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

Episode One Thousand Stories, The Kaiju of Life (II)

"In the laboratory where I am the director, I have been researching Demon Crystal Stone for many years, but the Black Demon Crystal Stone is a Demon Crystal Stone whose output is confirmed only in the Edylline of the Kingdom of Holy Deal, and it was only a few years ago that we discovered this. The original study had determined that the difference with other Demonic Crystal stones was only about this difference in luminescent color, but not much research over the past year has shown that it was not. After all, given that there are no other demonic crystal stones of different colors, this blackness also made sense."

Midgard-Waharam began a reference to the black Demonic Crystal Stone in Setuna's hands.

The sky outside the window burns red and is still about to burn out. Evening. It's a long story about waharram. The night would soon come, but Setuna didn't mind. Tiredness isn't as good as it was before. Less than two days of rest seemed to have contributed to the recovery of my health.

From time to time, Rem looks worried and sees how things are going, but each time, Setsuna told her that her expression was all right. Then she smiled, saying she was relieved, and Ragna tilted her little neck. Sometimes it was odd that Urk was looking at such a ragna, but the point is, it's not there.

"Well... I said the reason we visited this king's capital lies in this black demon crystal stone, but it is something deeply related to you, Sama, the Setuna boss"

"With me?

Although I inquired, it was clear about itself. Midgard seemed to want to look into Setuna, and Urk also called Setuna Lord. I was wondering if it must have something to do with Setuna's unknowing, but I can't imagine where or how it has to do with it. They were human beings of the Holy Kingdoms and could not relate to Gandia, a group of small nations, but also to the centre.

"May 5th"

"Hmm?"

"What happened to your husband's birthday?

It's my birthday, too.

"Shut up."

Setuna held onto Ragna with one hand jumping to claim herself.

"Guru."

I thought I heard a strange voice but I silence him and watch Midgard. The Demon Crystal Stone researchers stared at this one with one hand over the ordinary Demon Crystal Stone.

"May 5th, five hundred and two years, don't you remember?

"I remember. There was a lot going on."

"Of all the things that happened, Setsuna Bo Sama was left with a black spear, right?

"Oh, I fought him."

Nod and release the ragna under your hand. Then he jumped up joyfully and bravely, swirling around Setuna to show. After all, the little Fei Long is the Fei Long. I have the power to ignore gravity and just fly around freely.

"Uhm! You fought me and I was destroyed."

"How can you keep your chest up?"

"How can you be ashamed of yourself for losing something strong? Odori was stronger than I was then. That's all."

"You know what?"

"That's the way it is."

Setuna was impressed with Ragna as if to imitate him, along with a bitter smile. Sure, you may not have to be ashamed of losing to a strong opponent. If the reason for losing is stronger than yourself, then pity is irrelevant. They're strong, so it's natural to lose. You can say it makes sense.

But Setsuna thinks.

(Isn't it pretty amazing that you don't regret losing to humans?

Speaking of Ragna, I know she'll flinch for some reason, so Setsuna pushed what she thought into her chest. Ragna is a reincarnated dragon. He says he's been living and dying for tens of thousands of years. Perhaps it was natural for the weight to be wide.

"We are anxious for the dragon extermination of the dragon uncle of the Dragon House of Dragon Killer."

"It's not all dragons."

"I have something to do with it."

"I see, it doesn't mean it was destined to be linked to me either!

"That's fine."

"Huh. Glad to hear it. I guess so."

"You must be happy with Ragna, right?

"Uhm."

"Ugh."

Rem smiles as he strokes a stopped ragna on his shoulder. Setuna sighed as she half-eyed her squire unfolding such a usual sight. I can see Midgard trying not to talk to me.

"Are you sure you want to continue talking?

"I'd rather you keep going."

"Bye."

Midgard congratulated him on continuing the conversation.

"It was on May 5th that this black demonic crystal stone reacted most strongly"

"Hmm?"

"I checked it out, and it was just at that time when Setuna Big Sama was carrying out dragon exorcism, so first of all, I'm pretty sure it must have meant that she reacted to the black spear and the power of Setuna Big Sama. It wasn't until Gandhian territory that I was able to find out the time."

"In other words?"

"The Black Demon Crystal Stone means that the Black Spear - pulled, reacts strongly to the vitality of Setsuna Berthama. And to be sure, we've come all the way from the Holy Kingdom to Gandia."

What makes Midgard's explanation certain is obvious if you look at the black demon crystal stone on Setuna's hand. Unless he's lying, though. It's also hard to believe that Midgard is lying from where denial by Urk doesn't come in. Of course, there's no possibility that Urk is showing up with Midgard, but I couldn't feel the need to be that vigilant. At least, there is no doubt that Midgard came from the Kingdom of Holy Deal, and it is an unquestionable fact that his passion for research has made him.

I don't know what that passion will do to Setsuna.

Anyway, Setuna stared at the strong, shining black crystal on her palm.

"That's all for?

"Of course it is. Demonstrating the results of research is only natural if it is the responsibility of the researcher."

"Wasn't it to engage me and Setuna?

Urk looks at Midgard on the side. I know it's because of her faceless expression, but her gaze felt slightly colder.

"There's that too."

"That means the answer earlier is incorrect"

"... oh yeah"

"What are you talking about?

"About her, too, has a lot to do with Black Demon Crystal Stone"

Midgard tells me, pointing to Urk.

"She's not human, as you can see"

To that explanation, Setuna could not have forbidden surprises either. It's more about not imagining.

"Huh!?

A barbaric voice came out, if you will, of necessity.

"Not human, no?

"Again."

Urk was also surprised, and Ragna was the only one convinced. Whether his statement about the absence of the soul is that he was not wrong, though.

"I just look like a human... you know?

"Yes, to me too, only so..."

Rem nods as he looks surprised.

No matter where you look, Urk was human. The human woman herself, from the tip of her hair to her toes, with the exception of the absence of facial expressions, had no suspicions.

(No...)

Setuna stopped her gaze in Urk's eyes. The only eyes that seemed slightly luminescent were odd. And if you look closely, there were other suspicions. At first, I wondered if the iris was too big to see white eyes, but apparently they didn't have white eyes themselves. I mean, not the human eye. It was like a jeweled eye. Similar to Ragna's eyes. Ragna's eyes don't have white eyes either. Ragna's eyes are like jewels in the eye itself.

Urk stared at Midgard with his eyes.

"That's why I went. He said it would only confuse them, such as making them look the same as humans."

"But it's a developer's woe. One hand creates one."

"I am not a human being"

"Yes, but... something similar"

"No, sir."

"... well, even when I'm questioning you, the sun just goes down"

"I affirm."

When Urk nodded, Midgard gave a nice look at him. As far as those two exchanges were concerned, I didn't think Urk was human, etc. If you're not human, why can you talk? The principles are unknown and nothing is certain.

"If you're not human, what is it?

"She calls herself the Demon Crystal Doll…"

"Demon Crystal Doll"

Rebellion, Setuna, saw Urk's face again. I thought you did have a neat face like a doll. Beautiful faces, no less than the beauty of the world, always expressionless, are convincing when it comes to dolls. Because a doll can make as many beauties as it wants, and it's impossible for a doll to change its expression. But unless it's explained, it's also true that I can only think of you as human.

She was extremely human. If Midgard and Urk's story were true, they would have been made to imitate humans.

"Human rattle. I do look a lot like one."

"Yeah, I'm really, really human."

Beside Ragna and Rem shouting their amazement, Setsuna, too, was honestly surprised. Not humans, dolls. I guess it's what we should call an artificial human being. Human-created, non-human-like. It cannot be imagined that such things exist in different worlds where neither this technology nor civilization has developed. But when you calm down and think, there is magic to be armed summoning, there is a dragon to use magic, a world where God exists. Perhaps there were soils where man-made humans could be born more than the world in which Setuna was born and raised.

"As the Devil's Crystal Doll calls it, she uses the Devil's Crystal Stone as her power source, which is the Black Devil's Crystal Stone. That's why she calls Big Sama the Lord."

"Midgard is right. Setuna."

"Poorly worded is flawed in the balls, but that's what I mean"

"What are you talking about?

Midgard and Urk come naturally, but Setsuna still had things to be convinced of.

"I know the power source is the Black Demon Crystal Stone, and the Black Demon Crystal Stone reacts to me and the Black Spear, because, why..."

"We'll talk about that tomorrow and beyond."

"Huh?"

Suddenly the man who was speaking with all his strength until just now blocked his words, Setsuna, pompous. Midgard comes with a bitter laugh.

"Uncle Setuna, let Sama force you, you're afraid of later"

"Huh?"

"Wolk scolded me during this time, too. My daughter scolds me because I'm already punished."

"So I am not your daughter. And if you make it mainly impossible, it's natural to reprimand them. It has nothing to do with Midgard."

Urk is certainly faceless and has no discouragement in his voice, but he couldn't help but feel some angry breeze in his remarks to Midgard. I'm sure it's my fault.

"So the rest of the story is, again, next time. We apologize for this."

"Excuse me. Setuna."

"Oh, oh..."

Midgard and Urk left the room without waiting for Setuna's reaction. The moment the door opened, I caught a glimpse of Miliu, Faria and Sheila, but that's not my fault. I'm sure they couldn't help wondering what was going on in the hospital room and what stories were being told. I don't feel angry. He hasn't been indoors since they left. For once, Maria's words mean she's keeping them.

When the two were gone, the inside of the hospital room was wrapped in silence as soon as possible.

"What can I say, it was like a storm"

Setuna affirmed Rem's indescribable sentiment as she looked down at the black demon crystal stone left in her hand.

"Oh... not at all"

The black demonic crystal stone emits as strong as ever. Black light. If it doesn't hurt my eyes, it won't illuminate the darkness. Rather, it must dissolve in the darkness.

(This is the power source...... hey)

So say Setuna unto the LORD.

I guess I find that uncomfortable, like it doesn't seem to be in reason, because Setsuna herself has nothing to do with the Black Demon Crystal Stone. I'm getting involved where I'm not involved at all. It was a strange feeling. I don't feel uncomfortable or disgusted, but I feel uncomfortable.

"That's why I went. That thing doesn't have a soul."

Ragna went while riding over Setuna's head. I can't fall asleep right now.

"A doll without a soul...? I wonder how it's working."

"The gift of technology in the Kingdom of Holy Deal, so shall we?

Rem also made a face that he said was difficult to understand.

"I know that's what this is all about... but there are some strange things about it"

"Yes, I am."

"You're a wonder hunk."

"Oh, my God! I don't care if it's a wonder between you and the seniors!

"Speaking of which, you are."

"Mm..."

Hearing Rem react, Setuna shut her mouth.

If you ask me, it could indeed be.

Rem is a dead man, whose life is only the first provisionally. Temporary first life stopped by the ability of a black spear. Unilateral connection in the name of synchronization of life.

It means that you know exactly how uncertain and inexplicable life is. Therefore, we find ourselves in a paradoxical state of not knowing, but it may be futile to think about it. That means that the power of the black spear is outrageous, and is that why the black demon crystal stone also reacted?

But now, the black demon crystal stone in Setuna's hands is reacting to Setuna, not to the black spear.

In response to Setuna's vitality, it shines black.

The beauty of its black brilliance was similar to that of the scourge of black spears.
