The evening before the departure for Wang Du Chevalia, Mr. Vilma and two Kings of Coordinators from the Platonovena branch came to Anea. The fact that they have been evacuated probably means that a necessary number of soldiers and magicians have gathered in the city.
I ran out of breath to other known faces besides Mr. Emiliana s.
"Mr. Vilma, you're safe and above all!
Mr. Vilma makes me smile, even as he glances at the dark neighborhood in his eyes.
"Oh, Laura. Nice complexion, good."
The voice is also somewhat ravaged. Mr. Vilma narrowed his eyes even more so as to delude it and stroked my head.
I'm sure she s more tired, Rin behaves worried about the younger girl. I wasn't dumb enough not to spot it, but at the same time I wasn't dumb enough to point it out.
A moment of silence. I hesitated to disintegrate the current soothing atmosphere with my own inquiry, but still couldn't help but ask “it”.
"... Um, what's the situation in Platonovena?
"There are soldiers and magicians in the city."
Are you trying to make the air on the spot a little lighter, Vilma replied in a joking tone, smiling bitterly.
But she continues in a tone that deepens her bitter smile and then makes me say it to her, still making her face strong.
"There's no demonic movement. Alec was distressed so the spirit of the soldiers wouldn't rub off."
I was relieved by Mr Vilma s report for now. I feel my tense body relax.
There is no demonic movement yet. Just one word of that, that's a lot of information for me. Although there is no denying the possibility that demons will show movement in the future.
Nevertheless, I wonder why Alec was so sure of the demonic raid. What is that tone of uncertainty based on?
"Arnold is the same.... I've just deposited a letter for you"
The envelope that was inadvertently given to me at the moment. To Ampel, my name, written in an unexpectedly polite handwriting, stuck my breath for a moment.
I exhaled one loud breath and then received it. I can assume the current status report spelled out, but still slightly shivered my fingertips. They made my days here more annoying and weak than I thought.
"You're going back to Wang Du, aren't you?
♪ Yes, nod so small. I'm totally done packing up.
Even though Arnold is still in danger, he evacuates to a safer place. It's only gonna be a foot job where I left off, I don't have the talent for witchcraft, it's not what I and Arnold want. I understand that, but my pity for myself and my guilt for Arnold really seeped into the bottom of my chest.
"- Emiliana!" Alec wrote to you too!
I look back at the voice that Mr. Vilma accidentally raised. When were you there, Emiliana at the end of her gaze was obviously shrinking her body.
Still, when Mr. Vilma gives us the letter, he approaches us with a delicate move like a small animal and receives the letter. And when I opened the envelope without hesitation, I quickly glanced through the letter.
I stare at the side of Mr. Bloody Emiliana. The moving blue eyes swayed, and the thinly open lips trembled in small pieces.
"... Emiliana, what's in the letter from Alec?
"He told me to go with Mr. Laura."
It s unfolding as I imagined. But when I thought of Mr. Emiliana's heart, nature and gaze fell to the floor.
But there I reconsider. Mr. Emiliana should be much harder and more anxious than I am. My fiancée stays in the battlefield and evacuates to unfamiliar land.
- If I can support her.
I raised my fallen gaze. Emiliana, folding the letter and holding it over her chest, couldn't read her squatting expression.
Naturally, I know this expression won t be passed on to her, but I still raise my mouth angle distorted.
"Mr. Emiliana, I'm fine. Wong Du is a nice place too, isn't it? Let me introduce you to my friends and trusted seniors."
Yeah. Nodded Emiliana slowly, raising her face. If I had expected there to be a bluish-blue face, which I had come up with - oh, my God, she had a very calm smile on her face.
Without my unexpected expression, said Emiliana, returning her heel from the spot, I will do my duty tomorrow .
I ll drop off my far back. So I noticed hah. I haven't opened a letter from Arnold, he said.
I rush to take the note out of the envelope. And with that momentum, I glanced at it all at once.
"No demonic movement yet. But Mr. Alec is convinced that Platonovena will be attacked again by demons. I don't know why. At least there's no way to pull the soldiers up from here, and they're going to be dressed like this for a while now '
It was an Arnold-like letter in which only the facts were spelled pale. Looks like you can hear him flat.
Keep reading - 'At the end of the letter, it was spelled out like this.
"Don't worry."
In a short sentence, there is much more power in the hand holding the letter.
It was like writing and beating. Until then, letters were polite and even-handed and very easy to read, so the differences in the last sentence accompanied are more pronounced.
The moment I tried to put it in the envelope, I thought of it and wrote aggressively - it looks like that floats behind my eyelids.
You must have cared about Arnold. From his eyes, the junior frightened by the sudden demonic raid may have been too pitiful.
To be honest, that sentence never made me feel lighter. There was an unattractive “me” who calmly decides it was only a restful word. But at the same time - some “I” felt glad for Arnold's care.
To be rocked by a carriage, for a few days. Finally, I returned to the king's capital, Chevalia. - With Mr. Emiliana.
"Laura!"
It was Chelsea and Senior Lina who welcomed me. On the two familiar faces, the tear glands loosen, wondering if the tension was loose.
"Chelsea, Senior Lina!
Running out loud. Then Chelsea similarly ran over to me and was hugged as she was.
"It was ok!? Are you hurt?
"It's okay. It's okay. I'm not hurt anywhere."
I couldn t help but laugh when I was touched all over my body. But I'm relieved by the warmth I touched more than that.
I embrace it back to its warmth, too. Then I realized Chelsea's shoulder was faintly trembling and I couldn't help but feel the strength in her arms hugging her.
As we hug each other, Senior Lina and I catch sight of each other. She was smiling gently everywhere.
But inadvertently a confusing colour appeared on the expression. If I traced the end of that gaze - there was a figure of Emiliana shrinking her body to lack of location and smiling modestly.
He had thought of it in addition to his sync and reunion with seniors. I stood next to Mr. Emiliana when I rushed to untie my embrace with Chelsea.
"I'll introduce you. This one is Mr. Emiliana. I'm here with you from Platonovena."
Short introduction to two people. From Platonovena, I guess we both guessed it all with the word, frowning perplexed for a moment. But soon there are two soft grins, directed at Mr. Emiliana.
"It's Emiliana. Best regards,"
Big heads down, Mr. Emiliana. The expression is calm enough to remember unnaturalness. It's like I've closed my mind.
My unsolicited concern was that Emiliana and Chelsea and Senior Lina had a soothing greeting. But Senior Lina cared that he would be tired on a long journey, and it would soon be the carriage of dissolution.
In the meantime, I break up with Chelsea and the others in an attempt to show Emiliana the Wang Capital. And here it is, and I walked out to escort her - to Mr. Emiliana, who wouldn't move off the spot, I stopped.
"Mr. Emiliana?
"... I told you to be prepared, yes, it was in the letter"
I didn t understand the meaning of words that suddenly rocked my eardrum.
Walking forward, Emiliana looks back.
"When I entrusted Platonovena's future, it said so"
With those words, I finally assumed that we were talking about a letter from Alec.
― ― Alec sent a letter to Emiliana saying she would entrust the future of Platonovena.
♪ Oh, it's like... ♪
¶ exhaled shallow. Humans, if I was too surprised, my emotions would break, and somehow I felt my mouth go up loose.
"No... No, it's like a will..."
Will. I was hesitant to say the word, but when I realized it, I was poking my mouth out to spill.
In my words, Mr. Emiliana crooked her face. He still looked like he was going to cry.
"I stabbed him wrong, but when I defeated the demon,"
I hold my fist to Alec s determination to be released from Emiliana s mouth. I recently had trouble taking care of my nails, so my nails ate into my palm.
"They said there was a demon speaking humanities. That demon had sharp claws and fangs and killed multiple soldiers in an instant. Obviously, it said it was different from the other demons… yes, it said"
I breathed into the pale spinning words from Mr. Emiliana s mouth.
Mandarin speaking demons also appeared in the Last Brave . Such demons are determined and powerful - if I may say so, they were like executives of the Demon King's Army.
If you want to set the game up, Alec says the demon should be stronger than the rest of the group. Unlike other demons, it was a graphic that could be seen as “boss” at a temperamental glance.
In other words, what do you want to say is that Alec's sense of seeing the demon at first glance and feeling "different from other demons" is probably beyond doubt. And maybe he was told by demons. We're going to hit this city again. If so, I am also convinced by Alec's attitude, who was so convinced of another raid of demons.
- Yes, it's all going to convince me. The words Mr. Alec left for Mr. Emiliana, the determination, everything.
"I'm sorry, I'm so, so sorry I couldn't hold you... sorry"
What a crooked face. Finally, tears appeared in his eyes, and Mr. Emiliana covered his face with both hands as he was ashamed of it.
I guess Mr. Emiliana has been patient for a long time. Maybe he was going to hold it alone.
I still walk over to her to make her wave her knees crying down. And naturally, he pulled the nodding head into his chest.
She's not a grown girl yet. You can't leave your parents and be attacked by the fear of losing your beloved fiancée.
"No, no......!
Shake your head loudly and over and over again. From the skin in contact, Mr. Emiliana's anxiety seemed to erode with the jitters.
Mandarin speaking demons. I'm ready to die, Mr. Alec.
Mr. Alec is not the kind of person to involve others in a battle that is unlikely to be won. If I were determined to stab myself in the wrong way with a demon, but I wouldn't be involving any other soldier. If I were to die, I would choose the path to die alone. - "I” know him, that's what he was.
It has an Arnold with powerful magic. There will also be a large gathering of formidable soldiers. And most importantly, Alec Platonovena appears in "Last Brave" - that is, the world three years later.
But such events were not spoken out of anyone s mouth in Last Brave . Probably an event that wasn't set up in the game. So, in this battle with demons, someone could lose their lives.
That s all I thought about, and I shook it again for the first time.
It's okay. I'm sure it's okay. Both Alec and Arnold will be back safely. Yes, Arnold told me not to worry.
For a while afterwards, Emiliana and I held each other loosely so that we could share our anxieties.
