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

March 27, the continental calendar five hundred and six.

Setuna and Faria were to return to their respective places.

The information brought by Ruufa, who arrived at Setuna's lair in search of the Demonic Crystal Dolls, prompted both of them to return to their daily lives.

It was late March 18th that Setuna took Faria away from the Battle Palace. Not to stop an assassination plot by extremists within the Guardian Peak Samurai, but to end in failure. It was all Alexei-Valdish's intention and a measure to wipe out the Guardian Peak Samurai extremists - it should be - but the information Luufa brought revealed that everything Setsuna heard from Alexei was bullshit.

It is true that after Setuna captured Faria, there was an intruder in the Battle Palace and was detained by Seven Heavenly Samurai leader Syvil-Saudwin, whose intruders, in fact, broke into the Battle Palace by Alexei's guidance.

It is a practical form of security training drawn up by Alexei, an intruder, testified by two men, Skol-Baldish and Arcelia-Fananlung, who were imprisoned immediately after their detention, and Alexei also admitted it, he said. Alexei felt a sense of crisis after the Second Defense War that the Guardian Peak Samurai and the Seven Great Heavenly Samurai were strangely swamped. And he testifies that he devised a one-hands-on form of security training, asked his big nephew Skoll and Arcelia to do it, and moved it to execution.

Alexei stated that he would resign as Acting Speaker in order to make noise, not only in the air capital, but also in Lyohan as a whole, but that he had gained nothing from the desperate deterrence of the members of the Mountain Protection Council. If so many senators now quit acting as chairman, there will be no one left to wrap up the Mountain Protection Conference, because it will only be confusing.

That's good.

The problem is that right after Setuna grabbed Faria, those who broke into the Battle Palace actually broke in at Alexei's request, and were not radical anti-war goddesses or anything. He was arguably a sharp vanguard of the goddess of war, such as Skol-Valdish.

This would mean that there was no such thing as a plan to assassinate the goddess of war due to a runoff of anti-war goddesses within the Guardian Peak Samurai, which was a madness to let Setuna grab Faria and give Faria a frequent vacation. In short, Alexei was plotting it.

That's how Setuna understood it, because Faria, who understood and recognized everything, gave a cordial and polite explanation based on the information brought to her by Ruufa.

What malice towards Alexei with a clear understanding of all those events was only because it was a late act of thinking of my beloved granddaughter. Not for myself, not for Lyohan. However, thinking for her granddaughter, Alexei must have acted ready to make everything depressing. I can see that, so I can't say it badly, and I don't think so. I didn't think he was deceived, conspired, or used.

It's just...

"I wish I could have asked honestly, without going around like that."

When Setsuna gave her honest thoughts, Faria seemed strangely obsessed.

"Hehe."

"What the fuck?"

"Something I know what will happen if I ask Setsuna to be honest. My grandfather wouldn't have asked for it, and my head would have grown stubborn."

"Why would I do that?"

"'Cause you can't fool one, can you?

Setuna had no words to return, in response to the words that Faria had asked with a full grin. I just have to swallow the words.

"Ugh..."

"At that time, if you knew everything and knew you were trying to fool me, I would have gone right back to the Battle Palace. That's all I can do. But it wasn't. You were trying to protect me purely. I didn't know the truth. I guess it's because everything your grandfather told you... but that's why I stayed here. And I decided to accept your grandfather's thoughts."

Faria put her hand on her chest and went to feel Alexei's compassion. So I guess so. Setsuna had no idea that Alexei had fooled her or that in the end she was just being used. Instead, I wanted to have my head on the fact that I was just stunned by my stupidity, or purity, for not realizing Alexei's sincerity, and because of this, I couldn't help gathering information about Rem either. Though.

"You have to thank your grandfather."

As Faria said, there was.

Alexei prepared it for me for two days.

It will be a time of unparalleled happiness, not only for Faria, but also for Setuna, something that will last a lifetime, unforgettable.

Faria just lit up a little bit.

"You took such a roundabout, I could be honest with you, too."

"Honestly..."

"Yeah. Honestly."

Faria, so to speak, has stared into Setuna's eyes. That was the honest emotion that had to be straightened out. In other words, it's a favor, it's a love. Setuna also stared at Faria with so much love that she couldn't beat her. We stared at each other for a while as it was and even forgot that time had passed.

"So shall we go back... on a daily basis"

"... oh"

With a little shame, I nod.

Because going back to your routine also means you won't be able to have time for two. We may no longer be able to discuss reciprocity in this way with Faria, all the more so by communicating favors. The thoughts fit. Sometimes, however, a position or circumstance doesn't allow it. I guess Faria is strong because she understands that and can still end these two moments with the will from scratch. It's not sweet.

Sometimes I wonder if I can stay sweet or something.

Speaking of which, I know Faria said it was too sweet.

"I will return to the goddess of war. And you?"

"I'm me. I'm just a human being called Setuna-Kamiya."

"Oh, not a hero?

"You can call me that if you want, but I'm me. You, too, aren't you?

"Yeah. Right, that's good, right? You are you. I am me. And I love you."

Unexpectedly cuddled, Setsuna stopped breathing. Faria's long blue hair rests on her face and the smell of her hair tickles her nasal cavity. And he felt Phalia's gentle but full embrace, and he also embraced her body.

"Faria......"

"I've been alone with you for the past few days, and I've figured things out."

In Setuna's ear, as Faria whispers. Don't let anyone but Setuna hear you. A small voice, like not even the Demonic Crystal Dolls will hear.

"I knew there was nothing I could do without you, living in a world without you."

"Me too..."

Setuna was honestly in tune as she took Faria's thoughts. It was a true feeling. Having spent the last few days alone with her, I recognised. My feelings for her are so fundamental that I can't help it, and that's what I'm building myself into right now. I see that. It was the first time I met Faria. The first to this day. I have her, I have myself.

"I can't imagine a world without Faria."

"Setuna......"

Staring at each other, again, hugging each other.

Only now will we be able to stay in this way, and when we leave this place, both Setuna and Faria will have to live in their position, in their own circumstances. I can see that, so maybe we were both desperate. Desperately, I may have tried to convey my thoughts. Even when I left, I kept thinking about it.

"... thanks. You're alive."

"That's our dialogue."

Setuna grinned as she gently wiped the tears that were in Faria's eyes.

"Thanks"

She was alive.

That's it, Setuna can fight.
