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

"Because you're here... what the hell!

Sheila's cry was the best.

Setsuna alone, nothing will happen.

Her desire is not to be filled by Setsuna alone. Her wishes, her wishes, are pure. Purely, he just wanted to go home on a peaceful day with his family. That's what they say is lost. Just because Setsuna is there, what can you do?

Setuna, even if she knew it, couldn't have stopped walking. Fill in the distance from her one by one.

Sheila, don't move. Maybe I can't move. If she moves from the center of this different space, maybe this world itself will collapse away. Even now, different sounds are sounding in different worlds. It's like the world breaks.

I'll protect you.

"I don't want to be protected...!

Sheila screamed instantly. She keeps screaming. Ever since Setuna showed up in front of her, she keeps screaming. Even if it doesn't scream, it's a scream. Heart scream. Soul screaming. Crying.

"I want to be killed! I want to die...!

Crying is shaking the world. White world. The world created by Sheila's Nine Tails. It may also have been natural to shake as Sheila's emotions fluctuated.

"You promised. No matter what happens, I'll protect you."

Promises are pounding Setuna. If you don't remember growing up to be someone who could easily break the promises you made once, there's no reason to rebel your promises.

"Why... oh, my God!

"Promise's a man of protection, I am."

"Why can't you just say that all the time! You're not worth protecting about me!

"It's up to me to decide if it's worth it"

Setsuna said it out unilaterally.

And you're mine.

"Become..."

"Isn't that right? When it's all over, it'll be mine. In the first place, Sheila of the Black Beasts is one of my men, and my men's lives are mine."

Then I saw her face flashing.

"So, bring him back"

"Ha..."

Sheila laughed as she thrust away. I laughed and pointed the tip of the axe spear at this one. Heart of Beast. A very powerful summoning weapon. No one must have imagined that they had enough power to cause so many phenomena.

"How cool are you? It's the only way to protect me."

Sheila kicked the ground. The world rocks. Shake hard. The center of the world has moved. It was also natural for the world to tremble violently. Gaps were created in various parts of the world, like the inside of the sphere, and when I wondered if the outer light had entered, it was immediately repaired. Apparently, the spherical world built by the Nine Tails works any modification.

"I destroyed everything!

Her distance from Sheila disappeared instantly, and the moment she was in time, her axe spear shook down. Rapid slaughter. Eat it and die instantly. But you can't eat it. Given what she wants, it's natural.

Setuna nodded as she gazed at the Heart of Beast trajectory, which cut her vision in two.

"Right."

"Are you going to turn the whole world against your enemies!?

She stepped in further as she swirled her empty axe spear. An empty time. What rolls out is poking. A poke aimed at the face. The cut slipped away in front of me. Flow left. Pain. Axe blade, ripped shallow cheeks. Even if I can't kill you, I can hurt you. If you want to hurt me, I can. Sheila's eyes were like that in the dark. If you don't hurry, you'll get hurt more, too.

Seeing where there was no ragna fence would have determined that it could not be fatal, or that the magic was depleted. If the latter, it means we can't rely on him for a while.

"Only a small part of us turn to the enemy."

Setsuna said, and let her spread her arms. Sheila flies a little and jumps out slightly. Follow.

"What are you talking about?

I approached her with a question mark and hugged her. The only way to poke a void is to act like you would never normally. Whisper.

Sheila, you're sweet.

"Ha!?

I wonder which way Sheila raised her bare voice against Setuna's words and actions. Maybe both. Either way, they could have made a void. Sheila strengthens her whole body, I see.

"You destroyed both the royal palace and the king's capital, and you ravaged the battlefield. That and this to get me killed. Am I right?

"Oh yes..."

"But you knew it was for you. For your own good. You despise doing something for yourself."

Conversely, for someone, a woman named Sheila was prepared to sip muddy water. I don't mean most of the time. Not most people.

"... because it is the duty of the king"

Sheila called it a blur.

'Cause that's what I taught you.

She is raised as a prince, from childhood to mid-teens. Prince, raised as heir to the throne, means she was educated to be the person she deserved as Abard's next king. The idea of giving precedence to others over self leads to the idea of giving precedence to the matter of nations and peoples. That's what Sheila thinks herself. No matter how exhausted you are, you can fight as much for your country as you want for your people. That was Sheila. It is also the biggest factor in the fact that she has gained support from the people and that the Sheila faction has become so powerful that it bisects the country. It's ironic because action for the country, for the people, tore the country apart as a result and tormented the people, but it's not about who's wrong.

"So I couldn't kill anyone"

"Huh...?

Sheila gives you a face.

"I didn't think you'd notice."

"What are you talking about?

"You destroyed the royal palace and the king's capital, but you didn't kill anyone."

"No... there's no way there's such a thing!

Sheila exclaimed stunned. Screaming, away from Setuna. The world rocked. For a moment, the outside light enters. It's instantaneous. It will be repaired soon and the world will be closed again.

In fact, there was no way.

It's not usually possible, such as not having the dead come out as one, with all that massive destruction going on. It wasn't even conceivable. Even if you weren't caught in the nine tails or feet of a white fox, or if you didn't get a direct hit, you're not supposed to be crushed by a collapsed building or rubble, and it can't be that the dead aren't. Even if a miracle happens, there can't be any dead.

But as a matter of reality, nothing has died because of the royal palace, the king's capital, and the fox of the Nine Tails on this battlefield. There were no dead people in Setuna's sensing range enhanced by black spears, so there's no doubt about it first. There are numerous dead people on the battlefield. But those dead, ravaged by nine-tailed foxes, did not die. Those who died in the battle until then, and those who died in the attack of the Nine-Tailed Fox were not alone. I felt strange not to be alone in all that fierceness, but given Sheila's character, I didn't even take it for granted.

Sheila extremely hates that someone will sacrifice for herself.

I guess the ultimate is the behavior of the Nine-Tailed Fox.

Sheila wanted Setuna to be willing to kill herself. I wanted to make you think there was no other option than to kill me. If we do not, Setuna will continue to protect us. Setuna and Ragna will continue to protect it. Then I won't die. So I tried to do as much as I could with the atrocities. By doing so, Setuna was going to have to kill Sheila.

But Sheila decided that even that was a personal wish.

I can't involve many others in my personal wishes, and also the Aberd people to love. That's what you're going to deny yourself all the time. It's like mudding over what you've done with your life. That can't even be done by the proud Sheila.

So I couldn't kill him.

As one, I couldn't kill him.

Minor injuries were done to the collapsed buildings and to one of the rubble's underlings, also because the power of the Nine-Tailed Fox protected them. We were destroying and protecting at the same time, that is.

At that time, you might not have noticed if Setsuna had only turned her consciousness to the Nine-Tailed Fox. If you hadn't noticed, you might have tried to kill Sheila. If you have no other choice, you have no choice but to do so. Even if someone cursed me or resented me, I would have killed him. If I have to, I will. But if you don't have to, if you don't have a reason to, I don't want to kill you as much as I can. That was Setuna's way of thinking.

I've killed so much I've been tired of it.

Like Sheila said, I've taken countless lives.

That's why I want to save the life I can save to the fullest.

Maybe it's hypocrisy.

Even so, I don't mind.

"There it is."

"It's a lie...!

Sheila screamed instantly. It must be incredible to her. That, I know. It became all those giant beasts and razed around. There can't be no dead. Everybody thinks so. Even Setsuna, I almost thought so. I even wondered if Sheila had abandoned herself and destroyed everything and committed the killing. In fact, she did nothing but destroy and kill one. At least none of them died because of the nine-tailed fox.

So Setuna stares gently at Sheila.

"I'm not lying. It's true. Sheila, you didn't kill anyone."

"Lying, lying, lying...!

"Why, do you think it's a lie?

"There's no way there's no dead after all that"

"Do you remember killing him?

"Huh..."

"If the Fox of Nine Tails were you, you'd remember to crush one of them."

"I..."

Sheila looked down at her hand. There's just a heart of beast in that hand. Heart of Beast, naturally, is not stained with blood. It just looks like a flashy decorated axe spear.

"I didn't kill him. Who's alone? So there's nothing wrong with bringing you back."

"No problem? That's not true..."

Sheila shook her head to the side. I shook my hair and tried to hold my head. And I'm gonna stare at this one. Dark eyes. What seemed to begin to dwell in the vain, eyes that should have had no emotions whatsoever. Maybe the fact that I didn't kill him was too shocking.

"You said it. I'm tired. I want to die..."

Sheila was, indeed, tired. They were caught up, tormented, pushed to the bottom of disillusionment and despair. You'll also get tired. You will also mourn. You'll want to die, too. They unleashed the power of Heart of Beast in such a state of mind, and they stormed around. I can't imagine how much it would cost to move all that power.

She is unnecessarily mentally caught up because she abandoned herself and used the power of the Summoning Army.

"Even if I didn't kill anyone, it doesn't matter. I want to die."

"So you were waiting for me to come?

"... yeah"

"Why, it's me?

"It has to be you, not you."

"Why?"

Setsuna asked quietly. I didn't have to rush her answer. I was going to wait until she came up with a convincing answer. Of course, that answer is not the answer to the current question. The answer to this question about life and death.

"... I wonder why"

Sheila looked surprised. Then I'm going to think about it.

"On second thought, I'm not sure..."

"Well... is that the case?"

"But I know that it has to be you. You can kill me. You can keep everything. I'll take care of it."

Setuna glanced into her eyes after she had finished listening to the spinning words she roughly would.

Then I'll take care of everything.

"I'll take care of it. Kill me."

"So why do you do that? I'm not gonna kill you."

"Why not!

"You promised."

"I forgot that promise."

Isn't it because Sheila really hasn't forgotten?

And I think about that. It's a wild assumption. It could be a mistake. Still, Setuna didn't mind. Whatever Sheila thinks, it's not what she found out.

"Even if you forget, I remember. As long as I can remember, as long as I keep my word, it works."

"I'm on my own......!

Sheila's on her own.

"But...!

"I know you want to die. I lost everything. You'll want to die, too. Even me, that happened. But I'm alive now, and I'm glad I'm alive. I met everyone because I was alive, and I knew Sheila."

"Me too..."

"If you die, you will be saved"

Even if it's not an affirmation, I'll tell you.

Sheila's shoulder trembled slightly. The hair that was wrapped around it can be slightly untied.

"You sure do. At least, now, it opens up from the things that are afflicting my heart. Everything will disappear, so it will. If that's what you call salvation, you can call it. But I can't save you that way."

You want me to live?

"Oh."

"Even though you say you have no dreams, no hope?

Sheila's question is true. No dreams, no hope. For her, you're right. So she tried to die. I cut everything off and tried to end my life as well. It was her dream and hope to return to the royal palace and live amicably with her parents and brother. It's completely lost.

No dreams, no hope.

All there is is is frustration and despair.

A life that's just painful.

I don't even know if I want to die.

Setsuna, however, deliberately pushed her away.

"Wow."

"Oh, my God, the way you put it"

"I can't be sure there's anything better to live for. You know, I happen to have a good life like this, but not everyone does, right? It could be harder."

"I wonder if there are any harder things to do"

Sheila groaned. No more. I am not allowed to return to the royal palace, I have to abandon the claiming nation caught in factional strife, and when I return to the country further, I fall to the bottom of my disappointment tangled by numerous thoughts, losing my mother and father in front of me. Something more, something like that, something less.

"If that happens, that's what you're not going to die for right now."

"If not, why don't you live?

Setuna suggested, staring at Sheila's changing expression.

"Before this, it could just be fun, right?

"But it's not funny anymore."

"You don't have to laugh. If you stay on my side."

If you're on my side, that's fine.

I don't have any particular reason, but that would reassure me. At least, we can watch. Setsuna meant it to that extent, but she seemed wolfish for some reason.

"Huh...!?

"Hmm?"

"Now, what was it?

"You don't have to laugh."

"After that!

"Did you say anything? Me."

"Oh, my God! If one of you starts worrying about that, what the hell is that?

Sheila came yelling at me as if she were coming at me with a nose tip. The attitude, expression and words reminded Sheila of the usual, and Setsuna smiled.

"Hmm... you cared about that"

"Yes, no, no... I... can't go home"

She suddenly grew nasty and tried to get away from Setuna. but Setuna grabbed her wrist and pulled.

"Go home."

"I don't like it."

"I'll take you home even if I can't"

"Why, why so much..."

"Many times. Promise, I will."

"... yeah"

"I won't carry anything on my own. I'm here. Yeah, I'm not the only one. Wellis, Krona, your men, Faria, the Lion's Tail. I'm not alone. So we'll figure it out."

"... yeah"

"Let's go home."

As Setuna said, Sheila was frightened for a moment. Then he asks about it in a nasty way.

"Is it okay...?

"What?

"Alive, I wonder"

"It's a good idea."

Setsuna gave me an immediate answer. Powerful, gentle, to say the least. That's a theory. Setsuna's own selfish thoughts. Others will have other people's thoughts. There will be a completely different, incompatible way of thinking, and I will not deny that I have such an idea in itself. That's it. Setsuna just thinks so. And now, on this occasion, Setuna's feelings must be the way she thinks.

So go on with the words.

"There's no life to live for. At least that's what I think."

"... yeah"

Sheila nodded quietly. Nod, then, face up slowly. Blue eyes. Not void. There is certainly a will and a light dwelling there.

I believe in Setuna.

"You can trust me. You look like a man who doesn't betray his trust."

Sheila smiled bitterly as Setuna told her with her breasts stretched out. Although it was a bitter laugh, Setsuna was relieved to see a long smile. It's been a long time since she has seen a smiling face even with a bitter laugh.

And that long time smile was just, I'm glad.

The white world began to shake.

The shaking seemed to be getting more intense. I can't stop. I don't need to stop. It's just that Sheila is crumbling the world created by the Nine Tails. Nine tails. The same bright white, beautiful hairline as her gray hair was creating this wide and narrow world. All she wants, just moves her tail, breaks.

Easily so that what should have been intricately intertwined can be solved lightly.

I saw a red-burning sky.

When the different spaces that the nine tails were creating completely collapsed, Sheila was also freed from the fox of the nine tails. Both the ears of the fox, and the nine tails disappeared, and the hair that was wrapped around his body, were completely dissolved.

Under the sun-dyed sky, Setuna succeeded in bringing Sheila back to reality.
