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

Episode Two Thousand Twenty-two Thoughts, Explore (I)

A few days have passed since the Ark flew Lyohan.

Halfway through the month of April, little by little but the winter cold was beginning to turn away, so that cold clothing could also be spent lightly during the day and so on. Children accustomed to the cold, such as in the middle of the day, rush around in thin clothes and are often pissed off by their parents, with sights that can be described precisely as Lyohan himself.

Every time she encountered such a sight, she immersed herself in a feeling of nostalgia and happiness remembering her own childhood and when her daughter was still young. And finally, I realize that I was finally able to get home from birth with my own thoughts.

I've been wandering around the world for over a decade.

It has nothing to do with your will, either, by the thoughts of someone else in red.

Azmaria-Altemax.

The ancestor of the armed summons, also known as the original summoner and the great summoner, was abhored even as a Red Devil. The biggest cause of that was the Lyohan raid by Azmaria, and it was also then that her husband, Mericus-Aslalia, was put in her hands.

And shortly afterwards, she chose the path to become Azmarian's successor in order to protect her beloved daughter from Azmaria. Then again, she continues to exist as the flesh of Azmaria. Her flesh, which became the flesh of Azmaria, no longer belonged to her, but also her consciousness, which was always like sagging through a dream. We have to keep having long, long nightmares, those days went on.

Even so, there is a great reason why she doesn't necessarily hate Azmaria, but rather even appreciates it.

That is what relates to the death of my beloved husband Merricks.

Merricus-Aslalia is not originally a person in this world. Called from the other world by the Azmarian Summoning Armed Gate of Vermillion, he is able to speak of and follow his training as an armed summoner in Lyohan, not knowing his right or left.

Merricks was following Azmarian instructions without a word or two because he was saved by Azmarian summons, he said. If Azmaria's summons had been even a moment late, there would have been no life for him. I later found out what that meant, but when I heard the story, it was something I thanked Azmaria for saving his life as a result.

Because she was in love with Merricks.

His appearance, as he greedily learns things more than anyone else, engages in training, continues to build his body, but also sees it at the end of the world with an often worrying look, was not more fascinating than this to her, who only knows the narrow heavens and earth called Lyohan. Lyohan usually does not accept humans from the outside world.

Lyohan, independent of the Vashtarian Community, was glad to say that the island itself floats in the great sea called Vashtaria. From a Vashtarian human being, one of the Lyohans is a traitor, a treacherous man and not an exaggeration of the Vashtarian Church. There can't be a city like Lyohan, where they live, to interact with each other.

In other words, Lyohan himself tightly shuts the gates and closely monitors human access from the outside world. A person outside is an extremely rare being, and Merricks was a prominent figure in that sense as well. For one thing, it was well-groomed, as if it were some kind of princess, so much so that the women would make a scene just by looking at each other, or something.

Lyohan did not interact with the outside world, but for that matter, internal interaction was extremely intense. Though each of the three residential districts, Aerial Capital, Mountain City and Mountain Gate Street, were separated, there was no such thing as a daily exchange going on and off. It may be said that metabolism is constantly occurring, and the virtue of its blood circulation may be one of the reasons why Lyohan was kept through his independency.

However, if I tried to make it what I was born and raised in Lyohan, it would be a situation where I would just look familiar anywhere in the three compartments, and I couldn't say enough that I would never have a feeling of obstruction that would clog my breath. For something particularly sensitive, Lyohan's heavens and earth would have seemed like a narrow cage. But most of them ended their lives in a limited land called Mount Lyov, and few questioned that. I was born in Lyohan and die in Lyohan. That was the pride of one who was born and raised in Lyohan, and could be called a natural dish.

So there will be.

The emergence of Mericus-Aslalia gave Lyohan a great stimulus. At the time, Azmaria, who was admired by one of Lyohan's great ancestral summoners, brought him here. I couldn't resist accepting it, even though I didn't know it was any horsebone. And Merricks' seriousness, diligence, and greed were welcomed with fondness by Lyohan's armed summoners.

She was also one of those who favourably embraced Merricks that way, but at the same time envied him for being able to receive the help of Azmaria, the esteemed Mother's Master.

Merricks was a disciple of Azmaria, but while Azmaria was not in Lyohan, her high brother hit his mentor. I mean, it's her mother, Faria-Valdish.

At that time, beside his role as a goddess of war, Faria-Baldish provided instruction in the art of armed summoning when he found gaps, and it was his greatest pleasure for the armed summoners of Lyohan to receive direct instruction from the goddess of war. She, too, was supremely pleased to receive a handshake from her mother, and was glad that there was even a little time for that. But even for such a small amount of time, I was just a little dissatisfied and didn't mind being taken by Merricks, an Azmarian apprentice. We shouldn't have to bother depriving ourselves of the time of our great leader because we can be coached by the highest armed summoner of our time: Azmaria. I guess I came to think of it that way because I was still young and blue.

Having the opportunity to discuss that with Merricks marked a turning point in her life.

Merricks said she would face her jealousy sincerely and help her. Although she was bewildered by his unexpected reaction, the next day, she would begin training with him, and that was what sprouted her new values.

It was only a matter of time before it turned into a romance when a love of admiration for Merricks arose. Eventually she will love Merricks as one man and Merricks will accept her thoughts as well. And I got married when they were only in their twenties.

The marriage of the beloved daughter of the goddess of war and the beloved apprentice of the original summoner became such a fuss as to shake the heavens and the earth of Lyohan that he envied and blessed the marriage of one and all throughout Lyohan.

The culmination of happiness would be exactly this.

She narrowed her eyes when she remembered a wedding in the air capital under a clear sky. The energies of the children rushing through the townships of the aerial capital are no different than they used to be. One thing, it hasn't changed. If there's something unusual, I guess it's in me.

Take a slow stretch and take a deep breath to replace the air full of lungs.

Miriam-Aslaria walks around the capital of the air every day, trying to enjoy a peaceful day in Lyohan.

Whenever I see the same view of the capital, I can't help but remember that day more than a decade ago.

Because that was the turning point in her second life.

Azmaria was admired and revered by one throughout Lyohan that day, until that happened, as the greatest meritor in Lyohan, and as the inventor of the art of armed subpoena, the original ancestor. If faith in the goddess of war was the first pillar, faith in Azmaria was so strong and profound that one of Lyohan's thoughts on Azmaria could be called the second pillar.

That, I guess.

Azmaria has given great power to one of Lyohan, who has wanted independence from Vashtaria for centuries. Its power came to fruition in the form of Lyohan's independent autonomy, and the long-standing hope of one of Lyohan's was fulfilled. The War of Independence gave birth to a subject of faith called the goddess of war, but in fact, it was an event that also made faith in Azmaria certain.

The new power that Azmaria has brought to Lyohan, the art of armed summons, gives one of Lyohan the temper and self-esteem of independence and finally leads to winning independence from the Vashtarian community, the corner of the three forces. It was only natural for the citizens of Lyohan to look to Azmaria as an object of faith.

Most importantly, Azmaria never seemed comfortable with the reaction of the Lyohan citizens.

She did not visit Lyohan to be a subject of faith.

That said, Azmaria did not even deny that she was considered a subject of faith, and, if she had time, she did an armed summoning manoeuvre to one. Especially keen to unravel the children, he breathed that the excellent armed summoner of the future would come from here.

She became Lyohan's enemy because of that incident, which happened more than a decade ago now.

That day, when all of Mount Lyoff was engulfed in flames, the honeymoon days of Lyohan and Azmaria came to an end with a sound.
