--It was the late night of the third day when I started sleeping near the Daiki tree of Fontarpune.
Julius was on guard duty, and Malta and I slept in our tent, but we woke up unexpectedly.In a moment, I felt "dazzled".
Something is emitting a strong light nearby.Even if I closed my eyelids, I knew that.
I wake up with my eyes open.― ― The identity of light was the Spirit Stone of Water that Lukash kept.
The Spirit Stone is sparkling.
"What? The Spirit Stone is glowing...."
While observing, the light gets stronger and stronger.
I had a bad feeling about it.
I thought I'd report it to Malta and Julius, and I reached out to Malta, who was sleeping right in front of me.
"Hey! We're surrounded by monsters!"
Suddenly he jumped literally to Julius, who had entered the tent.
--Are you surrounded by monsters?
The reaction is delayed for a few seconds. Malta was up in the meantime.
"Shit! You didn't make any noise!?"
Malta holds a dagger placed beside her.And he jumped out of the tent with Julius.
For a moment I was worried about whether I should be here or not, and I was more concerned about Fontane-sama's tree than I was about myself, and I came out of my tent with a spare antidote.
--It was a herd of monsters surrounding us that welcomed us.
"When did this monster...?"
I was surrounded by so many monsters that I couldn't help but groan.
A beast-shaped monster with a huge body.A two-legged monster that is likely to be more than two meters long.A small, fast-moving monster.I glanced at the monsters with abundant variation - one of the monsters caught my eye.
The monster looked like a man.
Did you notice my gaze? The humanoid monster walks a few steps closer to us.The movement is people themselves.
Marta and Julius put their hands on the weapon to be alert.
Hello
The monster cleverly used human words and smiled softly.
Perhaps the humanoid monster is a leader in this.If the setting is the same as "Last Brave", the closer you get to a person, the stronger the monster becomes.In this world, I've never seen a monster look like so many people.
--Or maybe they're obsessed with humans.
At that moment, something was falling off my head.Looking at the monsters, I grabbed the “something” that fell.--It was a dead leaf.
I look up unexpectedly.And he took a breath.
"Such a big tree....."
--The big tree of Fontarpune-sama is dying.
The branches will wither, and the leaves will wither and fall over us.It was too late.
(I couldn't help you.....)
I managed desperately to catch it falling off my knees.We can't show the monsters a gap here now.
What should I do? We need to get rid of the monsters in front of us now.However, Malta and Julius are the only ones with this number of monsters.I brought about ten bottles of poison.It doesn't seem very helpful.
Will you die here with Fontarpune-sama's big tree?--No, never do that.
(Find another way... to save us and Fontarpune...)
Without knowing, I gripped the Spirit Stone with my chest.Then the Spirit Stone shines again, as if it responds to my heart.
The dazzles distorted the faces of the monsters, and Malta did not divert her eyes from the monsters, and threw only questions.
"Hey, Laura, aren't you shining?"
"That's right, but I don't know at all...."
Why is the Spirit Stone shining?Do you want to tell me something?Or are you telling me that Fontarpune's life will be completely exhausted?
The light gets stronger and stronger. Whether you were irritated by this light, or whether you felt impatient again, a humanoid monster stood up with a weapon.
The other monsters are attacking us all at once.The sight was no longer desperate.
"Get down!"
And as Julius cried, I held the Spirit Stone in my chest, and crouched down on the spot.--instantly, wrapped in warm light.
He crouched while meditating for a few seconds, but he couldn't hear the monster roaring.There is no pain in the body. Just warm light is enveloping my body.
Strangely, I slowly opened my eyelids - something warm stroked my cheeks.
I open my eyes to surprise.Then the identity of the “something” that stroked my cheek jumped into view.
(... puppy?)
Soon I had a puppy in my chest.No, wolf. The standing ears quickly turned away, and the big eyes stared up at us.
The small body that can be held lightly is warm and the bright white hair is fluffy.I had the impression of a puppy, but one thing was obviously different from the puppy I knew.
It is a beautiful “stone” embedded in the fluffy hair of the forehead.The stone shined blue - very similar to Fontarpune's Spirit Stone.
Gently touch the stone. That way the puppy rang with joy.
"Boundary....."
Malta murmured, and I returned to myself.And looking at Malta, she was staring at the front.
I also follow Malta's gaze and look ahead.Then - into the small boundaries that unfolded around us, the monsters were prevented from walking into sight.
The monsters began attacking the border at the direction of their leader, confused by the sudden appearance of the boundary.In a moment, the puppy in his arm rang painfully.
Watch the puppy in a hurry.Next to the puppy snorting in agony, a broken spiritual stone entered her eyes.
"The Spirit Stone is cracking...."
Spirit stones that are completely cracked and cloudy in color.A stone similar to a spiritual stone that shines beautifully on the forehead of a puppy.
- I don't think so.
(This child was born from Fontarpune's Spirit Stone...?)
Is that possible?But considering that, it is somewhat satisfactory to the current situation.
This puppy was born from Fontarphne-sama's Spirit Stone, and this child, who has inherited the power of Fontarphne-sama in some way, now stretches the boundary to protect us.
I stare at the puppy in my arm.Then he made a scream similar to the scream.
"No, there are too many monsters!There's no boundaries! "
Looking at Julius's words, the monsters attacked with small cracks.The puppy in my arm looks painful, and I hug her without thinking.
Once again, Julius stood by his weapons, and Malta deployed a magical formation at our feet.I don't know what she's going to do, but I'll poison her so I can be a little more powerful anyway.
The cracks on the boundary are getting bigger and bigger.It looks like it will crack in a little while.
"When the boundary breaks, it explodes, okay!?"
Malta saw me and Julius in the face.I nodded a lot because I knew the situation was going to have to involve the opponent in the preparations for a suicide bombing, even though I was a little anxious about the word "big explosion".
It's all right. I'm sure Avale is aware of the situation and that Arnold and Oliver are on their way.Thanks to this kid I'm holding in my arms, I was able to buy a lot of time, so if I could just hold on a little longer...
There was a loud noise and a deep crack in the boundary.
"Let's go!, let's..."
I dropped my hips as Malta shouted.Julius rushes out. The magic team at his feet glows. And...
Laura!
I heard a voice from behind.
Parin, the border breaks. The monsters blown away by the impact.Julius's back chasing it.Maltese magic that is currently causing a huge explosion.- And a blonde young man standing in front of me.
He said that he was the only one
Lukash!
You're a brave man in this world.
What timing will you rush to?Stream stones are the protagonists of this world.
― ― Though I was completely relieved to think of something that would be a little disfigured in my mind, I was about to enter the scene.A powerful arm holds it together.
"Sorry I'm late!"
I just shake my head heartily.I wonder if Lukash and his men were thrown through the interstices of time and space into the fountain, and their hair and clothes were wet.
You managed to make it!
Vake shouted as he wiped out the monsters one after the other with a great sword.The reliance spilled a smile.The tension thread is broken, making the tension strange.
and supple hands on the shoulders.Looking back, I saw Mercedes with a gentle smile.
"Well done, Laura."
"Ah, thank you, Mr. Mercedes."
I didn't do anything.But the words of Mercedes's labor made me feel like crying.
"I'll take care of Laura," Lukash told Mercedes, and he burst into a herd of monsters.With clever swordsmanship and the power of the heroes, he retreats the monsters one after the other.The figure was truly a “brave man”.
Mr. Mercedes pulled his hand and waited near the Spirit's drinking water.With just a little room, I observed the puppy now resting peacefully in her arms again.
I'm sure the monster was attacking the border because it sounded painful earlier.The boundaries were eventually broken, but is sleeping like this restoring my health?
With gratitude for your help, I hold my puppy back.
---and suddenly the spirit's drinking water source made a mess!and a loud noise came out.They must have passed through the space-time gap, just like the Lukash.But he looked back in a hurry, wondering if there would be anyone like that other than Lukash, who were divided into two parts - and he opened his eyes to the person who was there.
"Laura, are you okay!?"
"E, Elvira!?"
A beautiful girl with black hair and black eyes - Elvira. She wipes off her wet hair with her hands and activates magic like a stick.In an instant, a large explosion blew up a whole area of monsters.
Breathe in too much power.I knew it, but she's still a genius.
I cannot forbid you to be confused by a sudden reunion that is too sudden, even as I rejoice with a trustworthy companion.If you say "why" without thinking,
I'm here!
With a pleasant voice, the Green Ball of Light - the Wind Spirit Wentle replied.
Master Wentor!
Though I knew for a fact that he was supposed to have protected Elvira in the village.Wentle sensed our pinch and said Elvira wanted to go.
Beyond me, bewildered, Mr Mercedes smiled bitterly as if he knew this would happen.
The arrival of the Lukash and the rendezvous of Elvira, as well as the Knights of Chevalier and Arnold, finally managed to get rid of so many monsters.It was a pretty critical situation, but I was relieved to finally get through it.
--But it's still too early to be reassured.Master Fontarpune's tree is probably at its limit.As soon as possible, the Spirit of the Earth, Rykerlant, must purify the poisoned soil.
While cleaning up around the Knights, he found Lukash and rushed over.
Luca!
"Laura, are you hurt? I'm glad we made it."
I was grabbed by the hand. I held the puppy in one hand so I couldn't touch it with both hands, but I also held Lukash's hand back.
I know that you rushed me like this, but I don't suppress my feelings of deviation and ask you.
"Um, Rykerlant...."
To answer my question, a ball of tea light appeared from nowhere.And “it” blinks.
Safe, you saved me, La
- One word, not "Last Brave," which was a famous character.
Shake your head off the difference that passed your head.I don't have time to think about that right now.
Well then, hurry up and get Mr. Fontarpune!
"Fontarpune is dead."
--Master Fontarpune is dead.
I stood astonished at Mr Rykerland's words, which were too direct.
"That's right, I didn't make it..."
Lukash and the others were able to help Lord Rykerrand.A lot of people helped me.
* woosh * your body is relaxing.
I can't get the sword anymore.What am I supposed to do?
At this moment, when I was completely blue, Lord Rykerland blinked.
No, that's not true, Te......
"Fontarpune is completely decayed, and the next spirits of water are born.It's mostly you now, it's him.
Behind your back, you can hear the voice of another spirit.Looking back, Arnold was standing there with the red ball of light that floated beside him - Avur the Spirit of Fire.
"Ah, to Mr. Arnold, Master Avour....."
"Are you okay?"
Arnold nodded to a brief question.
"Ha, yes, I can manage."
After watching me nod, Arnold turned to Lukash. And laugh a little.
I knew you were back.
"Of course."
Lukash also nodded forcefully with a smile - realizing that the warmth touched his feet.
I look at my feet.When did you wake up, the puppy who had been sleeping in my arm earlier rubbed his head on my leg.
I recall the words of Rikerrand and Avour earlier.
Master Fontarpune is dead. - A new Spirit of Water was born.
I crouch on the spot.That way the puppy rang with joy.At that time, the blue stone embedded in the forehead sparkles.
(... is this the new Spirit of Water?)
I lifted him up, and with the puppy in my arms, I asked Master Avour.
"Er, Avour, does this mean this child is Fontarpune's next new Spirit of Water?"
Master Avour and Master Rykerland nodded.
--suddenly, a green ball of light jumps into my vision.The Spirit of the Wind, Wentle, flew around like excited.
That's right! Fontarpune's forgiveness is broken, so to get the Holy Sword, we need to get a new forgiveness from that baby!
Arnold carelessly grabbed Wentor-sama as he flew around.However, since the light of the Spirit does not involve a substance, it cannot naturally be grasped by human hands.
Deep wrinkles were engraved between his eyebrows, and Arnold asked in a low voice.
"... Wentle, why are you here with Elvira?"
Because Laura and the others were in danger, I wanted to be a hero!
Arnold sighs and looks back diagonally.There was Miss Mercedes and Elvira watching us hide in her shadow.
As you know, Arnold probably didn't know Elvira was coming here.For him, it would be unforgivable for his beloved sister to come through the dangerous space-time gap and even to the battlefield surrounded by monsters.Elvira herself, who wanted it, and Wentor, who helped her, have something to think about.
While thinking that this seems to be a bit boring among Rocco's brothers and sisters, my thoughts keep turning towards the new Spirit of Water.Though I thought it might be so, I was surprised and confused when this little puppy was affirmed as Fontarphne-sama's next water spirit.
(Spirits resembling the beast appeared in the "Last Brave", but... it's just been born, really like an animal)
It's too different from the spirits I know.
Staring still, the Spirit of Water yawned so loudly as to sleep.
"Your... forgiveness?"
"Waffle"
"I don't even understand words....."
It's frustrating. Somehow you miss me, but I wonder if I can get forgiveness without being able to communicate with you.
The water spirit licked my cheek in the middle of nowhere.If you say "wow" in surprise, you can lick it even more easily.I smiled without thinking.
Master Avour, who seems to have been watching our breathtaking exchange, tells us with a slightly astonishing voice.
Don't worry. You've already forgiven me. "
Huh?
I saw the voice in surprise at Master Avour's words.That way, Arnold, who was standing near Master Avur, could see his eyes slightly rounded.
Master Avour is slowly approaching us.On the balls of light fluffy around him, the Spirit of Water stretched his forefoot as if it were a toy.- It's really like a puppy.
Avour approached the blue stone embedded in his forehead without paying attention to the spirits of water that followed him.
This is his forehead stone, the Spirit Stone.
Eh!
He explained it in brief terms.
I once again stared at the stone embedded in the forehead of the Spirit of Water.The more I looked at it, the more similar it was to the Spirit Stone of Fontarpune that I gave to Lukash.
--A new water spirit, a new spiritual stone.
Everything "maybe" in me is affirmed and on the contrary confused.I can't believe this puppy was the new Spirit of Water and the Spirit Stone on her forehead.
"He seems to have forgiven me for trying to protect my mother."
The Spirit of Water sounded with joy as he agreed with Avour's words.
