When I woke up the next morning, it had already been quite some time since the sun rose. But drowsiness still strikes me.

Perhaps it's not a good idea that I've had too much to worry about lately here, before I go to bed like every night. Sleeping poorly and feeling slightly sleepless these days.

I don't have any plans today. The reconstruction work that we are willing to do also settles down enough to allow us to put in the rest of the day now, and today is that rest day. You'll have time to sleep.

I took it back into the futon to get another night's sleep before my worrying Charstena tightened me up again.

At that time, even at an untimely time, I kicked up the stairs with a dota, and heard a loud noise and footsteps approaching us.

Where the hell did I look up, the momentum of the door in the room blowing up, it opens up.

"Ray! Oh, my God!

It was Dick, who was on his way to procure relief supplies, who jumped into the room without knocking or anything in a noisy manner.

I was a little surprised to hear that you were back, but I turned to Dick, who looked rather rushed.

"What are you so anxious about? Is the Demon King here?

"Not if it's such a long story, Ray! I don't have Aunt Mullah!

What...?

My mother is... not here...?

"What... what do you mean, Dick!

I jumped out of the futon and stuffed up with Dick to report my mother's disappearance. Though I had suppressed rationally that I almost accidentally grabbed the chest barn, the suppression didn't even work until the yelling.

"Hi there... I did what Prince Janis ordered and when I came to see Ray I said you were still asleep, so when I went to see how Aunt Mullah was doing, I wasn't in my room."

"I wasn't in my room...?

Usually I would have truncated what that was. But not now.

It's been a long time since my mother stopped coming out of the room, when I got stuck in my father's death. I managed to encourage my mother to get her out of the room, but that's not the way it is.

When the hell... No, I know that. While I'm asleep.

Damn it!

I was alarmed that that was not the case only with my mother.

"I'll look outside the village! Dick will tell everyone in the village about this. I'll take care of the rest."

"Wow, okay."

I couldn't stay or stay at the worst sight I had plundered behind my brain, and I jumped out of the house.

Open up your space skills and look across the village. However, it was impossible to grasp everything because too many people had recently emigrated because they had been attracted to evacuees from the Wang capital and uniquely built buildings.

But not if you're in the village. If you look for Dick and the villagers in general, you will soon find them.

But I don't think my mother, who disappeared neglectfully without telling us anything, is anywhere near as soon as she can be found.

If so, it's still outside the village.

But where did your current mother go by herself?

There is no Gabardi. Even if there were, it wouldn't be more rare than having eyes.

Worst of all, a place without eyes. And as far as I could go in half a day, I could only think of one place my mother was headed.

"Please... don't hurry, Mother"

I really regretted telling my mother yesterday that I had built my father's grave, but I accelerated it with prayer.

Just one step. Landed to crash into the slope of the mountain, I stretch my spatial skills to the lake.

"There he is... ugh!

I relieved myself from the bottom of my heart as I captured the shape of the person descending this way.

It's your mother, for sure.

Yes, although I thought about it, I couldn't calm down about not seeing it, and I rushed right out there.

Then, a few minutes in time.

"Mother!"

I found my mother walking down the slope.

"Oh, Ray. From now on, reconstruction work?

"No, I'm not..."

While I saw my mother alive with these eyes and relieved myself all over my body, I stopped talking and turned my gaze toward the sword my mother held in her hand.

That was my father's sword I stabbed in front of my father's grave. The fact that my mother had it would mean that my mother had gone to the grave.

But how did you bring that sword back... again, as a shape-shift?

"Mother, the sword..."

"You mean Scarlet Flame? You want to know why you brought that man's sword home?

"Oh yeah, well... if my mother wants to put it near me as a shadow, I have nothing to complain about..."

Hi, it's not that atmosphere. Until yesterday, where did the dark atmosphere go?

I feel it from my mother. It's a frivolous temper. Yes, it's like we're going to have a fight now...

"Right. Not that I don't feel that way. But this sword has a place more deserving than my side"

That's what I said, my mother lifted her sword.

"What..."

The Scarlet Flame incision was directed at my face, incredibly. I was relieved for a moment.

"Stand up, Ray. This sword belongs to you if you let me in with a blow."

"A blow...?

A blow means attack...?

To me, to your mother?

You're such an idiot.

"Stand fast."

Suddenly it unfolds too much for the situation to swallow. But Mother's atmosphere and words mesh so much that there is no more.

"Hey, wait a minute! Mother, are you serious?

"Yes, of course. But if you can't get a blow in... your journey ends here. I won't allow you to live as an adventurer."

"Huh...!

I couldn't have stopped being stunned.

Have you ever imagined the sight of a mother pointing a sword at herself?

Can you imagine my mother, who supported me when I said I wanted to be an adventurer, would stand in the way?

No.

But...

"The reason... I don't even have to ask."

Because I'm weak.

He doesn't even have more physical abilities than his father, like Dick, and he doesn't have super stunts, like Charstena.

Magic, which can be called the only handle, is now drooling.

With this kind of body, my mother can't stop me. Because all you see is the consequences of death there.

"─ Okay."

Then I must show you.

To make my mother feel safe, not to question my strength, and most importantly, not to break myself on the way.

This is a test for that.

I took a massively infused sword out of storage. And I nodded one when I gently gripped it with my right hand.

─ ─ The battle is on.

"Elements"

As her mother protruded her left hand forward, four colored balls of light appeared around that hand and began to circle around the circle and hand.

Red, blue, green and yellow balls are undoubtedly some sort of magic in themselves, but they don't look like direct attack magic.

So, defensive magic?

I kicked up the stone that was at my feet and hit it lightly with my left hand. Aim, of course, its magical performance. However, the stone spot where my mother jumped through the straight line, evaporated by the fire of scarlet flames.

My face is unwittingly drawn. Flames nowadays are nothing more than an indication of intent as to which side Scarlet Flames is on. My father's sword is also trying to make me impudent.

"Sure, I told you not to take a blow, but it's pointless in stone."

And, my mother waves scarlet flame to a horizontal giraffe. It was Moro's sword muscle that he was very disguised and unfamiliar with, but the fire that comes from it makes up for his immaturity. Easy fire magic, so to speak.

Having immediately jumped up and avoided, I decided that the evasion would narrow to the disadvantage of ground warfare, dragonized and switched to air warfare. But then it wasn't enough to escape my mother's attack yet.

One of the balls that moved from hand to back and was dancing with a circle emitted a sharp glow. It was a green light body.

"Huh...!

Severe wind pressure as it protrudes from the ground. Measuring my resistance with wings, I was swallowed up by a fierce gust of wind and lost control of my body.

And that was followed by a red sphere that increased its brilliance.

Let it ride in the wind like a leaf of a tree, and a bullet of fire dances. Having already been killed for a free flight, I didn't have time to collide with that bullet.

"Ahhh...!

But on the verge of twisting my body, I slashed and tore the bullet of fire. The temper leaked with the exhalation, but soon the next bullet will be on its way.

I tried to swing my sword through it at the right time again, that time.

There was a thunderbolt in my ear.

"Guh!

Visited with the sound was a lightning bolt that pierced the entire body. A bullet of fire accelerated by the stir of the wind that kills there. I had no escape, I was exposed to a storm of pursuit from all directions.

When I heard the sound of a vacuum and a dragon phosphorus cracking, the thunder and the heat of fire burned my body, and there was a hole in my wing, and I followed gravity, and I fell.

As such, waiting for me to be dropped to the ground was the fierceness of the rest of the balls. A roaring and uplifting dirt wall surrounded me, like a doughnut, and a series of water bullets began to fire from the sky there.

"Kuh......!

Suffering from a series of attacks that didn't take long to breathe, I devour my teeth and pound water bullets in the narrow as I roll.

Is this the strength of a real mother......!

I used to hear you were an S-class adventurer, but that's not the level to fit into that frame.

It's a guard position, so there's no such thing as an advantage to this one. If you can't even get close, you can easily cover such an advantage.

It's me who's at a disadvantage right now.

By the time she realized it, her mother had finished hitting her next hand.

"Thunderbomb."

The sky was anointed with thunder. Dozens of lightning rays can bounce radially and fall in holes surrounded by dirt walls.

That must have been the aim of this dirt wall and water bullet. It was already too late when I realized it. I didn't have to be sure, I was tangled up in a wire.

In this case, a conductor is a thinly stretched reservoir of water in the hole. But there is no need to compare my reflexively popping up with lightning that exceeds the limits of the speed that can be manipulated by magic in exchange for aiming and approaching the original lightning speed.

A second thunder struck me out today.

Vision dims. Huge amounts of heat erupted the water and the air, shooting me down every dirt wall.

Events of less than a second before the current that led to death transmitted the body and escaped to the ground. But in the meantime, I was struck out of consciousness more than once and with the pain of running to my body.

They're bees and black burnt. The ground is charged. I'm part of it again, and it acts as a conductor of electricity that escapes from knee to bottom completely to the ground.

"Is it over?

My mother, who was in a position to look down at me, had her eyes closed. Is that because my abilities without magic were so unusual that I couldn't even look at them, or is there another reason?

Either way, you can't lose here.

"... no, not yet."

That being said, I got a magical direct hit without a demon costume, and I got up with a yo-yo and raised my mouth slightly.

Then, the mother opens her eyes just a little.

"Yes... you're sturdier than I thought"

Placing between words and moments, the yellow sphere raised a dazzling light, and a dirt wall rose between my mother and me. Again, when I looked up into the sky surrounded in all directions, water bullets were being generated there again.

Again, is it a hit?

Then what's next...

I instantly turn it all to my right foot when I take out the accumulated and placed magic vegetables slightly. In that gap too, the first bullet was dropped from the sky, but all of it is smashed from the front with a partially widened demonic costume and a body hit.

I jumped into the water bullet myself and jumped far above it.

So, if you look down, the mumbling mother's face is pointed this way, behind which the yellow, blue followed by the green sphere adds radiance.

And a breeze blowing up. I never took my eyes off my mother among them.

Then, as the last sphere increases its brilliance and emits a flash of red, a bullet of fire is generated in the turbulence. I was forced into the same situation as earlier, but I looked down and laughed.

"Come on, which one?

I'll never hear you. Throw the inquiry and activate the instant move. Moved ahead is a calm sky with no turbulence in the airflow. Then he moved to the position where he entered his mother's sight and waited for that time.

"-Threitis."

A vision enveloped by fire in an instant. The moment the flaming thunder sounded the bee, the glow of the balls disappeared.

... I knew you were a parent and child.

Yes, I cast my magic as some happy feeling boiled down.

"Wind blast."

The air I could have bounced by involving myself. An auspicious breeze blows through the perimeter, sweeping down the trees with every thunder flame. But while it was still in place, this time the wind blowing up directly above me stirred up my body and a storm of fire bullets broke out.

In it, I fell upside down in an instant when my body turned against the ground.

The dust dances. and a dirt wall that at the same time protrudes to enclose its dust. I approached the dirt wall immediately and stuck my fist out. The rigid arm obtained by magic contraction crushes the wall by how many meters thick. A mother with glowing balls of four colors that seemed beyond that rubble and a brilliant sword that was red as if waiting for prey.

"I got it!

I jumped faster than the rubble splashing out of the hole in the wall and fleshed to my mother.

Mother's hand moves. But that speed is dull from me now. But the residual light emitted by that sword is no more sharp.

- Zoku!

For a moment.

For just a moment I got the illusion that I was about to jump into the dragon's jaw. An unpleasant sweat transmits on his back and burns in front of him.

Whoa, whoa!

It's already too easy to say fire. The fireworks that melt all things are no longer any different than the lava is erupting.

It's like a volcano erupted right in front of me and pointing that crater at me.

It can't be avoided. Then...

"Just slash him down!

Fire. Fire. Fire.

It can't be better than that scorching flame my father created in exchange for his life.

Listen to the heartbeat. Not the sword in my hand right now.

Slash the heartbeat of scarlet flames!

"Ha...!

Beyond the bright red, pulsating beats.

Guided by the sound of dokundokun and its sounds that do sound, the sword disappears into the flames. Hot air burns palms through the pattern. But a definite feeling that comes along with burn pain. A slashed open flame flows behind me, avoiding my body.

And then, ahead through the gap of flames, her mother was leaning back on her upper body and throwing her right hand into the sky. In its hands, Scarlet Flame is still gripped, but completely out of balance.

But...

"Not bad."

I won't let my mother go to war. Because behind it, you had already dealt with me trying to unleash the chase.

Four species of spheres are emitting intense flashes at the same time. The mother in front of it looked as if she was wearing a hind light.

What then emerged from the light was a supreme flash covering four attributes. The groundwater fire wind attributes mixed together separately, but as one flash, so that they twisted and wore my belly.

"Ha...!

There is a blunt pain in my stomach that makes me steam back. But I'm not frightened.

Because this is just a planned harmony.

This is where the battle is...!

That's what got me in the mood, one step forward relative to that flash.

Shake the sword of your right hand with all your might. Into the belly of scarlet flames.

Kin! and I could play a tall noise, and I was blown away with the flash.

The anguish of a tortuous stomach and the pain of being struck hard by the trunk of a tree on the back. Your body is screwed from the earth into a giant tree that protrudes, and, inappropriately, momentum stops.

And at the same time, the wrapped back light of my mother showed shade...

─ ─ Kotsun.

That's the sound of a bell announcing the end of the battle. The sound of an unreliable bell that is very small and likely to scratch away with it.

But I won't miss that. Not to mention that its audio source, its mother, can't miss hearing it.

"- I won, Mother."

I laugh buried in the trunk of a tree, seeping blood in my mouth.

"... they did it."

That's what my mother said, she broke her hips.

And when I picked up the stone (...) that decided the battle, I put it on my hand.

"Your aim was to put this stone on me from the beginning."

"That's right. I'm a little bit of a hitter or slayer."

I answered with a smile. When my mother exhales with her shoulders clasped against me like that, she releases the magic.

"I'm impotent. For the last moment, no, it would have been easy to win if you had targeted me directly before that."

My mother said something about the slight dissatisfaction with this result, but as far as I was concerned, it was a better experience.

"Ha, maybe. But then, no body. I've always been interested in what happens to my mother once she gets serious. Is that an element? The magic just now. I didn't know I could use that magic."

Magic is made of images. So I always use magic with awareness of its effects. For example, the water dragon is aware of the fast flow anyway, and many parts of its shape rely on magic manipulation.

So I never thought about incorporating an algorithm into an image.

"The magic of the element is, by the way, automatic attack magic, right? It is the role of the yellow and green spheres to bisect into the earth and sky and capture the opponent. It is the role of the blue and red spheres to attack the captured opponent and not let him escape. And the magic of your mother's thunderbolt system signals the unwitting."

I noticed this thanks to my mother closing her eyes and talking to me. Therefore, it was possible to speculate that it was not automatic attack magic with an axis of vision.

And then, in its content, did you notice this as soon as possible because you fought Skull? I felt a sense of vision in the use of magic to capture the target and then move on to the attack.

That's why its palm seemed clearer.

If you're a mother, how do you assemble the algorithm? Demonstrate the guesses one by one to see through the pattern.

If you get here, the rest is easy. If you let the magic of the element go to waste and let the auto-defending scarlet flame go away from your mother before it resets, you will be stoned by nothing.

But the question then was how the element would move when it approached. You can't possibly activate magic that involves each other.

Then what? I would create an algorithm that plays back to keep my opponent at a distance.

Yes, because I thought about it, I went out of my way to stick a giant tree in my back to my mother. Even when the worst was inevitable, so we could drop stones before the attack was over.

And the plot succeeded, and then the automatic pursuit didn't come because it didn't meet the algorithm of emptiness or ground because it was buried in the trunk of a tree. Well, I wasn't exactly sure so far, but it turned out to be the one called O'Rei.

"... heh, you've spotted it so well. Element was my special as an adventurer, wasn't it?

"I'll say it often. It's a habit I've been remiss in."

All that number, taking my mother's magic seriously, I'm not taking serious illness as one. That's more evidence than anything you've ever done to help me, and even though you say you're going to try me, it's my mother's love that I couldn't be serious about.

"Then, as promised, you will not take this sword"

"... yeah"

I looked up at my mother's face with the scarlet flame I had been offered.

"Whatever you do, I won't stop. Because that was his will. But be sure to come back alive."

"... I know. I don't want you to lose it or let me lose it. But I won't stop walking for it. I'll do it all right. I'll put it all in circles. To do that, if you say you need this guy..."

I raise scarlet flames in the sky and expose them to the sun.

I'll take this one.

... It's a strange feeling.

I do feel a breath not found in any other sword from this sword. It feels like you're constantly getting rough exhales.

And that feeling tells us. How to use this sword.

"I swear here. Someday you're bound to be a man over your father."

Rise up the breath of sleep in the sky.

Scarlet flames shade the dragon's tattoo.

But the pillars of fire that have risen to the sky are everywhere.

I believe it reached above the sky.
