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

Episode One Thousand Seventy-Eighty-Eight, Tamabu.

I could hear the wind passing through the window.

Midnight.

It's the middle of January. Think of the cold at night, the windows are closed. On top of that, his bedroom is situated away from the window. Yet I guess the fact that we hear the wind so loud is simply because of the strong winds.

Benoa, the capital of Benoa Gardo, is called the city of the North.

At a time when a group of small continental States once existed as a norm, the northernmost point in the case of outrage over the territory of the three major forces was countries such as Benoagard and Armador, which were rarely referred to as the countries of the North. This is the same reason why we call Lemanifla and others countries of the South. The three major forces were even considered for the small and vulnerable countries that had established the small group of nations. Different sizes. Each of the three major forces had the same degree of national territory as a small group of nations. It is also not clear that one of the small groups of nations would even shun to bring the three major forces to the table.

The thoughts of one of them manifested themselves in calling Benoagard and Armador the North, and the inhabitants of those countries and the Northerners. Calling the Lemanifurans Southerners would be the same thing. In short, one of the small groups of nations was extremely afraid to think about the three forces. Therefore Benoa, the capital of Benoagard, was called the capital of the north, and so forth.

Benoa, the capital of the north, had few winds against the capital.

It seems that the environment surrounding Benoa, the terrain, was able to bring wind into the urban areas, and Benoa has historically been bordered by natural disasters surrounding the wind, whose wind damage continued to haunt the heads of Benoagard royalty, the Knights, ruler of Benoa.

But that was also before the “Great Destruction," and since the “Great Destruction," it seems that Benoa has ceased to suffer from wind damage.

The “Great Destruction” seemed not only to have scattered the continent, but also to involve massive crustal fluctuations, with Benoa moving to a completely different location than it once existed. As a result, wind damage stopped happening. The wind now blowing is not due to the wind damage that Benoa has been struggling with for years.

Benoa is not the only one who moved more than he should have.

All the countries present on this island, which Benoa and Benoagard call themselves, were moving from where they were supposed to be. The island drifts across the sea, and the destination is where it is now. It is utterly unclear where its present location will hit Iles Valle, nor do we know what is going on outside the sea.

It is not hard to imagine that the anxiety that it might be only the island of Benoa that survived the “Great Destruction” has anxiously driven one living in this country and end-of-life ideas have spread. The “Great Destruction” that tore the continent apart and transformed the world itself greatly was not surprising when human beings appeared inclined to end-of-life ideas.

Benoagard, roughly two years after such an unprecedented natural disaster but still in the midst of chaos, finally began to regain his composure.

That and this is due to Setuna, starting with Knights Chief Osfeld Zan-Ward, who said that the Knights executives, the Orthodox Knights, and one who had nothing to do with the Knights kept his mouth shut. The citizens of Benoa, the people of Benoagard, admire Setuna in that way, all but because the Knights announced it in that way and hustled it to a great extent. It was about the Knights who witnessed the battle of Setuna, and many ordinary citizens have no reason to know that Setuna challenged the battle for the survival of Benoagard. And I thought that was fine.

It doesn't matter what other people think.

It's not about who knows what to think.

Setsuna's, she's just fighting her own battle.

It's just that the place of that own battle happened to be in Benoagard, and it just displaced me without staying on this spot.

(often referred to as…)

He narrowed his eyes as he watched the ceiling float across the darkness with strange glances. In a world where the darkness of the night is overwhelming, only the light of the moon entering through the window is the source of light to tear the darkness apart. Setuna's bedroom. But I have something to sleep on. It's Rem. She's been sneaking into Setuna's bunk more often than not here. As a squire, as a servant, all I can say is that she failed, but he didn't want anything. It is on her own that Rem behaves as a servant in the first place. Setsuna never told Rem to be his servant. You just have to act as she wants. Yes, I'm thinking.

I can only imagine why she's diving into Setuna's bunk, perhaps due to two years of loneliness. For two years, Setuna left her alone. If I couldn't get in touch, I couldn't stay on my side and do it, so I can't help it, but it's not a matter of saying I don't have a choice. Didn't Rem feel lonely the whole time he kept sleeping?

That's what I think, so I'm relieved that Rem is resting next door. Because Setsuna also knows how delightful it is for humans to sleep in peace.

I kind of knew why my eyes were staring.

It must have been because I saw through about Luveris and Shanoah.

Luveris said it was a matter for both of us. But he was a Knights executive, and it was also a matter of his life. In case something should happen. Setsuna was going to intervene no matter what he did. You can't let Leveris die. Whatever the reason, whatever he wanted it to be, he couldn't let it kill him.

Most of all, it didn't turn out the way Setsuna was prepared.

Shanor, trying to kill Luveris, could not. I can only imagine Setuna being nothing more than an unrelated other person, whether she was really going to kill me or just couldn't contain the high cost of her emotions.

Irrelevant others.

Now, Setuna wished them both happiness.

Luveris and Shanoah.

Two people who were caring and merciful of each other. Why should those two be seen like this? Why does fate make it so tough on the two of you? What did you two do? Didn't we just love each other?

Without even coming up with a way to handle the anger without a place to go, Luveris prompted me to go back to my bedroom. Then for about two hours, it was midnight when Lem and I discussed it. Rem slept, Setuna couldn't sleep. I couldn't sleep, and all the time went by. Hearing the sound of the gradual increase in the momentum of the weak wind, I think about it, unable to handle the swirling emotions deep in my chest. Then I heard a moving noise, not a sleeping breath.

"Can't you sleep?

"Are you awake?"

"Yes, I don't need to sleep, it's this much before breakfast."

Rem comes without even a dust. Seeing as she's not a sleeping eye, maybe what she says is true.

"It's definitely early for breakfast."

"Please don't tear it up"

"You mean you."

When Setuna erupted, Rem came looking extremely serious.

"Your husband."

"... Okay, I get it"

Setuna looked up to the ceiling, clapping her shoulders at the sharpness of Rem's reaction and trying to give up everything.

He said he couldn't sleep.

"Are you referring to Master Luveris and Master Shanor?

"Oh."

Nod, affirm. It was just so hard not to match the sight I saw a few hours ago with the sight I saw years ago.

"For me it's a little different when it comes to benefactors - but it's something similar. Even though I was watching, it doesn't change the fact that those two were taking care of me and Ragna."

It was during Benoa's detention. It will be nearly three years ago. Both Setuna and Ragna were definitely able to stay healthy because Luveris and Shanoah took care of them. Even if the other knights were watchmen, they would have been given a minimum guarantee, but I don't have to imagine it wasn't high treatment that far.

"Why those two..."

"It's something I can't help thinking about."

"That's a cold one."

"Cold or nothing, let's be true, shall we?

Rem peeks into Setuna's face. The eyes that were black are stained with the same bloody red as Setuna one day. Only Setuna must be reflected in those eyes.

"Your husband thought, what can you solve? Can we get Master Shanoah back to normal now?

"... you won't be able to"

Setuna turned away, trying to escape from Lem's manners. What she says is nothing but true argument. No matter how much you think about it, no matter how much you worry about it, if you can't have a solution, it's futile. I have no choice.

Setuna has a subpoena armed with immense power. Black spear. Named Chaos Blinger, it was a summoning armed with tremendous aggressiveness, whose unparalleled destructive power did not allow other followers to follow and even scratch God. But it's not an all-powerful force or anything. It's just the power to bring destruction. Neither did black spears that overwhelmed others in destroying subjects have the power to heal wounds or minds. Some of my family members are responsible for life. The Mask of Dispair gives Rem his tentative first life and keeps him in the world. But it is the power to manipulate the dead, not to act on the living. Nor could he have taken it with the power of any other family member, but stepped into the realm of one spirit - the soul - and treated it.

Black spears and their families exert an overwhelming power and presence in destruction, but it is even good to say that they are indifferent to anything else.

"That's why."

"I don't even know what your husband wants to say. Your husband can't overlook the troubled one. I know you want to help Master Luveris..."

"I know. I know there's nothing I can do about it."

Is it still a bad thing to think about?

Is it something that those two shouldn't laugh at each other again and pray that the time will come when we can talk about the future?

Of course, I understand that Lem didn't forbid that. She just cared about Setsuna as a girlfriend. It's just that Setsuna worried about Shanoah and thought it wouldn't interfere in the future.

When he came to think of it that way, Setuna looked sideways at Rem. The girl leaning next to him looked like she was being blamed for herself in response to Setuna's reaction, and he was unconsciously hugging her.

"Thanks"

"Uh, uh, your husband...?

"I'm a good guy."

"Yes..."

"Tamabu"

I didn't say anything wild about what was going on.

There is no point in prying.

Because you don't even understand what you're saying.
