"I am not as kind as Lilia. I'm not going to lead you to protect the man. Of course you did. I can't believe I reached out to you."
"... Dear Eileen. But I am."
"I don't even need self-abuse. When it comes to almonds, I will never forgive you.... but Master Claude will surely forgive you. That's the one. That's what I love about him. I want to be worthy."
So, and Eileen grabbed the iron plaid hard.
"Be quiet, Elephas. You crawl miserably and beg forgiveness. He told me to get rid of everything and save my hometown. - Because then I can make excuses for almonds!
Elephas looked up with clear eyes at Irene, who bit her lips off. Reddish, gentle orange eyes, a testament to those with magic.
Once those eyes were down - the next moment, Elephas stuck his own finger in his left eye.
"What are you doing!?"
"- I needed powerful mediation just to receive the Demon King's magic, and I used my right eye. A powerful magician's eye can be a powerful magic tool. Now my right eye is incorporated into the Queen's magic fixture. At that time, with my left eye, I was able to disarm the demon king."
The left eyeball falling into his palm makes a buckwheat sound and turns into a red crystal.
Elephas offered it, kneeling and laying down his face.
"Using this will restore Master Claude's memory and magic. This is the best loyalty I can do right now.... I don't think it's gonna replace Almond's life."
……
"Oh, it's not going to be a foot clump. The magic in your body makes up for your vision, and your eyes make something that looks just like that in your right eye once your magic is restored. Now I'm gonna lay my eyes down."
"... you're an idiot"
To Eileen, who said so, Elephas raised her face with her eyes closed. There is no trace of blood on those cheeks. I guess that even turned into this red crystal.
"Again, you don't cry"
"Why should I cry?"
"Lady Lilia cried when she found out she offered her right eye. I was apologized for not being able to do anything. I didn't want her to help me. That's what I answered. But that's a lie. I wanted to help my hometown, and I wanted you to help me. To someone - now, to you."
Master Claude was jealous.
There is a Claude who is loved by you more than Cedric who is supposed to be loved by Lilia.
I decided not to listen to that word. What he has offered is loyalty. I'm not in love.
"It's a stupid clan. Deceived, abused, there is only hope for revenge. Please stop. When Master Claude regains his memory, I will take any punishment. So please, please."
Irene looked up at the ceiling once to Elephas, who bowed her head and even begged her.
(I can help you, can't I? Almonds)
It was a straight, strong demon. I can also take up and abandon only the red crystal as it is, but if I imitate it like that, I will be despised. I might lose my mouth.
Touching the iron lattice, the cell crushed like ice and disappeared. Irene turned her back curly to Elephas, who still wouldn't move.
"Keep that crystal. I have it, and if I touch the holy sword by mistake, it's going to shatter."
"... that's... but okay? Let me have it."
"Fine. 'Cause you're never gonna wake me up against the blade again."
I took a deep breath and smashed through the walls of the cell with the holy sword. Apparently it was a dungeon, the ground is clear, and the stairs are formed. It seems that the Holy Sword is considerate today.
"Come on, let's go"
"Um... can you help me? Please don't destroy me, okay?
With an unfamiliar face, Eileen climbed the dirt stairs and went out to the ground. You heard the explosion, you heard the scream far away. Some of them will be breathing when they storm the inner royal capital. Put your arms together and Eileen decides to wait. Elephas gently obliques behind.
"Speaking of which, what is the Queen's magic appliance?
"Oh... don't you think that's strange? That Empress's youth."
No way. Elephas nods at Eileen for pulling her cheeks.
"That's magic. The magic of so-called rejuvenation. When you flush magic, you have a magic tool that creates a magic crystal that stops when you're in your body. Drinking that crystal and taking it to your body stops you from staying young. Of course, if the magic runs out, the effect disappears. So I can't keep that figure if I don't keep taking the crystals regularly. And producing crystals requires immense magic. That's not enough for one wizard."
"... is that why the Levi hostages are here?"
"You know. It's both a hostage and a source of magic. Seems like a precaution taken at first because it's dangerous to leave them with magic..."
"What a waste of sorcerers! What a waste! I don't know why!
I accidentally squeezed my head off.
"I know it's not a good idea to rely too much, but disaster preparedness and other effective uses will be like mountains! Yet the purpose is to make young... if you are immortal, make young anyway! Are you nuts!?"
"Shit... focus, is that it"
"And the story goes... now you're using Master Claude's magic...?
"... because Master Claude's magic is immense. But all the hostages are no longer dying from being squeezed out of their magic. Dear Eileen, of course, will not be convinced..."
I was familiar with the cry that it was this way. That's the voice of the man who was in front of the prison earlier.
"It's just that the Empress's age is her age. Hostages alone were running out of magic. That's why my proposal to take away the Demon King's magic was accepted."
"Yes. He's the one in real trouble. I can't believe it's coming from all directions..."
Sighing, Eileen turns to those who have gathered together. And I checked with Elephas.
"Hey, that mansion, it looks like it hasn't been taken care of, but is it deserted?
"? Yeah, it's been used for years -"
Sifting through the Holy Sword with his right hand, the mansion blew away with its shockwave. Irene laughs gracefully in the hands of the Holy Sword as the dust dances.
"Nice to meet you, gentlemen. My name is Irene Lauren Dorthrish."
Elephas is still smiling and solidifying, even when the dust that has risen is clear.
"Thank you for helping me where I was passing out. By the way, I was hungry when I attacked the Imperial Capital, so I wanted to have a discussion. Who's in charge?
"-... hey, cover them all. Shoot him, burn him with magic!
"Well, it's you! You said you'd show me!
"Um... Dear Eileen... just take it easy... because I apologize..."
Elephas pleaded in a low voice, but it doesn't matter. Flying all the arrows of magic unleashed simultaneously, Eileen smiles only elegantly.
"You didn't want Elephas to help you, did you?
"Hih..."
"Besides, I need you to show my Lord Claude how confident you are in trying to do this. Fight like a man, right? - Until, of course, you die."
That's what war is all about.
Irene, who laughed invincibly, kicked the ground and waved down the holy sword.
