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

Midnight.

During everyone's quiet time, the sky, too cloudy for starry skies, had made the darkness of night profound. It is unlikely that I will be able to enjoy the evening breeze with cold skin and bedtime clothes alone. Autumn. The mundane summer has passed by.

When I was in Zalwarn, I could say that I felt the seasonality on my skin, but here in Enjour, the autumn scenery was entertaining the eyes of the Setunas, and it was nothing but Setuna's carelessness that I walked thinly in the middle of the night.

Walking in an unpopular garden. There's a small pond, and the moon trying to hide the clouds is moving into the water mirror. I wondered if even carp was swimming in the pond, but it didn't seem so.

The accommodation, after the disturbances in Azmaria, was about to be laid down an intense security system, but Setuna stopped it. I convinced him that it would be outside, such as allocating important personnel to protect the self-defensive Setuna, but as for Gordon, if anything happened to Setuna, he must be relieved. Still, I felt like I could do well with Gordon, who gave priority to Setuna's genuineness that she couldn't even enjoy her vacation, even if she was placed under strict security surveillance.

"Can't you sleep?

Suddenly questioned, Setuna looked back. Faria, dressed somewhat thick, had just arrived from inside the hall. Seeing where Miliu hasn't followed me, she's fallen asleep.

"It's not like that."

When Setuna answered with a bitter smile, Faria tilted her little neck.

"Hmm?"

"... I was thinking of Faria"

"About me? Why?"

Faria rounded her eyes, probably because it was an unexpected response, but Setuna was until she told the truth. While I was looking for quiet to think about her, I went out into the garden. That's just it.

"I've always wondered. You've felt like you weren't here since you were in Wang Du, right?

"... I knew it"

"I get it. 'Cause I've been watching you."

"... yeah"

I don't know why Faria dropped her gaze. Setuna is just stating the facts. I see Faria all the time, so I can also notice minor changes. It's natural. That's not why I'm being praised, because I also know from the fact that she couldn't rely on me. It's not just that I wasn't relied upon. I couldn't even reach out from myself. Such helplessness is now tightening Setuna's chest.

Faria was alone in her distress until today. That was very painful and a heavy concern. Something about her life. A substitute such as can be taken for granted that Setsuna cannot be relied upon.

"Sorry."

"What? Why would Setuna apologize? Setuna's not bad."

"Because I was aware of Faria's anomaly, but I couldn't do anything"

"It's... it's my problem. No one reached out because I was a man who didn't rely on others - that's all. It's not Setuna's fault, or anyone else's. It's all just a problem I have with a human being named me."

"Look, I'll do that again, and I'll blame myself for everything"

"But it's not true"

Faria laughed rather than mocked herself. An honest smile can only be nice. It's been a really long time since I've seen Faria honestly laugh so far. Setuna felt saved to herself and smiled back.

"I guess so."

"That's right."

Faria said so, stretching in the darkness. The yawn leaks and it lingers on its colour, but she didn't even seem to notice.

"But... thanks"

"I heard that earlier."

"Whatever. Thank you. I can be here because the Setunas will accept me. I can't express this emotion other than to thank you."

"It tickles."

"I see. Is the word of gratitude a weakness for your uncle?"

"... I'll be angry"

"Just kidding."

When she laughed, she exhaled slowly. Though the temperatures have been dropping, my breath has never stained white yet. In the first place, is there anything like falling temperatures that far as winter is coming? Setsuna still did not understand what the season was like in the small group of nations.

When I accidentally thought my surroundings were brighter, there was a cloud flowing over my head hiding the moon. The vast light of the blue and white moon pays off darkness stronger than anything else. And its blueness mysteriously illuminates Faria's blue-haired.

"I thought I had nothing left to lose my position on Lyohan. For it was all that I was“ Pharia ”of Lyohan. This is the name of my great grandmother that determined my life. That was everything, and I couldn't think of any other way. I thought I would return to Lyohan one day and succeed my grandmother. The Azmarian crusade and my father's revenge are just a part of it."

Setuna watched her side as she listened to Faria's monologue. The side of Faria looking up to the moon is exposed to the blue and white moonshadow and dyed blue and white.

"But it wasn't. I couldn't go back to Lyohan, and instead, I could have a way of being here. That's strange. I don't think that's a bad idea right now... Yeah, it's not, and that's what I think. I'm glad to hear that."

Faria saw this one. I felt like I could see the emerald green eyes, but soon I hid in the shadows and couldn't see them. I mean, I don't even know the look anymore.

"Think about it, there was as much of a road as there was. I wonder why you thought that was the only way. I don't know if you thought so."

"That's strange."

Setuna didn't see any other words to say, but there was a woman's cry echoing behind her brain.

"There can't be a way."

Such Elenia-Diphone stabbed Setuna ready to lose everything. but without being able to kill Setuna, he hoped to become a prisoner and die after spitting out all the information about the assassination plot. I guess the future was unnecessary for a woman like there was no way out.

But Setuna didn't want her dead. I refused to kill him by Darkless Arrow Cod, perhaps the first manifestation of intent. Kill as much as you want on the battlefield. Let's kill any enemy. Men or women, old men or children, with enemies, let's kill them.

If that's what Leongand wants.

If that serves as a black spear.

But outside of the battlefield, I didn't want to kill as many people as I could.

Look down at your hands. The wounded palms are already stained with blood. Thousands of enemy soldiers have been slashed. I don't mean to throw up hypocrisy, but still, if you don't have to kill me, why not? What's the point of taking lives in vain?

I realize its voidness because I've been killing it.

If only for Gandhia's victory.

There is no hesitation in waving the spear if it is to fulfill Leongand's wishes and those of his lord.

That's why I wanted to avoid the conclusion that outside the battlefield, I would take as many lives as I could.

As a result, Elenia was spared the death penalty. Of course, it's not acquittal or anything. Somewhere in this Enjour, I'm supposed to spend the rest of my life under surveillance by the military. Setuna had no say in whether that was good or bad for her.

(Why...?

How, Setuna herself didn't even know what came to mind about Elenia.
