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

Episode One Thousand Four Hundred Sixty Nine: About Ragna (II)

"Ragna... dead?

He looked decent, just like Faria said she couldn't understand. The same goes for Miliu.

"You're lying, right?

"Don't be a bad joke, he'll die so easily."

"Yes, I can't imagine Ragna dying!

It was a reaction that neither Sheila nor Miliu were convinced. Their reaction is not incomprehensible. Ragna is a dragon. A primate of all things with an overwhelming life force. It is such a creature that it was once said that in the northern part of the continent it was worshipped like God. On top of that, Ragna is a special dragon called the reincarnated dragon, whose power is known to everyone but Asura who is here.

"Your husband... what the hell is this all about?

Rem was the only reaction I was accepting.

"He's really dead."

Setuna groaned as she took everyone's gaze.

He died trying to help me.

We lost a lot of words in the shock. Setuna, meanwhile, quietly told us what was going on.

On Setuna and Ragna, who served as lords in Santorea, and the fierceness of the battle that was waiting for Griff. During the battle, Sid Zan-Rufaus showed off what he called his true body and overwhelmed Setuna. And he also told him that he had been defeated by Sid, the true body form, and imprisoned by Benoa.

Everyone on the spot, starting with Leongand, was surprised by Setuna's story. You'll have to be surprised. I don't think Setuna was defeated by the Knights, placed under house arrest by Benoa, etc. Though he did not dwell on his life in Benoa, he also told him that in order to regain the black spear, he had to be said by the Knights.

"I see... you couldn't get out of Benoa because the black spear was secured"

"Oh."

If black spears were free to summon, even using the magic of Ragna to the fullest, I escaped Benoa and ran to get out of Benoagard, but that's not how it happened. You can't fight while the black spear is secured. I could summon my family, and I could use their abilities, but that's all I can do. Family members are only family members. Both Lance of Design and Edge of Surst are indeed powerful, but they are not far from the black spear that has become a complete body.

That's why it was necessary to recapture it.

I told him the fact that Ragna was going to die for it, and the words were jammed.

Negotiations with the Knights Chief Fairling Zan-Kluce at the Divine Table Conference, and encounters with the Savior God Mivula, were omitted. When it comes to stepping in there, it makes the conversation easier. What we need to talk about now is Ragna.

Why did Ragna have to die?

Setuna, in deep pain, told him.

Setuna, who succeeded in recapturing the black spear, tried to escape Benoa on the back of a dragon called by Ragna. But Benoa was overshadowed by a junction that seemed to have been created by the thirteen knights, and it was hard to escape. When cornered by a failing ring that became a true body form, Ragna concluded, telling her that it was the activation of a metastatic magic that risked her life, the carriage was wrapped in silence.

Even with the power of a dragon so called the Queen in Green, it was difficult to break through the junction of the thirteenth knight, nor could she escape the junction of Setuna alone without her life at the price.

With words and explanations, Setuna once again remembered the pain of losing Ragna. Unburied sense of loss and irretrievable regrets. There's nothing I can do about it where I regret it, but all those emotions come up and irritate my consciousness.

"That's what happened..."

Faria lay down her eyelashes and snapped. For Faria and everyone else, Ragna should no longer have been an important companion. He's been with us for almost a year since May 5th last year, and he's been tapping light mouths and diving through dead lines. It was obvious that each one had memories.

"Ragna... to protect Setuna,"

Miliu looked something to think about and gave Sheila a thought-provoking look in the past.

"... Ragna. He loved Setuna."

"Yes, and Ragna is on your husband's servant. Turn it into your own life, servant, but it's only natural that you protect the Lord."

The words that Rem had gone as normal hurt Setuna's ears to pierce her.

"Rem...... I don't know. I'm..."

"Your husband. Ragna just did what was natural as a servant. Even if I can't say it strongly, Ragna would have done the same thing. Ragna is my junior. Because I am proud to have striven to educate myself as a senior."

Rem tells me in a sneer. Indeed, it seemed that Ragna had referred to Lem as a senior and taught him various things since he became a squire of Setuna. Most of all, that doesn't change Ragna's usual behavior, and it doesn't make a difference that he's always looking down on humans. So it's Ragna who doesn't even hate humans.

"Your husband. Please, take care of the life Ragna spent and protected from Mizu. And please, praise Ragna for her actions."

"Praise..."

Though I could only understand the meaning of the contradictory words, I was not convinced.

"That's right. Ragna made the best decision as a servant. Protecting the Lord is the work of His servants. If so, nothing but insults, such as just mourning Ragna's death. Ragna didn't give up her life to beg your husband for mercy."

"Insulting..."

"Yes, that's what I'll sit for in the real world of servants. There should be no denying that death."

I'm just amazed at Rem's remarks as if he's been Setuna's servant for years, decades. Rem wasn't originally that kind of person. It should have been the reaper of Gibelle's leap agency and reaper unit and had nothing to do with such thinking. That sometime as a squire, as a servant, had become the bearer of a one-man mindset. Her bad jokes were the first time she started acting like a servant. Is that what got on the board, or what?

Either way, Setuna thought she had to look back at her bluishness by Rem's opinion. We also know that we must accept, accept and acknowledge Ragna's death from the front and move forward on it.

"If you tell him that when Ragna came alive again and appeared before us, his master was moaning, he would laugh. No, you might get furious."

"That's right. Ragna is a reincarnated dragon, isn't she? You're reborn again, aren't you?

"... oh. I'm sure."

Although not sure, Setuna nodded forcefully. A reincarnated dragon. It is strange in itself that such a thing exists in this world, and there is no mystery, but Setsuna sees Ragna die once and is instantly reincarnated. I can't lie to Ragna about how many times I've been reincarnated before. Even with some exaggeration about what she said, there was no falsehood. It's always Ragna who tells the truth. So I guess the anxiety I had at that time is serious, too. Setuna believed, however, that Ragna would be reincarnated again, and by then she was bound to find it.

Yes, I promised.

Shake your head and pay for the clutter. The way I think about losing Ragna is beginning to get tangled up. That, and this, would be thanks to having a well-thought-out companion. On his own, his thoughts might have solidified and he might have kept embracing them.

"Ragna is also reborn. You might have forgotten about us because of him."

"I don't know. Ragna, don't forget about Setuna."

"I think so too."

To the smile of Faria and Sheila, Setuna felt saved. Rem is smiling too.

"We need to find him."

"Naturally."

Setuna nodded forcefully at Miliu's words.

"I promised."

The last promise I made with Ragna.

No matter how many years or decades it takes, I will definitely pick you up.

Yes, I promised.

Promises must be fulfilled.

That's Setuna's way of life.
