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

Episode One Thousand and Three: The Kaiju of Life (V)

"You must resent me."

Neewe, staring into the girl's eyes, snapped.

corner of the new city. There were no crowds at all, either from the time zone, from the population. All I have is a girl named Neewe and Lancelot, Elina, and a dog named Neewe.

"Why?"

As the girl shook her shoulders, she opened her mouth. There is fear, there is anger. Various emotional amplitudes are causing her little body to tremble. I know where those emotions come from, so Neewe doesn't want anything.

"Why did you try to kill your brother...?

I thought it would be best if Elina asked. I had heard that Setuna was irreplaceable to Elina. Because when we first met, we talked that far. Elina was relieved that Niewe looked like Setuna, she said well. Although I could not extract any information from her that would be necessary for Setuna's strategy, I was familiar with the relationship between her and Setuna.

Setuna was like a savior to Elina, and she even knew that she was aiming for an armed summoner for him and encouraging him to train and study day and night.

There's no way I didn't feel anything when I heard her talk like that.

When I slaughtered Setuna, I felt her thoughts stomped and it broke my heart. I had the feeling that I had even broken her heart when I left Setuna with a fatal wound.

When I didn't have to kill Setuna, I realized I had myself in relief.

Just a few dozen encounters. But even then, Neewe had allowed Erina to mind.

I'm sure it's Setuna's fault.

Neewe's the same as Setsuna, which is why I allow this girl, who is important to Setsuna, to be distracted.

So I cruised around to see how I should answer.

"... because you have to."

There was no other answer. Erina rocks her little body hard.

"Why? Why? I don't know."

"You don't have to know. I don't know and deserve it. Even I don't know the truth."

"If you don't know, don't try to kill me."

"Still, I have to kill him."

A little pain stabs me in the chest. But you can't fake yourself. You can't deceive yourself just to reassure her. If we do that, everything Niewe's ever built up becomes a vacant one. That feeling dominated him.

"If I don't put him in this hand and put an end to that life, I won't be me. I feel that way."

"I feel that way...... don't hurt my brother for such unsolicited reasons!

"I think I'm sorry. I'm sorry for what I did to you. But I don't have a choice. I don't want to do this. That's me and his destiny, so if you curse, you have to curse your destiny."

Until now, Neewe has been in a rather negative position about something called fate. I didn't even want to think about it, like that determines human life. Isn't it up to your efforts to see how life falls? Otherwise, does it not mean that everything will be decided at the moment of birth? Doesn't it even make sense to live? That's what I was thinking.

But now we have to acknowledge the existence of destiny.

To the summons of the Edge of Thurst, the presence of Setuna and Chaos Bringer. Exactly the same presence as yourself holds the body of the Summoning Army that you love. What do you call it without calling it fate?

"I know it's a casual logic. I don't mind if you resent me."

"... Also, are you going after your brother?

"Right. When he recovers and can fight, we'll fight again. Well, I'll be careful not to get anyone involved this time."

So, Neewe glanced at Lancelot. He looks like a bum. Lancelot's Lightmere damage to the new city was out of the range of assumptions for Neewe. Regardless, I knew that Setuna's men were armed summoners, and I knew that if Setuna moved into the search for Niewe, his own impostor, those men would move again. I also knew the Lancelots were moving to those jams, which is why I didn't imagine making a big hole in the ground in the new city.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have weighed themselves down, which is Lancelot's saying, and Neewe believes it.

I don't want to involve an unrelated person or thing.

It was a wish and even a wish from the very beginning of Neewe.

"I won't let..."

Seeing the girl take out her sword, Neewe narrowed her eyes. She aspires to be an armed summoner. An armed summoner is more than just the use of skill. Only a sophisticated body technique, weapon handling, and combat technology can be called an armed summoner. I guess Elina also teaches you how to train your body and handle weapons while learning armed summoning techniques.

My sword-shaking hand was trembling.

"I can't do this."

"I won't let you kill me..."

The girl was crushing like a rumor. The puppy Niewe looks up at her quietly, tired of playing. You don't even know what she's trying to do.

"You can't."

Niewe made sure her expression was tense and then also saw and understood with her eyes that her whole body muscles were stiff. Now it's impossible to stab a sword in Neewe. Even if I could stab Niewe, it wouldn't be fatal.

In the first place, there was no intention of killing in her eyes.

"Elina. This hand of yours is not meant to hurt anyone. Wouldn't you?

Neewe touched her hand lifting her sword. I'm not even scared. Tensions dominate Elina.

"Is it a lie that you want to help Setsuna?

"I'm not lying! It's true! But so...!

"Setsuna won't be happy if you kill me."

"Why not!

"I know what you mean."

Niewe, staring into her eyes, ran out.

"I'm him. And he's me. So I know. If you hurt me, he will grieve deeply. I've made you that far. You won't be able to forgive yourself. He is such a man. I carry everything in by myself, and I try to solve everything by myself. Damn it, I get angry, mourn, and grieve when someone else does something like that. I can't help it, I'm stupid, I can't help it, I'm hard to save."

Tell along with self-derision.

At that moment, I knew everything. Everything, I understand. I recognized it. He realized clearly that he was himself and that he was him.

That's why I have to kill you.

That is why we must fight and put an end to that life.

"Me and him, that's who we are. Trouble."

I don't know if she understood Neewe's words. Confusion is swirling in its eyes and confusion is shaking. With such a girl's little hand wrapped around her, Niewe just went even gentle.

"If you care about him, you should stay by his side. That should be enough for him."

"... but"

"I don't know what happens next."

"Huh?"

Elina makes it right.

"It means I have a good chance of getting killed."

Niewe's words were sincere.

"Uncle Setuna, you know Sama, but the Demonic Crystal Stone has a strange power"

The third face-to-face meeting with Midgard-Wahram was still held in the battalion building.

September 21st.

Next to the infirmary on the ground floor of the battalion, this room is used as a personal hospital room.

The battalion was originally a private residence in Nahles-Ragnahorn, where Nahles reused what had been abandoned for many years since he left Gandhia for the Zalwarn workmanship as a base for The Lion's Tail. Initially as it was, it was to the extent that it raised the team flag and team chapter of "The Lion's Tail," but it had been significantly altered and renovated by Ruufa's suggestion, so much so that Nares could not recall the shadow of his mansion. Nevertheless, what changed dramatically was the appearance, there was no dramatic change in the internal structure itself, and if the nares were also put in the cadre, things like nostalgia would creep up.

The compartment lined up with the infirmary and the infirmary was the one dominated by Maria-Skole, the exclusive military physician of The Lion's Tail, an area where she took a step but finally, anything that did not follow her laid laws would be slapped. That must be why “Sword Ghost” Lux was so quiet. No matter how many "swordsmen" you are, there is no way Maria can fight you.

Whatever Falia is, it is no exaggeration that Miliu or Sheila only come to peek into Setuna's face about a day, two or three times, because this compartment is identical to Maria's territory and is always under her watchful eye. More importantly, Setuna's hospital room is next to the infirmary. If you make any noise, Maria will fly right in. Neither Miliu nor Sheila can lift their heads to Maria.

And that's the same with Setuna. Setsuna also takes great care to avoid buying Maria's anger and strives to recover her strength and wounds.

Since when did the insanity that Maria's mood should not be undermined begin to dominate The Lion's Tail?

Maria is a military doctor. It is also a man of great skill, worthy of calling himself a famous doctor, and it is no exaggeration to call it the Lion's Tail lifeline, which is destined to fight powerful enemies on the front lines. Damaging her mood is a direct risk to her life. Regardless, she's not out of hand because she's in a bad mood, and she shouldn't be a military doctor because her emotions dictate the outcome of her treatment.

"It's the one that reacts to vitality and emits light, isn't it?

"Yeah. Crystals that sense the vitality of humans, animals and plants and emit light reflexively. That's what we call Demon Crystal Stone, the power source for Demon Crystal dolls, starting with Urk."

"I heard that during this time, can you do that? Besides, can I reveal that much?

"Let's just say that there's nothing wrong with the latter, because no one can imitate it. It turns out the power source can't even imitate the Demon Crystal Doll."

Midgard-Weharam has said so confidently, looking sideways at Urk. Urk, with that faceless look, stares at this one.

Indoors, as in the meantime, there are only Setuna and Rem, Ragna, Midgard and Urk. The Milius may be eager to see what's going on indoors outside the door, but there won't be anything to disturb them. As for Urk, who is naturally sitting in the cadre, he complained all the time.

"If you could imitate it, make it an unbearable substitute for your trial. Given how many years it took us to complete her body, naturally. Well, it's the shapes that put the most effort into it."

Midgard's bitter smile was rather even somewhere proud.

Seeing Urk's appearance didn't even make him want to be proud. She's a beauty with no choice. Perfect beauty, like a work of art, sometimes has no facial changes and never breaks down. Beautiful from any angle, enough for Lem to leak a sigh without fail.

"Well, let's get back to business."

He went, staring at the black demon crystal stone in Setuna's hand.
