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

"It's tough being a dude."

"... I thought Faria would be a little more sympathetic."

"Oh. I feel sorry for you. It's about you."

"About me..."

"Yeah. The most important thing in the world,"

So she smiled. He smiled as soft as usual, enveloping everything. That's all, Setuna feels kind of saved.

And that's extremely simple, obvious.

The ninth person on the schedule is Falia.

She was in front of Setuna in her everyday clothes, with an uncluttered attitude.

The location is on the rooftop of the building where the accommodation is located. Nothing in particular seemed to make us forget that the calm and warmth of the wind blowing through was winter under the sunset dyed sky. The quiet as the festivities during the day are lying surrounds the residential area, but it's also natural.

Time to refrain from the showdown tomorrow and make noise like an idiot is long gone. If we make a scene forever, we'll get in the way tomorrow. Just as Ruufa was drunk because it was daytime, so everyone was careful not to carry over the fatigue tomorrow.

Everybody.

Naturally, that includes Rem.

Her schedule was not one that used the day at a glance. In that regard, I don't think it's a good idea.

"Nevertheless, I like to try something different with Rem."

"Oh, my God, my troubled servant."

It's only natural for the parties to feel that way.

Faria saw this one as she deposited her torso on the iron fence surrounding the rooftop. Her side, illuminated by the red of the sunset, is so beautiful and annoying.

"I wonder who's making me like it."

"You want to blame me too?

"No?

"... no, well, yeah."

There's no excuse if you put forward an honest argument that doesn't make any noise.

Setuna realized that she was looking bad in the butt. The only reason Rem likes it is because the main setuna admits it. If you don't want to, you can say no, and if you don't, she'll follow suit. It's not just a subordination. It's never hard to control a lem.

Setuna, however, did not want to imitate her to limit her words and actions for her own convenience alone.

"But you have no choice."

"Yeah. Right. You don't have a choice. You're sweet."

"Yeah......?

"Because I'm sweet, I accept everything, I swallow everything, I carry it. You don't have to do that."

"I..."

"I know. I know you can't help it."

Faria.

"But yeah. Still, I'm worried about you. I thought you were going to carry everything and get crushed."

"That's not..."

"Can you tell me there isn't? You are a human being. He's just like us. I'm not a god, I'm not a devil, I'm just a human being"

When they say that, there is no objection.

"Indeed, you are the protector of the Demon King's Staff. He's a black spear, stronger than anyone. Even God is enough to kick ass. So much so that even the power of the kings of the gods is offset. But it's the power of the subpoena, not yours. Yeah, even if I admit it's your power, that doesn't guarantee you won't be crushed."

Faria's upright gaze was painfully powerful. I don't see through Setuna's chest, I don't push opinions, I just stare purely. I can't help but wonder if anyone would be hostile if I were to behave like that.

"Instead, it seems to me that you are... too responsible, and that one day you are more likely to be crushed by the weight you carry too much"

"... you're worried, Faria"

"Worrying? No, it's a realistic thought."

Faria told me with a sigh.

"We've always counted on you. From the beginning, all the way to today. Without you, we wouldn't have been here right now. So much so that I can assure you, I've relied on you alone, to live. If I thought about it now, I would have relied too much on it. It was too sweet for your sense of responsibility. [M] So here's the situation."

"That won't happen"

"Yeah. That's right. That's what made me carry you too far."

While Faria smiled bitterly, it seemed certain that she had deep regrets. When I touch her for real like that, Setsuna feels kind of lame. Isn't that what makes you think that? Isn't it because I'm impudent?

I guess that never happens.

"So it's embarrassing to say this again."

"Yeah?"

In response to Setuna's doubts, Faria took her body off the iron fence and stood upright.

"Rely more on us. Don't carry anything on your own. Let us bear it, too. If you're alone, you'll be crushed. But if you're two, if you're three, if you're all... I'm sure."

"Faria......"

"True, no way, right? Anything at all. But I can't say it yet."

Faria says to tell herself.

Every one of those words stains Setuna's ear and penetrates her heart.

"Tomorrow, the last battle begins. If I don't tell you now, I tell you now..."

"Thanks"

"Huh?"

"I'm glad to meet one of you."

"... what's wrong, suddenly"

"It's how I really feel."

Setuna stared at her directly in the front as she let her body off the iron fence like she did. Faria's face is red because of the sunset, but the illuminated look must be because of Setuna's statement. That's why I can't stop you.

"I can stay here now because I met Faria. Faria brought my life to this world. So here I am."

"That would... happen"

And, she says. As usual.

By chance, I was there, so I could save Setuna's life. That's all. But who besides Faria could have saved Setuna then?

Summoning weapons with healing abilities are rare. When you become a summoning weapon that can instantly recover from a dying serious injury, is that all you have to count for?

Most importantly, Aurora Storm's ability is not necessarily curative.

"By chance, I felt destined."

"Destiny......"

"I wanted you to like me like that."

"Huh...?

"Maybe, I'm sure, it was love at first sight"

"What... what..."

"I've always liked it"

"Setuna......?

"So, jerk off"

Setuna, staring into Faria's eyes, smiled.

"I swear I won't imitate you like that."

"Setuna......"

Faria finally got a soothing look.

Then we stared at each other for a while and hugged each other.

And when I got back to the beginning, Faria came along with a bitter laugh.

"There's something about Setsuna that you're wearing too much."

"That's what I mean...?

"That's right. You're wearing too much clothes, and you're carrying it."

"Ugh..."

"But that's what I like."

Such a word of hers stabs me in the chest.

"That's why I'm not going to let you carry me in from now on,"

So Faria laughs.

That's all I was happy about Setsuna.
