Do You Think Someone Like You Can Defeat the Demon King?

Even when the fierce fighting noise stopped, Linus never joined the Flams.

Around Saul, I guess Hugue is still wandering.

Two people wandering near the street looking for him without being able to get anywhere near the town, therefore.

But I still don't see him.

"That..."

Fram found there a shadow walking down the street from the king's capital side.

And there's more than one.

The woman, who takes the run-down average person and leads the way, gives the look of surprise when she sees the flam.

"Fram, I never thought I'd see you in a place like this."

"Otilier, that's our dialogue."

Otilier's wrapped military uniform is clean, and the distinctive red twin tail is crisp.

Perhaps she, too, once escaped outside, as did Linus.

I can't feel any hostility from her, I rather look at this one worried.

The appearance is such that she does not seem to be the same person as she was when she behaved violently against Flam.

"Because of that outfit, you've been running all the way out here by yourself, haven't you?

"That kind of Otilier came to help those who remained. Does that mean there's a shelter nearby?

"I know about the shelter, but it's quick. Yeah, you're right, we're splitting up in the army looking for survivors. Bert, a church knight, and a man named Linus, your companion."

"I know, because I was with Mr. Linus until just now. But Hugue, who captured the core, attacked us to get away with it..."

"You haven't been able to rendezvous yet."

Flam nodded with a dark look.

I was showing all that confidence, I don't want to think Hugue did it to me - but I can't think of the possibility that I'm lost only in Linus.

It's possible that he's wrong, but he's going to be able to magically detect where the Flams are.

"I took in the core, Hugue... when he was going to wander around here, you just wanted to get yourself to a shelter soon. How about you guys?

I want to give top priority to rendezvous with Linus, but I want to avoid things being attacked by Hugue.

Once evacuated, it would be good to reveal the night.

It was a flam trying to drink an invitation, but Milkit stares anxiously at me.

"That guy named Otilier, he was your husband's enemy, wasn't he? Can you trust me?"

"As far as I'm concerned, I don't trust you... Hey Otilier, is Mr. Henriette safe?

"Of course. If anything happens to your sister, I won't stay sane."

It is a very convincing word.

This means that if Henriette is even safe, Otilier doesn't have to worry about going wild.

"Apparently, I think it's going to be okay for now."

"If that's what your husband says..."

Still, Milkit was anxious, but I guess that's all he's worried about about Flam.

"We're just getting this over with, and we're leaving. They're tired of traveling long hours."

Thus, the two were taken by Ottilier to the shelter, which was about two hours' walk away.

◇ ◇ ◇

Off the streets, through the meadows and upon reaching the small high hills, Otilier stops.

The place she illuminated in Cantera had enough holes for each person to crawl in on all fours.

"This is the refuge?

"The entrance is narrow, but don't worry, it's wide inside"

That said, let the ordinary people you brought inside first.

Fram stepped into the ruins through that hole after the mill kit.

It's surprisingly bright inside.

He said Satooki had come up with a proposal to use it as a shelter, and I guess this light was installed then.

As Otilier said, it was wide inside and could normally stand and travel as long as the entrance fell through.

The walls are just decaying to the point where they make the times feel right, but for some reason they have a sense of ready-to-see.

Flam, conceived with his hand on his jaw, drew one conclusion.

It's that lab I saw with Saila at Enicide.

The atmosphere of the walls is very similar.

After a while, there too, it may have been an underground facility built using the place where the ruins were originally located.

When Otilier, the last to come in, takes the lead again, he leads the Flams on ahead.

If it's the same size facility as Enicide here, it should be quite large - the hallway is a bit narrow and the ceiling is low.

It will be narrower than that, as Fram imagined, and it will soon reach the deepest point.

When Otilier opened the door bigger than the others, there was a wide space ahead.

"Otilier, are you finally here? That was too late."

"Sister!

When she saw her sister, who had already arrived, Otilier threw out Cantera and hugged her.

Henriette is also used to it, turning her arms around her back like she's giving up her puppy.

"This place..."

Flam looking around indoors.

Then I see a big man.

"Mr. Hellman!

"... Long time no see"

"Yes, it's been a while. I feel safe."

When Flam says so and bows his head, Herman smiles with a grin.

Henriette, who noticed the presence of Fram and Milkit, also opened her eyes and looked at her.

"Surprised, I didn't know you'd be here. O'Tillier brought you here?

"Mr. Henriette, it's been a long time... not so long. I met her on the street by accident."

"Well, if you'll be here, this shelter will be safe."

Now that I don't have soul eaters, Fram doesn't have that much power - but still, I can count on more than people who don't have the power to fight.

Otherwise, Werner is in the hall.

I guess from the beginning Henriette was going to assemble at this shelter and stay, to observe from the words' You were late 'for Otilier.

"Until me (...) Does that mean anyone else is coming?

"Oh, it was Keraina and Halom, those two too - see, I'm sitting on the right"

Flam and Milkit walk up to the Kerainas side by side.

Keraina slept on her arm, and Harom, sleeping around in the blanket next door, covered about half her face with a bandage.

It looks painful, but should I think I was just lucky to have a life?

But - how did you talk about Gadio?

It wasn't decided to be dead, but it's unlimited.

I guess we just have to be honest about the fact that we missed ourselves by stopping Echidna.

"To Fram, it's not Milkit! You got out of Wang Du."

"Yes, Mr. Gadio helped me."

When Flam says so, Keraina asks at a glance.

"So what about Gadio? Aren't you with me?

"I said I would stop Echidna, and I stayed in the king's capital. And then... I'm sorry, I don't know"

"Oh well..."

As soon as she hears the reply, Keraina is depressed as she shriveled.

I couldn't bring the bright news, and Fram's chest hurt, too.

"How did you get here, Mr. Keraina?

Flam asks as he sits across from Keraina.

Late, Milkit sat right next to her, too.

"It's embarrassing, but at first we were confused, too. Gadio calmed me down while I protected him... and then I left the mansion with him"

The two wounds appear to have been made with their own hands at that time.

"From there, towards the North Side, Gadio was with us until he was handed over to the army men near the Royal Castle. But he stayed in the king's capital because he said," I have something to do. "Now that I think about it, I guess that's what it was about fighting Echidna."

Keraina strokes Halom from above the blanket and speaks lonely.

The emotion was also somewhat mixed with the jealousy of 'Do you prioritize the revenge of Dead Tier over the living self?

That's all I said.

That's how he's lived, and it's not something he can change now.

Still - Gadio accepted about Keraina only once at Demon King Castle.

Even if they say it's a pain in the ass, it would be a natural desire for you as a woman to choose yourself.

"From the King's Capital, only the royal family in the castle knew about it. We used underground passages and dots to escape. With that said, you were with a king and a woman named Ella."

"Slough and Eela are safe too...!

Flam grinned and saw the look on the face of the Lord and Milkit let down his cheeks too.

Whatever Slough is, he has a hate-hating relationship with Eela, but it's reassuring to hear he's alive for some reason.

But not being here means I guess I'm using another shelter.

Sure, this room is huge.

But since there are already about twenty people, considering the food and water that Henriettes bring in from the outside, the capacity is likely to reach its limits.

"Speaking of which, don't you know where Mr. Eterna or Ink is?

Keraina shook her neck to the side, even asking about her, who she still didn't know was there.

But at least Gadio and Linus were safe until they met with Flam.

A person with as much power as Eterna would live somewhere with ink - Flam wants to believe so.

"Flam, can I have a moment?"

From behind the flam I was talking to Keraina, Otilier speaks up.

The trauma stained with my body doesn't disappear so easily.

Suppress it somehow and look back.

"Your sister wants to talk about the future, could you come?

Fram obeyed honestly and left the scene by saying goodbye to Keraina.

And with Milkit, he joins the circle of conversation between Henriette, Otilier, Hellman and Werner.

Honestly, I'm uncomfortable.

Milkit also grabbed the hem of Flam's jacket and stood anxiously behind him.

That's right, he's the kind of person who's had a real life takeover until the other day, so suddenly I have trouble telling him to be on my side.

But around that time, Linus seemed to be doing well, and again, 'Interpersonal skills are high,' Fram said, deploring.

"I'm sorry, I called you up."

"No, I don't mind. So, what's the future story?

"I was hoping to get some information about Hugh first. Otilier told me you were using the core."

"Yes, there was a collection of monsters like Kimyra stuck to my arm, and it was getting huge and stretching far away"

We didn't actually engage, so we don't know the details.

The flam now could only explain to that extent.

"I wonder if the grunt I heard then could have been the sound of his battle"

"If it was the sound I heard from the mountain side, I heard it too, so I think it's probably it"

"My feet were shaking and it was quite powerful."

"... it's troublesome"

"If it was at least a decent person with that power, I might have gotten to the point."

The only way to deal with it is to either not encounter it or defeat it.

But even if we challenge everyone gathered here, can we beat him now?

"If that Linus isn't back from a stall... tough"

"But speed wasn't a big deal, so I think Mr. Linus could get away with it."

In that regard, Fram was confident.

Killing Linus thoroughly for survival is probably not even possible with that Hugue.

Considering that the ground rang heard from the mountains, he fled in there.

That means I didn't really try to bump into Hugue, I guess I tried to use the terrain to sprinkle it.

And the last thing I heard about the ground ringing was - the battle ended there.

Probably with Linus getting away.

"I was wondering if it might have been something else that kept me from joining us."

"For example?"

"After I left Hugue, Kimyra found me, or something. But in that case, Mr. Linus will be able to escape, so he must be alive somewhere."

"Hmm... if that's all you have to say, let's believe it. Speaking of which, do you know where Burt is? I was working with Linus, and he was supposed to rendezvous here."

"He took the survivors who remained in La Rancra to another shelter."

"After what happened with Hugh? Well, that's fine."

Henriette looks relieved.

Doesn't show up at the rendezvous point, in the present situation, which is likely to mean death.

She had also broken it off that there was no choice but to have a victim, but it's not that it wouldn't be hard for someone to die.

After that, there was a discussion of the plans for transporting people who had evacuated to the ruins, scheduled for tomorrow and beyond - specifically.

We need to escort them out of close proximity to the safety zone.

It will determine the hand, route, and time zone, taking into account the current behavioral patterns of Kimyra and the presence of Hugue.

No matter where you go through, there's absolutely no safe place.

That's why I carefully choose a place where death is unlikely.

It's too late for the night.

Milkit was awake by force, but Flam put him to sleep on the way.

By the end of the discussion, the dates had changed so much that the evacuees in the room were almost asleep.

The flams will also sleep soon in preparation for tomorrow and nourish their English.

The next morning, when he woke up, Henriette, Otilier and Hellman left to tell him the plan.

Werner is the only one left to escort.

◇ ◇ ◇

Until after noon, Fram and Milkitt spent some time playing with Halom.

I was worried about the injury, but she just runs around saying it had nothing to do with that.

Instead, the intact flam seemed to wiggle better, and the other refugees were energized by the way it was.

As lunch rations approach, Werner approaches the flam.

Honestly, Flam isn't very good at him.

Because the “cloudy eyes” I felt when I first saw them still haven't changed.

Well, he's a man in the upper echelons of the military, and it's not strange that he has a strong appetite for birth - I sincerely think that at times like this, I wish I could hide that guillant desire.

Or do you rather think that now, when we are caught in a disaster, is the time to make a deal?

"Hey Flam. I need to talk to you for a second. Can I have you come over here?

A flam that leaves the room as it is guided, though muddled by the familiar way of calling it.

Apparently there's nothing else I can say about it, and Milkit was told to leave it.

That made an even worse impression.

In this situation, what the hell is the story you have to hide from someone else now?

In other words, if you want to talk to Flam, there should be no inconvenience in having Milkit ask you something like one heart.

"Isn't that a good place to be right out of the room? I can't believe we need to get this close to the entrance and exit."

"I do, that's what I do."

He laughed niggardly and looked at the entrance and exit that he could not pass without crawling on all fours of the example.

But what was there was a hole big enough for people to go through at their leisure.

In fact, someone had already broken inside out of that hole.

From behind, the blurry lights that plug in from the outside illuminate, so he doesn't look well.

The only thing I can tell from the silhouette is that one is a small woman and the other is a big man.

"Ah......!

Look at the shape of a man's hair, the sword he carried, the coat he wraps around - the look on Flam's face shines.

And then she called the name of a certain person and ran over to him.

"Mr. Gadio!

I thought I'd never see you again.

There's also Keraina and Halom here, and they're eager to see each other again.

I want you to look at me as soon as possible - I thought so and approached you right next to me and looked up.

Bujru.

A red Shizukuishi fell from the vortex wet the ground with a becca.

How many times should Flam be heartbroken by this mess?

"Liar......"

I can easily imagine the history.

Whatever the outcome of the battle against Echidona, Gadio lost his life in the king's capital.

And Maria, next door, gave the corpse a core.

It is the principle of necromancy.

Resurrected as Origin's doll, he came here, as a puppet.

There's only one reason.

To end it.

The battle of the Flam.

A chain of miracles that have been so desperately connected.

Ruthlessly crushed and cut off, to offer to Origin - reach for it, grab its chest and lift its body.

"Ugh... ahhh... how could this happen... Mr. Gadio, Gadio!

Flam repeated his name, spreading his body.

Of course I can't reach my voice.

Werner approached Maria when he looked at her and laughed naughtily.

"Look, yummy fulfilled her promise. Now you're gonna get a core, right?

"Yeah, I'll use it, whatever you want"

That said, Maria gave Werner a black swirling crystal inside.

He smiles contentedly and once nostalgic.

"Well, do whatever you want with the rest. For now, let's evacuate outside."

"Werner... you called, here, take Maria. Ooh!

"Oh, scary scary scary. Come on, it's a long-running doctrine. By and large, look at this miserable situation. You think you can beat the god who caused this? I can't, can I? Then follow the strong one and gain strong power, this will be the wisdom!

Werner slaps his temples with his index finger and provokes the flam.

I mean, her first impression wasn't wrong.

His eyes, his heart, have always been cloudy.

"Come on, let's go, Mr. Flamm. Master Origin is waiting."

"Maria... you're Mr. Gadio!

"Are you finally calling it off, sad? But I can't help it. Because I gave Mr. Echidna and Mr. Hugh the core, and I killed Mr. Linus."

"Killed Mr. Linus...?

"Yes, it was a very serious way to die, believing in me until the end."

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh you!

"It's no use wasting it. Mr. Gadio, shall we go?"

The flam remained grabbed and was taken out by Gadio without the art of exchange.

And he throws the flam down to the ground.

Then, immediately, the magic of Maria's light restrained her limbs and pulled her away from the shelter as she floated in space.

"If you don't have the distance, you're in danger."

"Let go, let go. Yeah!

"If you don't calm down, you won't get a good look. I need to take a good look at you because you're the last person I care about."

"Important, people......? At last......?

Flam looked at the ruins, which were completely distant.

Gadio pulls out a different red sword than what he used to use, facing a widened hole.

Of course, there are still Milkits ahead of us.

"No way...... wait, why not!? If you took me away, wouldn't that be all right!?

"Master Origin wants it."

"Don't be ridiculous! You're supposed to be forgiven for that. No, you can't be forgiven!

"But I can't stop you, because you don't have the strength"

Gadio waves up his sword silently.

A large amount of plana caged in the blade enough to distort the surrounding scenery also looked like a flam.

He adds even more strength in the way he hasn't heard her sad screams or anything.

"Stop, Mr. Gadio! Please, don't. Yeah, yeah, yeah!

As Flam's voice triggered - Gadio waved his sword down.

A storm of plana is unleashed, destroying what is touched.

The hill itself, where the ruins were buried, is crushed by the Keizen Storm (Plana Storm).

Without having to check, its interior - the space where the mill kits are located - the ceiling will collapse and everyone will lose their lives.

"Ahhh... ahhh..."

Flam could no longer speak but a plundered voice.

Of course losing Milkit, the fact that it was Gadio who did it shatters her heart.

"... ahhh..."

And when despair exceeded the allowable amount, he plumpedly lost consciousness so that the power would go off.

Gadio's accomplishment, looking back, stares at her slowly powerless.

"Finally, you're done"

Maria looks up at the blue sky. Crushing, she turns towards the ruins at the end.

I can hear the water.

Aside from whether it was right at all - 'In the end, I remain sweet,' she mocked herself.
