I remember the first time I met Dick and the first time I fought a monster.

When I came to the village near the border to crush the Demon King, a "long" appeared to lead the herd among the B ranked monsters and became noisy. In a small village, there were no adventurers above B rank in the guild, and people were scared that monsters might break into the village and hid in the house tightly.

We must hurry our journey. But as Dick said, we were asked to help the village and we started working as adventurers for the first time.

We are said to be "adventurers," but it is because we measured the strength of the adventurer and were chosen by the Demon King Crusaders. In fact, I'm an amateur as an adventurer, and I don't even have the feeling of partying. It's bad for people in the village to do a little research, but the best B ranked monsters are just right for us now. "

We received no training and were chosen as Demon King Crusaders because of their high strength as indicators. I think the kingdom was so hunted down, but the good adults were not praised for their extenuating circumstances.

Are we going to measure our strength?

Ah, well, including me. I'm not going to doubt that Miralka is the Kingdom's most powerful wizard, but strength can take many forms. I wonder if I'm strong when I take on fewer enemies, or strong in siege fights. "

He still has a good reason to convince us, but he doesn't speak the truth behind it.

Dick looked at his people much better than we did. How healthy you are, what character you are, what you like or dislike - food and drink preferences. With all that information in mind, we never thought 'Dick doesn't understand' except when he dared.

Suggesting to take the carriage back and forth, advising me and Yuma to turn it into shoes suitable for walking - I wore rough hair, preferred plain black clothing, and initially I just thought it would be better to dress up more, so I couldn't honestly hear Dick. He didn't like me like that, but he was still patient and laughed back at my poisonous tongue.

I haven't told Dick directly, but I think his thorough humility has reached the realm of aesthetics. Hiding your eyes to hide your sharp observation eyes, and wearing plain clothes don't make you think you're someone to watch out for - you prefer the back job to the glamorous stage, and you have the guts to do it quietly for any miscellaneous use.

Perhaps he has no intention of doing so. He seems to think that hiding his abilities is for a purpose, but I don't think that his dedication to thoroughness can be imitated the more he sees it, and why is he so surprised.

Me, Cody, Eileen and Yuma were so stunned that it turned into an admiration that they trusted him.

--A rare genius who was hiding away from the world. I wonder how miraculous it is for him to leave his hometown and come to King's Landing.

And I always think about it. To reassure people in the village who are afraid of monsters, to think of ways to eliminate harm other than destroying monsters, and to finish "work" with a convincing reward for him. We must be able to realize such an idea at the same level of ambition.

Even if you remember his sense of peace of mind protected by his magic, you can't rely on it. That's what I've been thinking since I first fought with Dick.

(... I wonder if this would make my chest feel a little easier if I could say everything I think of.)

Verlaine and Rimsellitt gave me instructions, and it was only a short time before I left. I came to see Dick and remembered the old days.

I saw Dick taking a nap on the way. Cody in the same room said he was diligent enough not to know when he was asleep, but the answer was simple. He used his healing magic to live a life where he could sleep an hour a day - and he said he had to sleep on a tree, not on a bed.

I saw Dick sleeping on his bed more often than not, despite the circumstances. I'm still sleeping peacefully, but my breathing interval is so long that I'm worried, I'm going to put my hand on my chest to make sure my heart is beating properly.

A little bit - when he fell, he went into a magic circle. When I tried to touch it with that thought, I heard footsteps walking down the hallway, and I had no choice but to pull my hand back.

"Miralka, it's time to start the operation. Did you say hello to Dick?

"Yes, you can even sneak up on me, Eileen."

"Ahahah... there's something about Miralka that I noticed. If nobody was around, I was just wondering if you could split up a little bit."

Eileen doesn't really hide her feelings for Dick. I feel a little pain in my chest when I'm happy to be friends with it, but I can't stay with it.

I wondered if Miralka was the same. Dick says it's good to just watch you sleep, right?

"That doesn't suit me. It would suit Yuma and Shelly."

"Miralka, one way or another, wants to lay Dick on his ass."

"Yes, I'd like to say that I can always use it if you want to be a chair... Nowadays, there's no gap, and it's hard to argue."

If Eileen is going to do that, I think I have to be honest with her. It's fun to see Dick listening to me with a selfish face, and I say irrational things, but I don't really think he has a problem.

"Mei believed in Dick, so she followed the plan. How far is Dick going to go?

"... because I rely too much on him for all of it. It's our job to keep Dick's imagination intact."

"I was wondering what would happen in the meantime if I was taken hostage... but thanks to the hard work of Dick and the others, I could fight without worrying."

The Sphere who succeeded us did a great job - I'm glad to hear it, and I want to hug him when he gets back.

But at the same time. I think that we are the mother to do more than Sphere played.

"I have to work hard, Mother. Don't lose to Sphere."

"Yes. It's time for the enemy forces to start moving… let's move as well."

When Eileen and I went up to the rooftop of the castle, Mr Rimserit sat on the banning and waited for us. Yuma was already behind it and waved at us.

"Ver and Mea are acting differently, and Cody has already left. General Shade is forming a dramatic formation on the plains, but Yuma and Miralka must avoid hitting each other with their help. Eileen and I will stop if there is a chance that you will advance to our martial arts. Ready?"

"Yes, I understand!

"Yes, I understand."

"Got it!!

In response to each of them, I had Eileen lift my leg and ride on the back of the dragon, and Eileen jumped high into the back of me.

"Fuah, Miralka's hair smells so good... Dick can't handle Miralka's back."

When riding with two people, Dick supports me from behind - but I've never heard Eileen say it, so I think Dick is either separated from work at work or I don't have any interest in the opposite sex.

"Miralka knows that's not true. Because being gentle is not the same as being too reluctant. I have to stay the way I've always been, Miralka."

"... I didn't intend to learn anything but magic as a form of democracy. If you're going to read your mind without mental defense, I'd like a magic tool for countermeasures."

"You don't have to tell onee-san..." Ah, do you want Yuma and Irene too? I'll make it for you when I get back to King's Landing. "

"No, I... I see the color of Dick's soul, so I don't think it's fair to show it to my soul either. But Dick can't even read his mind....."

I wonder if Master taught me such a thing. Dick, you can do it, but you don't dare to do it. "

Think of what Rimserit can do, and what Dick can do. That means that I was mistaken about Eileen and Dick, and Dick saw it - and that made my chest sore and painful.

But I don't think Dick would lie to hurt anyone. Looking at my mind, you still pretend to know nothing, and you're not good at acting like that.

"Dee, you're right. Try to be as reciprocal and fair as possible. He thinks he's licking his opponent because he doesn't mean it from the beginning."

"... Dick can't really beat his opponent unless he gets angry. I don't think I'm licking it like that."

"You said you were going to do the real thing from the beginning."

The difference between Dick and me - it means I give top priority to the way they break their hearts. When the distance is filled, the fragile wizard takes his life.

Dick never blamed me for not condoning his enemies.

On the contrary, it depends on my strength. Otherwise, I wouldn't have fought like this, but I would have moved to a desert where there was no one else to experiment with magic.

All five Demon King Crusaders are the same. You have too much power to get inside people. I didn't stop looking for someone I could empathize with from the bottom of my heart.

"I wanted to take on the unforgiving part of Dee's life instead of you. But... that's what we're all prepared for. I'm only alive for a long time, not for everyone....."

"I don't think I've ever heard a weak voice like that. You're still trying to get rid of a dragon I'm not good at. I can't beat Sphere and your omnipotence, but we have a role to play only for ourselves. It's called a party."

"I only care about my physical strength, but I'm not going to lose to anyone else. We must always try to stay out of Dick's party."

"I feel the same way. I was really impressed that Dick didn't forget about me... because I thought a child like me could only be needed while on a journey of demon king crusade."

Two words that can be said to be exotic, eccentric. We always feel the same and feel a much stronger connection than before.

Sometimes Mr Rimserit still feels closer to Dick than we do. But as we fight together, the distance will change.

"It's about time... that Cody got pretty close to the enemy. Everybody ready?

Mr. Rimserit takes out the mask. Each color is different, but we also wear masks - it's not a good idea to fight knowing that we're Albain's adventurers.

Mr Rimserit pulls the banning string. Spread our wings, fly up - and before we begin to accelerate, our bodies are wrapped in boundaries that prevent the wind. At the same time, don't forget to cast the magic of "Hiding" to make it invisible to your enemies.

She uses multiple magic without chanting to breathe. This is Dick's master - and then Dick, the one who influenced Sphere a lot.

"I thought I couldn't help being left alone. The truth is, Dee, I knew I shouldn't show up in front of you...."

Mr Rimserit is looking forward and can't see his expression.

However, Yuma, who was touching Mr. Rimserit, was telling us her "color of soul".

"But, Dee, you forgave me like that... much more than before..."

As Banning crosses the forest, allied soldiers on the spreading plains raise their voices.

What Verlaine and Mermaire asked General Shade to do was to show that the soldiers of the National Army had surrendered to us when they captured Rugenta Castle - that is, if they were standing as far away from the enemy as they could see, that would be good and that they should not be approached.

(Dick predicted the enemy would use the Spirit of Earth magic to build the bridge... but I'm sure I'm the only one who can stop it.)

"You said there were 8,000 enemy troops... aren't there any more?

"Dee, you're right. A general named" Volkswagen of Clay "joined us with a few soldiers. Look, it's coming out front to use magic."

That's what Rimseritt says, but he also gives us the magic to enhance our vision. At the same height as the clouds, I can see a general named Volkswagen and his horses and infantry in formation to protect him.

"Ahh, you're a rough body like Golem. I wonder if there are people of that kind.

"I suppose you're familiar with the Clay Spirit... Eileen, if it's difficult on your own, I'll support you."

"Yeah, if it's just hard, it's not my enemy. The only thing I don't like is the slime that absorbs the blow... just remembering it makes me chilly..."

"Eileen, I don't think it's a problem because I don't think Slime has any enemies. I won't let anyone else get in the way."

Yuma's words already have a twist - but this child must not be aware of it.

She never breaks her promise. Because it follows the commandment that you should never lose faith in God.

"They will never cross that river. God of Albain doesn't want to hurt his people any more."

Before Yuma is ready to sing, I'll just serve. I don't think it's too much to be serious in front of an inferior S-ranked Spirit Wizard, but I don't feel pitiful.

"--Spirit of the earth! Respond to my voice and make a path through the dust!

The chanting of a bold Volkswagen resonates. When the nearby spirits respond to the voice, the soil of the riverbank rises and tries to form a bridge while looking. Just to give the army at once, it seems to be strong enough to withstand about 300 people crossing at the same time.

I am also convinced by the two names Folks of the earth mass. However, the bridge that raised the ground and was erected like an arch stops snugly before reaching the opposite shore.

"When it was finished, it would have been a fine bridge. I can't see it."

― ― Wide-area extinction type 118 Crushed ground rock wind and sand formation ― ―

The "127-type Ground Crushing Rock Extinguishing Faction" erases the raised ground as its name suggests. Doing so leaves behind the battle damage - along the river is a deposit of fertile soil carried upstream, so if it is extensively extinguished, the loss is enormous.

The formation considered as a form of development is one that collapses into sand but does not extinguish it. The riverbank becomes sandy, but there is less loss than breaking down to particles.

"How fast is Miralka weaving the technique in her head...?

"Wow... the earthen bridge is sandy and pushed back to where it belongs. Doesn't General Volckers like you?

"I've been calling on the nearby spirits to rebuild the bridge... but it looks like there's a lot of water spirits around here."

Yuma can even see the wavelength of the Spirit Soul. If that's what she says, the enemy won't be able to bridge the bridge if she doesn't hurry anymore.

Wow, Yuma takes a breath. Then the song dedicated to Albain's gods begins and pours down from above the dazed enemy soldiers.

"Come on, you guys... what are you doing?! Drop your weapon in front of the enemy... What is this... song... where do you hear it...!?

Folks can't do anything about the soldiers who abandon the weapons in their hands. The soldiers stop weaponizing and all pray to the sky - the despair of the commander who saw this is not hard to imagine.

"Well... I can't let you two do your job...!

Eileen jumps off the back of the banning - for her, getting off this altitude toward the ground is nothing to fear.

"― Airflow barrier (windscreen) !

Rimserit uses magic to protect his ears from atmospheric pressure changes. They don't increase their attack power - it's all over in an instant.

Eileen, who was wrapped in the fighting spirit of the demons, fell like a red meteor, aiming only at the riding Volkswagen - while adjusting the orbit by doing the incredible thing of "kicking the air" along the way. It was an odd trick that Dick occasionally showed using the scaffolding that Mr Rimserit had built to enhance the air.

"Haaah... 'Tianjianzheng Round Legs'!

Spyrian martial arts have a common name for kicking from the sky. 'Tenjira' - This means an attack from the sky that disrupts the enemy's posture and defenses.

"" "Uhhhhhhh...!!

Along with Eileen's amazing leg force, the fighting spirit is thrown into the earth and there is an explosive tremor - around Eileen, the ground is broken in a wide circle, heavily equipped infantry blows up, and the horsemen fall without hesitation.

Volksy is a sarcastic one, trying to relieve vibrations by interfering with the earth's spirits. However, Eileen was already moving from the landing, and the kick she made as she jumped into the back of Folks' head and reaped her consciousness.

"Gah... ahh..."

"It's called" Luo Shake Moon Kick ", but you can't hear it anymore. Does anyone still want to call? I don't care."

"Hih, hih..."

"Here, this woman... the demon clan... the demon with red hair...!

"It's not red, it's peach. I'm sure our family is closer to here. Dad would say no, and I think so too."

Some demons belong to the demon race, but it is recognized as unconnected in Albain. Eileen's home village has long had agreements for coexistence with the Kingdom.

I was born with the talent to stand at the top of the demon race even though it draws half the blood of the people. It destroyed Eileen - Folks and his troops in an instant, and his breath was not disturbed at all.

The sight of three hundred soldiers being driven out of combat with a single blow. And he speculated that the destruction of the bridge that was supposed to cross the river might cause the National Army to retreat - but the 8,000 soldiers who formed the formation did not show signs of retreat, just because they were only partially lacking.

"General Glasgow won't let us go easily."

Mr Rimserit murmured. Suddenly, six giant beasts appeared to support the formed national army - the beast, it seems, summoned by someone, became a deterrent in the name of fear, sealing the withdrawal of the soldiers.

"Those beasts are going to serve as scaffolding for the enemy when they get into the water without building bridges. I think I can handle it from the air... Miralka, Yuma, will you cover me?

"Yes, the soldiers will have no choice but to flee once they disarm… but we can't destroy 8,000 pieces of equipment at once. Call on Yuma to withdraw as much as possible."

"Some of you are Death Spirits, so I will also invalidate your summons. In the meantime, I'm sure Cody will be able to do her part."

Yes - Cody is acting differently from us to target enemy commanders.

If we knew we were in Rugenta Castle and decided to attack again, it would be that the National Army was ordered to do so by the right people. Leon or Lugard - or the Commander-in-Chief of the enemy.

"If Cody ever hits Leon like that... yeah, Cody, anyone's gonna be fine."

Dick values Cody as his best friend. We know that well by watching.

I don't think such a dick would let Cody walk the path of fighting his brother. Even if Cody himself didn't hesitate to do it.

"In any case, Cody is a pretty strong fighter... but if the leader behind us is Dick, Cody is the leader on the front. Whoever you're dealing with will never lose."

"Yes, but, God... forgive me for offering my prayers. Don't bring victory to our loved ones."

In Yuma's prayers, Eileen was accustomed to performing preparatory exercises in front of the 8,000 soldiers who were advancing on earth.

"Unfortunately, we can't stop in a few minutes...!

Eileen ran away. Break up the enemy formation and target only the massive monster summoned - perhaps the 'Mixed Beast'.

Mr Rimseritt strengthens Eileen by applying multiple enhancement magic. But when she looked at Dick's work, she didn't even think it was enough - she knew well that her disciples were crossing the master.

"Let's go, Miralka, Yuma. I'll show you how to fight from the sky!

Mr. Rimserit pulls out his sword and puts his magic together. In response to her voice, Banning prepares to release a breath (brace) toward the ground - something like this moving fortress is attacking from the sky, and the hearts of the soldiers who cannot escape are pitiful to me.

The result of the battle would have been visible if the magical destruction of my team's equipment and the song that robbed Yuma of her warfare had fallen there.

(Cody, too, but Princess Verlaine and Princess Mermaire are worried... but that's how you instructed them, Dick. I have to protect you.)

Braiding my team and putting as many enemy soldiers in range as I could, I thought to both of them that I would be following Dick's instructions.
