Akuyaku Reijo Ni Koi Wo Shite

Rion chases Vincent and others ahead, but unexpectedly catches up. In a situation where they had to flee, Vincent and others stopped.

"What happened?"

"that is……"

The reason Vincent and others stopped was in their gaze. One of the schoolgirls is crouching on the ground with a painful face, with his hands on his feet.

"... are you injured?"

"It looks like you've crushed your feet."

"Now, get medical treatment."

"Healing magic does not work"

Healing magic does not work for injuries such as sprains and bruises, even if the fracture is cured. Similarly, it has been found that it does not work for diseases such as colds and eating.

I don't know why, but I have no choice but to convince it.

"... I must hurry. Perhaps the monster is following me."

"that is……"

Rion responded by slightly shaking Vincent's question. Understanding its meaning, Vincent's face is distorted.

"Make a decision"

"decision?"

"To save so many lives, we need to be ready to accept sacrifice."

"... I want to leave the injured person?"

While hesitating, Vincent spoke-he did.

"Well, no! Don't leave!"

When she hears Vincent's words, she changes her blood and begins shouting. If you leave it here, it is death. It was known to schoolgirls.

"Please! Do not leave!"

"that is……"

"Please! I'll do anything! So help!"

Neither the students nor their followers say anything to the schoolgirl's desperate plea. Some of them have turned their faces away. It is a decision that has been imposed on Vincent.

Vincent, who was responsible for the decision, looks crying under pressure.

"There is another option"

Leon cuts out another option for Vincent.

"What is another?"

"Please tell me"

"What do you order?"

"Stop the Demon Beast"

“…………”

This just transferred the sacrifice from the injured schoolgirl to Rion. Vincent is not an easy decision.

"Think about your position. Vincent is now the commander of this group."

"That's why"

"Even if you choose to leave the injured here, you may still be able to catch up. You still need a shrine to shake off the pursuers."

"That's the role of this unit."

"It's a true hall of worship, actually fighting the demon to stop it. Vincent isn't good to endanger his life in this kind of place."

"However!"

"Did you forget Hou's duty?"

Despite being cowardly, Rion used the word to persuade Vincent. Vincent, who values the responsibility of the Hou family as a legitimate child, cannot be denied.

“…………”

Silence is Vincent's best resistance.

"The place where Vincent bets his life is not here, but in the future. If he knows it, he will be the righteous man of the Hou family."

"Rion ..."

"I'm telling me to stop the beast. I'm not telling me to die."

"... I see. That's right."

Vincent knows what Leon is saying to ease his feelings. I knew I had to answer this because I knew.

"Then, order."

"A monster ... stop the monster"

"I've acknowledged"

"And"

"……Yes"

"And be sure to come back alive."

"Yes, always"

"Let's lend this. A little help."

Vincent was presented to Lion with his sword on his waist. Receiving it reverently, Leon immediately turns away from Vincent.

"Hurry up, you're almost there."

There is no time to indulge in sentiment.

"... Oh, then I'm waiting."

"Yes"

The voice of Vincent's instructions flies in a hurry. The injured female students carry on their backs, and further divide the group into two groups to move on. One of them is the group that will take on the role of the Lord after Leon.

For Lion, who stays here, I don't care, but I'm a little glad that Vincent showed such care.

After seeing the signs of the group moving away, Rion removed her eye patch. I felt a sign of a demon beast approaching to be replaced, so I entered the battle stance.

Rion's face had a grinning smile, which was about to face a desperate battle.

This is the original appearance of Rion.

If the blue eyes reminiscent of the quiet water surface are the colors of Ryo's reason, the red eye on the left eye is the flame of hatred that Frey dwells in. Rion is a mixture of these two properties.

Now, right before the battle, Rion's nature is leaning toward militant Frey. The pleasure of exercising the power that he had learned was naturally flowing into Rion's heart.

"……Sara"

Light that appeared in response to Rion's call. Rion smiles bitterly at the light that goes around.

"Don't get angry because your red eyes stand out and you usually have to be quiet."

The power of light is increasing more and more from Rion's voice. I'm not convinced.

"Rejoice. This time it's useless. There are rarely such opportunities."

The momentum of light flying around the surroundings relaxes. I know the meaning of Rion's words.

"Hey, it appeared. I don't have time to be relentless."

The demon beast finally entered Lion's sight. Demon beasts began to appear one after another, but remembering the magic attack, they did not jump right away and stopped at a distance from Rion.

"Sara attacks, burn out enemies. Dine asks for protection."

The light circling around Rion transforms into a flaming flame in the form of a small dragon, and a separate, clear, water-like mass of water rises beside Rion.

Both are based on the image of the spirit of fire and the spirit of water, which was in Ryo's memory.

"... So, let's go"

Pulling the sword borrowed from Vincent, Rion goes one step forward.

As if it had been a signal, the monsters attacked Rion all at once.

He swings his sword straight down against the monster that is jumping from the front. The driven sword cut the demon beast in half.

"... Response. This is not a normal sword."

Rion is surprised by the sword that splits the beast into two pieces like tearing paper.

The sword of Vincent, the son of the Hou family, was also given by the Marquis who drowned his son. It couldn't have been a normal sword.

"I could go seriously"

Another monster attacked while Rion was cutting the monster with his sword was blazing in flames. This is two bodies.

Rion felt a certain response, albeit a negligible number of monsters surrounding him.

◇◇◇

Leaving León, Vincent and the others were on their way and new troubles were falling. It's too stupid trouble compared to the situation where Vincent escaped.

"I can't believe it! Why can you do such a terrible thing?"

Maria shouts loudly.

In front of the rushing Vincents were A-class students, not another group that should have preceded them.

The first group, which was divided into three, quickly reached its destination without encountering any monsters.

They talked to the academy teachers waiting at their destination and sought help, but not the teachers or escort knights but the first A-class students to respond.

If anyone were to be, of course, Maria and Prince Arnold and Lancelot who acted to be pulled by her. And if Charlotte moves with Prince Arnold and Lancelot, he will have to follow it.

As a result, important members of the institute begin to work together to rescue B-Class, which inevitably prevents teachers and escorts from moving.

Most of the people at the destination have followed the northern route in reverse.

Encountered the next group on the way, they knew they had been injured, but soon after they were worried about the fact, a group of Vincents appeared.

Suddenly, Maria begins to curse Vincent. I don't understand why he was abused Vincent. I know it, but I can't understand why it's suddenly abused by a common schoolgirl.

"You are still a noble that you can safely sacrifice people to help yourself?"

Vincent doesn't understand the meaning of this question either. Because he was an aristocrat, he chose to forsake himself and escape.

"A person like you is not qualified to stand on a person!"

This is the same. Because he is in a position of standing on top of others, he has forsaken himself and made a decision for the whole group. The reason why they fled together was to consider their own position.

If Vincent was not a Houman, but was in the same position as Leon, he chose to fight with Leon.

In this circumstance, Vincent had no idea what was going on, and was silent, silent, and sullen.

"Please say something!"

And if you're silent, you'll be silent and complained. Maria's abuse against Vincent did not seem to stop at all.

But Vincent cannot afford to allow this situation forever.

"Would you please do it?"

"What's that!?"

"How long are you going to continue? I don't have time to be your partner!"

"You say it's arrogant!"

"What's arrogant! I don't understand the meaning!"

"Your attitude is arrogant! What if you admit a little bit of yourself?"

After finally complaining to Vincent, Maria refuses, but looks happy.

"So that's not the case now!"

"Well, when?"

"Let's do a really good job! Rion is fighting alone at this moment!"

"That is ... what?"

"I have to send my help quickly! I don't have time to talk to you!"

"It's too late. I'm dead now."

"It's your selfish idea! I believe in Rion! I can't do your opponent anyway! I'll help you soon!"

Vincent shouted at the teachers behind him, forcing Maria away.

"That's right. Let's hurry."

"Oh, hurry."

"And how many demons were there?"

One of the escort knights asked Vincent.

"When I saw it, it seemed roughly over a hundred. It may be more."

"What !? What kind of a beast is that ?!"

Vincent's answer is clearly upset by the knight. I didn't think that was the case.

"It looked like a black wolf. The body is much larger than a human."

"... Murder Wolf? That's such an idiot. Marder Wolf must be in this forest."

"I don't know the name of the beast! Relief anyway!"

Neither the teacher nor the escort knights responded to Vincent's voice. On the contrary, they gather in one place and start talking.

"What are you talking about? I'm telling you to help!"

"Wait a minute"

"Can you wait!"

"If you're really a Mader Wolf, there's no point in helping."

"What did you say!?"

"It's a monster that can't be in this forest, and it's a hundred. You have to think more about how to get out of this forest than to think about rescue."

"So what happens to Leon !?"

"I'm dead."

"……What did you say?"

"I'm not the one your opponent can conquer. Being chased means that the knight on the guard has already been killed. That's a strong monster."

"Such ..."

"You understand?"

"... Rion promised not to die."

"It's ... that promise doesn't make sense."

"It's a promise with me! I can't break Lion!"

"Anyway! I don't know when the demon will appear. Let's go back to the original place while preparing the interception system."

The teacher's line of sight was no longer suitable for Vincent. Prince Arnold, staring at the teacher, showed a slight hesitation but nodded at the end.

So the group's decision was made.

At the direction of the knights, the students start moving as a group. Only the knights who served as palaces and Vincent remained.

"If you do not go down, you will lose your life."

"... Rion is"

"I'd better give up. If truly a hundred Mader Wolfs were attacking, we would lose our lives. That's who we are."

"If you use magic"

"I have a higher chance of being defeated, but if we fail, we will die if you die."

"... I see."

Even though he is a knight, he is only a royal or aristocrat. Should the royal family Prince Arnold and the children of the lords have any trouble, their responsibilities would be considerable. The death crime of a knight is not an impossible story.

And. If this is told, Vincent will not be left in this place. To leave, he turned his back to the knights and walked.

"... Are you waiting?"

A voice hung on his back. Even without turning around, Vincent knows who it is.

"Rion ..."

"I wouldn't be impressed if that was the case. To avoid danger, you should escape as much as you can."

Rion talks calmly in the usual way, as Vincent wonders what his worries were. That also helped Vincent calm down.

"I was thinking about doing that now, but you're calling me."

"Oh, it's rude"

"And the monster?"

"Well, somehow. The knights worked hard and I didn't do anything."

"... I see. I have to thank the knight."

There must be no knights. Leon knew that the guard knights had been defeated by the beast, and so Rion stayed in arrest.

Even if he knew, Vincent talked to Leon.

Not only are they here. Judging that there is something you don't want the knight to hear.

"Well, what now?"

"Join other students. I don't even know."

"That's right, so let's go with that merger."

"Oh"

Rion tries to leave, even with Vincent.

"You! Wait a minute!"

The knight stopped Rion. It would be so.

"something?"

"What happened to demons?"

"Most of you have gone to the depths of the woods to say you ran away."

"Mostly?"

"Are monsters cannibalizing? There were several monsters eating dead corpses."

"... is it left?"

Then it will be difficult to go to the site confirmation.

"The numbers are small and there is no sign of attack, so I was able to escape safely."

"Really……"

Nevertheless, the knight cannot be in danger. Up to this point, it is Rion's speculation. The rest is up to the flow.

"Is it okay? If I can survive safely, I will miss my life more than before."

"Yes, I understand that. Let's head to the meeting point."

Rion's report determined that the immediate danger was gone, and the knights also decided to leave.

Even knights don't want to die.

Later, the possibility of sunset on the way led to the students of the school taking action to get out of the forest the next morning.

It was a very cautious process with a lot of caution, but thanks to it, I was able to get through the forest without any problems.

This is the end of the event.

◇◇◇

A few weeks later.

In the meeting room of the Knights of the Kingdom, the commander of the Knight, who heard reports from his men, was holding his head. A demon beast assault incident on an excursion at the Kingdom Academy. The investigation report was compiled. What is that?

"In other words, the students who followed the central route fired unnecessary and powerful magic, stimulating the surrounding monsters and trying to attack the students on the northern route who happened to be closest. When?"

"Yes. That's right."

"Why do you know that?"

"From the results of the survey"

"So what kind of research. You don't know if the beast was stimulated?"

The Commander does not want to admit this is true.

"In fact, there was an underground cave in that forest."

"It's an underground cave?"

"Yes, I can't really check the whole thing, but it seems to be running vertically and horizontally over a considerable area in the forest."

"What happened to that underground cave?"

"Murderwolf seems to have inhabited it. There are other monsters, all of which are deemed not to be in the forest."

"... I mean?"

"A part of the underground cave was destroyed by magic and further attacked. The beast there was out of the underground cave to escape, and it was near the northern route. That's it. "

"Does such inconvenient, no, inconvenient things overlap?"

"I found a few cave caves near the central route. When I looked into those places, I saw dead carcasses of monsters that are not normally found in the forest. Of course, the dead carcasses of Murderwolf."

"... it's circumstantial evidence."

The circumstantial evidence reveals the truth, but the Commander does not admit it.

"But the circumstantial evidence"

"So who are those students? Can you hold them to blame?"

The indiscriminate subordinates have no choice but to say clearly. The incident was caused by the Crown Prince and the children of the Marquis. The Knights are not willing to make such a report.

"that is……"

"In the basement of the forest, there was a marder wolf. For some reason, the marder wolf came out and hit the students on the northern route. That's for sure."

"……I understand"

"So the survey is over."

"There is one more."

Even though the commander of the Knight tried to round up the story, it seems that there are still some subordinates.

"……What?"

The knight commander who wants to end this story is tired.

"A survey of the northern route confirmed that a significant number of the monsters attacked had been defeated."

"I see ... they were so skilled."

"More than half of them are killed by magic."

"what?"

"Did they use magic?"

"... if you could use it, are you smoldering with a flat knight?"

"That's right."

Some knights can use magic. Some have special talents, as well as noble children. Such people, regardless of their status, have a higher standing in the Knights.

Magic is so powerful in battle.

"If not, what would it be?"

"There is one possibility, but this is also situational evidence."

"... No way, is that notorious Hou family damaged?"

"Are you sure you want to put it into words?"

"... Forget, but is that the case?"

"No, no. The Hou House is the most likely Hou House servant. He seems to have been alone in the battle."

"... is his servant a noble?"

"No, it's like a commoner."

"Can you use magic but remain a commoner?"

"Yes. Just because I was an adult, do you have any plans for the future?"

"... I can't. There's no way that a little child can defeat Murderwolf because a little magic can be used. Something wrong."

He knew that he was an adult and denied the knight's report.

Some ordinary people can use magic. But it is only talented, and without proper education, it will not be decent. It cannot be used for battle.

It is a common belief. The knight commander has no receptivity to accept things outside of common sense.

"... Is it okay?"

"Kamawan. I can't just report such unconfirmed information."

"Is that so……"

Thus the truth was buried in the dark. For Lion, it is both good luck and bad luck.

Shortly after the excursion, Vincent's notoriety spread again. Reputation as the worst Lord who abandoned his servant to help himself.

The rumor sparked a serious question for Rion. Questions about this world.
