long have I been wanting you to save your lonely self?'

Maybe Nair and I are in the same mood.

I knew it, but I think Usato is in a really weird shape to donate people.

"Then you should have normally asked for help without having to do something like this"

"Right. He'll act as soon as it's simple and you can ask for help. It's simple."

Ferm, I snort at Nair's point, too.

Basically, Usato falls into the category of people, rather than... Suzune and Kazuki.

If you ask them for help like that, they will not hesitate to go to help.

But Kannagi's expression remains dark.

"... she's distorted."

"Distorted? What do you mean?"

"Mission as a weapon made. A grudge against the Demon King. hatred for a species called the Demon Nation who has been sucking chopped blood with its body. They haven't disappeared since I got my emotions. So I chose not to honestly seek help, but to force you to be strong in order to defeat the Demon King '.

"Maybe Usat and the others were sucked into the vortex..."

Amako, you're right.

Usat, Suzune and Kazuki were sucked in because they tried to make them do something to make them stronger to fight the Demon King?

Then that golem was also prepared by a fake?

Hey, what a hassle.

"She is trying to strengthen Usat and the brave men with good intentions. But I don't have a heart the way I do it... and Usat has... '

"Are you trying to do something to Usat?"

"Give yourself the sword of a brave man, and in addition to that... I'm about to give you the magic of the light of a brave man"

Nair was the first to react to that word.

She held her head in a state of agitation and made that look bright blue.

"... even though it's just lies, healing magic, light magic? What, are you going to make the carbide any more...?"

Nair's in some terrible shock, but he's through now.

"And what do you got?"

"She has mixed Usat's desire to use herself as a weapon with her desire to destroy the Demon King. All sorts of aspirations are mixed up and you don't even realize it's broken '

"What happens if Usat embraces light magic?"

Kannagi answers Nair's question.

"The magic that existed is overwritten and turned into something else"

"Wait, what's something else... Usat's healing magic..."

"Yeah, it would be overwritten by light magic and extinguished"

!?

Usat is a healing wizard... gone?

If you can't even speak too much of a consternation, Kannagi in front of you arms up.

"But what I fear is something else."

"Anything more than that?"

"The dirty power of the evil dragon transmitted through the knife has a strong influence on the spirit of that child. Of course, in a bad direction. '

What is there but that Usat's magic may be lost?

Listen to her as she understands things are worse than she could have imagined.

"She barely maintains herself now, with Usat's strong desire to save her. If she becomes aware that the wish will not come true... '

"You mean your self will collapse?"

'No, it's going to be worse. By losing its strongest aspirations, what is left behind is a killing impulse against the Demon Nation... which, too, is more malignant, inspired by the Evil Dragon'

Do you come here and the case of Evil Dragon draws its tail?

I don't care how much it affects our journey even if we're released from the seal...

'Honestly, when that happens, I don't know what will happen to me either. So we have to rendezvous with the Usatos. "

"Do you know where?"

"Yeah. But it's time to be in this room -"

At that time, the wall on our side was broken and someone entered with the electric shock.

I don't have to predict anymore, I understand who came, I'm a freak who spreads his arms wide and flies to Kannagi - I look at Suzune and I hold her forehead by accident.

"Oh, Chemomimi! I won't let you get away with it!!"

"Wow!?"

It's not even an act. It's a tin sticking into a real screaming cannabis, but it goes right through.

Landing on the floor with her tongue pounding, she finally realizes our presence and leans her neck.

"... that means we're back together safely!"

"I think Suzune should have a little pain in the eye"

"Spicy on the encounter!?"

"Seniors! What's the matter, I ran out of the blue..."

Kazuki comes from behind Suzune.

Seeing it, Kannagi returns to calm and calls out to us as he lays his hands on his chest to hold down his palpitations.

"Come on, it's about being able to rendezvous with Suzune and Kazuki, and let's head to Usat!"

I don't know what to do, I'm kind of getting anxious watching this guy.

Is Usato really gonna be okay?

●

Power flowing from the sword of the brave.

With a clear chill on my sole, which came up to run up my arm, I immediately try to let go of the knife, but the cage hand who grabbed the knife doesn't move.

It's stuck like a magnet!? No, they keep it from moving!?

Something irrevocable happens to me like this - I feel it!

"If so! Mmm!"

Swing your left fist and tap it into your right shoulder.

A fist strikes around the joint, causing the arm to lose strength and forcing the hand to open.

After aiming for the moment and pulling the knife out of Kannagi at once, I throw the sword of the brave man to the ground.

I stabbed him in the ground, and I saw it, and I stroked my chest in relief.

"--- Phew, it was dangerous"

I didn't want to believe it, but I knew you were setting something up.

"Why did this guy suddenly punch himself in the body...?"

"Maybe that's it. You couldn't open your hand, you punched him in the joint, and you couldn't help it."

"How do you know?"

Switch your consciousness to battle and look back at the Kannagi who pulled out the sword.

Sleeping sealed until earlier, she was getting her upper body up.

"... this is the body of a person"

Staring at her own hands, she touches her peppers and her own cheeks and body.

And as soon as I noticed the left eye that did not reflect the light, I broke the sleeve of the kimono I was wearing, and with it I was covering my eyes like a bandage.

You noticed my gaze, and she turned to this one with the same blue eyes as Amako, smiling with a year-to-year smile.

"Thank you Usato! I can finally wake up!"

……

"... Usato?"

What do I look like now? [M]

I guess I should really suspect this guy, but I'm not sure that's a good idea.

Tilting her neck to my reaction, she comes out of the sarcophagus when she looks at the knife piercing the ground and is good at it.

And when you pull the knife out of the ground in an unbridled foothold, you offer it to me.

"Yes, this!"

"... No, this is..."

"This is yours!"

But if I touched it, it would be the same thing again...?

The cage hand resonance is still going on.

"Kannagi"

"Hmm? What?"

"Tell me the truth, please. What happens to me when I get this?"

Questioning that openly distorts her expression.

But soon, when I looked sorry for him, he explained the side effects when I received the puffiness and the "seed fire of light” and the do - or something like the price.

Apparently, when I receive this knife, I gain light magic and lose healing magic instead.

"So, but look, I'm gonna lose my healing magic, but I'm gonna get stronger magic...?"

……

"Certainly healing magic is an important magic for you. But if you have the light magic and the sword of the brave, you can fight the demon king. That's not even an enemy of the Demons."

……

"Oh, you're angry, aren't you? Sorry... I tried to make you do it without saying anything..."

To me silently, Kannagi is weak as soon as possible.

Because of her leaning over, her blue eyes seem dark and turned into something that stares.

Concerned about such a change, the cannabis, whose shoulders trembled tremendously, suddenly change into leopards.

"Wow, if you take me, you can defeat the Demon King!"

……!

"He (...) left me, so he couldn't kill the Demon King! If you hadn't left me, you could have killed me for sure and destroyed the Demons!"

"Kannagi, are you..."

"So now it's time you took me! As a brave man, to kill the demon king! Me!"

Something's wrong.

I'm not the only one who feels strange about her unstable words, but Koga and the others.

I hesitate to ask her a decisive question in a way about how she even looks painful.

"You're not Kannagi."

…… No, you're not. I'm a cannabis? "

"You don't have to lie."

"I'm not lying. I have good memories. I also remember brave men."

Her words were no longer cold.

The question came from the beginning.

Seeing what she had said and done so far and how she reacted now made predictions about who she was.

I reach out to Kannagi, who is desperately about to offer me the sword of his escape. Look at that left hand, heartbreaking to her to brighten her expression - pushing that knife back, rejecting it.

"I can't take that knife"

"--Huh?"

"I need healing magic. So I don't need that power."

If Kannagi's words were true, if I received this sword, I would have the magic of light and two brave men's weapons, like my predecessors.

Honestly, losing healing magic is not so important.

More than that, I felt a strong rejection of the word "destroy the demons."

The Demons also have people living in peace like Mr. Greff and his children desperately trying to live while experiencing hard beginnings like Keira.

Without understanding that, it just seemed wrong to try to destroy it.

"I can't replace a brave man. That's why I can't take you as a weapon."

This child was overlapping me and my predecessors.

He wanted me to possess light magic, perhaps a sword of the brave, who would be himself, and to defeat the Demon King.

But I can't do that.

To my words, Kannagi leaned back to relieve herself, clutching the knife.

"Yeah...... yeah, I'm sorry. I get it. Right, you would, wouldn't you? I knew it from the beginning."

"... sorry"

"You don't have to apologize. Think about it, I'm already saved. This is how I finally became a person... is that it?"

Kannagi holds his head as he leans there.

When I tried to get closer to her, I was starting to whine a little bit about something.

"To be saved, what? Am I already saved?"

"... Kannagi?"

"--- What's my real wish?"

When Kannagi's right eye shifted to purple--she jumped out with a tremendous velocity and crossed my side.

And he pulled out the knife so that it flowed, and stabbed the knife in Koga behind me.

"... Ofu...!?"

"---what?"

... what?

Even the winner, Kannagi, has a stunned look on his face and sees himself stabbed in the hand by Koga.

Fully unintended, Koga vomits blood and falls back.

Looking down at him like that, Kannagi smiles mixed with confusion and distress.

"And..."

"Uh, sorry? But you, you're a demon, so you can die, right? And you guys there."

"Oh, Keira!"

Kannagi tries to swing a knife with Koga's blood down to Keira.

Seeing it, Mr. Ciel embraces her as she aggressively shelters her.

With that look in my eyes, I don't hesitate to roll my full spin kick into Kannagi, but she avoids it as if she knew it.

"... cum!"

Did you predict my movements this way of avoiding it?

I'll make sure she gets a distance from us, and then we'll get closer to Koga.

"Koga worried if I should help, but are you okay?!?"

"No, help me right there..."

"Oh, thank you......"

Koga and I are not enemies, but how can we not heal...!

In a hurry, Mr. Ciel, rushing over, is talking to him as he holds down a severely wounded Koga wound.

"Mr. Korga! Aren't you ashamed to be able to help the enemy healing wizard!! There, please comment!!"

"You're a wookie...! Oh no..."

Koga stares into her own hands as she undergoes treatment and is stunned.

"Magic, taken...!"

"What...?"

As he pours healing magic into his wound and tries to treat it, Kannagi looks at me in surprise.

The eyes remain purple, close to black, unchanged.

"--- Usat, why are you attacking me!? I don't know what that means!"

"What are you saying...?"

A sword wet in blood, nothing has turned into a cannabis that sues me like that without even looking at it.

Really, I don't know why I was attacked...?

"You know what you did!? Even if Korga is fine, Keira is an irrelevant child!?"

"Hey, don't whip the injured..."

"Is Mr. Korga the type of person who gets thinner when he's weak...?"

Behind you through!!

To my cry, Kannagi looks badly bewildered.

"But ending the Demons shouldn't be a bad thing... sorry for now. I apologize."

"Are you sure you don't understand...?"

"You know what I mean? I do that... Me? No, it's me, isn't it? Yeah, I was created to destroy the Demon Clan and kill the Demon King. That's why the demons in front of us must be killed."

That being said, the color of her eyes shifts from purple to blue.

"Hmm? Don't you have to do that anymore? But the demon king is still alive, and there are demons. Is that it? No, that's not my wish. Not that I want to do this...?"

She holds her head with a sad face.

The usual me would be just rushing over, but it's too dangerous to get close to her now.

"I just wanted you to help..."

"... to me?"

"Because you were the first real person I ever saw. Like Eva, Leona, Kalon, Amako, Mushroom, Kazuki, Suzune, Keira, I wanted your help."

The color of her eyes brightly extinguishes as blue and purple.

As her personality is replaced, she pays for the blood on her knife as she changes her words, deeds and emotions.

"But I must destroy the Demons. I have to kill the Demon King. I wanted you to use me as a weapon until the end. But I can't make that wish. So you can't help it, can you?"

Darkly precipitated, purple - turned into a disastrous eye reminiscent of an evil dragon, she turns the cutting edge of that knife towards Keira and Mr. Ciel behind me.

"I have Kannagi's body, and I have to do it alone, right? Because you refuse."

Black magic, similar to Korga's dark magic, overflows from her body.

It overflowed, passing on Kannagi's arms and dyeing her clothes black.

"Kill the Demon King. Destroy the Demons. All the carbides in the form of men disappear from the world. Because that's why I was born."

I made the wrong choice.

I jumped her hand asking for help.

Even though I was overthrown by that fact, I set my fists to protect the Keiras behind me.
