- When the sun set and I was thinking about taking time. I thought I heard the front door open.
"Ah, Laura Sense. Did you want it?"
"Mr. Leanhardt!
Mr. Leanhardt glanced at his face. I thought maybe, one glimpse from around his hips and another, a familiar face. - Iris.
She held her eyes shining.
"Rawler! Were you here?
"Iris! Excuse me, I'm interrupting"
As he bows his head toward Mr. Leanhardt, he shook his head.
"No, Diona told me. I can't help it, Smitty."
Mr. Leenhardt and Iris came into the living room with that said. Behind it were also Mr. Sieg and Mr. Leon.
When I find out the fact that they are blood connected today, and then compare them again, I see they are somewhere alike - maybe. Again, the most eye-catching thing is eyes of the same color.
"Good evening, Dr. Laura"
"Yo, Dr. Laura. Diona took care of you."
"Good evening, Mr. Sieg, Mr. Leon"
Mr. Sieg with a gentle grin and Mr. Leon with a nibbly look at his teeth laughing. Two people who seem to be true opposites in their appearance traits and character, but I still know nothing more about them than Mr. Leanhardt.
Fumi Leanhardt's gaze turned to the table in the living room. Ahead, a container containing the remainder of the prototype that Arnold drank is placed.
"... is this the prototype of the rumor?
"Uh, yeah."
Perhaps Diona was reporting to Mr Leanhardt, who seemed to know about the prototype.
When Mr. Leanhardt takes the prototype, he sees it from various angles by making sure it is watered down into the light. And after a few seconds, he stared at me and said:
"Do you mind if I borrow it?
"Huh?"
"Nah, the truth is, demons have been wandering around our city lately. I'm hiding the city's presence in the junction, but I wanted to have my weapon with me as an escort. This prototype will melt the demon's skin, won't it?
Demons roam around the city. I'm thrilled with what Mr. Leanhardt said. It doesn't seem like the city was attacked because of the mouthfeel, but why is the demon around the city revitalized now?
Though, it's something I can't even think about, so I immediately shake off my thoughts. And I nodded at Mr. Leanhardt's words.
I had envisaged using this prototype against the Demon King nesting in Elvira, but it could be enough for a weapon against demons in the first place. Mass production of spiritual drinking water and the power of the brave, or the power of light, will be difficult materially, but it will be a trump card when it has to be used well - yes, like “holy water” in "Last Brave".
"Yes, if it seems useful..."
That's what I'm gonna say. I'm gonna give you all the rest of the prototypes. All, but only to the extent that a small container is sufficient with one hand. I wonder if I'm comfortable with the boulder with this, and I'll just give you some Spirit drinking water that I brought in spare. Still not so much.
If this prototype has reduced the number of people who can be hurt by demons, that would be a great pleasure.
"I don't have much left, so take the Spirit drinking water I have on hand right now if you'd like. With the help of those with the power of light, I think we can make a prototype."
"Thank you"
"Just be careful with the safety aspects. Mr. Arnold is drinking this morning, and there seems to be no particular abnormality... because I haven't been able to confirm it yet."
What concerns me is the safety aspect. If you're talking from Diona, you won't be dealing with the prototype clutteringly, even from Mr. Lenhardt's depth of thought, but I'm still worried about what's worrying me.
"I'll keep that in mind for the liver. And if anything happens, it's because we misinterpreted it, not because Lauracense is sick."
Mr. Leenhardt grinned and nodded to reassure me.
But as soon as I get rid of that grin, he asks me with a serious look.
"The prototype's on Elvira Sun?
I cannot immediately answer Mr. Leanhardt's question and lean down.
Honestly, I'm either going to prescribe this prototype to Elvira or I'm still worried. There is an expectation that it will be quite effective. But it's scary to think in case this prototype inadvertently stimulates the Demon King and causes damage to Elvira's body as a result.
As far as this experiment is concerned, I also have the idea that the people of Lustu - it would be better not to leave it to Diona to lay down an extra hand.
I honestly vented my grid.
"I'm worried, to be honest. Even if it's okay for others to drink it, what happens if Elvira, who has the Demon King inside, drinks it..."
Mr. Leanhardt nods small, but says nothing.
I kept going.
"We want to make sure that it's safe in the future, even if it's medicated, in the temple of the city of Lustu."
That was the answer at this stage.
Mr. Leanhardt groans and agrees with my answer, "Right." To the silence that fell, now I asked him.
The date of the experiment seems to be getting busy, but will it be okay?
"Are you feeling all right? Looks like you're busy getting ready..."
"Don't worry. It's our job."
That's what I said. Mr. Leenhardt's expression looks tired somewhere. But I'm not close enough to point that out, and I can only smile and swallow vaguely more than I was told not to worry.
To the silence that fell again, Mr. Leenhardt watched Diona as he held back beside him and watched how things were going. Apparently he felt something with just his gaze. Diona smiles and approaches us.
"Diona, send them all Sun."
Diona nods loudly at Mr. Leanhardt's words and does her gaze behind mine. When were you there, Lukersch and Arnold stood.
Arnold would have also listened to an earlier conversation with Mr. Lenhardt - a conversation about what to do with prescribing the prototype to Elvira. But can I assume that the fact that you didn't pinch your mouth is a similar idea to mine?
Mr Lienhardt, Mr Sieg and Mr Leon drop me off and leave the house behind. Diona sent us all the way to the entrance to the king's capital.
"Thank you so much for everything, Diona"
"No, welcome. I'd be glad to help. … See you later"
In a hurry, Diona quickly turned her heel back. As she stands trying to drop that back off until she can't see it, she looks back once. If he waved by accident, Diona looked around almost as if he was lost during the bundle - although modest, he waved back at me.
"Laura, you're getting along with Mr. Diona."
Lukersch calls me out after I can't see Diona.
"I'd love to get along."
As far as I'm concerned, I think Diona and I got closer, but I don't know what you think over there. Because of Diona's "Last Brave" personality, I know she's never the kind of kid who'd make someone else sick, and I think she's forgiving me some mind--
Haha, laughing to delude me, speaking of getting along, and turning back to Lukersch.
"Lukersch got along with Mr. Arnold, didn't he?
That's what I said, I watched Arnold. That makes me laugh unexpectedly because it's something that makes us both look subtle. They had a very similar look, even though it was an indescribable look, not that it was an unpleasant face, but something stuck in their throats.
"We just re-recognized each other, and I don't remember getting along like you guys"
Arnold's voice, who replied so, felt softer than usual.
- The day of the departure of Lustu's people to the city is approaching with a moment.
Since completing the prototype, I have been conducting experiments in safety anyway. Even when I say experiment, I repeat the primitive method of asking people who have given their consent after explaining the circumstances to drink it, or to try various things such as their skin and leaves.
From then until today, there have been no anomalies in Arnold's body. The same goes for the people who followed me to the experiment. Because of this, I am wondering if there is any harm to the human body, but fulfill it.
- I was supposed to interrupt the training ground for the Chevalier Knights today and ask the new mage Flor to drink the prototype. I heard rumors from somewhere that I was experimenting with a new drug, and Vake bought me some help.
It was Flor and Vake who welcomed me to the training ground. I'm also sorry I let you take too much time, so if you hand me the greeting and the prototype there, Flor will include it in his mouth without any hesitation.
"... what do you say?
Flor smiled and answered the query.
"Yeah, it looks fine"
Relax. No one has complained about the anomaly before, but still this moment makes me nervous.
I received an empty container from Flor and bowed my head.
"Good! Thank you for your cooperation."
"I wish I could have helped."
Vake crouched and laughed as he peered into my face. He always talks to me, gazing at me.
Vake offered to drink the prototype this time, too, but I refrained from doing that. I ostensibly said no for not being able to take responsibility for anything to happen to the Knights Commander who is not yet in good shape, but the real reason is "I wanted Flor to drink it".
Flor is the "Last Brave" main edition, a magician whose body is taken over by the Demon King. I thought if I let him take the power of the brave once into his body, it would be so-called exorcism.
The most certainty is nowhere else, it's just an idea of mine. Besides, it was appreciated in making sure he was safe to have him drink the prototype with strong magic.
- And the grin inadvertently disappears from Vake's expression.
"... example experiments, are you going too, miss?
"Well, does that mean that Mr. Vake will follow you, too?"
If asked, Vake answers with a look like he chewed up a bitter bug.
"Oh. Even so, the Knights you can follow are about to count. Half the way up there... sorry."
On holiday, I could naturally say that I would not feel well above if I asked to use the help of the Knights for reasons that did not have a thump. I heard Arnold complained several times and now I can use the help of some of the Knights - but I'm just thankful you're here. There's nothing like him apologizing.
I shook my head loudly and answered.
"No, it's comforting. Best wishes for the day."
"Oh. I'm sure you'll be fine."
Vake's words have power. If he laughs that he's okay, I feel like he's really okay.
I caught another glimpse of Flor and I bowed my head and walked away from the training ground, even though it didn't seem particularly strange.
I have another scheduled experiment with the prototype today. The place is my mixing room. We can still afford it until the promised time, but we walk down the hall early enough to get ready. And then I went into the conditioning room - the moment, the space in front of Guru distorted and Diona appeared.
"Master Laura."
"Di, mr. Diona!
I rush over to her surprised by the sudden visit. Then Diona smiled and opened her mouth.
"This is a message from Lienhardt. The prototype I received is very useful as a weapon. Thanks for this."
It was probably handmade cookies and something cutely wrapped. I was relieved by the phrase that it was useful, while receiving them. Apparently, there's no particular trouble.
"It also seemed to depend on the intensity of the light's power to include damage to demons. And I hear there was no particular sequelae if I accidentally fell on my hands or feet."
Listen to Diona's concise and understandable report. Although it was a roughly as expected report, I am very grateful that you share it this way because I have not been certain of its effectiveness against demons.
"It could also be used as an attack on distant demons if bracketed in arrows. Oh, and the potency may fall over time. This hasn't been proven yet."
"You're verifying a lot. Thank you."
"I'm using it, of course."
I look tired seeping into Diona's face smiling modestly, and I worry even as I worry about how far I can get in. Will they be busy with a lot of preparation, but will demonic problems also arise and they rest properly?
"Are you okay, the city of Lustu?"
Ask, Diona clouded her expression. And after looking around for a moment and exploring the signs, he dives into his voice and ears.
"Probably, though. The Demon King is somehow exploring this movement in Elvira."
"What?"
"Since I greeted Master Elvira, demons have wandered around us. It may be coincidence, but out of her body, the Demon King may be giving some instructions to his men..."
I looked at Diona with my eyes round to my surprise, but it wasn't an impossible story to think about.
Consciousness is not taken over by the Demon King, but the Demon King does exist in Elvira. So it's no surprise that he's telling his men's demons in some way that he's the one who recognizes and eliminates Diona's faces through Elvira's eyes.
- Yes, I recall. The news came in that Elvira had been targeted by demons, and Arnold had left the king's capital in a hurry. It is quite possible that the Demon King is trying to make some contact with the demon in Elvira.
"There's a good chance there's a demonic raid that day. But I will protect Lawra and the others."
That's what I said. Diona was Rin, honestly cool, what a thought.
- But if you don't want to meet Elvira, you shouldn't stay long. Because she'll be visiting here soon.
Tonight Elvira and Mr. Merzedes, as well as your master, were promised a visit to the mixing room. It's Mr. Merzedes who will drink the prototype this time, but Elvira wasted a lot of time wanting to go with him - and when he gets only Mr. Merzedes, who usually takes care of him, to come to it, Elvira will be alone unless he deposits it with someone - his master has asked me to be present because he wants to see the prototype.
"Thank you. But maybe we should go fast. Elvira will be here soon."
Much to my words. Diona rounds her eyes. And he bowed his head like he was in a panic,
"I'll let you know if anything happens again"
Leaving that word, Diona turned it off by making sure that she dissolved herself in the air.
Diona walks away and then starts getting ready. After a long time, the door to the mixing room was knocked.
Open the door from the inside. That way the brunette girl - Elvira stood there in Jen royalty. I feel the shadow of "Last Brave" in that confident attitude and my mouth angle rises unexpectedly.
"Laura!"
"Good evening, Laura"
"Oh, how are you, Laura"
"Good evening, Elvira, Mr. Merzedes, Master"
Elvira, Mr. Merzedes, came into the conditioning room in the order of your master.
As the sun is already falling a lot, I will ask Mr Merzedes to sit down quickly and hand over the container there with a report on recent developments as well. That way she drank in a flowing motion without any hesitation.
"What do you say, Mr. Merzedes?
"Yeah, it looks fine."
Mr. Merzedes laughs beautifully. She thanked him with a breath of relief because she was not feeling compelled.
The master, who looked intrigued to see how it was going, reaches for another container. And oh, my God.
"None, neither do I."
He murmured with a light voice to sing so, and included the prototype in his mouth.
Suddenly I was surprised and solidified for a few moments, but I reached out to my master in a hurry.
"Oh, master!
But already after the master had finished including it in his mouth, he could see his throat up and down to move his mouth against it to taste it, and then slowly swallow it. And
"Hmm, looks fine."
And so on and so on and so on. I didn't see any particular abnormality as the words said, but the relief and tiredness pushed me closer and closer and I dropped my shoulder.
It's not like your master has great anxiety about drinking. But this time, Mr. Merzedes was promising one drink, and your master just followed me wanting a tour. I panicked about this too because the early story wasn't getting my mind ready in advance.
"Give me a break, it's bad for the heart..."
"Why don't you see if you can stand the old man's body?"
"Maybe so..."
Don't do anything similar to Arnold, say and the word swallows. Although the liver has cooled, there are naturally some things that your master also thinks about autopsy and its treatment. I made no further mention and decided to be happy that her body was safe.
"Anyway, I wish there was nothing"
He smiles so bitterly and starts to clear the container. Mr. Merzedes also helped me clean up after noting a joke about "it's not about reducing the life expectancy of my apprentice" to his master.
Elvira pinched her mouth as she watched the way it was all this time quietly.
"Can't I drink that?
at once. But he answered with a grin, lest he should understand it.
"I wonder if Elvira is still a little further away from having a drink"
Elvira swelled her cheeks boringly to my answer. I guess I miss only one person getting into the subject.
Elvira has been feeling much calmer lately here. Looks like you're having a peaceful and enjoyable day with Mr. Merzedes. But this peace is only temporary, and her body is nestled with demon kings. We must not stop here to save Elvira fundamentally.
"The next time you go to the city of that silver-haired woman, Laura will follow you along, won't she?
Silver-haired woman - that would be about Diona.
I snort. That way Elvira laughed as if she was relieved.
"Then don't worry"
I'm not talking about Elvira in detail. I just might have found a cure for a disease that afflicts her, I'm telling her I'm going to Diona's city for that.
But Elvira is a smart kid. I'm probably realizing that I have something nestled in me that's not like a normal disease. And to the fact that the next treatment is not the same as before. So you care about Arnold and me and pretend you don't notice anything.
She's smart and sweet. I wanted to save the loving girl in front of me by skipping all those reasons because she's my favorite character in "Last Brave," or because she's the future hero of this world.
