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

Look at the gray sky.

He lies on his back on a gray plain, watching the sky expand full of vision. The flowing clouds, the shining sun, everything was gray. Perhaps even if you get up and look around, it's gray.

Grey world.

It shows that we are in a narrow space between dreams and present.

"Not again."

Blurry, dark shadows covered my sight. Something huge is dancing in the gray sky. Just one black dot to pollute the gray sky. I guess I feel enough to cover my sight when I say I'm flying far above it, because that's so huge. Black dragon. Chaos bringer incarnation.

"I'm dreaming about something I haven't dreamed about. I don't think there's a mourning sardine."

"Ha... no crap"

Setuna threw up sick and tired of the sarcastic words of the black dragon. The incarnation of a spear with immense power is always the kind of guy who steps into our hearts with our faces. You don't have to worry about someone like that.

The dragon stopped in a corner of his sight as he swirled wide above. Start descending slowly. A giant object approaches without sound. To overwhelming force, we have to feel intimidated. As usual, they don't even mean it's that easy to get used to.

Wake up the upper body. The sight of dreams and present boundaries remains the same as usual. Nothing. A wide plain. The stones and the grasshoppers are anointed with gray, and even the light of the sun and the shadows that it produces are stained with gray. Setsuna herself. The hands and feet in the eyes were gray, and only black dragons seemed to be able to hold other colors in this world.

A dragon boasting a giant body like a pitch-black fluid. The only discomfort in the gray world. Being that destroys gray harmony. Though perhaps he deserves it, which is the righteousness of destruction and killing.

"Advice."

The dragon is looking down from the top of his head. The countless eyes that shined red were still reminiscent of the Imperial Devil. Maybe it's because you killed too many Imperial Demons.

"Be careful. The enemy is always watching you."

"Tell me who the enemy is."

"That's what you think."

"I don't know, advice for what"

"Don't you ever make a mistake like that again."

The dragon narrowed his eyes like a mockery. Only the red glow that leaks from countless eyes is strong and intense.

"Thank you."

Failure must have been the stabbing of Elenia. There is no objection. I was just lucky I didn't have to die. Because I didn't think that Elenia would kill me with a thrust of the steeple because she hated me, and not because of Setuna's efforts. Instead, Setuna had even accepted to be killed.

I could have died, I thought.

In retrospect, I can tell you it's stupid, but that's what I thought then. Maybe he was tired.

"But I really appreciate it."

"It's a special triumph."

"Thanks to you, I can stay. I feel that way."

Setsuna stood up on the spot. Narrow room between dreams and present. I don't feel tired. On the contrary, if there was no pain, there was no laziness. Light. More light than usual just unraveled his mind a little.

When I stood up, I understood the enormity of the dragon. But not enough to compare it to Zalwarn's guardian dragon. Compared to that, everything would look smaller, and I wouldn't mean it as a black dragon. The Guardian Dragon, anyway, was a tremendous enormity.

The dragon seemed to think of something in silence.

"... you can't have me, but you are. Setsuna, my half."

"Half... right, half"

Reverse the dragon's words and nod with a sense of reality.

"Not bad."

At those times, I felt the dragon laugh. I just felt it, maybe I wasn't really laughing, but I don't care about that.

Because the dream ends.

The moment I opened my lid, it was the face of a woman I knew well who jumped into my eyes. Dark hair that dissolves in darkness and dark eyes that are not visible such as light. A neat face like a cute little girl doll made her age unknown. According to the story, he was close to Faria's age, but he didn't look very much like that. I guess it's a good example that you shouldn't judge by appearance alone.

"What the fuck?"

Setuna, pointing her mouth at the tip, tried to get rid of her face. In the dark, as the woman let go of her face, she seemed to laugh a little. I guess a small voice is a consideration that doesn't leave anything asleep.

"I thought it was something to sleep in."

"That's right. That's all I worked for. Nobody should be complaining about sleeping a little bit."

"I'm not complaining. Your husband's sleeping face is adorable, and I don't hate him."

"If you open your mouth, all you can say is sarcasm or joke."

Setuna didn't honestly take her word for it.

Was it because I had been asleep the whole time, my tiredness remained in my body. The verses hurt. Myalgia is also a sign of flirting with the power of black spears. The power, even if controlled, is too great a strain on Setuna's body and mind. That's why I fell asleep like my battery was dead.

"I won... huh?

"Yes, thanks to your husband's work, the Zibel Assault Army was able to control Saidlock safely, depending on how we are all resting slowly."

"Right. I'm relieved to hear that."

Responding appropriately, Setuna floated a question mark.

Sleeping breath, I could hear it right around the corner. If you knock your head down slightly to the side, a redhead enters your vision. Miliu is stuck on the bunk. Apparently, if I was seeing Setuna tightly, I'd fall asleep. It's only speculation, but I couldn't think of any other reason.

Setuna cautiously raised her upper body so as not to wake Miliu. The muscles in your body scream. As a result of the terrible use of the flesh in the battle ahead. I just have to spoil it and accept it. But we could have won. The fact that we were able to contribute to the victory was enough.

Rem sat on his pillow. She always sleeps as if the power went off, but when she wakes up, she starts escorting Setuna instantly, so I'm surprised. It meant I would spare no effort to complete my mandate, and I couldn't hate that about her.

There's no reason to dislike people who try to play their part. Even if it was detrimental to Setuna.

(Surveillance mission named Escort?)

The dragon has been warned that it is always seen. That just means that Rem is watching Setuna. Of course, that's what I knew from the beginning. Reaper Zero Craig Zem-Midnas presented Leongand with a proposal to use her as an escort for Setuna in order to handle the Lem invasion, he said.

Gibelle's soul and guts to explore Setsuna's weaknesses by accompanying him as an escort at 46: 00 were clear at that point. Still, I accepted Gibbell's suggestion because I had the thought that keeping one of the Reaper units at hand might reveal the full extent of the Reaper unit, which was considered a secret among Gibbell's. What is the Reaper Squad, and to what extent is the power of Reaper? Thinking about the future, I've never been over to know.

Nevertheless, by joining the battlefield as a Zibel assault army, one end of Reaper's abilities could be known. I guess there was a decision in Reaper Squad that it wasn't enough to hide, but Setuna couldn't tell if its peculiar ability was the ability to summon an armed man or an alien expressed by being treated with a foreign law.

Watching the side of Reaper in the dark. The word "beautiful girl" is the side of a woman who looks good without a hanging. I don't see one scratch, either, thanks to the mask on the battlefield.

Her strengths as the Reaper were stronger than those of the armed summoners seconded by the Continental Summoners Association, not to mention the general soldiers and Lución's soldiers, although they lag behind such good armed summoners as Faria, Miliu and Ruufa. And in her case, you can fight between her and Reaper. Based on that point, he might have shown comparable power to the Phalia and the others.

The silence is lying. All I could hear was Miliu's healthy sleep, which seemed to deepen the silence.

Setsuna doesn't hate silence. Instead, I didn't like having conversations. And now Setuna has enough spiritual leeway to just enjoy the silence. Fatigue, but not unbearable.

Eventually, Lem noticed Setuna's gaze, and he turned his face over here.

"Is there something on my face?

"No, that's not it"

"So you were able to see it?

Setuna affirmed small because Rem has been making fun of him.

"Might be"

She didn't say anything back. Maybe it wasn't what Setuna's response expected, or maybe it's because she's thinking about how we should make fun of her. Nothing is harder to read than Rem's thought circuit. No, there's probably nothing more stupid than trying to figure out what others are thinking.

Miliu is easy to understand. For some reason, she has a verse that puts Setuna first. It's second only to none except Setuna, which is why it seems easy to clash with Lem. And Faria. Well, I get it. She had made her mission a top priority, but with that mission lost, she began to think about her job first. Ruufa is something similar, but in his case, loyalty to the royal family is stronger and deeper than work. Looks like that's where my family and my girlfriend, Emil-Lizil, get into it.

So what about yourself?

I think about it, but in the end, it called for vanity to settle into a place where I had nothing.

"I was in love with your husband too."

"Heh."

"You're more like a reaper than a reaper to kill the Imperial Devil."

"Even Reapers might not kill so much."

Setsuna laughed mocking herself. I'm so sick of killing you. People and demons are killing each other to the point of boredom. I will continue to kill you. Unless Gandia stops that hegemony, unless Setuna's life is lost, unless it burns out.

Rem didn't seem to like Setuna's reaction.

"Yet how can you not despair"

"You care about that?

"Yeah. 'Cause isn't that fair?

"What?"

Setsuna doesn't know what Rem is saying. Lem seems to know about it, too, and she's smiling mean. And you're going to come quietly.

"We are all in despair. Kanagi, Siul, Gosh, everyone. I lost everything, I despaired... and Craig picked me up and I became Reaper."

Rem's monologue continues.

"We wield our power as reapers, we kill them, and each time we deepen our despair. That's the essence of us reapers. You're not. If we don't despair, we haven't even given up on the future. You're supposed to be walking the same bloody road."

"So don't you like it?

"Right. I'm sure it is..."

"I don't know, it's a discretionary story"

Setuna looked to heaven at the selfishness of Rem's words. I can see the high ceiling in the dark.

"But that's human, isn't it?

"Wasn't it Reaper?

"Speaking of which... right. It's weird."

To Setuna's point, she was decent. Then he held his thin knee and buried his face between his knees.

"I am Reaper, and I should have stopped being human..."

It is obvious that her guard against Rem is diminished because she is too defenseless to show such things as hostility and malice towards Setuna, but other than that, she may not seem to be acting as a watchdog. It just seems that way, maybe I'm actually keeping a close eye on Setuna, and I shouldn't be distracted.

(I know that...)

Setsuna stroked Miliu's hair and then looked sideways at Rem.

A worrying side of the girl was floating in the dark.
