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

Episode One Thousand Eight Hundred Eight Hundred and Eight: Seeking Hope (I)

Setsuna, who gained the means to cross the sea by cooperating with the Western Zaion Empire, followed Benoa on February 3rd, the day after the meeting.

It was a glaring day with no time to rest, but Setuna was neither dissatisfied nor complained about it. It's all for me. It's impossible to leak dissatisfaction even though you're moving around for yourself. If you want to rest, you can rest as much as you want, so complaining is a big mistake.

Setsuna wanted to get to Lyohan as soon as possible and as soon as a second. Sometimes Maria is rushing me, but the fact that my stay in Benoa lasted more than a month definitely made Setuna mentally rushed.

Regardless of cooperation with the Knights, it has since taken a long time for the means of crossing the sea to be found. But that was something I couldn't help but say that this is still too soon. It is no exaggeration to say that a miracle has happened.

"We found a ship together to look for Lyohan, so we thought we should be happy."

Rem praised Setuna in haste, saying such things from time to time. If you try it on her, maybe you have some thoughts about what you're in a hurry for. It's nothing that happens in a hurry. I was in a hurry, and there's nothing I can do about it if it's not a ship, and there's nothing I can do about it if I can't find Vashtarian territory.

I know that, but I still wanted to hurry.

Hurry, I want to go for Vashtalia and get to Lyohan.

I believed that was what Maria wanted, and that it would do for her former companions who would be there.

Faria, Luufa, Miliu - all the things that flew Gandion that day, they say, are in Lyohan. More than two years after that, they say they live in Lyohan, but Setsuna was not worried about Faria.

Became a goddess of war, he said.

Faria is a responsible woman. If you accepted to be a goddess of war, you would try to play that role perfectly, and you could. But with the strength of that responsibility, will some imposition arise to try to hold all of the burden of being a goddess of war alone? Is it something that can withstand a huge load? She is never one of the weak ones. But I'm not the only one who can survive without someone's support. Who's on your side, and you have to support him.

Even though it is not so arrogant that it is only Setuna's role, it will certainly be the role that Setuna can take on as well.

Miliu, too, is worried.

She has been mentally unstable since before the final war. It is remembered that instability accelerated during the period with Eryl Alm's engagement. Perhaps the fact that Setuna might be gone from her side had a negative effect on her spirit. Afterwards, I can imagine if I think of some reason I brought it back together. And if I'm right about that imagination, it's horrible to think about how much negative Setsuna's had to do with her in less than two years of absence.

I want you to be safe.

Faria and Miliu are not the only ones. Ruufa, Emil, Gloria, Asla, and Elina were extremely worried.

We're all talking about being safe, at least until Maria leaves Lyohan, but that's a health story, not a mental one.

'Cause I'm a doctor. Physical health care is good for you.'

Maria said she can't support it to the mental level.

That's why I want Setsuna to go to Lyohan, right?

Maria thinks the same way Setuna does.

I believe that Setsuna can be a spiritual support for the Phalia people.

Setuna wanted to live up to Maria's expectations like that and thought it was something she had to live up to.

I craved a ship to leave the island because such thoughts drive Setuna.

On the morning of the third, Setuna took her last breakfast at Finn Light Mansion.

At the table, besides Setuna and Rem, were Luveris and Shanoah.

Shanor had regained so much energy here that he wheelchaired around the mansion that he had recovered to make contact with others other than Luveris one by one. Little by little, but it looks like we're definitely getting back to our old girlfriend. Because of my mind, I think I've got more smiles.

"Though I don't know the cause."

Luveris, though he laughed puzzled, would be the husband who is most pleased that Shanor has come to smile.

Setsuna was happy, of course. Shanor had taken care of her, and Ragna had allowed her to. She liked Ragna, too. I wanted to bring Ragna in one day and reunite her, he thought. To do this, first, Setuna had to reunite with Ragna, and that was the big problem.

There's nothing we can do if Ragna hasn't succeeded in reincarnating. And even if you were successful in reincarnating, you have to know where you are. On top of that, the means of travel to that location must be ensured. Anyway, there is nothing more important than securing a means of movement in a world that is no longer a land of continuation.

"Nothing. It didn't have to be yesterday today."

"Because you can't be sweet forever"

"It's okay? He said he'd always been sweet. Welcome to the Knight of Honor. Not each other. Hey?"

When Luveris spoke to Shanoah, Shanoah nodded yeah. I still can't talk, but I can communicate my intentions, and my emotions are getting richer. From that day when Luveris and Shanoah hit each other in the heart, Shanoah is starting to change so much that it looks different than before. Did exposing each other to the bottom of their minds work? Still not recovering instantly is fate mischief or not.

"It's the mountains that want to do that."

"... yeah. I know. You have a purpose, too."

"Yes."

I nod, staring at Luveris' slightly unfortunate face. Purpose. A great purpose and a small purpose in front of you. First we aim to reach Lyohan, a small purpose. To that end, we must leave this place.

Here, Luveris' mansion was an extremely cozy place. Built exclusively with love for Shanor, the mansion is caring and comfortable to live in. Besides, every butler and servant in the mansion was a good one.

It's not just the Finn Light Mansion.

Benoa itself had become a cozy place for Setuna.

The Knights were a great organization, only to put salvation in their philosophy. There is no arrogance in that philosophy, and everyone sincerely and seriously thinks about salvation. Everyone is burning their lives to the philosophy of salvation. Many of the knights, though serious, could see the goodness of one at the same time. There is also the breadth of the measure that flatly embraces former enemies like Setuna.

The organization Knights was also a cozy place for Setuna.

"I'm not stopping you. Something you took care of. I can't even put it on the knight's wind to pull his legs any further. Though it's true that I miss you"

I feel the same way.

Setuna realized her loneliness at the impending breakup with Luveris, Shanor and the others.

Later, after a bounced breakfast of conversation, Setuna and Rem, packed in luggage, were to be dropped off by the Luveris in the front yard of the Finn Light Mansion.

Setuna's luggage is not a big deal. It was about the numerous medicines Maria had previously entrusted to me in a bag packed with many dresses that Luveris had prepared for me. There was no need for weapon protection equipment or anything else, and in that regard, armed summoners can take it easy.

"Lyohan..."

Luveris, standing behind Shanor's wheelchair, made a difficult face.

The "Great Destruction” made the continent split apart. It is not hard to imagine other countries wandering the sea in the same way as Benoagard became one island and drifted across the sea with all its neighbours. There was no doubt that the Vashtarian territory of Lyohan's presence had also been mutilated, as the imperial territory had been mutilated to the north and south. It means that God's protection did not protect our territory.

"Right now, we don't know where it is, but we just have to find it with guts"

"Hey...... I know it's a big deal, but if you don't give up, you'll find it hard one day"

"Yes."

I nodded forcefully.

Of course, I'm not going to give up or anything.

"Setuna-kun. Thanks for everything. Thanks to you, Benoagard is going to be able to get it back together. Thanks to you for everything. I really appreciate it."

"I'm not the only one. All of you."

"Yeah. I know that too. What we all support. Still, it's true you couldn't have defeated God without you."

I did not deny that word of Luveris because it is true. Who but Setuna, carrying a black spear, could repel Ashtra? Even where the Knights executives united the power of the True Body, wasn't it difficult? It must have been extremely low, although not all of them were possible.

God is a being with different dimensions of power than man. What will become of the true body, which boasts an overwhelming power over man, also before God?

"Thank you, too, Rem. Shanoah, I think I like you, and someday, I'll show you my face. 'Cause I think you'll be feeling better then."

"Yes, Master Luveris, Master Shanor, and all of you, please be well. We look forward to seeing you again someday."

Thus, Setuna and Rem followed the Finn Light mansion. Even after Setuna and the others boarded the carriage that was ready outside the gate, Luveris and Shanor, plus the butlers and servants, kept dropping me off.

The carriage leads to the Knights headquarters.

For a greeting to the Knights Cavalier below.

If you leave Benoa, you won't be back here for a while.

The only time I could say hello was now.
