Once, I returned to Seras and the others.

Selas, who recognized me, rushed in.

However,

Safe and sound.

On the way, Serras stopped - the speed of his rush increased.

"Are you hurt!?

Sleigh rushed over.

Nyaki is bluishing.

"Rest assured. It's not my blood."

That's what I said, Serus, who came to me and stroked his chest down.

She regained her calm and asked.

"Did you defeat the sword of valor?

"Just the two of us who followed Nyaki. They didn't follow us."

"Surprised at the edge of my vision."

"I'm sure all the brave swords besides Luin and Satsuki are strong... who are you?"

No, I haven't introduced myself yet.

Toads were approaching earlier and there was no time.

After meeting Nyaki, neither I nor Serras said each other's names.

It's...

"I'm sorry, but at my discretion, I discovered my identity while I waited for you."

Seras said, ready to be blamed.

"To be trusted, I thought I should tell the truth from the beginning... above all..."

Selas gets smaller after seeing Nyaki.

"Nyaki is too pure to give false information.... I'm sorry."

While saying that, he gave little information about my personality.

I feel competent around here.

"Well, there's no big problem if you fall apart from the other guy here. And well....."

Me, too.

”It's hard to lie before the purity of nyaki.”

"... honestly, I don't even know how that feels."

That's why I usually revealed my real name.

"Can I call you Mr. Toka?"

"Nyaki's easy to call way is fine. And this guy...."

Open the collar slightly and peek into the robe.

"Introduce yourself."

"Puyun"

A pigeon circle that descends from the inside of a robe to the ground.

Nyaki rounded his eyes.

Mr Slime

"Pigi Maru."

Pip?

Piggy round to check with me.

Is this kid one of us?

It feels like.

When he nodded back, the pigeon circle protruded into the yaki.

"Puyu"

"I'm going to shake hands. Give me a light grip."

"With a slightly stunned face, I gently grip the protrusion."

"Nyah, it's Nyaki."

I'm still strong...

I'm getting a little nervous from Nyaki's expression.

That's a good trend.

"And this is Slay."

"Pacu ~"

"Hmm!?

Sleigh's cheeks slipped.

Somehow.

I feel like I'm feeling energized.

"Nyah, I'll say Nyak"

"Pacu"

It was then.

Nyaki moved, shuffled.

As he sat down, Nyaki fell short and lowered his head.

"Thank you very much for saving my life this time... Mr. Toka, Mr. Selas, Mr. Pigimaru, Mr. Slay - I'll never forget this." "At the same time, I'm really sorry for the inconvenience." I'm sorry...!

Nyaki raised her face.

"Please hurry and get out of here!" "Nyaki will rest here for a while before heading there as planned!"

"Point at the depths of the demon band."

... I see.

Nyaki.

It's not like we're supposed to protect you from here.

"...... Nyaki"

Ha, yes.

Are you still saying that?

"Hmm?

"Unless you don't like it...."

I'll give you my hand.

Stay with us.

"Fu, fuhhhh...!?

"If you don't like it, stay with me until you're safe. That's what I was going to do, so I went out of my way to introduce myself."

For a while, Nyaki was drooling.

It seems that my understanding has not kept pace with my words. [M]

Eventually, understanding showed a reaction that caught up.

"- No, no!" If YAKI were with you, I'm sure it would be even more inconvenient! "" It seems that the beast of God is still an absolute necessity for the swordsmen of valor! "That's why... I'll definitely follow you! And... if I knew your people were killed, what would happen to Toka-san..."

Nyaki also burst into tears.

But I smiled.

"Even in this short time, I know that the Toka people are really good people... that's why I definitely don't want you to have a bad time... if you can't see them anymore... finally, I'm so happy to meet these kind people..."

Death after being caught by the sword of valor.

Death after being found by a monster.

Nyaki is ready to die.

"Thank you, everyone."

Nyaki laughed and cried.

"Even in a short time... it's been a long time since I've felt warm."

I sigh.

"Nyaki, you... I think you've been mistaken for a while."

"Hmm....?

"You said that the two strongest swords of valor wanted to challenge the" strongest of mankind ”...

"Ha, yes."

"The most powerful man in the world is dead. I'm the one who killed him."

"Nhh!?

"It's true, sir."

Seras will supplement it.

"As a matter of fact, I was about to be killed by Civito Gatland, the" mightiest man "... and saved by this Toca lord."

Nyaki looks up at me with tears in her face.

"And Mr. Toka... is he the one who defeated that” most powerful human being "?!?

Sort of.

It's not a frontal attack, it's a deception.

Well, there's no difference in "knocked down” as a form.

That's why you don't have to run.

Nyaki fell asleep.

There seemed to be a lot of confusion.

I can imagine.

Throughout this period - this time, I'm sorry for the sword of valor.

It turns out I'm stronger.

Suddenly, there was sympathy for the sword of valor, who was almost certain to be killed from now on.

Perhaps in Nyaki's outlook on life.

If no one has to die, that's better.

Whoever it is, it is better to have fewer dead.

I'm sure that's what Nyaki thinks now.

I want to run away like this.

and.

We can't go to the end of the country without the pivotal pigeon.

Then the sword of valor cannot kill the inhabitants of the country.

If we run away like this, no one else dies.

But the sword of valor is a secret unit owned by the goddess Visis.

There's no way you won't stand in front of me in the future.

If you're going to crash somewhere, you should crush it now.

... or not.

The more you can see what you've done to the Speedo and the Nyaki,

I'm not an adult.

"Sorry, Nyaki."

Turning back to the direction where the swords of valor would be.

"The more I let go of the brave swordsmen... I can't make humans. I can't be as kind as you."

Nyaki raised her face.

"Mr. Toka...."

Weak voice.

In fact, Nyaki is weak.

As long as we hear the story from Nyaki, there's no one we can save.

No one was able to be kind to him.

But Nyaki is kind even to the people who caused it.

Such kindness hurts my heart so much.

"I just want your kindness to continue to be important. I'm sure someone will be saved by that kindness."

Call the pigeon circle with your finger movements and hold it in the robe.

This time, I'll take Slay with me.

"Selas, I'll keep you in charge. There are seven more over there. I can also think of a pattern of scattering and conducting extensive searches."

"You mean you might get spilled?

"Ah, then it was your sword that protected Nyaki - the sword that the mightiest blood fighter was known to have a different talent."

"- Leave it to me. I will do everything I can to help you fight without worrying about anything extra."

"Please... let's go, Slay"

Sleigh follows me as I walk out.

A sign of evening before long.

The sky told me that.

Darkness is our time.

The sword of valor.

In fact, if we play straight in front of each other in the frontal attack method, they may be up there.

Civito didn't put a sword of bravery in the name of the opponent he wanted to fight.

But there was little information coming out of it.

At least, it's not known to the public like Civito.

It could be an unknown opponent.

But what we know for sure is that

He has the power to make humane species decide to escape.

I can't deny all this.

First of all, I probably can't compete with a human species if I'm a straightforward fighter.

I don't think it's a good opponent to hang on to.

- But still...

Just ”kill” doesn't seem satisfactory.

…………

Speed tribe.

Eve's parents.

Eve told me about the days I spent with them.

They were good people.

Really.

Especially Eve's parents.

The more you listen... the more similar it is.

It's like an uncle and his wife.

"... did you” have fun killing it "?"

Don't stop walking, wear the fly king's mask.

If that's the case, I enjoyed it.

"Don't think you'll die easy."

To be called cruel.

To be scolded for being an asshole.

In the future,

--------------------------- There is no mercy.
