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

Lesson Two Thousand Six Hundred Forty-Nine: Soul, Until It Burns Out (2)

It was only the other day that I learned that my next destination was Zalwarn Island.

Starting in Faria, none of the ship's crew had imagined where this ship would go next, let alone back to Zalwarn Island. Regardless, I understand that Setuna is still pledging allegiance to Gandia. Since we have finished our role in the Empire, it may well be logical to return to Zalwarn Island, home of the provisional government.

When the Phalia and the others joined Setuna, Setuna was aiming for the mainland of the Empire because they had a contract with the Western Zaion Empire. It is also a tribute to the archdeacon Nina Alg-Zaion, Admiral of the Navy Rigford Zell-Vandalize, who lent the ships to the Setunas. The contract was terminated by the end of the East-West conflict in the Southern continent. And should it be said that at the end of his unexpected participation in the Goddess War and his death struggle, he was able to defeat the Great Goddess Naria?

Either way, a line that ended up working more than a contract in the Empire was to consider the next destination of the journey, but it was Setsna who established that it was Zalwarn Island.

And that's when Setuna finally told me what she was hiding from the Phalia's, but that was amazing.

Naria was not destroyed by Setuna, but was taken in by a third-party god who suddenly appeared on the brink of doom. As for the question of whether God could take in God, etc., although it was resolved by what God Mayura admitted, it was an incredible story that he had done so, as well as raising the question as to why Setuna remained silent until now.

"You don't want to water where it boils down to victory,"

Because it's true that Naria disappeared, but he did.

Setsuna's words were not sufficiently convincing. In fact, if at that time a statement was made by Setsuna that Naria was taken in by another God on the arrow tip where he thought all the settlements had been made, etc., no one could have been immersed in the aftermath of victory, and the Empire might have remained anxious. Sometimes about Naria, and even though not everything was settled neatly, that battle should have ended that way.

And what God who appeared at that time told Setsuna was about the situation in Zalwarn, who, immediately after awakening from a long sleep, seemed to want to fly to Zalwarn Island, but because of Niewehein's persuasion, seemed to decide to give priority first to physical and spiritual recovery.

Hearing that story, the first thing the Phalia and the others thought about was their gratitude to Niewehein. If Niewehein hadn't persuaded Setuna, he would have popped up without waiting to recover and, as a result, put a lot of strain on his body and mind. I can't imagine what that would entail. Sometimes they will fall for the better, but they are more likely to tie in to bad results, the Phalia and the others see.

"Setsuna is just really impotent... sometimes I want you to reflect"

Miliu's sigh echoes loudly. It seemed to convey how much she loved and worried about Setuna, and Faria had to be in tune.

The upper level of the Ulknakt is the Baths. There were four of them, Faria, Miliu, Elina and Sheila, in a very large space when it came to the onboard baths. The tub is huge, and there's no problem with all the women coming in together, and you probably can afford to add men there. Of course, no one plans a mixed bath with the men.

Sheila nods as she leads to the edge of the tub.

"Not at all. Don't even think about it."

"Your brother is working hard..."

"Well, I know. Nobody's trying. I'm not even thinking about it. Rather."

"I'm trying too hard, Setsuna"

I don't even know what Elina wants, but that's why I didn't want to affirm and accept everything. I know. I understand. The enemy is the genus Divine. It is so clear that Setuna is someone who has powers that cannot be compared to humans, and that Setuna is the one to whom all her powers must be infused. Even the spirits that Pharia and the others fought for their lives were not far from the main body. It was Setuna who crossed with that body alone and kept fighting. Without Setuna, the front would have collapsed easily and the Unified Imperial Army would have seen the fear of devastation.

I know that.

But even if reason knows, there is also a desire not to be convinced by the mood.

For Faria, Setuna is one of the two most beloved people in the world. I didn't want to lose it more than anyone, and I think it would be more to die if I lost him enough. The thought is that everyone here has it. Even Miliu does, and Sheila does, and Elina does. Everyone loves and needs Setuna. That's why I want Setsuna to rest when she can, and I don't want her to be forced.

"I know. So much so that there are things you can't do without Setuna. But still, even I can do something. There's something we can do, isn't there?

Faria stared at that upbeat face, stuffed inadvertently by Miliu. The slight seepage of sweat would be due to the temperature of the hot water filled in the tub. It's never too hot, but it's not too warm. Just the right temperature, should I say? In its clear warm water, Miliu naturally looked unwrapped, approaching Faria without any hesitation.

"Yeah. Even the battle ahead, I think it played a role well enough"

"Oh. Definitely."

"Yeah!"

"Right...... yeah, right. From now on, all we have to do is support you. I'm not alone. Me and Setuna. I'm not alone."

"Yeah, right. I'm not alone."

Faria affirmed her feelings as she stroked Miliu's head, which was sweetening with her head on her shoulder.

"Everybody's here."

It was Setuna herself. You know that. That's why in the goddess war he believed in everyone and sent them out. It was an operation because I believed in individual strength and in victory. Of course, there would have been trust that the Mayuri God would have helped us if we were in crisis, but the fact that we believed and relied on the Phalia's is stronger and greater than that.

That's why.

That's why I want Setuna to believe in herself and make great use of it in the future.

It would be natural to come to that idea if you remembered Setuna, who had finished the battle and slept for ten days. But their thoughts did not come to fruition so easily.

'Can you hear me, gentlemen? It's an emergency. "

All of a sudden, it was the voice of the Mayura God that reached through the communications device that resonated within the bathroom. When the Phalia and the others turned to the word "emergency" issued by the Mayura God, the Mayura God has further told them something surprising.

"This way, we captured an enemy fleet on the road. Over Zalwarn Island."

"What the hell!?

As the bathroom becomes noisy, the voice through the communicator continues faintly.

"Come to the engine room just for Setsuna. I want to confirm the policy."

"We're coming too!?

"Yes."

Faria stood up, looking out for Miliu to jump out of the hot tub immediately.

What the male god who took in Naria told Setsuna was that the situation on Zalwarn Island was unusual. It was never unlikely that an emergency was coming to Zalwarn Island. That's why Setuna woke up and tried to make her way to Zalwarn Island immediately.

Should we have gone first to Zalwarn Island then, not in response to Niewehein's persuasion?

(No......)

I'm sure not.

Setsuna has been asleep for ten days. If, after awakening, we had gone straight to Zalwarn Island, there would have been no change in the situation.

Faria didn't like herself trying to get the peace of mind out of thinking so.

In the end, Setsuna's safety is a priority above all else.
