Cold and sharp, felt on the neck.

It is Mr. Kannagi, the beast man who is trying to kill us, who has a knife that would easily take my life if he moved at all.

The situation in which I was placed sucked.

"I'll say it again. Usat, solve the assimilation."

"... Kannagi, you are"

I was pulled hostage by Mr. Kannagi's manipulative vortex.

I can't speak one voice, not just too much physical movement of fear.

Now I have my life in this man's hands.

That's just what I thought, I can't stop my body trembling.

"Quick!"

But like me, Mr. Kannagi's arm was trembling terribly as well, catching me.

I don't know what emotion that comes from.

At least, Mr. Kannagi's face stood against something and seemed in a hurry.

"... ferm"

When Mr. Usato says so, three figures pop out of his body.

It was to Amako, to Nair, and to Fermu who appeared to divide.

With that, Mr. Usato's appearance also changed from that of the demonic tribe, to that of a human in white.

"---hmm."

"Ugh..."

Mr. Usato looks at me when I raise my voice unexpectedly, with even more power caged in the arms of Mr. Kannagi, who is catching me.

"Keira, don't worry. You will definitely go back to Mr. Greff and the others."

"Usa, Mr. T......"

I wish I could abandon myself.

Seeing Usato, who solved the assimilation, Kannagi, when he released the blade of the knife from my neck, turned it backwards and pointed the patterned part at Usato.

"Take me this sword, and I will save this child's life."

"... except Keira?"

"Now you think you're in a position to choose? Honestly, I've been wanting to kill this kid for a long time and I'm putting up with it. No more concessions."

……

"Hurry up and finish the three of them, okay?"

Kannagi's gaze is directed at Amako and the others behind him.

His eyes closed and he was silent for about a few seconds, nodding at Mr. Kannagi's words as he stepped forward.

"Okay."

"No, Usat! Not only will you lose your healing magic, but you will be affected by evil dragons! Worst of all, I can be imprisoned for my hatred of the entire Demon Nation!"

"It's okay, if ever, live positively as a light wizard"

"Why are you activating weird positives there?"

Mr. Usato loses his healing magic?

Are we going to have a hatred for the whole demon clan?

In the back of my brain, I can see Usato being nice to us.

I don't like it.

I don't want this guy to change.

I don't want you to hate us.

"No, no..."

A blurry little voice can come out of my mouth.

I don't want anyone to get hurt.

I can't stand someone getting hurt for me either.

Yet my weakness has led to this situation.

Mr. Kannagi slowly approaches Mr. Usat with a distorted grin.

"I don't like it...!!"

I can't just stay protected forever.

The black magic characteristic of dark magic overflows from my feet, so clearly voiced.

It's not like before, the feeling of manipulating magic at your will.

"--- Heh, dark magic!?"

"I'll protect you. I won't let anyone hurt you anymore!!"

Swallow your head as dark magic envelops me.

What formed was a black cape-like coat that covered my entire body softly.

It moves apart from my will, shakes off Mr. Kannagi's restraint, and plays her body.

"This! little girl...... ugh!!"

"Here it is! Healing Flying Fist!"

"Oh, my God! Why, my God, Usato!!"

When Mr. Usato sticks out his right fist, something jumps out of it with tremendous momentum and hits Mr. Kannagi directly.

Freed from the hostages and unintentionally appeased, a cloak of black magic covering me moves toward Mr. Usato on his own.

Plus, flying in the sky.

It's the first experience I've ever had in my life to fly, so I can only scream.

"Wow, wow!?"

"Keira!?"

Usato will take it.

Mr. Usato, who has fallen back to let the shock escape, rushes to see if I'm cheap or not.

"Are you hurt!? Nowhere is he slashed!?"

"Duh, duh, it's ok!!"

"Usatovo!!"

Mr. Kannagi's voice can also be called a scream.

Me and Mr. Usato, at the same time, look at Mr. Kannagi throwing a lot of fireballs from his flame-wrapped tail as he turns to you.

"Ya, slightly. I knew it!"

"Hold on, I can handle this right now -"

"Ha, ha, you can swing me!! I'm a dark wizard, so I'm fine!"

…… Koga bastard, what the hell did you blow into Keira......! Forgive me!! "

The moment Usat, who supported me with his left arm clinging to his neck and wrapped his magic around his right hand, attempts to unleash magic on an impending fireball, the cloak worn by me moves out on its own.

"Huh? Oh, hey, move on your own...... ahhh!?"

"To?"

Moving away from me, the cloak extinguishes the fireball as it moves around incredibly fast.

The cloak, which instantly bounced off all the fireballs destined for Mr. Usato and me, is somehow put on me to weave feathers on both shoulders of Mr. Usato, not mine.

…… Uh, Keira, what's this? "

"Wow, it's my magic... but it's refreshing to me too..."

Did my magic protect Mr. Usato?

It moves on its own, but I feel like a relief, unlike before.

"I don't know what it is, but again, gather them all!!"

"Damn, people are rough..."

"Yes."

"Ha..."

Mr. Fermu, Mr. Nair and Mr. Amako jump in turn to Mr. Usato with me in their arms.

In an instant, Mr. Usato, who appeared entangled in black magic, turns his empty right hand toward the cannabis as he flips through my dark magic - the black cloak.

Keira, who has been held hostage, but with her own dark magic on this earthen field, she was able to get rid of her predicament.

But while I was surprised that Keira flew at a fierce speed in that next moment, I was even more stunned that her dark magic had stuck on my shoulder like a cloak.

"Ahhh!"

Kannagi launches an attack as he weaves his magic without question.

Definition is the only thing missing from that attack, but it's more harsh than it was earlier, with a strong willingness to kill.

But a feathered cloak taps off most of that on my shoulder.

"Keira, your magic sounds like a magic specializing in defense...!"

"Maybe it reflected my desire not to hurt anyone in this guy"

Then why did you stick to Usat?

When Nair asks that strangely to Fermu, who squeals so in me, she turns and becomes grumpy.

"I don't know!! I would never tell you if I knew!"

"Why are you angry!"

So I want you to stop fighting in me.

Slightly more relaxed, he wields his right fist wrapped in elastic granting and begins an attack that slips through the cloak's defense.

"I really wish I had let you get away to a safe place......!"

"No... because here too, in a way, is the safest"

'Right. If you're near Usat, you'll be fine.'

Amako agrees with Keira.

For once, I'm letting you protect me with black magic, but not necessarily without it.

Not to mention that Kannagi is targeting the Demons as a priority. As long as Keira's here, there's no guarantee she'll be absolutely safe.

"Usato, come out back left"

"There!"

You can't instantly wave a turning fist, but you can't attack the main body just by capturing the shadow of a cannabis.

I can prevent that attack now, but I can't hit this one either.

It just wears off like this.

"No, if you have Keira's magic..."

"What, me?"

Can you use that move that would take a while to activate?

A translucent figure - Mr. Kannagi himself - flies at me as I try to respond to the attack, eyeing Kannagi moving through a white vortex.

"Usato"

"Mr. Kannagi! I'm busy right now...!"

"I'll Stop That Child"

"Can you stop it!?"

Unexpectedly, I'm about to turn to Mr. Kannagi, but before that, Kannagi, a ghost-shaped Kannagi, will shake his sword off to my brain.

It is inhibited by Keira's cloak, but her gaze is directed at Mr. Kannagi.

"What are you going to do over this period...!"

"Help You"

To Mr. Kannagi's words, she makes her anger even more exposed.

"You're going to erase me...! Don't lie! You are so good at lying to yourself conveniently!!"

'I've lost everything, but not this time. Usato'

"In the meantime, try as much as you can!!"

Leave Kannagi as she responds to her voice.

Mr. Kannagi, lined up beside me, gives me some instructions.

'--- To do this, you need to stop that kid from moving. Can?'

"Just, there's something I was going to do"

'Okay. I believe you. I'm temporarily possessed by you. "

"Oh, I didn't hear that...... ooh!?"

Mr. Kannagi enters me without question.

I can't feel any physical abnormality, but I can't describe being possessed.

With my cheeks raised with my right hand as I blued my face, I speak to Amako and the others in me.

"Wow! Everybody, let's do that!"

"'What!?'"

'... ok. I just checked with prediction.'

No problem if you pass it on to Amako.

Quickly I move the elasticity imparted to my left hand and create a healing burst wave with my right cage hand.

'Amakoo, tell me before this guy does something crazy!!'

"Hurry up!!"

"Huh? Usato, what..."

Cover your entire right arm with black magic to envelop the healing bomb you created, creating a shell.

A spell of resistance to impact on the shell as it is.

Move on to layering the curse of restraint on the healing bomb and striking out more healing flying fists.

- It takes time to launch this move.

In the meantime, Kannagi is still attacking me, but Fermu manipulates all of them and Keira's cloak prevents them.

"Damn, this...!"

Still, after glancing at the cannabis trying to stop my attack, I speak quietly to Amako, who is inside.

"Amako."

"Yeah."

A blow that surely drives the cannabis.

That doesn't make sense if you don't guess, but if Amako is there, there's no problem.

Predict Kannagi's escape position.

"Okay."

"---Hip...!?"

Did you see the prediction, the cannabis entering the whirlpool with their faces blue?

If Amako focuses on prediction, Amako can see a future further ahead than the cannabis that must always move.

Anyway, Amako is not like Kannagi, and we can afford to make that possible.

As Amako instructed, turn your right arm diagonally up-,

"Coming Out There"

"Go, heal eight foot ammo!!"

A healing bomb accelerated by a healing flying fist - releasing a healing eight-foot bullet.

Glancing at the intense recoil but looking at the flying tip, a cannabis emerges from the white vortex.

"--Nah."

Immediately before a magic bullet approaches her, the elasticity grant begins to fly.

This is accompanied by an intense burst of healing magic that unleashes a shockwave and a curse of restraint.

Kannagi tries to wrap her black magic around her, but the shock wave blows it away so easily that it hits her body.

"Uhhhh!?"

Cages due to shock waves.

Widespread shaped imperative of healing magic.

That's the healing eight-foot bullet.

Purple literature by the spell of restraint and healing magic particles scattered throughout the air.

And to the appearance of the cannabis that continue to be exposed to shockwaves -,

"'Wow...'"

"Wow, beautiful..."

The three daughters in my company leak a dongled voice.

The only thing that impresses me is Keira, with her pure eyes.

Breaking my heart about how Kannagi is doing, I bring the Keira I've been holding down to the ground.

When this girl leaves me, the cloak on her shoulder goes back to her, but that's more convenient for me.

"Keira, are you okay alone?"

"Yes, I'm not always protected anymore."

"Okay.... let's see"

When the shock waves subside while filling the space with healing magic particles, the weakened cannabis fall from it.

Using elasticity and an outburst of magic, get to her immediately and take it.

"Ugh..."

"Mr. Kannagi!"

"Yeah!"

Mr. Kannagi, who was possessed by me at the same time as he spoke to me, enters Kannagi's body through me.

After a few seconds or so, she slowly opens her eyes and looks at my face.

"Success... I did"

"I don't mind if I put you back in the body... what are you going to do after this?"

But that voice sounds double.

Returning Mr. Kannagi's soul to its former body.

That was the way she told me to do something about the cannabis.

I needed to push Kannagi to pass out for that, but I haven't heard what she's going to do from here.

"It can't be normal to have two souls in the same flesh. What are you going to do? '

"Usato, trust me"

?

"Hey, confusing things, because I will"

Mr. Kannagi turns his attention to the brave sword he holds.

When she grips it, the black magic wrapped around its body is lost to dissolve on the ground. With it, something like a ball of light pops out of the knife and heads toward those with koga.

"We're back, too!"

'Then come and help those people!! At least give me back what you protected!'

"Guru!?"

Is Koga's magic back?

Return your gaze from Koga being kicked by Mr. Siel to Kannagi holding him.

At some point she was trying to regain the knife backwards and stick it in her own chest.

"Become!?"

"It's okay, don't stop"

Yes, she said to me, trying to pierce her radiant self into her chest - just before that, Kannagi's own left hand stops grasping the radiant blade.

"--- I don't like it. I don't want to disappear. I don't want to disappear."

"... ugh."

"Help me... help me... Usato..."

Kannagi, who looked up at me like that, begged me to do so in tears.

Blood overflows from the hand holding the knife, dyeing her clothes red.

"I can't believe no one wants me to... Why was I born…? If I were a creature, I wouldn't be allowed to live normally…?"

——— Kannagi is a child.

Even while you were fighting, you knew that.

The fact that he tried to take hostages, regardless, was also because he was desperate.

Even though she was trapped in hatred for the Demons, she asked me for help.

"Finally, I could see you... There was so much I wanted to talk about... The truth is, this wasn't supposed to happen..."

"Kannagi......"

This kid was just desperate.

I used someone fine because I was desperate, and I put them in danger.

That's not a good thing to forgive, but if that's what you chose to do because you wanted me to help, I have one end of the blame.

"The first person Kannagi saw was you."

Nair appears next to me, who solves the assimilation with Fermu.

"Since I woke up, I've been alone for hundreds of years. That's when I saw you through Katana pulled out of the heart of the evil dragon."

"Yes, it was..."

"The truth is, I just wanted you to help... maybe. I couldn't live honestly with myself or be aware of it because I was born with incomplete will"

……

I can't find the words to call.

I refused to help Kannagi. [M]

At that time, when I think about how much I've hurt her, I'm annoyed by strong regrets.

I unwrap Kannagi's hand holding the blade with the hand she was turning to support her back, gripping it healing magically.

"I'm sorry. I couldn't notice your voice asking for help."

"Usa, t..."

"... I can't do anything"

Heal her hand wounds with less magic.

There are only a few things I can do anywhere. [M]

On the spot, even if I've meant to do what's best for me, there are lives I can't save somewhere.

I have had such thoughts many times during my battle with the Demon King Army.

But still, I'm not as clean as giving up so easily because there's nothing I can do.

I lay my hands on the knife that Kannagi is gripping with my right hand and cage my strength.

"But you can believe it"

"Hey Usato, what are you...!?"

- Stick your glowing self straight into the cannabis.

I haven't forgotten what you said about helping Kannagi...! Kannagi...!

"--ooh!"

Something pours from her body into her body the moment the sword pierces the cannabis.

It releases a strong black presence.

The presence was memorable.

Wicked and murderous, a living disaster - an aura unleashed by evil dragons.

"This is..."

"The evil dragon's resentment is on the knife...? No, there's something else going on with me..."

Me and Nair.

If you dye the steel fillet black, you lose your strength so that the Kannagi's body weakens.

At the same time, Karan, a knife that made a noise and turned into a black knife, falls to the ground. When you look at the place where the sword pierced you, there are no scratches, and on the contrary, there are no holes in your clothes.

"... Mr. Kannagi"

The golems who were fighting the seniors fall apart and fall apart.

I go to my predecessors with Mr. Kannagi who doesn't wake up.

The battle that lasted so long was over, but my heart still did not rest.
