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

February 11th.

Setsuna woke up. It's the next day.

Setuna is falling asleep again after she has spoken to Rem. I wanted to hear a little more from her, but the accumulated fatigue forced Setuna to sleep. The reassurance that he could sleep even in front of Rem definitely inspired his sleeping appetite. It is no longer possible for her to put Setuna's sleeping neck on. There seemed to be no need to think about the possibility that she would seek her own death and kill Setuna at the moment.

I never dreamed in that sleep. I had a deep sleep.

When I woke up again, it was Miliu, Faria, Ruufa, Maria and Emil who jumped into my sight. The face of "The Lion's Tail" was gathered in response to Rem's report. I guess Lem ran to pay off.

"Good......! Really good!

Miliu, who had held him first, was even in tears. I've been asleep for four days. I definitely worried, and I thought maybe it was natural for her to be anxious. With such a girlfriend on her ass, Faria called her blush.

I didn't think you were worried.

"Hey Faria!

"Well, the captain woke up safe and sound, isn't it good?"

Ruufa takes between us. The bandage-wrapped left arm was painful, but there seems to be no other traumatic trauma. Speaking of trauma, neither Faria nor Miliu are intact. Miliu remained bandaged around his head, and Falia was scratched. Combat personnel and intact are about Rem's. Setuna was also full of creativity and the pain ran just a little motion. Maybe I need to be a little more at rest.

Naturally, Maria and Emil, who were in the rear, are intact. It's a battle with countless wounded. It can't have been busy, and Maria and her assistant Emil, who are supposed to be the exclusive military doctors of The Lion's Tail, are also hearing stories before the Zenokis Fortress War about how active they were in pulling fees everywhere. In fact, maybe I didn't even have time to sleep. Maria had blemishes in her eyes, and Emil was exhausted.

Everyone is tired. Still acting fine, maybe because everyone hates losing. That's what the Lion's Tail was all about.

"You're right about that."

"You're right, what's up?"

"Don't you give me that? My pretty face is ruined."

"Well, I'm not glad they said that."

Though the words had pushed her away, it was obvious to anyone's eyes that she was happy to be praised by Faria, enough that even Maria, who always looked somewhere grumpy, would laugh. Whether Miliu feels happy to be in such a soothing circle. It's a little hard to read from that look.

As such, Setsuna was relieved that Lion's Tail could have gotten here without anyone, and she thought it was natural.

The Lion's Tail is Gandhia's strongest combat unit.

Restoration work on the Zenokis Fortress is underway, one by one.

It is a task at the hands of a handful of artisans residing in the fortress, and it seems difficult to say what full-scale construction is. To get the numbers in line, it has to be after the war is completely over. That means it'll be a while longer.

Setsuna came out of the room with Maria's permission. Though I had pain just walking, I had mood swings, and more importantly, I was pressed to move my muscles. My body is starting to get lazy. As it was, the fear that the muscles that I had begun to follow would fall drove Setuna out. Nevertheless, the range of mobility is limited to the interior of the temporary hospital in the fortress. It would mean within Maria's reach.

The hypothetical hospital was the building itself in the western province, where only those injured in the Zenokis fortress battle who were judged to be seriously injured were brought in, treated and striving to recover. Some of them took their lives, like Setuna, others they couldn't help. What the hell separates the living from the dead? Secondly, I must think about that because there were things that made me think about life and death.

How many died and how many survived the battle of Zenokis Fortress?

The exact numbers are unknown, but it's not hard to imagine a large number of deaths. With greater power, we could have ended this battle without letting a single war victim out.

That's the biggest reason Setsuna wants power.

Too many victims, albeit necessary for victory.

The number of dead throughout the Kruselk war would be in excess of thousands. Though the opponent was an Imperial Demon and was a difficult enemy to confront in a regular person. Could Setuna have sacrificed less if she had aroused it?

Maybe that's how you think, because you're witnessing the tragedy of the Xenokis Fortress.

Some of the Zenokis fortress had been completely extinguished by the light of God. Some of the walls and castles have vanished beautifully. It's not like destruction. I erased it. I can see just by looking at it how powerful the power of what is called God is. Setuna and black spears do not extend to the end. It might not even be possible to resist.

"You better not think of much."

"Mmm..."

"If you had more power... you'd be thinking about it. He looked like that now."

Faria's voice was slightly gentle. The tenderness stabs me in the chest. Fighting on the Linen Plains, she could have been extinguished by God's light. If that had happened, Setsuna, that might have been what she was desperate for. At least it won't be done.

Setuna and the others are on the second floor of the hypothetical hospital. Just Setuna, Faria and Miliu. Miliu has his eyes closed, clinging to Setuna's left arm. I don't know what you're thinking, but I'm probably in the mood for silence right now.

Faria stood next to Setuna to the right and looked at the fortress in the same way. Rin's side feels like he can watch forever. No, it's not my fault. You'll be able to watch for hours, but if you do that, you'll just get half-eyed stuck in Faria.

Maria and Emil were busy getting killed at work, and Ruufa had a role in Ruufa. Silfed feathers are too convenient to travel within a fortress. Rem was on a sentry mission outside the fortress. By the way, that means she was admitted to be on Setuna's side by Hermine's special provisions. Of course, it sounds like we're talking about a period of time until Kruselk's calm.

"... Mr. Quor is dead."

"... yeah. I knew it somehow. 'Cause if you're safe, it's going to fly from anywhere, him. I couldn't think of anything other than that he wouldn't show up because there was something strange about Linendall."

Faria took a deep breath. A deep, heavy breath, unlike a sigh.

"You're not saying that's your fault, are you? If that's the case, there's no mistake. Even Malik-Majik of the Four Great Heavenly Samurai couldn't defeat a ghost with your spear. I had to get close at all costs. We had to rely on Quor's wings to get close."

"... I know. But"

"But if I had the strength? If you have the power, what? You're saying you could have defeated a ghost from Waydrid? Take the joke off, too. No matter how powerful you were, unless you had the means to get close to the ghost, you couldn't take them down. If you had wings other than Quor, you wouldn't have been able to get close."

That, too, is clear.

It was only with Ravens Feather's super-accelerating ability that I was able to get through that barrage of light. Still, Quor had to be scratched. Even Quor couldn't have approached an attack range without being ready to die. There is no other way. Even if it did, it's unclear if we could have defeated the giant ghost.

Even Setuna can't say enough that she defeated a giant ghost. but that's a different story. I can't imagine God emerging from among the giant ghosts, etc.

"Quor's death was never in vain. You defeated the giant ghost. [M] At the very least, we were able to avoid the worst that the Allied forces would destroy in a giant ghost attack because Quor and Setuna stopped the giant ghost. There's no way that death for that matter is meaningless."

Faria was going as if to tell herself. I don't know deep down what Quol-Ethen was like for her. But I even knew him better than he was in childhood, and he knew that he was one of those people who studied armed subpoenas in the same classroom, and he understood that Quor had a crush on Faria.

It was Setuna who entrusted Falia to that Quor.

"Setuna is strong enough. Sure, your skill as an armed summoner doesn't extend far to the four heavenly samurai, but you're the only one who can use the black spear. Only you could stop that giant ghost. Because of that, the Allies won."

"Guys, that's what you're saying"

There were a number of people who left the room and went so far, but there was no one left to praise Setuna for his battle, and some even said that the Allied victory was Setuna. I don't feel bad about being praised, but I also thought it was just a little too much praise. I don't remember making enough of a praiseworthy battle. In the end, the giant ghost couldn't be defeated. God, who has emerged from within the giant ghost, has escaped, and his overwhelming power has caused the coalition a great deal of damage. Neither that nor this, is Setuna's lapse?

When Setuna says that, he can only keep his thoughts in his chest because it causes anxiety around him. If I could talk, it would be like Leongand or Nares. but neither Leongand nor Nahless are in this Zenokis fortress. Most of the coalition leaders were paying for the Zenokis fortress.

Maybe Falia looked somewhat like she had given up because she didn't think Setsuna was accepting the rating.

'Cause you're right.'

"... but you're not satisfied. I should be able to use it better. It doesn't have to extend to Malik-Majik to be able to draw more power."

"Right. Setsuna is a great place to rush out as an armed summoner. We can be strong now."

Faria's harsh and warm words make me feel comfortable.

"But don't be in a hurry. If you hurry, you won't get any good results."

"... I'll remember your liver."

"Honest and good"

"That's the assistant captain."

"Hehe... there's nothing to praise, Captain"

That's how her smile directed at us was an unparalleled reward for Setuna.
