198 Black Knight Seeks the Future 2

I was running faster than I thought.

Don't leave your position during the mission.One cat, I can't count the damage.

Gilbert knows that better than anyone.

"─ ─ Forster!?"

I heard the captain's impatient voice.I don't suppose Gilbert would have thought such a rude thing to do.It's only natural that you're even surprised.

When I jumped into the magic cage, the magic was already away from the knights' hands.This blow will bring the crusade to an end.

Looking calmly at the sight, Gilbert lifts the debris right next to the Thunder Dragon, where all of his attacks are headed.A small cat was still injured in the right forefoot.

Nyan

I wonder if my own cat gave up because of the injury to my leg.

Gilbert lifts his little body without hesitation and squats on his chest.I wonder if you're trembling because you're a cat and you're afraid of the battles you've been fighting.Or is it because of the sudden loneliness and the smell of death in this place?

Gilbert quickly put up a magic barrier around himself, but honestly, he wasn't confident enough to withstand the magic of more than a dozen magic knights attacking with all their might.I have exhausted a considerable amount of magic in my previous assignments.Even now, Gilbert continues to cast magic into the magic cage.

Attack Magic hits the wall and strong light whitens Gilbert's vision.

As she glanced at the kitten, she looked up at Gilbert as if she had crystal clear dark green eyes.The soft brown hair is dirty and sticky.The body of a cat is obviously devoid of magic.

All of that overlapped with Sofia one day.

"Oh, let's help."

Gilbert can continue to protect Sofia because she chose to stay by her side.

It was the first thing Gilbert begged Sofia for.

I'm not letting go in a place like this.

"... I hope you like Sofia, too."

Gilbert is a cat that resembles her beloved Sofia, but she has the same color as herself.But I can't imagine Sofia's aversion to cats, so I'm sure she'll still be very cute.Sofia grabbed the cat in the light of a warm day and smiled gently in her head.

A thunderbolt flattened by attack magic lifts its left leg.Gilbert glanced at the engraving of the numbers behind it and was pulled back into reality.

Surprise, lack of magic and survival instincts destroyed Gilbert's bracelet.The moment it cracks, strong magic swirls around it.

Gilbert turned all his consciousness to his magic in an attempt to create a flow of wild magic like a storm.You can't break any cage boundaries or magic barriers.Thanks to me, I can afford magic, but there's no point in running wild.

Unstoppable magic rips you apart, causing small scratches from your fingertips to your arms.I tied my teeth to shake off the spreading pain.

"Take it...!"

The ground rocked.

The attack magic used by the magical knights was stopped, and only a single dragon that burned hard remained behind the smoke that stood up again.

I checked them and wondered if I was out of my mind. The magic that had been raging has completely subsided.At the same time, the cage and magic barrier disappear.

The moment the earth and smoke disappeared and the knights confirmed Gilbert's safety, the victory rose.

"─ ─... is that it?"

The murmur was scratched away by the voice of joy.

Nyah

When you wake up, your tiny tongue licks Gilbert's cheeks.

Gilbert loosened his cheeks in spite of the humidity.

"Really... good."

A shadow falls over Gilbert, who breathes softly as he sits on the ground.

As he raised his face, he confronted the knight-in-chief with an astonishing, angry and complex face.

"Forster, I've never known you to be such an innocent person."

Low voices are royalty and majesty.

Gilbert stood up aggressively to thank the knight and gave up on his feet without strength.Instead, a bitter smile leaks even though we know it's not the case.

"... yeah, I didn't know that either."

"I didn't know, I guess not.Forster, you're not crazy to be dead. "

"I'm really sorry."

Gilbert couldn't stand up anymore and thanked him for everything he could now.

Gilbert's behavior is a nuisance to those in charge of the whole thing.If the junction cage had broken, a vast area of land could have been magically blown away, and if Gilbert's magic barrier had broken, there would have been no life.If we let the dragon escape, the damage could increase.

None of this is a risk for a cat.

The chief exhaled a deep breath of abandonment.

"Hah... that's enough. Isn't the cat lover a faggot?─ ─ So, what do we do with the cat? "

I don't have a collar. I used to live around here, but I was separated from my parents, injured, and I didn't think I could live in the wild.

Gilbert put his hand under the cat's arms and lifted it to face height.Looking at the cat from the front, I still feel worried about something.

I spoke consciously and softly to reassure you.

"─ ─...... you can live by my side"

Yann

The cat, who had no place to go, rang as if to reply.
