Lady Farga called me. I headed with Nair to the hall where the throne is.
It's usually the hall where Master Norn is supposed to be, but no one was there all this time.
Moving to the center of the hall, wondering how to get to the basement where Master Farga was, the scaffolding sank to the floor alone and headed underground.
Perhaps Master Farga moved it remotely, but I'm pretty sure he sees that this has finally only called me.
"Is it something that people don't want to hear? No, but is that true only for Master Farga?"
"I don't know. Yikes. Even when it comes to the Divine Dragon, it is a demon of the Evil Dragon and his kind. I don't know what I'm thinking inside. The demons you're eating are cunning, mean, smart, and annoying."
"You're convincing, aren't you..."
Boomerang is stabbed with great momentum...
If you look at it from Nair, Falga is old enough, but if you look at it from human me, Nair, who is 300 years old, will live long enough...
I don't dare speak for myself.
Arriving underground in conversation with no other love, we find Falga, who is revealing himself from the fountain. When he realizes I've arrived, he slowly looks up and sees Nair on my shoulder.
"Are you here too?"
"Can't you come?"
"No, I don't mind."
To a grumpy Nair, Mr. Farga, who gave it back, shifted his gaze to me.
"I called Usat this time for a purpose"
"Purpose?"
Master Farga snorts at my words.
What happened yesterday today? Besides, I can't believe you bothered to speak directly to my head.
"The battle with Karon is close. You will come to the battle with my shards, and you will be forced to fight straight in front of him."
"Right..."
Whatever today's operation may be decided upon, it will be my role to hold Mr. Caron back.
But what's wrong with that?
"I fear that you and Karon may be different and that you may lose your life."
"... missed!?"
"There is no clear difference between you and Karon today in the battle at close range. It's a terrible story, but he who is losing his reason, but is awakening to the dragon, is trying to follow him only with his flesh and his caged hands."
I feel treated like a monster out of the blue.
But can I... As far as I'm concerned, I don't want to end up like that, but Master Farga says it's possible.
"I don't think it's possible that this viability specialty compound will die...?"
"Naa... we're talking about something important right now. Not if you're joking."
"I'm not kidding at all... That creepy look is so annoying!"
At all, I hope you don't water the important story.
I just have to convince myself to go through a vocal nair on my shoulder and turn back to Master Farga.
"So you didn't just call it in to give advice?"
"Oh. You just need to keep your earlier words in mind. You called me here to give me a peek into your memory."
"My memory?"
What good would that do?
Do you want to know the knowledge of the other world, like Nair?
Master Farga continues to spin words at me as I lean my neck.
"What you see is the memory of the brave man you know."
"Is that about Senior Dog and Kazuki... the brave men of the kingdom of Ringle?"
"That's right. Perhaps I will not meet in person the brave men of my kingdom of Ringle. Before you go to war, I want you to know what a brave man you know."
About Senior Dog and Kazuki.
Even I don't know everything about the two of us, but what will Master Farga do when he knows about the two of us?
Unlike Nair, this guy doesn't feel like he's trying to peek into my memory to satisfy his desire for knowledge.
In the first place, could this guy grasp Kazuki with his distant seniors?
"The reason for knowing what a brave man looks like is to determine whether he is worthy of making my armor."
"Isn't that something very serious? Is it okay with my memory?"
If Falga were to create a weapon for both of us, it would be called the true "weapon of the brave”.
"It doesn't make sense if it's not you. There are no more suitors than you who would be most trusted."
"... ok"
If they say that much, I'll have to snort.
But Kazuki with the seniors in my memory?
Kazuki, overall, is under the impression that he's my best friend, but my senior...
The way seniors are shaking off tension, the way seniors throw their jobs free, the way they leave it to their desires to run wild......
……
"... Dear Farga, I say in advance, one of the brave men is a very unusual man. But he's a good man! Now that you know it, look at my memory...!"
"Ugh, um?"
"If you said that with a bitter look on your face, I'd only have a bad feeling... Are Usato's brave men such freaks...?"
Lady Farga and Nair, who are slightly pulling.
Seniors are the ones whose weird parts stand out, but not the bad ones. Rather a very good man.
I have a previous record of spreading articles about me and my predecessors across the continent. But I didn't look at him so lightly that I didn't like him.
... I won't retaliate when I get home!
"… Now let me show you your memory"
"What am I doing?"
"You can just think of it. Not as a brave man, but as a friend to you."
That's what I said. A magical text floats in Lord Farga's eyes.
I guess that's for a peek into my memory because it's not the same shape as yesterday's.
I knew there was no danger, so I closed my eyes and thought of the two of us, as Lady Farga said.
... the first thing I remember... right.
Let's remember that rainy day, the day I first met the two of you, when I was a mediocre high school student.
●
Master Farga was looking at his memory for about half an hour.
As far as I'm concerned, I was in a daydreaming strange sensation, so I thought it had been a long time. Opening his eyes, Nair on his shoulder seemed free to stretch and Lady Farga was zeroing a deep exhale.
"You seem blessed to be on edge."
"Yeah, I don't think so."
"Needless to say, the brave men you know have the qualities they deserve to keep my shards"
Good.
Because seniors are not like the average brave men, they don't tell me they don't deserve to keep their weapons...
I'm relieved to hear that Kazuki and seniors can keep their weapons.
"All you have to do is create my nucleus and entrust it."
……
Do you want to create it?
I still remember Norn panicking when he turned the sword of the brave into mine.
To create a powerful weapon, use a piece of Falga-like flesh. Mine, by way of exception, as far as the performance of other weapons is concerned, isn't just detaching the flesh.
As far as the strength of Mr. Caron and the weapons of the previous braves is concerned, they may be severing the power itself.
If Norn was in such a hurry, he was afraid that Falga's actions would have a great impact on the flesh...
"... no"
Whatever I say, Master Farga cannot be stopped. [M]
This person is aware of that and is trying to keep the weapons with the two of them. This is the one who supported Norn in the shadows as he continued to maintain his bond by himself.
Though thoughts are unreadable, Master Farga can undoubtedly be called the ally of mankind.
Even my own body is detached and cooperating with us humans.
"Master Farga likes humans."
I know it's rude, but I said that.
Master Farga opens his eyes to my words. [M] After about ten seconds of silence, he opened his mouth heavily.
I have to tell you something.
"To?"
"about where the dragon factor that sleeps inside the caron came from,"
The source of Mr. Caron's dragon power...!?
I never thought that would come to light from Master Farga himself, not Norn or Leona.
"In conclusion, Karon is like my offspring"
"Huh!?"
Nair over the shoulder is stunned.
Seeing Nair's reaction, Master Farga smiles delightfully.
"In that regard, I am close to you. Mixed blood of man and dragon. The dragon's blood is infinitely thinner, but its potential is passed on without fading"
Sure, you have something close to a vampire and a necromancer half-near.
But I didn't think it was surprising.
I thought some blood was mixing with him more than having dragon factors.... I just didn't think it belonged to Master Farga.
"Why is your power in Karon's body?"
Lady Farga lowers her voice slightly to Nair's question, which seems surprising.
"The reason goes back to when the Demon King was defeated and sealed by his predecessors"
"Does the Demon King mean it was sealed hundreds of years ago?"
"Yes."
Are we going back that far?
Maybe this is a harder problem than I think.
"After the demon king was sealed, I had lost track of the value of being a man. Harmony and peace, for me, the dragon who presides over it, is not man the evil that disturbs it? Was it right that we had lent our strength to the existence of a man who repeatedly fought, betrayed his fellow countrymen, abused the Fae, and inflicted senseless destruction? I even questioned my actions, and I lost sight of the way I was."
"Are you…"
"Not so long ago, the battle between the former Demon King Army and man was spectacular."
Such a feud that Master Farga, the Divine Dragon, calls man into question... I don't want to imagine.
"So, what happened?"
"Having almost lost sight of even my own existence, I now once transformed into a human figure to determine human value, entering a single city. Not as the Falga of the Dragon, just as the Falga of one human being."
You mean you became human to know humans?
Rather than, could you be like Nair to a person? I was wondering if Nair's transformation was vampire-specific, but did Master Farga transform by witchcraft or something?
"The city, with its colorful battle scars against the Demon King, seemed terrible. Overflowing with injured people and unsatisfactory food. But still, the humans there lived their days without giving up in despair."
Without losing despair, the people who live.
For Master Farga, who was about to lose sight of himself, the sight might have been hard to exhaust to his brush tongue.
"One person spoke to me as I watched how those people were doing. That was the meeting with her."
"Her? Could that person be Mr. Caron's...?"
"Oh."
The tone of Master Farga, who said "she”, was gentle.
Do you remember a long time ago, Master Farga, who slightly distorted the edge of his mouth, goes on to spin the words.
"Through my encounter with her, I became more aware of the existence of human beings. It was fun for me to live for a long time. Because human life was a series of surprises."
……
I don't know how many years Master Farga has lived.
I don't know, but I felt like I weighed in on the word "human life" he spoke of. It was such a word, not in a bad way, but to make you feel the dignity of life.
"Having seen her, I forgot my duties as a dragon and sang a man's life. Having become a child, become a parent of man, and spent decades, I nursed her death and then… became the dragon who defended her homeland, Miarak"
"... you look just like me."
"Hmm?"
When I heard Master Farga's words, Nair over my shoulder muttered such a small thing.
On her shoulder she turned away puffy as soon as she deluded herself, but I could hear the words, similar.
... the words reminded me of the village where she was.
In that village, Nair continued to play the inhabitants of the village for over two hundred years. I haven't heard the reason for that in detail, but an earlier grunt made her mood perceptible.
Dear Falga, who has watched the place of man's life as a Divine Dragon.
We would have spent time together in a village inhabited by villagers, falsely looking like ourselves, Nair.
Sure, similar.
"... originally, Karon was stopped before he went wild"
"Huh!?"
I get upset by the unexpected words of Falga, who squealed to zero.
Does that mean Miarak didn't have to do this before he went wild?
"Whether the dragon's power is about to wake up or not, it doesn't turn into a human being. I could have stopped my breath by magic if I had woken up for a short while... but I couldn't do it"
"Dear Farga..."
"Karon is a trump card against the Demon King. If he takes my power, the weapon I created, entirely from my own, that power becomes immensely powerful. Besides, there are two brave men summoned from different worlds. If you work with them and stand up to them, you can defeat the Demon King."
Power that can defeat the Demon King.
If he inherits the power of Falga-like, the Divine Dragon, then that power is equal to that of Kazuki and his predecessors, the brave... no, it could be more than that.
In fact, he had more power than I had in the power of the flesh.
"But that's only pre-construction"
"Huh?"
Pre-built...?
"No matter how much reason you fix it, it doesn't change that you couldn't kill Karon. I couldn't make up my mind. Kill Karon, your own descendant."
"... it is!"
Isn't that something you can't help...!?
It's an impossible story to tell you to be determined in a situation where you have to kill an existence equal to your own son as well.
"I knew eventually this would happen to my blood family. If what the" guy "is trying to do is what I think it is, this event cannot be avoided.... even though I knew, I couldn't be ruthless. Because, no matter how many generations, Caron still has her face. Only then will my resolve be shaken again and again."
I can't say anything to Master Farga, who lay down his eyes and made them so repentant.
There is no way you can kill a human being who is the people of Miarak and who is your own descendant.
"The reason Karon's staying here would be to kill me."
"Oh, give me Master Farga!?"
"I am about to kill the roots of my power and be freed from my instincts. Then he could turn into a second evil dragon and destroy everything in sight."
"Second Evil Dragon!?"
I was wondering why Mr. Caron stayed here, but he stayed because Master Farga was here!?
In other words, if Master Farga is killed, Mr. Runaway Karon will be freed from Miarak...! If Mr. Karon in such a state is rumbled around, he's not on the level to make a big deal out of it!
Lady Farga, who saw me and Nair in agony, laid her eyes down.
"Dragons are more brittle creatures than you, humans, imagine. No matter how strong and knowledgeable, even its spirit is not superior. If swallowed up by power, it's like turning into a monster with only the supremacy of destruction and slaughter like my one crack... a weak creature that leans easily"
"Are you too?"
"Oh, I was imprisoned by my emotions and misjudged. If you think of the future of man, you should have killed Karon then."
"No, I'm not."
Nair blocked Master Farga's words.
Surprisingly, if I looked at her on my shoulder, I was staring at Farga with eyes that made me feel some strong will.
"That's not true. I'm sure if you do that, you'll stop trying to live. You didn't kill me because you didn't want to, but you can't regret it."
"Nea...?"
"I think what I say at one end of the cause is wrong. But it's too soon for you to regret it. Karon's still alive, and Miarak's not dead, because we're alive."
Master Farga becomes silent on Nair's words.
I can't ask you what you think from that look.
"I regret what I've done and I know how painfully well you feel about wanting to die. I've been a fool, too, and almost lost something important. But that didn't happen because of this hobby. … so there is still hope"
... you mean Nair is changing on this journey too?
It's only been a short month, but the change was never small.
"Nair's right."
I look up to Master Farga, just like her.
Yes, there's no way I can give up while there's still a chance I can help Mr. Caron.
I was going to help him, too, from the beginning, but now that I've heard about Mr. Leona and Master Farga, that feeling has become unshakeable.
"We are here. I will not give birth to the Second Evil Dragon, and I will try to help you, Mr. Caron."
"... even if they say it's difficult, do you do it?"
"I'm a lifeguard. I'll let you through that much impotence."
I've always been impotent.
Again, that doesn't change.
Mr. Caron has someone waiting for him to come home, and some people wish he didn't want to die like that.
That's all I want to help. [M]
"... after all, you are a strong man. I guess that's why we move on by being foolish"
So groaning, Master Farga made his expression calm and looked down at me and Nair.
"You have qualities as a brave man, but you are not. A brave man is one who fights and triumphs, and you fight and save for others. Maybe that's why we're lucky you didn't come, not brave."
"Well, you can lift that far..."
Kiku, suddenly I was praised and itched.
Lady Farga opened her mouth after meditating her eyes troubled me as I was a little embarrassed and cheeky in the light.
"I have nothing to hide anymore. On top of that, I'd like to ask you something."
"What do you want?"
"I want you to save the one you have."
He wants me to save him... again in the course of this story, it's strange that they say that -
"Are you talking about Mr. Caron?"
"It's not caron. I know you didn't have to wish for that in your earlier words."
I lean my neck at his words, which seem strange.
Sure, it's up to me to help Mr. Caron, even if he doesn't wish to.
... If so, who does Master Farga...?
"The man carries his mission and tries to solve everything by himself. She kept pulling away without even shaking off the strays that annoyed her, and she was determined to do the worst she could."
"Worst, means?"
"We're about to meet someone who's in danger in this city with a forbidden fountain."
"... eh"
In the words, see the fountain beneath Falga's feet.
♪ Creha Fountain ♪
Water that drives people crazy.
A poison that turns life into power.
Falga's "girlfriend” got the water of a fountain that gives ruin and madness to those who seek strength.
"No way...!?"
That's what she looked like yesterday!
Finally, I realized the identity of the discomfort I had with her... No, I realized it!
Amako's right, what a blunt guy I am!
If you think about it, you'll soon find out how mentally stranded she was!
"...... Huh!"
"Neither my words nor those of Norn reach her, who was imprisoned by her mission and was to hold her alone. But your words will still arrive."
He was worried about me today.
Don't push it.
Don't make me worry.
I couldn't imagine her trying to be the most unscrupulous person I've ever been, being kind enough to care about me being unscrupulous.
"Usato, I want you to save Leona. This can only be done by you who did not wish to be a brave man."
She's going to die.
I'm throwing my life at you and trying to stop Mr. Caron.
