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

In April.

The war in Kruselk is over, and not many days after his triumph over the King's capital.

The days of being busily killed by post-war processing continue.

I've spent all my time preparing reports on the Kruselk war, and my workouts have kept up with me. Still, I don't miss my bow training every morning, but that's not the only problem I can handle. We need to build up more training. I had to get a little stronger and reduce his burden.

That would be my mission and my role as assistant captain.

There were voices saying that just being in charge of the clerical process was enough to ease the burden, and that the captain would appreciate it, but as far as she was concerned, that was not enough. You can hire an expert if you only want to do business. But there's no room for clerical experts or anything like that in The Lion's Tail. No, even if there's room, it's unnecessary as the color of the squad.

The Royal SS "Lion's Tail" is in a special position among the three Royal SS.

The other two teams - The Lion's Fang and The Lion's Claw - can be said to play their part by being close to the King. The Lion's Fang in particular is the king's shield. King Leongand's sight protection is the role it plays. There's nothing wrong with having a clerical expert in the squad.

But The Lion's Tail is different.

"The Lion's Tail," he said, is the king's will.

Neither the king's sword nor the king's shield.

A guerrilla force ravaging the battlefield, as the king wills.

That was The Lion's Tail.

All that makes up the squad are armed summoners. Starting with captain Setuna Zenon Lars-Enjour, deputy captain Ruufa Zenon-Bargasar, squadron member Miliu-Lebayen, and captain assistant Faria Berfaria-Aslalia. Plus, it was The Lion's Tail that added two military doctors, Maria-Skole and assistant Emil-Lizil.

"As much as I have to handle my affairs, I have to do it alone."

Stretch and regain your temper.

The break was about to end.

"Uh... excuse me"

Ruufa seemed sorry. It's the building hall. Ruufa was talking to Emil.

I seem sorry because he's hurt. He's broken his left hand in the battle ahead. I hope it's almost healed by now, just wrapping it around with a bandage is enough, but I couldn't force it to make the symptoms worse.

"You don't have to worry about it. If you could just plug it in once in a while."

"Doesn't that mean you care?"

"Oh, didn't you hear that?

"I knew I had it in my roots..."

"That's not true. Just kidding, kidding."

When Faria laughed, Ruufa and Emil looked relieved. No matter, that would be a joke too. There's no way I'm actually taking it seriously.

I can't even entrust Miliu, a general squad member, with the importance of the squad. Even though the question remains whether she can do clerical work.

"Master!

The voices I heard echoed inside the building. That's all I know who it is. In the first place, few ordinary people are allowed in and out of the Lion's Tail building.

"Where is the master -!

The voice of cheerfulness itself is that just listening creates vibrancy, but the content of the words being uttered caught on.

"Master?"

"What master?

"Come on?"

Faria and the others looked at each other and waited for the Lord of the Voices to bring their feet into the hall. She's bound to come to the hall. The hall is often manned by squadrons. Even that, she should have understood.

She was visiting the Lion's Tail building as she did every day. At first, I thought Setsuna was after me.

A girl glanced at the entrance and exit of the hall. Even the long hair is adorable to shake. Elina-Carone. Since Karan, she's a girl with whom Setuna and I have made friends. He is also a distant friend of Faria's age.

"Sister Faria, don't you know where your master is!

"Who's the master?

"Oh, my master is my master!

"... I guess you don't mean Miliu"

When Faria thought and inquired, she was angry.

"What are you talking about!

"... right"

I'm relieved. It may be a mistake to remember that Miliu taught Elina how to summon armed men.

"Miliu, it can't be anything but your sister. Oh!

"... oh, you mean that way"

Convinced, I float my hips out of my chair stunned.

"What do you mean!?

"Huh?

"So you, Elina, have been apprenticed to Miliu!?

Stuffed by the girl, she nodded rather proudly.

"Yeah!"

"Yeah! No, I'm not! What are you thinking?

"I want to help your brother!

Neither did Elina beat Faria's fury at all. Powerful, he says away with his eyes shining. That blindness may not be what Faria has lost. I can hear Ruufa and Emil.

"Pure..."

"You're as pure as an eyelid..."

I agree with both of you, and I think that would be great.

"I don't mind being pure, but you know what it means to be a disciple to Miliu?

"I know! Go for the armed summoner!

"... why not. There are other ways to help."

Faria dropped her shoulder because she knows how dangerous the road is to an armed summoner. That's what I understand through myself. It was hard just to master the technique, and it wasn't easy to be able to manipulate as much as you would like to subpoena armed. Even Aurora Storm, which I have been using for many years, has recently discovered new abilities.

Elina didn't look away, she looked at this one. I know as much about my resolve as I do about being strong.

"I thought about it, too. All sorts of things, but I've come to the conclusion that to help your brother, there's nothing but entering the Lion's Tail."

"... I see"

"The Lion's Tail is an army of armed summoners. It's pervasive."

"Are you impressed?"

Ruufa's words would be everything.

It was a compelling reason. I don't think getting into The Lion's Tail is the only way, but if there's any more way we can help Setuna, it's the hard part. There doesn't seem to be anything other than going into the Gandhian army and going for the path of a warrior or becoming a general to support him. And those two paths are steeper and closer to impossible than becoming an armed summoner.

"Faria, is your sister against you?

"I disagree. I disagree. But I'm not going to stop it."

"Really!?

"Yeah. It's your life. You just have to like it. It won't be worth stopping."

Elina's determination is strong, and her thoughts are intense. Blinkingly pure. Where Faria disagreed, she wouldn't stop walking, and there's nothing more stupid than stopping what she started walking. The life of others. Nor is it good to interfere strongly.

"But that's all I'm gonna say. The path of an armed summoner is tougher and farther than you think. If you really want to help Setsuna, remember that you need to be prepared."

Faria just told me that. Never a strong tone, but not a gentle voice either. To convey your thoughts seriously, you have to want them with the right attitude.

That is also the very word I conveyed to her.

"I know! Because my master tells me to be tougher!

Elina seemed happy, but she took it very seriously.

"Miliu..."

After crushing blindly, I'm convinced.

(Oh well. Miliu.)

No one will have more intense emotions for an armed summoner than Miliu-Lebaen. She had to become an armed summoner to survive. He studied and mastered the art of armed summons in an extraordinarily harsh and miserable hell than Faria and Ruufa. If she did, she wouldn't let Erina walk the wrong way, and she would lead us to the armed summoner in the right way.

It was no use worrying.

I stroke my chest down and look down at Elina.

She had an old fashioned book. I guess I'm starting with studying ancient languages. This is the first step in an armed subpoena.

"By the way, where is the master!

"Miliu would be at the Royal Palace. With Setuna."

Setuna has a lem on her, but she followed her on the grounds that she was anxious to be a lem alone. Erina dropped her shoulder disappointingly.

"Oh no..."

"We'll be at the royal palace in a while. You'll follow me, won't you?

"Are you sure!?

"Absolutely. The future Lion's Tail."

In Faria's words, Elina's face shines brightly. Naturally, Elina is not eligible to ascend, but if she were to ascend as a squire of Assistant Captain Lion's Tail, there would be nothing wrong with that. The position of Lion's Tail, captained by a hero, is extremely strong in the Royal Palace.

"Until then, you should ask Ruufa to teach you."

"What, me!?

"He is also an excellent armed summoner. There's no harm in learning. Now, suppose I go back to work? If we don't clean up soon, we may not make it."

"Thank you kindly, sister!

"It's okay. We're not friends."

"Yeah!"

The girl's reply, like a lump of energy, gave Faria the strength to fight. Maybe that's why Setsuna decided she could go in and out of the Lion's Tail building. The space with Elina was always full of life.

"So thank you, Interim Master!

"A temporary master..."

I heard Ruufa crush like she couldn't keep up with Erina's momentum.
