225 Episode 19: For the Valued ④

Side: kite

One arm is gone, my whole body is broken... my body is worn out.

Just by keeping conscious...

And yet the wolf in front of me has no wounds.

Mr. Bell... everything was above me...

I thought I couldn't beat anyone, but I couldn't win.

Belle is the third person in this city... how strong is Leo the second and the best?

Ah... if I hadn't hesitated to kill in that instant, things would have changed again. I thought maybe I couldn't beat Leo anyway...

Ugh... my consciousness is getting hazy again. I'm going to die here.

By the time I got here, I killed Leo's men. Even Leo the Stone wouldn't want to help me.

I'm sorry... Elaine. I don't think I can go home anymore.

After all, the name of the child... I hadn't thought about it yet.

Ah. It was almost there... and it's over without you seeing me.

I'm so sorry. God... are you looking at me now?

I'm sorry I couldn't live up to your expectations.

With this way of dying... regret is a mess, but I am very grateful that you brought me to this world.

I married Elaine. That alone makes me think my life was the best.

Because... I'm so grateful. Please, just help Elaine.

Please....

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa."

You....

All of a sudden, I wasn't surprised at the sentiments from strangers. Besides, I felt like I was hallucinating or hearing things before I died.

"I see... the messenger from God you asked for."

What do you mean? Is he the one who made a fool of God's request to name him?

"Oh, don't you talk. You don't have that much time left. I'm the only one who talks."

... okay.

The smell is... it could really be God's use, so I decided to listen to it.

Thank you for listening so well. Now, there's only one way to help your beloved Elaine. "

What should I do...?

"Oh, you believe me?

You're going to die. I want to borrow a cat's hand.

I mean, I don't have a choice but to believe anymore.

I see. Don't worry, I'm not a cat. "

Are you free to make jokes like that?

Whoa. That's right. Now, one piece of advice... go beyond your limits. "

"Uuuu...."

As soon as I woke up, I broke the limit and tried to break it even further.

"Ah... let's... let's go!

* giggle * I could've gotten a few times as much power as usual... but this is the limit of one shot.

"Grrrrr"

When I saw the sword standing up again, Mr. Bell stripped his teeth.

Next time, you won't forgive me.

"Take everything I've got in this blow."

If you can't shake the sword with this body... then you'll have to fix the sword and bet on a punch.

That's what I thought. I turned the tip of my sword to Bell and wrapped it all around my body with electric magic.

Ugh... endure it. Don't lose consciousness yet.

Just a little more... just a little more...

And then I stormed Mr. Bell.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

It was an instant. The vision changed in an instant, and Leo stood between me and Bell.

And... my sword penetrated deep into Leo's belly.

"Leo, Leo...?

"Goho goho, uhh... I'm really in your thoughts."

That's why Leo smiled...

SIDE: Bell

I... couldn't say a word... or scream at the facts in front of me.

I knew that Kate... used a trump card at the end.

As a result, I was able to... imagine myself going against each other.

But as long as Leo dies...

Oh... what an idiot I am.

On second thought, gentle Leo couldn't have missed my injuries...

The only thing I knew for sure was killing him, but if I was focused on avoiding him... if he was the kite of his body, he would have died on his own...

"Mr. Bell! What's wrong with Leo!? Ah...."

When I returned to the person, I heard Lena's voice behind me holding Leo with a hole in her stomach.

"It's okay, I'm fine... I'll treat you for Kite... I'm not curable anymore."

Yes. Ms. Kite's sword has a certain Death Effect that can be killed whenever she inflicts Ability Disable and Critical Damage.

That's why... I can't help you anymore.

"That's not true....."

"Hurry up, kite... if you haven't done it yet"

"... okay."

"Guu...."

"Dear Leo...."

Like Leo moaning painfully, I didn't know what to say.

"Bel... I'm really glad you're safe. Are you hurt?

"It's okay. Besides, why...."

"Even if this happens, I think Kate is a dear best friend. If I can help you... I want to help you."

"That's not true....."

How can Leo be so kind to people?

I can't wait to hate myself... for being irrational with Kate.

"Master Leo... please don't die. Please... please..."

"The bell is really cute....."

"No... I don't want to die... If Leo dies... I can't live anymore."

"Don't bother with that...."

"Yes, it's very troublesome! That's why... please live."

I was crying and I couldn't understand what I was saying anymore.

However, it's hard to watch Leo die already...

"Hahaha... I can't help it if Belle asks me to do that. I'll bet my life on one or eight."

Huh? Huh?

"Hmm, what are you going to do...?

"Bell, I'm sorry... can you get that magic stone out of my pocket?

"Magic Stone...? Yes, yes."

I didn't know what Leo was thinking, but for now, we gave Leo a gift for his adult celebration... and I took out the magic stone that Leo had always had from his pocket and handed it to him.

"Thank you.... Hmm. And finally, please make a fool of Belle."

That's why he gave me the Magic Stone.

Do you want me to pour magic on you?

"Isn't that funny... I understand."

That's why I kissed Leo with all my magic...

"Besides, thank you for wearing it. Thanks to you, I feel like I can win the bet. Well then, that's the last magic as a person."

"Leo, Leo... maybe"

As a person of Leo, I understood everything about the word "last".

Master Leo, I intend to recreate myself.

"Belle... even if I look ugly, will you love me?

Ugly figure... yes. Originally magic that makes monsters... it's not strange to become monsters.

Still,

"... of course. I will continue to love Leo no matter what he looks like."

In the first place, I'm like a monster.

You don't dislike me just because I've changed my appearance about Leo who loves me.

"I'm relieved... Well then, watch."

With a smile, Leo put a magic stone on his chest and cast a magic spell on himself...

Please, God... I don't care what you look like... please help me, Leo...

I kept praying to God beside the glowing Leo.
