Soon the sun is sinking and the red light is plunging in from the west.

Once loose, the air she wraps around also gets colder and sharper as she approaches the city again.

I was observing the change as I chased it from behind.

As we approach the city, the noisy and rushing atmosphere gradually darkens.

It was as if there had been some kind of incident, like that.

As we remain silent for a while, we ask how things are going while we are on alert.

Eventually, when the sun completely sank and one side of the perimeter darkened.

Second, the signs change.

"... Something's approaching"

Merlis-sama, who reacted sensitively, groaned.

"Uh... Dear Merlis...?

If you stay alert to the slightest noise, two of them emerged from it: the old man and Abel.

Apparently, Abel was taking the deep end, making sure the old man dragged her.

"Mr. Alf, this way. Mr. Schrey has immediate protection for Mr. Abel."

"Ha."

She stands forward, as she shelters the two of us.

And I pulled out my sword so I could face the signs of a novice.

In the darkness of not looking an inch ahead, she precisely deciphers the signs coming towards her and slashes and throws them away one after another.

Mr. Alf was covering for him as he stood around undisturbed by it.

"... the next thing you know, you're not coming."

Eventually, where the enemies coming towards no longer come, Lady Merlis punishes the sword.

"Are you okay, Mr. Abel, Alf?"

"Ah... thank you, Master Merlis"

Around that moment Abel fell in.

"Hey...... hey, hey. Mr. Abel!?

I approached the fallen Abel and she touched that body.

As you can see in the dark...... the drool and the warm, iron-smelling liquid dye her hands.

I was touching it until earlier. Plus, she was overreacting.

Rattles and she is shaking her body as she hates its raw warmth.

"Mr. Abel......? Mr. Abel!!

"Step aside, Master Merlis"

Although I try to slit my clothes and apply first aid, it's dark on hand and I can't do anything.

"Alf! Sourcing the lights immediately! Shree, get ready for the medical device!

Abel grabbed her arm with that hand full of blood so as to stop Master Merlis giving instructions.

"... sorry, sorry. I hit him bad before I got here... I managed to get Mr. Alf to take me out and get here..."

"Don't talk! It's all right! Treat him immediately and he'll make it!

"The lights, no. The chaser will know where we are. … leave me immediately"

"What are you talking about!? There's no way you can do that!

"Take this..."

Abel takes a bunch of paper out of her pocket and offers it to Master Merlis.

It was a little bloody stained, that.

"This is..."

"... don't give in to anyone who tries to chase down the Marquis Anderson family... Yes, tell Lord Gazelle. If there is no one there now... who will defend that country? There was that one... finally, the knights and the National Army could still work together. It's because there's that one... the Twilight Nation is stopping the move. Other countries, it's the same... Still, the Kingdom of Tasmeria can't lose that one.... so take this."

Merlis was terrified that Abel would offer it... but he did receive it.

"Neither Lord Gazelle nor Lord Parks will ever... easily receive this. So say it. Don't waste my life."

Copoli and blood spills out of his mouth.

"Why don't you just say it yourself! Don't waste your hard work."

"... you know me best because it's your body"

That said, Abel laughs invincibly.

When I said I was facing a crisis in my life, I could afford it as if it didn't make me feel that way.

"Why... yeah"

Did Master Merlis feel the same thing, hitting Abel with words like a little frustrated?

"... nothing, I'm not taking my life lightly. True... geeks are untrained. But... more than that..."

Abel coughed up, seemingly bitter with the geese.

Potatoes and blood overflowing with coughs.

Even when the cough stopped, there was a breathing sound that sounded painful with Hugh.

"... to the like-minded, … can entrust the future of the country…, from. So... don't worry, you'll pass away..."

Are you blind at the earliest, or are you out of sight with Master Merlis?

At last, the lights of life seemed to be going out.

Master Merlis took his hand.

"I had no choice but to be entrusted.... such, heavy stuff. I swear to you, it's not something you can go on with."

That's what I said, she was laughing in tears.

"I swear to myself that I will. … to preserve the peace of our homeland"

"... it's comforting"

He smiled at her words.

With a colourless complexion and a bitter frown, still do raise the edge of your mouth.

"... Anna is waiting for you. Though I was asked to say hello to you... you might want to say it yourself."

For a moment, Abel opened her eyes to surprise.

But soon I laugh again.

"Yeah...... And I will...... Yes, thank you, Dear Merlis... Louis, Dear"

And I meditated my eyes quietly.

She kept crying at him like that, before... pushing her voice to death.

Potty, Potty and Shizukuishi fall above the sky.

That was gradually out of spacing and eventually light rain.

Cold. That punches me or her.

It's like washing away the entangled red...... and responding to her grief.

... How long has it been?

Me and Mr. Alf, who watched the whole thing, couldn't speak to her like that, just turned away.

Eventually, though, she stood up quietly.

"... let's go. Shree, take Alf. I... because I'm taking Abel"

"... are you taking Abel?

Merlis turns an inorganic gaze to Alf, who asks with an unexpected look on his face.

"Yes.... because I want to put him to sleep in the soil of his homeland"

"But when the chaser came, if I had taken Abel..."

If you take him who can't move, his mobility naturally drops.

That's why Mr. Alf asked.

"... all chasers will be destroyed"

Fuwali, she smiles like a flower.

But with that magnificent, innocent grin, I was sweating cold.

It's like you can even breathe... Oh, no, heavy pressure.

The sound of my heart beating was sounding terribly on my eardrum.

"And for that, I will definitely take him. … disagree, do not admit. Anyway, let's go back."

The bitter air fogs at the time she moves out.

Ho, me and Mr. Alf were sighing at the same time.

"... I'm coming."

And the three of us, including her, run horses to the battlefield.

As Alf's concern implied, we have a chaser.

But all of it, as proclaimed, she pays back.

There was no curtain for Mr. Alf and me to come out, so much so that she was defeating all the enemies she was coming at alone.
