A changed girl, in her own arms.

No, to say girl, I grew up completely, I was a grandmother and a crybaby. A childhood friend.

Whimpering in a spitefully trembling voice as his head turns bright white.

"Extra Heels"

("Extra Heels")

It looked right up, it got pretty.

"Cure."

("Cure")

Clothes stains are gone, too.

But... I won't wake up.

That's crazy.

Didn't my [saint's] magic encompass all the magic?

I had a double chant. Isn't it something where all the fatigue blows up, the incurable heals completely... from sleep, wakes up...?

Hey, man.

What are you talking about?

"Extra Heels"

("Extra Heels")

"--Russell!"

All of a sudden, a loud noise called Pan echoes from his ear.

... No, it's not.

Did I get slapped?

"There's no point in second recovery magic, take care! You will have an athlete!

"... Civila..."

"It's okay, calm down. I'll summon all the knowledge this Sibila has and try to do whatever I can with any hand I can! In this place...... in this place, I won't stop this child from ending! Something to end it!

Unlike me, who is feeling a little bit of a reality escape, Sibila screamed with her firm eyes. That's not the kind of eye I don't know where to go, the one with the strong will to absolutely help.

Civila's, knowledge.

I don't know anything about that. For me now, it was definitely more than anything I could count on.

—— Oh, is this your partner?

How comforting.

"I'm sorry, Sibila. It was frightening."

"I don't have a choice, you've been with me forever. So, now this kid is in a very dangerous state. I don't have the vitality... and"

"And what?

Concentrate on listening to Sibila's remarks word for word.

"... I don't know, it's like... I don't feel like living..."

"I don't feel like living...!?

I don't get up. I look at Emmy's face.

The old girl who doesn't raise her voice is really like a princess......

... Oh, shit, I can't believe I remember this time...

"Besides, the protection of life force as a holy knight is so cloudy... eh... why is this, not holy, darkness... on its own, to darkness...? What, deep, deep despair... how can it break my heart so unharmed...?

"Did Emmy see that horrible!?

"Considering I'm here to help you on this occasion, I think it's more about you than it's about something... eighty-nine out of ten. But still, it can't be so black. Someone broke you? No, they noticed...?

Sibilla put her hand on her chin to think a little, but she immediately shook her head and stretched her own cheeks all she wanted.

"Anyway, Emmy won't get up if you stay like this. I don't even feel like waking up to him. Then…"

Civila touches Emmy's eyelids and checks her eyes.

When I let go of my hand, I declared with my arms together.

"Whether you hate it or not, you're gonna have to wake me up."

What the hell is that... yeah, before I ask the question, Sibila folds.

"It must have been my current skill, [Holy Knight's] skill. The shield glows, the most powerful move to blow things in front of you"

"... oh"

I remember that light.

Definitely the one Emmy unconsciously used against me the day she kicked me out of the party.

"That skill wasn't activated properly"

"... Really?

"Yeah. The bigger these opponents attack, the stronger they are to blow up all the enemy attacks and stuff and seriously the shield light from mountain to mountain, including suicide bombing magic"

Was it that skill that Emmy used?

I felt sorry for myself when Emmy stunned me with one blow, but now I don't think he killed me often......

It could be a saved form, in a way, to Civila, who told me that fact.

"But skills have activation conditions."

"Activation conditions?

"That's right. First of all, there must be a subject attacking you in front of you. You know this."

I nod and prompt the next.

But Sibila doesn't quite say the next. He looked difficult and leaned down.

"Hey, come on, you don't have time for this!?

"... right"

Irritated by Sibila, who is reluctant to say why, he absurds his voice a little.

Sibilla finally looked up.

"What Atashi says about this is really no good. But now it's an emergency. Russell, be prepared."

Things change with Sibila, shooting through my eyes at close range.

Snorted in a raw spit at the unusual appearance of the interrogation... let go of her face and Sibila sighed.

"Favor,"

"... what?

Did I hear it wrong?

"No, it's not a mistake. Activated by Favor... Thinking about your favorite opponent, the power of love ~ something like that, it's a trick for a chatty hero, Tan, to empower. That's what Emmy used.... That's why I didn't want to say it."

... Emmy used it?

Thinking about the person you like, what moves can you use?

I remember the other day, the receptionist was talking about 'Emmy was after me with his eyes'.

About the skills I just used. And... what you used against me.

I did think that day that Emmy's face, which I saw at close range a long time ago, had changed a lot...

... Oh well.

What are you scared of?

I saw Emmy's face at close range, so even Emmy saw my face at close range.

The result was... that skill.

And that was the skill that protected me now.

"Russell."

"Oh."

"You know now. How this kid used his current skills and how he broke up with the party"

"Oh."

"Without a doubt, I haven't broken up with the original brave party in full circles. I think I came on my own. For you... only to give your life to you!

"... oh"

"So on this occasion, Atashi will forgive you one thing."

When Sibilla says that, she arms up again and leaves me, looking straight at me.

"I will only allow you to change the ranking now that you are betta in love with this Atashi, the mightiest and cutest Sibila, and that Sibila is the best"

"Don't worry, it's not the best from the start"

"On top of that --"

Sibila didn't react to my scratch either.

... This is a really serious Sibila.

The most serious thing I've ever done, more than when I changed my profession (Job).

"--you have to be the Virgin"

"The Virgin? Aren't you a saint?

"Close but not. You're referring to the Legend of the Virgin, A Love Chapter."

"All the way, love..."

"Yes, the Virgin of Adore."

Legend of the Virgin, a chapter of love all the way.

The name, too, is the beloved Virgin.

It is the story of the Virgin, the most famous and popular of several Virgin legends, the longing of all adventurers.

The Brave Party, headed for the Demon King Crusade, wages a deadly battle against the strongest Demon King.

The companions were hurt, rendered irreversible, and both the brave and the Virgin were forced to fight a critical battle.

At last, at each other's limits, the brave man, who understood that the Demon King had set his aim for the Virgin, stabs the Virgin differently than the Demon King.

The Virgin mourns, grieves, and prays.

I don't care what happens to me. But I want only those who love me to come back to life.

To the Virgin who prayed so, a miracle descends.

The magic of miracles that the Virgin gave brought back the brave from the world of death.

It was the moment when the two loves beat the Demon King --.

"--There's nothing like that! There's no miracle!

Sibila cut off the world's most famous story.

"I've always been unsure of the truth, so maybe there are legends like that, I thought about it...... but no!

The arm I was putting together separated and my finger could be attached to me.

"Russell seeded The Goddess's Prayer Chapter! In other words, the legend of the Virgin is all but the ability of the vocation (Job) of [Virgin]!

That's all they said, and I finally figured out what Sibila was trying to say.

If the legend of the Virgin is not a miracle. Just like the Prayer Chapter of the Goddess, if it works for me too......!

"Yes! As Emmy used her Sun protection skills, so did you... not [Lord Darkness Demon], but you who kept being" The [Saint] of the Black Ones, "I can use it!

And Sibila proclaims his name.

"Adorable Virgin, the last magic is —— the Lisa Collection! Russell, if you take care of Emmy... if Emmy has really leaned against the heartbreaks she's been trampled on and brushed to death, she's bound to be able to use it!

Sibila's words cross my mind.

... right?

I mean, it was really all about me.

I thought you'd be hurt somewhat.

But it wasn't like that.

Emmy had tasted so much despair that he would throw everything into the dark world, just as he had once [Lord Midnight Darkness], who burned in revenge.

I had a Civila.

To Emmy...... Janet alone, couldn't you count on it? I don't think so. Or Vince or maybe someone else... into a dream I don't remember... no, let's not think about it now.

Now, it's Emmy.

See the familiar face in your arms.

... Did you look at me at close range and unconsciously activate my skills?

I mean, that... that sort of thing, what is it?

Oh, it's even more so now... really, it's so much more so now that I can sneer myself...

Maybe I was... I'm sure... with Emmy...

"Oh, my God, can you be..."

The truth is, I didn't want you to be a princess.

When I become a princess, I go far.

I'm not a prince, so I can't be next to Emmy.

—— The reason for that.

... Right...

Me too... a long time ago...

"The Lisa Collection"

("Lisa Collection")

Nature, the words came out.

Sometimes Civila taught me, but a magical name appeared out of my mouth, as if I didn't have to know it to think the word had come out naturally.

If so, did the goddess... come to me with this magic?

Are you going to apologize? I don't hate you that much anymore.

Oh... Sibila, maybe there's still a miracle.

"Mm... mmm..."

From within my own arms, a small voice.

Nostalgic voice.

I'll keep my face close to Emmy.

Emmy opens her eyes a little bit.

"I overslept, I'm here to wake you up"

When I speak, Emmy opens her eyes and reflexes away from me.

I was going to hug him with a pretty strong force, but his arms swung off so much at once that the momentum came off his shoulders.... I knew the Sacred Knight was highly physically capable of being ruined.

"Morning."

"... ah, ah..."

"You forgot your morning greeting, too? Oh, no, it wasn't morning anymore."

Where I slapped him lightly, Emmy checks his body to see if the situation is slowly swallowing.

"I'm cured. I can fix clothes and armor with my healing magic."

……

From earlier on, don't speak up so you don't know what to say to me.

"... doesn't Emmy even want to talk to me anymore?

"That's not true!

Now he denied what I said, screaming in total no-time.

"Ah..."

"Well, I'm relieved to hear that"

Emmy approaches me in such a way as to be afraid.

Beautiful face... but I don't think I've had an adult shadow somewhere out of age while I haven't seen him in just a few moments.

... have you been pushed so far that you have changed?

"Ra, let, ru..."

"Do I look anything other than Russell? Well, I'm often told that my impression has changed... but I don't have one myself right now."

"Oh, Russell, it's Russell..."

Emmy, who finally got to me, touches my body. Even so, you were wearing armor under your robe.

"Hey me, terrible thing...... keep Russell, low level, push him in the back...... even then, I wasn't going to fight back, but I used my skills, with an attack that I could seriously kill, Russell--"

"I don't care"

"-- eh"

Where Emmy is likely to fall into self-loathing, blocking monologues.

"I don't care, I said. I don't like you, but I should have been forced to take a level on my own and work properly. And draw your feelings... you should have noticed. Everything, I was wrong. I think I'm worse than you think."

Emmy listens to my monologue with a grumpy face somewhere.

"Right now, I'm working with a sorcerer's adventurer senior. That's when I realized that it's not a good party to rely on without helping each other... because I'm not your partner."

When I hear about it, for a moment, I turn to Civila and turn my gaze back towards me.

Before I think about anything extra, I'll make sure Emmy is aware of it.

I wrapped both of Emmy's cheeks with my own hands.

"Emmy."

"Hih......!?

Like one day, I speak to Emmy, who turned bright red.

... No, I'm oddly hot too. It shouldn't have been hot today......

"Still, he and I are magicians, and when things like today happen, it's an imperfect party in crisis right away. So why don't you join my party, too?

Blink slowly, as you understand what they mean, and Emmy squeezes out her voice.

"... yes, okay...? Me, again, can I work with Russell, please?

"I want you to put it together. Maybe if you're a partner, Emmy and I would be better suited. We know each other, and now I can use healing magic, attack magic, swords. But defense is the only thing I don't care about. I was honestly in danger just now, and it really helped. Yes... your ability to cover it should be the best in the world"

I made it clear that Emmy wasn't here yet.

"... hey Emmy"

I'll give you my right hand, one step away.

"Do you want to start over again?"

"... are you familiar with childhood?

"Oh."

Childhood friendly.

That's where it all started for me and Emmy.

I've been involved in a lot of things since then, taking on a mission... and I feel like I've come a long way in a short time.

But in retrospect, I can understand that it was the most honorable time back then when I was innocently playing, because now is the time.

The answer was always in me.

More than a party.

Better than my partner.

"Something, we... the star of the Church's expectations. It's a brave party to save the world... you're tired of that, aren't you? So familiar with childhood"

Emmy, look at my right hand blurry...

... and took my hand, blurting out of my eyes and tears.

"Wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah... I'm so familiar with you now... I want to, not... eh!

Similar to those days, a crying face that hasn't been able to take care of the princess's self.

Tears, runny nose, a face that can't be shown to anyone who leaves it running.

A creepy, wrinkly face.

But to me... that's the prettiest Emmy's ever looked.
