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

Episode One Thousand Nine Hundred Forty-Seven: Reaper and Goddess of War

"Really... yet, Lord Setsuna stays asleep,"

"Yes. Truly unfortunate, your husband has not even shown any signs of being awake. You must have worn out the rest of it. I have not recovered from my physical or mental health."

"... it would be"

Faria affirmed the girl's words, making sure to sigh and combine her puppeted beauty and pity no different than before. Though it's a girl, that's on the outside. No, physical age, too, maybe you're right. but mental age would be something different. She lives her years more than she looks.

She's the reaper who looked like a girl. Far from his actual age, he is because he is no longer grown or old, as he was when the flesh became Reaper. Immortality. That is what she is now, and in many cases it would be an enviable trait for humans. I don't know if she's happy with it. but at least she didn't seem to enjoy the present situation. That alone would be salvation for the person who gave her such a cursed predicament.

Her name is Rem.

He was once on that boy's side with Faria, and with the boy he was destined to continue to be. That hasn't changed yet. She showed herself in the land with him, beside him still sleeping, nursing. With her, Faria will be able to focus safely on her duties as a goddess of war. If you're a lem, you have no problem leaving him to you. There can't be a problem.

What Faria is discussing with Rem is the seat of the battlefield, the deepest part of the Lyohan Aerial Capital and Battle Palace. The Battle Palace, with its walls, ceilings and shields other than columns removed in the pursuit of good ventilation, was no exception in its deepest room. There's no way we can hide things or talk secretly.

"Lord Setuna did much to protect Lyohan over the Divine Army. We have heard from Master Malik and everyone about that battle. After all, it's so active that it doesn't seem like a human business, or so much so that it's been talking grass all over Lyohan."

What Faria said is no flattery or anything.

All I could say about his - Setuna's activity was that it was awesome.

In the battle ahead, which became known as the Second Lyohan Defense Battle, Setsuna not only became a decision to repel the Divine Army, but also served to minimize Lyohan's damage. That was rescuing the Maliks struggling with the 30,000 gods who had arrived in Lyohan Mountain Gate Street, half-successful in repelling the gods. Instead of showing himself on the main battlefield and covering the main army of Phalia and Lyohan, Setsuna used the Shadow Warrior created by Mizu to protect Lyohan and show him.

Thousands of shadow warriors used for this purpose have been found to be using the abilities of Mask of Dispair by Rem's description. That by maximizing the ability of the mask of dispersal, we were able to produce so many identity-like things. It is also very active on the main battlefield and prevents the spread of damage to Lyohan army headquarters.

Such activity of Setsuna passes from the mouths of the armed summoners who went to the Yamagata Street defense battle all over Lyohan, bustling around Lyohan with the name of Setsuna, a useful actor in the Lyohan victory.

This is not the first time that the name of Setuna-Kamiya has been known to Lyohan. About two years ago, after Falia returned to Lyohan, it was like her grandmother Falia-Valdish had made the name of Setuna known all over Lyohan.

That's what Faria thinks, too.

When I found out about it, it was something I was about to graduate from with a lot of embarrassment, and even one of my grudges made me want to say something to my grandmother, but now I was able to afford it so much that I thought it would have been appreciated.

A strange gaze gathers in Phalia when Setsuna comes to the table. When I got used to it and eventually was able to keep my chest up, I was able to be honest with my feelings. Honestly admit and accept that you are a thinker. It's not a lie, so you don't have to deny it or be shy. That doesn't mean there's anything wrong with being known. There is no decision that the goddess of war should not favor an individual.

It's true that my grandmother, too, loved her grandfather and had a special affection for her family.

Where Faria had special feelings for an individual named Setuna, no one could have complained.

And if that setuna were to be the hero who saved Lyohan from the existential crisis, then everything would change.

"Lord Setuna is the savior and hero of Lyohan. Without Lord Setuna, Lyohan would not have done so, even if he had been able to leave the Divine Army."

Instead of just being sorry, it's not unlikely that he was suffering fatal damage.

Unbound and naked, Lyohan was the object of the Gods' attack. Fortunately, only the goddess on the main battlefield attacked Lyohan at that time, and although Ramles and Setuna dealt with it, the story of Kenan Eusnal also shows that God is joining the Lyohan siege net. What would have happened if the Divine Army had raised its full strength and moved on to Lyohan's offense? If the attacks of the gods were concentrated on Lyohan, whether they could have been prevented or not. At least, it's not hard to imagine that you would have been devastated. And we can also see that that devastating blow can be lethal to Lyohan.

It was therefore unanimous in the conclusion that not only the goddess of war, Faria, but also the patron saints, even the Mountain Protection Conference and the Guardian Samurai, should let go to praise, recognize and give some honor to his achievements.

"It is only with the active work of Lord Setsuna that Lyohan can remain safe in this way. I'm not alone in denying that fact. We have devised a variety of things to reward for it, but as one of them, we want Lord Setsuna to receive the title of Shield Samurai."

"Yoshisamura Yamayama...... is it?

"As a title worthy of His Holiness Setuna, who protected and saved Mount Lyov, this time a new meeting of goddesses of war and mountain protectors was established. The first of these is Lord Setsuna."

"Number one... I'm sure your husband will be delighted."

"I hope so."

Faria spoke anxiety as she stared into Rem's red eyes, which closely resembled his eyes.

"You don't take it, there's no such thing, is there?

"There is no way that your husband will not receive heartfelt devotion from the goddess of war"

Rem's gentle smile appeased Faria from the bottom of her heart. I never thought I'd see the day when I could see the smile I was once used to seeing face to face again like this. No, of course, I wanted to believe that one day there would come a time when I could reunite with Setuna and the Lems, but my days as a goddess of war did not allow that.

For her, who has turned her consciousness all the way to fulfilling her duties as a goddess of war, there can be no time to pray and wish for a reunion with Setuna or Lem. In doing so, all the time passes, everything turns to the past. Fade, when you can no longer get it back, it's something that disappears from a corner of your consciousness. Hope crushes, dreams become illusions.

Unexpected - but the reunion I've been waiting for is dramatic, and Faria thinks that the emotions of that time will never be forgotten.

Words exchanged at that time, emotions embraced, warmth, everything.

Setuna lost consciousness right after that and has been sleeping ever since.

I already heard and knew from Rem how he showed up at that place then. And every time I remembered that, my chest got hot, and I couldn't help but overflow my thoughts about Setsuna.

Setsuna came all the way here, squeezing all her vitality for Faria and everyone else in Lyohan.
