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

Episode 257: Nine Tails of White Hair, Again (12)

"Setuna. You're not bad at all. I'm one of your men, and you just ordered us. And it's only natural to obey that order. If it's an unreasonable order or you don't want to die, you can stop being a subordinate. I was free to do that. But neither I nor anyone left your men. That means I accepted to die on your orders."

"Sheila......"

Setuna called the name, staring into her blue eyes. Sheila. She must have caught a bitter eye. Dragon House defense in the final war is nothing more than some kind of suicide. It's like dying because you take the overwhelming quantity of Vashtarian troops approaching from the north. Still, Sheila and the others did not leak one dissatisfaction, nor did they rebel. As she said, I guess that means she even accepted to die, but that's why she can't affirm all of that battle.

She lost a lot.

At least, all the former samurai who went down to Gandhia with her and became part of the Black Beasts seem to have scattered their lives. It was for this reason that she rampaged her power and became a white haired nine-tail and went wild. There was so much pity, anger, and despair.

I was blamed for what I did.

But Sheila's expression and voice had no intention of pursuing Setuna's responsibilities. Rather, he was such a setuna and merciful kind.

"Well, it was hard to lose everyone. I was desperate too. But there's a lot to blame on Setsuna. That's not what they want."

I mean those guys, of course, who were Sheila's former samurai and key Black Beasts personnel. Wellis-Quid, Krona-Swen, Misha-Carrel, Anna-Mead, and Liza Mead. Everyone was just a woman who cared. Those who want only Sheila's happiness and have dedicated their lives only for Sheila. Sheila believed in them from the bottom of her heart and asked for them. That's why the pain of that loss must have been great and hopeless.

Would it be like losing the phalia if I tried to make it Setuna?

Because, in the end, Setsuna felt Sheila's heart ache, not something she could stand. And I wondered what I could do for her like that.

"What they wanted... was somewhere else."

"Everyone wants..."

"Hmm... you did. I forgot."

"Don't forget, Nine Tails of White Hair. You're a dear companion to me."

"... um. Let's not forget."

Heart of Beast Nine Tails of White Hair smiled a little, happy. And I'm transferring my gaze to Setuna. Setuna's face was reflected in golden eyes bordered by long lashes.

"Okay, then it's Setuna. Promise me again."

"Hmm? Promise?

"You can never let Sheila go from now on. I'll accompany you."

"Ha!?

Sheila, of course, was the one who raised her bare voice first. It is only natural that Setuna could not react because of that sheila's too intense reaction. Sheila, disturbed by the remarks of Nine-Tailed White Hair, grabbed her chest. Sheila's face was stained bright red like never before.

"Nine Tails of White Hair, what are you doing!

"What the hell. Until you said what you wanted. Sheila, what are you ashamed of?"

Nine-tailed white hair had a cool face, even when Sheila was awesome. Rather, it's the look and attitude that makes Sheila think she's lovely. Sheila roars.

"Huh!?

"I thought you wanted to accompany Setsuna. Didn't change your mind, did you?

"... is there a reason for that!

When Sheila put it between beats and said back to Nine Tails of White Hair, Nine Tails of White Hair smiled quietly. And Sheila returned it to me a few seconds later. She has turned to Setuna with her face bright red as she calmly pondered what she proclaimed out loud.

"Oh, oh, uh, Setuna, no, no! No, it's not, but, you know, I don't know...!

Sheila's expression, words and deeds, which are vehemently werewolf, are not even trying to hide her true intentions. I feel a feverish affection to the point of awesomeness. So, not so, Setuna nodded quietly, staring at her like that.

"Oh. I promise, Nine Tails of White Hair"

"Isn't that true? Next time you break your promise, you'll never know."

"I know. Now I'll keep my word."

This time, I don't even have to be pushed.

I broke my promise once. That was no longer an irrevocable mistake. I lost a lot of things and it resulted in hurting a lot of people. Nobody will have anything that didn't hurt you as one person, and you'll never get much of what you lost back. Breaking a promise is like that. It will be irrevocable. If you don't like that, you just have to promise from the beginning. That way, at least there will be no loss due to a covenant rebellion. However, in that case, no bond can be created by entering into an undertaking.

Of course, I'm not thinking about that when Setuna makes a promise. It's not that deep of a thought. It's just a story about never wanting to do anything more than break a promise, and that's why there's self-blame and self-restraint.

Never again.

"Hey Setuna, what are you...!

Seeing Sheila go out of her mind, Setsuna asked her a question.

"Sheila, don't you like my side?

"Oh, you can't be! What the hell are you doing?

"Well, then, that's fine."

"No, well, yeah, but hey..."

It's not like an acceptance or anything, but what an embarrassment to see Sheila affirm, I guess. Nine tails of white hair nodded with utmost satisfaction.

"Mm-hmm. Everything worked out now"

"What is it, idiot?"

"I don't want to be loved by my daughter."

"Knock..."

Setsuna was at heart relieved when she could see that Sheila was a casual speaker of Nine-Tailed White Hair's remarks, but she could do whatever she wanted that way. A bond between Sheila and Heart of Beast is not something that a subpoena weapon and just a subpoena weapon can have. I guess there was an extra wavelength, and the Heart of Beast liked Sheila. Sheila's temperament, character, and spirituality don't make any subpoena armed seem to like it, but, anyway, it was rare.

At least, I never heard of the subpoena armed and the subpoena armed men who had put their minds through this far.

"Come on, let's go back, Sheila. I still have things to do."

"Well, it's Setuna. What are you gonna do with them?

Regardless of who they are, they must mean the Imperial Army. It's as if the Imperial Army doesn't understand what the intention was to push him to Malwale. She just recognizes herself as the enemy that pushed herself against Zalwarn. Therefore he tried to ravage with overwhelming force, and was mad at Setuna's suppression.

"I'm going to persuade you"

"Persuasion? I don't think so."

"That's when."

"Setuna......"

"What are you falling back in love with, you color-loving daughter? Why don't you just solve the ninetail? Otherwise you won't have it. You won't be able to indulge my dear Setuna."

"Ugh, uuch!

She was Sheila, who hung herself on Nine Tails of White Hair, but when she put up a summoning armed Heart of Beast, she blushed as she remembered.

"... no, but the..."

"What's up?

"Well, what are you ashamed of? Why don't you just do it? Don't make me wait too long."

"So, when you solve this,"

Seeing that Sheila was screwed, Setsuna remembered that time. During the Abad unrest, Sheila unlocked Nine Tails of White Hair due to Setuna's persuasion, but at that time Sheila lost everything she was wearing and was thrown out naked. It's inexorable to remember that time and be embarrassed. She'll also know what's going on outside the Nine Tails of White Hair.

"Oh, you mean that. I'll take care of it."

"... trust me, okay?

Believe me.

"Yeah...... ok"

Sheila looked into Setuna's eyes and nodded.

"I don't know... well, good. Setuna."

"Hmm?"

If you don't make Sheila happy, you won't understand.

The golden eyes of the nine tails of white hair were shining strong. There was a strong willingness not to allow betrayal there. Strong, intense thoughts. That would be one scale of love for Sheila. So, not so, Setuna nodded, staring into her eyes.

"Oh, I know, Nine Tails of White Hair"

"I believe that word. Bye."

Sooner or later, when I wondered if the whole body of the nine tails of white hair had shed a pale light, it melted in the void and disappeared. It was early enough to leave no aftertaste even. Still, Setuna and Sheila kept staring into the void for a while. It is obvious that it is now with the protection of the nine tails of white hair.

"... I'll do anything I can. That's what I want."

I want everyone around me to be happy with the one person involved in me. That is at least a reward and a heartfelt wish of Setuna. That doesn't change.
