Hyaku Ma No Aruji

Melea and Mira's ears capture Lilium's voice at the same time.

Mutual time stopped.

You're not here?

In a second voice, Melea returns to me.

Mira still wouldn't let go of her hand, but she inclined her consciousness to how she should take it off the status quo.

That's when it happened.

"Huh."

"Explosion Sound".

Those who were in Aeoth that day only heard the explosion that came with the shock from the north.

"What!? What!?"

Lilium raises a voice outside the room like a surprise.

By then, already, Merea had shaken Mira's hand off the bed.

"Mira."

Merea's face turning towards Mira by correcting the clothes disturbance doesn't have the same look of panic that she had already had until just now.

There stood one 'Lord'.

……

I guess I would say this by nature.

Mira thought.

No longer does any fancy trick work for Melea today.

Melea when this happens, she no longer returns to a normal man.

Melea remains a strict 'Hero of the Demon King', transcending even gender.

"- Come on in, Melea."

Mira said with a slight bitter smile with her breasts hidden with her hands.

"I'm leaving Marisa and the Servis behind. Don't move until you're safe."

I knew it.

This is how Merea always worries about herself.

Because you know you're a person who doesn't have defense.

But that's not my concern as a man.

I'm worried about being one of them.

- What, greedy.

Saying so, Mira felt a tingling pain in her heart.

"Melea, be careful, too"

"Yeah."

Melea opens the door to the room.

Lilium was seen standing in the hallway from the gap.

"What were you doing?

'Kind of. Mira says there's a bug in the room.'

"Bugs? I don't think that witch freaks out when she's bug--"

I can hear Lilium's surprise from the outside.

"Mira is that one, and some of them are surprisingly cute."

"Hmm."

So, does Lilium have any information about the explosion sound?

"If I had it, I'd be talking to you."

'That's right. I'm gonna go check on him, but what do we do?

'I'm coming. If you do anything abrupt, you need to tell Marisa and the others on this side. You're gonna leave it, aren't you?

'Yeah. I don't need to bother taking the Miras to the vortex of commotion. I think we should leave Marisa and Servis as escorts and let them act as a safety priority.'

"Yeah, I think so too."

"Well, let's go"

I heard the two of them walking down the hall.

Mira makes sure she can no longer hear the sound.

And

"Goodbye, Melea"

She disappeared from the window of the room before anyone noticed.

◆ ◆ ◆

It wasn't long before Melea and Lillium left the inn that I heard the second explosion.

The explosion is followed by a scream of people wearing their ears.

The sound of the building collapsing.

There was a mix of bursts that broke the minerals.

"North... in a dense direction."

Merea crushed around stepping into the Blue Rose compartment.

"Right. But every building is still safe. Maybe something's going on around the north gate of Aios, a little sideways from there."

"An external raid?

"If it was inside, I'd go straight for school. Because the core of Iaus is the materials that are in each school and the students that gather there. If you stop the school from functioning, it's easy to occupy Aios."

Aios does not have an army.

However, it has the potential defense of 'school'.

The students in each school are still young, but often each has specific abilities or is an egg of a good magician.

It will be possible for them to resist those who seek to break that order for the sake of freedom of learning.

So if anyone tries to be hostile to Aeos and that person was already able to infiltrate the inside, then go straight for the school.

"Someone who could have attacked us from the outside."

Melea immediately thinks of Mooseg.

Acacia's story is that they're already infiltrated inside, but that doesn't mean they don't attack from the outside.

Rather, it could cause a decisive blow from within, after adding an external attack and keeping it out of consciousness.

"Lilium, once we see the disturbance, we'll go back to the inn."

"Well, maybe you should."

Lilium also follows Merea's thinking.

I guess I was thinking the same thing.

After running for a while, I finally saw soot smoke rising into the sky again in the sight of both of them.

Just around the north gate of Ioath. I hear Lilium's predictions were met.

We can't see near the key gates because of the earthly smoke, but we know that the surrounding buildings are collapsing.

"Lilium, step back"

People look sparse.

Some have fallen, but not many.

Mostly after he escaped, I guess.

"You're not coming out..."

Soil smoke is stirred by the wind and gradually fades.

Merea and Lilium gazed.

"- Ah."

That was right after.

Merea's eyes discover something on the other side of the earth smoke.

And the moment I saw it, Melea...

"" The Black Dragon of St. Berceus "Radarood St. Berceus"!! "

It had activated the Great Art Ceremony of Kazan (Kazan).

◆ ◆ ◆

Merea was remembering what had happened in the art city of Virgilia.

On the night of the escape play, when the moonlight was descending, Merea met a certain figure.

Necroa-Belzerut.

Descendants of the oldest demon kings who use the Necro Fantasm ceremony to kill the souls of the dead.

The man was grinning creepily.

He glanced at the purple eyes from the silver long haired gap and laughed as he enjoyed seeing the chaos of the world.

- Celester.

Next to that man stood the man who once raised himself.

For eyes engraved with lightning-shaped surgical tattoos, a raucous light.

I didn't react when I saw about myself.

Melea remembers being furious when she saw him.

A man named Necroa would bind the souls of the dead who called him.

And now Merea reunites with one more, the former English Spirit.

There's no way I can see it.

The man was an English spirit who exchanged as many words as Flander.

Maybe Merea used the Black Dragon of St. Berceus reflexively because her body reacted to his appearance like that.

Merea held a groan and anger in her arms.

And...

◆ ◆ ◆

Merea waved down her raised hand in heaven.

In an instant, the Black Dragon of St. Berceus flies to the North Gate, where the earth smoke rises to follow its swing.

The jaw (after) was opened.

And from the other side of the cigarette...

"Black, dragon -"

Lilium tweezers.

Another black dragon was flying with his big mouth open.

"Lilium! Get down!!"

Lilium was stunned by the sight, unable to move.

Melea, who finished shooting the procedure there, comes and covers it to protect Lilium.

I could see two black dragons hitting each other from the front as if they were going to eat each other in the sight of a dying lililium.

"Ahh."

Co-eating.

Lilium learns not to cut to the sight.

My body shivered for some reason.

The warmth of Melea, who embraces me to protect myself, is the only thing that eases that uncut.

Still, Lilium knew.

Perhaps this Merea is the one who remembers the hang-up more than anyone else right now.

So Lilium embraced Merea's body in reverse as she fell.

Now I was aware, along with a glimmer of fear, that I was the only one who could protect his heart.

And everything crushes.

Aeos was exposed to clear violence that day.

Blown building.

Burst air.

From the other side...

◆ ◆ ◆

"Hey, Melea. How have you been?

◆ ◆ ◆

I heard someone crystal clear.
