When the orange noise was brought into the guild, the orange noise "imminent death experience" was activated whether it came out of the range of effects of the brave man's "Light of Hope" or whether the brave man once again unlocked the "Light of Hope".
Activated to cause orange noise to die, it gains twice as much resistance as the muscle strength status of the brave, the opponent who cornered orange noise to the brink of death. And the stats of the brave men are all equal to A-rank, and if they double that, they will gain S-rank self-healing abilities just as they did in Leila.
It was worse than when Leila was, but in a few minutes all the orange noise wounds were completely healed. The wind hole in his shoulder blocked, as did the wounds that penetrated his belly, and his face and body, which had been beaten and squealed back many times.
"Uh, I thought you were gonna die."
That's what orange sounds like to wake your body up and move your fully recovered body.
"Immediate death experience" sustains its effects until danger leaves after activation. The raised status temporarily becomes the original orange sound.
After activating the effect, the Immediate Death Experience lurks once and is activated to restore the status again after the crisis leaves.
In other words, it doesn't keep activating all the time between activation and stopping. It hasn't worked in the meantime.
What that means is that 'imminent death experience' will not accept the effect of 'light of hope' until the end of the battle if activated.
"You're tough, you're tough."
"Something, Leila."
"What are we going to do?
That's what Leila says to the orange noise.
The orange noise makes a thin laugh and walks out to the entrance of the guild. Leila also follows him on a small run to follow him behind it.
"The purpose of that witch is to take Finia away. Ever since I saw Finia, her eyes have been plotting how to keep Finia company. So I guess I figured it out when the brave guy said he was going to help Lulu."
"Really?
"Hey Leila, if you were in this country, wouldn't you know? Is such a battle recognized in this country?
The orange noise goes out the entrance of the guild, with the brave man trying to take Lulu away.
I looked to the witch.
"Yeah, I've never heard of it"
"I guess... if such a battle is recognized, this country is collapsing in civil strife instead of war"
To Leila's answer, he walked further, scoffed and orange sounded like that.
Yes, there's no system for dueling in this country - 'there isn't'.
Cecil affirmed against the word that the strong things of the brave were everything. But it's not about the strong taking anything away.
I can gain some by being a strong man, and it's just a story of gaining a lot of fame. This battle was created by that witch, Cecil,
- It's called a duel, a place to rob.
Orange noise knew that. No, I've been noticing it on the way, to be exact. That's why we tried to escape at first, but Cecil activated that circle of light to seal the escape from it.
Moreover, what was unexpected was the 'light of hope' of the brave. I thought buying time would solve the circle of light sooner or later, but that skill sealed all the means of buying time.
I lost because of it. It was all on that witch's palm.
"I don't like it, it's not a hobby to stay hit"
That's how the orange noise murmurs and reaches next to the leachet that was standing still. At the same time, in reaction to that word of orange noise, the brave man and witch who were about to leave turned with a startling look. Lulu, who was going to be taken, and Finia are equally surprised.
Leila is the only one who knows the existence of the 'imminent death experience', there is no imposition.
"hey... you, why"
"Oh, you've had enough, just so we're clear, you're not my enemy"
"Become..."
The brave talked about it, but the orange noise slammed it off overnight.
Already for orange noise, he is not even in consciousness, on the contrary, in his eyes. I'm not thinking, acting, willing or prepared enough to make it an enemy. I don't even have time for orange noises to worry about bugs that just have a little bit of power.
The orange noise gaze was directed towards the witch with the face.
"... what is it?
"No, think you did a good job... I said disqualify the squire, but I'll revoke it. You must be pretty strong."
"... Hi"
"But if you mean a valiant squire... you're disqualified. Well, if you're a valiant squire there, you look great."
Orange noise said so with a thin laugh. The witch's brow moved tingly.
"But well, they really rolled over your palm, and the loss is a loss... both Lulu and Finia can take it if you want to take it"
And go on and say. We'll remind them of what we did and who we turned against our enemies. With that in mind, activate the 'Creepy Physique' and walk out toward the witch.
Apparently, 'Light of Hope' is not activated. Well, I can see that the "Creepy Physique" is activated only by the orange noise and its subject, and the brave man cannot inhibit it with the "Light of Hope" any more than he cannot realize it.
"But I will not forgive you"
"Huh...!?
The orange noise, which brought his face so close that his nose and nose touched each other, told Cecil with a thin, laugh. Sometimes' Creepy Physique 'was activated, and Cecil was so trapped in fear that she wanted to escape that her body was dull and unable to move.
"You run away with everything you can, I'll chase you, chase you, chase you, and at the end of the day I'll beat you to the point where you regret what you did to me. I'll distort that beautiful face with tears and runny nose, give you the fear of not standing on your feet, make you incontinent like a child, and at the end of the day, rub your head against the ground and desperately beg my forgiveness."
"Nah... ahhh...!
"Hey, you!
"What kind of brave man are you?
"Huh... this!!!
Until earlier, it was dominant, but for some reason, orange noise words were hounding the two of us.
But the brave man pulls out that sword and hangs it on an orange noise. The orange noise couldn't keep up with its velocity, and although I couldn't see a body at all,
"Huh -!?"
"Too bad it won't work. I told you, you're not even my enemy anymore."
The blade made a dull noise and hit the orange noise neck, stopping without even cleaving the skin instead of the meat.
The resistance ability value improved in the Imminent Death Experience does not even contribute to the power of the A-rank.
"Well, I'll leave you in this position. If you do this any more, you're gonna cry, aren't you?
"Ku......!
"Huh...!
Orange noise said so and provoked with ridicule, two and three steps away from Cecil. And the two who haven't been told from earlier bite their teeth back into unspeakable stress.
But orange noise's gaze is no longer for both of us.
"Lulu, Finia"
"Mr. Tight......"
"Dear Tight......"
No matter how much I say, losing is losing. No matter how cowardly you were, you can't say anything more than defeat. That's why orange sounds don't scratch like no other here. Dastardly and despicably, I will beat you down with all my might, and taste the humiliation.
"You told Lulu earlier."
"... Yes"
Orange noise makes it clear again what I said earlier to Lulu. If you want it back, you can still get it back.
But I won't now. That's only a bad scratch, and I won't because I'm going to be just like the cowardly braves.
Just be square, challenge directly from the front, and get it back.
"Wait... I'll definitely take it back"
So just a little now, I want you to wait. With that in mind, Orange Sound said that to the Phineers.
"Yeah...... I'm waiting"
"Yes......!
Finia and Lulu accepted the thought. You promised me that you would get it back if you waited, so I decided to believe you and wait.
The orange noise let Lulu and Finia hold each other and hugged them gently.
Another one, more promises to keep.
◇ ◇ ◇
Then Lulu and Finia were taken away by the brave men. Apparently, he's leaving the country like this and embarking on a crusade for the Demon King.
I'm not convinced they took you both away, but if Finia was here, she'd protect Lulu. I'm sure I'll see you again.
"Was it good? Tight you."
"What?
"Let the finers go, well, I don't care"
Then that's what Leila asked me. Well, it's not good, but you said you'd get it right back. I'll keep my word.
Those two went about something really pissed off, but I'll definitely get revenge one day. Make me bow my head in tears and say I'm sorry.
We need to be stronger for that. In order to be quick and strong, you just have to fight a strong opponent, or maybe we can kill each other a little from today on, Leila.
"It makes me feel a little hard for Lulu and the others... but I'll get it right back, so I'll be fine"
"Hmmm... uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
"But how are you going to get it back? Whatever the witch is, the brave ones are very strong, right?
Sure it is. No matter how much you increase your Resistance status, you can't win just because you can't lose. Well, if that's all you seem to be mentally weak, it's rarely one hand to beat you with words and crush your heart, but I'd like to do it again for what I've been hit with anyway.
If so, it would be most efficient to give you muscle strength or something... my muscle strength value has reached its limit, so there's nothing you can do about it. But when you do, do you have to acquire a more convenient style of combat?
"Yeah, whatever... giving it a level is your priority"
"Well, I guess so..."
"Anyway, there's no point in being in this country anymore... let's just get the hell out of this country and go somewhere else. It's good to go back to Miniera, it's good to go elsewhere..."
Either way, the Kingdom of Grandir honestly doesn't want to be here anymore. It's a country I've summoned brave men to, and it's a country that's cynical to slaves, and it's not nice to me.
Besides, it's not very nice to break into a castle. If I suck, they'll put me in jail. It is unsavory to take any action in this country more than action may be restricted.
Besides - my 'intuition' skills tell me I shouldn't stay on the spot.
"Maybe there 'll come a guy who sucks more than brave..."
To my whining, both Leishe and Leila tilted their necks.
◇ ◇ ◇
By then the brave men were at the entrance of the Kingdom of Grandir. The two of us left the place with Lulu and Finia so we could escape the orange noise, but we remembered that we had originally planned to wait for our fellow travellers in the guild and decided to wait at the entrance.
Sirfi the Wizard and Sieg the Swordsman, they are the two who will surely help you in your journey. After all that noise in the guild, so if the two of you came later, someone would hear from you and you would definitely come this far. That's what Cecil thought.
And now, Cecil and the brave man were thinking about the existence of orange noise.
We were both in a completely unhappy mood when we said we won as a result of the duel. On the contrary, I regretted that I had turned the existence of orange noise on my enemies, this. Regardless of what brought Lulu and Finia here, I regret it because I thought I was afraid of the orange noise.
If you can, someone you don't want to get involved with again, comes after you to the end of the earth. That just makes my face fade. Not so long ago, they were planted with fear in orange noise.
"... Cecil"
"... what is it?
"For now, I can't help but care, and it's not like you're coming after me right now, is it? Our role is to crusade the Demon King. Why are we here?
"Right..."
Brave man, he said so to himself, smiling as if he had been forced to make it. Cecil also manages to regain her mind, wondering if she's encouraging me.
And when Cecil managed to create a grin, he also raised his voice to change the heavier air.
"Okay! Then don't dare, it's a corner trip. Have fun!
"You can't have fun, you unbrave bastard"
"What... and... Finia, was it?
"Would you mind not calling me names?
"Don't be so angry, let's get along, shall we?
"No."
In Finia's utterly unopen-minded demeanor, she grins with a convulsion. Turns out they totally hate you. The strength and kindness of that sense of righteousness, and the lack of experience of having looks and hating from too many people so far, is somewhat shocked by the obvious disgust so far.
But I managed to stop and now I turn my gaze to Lulu. She seemed totally unwilling to participate in the conversation as she touched the collar, a family bond with Orange Sound. The expression doesn't seem to float anywhere either.
"Er... Lulu... Was it?
"... Yes"
"Are you hurt anywhere?
"... it's okay"
"Oh well..."
This is not what a catch ball for conversation can be. No matter how many words you throw, Lulu will recieve everything. The proof is that he didn't throw it back.
Then, he noticed that Lulu was clawing his collar.
"It's cramped, isn't it? I'll get it."
"Huh?"
Then, he pulled out his sword all the time here and showed off his forged fat muscles at all costs -
- - I tore up Lulu's collar.
"Ahhh... ahhh...!
The broken collar fell off Lulu's neck, making a noise to the ground.
The collar where Lulu and Orange noise connected the two to become a family. Of course, Lulu and Orange sound are connected by heart even without such objects, they will never cease to be family where the collar is gone.
- But this collar was the only treasure for Lulu.
That was now slashed and torn with a ruthless blade and fell to the ground.
"Lulu!
"Oh, oh... oh...!
Lulu crouches into the ground and scratches desperately to undo the collar that has fallen apart. I can only overflow tears and move my hand to stick my collar again and again that doesn't stick to what's going on.
But what's the matter? The collar won't come back.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...!!
Lulu weeps. Tears into the consciousness of sin for orange noise, not in sorrow for the broken collar. The proof of the bond I made with him was broken, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't know what to do.
"Uh... could it be that you liked the collar? Wow, sorry! Give me a new one."
"Enough."
"Huh?"
To a brave man who says things about misunderstandings, a finia floating before a tearful lull blocks words with angry shapes. All I asked was to stay away from Lulu, and I went between the brave and Lulu and stared at him.
"You don't mind us anymore... I'll be patient with you because you say so, but you don't do anything to us."
"Huh... ha... ok, sorry"
I honestly retreated from Finia's words, thinking that whatever she said now would just go behind her back.
I dropped my shoulders, thinking that apparently Finia and her fondness for herself was waving a negative.
