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

Episode Two Five Hundred Twenty-six: The Thing of Myself

The tactics were decided, as was the formation of the troops.

All we had to do was gather our total strength and wait for them to be ready to launch.

The scheduled date for the total force build-up is September 30. Not much in a few days.

Until then, Setuna and the others were to be given free time. It was up to the individual how he used that time, and he was free to spend it on workouts and to use it to rest his body. Everyone was even exhausted by day and night workouts, and one of the surroundings of Setuna seemed to devote a lot of time to rest.

Setsuna, too, yes.

I tried to rest my body in order to restore the fatigue accumulated by the workouts here.

What awaits is a showdown with God. I also know for a fact that Setuna is a god with more powerful powers than he has ever fought before in the battle ahead. Once, I lost. Destroyed. It can be called a complete defeat. Setuna alone would have survived only because Naria did. Other than that, there's no reason. There was no wonder that Phalia and the others were killed in the light. There was so much light that Setsuna could not even react. I didn't die. They didn't kill me.

Every time I remember that time, I can see a black flame burning up deep in my heart. At some point he was holding his fist tight and his nails not only ate into the palm of his hand, but he was also breaking through his skin. Anger. There's so much anger that you can't control it, it's like a burning flame, it's wild. It is hatred itself for Naria, who killed all the Phalia, and anger itself. Regardless, it is also a despair for itself that failed to protect the Phalia and the others.

I couldn't forget the emotions, the mental state at that time because the time came back and nobody was going to lose them, and I never thought I could undo my failures.

Failure is a lapse.

I couldn't protect the Phalia and the others.

Who could not protect one of the men whom I promised to protect?

That fact continues to ignite the depths of Setuna's mind. The fire is black and faint. It was like the swirling darkness itself, and therefore he had to assume that he was a sincerely evil person. Because I am such a self, I wonder if the black spear has responded to the summons.

The township of Divnor, which stretches beneath the sunny sky, is surrounded by extremely noisy air. Divnor is the largest city in the northwest of the southern continent. Countless buildings should be built on vast grounds and the general public, who usually have no reason to know how to fight, should be walking around, but now they were all evacuated to the south. Walking around the city were all the generals of the Unified Imperial Army, and the big city itself called Divnor had been transformed into a military base. Around the city, the generals were scattered at dawn on their workouts, and the armed summoners were seen talking about something.

Everyone is in tension for the showdown. Everyone is shaken by the fact that they are facing a crisis of survival. I want to believe in victory. However, I also understand the reality that it is extremely hopeless. Such an air envelops the whole Divnor.

Setuna was watching, trying to keep herself at the iron fence on the rooftop of the lodge for such a view of the city.

"I was in this place"

To a voice inadvertently thrown from the rear, Setuna, trying to jump up unintentionally, suppressed. Whatever it takes, it's just a big deal. It's the Lord of the Voice who plays it on me. Faria.

When he was on the spot for nothing, the sound of his shoes approached him and the person showed him, depositing his upper body in the iron fence next to his right, just like Setuna. And I'm only going to point my face at this one. The blue-haired brunette rocked. Long hair stretched to the waist is beautiful to the tip of the hair. It's not just the hair that's beautiful. The sleigh was also beautiful enough to always want to be seen. Eyes like green cylinder balls. I can see it.

Guys, I've been looking for you.

"Everybody? Why?"

"Why, well, I'm worried about you."

"Worried? About me?

"Yeah."

Faria has naturally nodded, but to Setuna, it was an incomprehensible word. Was there anything to worry about? When I thought of it that way, I reacted with a low voice that I couldn't even think of.

"Worried...... hey"

"Guys, I'm paying attention to your every step of the way. Including me. Even when you're in a bad mood, you'll know in a flash."

"I'm in a good mood... not bad"

"Even if it's a story."

"I know."

"I don't understand."

"What the..."

Setuna turned away unexpectedly, immediately denied by Faria. Drop your gaze below the iron fence and turn your attention to the vast townships characteristic of the city of the Empire. I find myself somewhat irritating because I can't be honest with Faria and you. I kind of know what a good tobacco Faria is. Her feelings, everyone's thoughts. As far as favors are concerned, they are not dull. I also know that everyone cares so much about Setsuna and that they care about Setsuna. I understand. And I also know that I want to respond to that thought, that I have to respond.

However, there is a reality that it could not be done.

I have facts.

That's what's tormenting his heart right now.

"... Hey Setuna. Turn around."

"Hmm?"

It was the moment I turned my attention to Faria as she was told. He was hugged without watermark, and he lost everything. Faria's long hair rests on her face, and the smell of fragrant flowers tickles her nostrils. The smell was gentle. No, it's not just the smell. Her arms, her hands, her body, everything, she's kind. You're too kind, you're about to cry. Then, Faria seemed to glow.

"Finally, we're caught."

"... what is it?"

Setsuna got carried away unexpectedly. If it's hard to light, I wish I didn't. I don't, and I don't think so.

"Heh heh... 'Cause if you don't, you don't have to do it"

"You're not going anywhere."

If Setuna pointed her mouth tip, Faria would return it as well.

"Something Nowhere"

"Huh?"

"Ever since then, yes."

"At that time...?

"I haven't had you since Naria lost."

"Don't you have me?

"I've always felt like I wasn't here."

That said, for the first time, I was somewhat convinced by her words. Sure, she might be right. Since Naria lost, Setuna was distracted only by her anger, hatred, and vengeance for Naria. I guess that's kind of inexorable, but if it had appeared on the end of the word and deed, I also think it might have caused a lot of concern to the Phalia and the others.

"... I guess so"

"But right now, I'm here. in my arms."

"Yeah."

Affirmation. I have myself not even trying to escape from Faria's arms. The feeling of happiness of being embraced by her wanted to replace everything.

"I'm here."

"That's right. You are here. I'm here, too. Everybody's here."

Faria's voice is always kind. It seems to be staining my heart.

"So you don't have to worry. Don't worry about one thing. You just have to do everything you can. Whatever happens as a result, we accept. I wouldn't resent you, even if you lost your life. [M] All alone."

"... that's what you wanted?

So I don't know, but I didn't think Setuna was listening back. It must have been then that Faria is coming. At that time, if there was no way to turn the clock back, even if Setuna destroyed Naria and the time went by, Faria and everyone did not resent Setuna. So the fact that we were killed, don't get sick.

"Yeah. No, I'm not."

"Then..."

"I just wanted to do this"

"Yeah?"

"Because what I like about you"

She was, this time, serious. Straighten up, I'll tell you what I think. It's usually just extremely calm, and when you put your emotions on the table this way, there's no more confrontation. I'm not talking about winning or losing.

"Faria......"

"In front of everyone, it's just..."

She let Setuna's body go just a little bit when she leaked a smile.

"Out of the way, you're shy, me"

I know that even if they don't say so.

That is why he shut his mouth and obeyed her will.

That's all that calms my mind.

Apparently, I am, more simply than I thought.

Setsuna didn't hate herself like that either, frightened by the ease of her mental structure. Because that's what I thought was human.

It's not a monster that butchers God and destroys the world, it's just a human being.

At least, it will be in front of the Phalia's.

He made a firm vow to his heart.
