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

Episode One Thousand Six Hundred Forty-Seven: The End of a Dream (39)

November 27, the continental calendar year five hundred and three.

"Finally."

Esque-Soma had a strangely nervous face, and I went.

They are in the Setuna Army Stuff temporarily housed within the Royal Palace.

Setuna and Rem, and the Sydney Battle Squad led by Esq. Everyone is wearing weapons and ready to go, and there is a lot of air.

Setsuna also wears armor helmets. Benoagard sent it to me as a sign of friendship. It's candlebone armor. A family member of Ragnacia-Elm Dorrus who attacked Benoa, a protective device created by working out its bones, painted black for Setuna. My chest hurts when I think of the many dragons who were called to protect Setuna and scattered without the art of exchange, but the use of dragon bones was origami when it came to defense, and I was thankful to let them use it.

"Oh."

"By the way, Admiral, I don't see Lord Faria or Lord Miliu."

Esq glances around the room for a moment. Both Falia and Miliu are ministers of Setuna. If it had been before the launch of the Setuna army, we would have gathered in the same packing lot. And yet not showing up is nothing more than wonder. Because the Phalia were supposed to go out with the Setunas until the other day.

"And Lord Ruufa and Lord Gloria..."

"There's a lot going on."

Setuna told him that, even though she thought that could not be done with such an explanation. Then a sensible esc caught on.

"... Ha-ha-ha. So, you're gonna get us out of here, right?

"Well."

"No, no, don't you have to hide it? Whatever we are, we will not die until Lord Faria and the others. Is that what this is all about?

"... yes, don't be"

When Setuna nodded with a bitter face, Esq laughed thoughtfully at what was strange.

"So, Admiral, we're not complaining about our treatment, are we? Instead, if you were trying to get us out of here, come on. Hey, Doreen."

He responded with a little surprise as Esq led to Doreen, who was counting the number of arrows behind him.

"Yes, sir. I've only been waiting for Setsuna's knowledge."

"I too have been waiting for the day when I will go to my place of death with Master Setuna"

Not only Dorin, but Remil-Folk Ray, with his eyes shining, said. All the former mercenaries belonging to the Sydney Battle Squad were looking at Setuna with the same look.

"Admiral - No, Master Setuna, you promised me."

Esq saw this one. The brunette's sturdy hair looked at this one with her sparkling eyes at all times. He was soaked in alcohol with Ceasel and had a good face when it came to being a completely different person from where he was starving. Not at all, even when avenging Abard.

It was lively.

We're going to die.

He said he'd get us a place to die.

Abard, it's about the night the unrest ended.

Esque-Soma wanted a place to die. I was only concerned that I did not die with Langleed Zan-Sydney, and at last the man cursed by that fact, only ended up with a ghost seeking a place to die. I guess he was turning into such a being, living, but not finding joy in living. Esq seemed to think it could be the end of being killed by Setuna on Abad night. But Setuna didn't kill him.

There must be a better place to die, he said.

Setsuna couldn't imagine what the place of death he deserved at that time, but she was glad to be there then.

"You remember that promise, don't you?

"Oh."

"I believed your words, so I wasn't wrong."

Esq looked really happy.

There is no winning battle against the three forces. It's just a defeat, just a fight to get killed. Losing is losing too. Still, it would be an unparalleled battlefield for him. This much battlefield, history, doesn't exist back.

Wouldn't it be the biggest war since the beginning of the continental calendar?

You die on such a battlefield.

There is nothing more to the ghost than a continual search for a place to die.

"So, Lord Faria, what the hell..."

"Right."

Setsuna thought she had no choice but to hide it from Esq and decided to explain it.

A few hours ago - I mean this morning.

Setuna had been summoned to Faria. The sudden approaching of the three forces has just been reported, and the royal palace is in a rush to move.

(Are you finally here?)

Setuna realized it was a signal for the Phalia and the others to execute their plan, but with an unfamiliar face, she headed to her waiting room. Nor is Rem, naturally. Because Rem is part of the Phalia people's plan. I'm pretending to be on Phalia's side. Most importantly, the true meaning of Rem is that he is no different from the Phalia, and that if he wishes, Phalia's plan will be transferred to execution, and Setuna will leave Gandion, the king's capital, and he will live a new life.

Rem also knows what Setsuna thinks.

Setuna, of course, didn't want to leave Faria and Miliu, Rem feeling unscathed, and she was honestly happy. That's what they think. I guess the feeling of thinking of Setuna will poke and move them. I know painfully that you don't want to let one of your loved ones die.

Same goes for Setuna.

Likewise, he doesn't want Faria and the others to die.

The designated room was a room filled with phalia in the royal palace; when the door was gently tapped, a reply was received from inside and the door opened.

"I've been waiting for you, your husband."

So it was Lem, no matter what, who gave him a meaningful smile.

Entering the room, led by Rem, Faria, Miliu and Asura waited. Asura had the same grin as usual, but Faria and Miliu were strangely nervous faces. In deceiving Setuna, you must be nervous.

Setsuna was strange inside. It's like they're up to something. Even if you walk into this room without knowing anything, you'll be somewhat wary of what's going on between you two.

So, not that, but Setuna behaved as usual.

"Oh, my God, call me when this happens"

"Because this is the time."

"Yeah, well, this is the time."

"Hmm?"

"This could be the last time."

To that word of Faria, Setuna also had to nod.

It could be the last time.

You're absolutely right.

The plans of the Phalia were repainted by the plans of the Sethnas. Phalia and the others leave this king's capital, and only Sethuna will remain. This is the last time I'll be exchanging words.

Setuna sat back in the chair prompted and watched Rem pour tea. Tea is poured not only into Setuna, but also into Faria, Miliu and Asura. That tea was the point of their cluttered plan. They mix sleeping pills in their tea.

"Last... or"

Setuna held the vessel in her hand and sipped the tea. I realize Faria and Miliu's gaze is feverish and poured on me. The tea from Benoagardo is neater and easier to drink than the tea from Remanifra.

"Yeah. So I wanted to talk to you carefully."

Faria looked somewhere satisfied.

With Setuna drinking her sleeping pill-filled tea, I guess she thought the plan was a success. Of course, there's nothing like that in Setuna's tea.

Setuna thought about how long it would take for the sleeping pills to act, staring at Faria and Miliu sipping tea as if they were relieved. The sleeping pills prepared by Faria are in Faria's tea.

"What are you talking about?"

"What? Well, about the future..."

"The future?"

Asking, Setsuna noticed that Miliu's eyes were not in focus. If it's the effect of sleeping pills, isn't it as immediate? Sleeping pills that Faria has prepared, Rem hears that she asked Maria to formulate them. I mean, Maria, too, was in favor of Faria's plan.

It painfully conveys their desire not to let Setuna die.

Setuna thanked and apologized to the Phalia and the others in her heart.

"For example. If I could get through this..."

"Miliu......?

Faria seems to have noticed that drowsiness has struck her as well, staring at Miliu with a suspicious look of relaxation.

"This... is..."

It was probably too late for anything when she noticed the anomaly that was happening to her. Sleeping pills taken are specials Maria has formulated to keep Setuna asleep for a long time. Whatever Faria does, she can't resist. And she fell asleep, trying to stare at Rem. At that time Miliu was also stuck at his desk and found himself traveling to the land of his dreams.

"Oh, my God, what is this all about?

Asla didn't panic, and she didn't make a scene, probably because the moment she saw the two of them fall asleep, she understood the situation. With a strange look on his face, he didn't see himself confused by that sober response. That would be more convenient for Setsuna.

"Asura, I want you to help me too."

"Cooperation, is it?

"Oh, to help your precious Miryu out of this situation,"

Setsuna knew exactly how to move Asura's mind. Asura cares about Miliu more than anything else. I don't publicly say it's more important than my life, and I know very well from my usual words and deeds that they actually think that way. She switched from Gisele Court to Leongand because Miliu persuaded her to, and she became Setuna's minister because Miliu did so. I guess Miliu is her spiritual backbone. Maybe he even thinks he can't live without Miliu. That much, her love for Miliu is fervent.

So she really shouldn't want Miliu to die. Asura also stayed here because Miliu chose to fight and die with Setuna. But in all seriousness, you should want to keep Miliu alive and, if possible, live with yourself. Because of this, I was able to reconcile with Miliu and have happy days without this for her, but I also want to think about being lost for something like this. Still, I didn't disagree with Miloo because she loved Miloo by the time she was enthusiastic and respected Miloo's will.

She would have been pleased that Miliu and Faria had begun to plan to leave this king's capital. Because if we succeed, we won't have to lose Miliu. And I can live with myself. I can't be happier for her.

I mean, you must be on Setuna's plan, too.

"I mean..."

When Setuna finished her explanation, Asura agreed with a full grin.

"I accept, Master Setuna. I'll take care of your sister and Falia and everyone who accompanies them. I will definitely get you out of this battlefield and show you."

"Oh. Nice to meet you"

Reliable on powerful words, Setuna looked at Rem. Rem seems to have trusted Asura.

"At any rate, Master Setsuna will be with you..."

"I would have gone. I can't do that."

"Too bad."

Asura looked sad, I guess, because when Miliu woke up, he could imagine that he must be in mourning. Miliu is sure to not only grieve, but run wild. We can only hope that Asura and Faria will contain that.

"About Miliu, really, please. She has the right to be happy."

When I think of Miliu's life, I want him to be happier. I was a girl who was supposed to be sailing smoothly. The days of hell since she was thrown into Dinobot Cave drove her to despair. When I remembered that, my chest just got painful.

"Yes......"

"In time, Ruufa and Gloria will come. Be ready by then."

"Yes."

"Well, then."

Setsuna got up from her chair. Seeing in turn Faria, who leads to sleep without help on the bench, and Miliu, who sleeps by poking at her desk. Are you dreaming, or are you just sleeping? If you are dreaming, what kind of dreams are you dreaming? Imagine that. I think this makes me want to stare more closely.

"Dear Setuna,"

"Hmm?"

"I sincerely wish you long martial arts."

Setsuna was vividly surprised that Asura had bowed her head deeply. The thoughts put into that voice seemed to convey the utmost love from her.

"... thanks. You're a master too."

Setsuna left the room, courtesy of Asla. Wait for Rem to close the door, then walk out the aisle. Rem quickly lines up next to Setuna. Reaper, a girl in shape somewhat shorter than Setuna, had erased her usual grin.

"Now you're glad"

"Oh."

"... and your husband"

"No more."

"Yes."

Rem nods and shuts his mouth.

She also wants Setsuna to escape from the king's capital and hide underground. It's ridiculous to throw yourself into a battle with no winnings, just die, etc. There's no point in fighting like that. There can't be any point in just dying. There's no reason there. It is far more right not to fight and not to get caught up in the fight. Because there are more ways to get out of the situation without fighting than the purpose of the three forces is known.

But Setuna didn't have that option.

"Rem."

"Yes."

"You're going to have to be my best friend. Sorry."

That doesn't mean she's staying here.

It's about Setuna's life.

"No. You promised."

"Promise?"

"Until death divides you two."

I guess Lem accidentally praised her cheek because she had her own thoughts on the words. It brings back memories of distant days. About that night when I made a pact with Reaper.

"... oh"

"I have been a full day for the past two years since I met your husband."

"Right."

"And since I became your husband's reaper, it has been completely different from my life until then. It's exactly the world that has changed. For the third time in my life I have known joy. Thanks to your husband for that and this. If you're going to die with your husband, there's no more hope."

"Oh. When I die, I'm with you"

If Setuna dies, she will also lose the life force supplied to Lem. I mean, you're gonna die. It can be said that Lem is thereby released from that dark and deep curse. As a reaper, I don't know if I should keep living a false life, or finish my life as a reaper.

If there's only one thing I can say, it's that at the end of this battle, she dies from Setuna's death.

"I see."

That's the first voice of Esq after hearing Setsuna explain. Regardless, I have skipped the details, but I would have understood.

Esq, in both eyes that were closed, opened only one eye and laughed wildly.

"Master Setsuna is one of the sinners."

"Yeah?"

Setsuna doesn't know what Esq is saying.

"How will Lord Faria and Lord Miliu live in a world that has lost you?

"Well..."

"Lord Faria and Lord Miliu are more dependent on you than you think. So much so that you can tell from around. What happens if such one loses you? Maybe you'll be like me."

I guess the reason Esq looked extremely serious was because he had some thoughts.

And when I heard that word, Setsuna couldn't say it back instantly because it was a reality Setsuna didn't dare to look at. Miliu's dependence on Setuna is such that the first person he sees suddenly loses his word. She didn't say publicly that she couldn't live without Setuna, and in fact, I guess she thinks so. If Setuna dies, she may lose her life without hesitation. Given the likelihood of a human being named Miliu-Levaire, not Setuna's own pride, mistake, etc., it's something you can imagine.

That's why Setuna turned away from that reality. If you look straight at it, you might blunt your resolve. If you are dull in your resolve, you will no longer be willing to fight for your death.

Okay, then, no.

"... Faria and the others aren't stupid either. Looking to reality, he'll live. I believe so."

Setuna didn't want him to hear his words and tell herself.
