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

Episode 490: Causes and Conditions Turn (3)

Smells like flowers.

It's from a woman walking in front of you.

Is it like perfume, or perfume itself? The fragrant smell has succeeded in loosening his thoughts. Nevertheless, where my thoughts have been somewhat loose, it makes no difference. Setuna's consciousness continues to loosen since she opened up from the tension at the dinner party. The depravity had begun the moment he entered the holding room, and he lacked so much tension that he couldn't get it back just by weaving his coat of courtesy.

Still, while I was walking down the aisle of the Royal Palace, I was returning a little bit.

He said he was just walking behind a woman dressed as a servant, because he realized he was attracting the attention of aristocrats and military men who spread into the aisle. If you were an invitee to the dinner party, you knew and deserved to know about Setuna, but you never thought you'd be noticed this far. But on second thought, it's natural. Setsuna was not only named first in the Argument Awards this morning, but was also named the First Uncle. It doesn't seem strange that he was the target of attention throughout Gandhia.

"Speaking of which, I hear that Master Setsuna has become a collar uncle this time. Congratulations."

"Oh, thank you"

I was pleased with the casual care of the servant woman, and Setuna answered honestly, albeit in the light.

He said he was Enjour's collar.

"Yeah. They say it's in Logner, but you don't know it very well."

"Really? I thought you were familiar with it."

Setsuna sounded familiar to the woman's voice. But I can't remember where I heard it. Before, when I came to the royal palace, it was not surprising that I had exchanged words. She works in the royal palace. Even if you don't remember your face, your voice may.

"I don't have any details. Nothing."

Setsuna said, but it was neither self-derision nor anything. It was just until I mentioned the facts. In fact, Setuna doesn't know much about Logner. Though I've tapped Logner's map into my head for an undercover assignment, it's also become a disgusting thing no longer. As hard as I can remember the positional relationship between Myram and Recondar. The fierceness of the Zalwarn war may have made us forget everything.

"... So there's one thing I'd like to ask you, are you sure?

"Oh."

"What impression does Master Setuna have about Logner? Gandia and Logner are countries that have been in hostilities for years, and what do you think?

"Logner's impression...... not impressed"

I thought the servant woman might be in Logner's custody because she was from Logner, and Setuna pondered how to answer correctly. Logner has been Gandhian territory since that war. Most of the Logner people belonged to Gandhia, military personnel to the Gandhian army, and the people became Gandhian nationals. Among the royal nobles of Logner, the leading men, beginning with the royal family, were listed among the nobles of Gandia.

Even if there were a Logner working in the Royal Palace, it's no surprise.

"Whatever."

"... are you from Logner?

"Yes, I was born and raised in Myram, the capital of Logner"

"Right..."

Myram, the capital of Logner, is also a memorable city for Setuna. After the war with Logner ended, it was a place where all sorts of things happened. It was a land reunited with Quon, a city that had quarreled with Faria, and he sent words with General Astar and saw the tomb of Wayne Bersein-Theurus. So Setuna is meeting one woman. Wayne's grave. A mourning woman.

"... Elenia"

When the name was put into words, the voice remembered in the back of his brain coincided with the voice of the servant in front of him.

"Elenia-Diphone"

The servant stopped for a moment but immediately resumed his journey. When I realize it, I can see it going behind the entrance aisle of the Royal Palace. It was such a place that even Setuna had never set foot, and it was not popular.

"You're Eleanor-Diffon."

"Yes."

"You decided to work at the Royal Palace"

"Yes."

"Was it? I didn't know that."

"Yes."

……

Setuna silenced on a one-time reaction in her street. I had to.

Elenia is the knight of Logner, a man who was in love with the armed summoner Wayne Bersein-Teulos, whom he killed. Setsuna did what she deserved when she was resented. You'll hate it. I would resent it. Thinking of it that way, I couldn't even shake the subject in a detour. Just move forward silently. Inside a maze of royal palaces. It was an unknown realm for Setuna, but if it means Faria is waiting ahead, we have to go. I don't know what happened to her, but it was only natural for Setuna to respond to her demands.

Faria is helping me.

"You don't have to know. I visited Gandion after the beginning of the war with Zalwarn."

"Yes..."

Noticing the thorns contained in Elenia's voice, Setuna wondered how she should react. Setsuna took her precious lover's life. I had no choice because it was war, etc., and would just reverse her emotions. Or, how about apologizing? If you apologize, it means you have a problem here.

Is there anything wrong with Setsuna?

(I do)

Had Setuna not gotten in on the logner, Elenia and Wayne's happy routine would have continued. Whatever the situation Logner is in, it's hard to imagine someone as powerful as Wayne dying so easily. The fact that Setuna and the Black Spear were opponents is the biggest factor in Wayne's death. Without Setuna, she didn't have to lose her loved ones. That's for sure.

But that's why I couldn't have apologized. It is a fact that I killed him. But if Gandhia were to go north for land expansion, he was to fight Logner sooner or later, and Gandhia's victory must have required the death of a large number of Logners. I can't tell you that Wayne isn't in there.

Thinking that far, Setuna shook her head.

(No. That's not what I'm talking about!

All the excuses complicate my brain. It's ridiculous. I wish I could just look at the fact that I killed him, but I'm imprisoned for something else and losing sight of my essence.

This should not be the kind of situation to mention it yet.

Three months after the Logner War. It is hard to believe that Elenia's heart wound is healing. I don't bother to imitate her heartbreak. Of course, if Elenia is going to touch Wayne, then Setuna has to deal with it.

Pick a word.

"... wouldn't you have been a knight, not a servant?

"I was also diagnosed that way by Gandia, but I do not want to stand on the battlefield again. Still, I want to help General Astal-Lanadies. That's what I was thinking, you just have to explore that path while working at the Royal Palace,"

"Road…?"

"Yes."

Elenia's voice sinks low. Working at the Royal Palace in Gandion may have been a bitter decision. If you give it to her, it's the palace of the country that took away her beloved. The center is also the center. I didn't think it would be a hard job for Elenia of Heartbreak, but on the other hand, I also thought it might be a good place because that's what it is.

"Yeah, I like that"

……

Elenia silenced. Setuna learned from it, too, and silenced. I needed to shut my mouth. It's the path she chose. There's no reason to pinch your mouth. I thought so.

When she realized, Elenia was stopping her legs. I thought you got to where Faria was, and you didn't. There is just a crossroads in front of us, not particularly rare changes. I guess it was the gift of previous experience and daily workouts that allowed me to feel the change in signs.

"... there's no way you can find your way."

Severe pain pierced Setuna's stomach.

"Die."

Elenia's voice was horrible and violent. So much so that I thought it might be self-inflicted, that the fact felt painful for Setsuna. Severe pain causes fever and slowly spreads throughout the body. It was a strange feeling. It was as if only consciousness was free from the flesh, which was, however, the same feeling as when it melted into the void. But there is pain.

"Die. Die for me."

I see.

Setuna watched her vision empty as she listened to Elenia. First, I'm looking at a dagger protruding deep on my flank. Then I look at Elenia's hand, which became bloody, and I go to her face. And I saw the aisle ceiling because somehow I fell on my back. Maybe he was pushed down. I can see Elenia has gone horseback riding. I didn't feel any pain because of the pain in my abdomen or from hitting my back on the floor.

"If you can't return my Wayne, at least, die, die now!

Elenia's scream was a cry itself.

(Right)

"Ha..."

Without even being able to speak, Setuna watched as the horseman Elenia waved her arms. I guess I pulled out a dagger I stabbed in the belly. I have a feeling the blood is spilling out. It didn't seem like the only reason my consciousness was blurred was because I was stabbed in the stomach.

You can't complain about getting killed.

Setuna remembered the sight she saw when killing Wayne. It was Wayne's memory that the black spear and the pitch-black spear saw by resonance. Wayne Bersein-Teulos. Blue Knight of Logner. He is a formidable enemy who hunted down Setuna, as well as one who Setuna consciously killed.

In his memory, Elenia was laughing happily.

(I did nothing but get killed. That's just it... I get it. I know. Yeah. Yeah. This means killing one)

Cause and effect is what goes around.

Killing people means that people may kill you. It has always been so. I almost got killed many times. I was dying. Every time I recognized death, I crept through it with the power of a black spear. Forced to screw over the fate of death.

Apparently, this time, the hand wasn't going to work.

I don't have a voice.

(But if it is, at least laugh at me)

Setuna looked at Elenia's face with a bloody dagger on her face. She looks down at this one, holding the dagger pattern powerfully with both hands. Tears overflowing from both eyes, what the hell, man?

(Why are you crying? Laugh. You were fighting the enemy, weren't you? You could have done your revenge. Then laugh...)

A bloody blade was seen approaching.

(Otherwise, it wouldn't be worth getting killed -)
