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

Episode One Hundred Sixty-One: The Messenger from Lyohan (II)

"If I ask you so far, you can't go back to Lyohan," is that it?

Malik asks quietly.

In contrast to the look on Faria's face, Malik's expression is mild. I didn't think of it as the look on the face of a very mid teenage boy. Old age, is that right? Malik's expression staring at Faria looked many, many decades older than Faria's. The actual age is despite the fact that Faria is nearly ten years older.

"I'm Faria from Gandhia, The Lion's Tail. It has nothing to do with Lyohan anymore."

"I thought so. As I heard, you're the one who's not accommodating."

"I don't care what they say, it's a decision."

Faria went strong. The painful look made her wonder if she was being forced to utter the word, and Setsuna, followed, interrupted the conversation.

"Faria."

Faria's eye and Malik's eye stab Setuna almost simultaneously. Faria's sharp velvet and Malik's serene sun-like gaze. A contrasting gaze between the two seemed to clarify the two positions.

"Are you sure that's all right?

"Yes, why don't you go see your grandmother?

"Setuna, Miliu... I... but"

In her eyes looking at this one, a stray arose. After a roundabout, it seems painful.

I can't bother you.

"Dear Faria, I can do anything about your husband, and you can leave the Lion's Tail to Master Ruufa."

"Oh, to me alone? Yes, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I'll do whatever it takes to do that."

"Well, well, well. I don't know what it is, but I'll take care of Setuna."

"Rest assured that Setuna will be protected by me"

If Rem says anything unsolicited, Ruufa will supplement it, and Ragna and Urk will announce to each of them. Then Faria looked like she was clearly in trouble. The look on his face like he said he didn't know how to handle it. I could see the confusion.

"Guys..."

"They're all like this."

Setuna said, Falia stared at me.

"I want to fly right away, too! But, but... then you can't. Then you won't know what you're ready for!

So sorry, just because, she left the Thai Spirit Palace. Miliu tried to call it off, but it ends in vain. She had already disappeared into the passage to the Xuanlong Palace.

Setuna shook her head, looking into her eyes with a glittering milieu. Then I turn to Malik.

"... solidity or stubbornness? Well, that's what I knew."

"You still want to take me, don't you?

"Yes."

Malik, sneering, quickly turned into a serious face.

"Big Faria is important to me, so... as much as my last wish, I want her to come true"

"Last......"

"Yeah. It's not gonna be long."

Malik's serious obsession was telling him that he wasn't going to the big time. What floats in the back of my brain, at the beginning of this year, when I met him in the land of Kruselk, was a fariah-valdish in such a way as health itself, and I could not imagine falling in less than a year after that, etc.

He said he showed so much awesome strength that he didn't have to compare himself to the young and brilliant armed summoners that he played Ruufa to amaze them and even held them in awe.

Setuna, although unfortunately he could not burn the battle of Faria-Valdish in his eyes, only listened and knew the story, and thought that if the Maliku and the four great heavenly samurai were so armed summoners that they respected and did not stop, their strength would not have to be questioned.

I remember that the personality, quite unlike what I had imagined, was a woman well suited for words like free run and naivety.

"I don't have time for this. As soon as possible, I want to go back to Lyohan. I want to go back and be on that side. But that's not my job. My family should stay with you. That's what people are for, isn't it?

"... ok. I'll talk to Faria."

"Thanks"

"Don't worry about it. I took care of Malik."

Setuna gently touched Malik's shoulder and laughed. I was taken care of, which means Faria's birthday present. Malik is delivering the item to my attention. I was thankful for that, not only Setuna, but even Miliu and Faria.

Of course, even if that hadn't happened, Setuna would have turned to Faria's persuasion.

"Regards, little Faria"

To the demeanor of Malik, Setsuna nodded as she fed, returning her heels and leaving the Tae Ghost Temple.

You can't possibly know where Faria is across the street or anything, but it's hard to believe she popped out of the Heavenly Wheel Palace.

Faria, as you can see from her earlier words and actions, is bound by such order as position, discipline, and code.

So I can't take the option of flying back to Lyohan right now. The truth is, you should want to fly right away. You should want to grab hold of Malik's wings and get back to Lyohan as soon as possible for a moment and see his grandmother's face. I'm supposed to want to stay on your side. But the position binds her actions.

(No, my heart...)

Setsuna rethought so in her chest as she ran through the aisle to the Xuanlong Palace.

Faria was ahead of her through the Xuanlong Palace, not the Xuanlong Palace. Outside the Xuanlong Palace, on the grounds of the Heavenly Wheel Palace - a space that should also be called a garden - one looked up at the sky.

It was a clear sky by the time it was stunning. A cloudless seeping blue sky reminds me of a clear surface of water. Though the sun is rising, the sun is soft and calm. November is almost over. Sometimes winter was near, and it was oddly chilly even with all this sunshine. For once, I'm wearing it, but still I can't delude the cold of the wind touching the exposed areas of my skin.

"I am Faria Zenon Belfaria-Aslalia."

I guess Faria opened her mouth suddenly because she noticed Setuna approaching with signs. Affirms.

"Oh. I know."

"Zenon is a royal summoner, isn't he? of Gandia."

"Lucion's Royal Palace Summoner, I hear."

"It's an imitation of Your Majesty. Because Zenon didn't exist in this world until His Majesty thought about it."

The Royal Palace Summoner (Zenon), as Faria put it, is the title Leongand conceived. I hope it was a quick new creation for Setsuna, who was active in the Logner War, and like The Lion's Tail, it was about how Setsuna could see how she was being spoiled by Leongando. Whenever I think about it, Setsuna renews her loyalty to Leongand, but she still does. Apart from Setuna, the Royal Palace Summoner (Zenon) is worshipped by Ruufa, Miliu and Faria, respectively.

It doesn't mean Gandia doesn't have an armed summoner other than these four. The Royal Palace Secret Service has Cain-Vivre, and the Bureau of Magicians has about ten armed summoners. But they were not royal palace summoners, they were just armed summoners. A royal summoner is a title comparable to a knight, and not everyone is given an armed summoner. It was an honorable title, to be given to what it deserved.

It is the creation of Leongando. At first, titles that had no historical value whatsoever were beginning to be recognised over time as having intense power. Evidence of this is the presence of the Royal Palace Summoner of Lucion. The Royal Palace Summoner of Lucion has been appointed after the Kruselk War and is undoubtedly influenced by Gandia.

"That means His Majesty Halberg is under the influence of His Majesty Leongand."

"Yeah. Being affected isn't a bad thing. In the future, both Zenon and the royal palace summoner may be universal as well as Lucion"

"Maybe."

"I'm sure you do. Because as long as Gandia spins history, Zenon's name has to be something special."

"Right."

To Faria's assertion, Setuna smiled. She seemed to like the name given to her after the Kruselk war. I like it, rather than be proud. Those emotions seemed like the end of words and deeds, and I couldn't wait to see that for Setsuna.

It was proven by her words that the way that Setuna felt was not a mistake.

"I am proud of my position in the name of this Xenon. It is a sign that I have fought with you and am finally recognized. [M] And this is me. My place, my standing, my existential significance. There's no way I can abandon that position and go back to Lyohan for whatever reason."

"Yeah......"

Quiet, nod.

I don't even know what Faria thinks. No, rather, it's understandable, so it can't be strong. She has her thoughts, her thoughts, her life. I have to hesitate to step in there forcefully. If good and evil are clear, yet, in the world, it is not all good and evil that can be divided.

The same goes for this one. Doesn't mean which is right or which is worse. They're both right. Malik's obvious intention to visit his grandmother's body is not wrong, nor does Faria's notion of being bound to martyr in position seem a mistake. Still, Setuna wasn't trying to convince Faria because it was right or anything like that.

I didn't want Faria to regret it.

My grandmother collapsed. It is also said to be caused by decay due to old age, not by diseases such as the prospect of recovery. Besides, in Malik's view, they won't last long.

I could die, that is.

If she made the choice not to return to Lyohan here, she would have regretted not seeing her parents, her grandmother. Nor is that temporary. It could be a lifetime of dragging.

"I ignored the orders of Lyohan's Mountain Protection Council. Remember?"

Of course, I remember.

It happened in Enjour.

Setuna's first land as a territory was Hot Springs. When that Enjour was immersed in the proud hot springs, the Azmaria-Altemax appeared where Faria was the enemy she pursued. Faria, at the time, had already been removed from the Azmarian crusade and even forbidden to fight Azmaria. But seeing Azmaria, she couldn't stop herself. I took precedence over my emotions over the orders of the Mountain Protection Council. Though Quol-Ethen, Lyohan's messenger, stopped Faria, Faria also swung off his suppression. Otherwise, I guess Faria couldn't have been Faria.

That's also because she's her.

My heart was the result of tying her thoughts.

"It's an act of readiness. I have no regrets."

Faria ran out of words, but Setuna can't even tell if that's what she meant. It's not God. Nor can you peek deep into the hearts of others.

"So you're not going back?

"I would have said. When I get back to Lyohan now, I don't know what I was ready for."

"Even so, I would definitely regret not seeing the Great Faria"

"... but still, I..."

Faria's voice had a tour.

So Setuna wanted to hear all of her thoughts.
