Armed Summoners - Black Spears and the Brave Men of the Other World

"I guess this is good, Wayne"

Astal-Lanadies snapped one at the impending mass graveyard of darkness at night.

There is no one else. There's nothing like a spirit wandering, or a grave guard tucked away. No one's cemetery seemed absolutely lonely. And there's silence lying. The dead have no words. Long before they were buried at the bottom of the earth, they lost the language they spoke. Voice. Shadow.

In the sky the stars begin to blink, and winds that are not even cold blow through to stroke their cheeks.

She stood before the grave of Wayne Bersein-Teulos.

As General Flying's Devil's Sword, as Logner's Blue Knight, her one-wing young knight died in the battle ahead. It is not well documented how he fought and how he died, but we knew that he lost his life after a fierce battle with Setuna-Kamiya. And like that spectacular death, she confirms.

Wayne's body was so miserable that he wanted to turn away. That tells the story of the intensity of the battle between him and Setuna-Kamiya, and I guess it is true that Setuna told him that he was splendid and brave. Wayne must have sprung his whole body and tried to bring him down. If you didn't, you would have believed Logner had no victory. Maybe he thinks he has no future if he doesn't beat Gandhia. Were they cornered by so much?

Astar survived and saw the end of a country called Logner. He saw the sight of Gandhia drinking and incorporating him, hearing screams and cheers at the same time. Not all the Logners screamed. Few saw it as a good opportunity to be taken in by a country called Gandhia, and some were happy to raise their hands that it was more than under the rule of Zalwarn.

Neither did some of the military men, nor did they intend to raise their names in Gandia. Gandia greatly appreciated Setuna-Kamiya, an unnamed armed summoner, and gave him the equivalent of a knight. A birth that is not imprisoned by origin or faction would lead to the will of the soldiers at the end.

Royal Logner lost his territory and was to let go of his royal authority, but was welcomed as a nobleman of Gandia. Leaving blood is also royal duty. Even if it were to fall into a nobleman's body, it might eventually bloom back. That depends on how Elius-Logner works.

Astar also belonged to Gandia. And he got the title General Right Eye. It's like Commander-in-Chief of the Gandhian Army Logner, and it must be a position to put together the ex-Logner soldiers. It is ironic that she is second only to the Great General in the Gandia Army and that her presence on this throne has led to crappy speculation and conspiracy theories being whispered.

"I have become a Gandhian soldier. So I'll do everything I can for Gandia. That'll do for Logner, too."

I do not ask forgiveness. I don't even need to be forgiven. And it's not about being punished either. That is the lesson of turmoil. The loser has no choice but to follow the winner. If the winners were to wave outrage, they would have rebelled with power, but Gandia's reign was extremely calm and gentle. Logner was boned and quickly became part of Gandhia.

That's good to hear.

One didn't have to die in vain.

Only Arles-Logner resisted to the end, and he died, as a sacrifice to pay. Black spears did not forgive anyone.

"He moves further beyond your death, through numerous deaths. I'm going to look over to him. He is the spearhead of Gandia. Ahead of him lies the future of this country"

Astal remembered the boy he had been looking at until earlier. Setuna-Kamiya. As Gandia's black spear, the armed summoner who drove Logner into defeat. At first glance, he only looked like a boy, and earlier, he looked like he was about to be crushed by anxiety and impatience. I wondered if I lost to such a boy, and the thought that the black spear wouldn't float everyone's death then made Astar throw up words.

I didn't think there might be any need for encouragement or anything. According to what I've heard, he's only a teenage boy. It is only natural that the mind is unstable. No matter how much you stand on the battlefield, how much you kill one and how effective you are, you must gain more experience to grow humanely. It's not something that can mature in twenty years or there, and Astar still thinks there's room for growth.

Youthfulness is not evil.

You just need to be careful not to draw that young on the battlefield, and encourage him to grow. That would be one of the adult roles.

"Do you despise me? I wouldn't. You must know. You understand everything. So I will move on. Looking back is the end of the day."

Astal prayed quietly in front of Wayne's grave. that his soul may be summoned to heaven and rest in peace. And that you're watching over Elenia.

If so, she can move on.

Separated from Astar, Setuna was on her way back to the palace.

Thanks to Astar for giving me directions along the way that Setuna should not get lost, I followed her to the front of the palace without getting lost. Without Astar's help, it might have been midnight by the time we arrived at the palace. The sun has already set, and the magic lights of the city are emitting a cool light. I'm pretty sure it was slower.

Astar didn't return to the palace, probably because he had other business to attend to. General Right Eye has to head the army on Gandia's Logner side, and it's not hard to imagine being extremely busy.

Instead, Setsuna has too much free time. Even royal palace summoners and captains of the Royal SS Lion's Tail are allowed to spend most of their days training. Because the Deputy Chief and Assistant Captain are taking care of the chores, and I have to thank you both from that point of view, but the training days were often exhausting and I went back to the camp, and I was often not thankful.

The legs on the way home felt lighter than the way they went. Probably because the problems in me have been solved. It may be a cheap answer, but they found it. That's all we should do.

(lest death be wasted, or)

To do this, not if you're treading on the estate. Not if you are wasting your time like a child and causing trouble around you. Can we get a place in Kuon? I'm not in a situation where I'm thinking about that.

We just have to move forward.

"That..."

As I approached the palace, I found someone standing in front of the gate. It was dark from a distance and I wasn't sure, but it makes it clear what a woman dressed in a Royal SS uniform looks like as I take her closer. Faria. Faria Belfaria-Aslalia.

Has she been waiting for Setuna to return?

"Welcome back. That was sooner than I thought."

Walking up to the gate, he called out from Faria. I can see that a soothing voice still seemed to worry me.

"I'm home."

Setuna realized that her voice had played. Probably out of reassurance that Faria's attitude was normal. She doesn't seem angry anymore. Instead, maybe he wasn't angry from the start. In retrospect, she doesn't feel calm all the time.

She asks, somewhat unfathomably.

"Is your head cold?

"Yeah, no more bullshit."

"Yes, that would be nice."

Faria didn't smile, but the voice itself was soft. It's not sharp, either, over the glasses.

"I'm sorry."

Setsuna honestly apologized. I could apologize. My obsession with old friends had fallen out somewhere at some point. That's why I can spit out my length of mind from the bottom of my heart.

"It was all my fault earlier. I was just wondering. Remember the old days. I couldn't stay calm."

"Yeah, I'm the one who oversaid it. Don't even try to guess what's in Setuna's mind, just say what you want. I'm sorry."

"No, you're right about Faria. It's too convenient for you not to tell me anything about yourself."

"But maybe I'm the one who's creating an environment I can't tell you about, right?

Setuna wanted to laugh at Faria for coming. I calmly decide that such an idiotic thing is impossible. It's not her fault. I'm even driven by the urge to scream out that I didn't turn that down. I wondered why you were so sweet.

"I don't think so."

"Why?"

Faria sees this one with a decent face. Did she not expect to be denied?

"'Cause Faria's so sweet."

I don't know.

"Yeah. It's helping."

She's not the only one. Setuna is alive, helped by many around her. You can't even live alone. This was a different world, and Setsuna was the same as a child who knew nothing. The only way for a child who can only wave a black spear to live is with one hand. Leongand, Laxus, Ruufa, Lancaine, Lux, Astar - and all sorts of other people.

Among other things, can I say that no one has reached out to me more personally than Faria? Thinking about it, there was something creeping up inside Setuna. What an emotion that is. It was still indistinguishable to Setuna, but I didn't feel bad. Rather comfortable.

"Oh, I can see that."

Faria said so, walking out towards the palace.

Setuna rushed after her and lined up. Seeing the side, he seemed slightly upbeat, but maybe it was his fault. Her face is shadowed. I thought it was a little unfortunate, but it's been a long time since we've both walked side by side. Why don't we just enjoy that one? Setsuna decided to think so.

Setsuna remembered that, uh, she was in front of the gate.

"Maybe you waited for me?

When Setuna asked, there was a moment.

"You're an idiot. That's not true. Coincidence, what..."

Faria has been like that.

Is that also why I have bothered to emphasise it? But when I pursued it, it was going to be a snake, so I stopped. We made up. You don't have to bother to break your mood.

At the very least, Setuna thought she wanted to stay on foot to the palace.
