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

Episode 757: The Leaving of the Reaper (3)

"My lord, what the hell are you talking to me about?

And when he was put through the office, Rem asked.

"Sit down and pay first. We have time. Why don't we take our time?"

What Hermine pointed out was a chair installed opposite his desk.

In the broad office, besides her, there was only one Hermaine-Sector who would divide anything of the national government into Gibelle's generals. I know this is his way of showing good faith. Because when there are other people, they may not be able to talk or talk.

Many of the fine dishes were just the office of a general of a country. It's a familiar space, and nothing particularly novel. Hermine had no taste in decorating loot, nor was it much, such as loot in the Kruselk War. It is also significant that looting and robbery were prohibited.

"What's up?

Suddenly asked, Rem put a question mark in his head. Then I remembered that Hermine was encouraging me to sit in a chair.

"No. I won't let you. I don't have much time."

"Why?

"We have to go through the process of disbanding the Reapers."

When Rem told him with a cool face, just Hermine also blued his face.

"What a fool."

"Your Excellency is the one who reclaimed the Reaper Troop with what in mind. Reaper troops could be badly impressed by other countries by that name alone. If Gibbel is going down the path of evil and treachery, I won't stop him."

That said, even if Gibbel had begun to rebuild the Reaper unit for such reasons, she would have tried to crush it with all her might.

Reaper Squad is her youth.

Whatever the raison d 'être or philosophy of the troops, it is an indisputable fact that she was pouring everything into herself there. She thought it was a speech break, such as being used for Hermine's thoughts.

"Reaper Squad is Gibbell's strongest battle group. Though we have made a stigma in history, we cannot erase it..."

"If Your Excellency can't do it, I'll erase it."

"... are you serious"

"Yes. The Reaper Squad should disappear from history with this time today. If Gibbel is clean, we should not leave behind an organization that smells like Craig Zem-Midnas."

"That's... yes... but..."

Hermine's reaction was something that couldn't be boiled down. Maybe it's because the story is moving in a completely different direction than his thoughts. Whatever his thoughts were, Rem wasn't going to allow the Reapers to survive, and he was willing to do everything possible to crush the Reapers. If Hermine doesn't respond, just use an outside person and get pressure on him.

Rem was not necessarily bound by the fact that he would wipe out the Reaper troops with his own power. If we can erase the existence of a Reaper unit, we are prepared to use it even if it is the power of others. And I also know that if you just move one person, Hermine won't be able to silence you either.

"Don't worry about me. Whether there's a Reaper unit or not, there's no place for me."

"... you're going to Gandhia"

Hermine looked bitter when Rem told him. Rem replies with a smile.

"Technically, go to Uncle Enjour."

"What happened with Uncle Setuna?"

"If you want to know, tell me too"

"What?"

The kind of face that chewed down Hermine's bitter bug was not worthy of a famous general entrusted with even Gibbel's national government. You don't know why he's holding Rem that far. Rem belonged to a unit that holds Gibbell's secret: the Reaper Unit. You can't give someone like that to another country. What's more, I guess I'm even buying Rem's high level of combat power. Now that the Reaper Troops are devastated, it is more obvious than seeing fire that with Lem gone, Zibel's military power will be extremely reduced.

Rem did not lose his power, although it was the Reaper mask given to Craig that he lost. You can call the Reaper without a mask. That may be because the power to bind her soul has become more powerful.

Setsuna is better than Craig.

That's somehow understandable.

When Craig ruled me, it was different in mind than when Setuna ruled me.

"How far does Your Excellency know about Craig Zem-Midnas?

"... I know the approximate. What do you want to know about Craig? If you know what, you're satisfied."

"There's nothing to be satisfied with, but I want to know what you need to know, that's all"

"... Craig Zem-Midnas was the black hope that suddenly appeared in this country. He used the power of his subpoena only for His Majesty's sake. For the creation of His Majesty's kingdom, he used the power of the Reaper. It was only for His Majesty that we created the Reaper Corps."

"He suddenly appeared... you know who he is, don't you?

"So what? You want me to tell you who I am?

"No...... I don't want to know. I was just wondering. It was as if Captain Craig had never existed before."

"... oh, you're right. He came out of nowhere."

Never expecting Hermine to affirm, Rem narrowed his eyes. It's hard to believe he's lying. I was sure I was telling the truth. Except that's not everything.

"Did you think it was ridiculous to trust something that suddenly appeared? But it's true. And there were enough reasons to trust it. I had to trust you. That's why I have enough. Doubt leads me to deny myself"

In Hermine's words, Lem shook his head as he grabbed Craig's identity as he blurted. If you keep talking like this, you might find out who you are. I didn't want to know who Craig Zem-Midnas was. He should remain the captain in his memory. There was nothing more to leave as part of an important memory than to do so.

"So is it true that you didn't know about Craig's plan?

"About the plan to kill Uncle Setuna, huh? Many times, it's the truth that I didn't know. Craig had a lot of secrets. I didn't talk about anything that mattered, didn't reveal it, stayed hidden within, and acted. His actions had nothing but to contribute to the country. I have to be silent."

"The result led to his rampage," he said.

"Runaway... Right, Runaway"

Maybe Hermine laughed coldly because she wanted to laugh at herself for not being able to stop Craig from rambling.

Nevertheless, Rem knows.

His plan to kill Setuna and take in the power of the Black Spear, if successful, was still for Gibbell. Setuna said Craig's dark black mask could have become overwhelming by taking in the power of the black spear as it was. In that case, Gibbel is cheap. There was also the possibility of attacking the neighbouring countries and becoming more powerful than Gandhia. Craig's taking action may also have been natural in a way.

But I failed.

It was his defeat that led to the rebellion of the Reapers of the Reapers.

If Craig had stood around better, Setuna might have died and also succeeded in destroying the black spear.

"Anything else you want to know?

"Right. Nothing more special."

There was nothing I wanted to know, but the fear that if I looked any further, I might get to Craig's identity held her prying. Besides, knowing Craig's relationship with Hermine has nothing to do with the rest of his life.

In the past, I was going to leave you at Gibbel's.

"Okay, let me hear it. Why are you going to Uncle Setuna?"

"Because it has become all I have."

"... what do you mean?

"That's all my Lord has changed from Captain Craig to Uncle Setuna. Humans, don't you take it for granted that you feel beneficial for what has saved your life?

"Do you mean abandon your country for benevolence?"

"You shouldn't use the word country to bind me."

Rem poured his chilling gaze on Hermine. Perhaps the famous general was too ruthless in his gaze. At least not because I had hopeless eyes.

Despair, disappeared and lost.

"For me, this country is nothing but a country born and raised."

Born, raised and truncated.

Only thirteen short years of life.

Rem was just a little surprised to notice that he was no longer feeling hopeless about the landscape of death that floated behind his brain as well. Surprisingly, I quit before Hermine. He no longer held back. Nor will we try to stop the disbandment of the Reapers. That's it. Hermine, while holding his head, should think of a way forward. He's the famous general who made Gibbel so strong. You don't have to rely on the name Reaper Squad to do it right.

You must not be tied to the past.

Exit the General's office and proceed through the hallway. Palace of Le Vail, capital of Gibelle. The days I spent as a member of the Reaper Squad rock like a Yangtze and disappear. He ran around the palace with his rhufu, and Craig scolded him once. I've broken into the samurai's room with Kanagi, or I've explored the palace with the Gosh.

The palace is packed with memories.

But you can't stop your leg. Everything is over. It's over, it's past. Don't let them pull your legs.

Swirling inside Rem's chest was nothing but the thought of ending things quickly and leaving Gibelle.

I have a burning feeling.

Quick, again, I want to hear that voice. All the time, I want to hear it.

"Rem."

In desperate solitude, the voice that destroyed everything was nothing but light.

And by being called by name, her soul, floating in the universe, was able to return to the existence of Lem. I raised my voice three times.

Would Hermine have laughed at me when it came to hearing his voice, etc. the biggest reason to go to him?

Two, with that in mind, she smiled bitterly.
