"Take Lulu... take him...?

"Oh, as the same otherworldly... I'll stop you from doing your job"

You're kidding me, you hungry bastard.

Lulu is my family, and it's not like you can rip it off. I know slavery is unacceptable to you, but I don't know that. If you shake your selfish sense of righteousness and grieve others, isn't it the end of the line?

What a brave man.

"I'm not going to take that fight."

No, you can't say no.

"... what does that mean?

I tried to turn down the duel, and now my witch clothes girlfriend came pinching my mouth.

When people say that in a slightly irritating place, they get a thin laugh and ask back, although there is only a little something that comes to their head, without even putting it out to the billiontail. Smiles are a good word for the biggest poker face, aren't they?

Then she answered pale clerically.

"Strength is everything in this country. I'll take it if they set up a battle for it, that's the implicit decision… if they don't take it, it's considered a defeat. And in case of defeat, according to the laws of this country, the winner can take all of the losers... well, not all of them can take their lives or their minimum human rights."

I mean, if I run away from this battle, they'll take Lulu without question... and if I take the battle and lose, I'll take Lulu. Well, that's a convenient rule for today's brave men.

"And dueling is by rule - no intervention by anyone but the person in question is allowed"

It is unreasonable that there should be an unfavourable battle between me and the brave... and even more so here. I've come to a hell of a place, but I can't get a clue, and on the contrary, they're trying to rob me of my family.

You're gonna imitate me for a long time.

"Huh...!?

Naturally, "Spooky Physique" was activated.

The brave man takes a great distance from me and pulls out the sword he raised on his hips. They're already ready for battle.

If I have to take the battle, I'll get out of here somehow. You have no chance of winning, and if you take Lulu out of the country, the rules of this country won't apply.

Leila and the others who are watching us from the Alliance, although the distance is not that far away, it is harder to get there than the brave ones are stuck.

"... you won't stop the brave?

You can't say that to a witch. She probably knows I didn't abuse Lulu.

If you see Lulu's clothing and body free of scratches, and above all that her eyes light up properly unlike those slaves there, it will be obvious if she, unlike the brave ones, is accustomed to seeing slaves and such.

Yet I won't stop. Do you have any thoughts there, or are you just really unaware?

"… because it is my role to follow Master Nagi"

Apparently, the former.

If so, a great squire. I get revulsion.

"Well... you disqualified your squire."

"… 'Law Area (Field Rules)'"

She didn't respond very well to my words and said something.

Then a circle of light floats on the ground around her. And when it spread, and it grew large enough to surround me and the brave man, I felt that the air had changed from the inner circle to the outer.

"You apparently have a twisted personality, so it's insurance."

"Insurance?"

"What I have activated now is a kind of junction. For a short time... it's impossible to interfere with the inside even if you're the Demon King while it's active... of course, you can't go out from the inside... you won't let them escape, will you?

Apparently, you're mad at me for saying she disqualified her squire, and she's never gonna let me get away with it. I think it's also in the service of the squire to stop the Lord from thinking... he seems to be putting in quite a bit.

Nevertheless, isn't it absolutely deadly not to be able to escape? There's nothing we can do about these two. You won't be able to defeat the Demon King, not for this minute.

"But... pinch is pinch... I wonder what's going on..."

In front of you is the brave, the exit is blocked, and if you lose, your family is taken away. And I have no chance of winning.

"Shall we begin... tough seniors, an undisturbed battle?"

Apparently I can't even give you time to think.

◇ ◇ ◇

The orange noise and the battle was also seen by the finers on the outside of the ring. The orange sound of the confronting round hips and the sword pulled out. Winning or losing was obvious no matter how anyone saw it.

Not to mention the finers who know the power of orange noise. Because unlike the brave, he is a weak H-rank adventurer.

"Mr. Tight!

Finia flew away and tried to get inside the wheel. But I can't go from there to ahead as if I've been held back by some transparent wall. I wasn't scared to slap him.

If so, Finia tried to attack with fire magic, but I'm still not scared.

"What is this......! Mr. Tight!"

"Step aside, Finia."

"Become..."

"Eh."

Then Leila, who had been chasing after Finia, hit the wall with that fist. Her attack, or more importantly, a fairly all-powerful fist, is an S-ranked demon tribe.

But the walls didn't make any difference rather than being destroyed.

To that fact, Leila also gently rounds her eyes. And it seemed interesting to touch the wall, but she couldn't seem to overshadow the fact that she couldn't destroy it either.

"... here it is, you're stiff."

"Ugh... Mr. Tight...!

Finia expected a little from Leila, but her inability to destroy it means she's perfectly fine. Bite your teeth and see the orange noise inside the ring.

"Dear Finia......!

"Lulu... Leishe too..."

"Can't you go first from here...!?

"Yeah......"

They also bite their teeth knowing the fact that the rendezvous lululu and leachet, but can't get inside more than a ring. I somehow know the situation, the brave man challenged the orange noise to a duel and the witch refused that exit. And orange noise doesn't have the means to do something about it.

Originally, orange noise is the standing position that holds the finers together. It doesn't help, but it's a presence that holds them together, a wedge that holds two blades in the center of the scissors. When it comes to combat capability, you can't get fat at all.

"Dear Tight......!

That's what Lulu said as he prayed for orange noise to be safe, and everyone's gaze was directed into the circle.

Orange noise looked at the brave man who looked at himself with his sword in front of him and wondered what was going on inside him. Thanks to "Spooky Physique," the original orange noise is full of gaps, although apparently it hasn't stepped into the breadth. It's not strange whenever you step in.

Therefore, there is no viability in orange noise unless we can find a way to open it here.

But, but

"... I don't know what you're hiding... but it doesn't make sense"

That's what the brave man said, stepping in front of the orange noise.

- Fast!

At the same time that the orange noise thought so, his sword pierces the belly of the orange noise and penetrates his back.

"Ohhhhhhhh...!!?

So the orange noise is bewildered. To the speed of the brave, not. To the changes in my body.

Originally, orange sounds do not feel painful thanks to their 'pain disabling' skills. It's more pain resistant than that, but not now. There was severe pain running through the pierced abdomen.

Originally used to pain, so I never shouted that much, but still can't keep up with a completely different change of condition than before. I have no idea what this means.

"Gu... that sword...!

"No, this sword is just a straight sword"

"Ugh... Gah... ahhh...!!

Shirakuri, and the sword of the brave is pulled out of the body of orange noise, and the blood erupts in large quantities. And to the intense pain he felt, the orange noise got his knee to the ground. Keep your belly down and stare up at the brave. If you noticed, 'creepy physique' wasn't activated either.

The brave man standing in front of him looks down at such an orange noise and opens his mouth.

"I have inherent skills as a brave man. The effect is…" Disabling Enemy Activation Skills "

Orange sounds remind me of it. Inherent Skills of the Brave 'Light of Hope', Inherent Skills that disable all enemy skills and shut them all out, whether active or not. When this is active, no skill can be activated by any presence.

This means that neither the 'creepy physique' nor the 'pain nullification' of orange sounds will work at all.

"… Cheng Cheng, if the Demon King is also deactivated, then it is only physical battle, so if you are a brave man with twice the talent, you can win..."

I think orange noise. What a cowardly brave man, he said.

In other words, weaken the opponent and fight. I thought it was a cowardly, despicable, brave way of doing things.

"- In the end, to that extent, so did the brave."

Orange noise, the atmosphere changed.

Orange sounds, fluttering up and smiling thinly.

It didn't come with an arithmetic to win. Ning Lo, the situation of absolute desperation remains the same.

Still, the orange noise stood before the brave man as if he were the one who stood at the advantage, and pointed his index finger at the brave man with a thin laugh.

"Yours... where is the brave man?

I won't admit it. I won't admit it if you're the brave one. Even if heaven and earth repeat themselves, I won't admit you're the only brave one.

Orange noise thinks so and speaks out. Laugh with your nose, such as the strength of the brave (...) boy in front of you.

"What?

"Didn't you hear that? What are you, a brave man? You used a sword against me, sealed me up to the use of my prose skills to weaken me, and pierced my stomach relentlessly... you, the same thing you do with a sword sticking out at a baby who can't move in captivity, right?

"Become..."

The brave man made his anger caged in his eyes stronger in the words of orange noise.

And he was irritated by the orange noise of laughing at the blood that overflowed from his abdomen as nothing, and put a kick in from above his hand that suppressed the orange noise belly.

But the orange noise, blown away in the rear but not taking his feet off the ground, fluttered but managed not to fall.

"Oops... Oops...!

"I'm a brave man... I don't abuse little girls like you"

"Ha ha... that's what's wrong... don't you abuse little girls? So you're saying I can abuse you? I'm overwhelmingly weaker than you, I don't have a weapon, and I can't even use my quote skills to hurt just a boy high school student... is that why it's good?

"Huh... that!

"That's a contradiction, brave man."

To the words of orange noise, the brave can't say anything back. Words don't even come out to argue. Indeed, the orange noise is weak and I am hurting myself in a situation where I cannot resist. There are no absolutions to affirm it.

Then what is a brave man? If you just defeat your enemies, you don't have to be brave.

Orange noise had asked him that. He told me that you were just a weak bully, and that it wasn't justice.

"By and large... what are you going to do by taking Lulu away from me? You want me to accompany you on a journey to defeat the Demon King and put you in danger?

"That's... give me the money so I can live alone..."

"Yes. Say goodbye? Haha, there's a child who's been living as a slave... you can't live alone, you can't even take care of yourself until the end, but don't ruin someone's life with self-satisfaction."

"Huh... self, satisfaction...!?

The orange noise took a step toward the brave. Spraying blood makes the ground red and wet. But orange noise doesn't stop that leg. One step, one step and approaching the brave man, he approached a few centimeters away and looked up to peek into the face of the brave man with a thin laugh.

"You're self-satisfied, aren't you? You want to save the poor slave girl and say I look good, don't you? You want to turn away from what happens to the girl afterwards and say good things as a brave man? You want to be held up as amazing, don't you?

"Chi, no..."

"If you say no"

The orange noise blocks the words of the brave man and strips the bandage off his left eye.

"Huh...!?

Red and black, eyeless holes and orange sound eyes to the right, see the brave. The brave man breathed in his miserable left eye scar and was swallowed by the orange sounding air.

Your body trembles even though you should have disabled any activation of your skills. As if the 'creepy physique' was activated, he feared the orange noise.

"If you say no, let me save all the slaves that exist. I can't believe I saved just one person."

- It's not fair, is it?

That's what the orange noise says, laughs. The brave man felt a slight unpleasant sweat floating around his body.

"What's wrong with you? You must have been happy to be a brave man, huh? Everyone's been nice to me, and I guess I've become a completely different me than I've ever been, and a lot of people expect me to be, and I've just found an 'enemy' like me, haven't I? I won't let you tell me you didn't feel that way. Surely you wanted to help Lulu. I guess I couldn't allow the existence of slaves to be acknowledged. But still, you thought in the corner of your heart, 'If you take this guy down here, someone will compliment you.'"

Orange sounds fold. Twitching in the heart of a brave man, he pierces the thorns of his words and overwhelms his spirit.

Trying to get away from the orange noise, the brave man takes a step back. But orange noise doesn't let you get away with it one step further. I laugh as if I don't feel pain or anything at all, not even through a good amount of blood.

"No... no..."

"Your thoughts as a brave man at a time when your heart is shaking and you can't say it back clearly - I know what you've thought."

The moment the orange noise said so, the intolerable brave man backstepped loudly to distance himself from the orange noise. Now I couldn't keep up with the boulders, and there was a great distance between the orange noise and the brave.

Even though it didn't move much, the brave man was out of breath because he was mentally cornered. An unpleasant sweat conveys the body and shakes the mind. And if my heart swayed, my sword tip swayed naturally.

"Oops..."

and that's where the orange noise throws up blood. Though there has been no change in expression, the injuries have certainly made the brave understand that they are hunting down orange noises. That alone somewhat returns looseness to his heart.

And think. They're weak, and they don't have one element to lose. Whatever they say, it doesn't change that they are slaves. I certainly didn't think about the later or the justification for unilaterally hurting orange noise.

But that can still be considered later. That's how he escaped (...).

"You're right, but... if you don't save me here, I'm sure I'll regret who I am now!

"Haha... you got away, brave guys. Now you're being honest with me."

That's what orange sounds like and laughs.

But the brave are fleeing from thinking at the earliest.

"I won't be confused anymore!

"Damn... Boob...!

Kick the ground and jump the moment you're in time. And he kicked Orange Sound's body to the horizontal girdle with the momentum that jumped as it was. The body of the orange noise rolls straight to the side making a noise, but the brave man does not stop, turning the direction the moment he lands and following the rolling orange noise.

And the moment the orange noise manages to regain its posture while rolling, raising its upper body while getting its knees to the ground, he wears the right shoulder of the orange noise with a sword in his hand.

"Gee...... ahhhhhh!!!

I can't stand the severe pain of continuing to stand, the orange sound that makes me groan. The upper body that woke him fell with a shock stuck to his shoulder, hitting his back hard on the ground and his breath leaking out of his lungs.

The brave man kicks and steps on the left hand of the orange noise, which he manages to grasp the sword in an attempt to resist. Pushing him down, not so much, but the brave man, who suppressed the fallen orange noise shoulder and left hand with his sword and feet, looked down at him as he crossed over the orange noise.

"Ha... ha... my win"

"Eh... no, I haven't admitted to losing yet!

If I lose, Lulu will be taken. That's what I thought. The orange noise wakes my torso, not worrying about the sword pierced my right shoulder.

"Awwwwwwwww!!!!

Without a sword piercing the flesh of his shoulders, the orange noise pounded his head into the galloping belly.

- You can't lose, Lulu, I'll protect you!

With that in mind, I can ignore the pain in the sword that pierces my shoulders, etc.

"Huh...!

"Ahhhhhhh!!

Don't miss the gap of the brave man fluttered with his head poking, pulling through his trampled left hand and pounding. The brave man was stunned by the action of the abandonment, accidentally releasing his hand from the sword, taking two and three steps back in a fluttering manner.

And the orange noise pulled out as he stood up the sword that pierced his shoulder, staring at the brave man with eyes he had not yet given up.

"Ha... ha...!

"Eww... you, until then...!

"I won't give it to you... Lulu won't give it to you..."

"Holy shit!

To the appearance of orange noise, the brave man steps in in in a frustrating manner and punches him in the face like the first.

"Gu......!

"Yours, you lose! You know there's no winning chance!

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

But to the orange sound of not falling, he slapped his fist over and over again. In addition to the amount of bleeding, the orange noise, which has become hazy and unconscious due to the damage of full-bodied creativity, has dropped the sword already in hand.

But the brave beat the orange noise without picking it up. The expression felt a willingness to fall faster than a willingness to defeat orange noise.

"Zee... Hue... Zee... Hue..."

Orange sounds that were no longer normal for breathing either, still he stood with two legs. Because of its ability to withstand, limits appear in the fists of the brave before the limits of the orange noise.

In the running fist of pain, the beating of the brave stopped the movement once.

"Ha... ha...! Down you go... you've already lost!

"... I... don't..."

"Huh...!?

"I... don't..."

Orange sounds were half unconscious. Still, the fear of losing his will and family kept him standing.

Falling is defeat,

Defeat is going to lose everything,

I don 't-- I don't like that!

"Wow, I won't...!

Orange sounds showing obsession, brave men feared such orange sounds. He bleeds from all over his body like a ghost, and his face is already shattered with blood and bruising colors. Having been deeply choosen on his right shoulder, his right arm is dangling, and his fluttering upper body can only be described as creepy.

A few steps, brave man away from orange noise.

"Master Nagi."

"Eh... Cecil..."

Cecil, who was the only one in the ring besides the two of us, gently supported him from behind it. She put her own forehead on the brave man's back and said gently.

"You are a brave man. Whatever you say, you are a brave man... you have nothing to fear."

"Oh, oh... right..."

To Cecil's words, the brave man regained only a little extra time.

He's still weak. It's not a fight, my heart is weak. He trained people, fought them, grew stronger, but he never killed anything yet. Therefore, there is an overwhelming lack of practical experience. I'm not ready and mentally strong enough to just take some life.

That's why I feared the orange noise. With an injury that I shouldn't have been able to move, I stand on my feet and come towards you. He's a brave man who can even resist taking his life originally. It hurts orange noise any more because it's going to kill me.

Orange noise was scary enough for him not ready to take his life.

"He can't fight anymore, if he pays his legs and knocks him down, he won't be able to stand up anymore"

As Cecil said, he paid for his orange feet. Then, the orange noise collapsed and fell into depression. He gave a short groan, trying to stand up, but seemed powerless in his body.

Originally, "imminent death experience" is not a strange level to activate, but "imminent death experience" is not activated because "light of hope" is activated.

"This battle is Nagi-sama's victory."

And Cecil, looking down at the orange noise, said so lightly. At the same time, the circle of light that was inhibiting interference from the outside was released, and the finers immediately rushed to the orange noise.

"Mr. Tight! Mr. Tight!"

Immediately Finia tried to activate the healing magic, but the 'Light of Hope' of the brave does not even allow its activation.

"Holy crap... Holy crap!!

Finia desperately tries to activate the healing magic, but the feeling of the magic spreading away like it's empty comes from her hands in vain.

"... as promised, we will take your slave child"

But there the brave man said so looking down at the orange noise of falling. And Finia and the others hear the words, and see Lulu.

Lulu was also stunned when he opened his eyes to the words. Then, in an instant, the idea of breaking up with the orange noise passes behind his brain, and he looks at the orange noise like he was in a hurry. And I touched the collar, and I came to one thought.

"Dear Tight... please give me an order...!

- Orders, absolute rules against slaves.

"Command me not to go......! That way......!

That way Lulu would die with the effect of a collar the moment he was taken away by the brave. A brave man should not take it for good. That's what I thought.

"Ru... Ru, honey... Yi..."

Orange noise also understood it and tried to give orders. But that mouth doesn't give orders until the end. Lulu was in a hurry.

But it couldn't be orange. Orange noise could not command Lulu to die.

"Why... Dear Tight...!

"Ru, ru... ears, lend... do"

The orange sounds call Lulu, who weeps and suffers the tenderness of the orange sounds.

Lulu listened to such an orange noise and put his own ear in his mouth to the orange noise.

"... what is it?

―――――――

The orange noise was only heard by Lulu, who said something. Lulu is the only one who knows what he said.

But Lulu looked stunned when he heard the words and rounded his eyes.

"Tough... Dear... OK"

But the next moment, she stands up with a determined face for something. And he walked up to the sight of the brave man, and looked up at the brave man and said:

"Take Me - Take Me... Brave Lord"

The Phineas were just stunned by the words.

"Hey, why... Lulu!

"... excuse me, Dear Finia"

"I'm not sorry...!

"Oh, yes, I did."

Finia not convinced by Lulu's behavior, but the witch Cecil came forward blocking that word.

And when I crouched beside the orange noise, I took up the fox face that was hanging on his head.

"Huh... or let...!!

"Important things change people...... apparently Nagi-sama doesn't like slavery very much...... if you want it back please come and revamp those minds"

Cecil said so. White, I said so.

When the orange noise heard the word, it immediately came to pass. This woman says she's not as pure as she looks. I can see in that head that we are calculating our losses properly. And you thought, if you take your face away from yourself now,

- When you get an Idea Species (Phinea)

"Wait, that's!

"What is it?

"Huh..."

Leishe pinched her mouth to stop it, but she gets barometric pressure from Cecil's intimidating words and eyes.

"Ha-ha-ha..."

"Huh...! Tight! Leila, get Tight to the Alliance nursing room!

"Hmm... well, look, I'm in trouble for you to die."

Leishe responds immediately to the bleeding orange noise. I thought the Alliance nursing room would be able to treat them accurately. And Layla rarely and honestly followed Liesche's instructions, holding an orange noise and taking a step toward the guild, glancing at the brave for a moment.

"... ugh"

A brave man tilting his neck, Leila cut her gaze without stopping and ran away with an orange noise to the guild.

All that remained were five Leishe and Finia confronting the brave and Cecil, Lulu and the brave.

"Give me that side back... it's a tough one"

"You said that earlier, didn't you? I'll give this back to him when he changes his mind... if you really want to..."

Cecil approaches Finia and Liesche's ears and tells them not to sound like brave men.

"That slave boy, he'll die, won't he?

That was the word, Todome. Even though Lulu's life was taken hostage and he fought with strength, Finia can't activate magic right now, and Liesche is no match for the brave.

Aside from obeying, there was no path left.
