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

Episode One Thousand and Seven: The Living Ones (IX)

Blurry, looking at the ceiling.

Chasing ceiling wood with your eyes is something you do unconsciously, but if it doesn't make any particular sense, it doesn't mean that it improves your thinking skills. He did that, especially when he couldn't turn his head, and what couldn't possibly get better, he just flashed.

I'm tired, I'm out.

He said he just kept listening, but he's mentally tired and burdened. Because they kept explaining things I'm sure I wouldn't understand. If you try to understand what you don't understand, you will. If I refused to know and even gave up keeping it in my head, I must have felt less tired or burdened, but there were circumstances that could not have happened.

Midgard-Waharam. And Urk.

Setuna needed to discuss it with them in order to cope with the new events surrounding Gandhia.

The purpose of Midgard is Setuna, not Gandhia itself, so there is nothing more than Setuna responding.

Midgard is a man of the divine kingdom of Deal. He is a researcher, and from what I hear, he also seems to be the developer of the Demonic Crystal doll. Such was his visit to Gandia, far from the Holy King's kingdom, to examine the involvement of the Black Demon Crystal Stone and Setuna, the power source of the Demon Crystal doll.

Leongand also did not want to make his relationship with Midgard worse, although it was such Midgard's hope (that of examining Setuna's body) that he withdrew. If we can connect with the Kingdom of Holy Deal through Midgard, it could lead to an extension of the lives of the small group of nations themselves. Conversely, there is a slight possibility that if we buy Midgard's unhappiness, the Army of the Kingdom of Holy Deal will come aboard a small group of nations, and therefore we had to be polite about Midgard.

The conclusion that Leongand had drawn was that Midgard's offer would be decided by Setuna herself in a discussion. That's why Setuna called Midgard to the hospital room for several crossing visits. And what I found in it was astonishing, and honestly, it was a series of hard stories to believe.

First of all, the fact that Urk is not human was my biggest surprise. Urk, from what I've seen, only looks like a human woman. Because the lack of expression and the pale and shining eyes were not odd, but there was nothing else odd about them. Besides, she uttered words and seemed to be moving with all her will.

Very, it doesn't look like one created it.

Demon crystal doll.

I guess it means a doll powered by a demonic crystal stone. If you ask Midgard, he said that the original plan was not to express himself in the Urk, but to remotely manipulate it. This means that it was a puppet powered by the Demonic Crystal Stone. But how did my self grow in Urk and move with the will of Mizumi?

Exploring and finding out the cause was also why Midgard visited Gandhia.

The key is in Setuna, he said.

(Not in Niewe...?

Setuna admitted that when her eyes closed, her flank ached on the person's face as she floated behind her eyelids. The wound stabbed with his knife is slowly beginning to clog. The wound must have been damaged because it reminded me of the moment I stabbed him.

Niewe Raam-Alsur.

The Leongans told me that the prince of the Zaion Empire - in other words, the son of the emperor and the person he called the last prince - seemed to know. If Midgard were the representative of the Kingdom of Holy Deal, Niewe would be the representative of the Zaion Empire. Of course, without such awareness on both sides, I would not have visited the land as a representative. It's just that from a human being in a country called Gandhia, you feel that way.

The last prince, though derailed from the contest for the next emperor, said he was so appreciative that he was given a title known as the Lord of War that he was entrusted with the rule of Arsul. And the last prince's familiarity with the art of armed summons was a famous story in imperial territory, and he seemed to be so famous that nothing even a small nation around imperial territory knew.

The fact that the name of so many people was not known in Gandhia would also be significant that Gandhia was located near the centre of the group of small nations, and that it may not have expanded the national territory towards the east, but that it has also greatly affected the north. Information on the Vashtarian community, which houses the northern part of the continent, is brought in as it heads north, but little information on the three main forces, east and west, came in.

Still, when I looked it up, it came out right away, so I guess it was an outing, a famous person.

(Neewe)

It's a name you can't help but feel the odd edge. It should have been a pseudonym used several times by Setuna and an ancient language that meant something like that for a moment or something. Did the current emperor name the prince? I was somewhat concerned about why you named me Neewe.

It's not just the name that remembers the odd edge. She looked just like her voice, not to mention her figure. It's an unquestionable fact that Elina even resembles her voice because she met Niewe. On top of that, Neewe was also the user of the Edge of Surst, a piece of black spear.

Edge of Thurst. Two black monochrome knives, one pair of short knives. The capability has not been elucidated so far, but it is probably a form of spatial transfer capability.

Setsuna raised her lid, recalling the likelihood of a battle with Niewe. There's some burning footage in the back of my brain. His figure scratched out when Neewe layered a short-knife with both hands. If it's a preliminary operation to activate the space transfer, the only way to interrupt his space transfer is to avoid overlapping the double knife.

(Can you?

If it's in perfect condition, it's not impossible. If you fly at full speed, you might get this punch before the knife overlaps. However, if the spatial transfer is activated before this poke arrives, this time this one will be stuck in distress.

The moment he jumped suddenly, he glanced at him, remembering that his short knife had stabbed him in the flank.

Niewe.

The same face, the same figure, the same voice bearer.

It was like looking in the mirror. but 3D it is clearly different from the mirror.

I even felt like I had another self there.

I'm sure that feeling isn't a mistake. He is the other himself. I was born into this world myself. Why, I'm sure. He is the setuna of this Illus Valle. And Setsuna is Neewe in that world. An existence that should not have been met has been met. If so, we have no choice but to wager and fight each other's entire existence.

That's probably what this is all about.

Black spears, edge of thrust, it's irrelevant.

I'm sure.

And it was Setsuna who lost to the other self and was dying. He was about to be killed. If it had been killed like that, what would have happened?

That's what I think.

If he dies, Setuna will just disappear, but Niewe, what happened? There is no doubt that Edge of Thurst took in the power of the black spear, and if so, what did he bring to the world?

Maybe I didn't bring anything.

It doesn't make any difference, maybe it just left the fact that Setuna died from this world. Then would Faria have grieved for me? Would Miliu have cried for me? Rem will disappear with you. Her life is Setuna's. What did Ruufa think? How about Sheila? The Ragna. The Esq...

Different things came to mind and disappeared.

I am genuinely tired.

That's why there's no takedown.

Setsuna glanced out the window. Outside the window, the sunset stained sky is oddly dazzling.

At that time, the door was accidentally knocked from the outside and Rem replied.

"Yes? Let's see what it looks like"

I hear Rem just in his footsteps as he shivers and heads towards the door. According to Ragna's story, the three men, Rem, Faria and Miliu, engaged and wounded the armed summoners under Niewe. They rushed to Setuna, but Niewe's men appeared to block the way, leading them to battle. If we didn't fight, if we didn't fight, if we didn't break through, we wouldn't be able to get to Setuna, so there was nothing better than fighting. As a result, the three Phalia were injured, especially that Lem was cut off from one arm, but it doesn't look like Lem is losing his arm. I also thought it was Ragna's lie to surprise Setuna, but apparently, she succeeded in pulling on her amputated arm. I don't know what the rationale is, but given her likelihood, it wasn't necessarily surprising.

"Master Miliu, what have you done?

"Hey, okay?

"Your husband just finished his interview with Midgard and Urk."

"Yeah, I know that, so I'm asking you to know I can't,"

What I heard was Rem and Miliu talking. I mean, I guess Miliu's been asking me about the room, but Miliu's condition was different than usual.

"What's going on?

"Master Miliu has met with your husband."

When asked, Rem looks back at this one. From the sleeping table placed at the window of the hospital room, you can see well the door with only one. The door was found to be slightly open. I guess there's Miliu over there, but I don't see her from Setsuna's position.

It's not me.

"Yes?"

"Hmm?"

"Erina wants to meet Setuna."

"Dear Elina,"

"Erina did?

"Can't you?

To Miliu's inquiry, Setsuna opened her mouth, thinking she didn't have to think about it.

"I don't mind."

As I answer, I loosen my expression to Miliu's care. Speaking of Miliu, from the first battle like a demon at the time of her first encounter, after the battle, the change was surprising when she faced her captive, and her attitude to Setsuna afterwards was unimaginable. But it was only against Setuna, and it also often provoked hostility and malice towards non-Setuna humans. Isn't that what is now changing dramatically with the acquisition of an apprentice named Elina?

At least Miliu's attitude toward Elina is full of mercy and affection, and her harsh parts are not dusty either.

"If your husband says so, I have nothing to say. Please, come through."

"Thanks."

"No, thank you to your husband."

"I know. When Setuna recovers, I'll give her plenty of thanks."

The fact that it's full of tea has not changed since the beginning.

"Please don't do that"

"Why?"

"Because I'm jealous."

"Heh heh. Then you can't stop."

"Then I will thank you very much until your husband recovers."

"Why would I do that?"

"Ugh."

Rem laughs, Miliu laughs bitterly. It was kind of very calm air, and Setsuna also smiled calmly.

But after a while, Elina didn't come indoors. As Setuna was leaning her neck, she heard Miliu.

"Erina, what's wrong? Setsuna's waiting."

"But..."

Setuna's chest ached because of Elina's lack of voice power. The girl, usually cheerful and dazzling as the sun, is now like a cloudy sky that is about to cry. Setuna became anxious about what was happening to her, and called out.

"What's going on?

"Go quickly. Otherwise, Setsuna, I'll go to bed."

"That's right, I'm going to sleep, neat!

"Setsuna's here, too, and you need to go and tell me what you want to talk about."

"Yes, master. Um, thank you."

"It's okay. It's about your apprentice."

To the tenderness of Miliu's voice, behold. It was a lesser side of Miliu. Speaking of which, Setsuna knew little about how Miliu behaved as Elina's master.

"See you later"

"Yes, I'll see you later"

As Rem lowered his head, he caught a glimpse of the moment when Miliu closed the door with a smile on his face.
