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

"Is that why you're playing Neewehain on me? Tell me to take your place. There's no way you can do that!

Setsuna couldn't help but raise her voice. The emperor's office was a cry because it was located deep on the third floor of the Imperial Strict Palace and there was a premise that there would be no sound leaking even if some shouting, but even if he hadn't heard that, he must have been able to help but scream.

Neewe's thoughts, I understand. His explanation should have allowed him to know exactly what psychological, emotional origin the proposal came from. Even he shouldn't have wanted to suggest this. But that's not how it works. There are circumstances. Nor is that a laughing and listening circumstance. It's not a joke. He's cornered, too. It's stuck in its wings.

Now, at first glance, I wonder why Niewe hugged Setuna and leaked a whimper. He was eager to make contact with Setuna. As soon as possible, not anywhere. There was a rush in him to fight every second of every day.

So, I guess.

He watched Setuna with an extremely calm look. The expression of what we are ready for is always clear. Like he is now.

"Why?"

"What?"

"You and I, we were the same. Born in a different world, identical being. From the shape of the soul, to the colour, there was nothing different about it. You can take my place. Besides, you are health itself. I'm sure I can lead this country as an emperor for years and decades to come. Your duty as emperor is bearable. [M] Nothing hard. There are excellent ministers around. You can leave it to them. You just have to play me."

Neewe says it easily. As if it wasn't difficult.

"That in itself should never be difficult. As I glimpsed your memory, you saw mine, too, didn't you? I should be able to understand how I feel about the people around me and how I've touched them. You can play like that."

Setuna didn't know what made you so sure. Where does such confidence come from? Setsuna and Niewe are indeed the same as he is and similar enough to understand each other in a moment's encounter. But is that why you can say things with so much confidence?

"Until then, when a unified imperial order is stable and the successor to the throne can grow. Of course, that doesn't have to be your child. I don't mind leaving it to the other, brilliant royalty. If the country is one and stable, you don't mind if it doesn't even have anything to worry about. Nothing, I'm not tying your life to the Empire."

"Then!

Setuna, riding out the table, approached Niewe. He smiles with a cool look. He is afflicted with alienation and albinism, a face that is no longer too unusual for a human being, and he is laughing.

"Aren't you just supposed to pick another heir to the throne!?

"You don't understand anything? Then you can't do it. If it wasn't for me, if it wasn't for Niewehein, the West Empire wouldn't get wrapped up. Everyone is following me because of the rightful heir to the throne. It's setting up this Western Zaion Empire for me. Until we bring the empire together and restore the order of the iron again, I must be the emperor."

Neewe laid her hand on Setuna's right shoulder as she embarked on the tabletop.

"So I guess I'll ask you"

To be pushed by his words, Setuna, backed off. With his hips down on the chair, his eyes keep staring at Niewe.

"By taking this suggestion, it's not like you don't have any advantages. If you become Emperor, you can use the Empire's financial, human and military capabilities, whatever you want. You said you were fighting Nair Gandia, but it's not a bad decision to have an empire to fight an organization that boasts that overwhelming military power, is it? Once the Empire was an armed summoner power with 20,000 armed summoners in its possession. Now, I don't know how many of them survive, but at least two thousand less armed summoners belong to our Western Empire. All 2,000 of them will follow your instructions."

Niewe stares at me with clear eyes. Setuna and mirrored red eyes.

"I wonder if it will be easier for you to fulfill your purpose."

"... sure"

There, Setuna didn't deny it either. He said there are more than 2,000 armed summoners in the Western Empire alone. If you swallow the Eastern Empire, it will double or so, and if the reunification of the Empire includes the Northern Continent, it will swell even more. If you're free to treat an armed summoner of about 8,000 to 10,000, you can't even imagine it.

We know that fighting and beating Nair Gandhia is not enough at all for our current power. Setuna and the others' immediate policy was the enrichment of the forces of war, and one of the measures to do so was cooperation with the Western Empire. I was wondering if I could use some power after the war by giving it to the Western Empire.

Niewe's statements, as if he were discerning the prospects of those Setunas, are, however, prophecies, predictions or whatever. It's just a guess derived from the information Setuna has brought.

"We crave power. It also has unlimited power. Otherwise, we won't be able to fathom Nair Gandia."

"... so much force?

"Oh. You can say it's more than the full height of the empire"

"Hmm... then again, wouldn't it make sense for you to say no?

He smiled cool, but Setuna shook her head.

"That's not what this is about."

"Why? You crave war power. I'm asking for my place. I suppose the interests are in agreement, though?

"Superficially."

Setuna told, looking at Niewe's red eyes.

"But deep down, then, you won't."

"Why?"

"Can you give up your beloved Nina?

Setuna's question must have been a painful place for Niewe. He lost only marginal room so far. It was a shade.

"... we won't be talking about it right now"

"No, it matters. You must have loved Nina and lived for her. And I promised to make her happy. I bet you are."

"So, what is it?"

"It's up to you to make good on your promises, Neewe. Not me."

Setsuna was convinced that Niewe had begun to expose her emotions. He still loves Nina and hasn't been given up.

"I am, it's me. No matter where you go. Sure, maybe I can play you. But that's the Niewe I played, not the real Niewe. You don't really think that one's gonna make you happy."

"Each form of happiness is one. Nothing, it's not always the happiness of that one to stay with me."

"Are you serious?

"I mean it."

To Setsuna's question, Niewe lowered her gaze and clasped her mouth. Seeing that reaction, Setuna, rushed forward. As for Setuna, I'm not going to take his offer or anything from the end. Naturally. I can understand Neewe's situation and mood. but that's why it's outside, such as taking his offer and continuing to play Niewe. Whatever the short term, it was not something that could be done in the end, such as unifying the empire and continuing to play Emperor Niewehein until order stabilized.

It seems very unlikely that Nair Gandia would give us such time.

"Don't lie to me, Emperor Niewehein. Your love for that one must be real. Family, two sisters and brothers, it's something beyond those hedges. It should have been intrinsic and had no changeover. rooted."

Behind Setuna's brain, memories from Niewe's childhood came to mind and disappeared. During the showdown, the glimpse of him was filled with pure love for Nina.

"I'm going to be Niewe, which means I'm going to make Nina my own queen."

"... oh. Exactly. What's wrong with that?"

"Don't be strong."

Setsuna didn't miss the slight shaking of Niewe's eyes she'd stared back at.

"If I were the other way around, I'd never like it. I don't give a darling to anyone."

"That would mean the difference between you and me."

He has been so proud of his face that he cannot forbid to lose his laughter in his emptiness.

"Ha, stop judging conveniently just like that"

"Fact."

"Lie to me. Where have you been chasing all your sister's ass since you were a kid?" "It doesn't matter now, does it?

"Where is it?"

Setsuna couldn't watch, because Niewe's strength was painful.

"To you, Nina was one of those things? No. For you, I bet you were one of those people who didn't want to lose everything. It must have been an object of protection, wrapping, mercy, love."

"... then what?"

"You can't leave that to me. I'm taking responsibility for it."

Setsuna hit Niewe with her head.
