"Ha... ha... ha..."

The bright white world gradually regains its color.

Two people on the ground. Evi's battle with Albert was settled safely.

I couldn't hide my surprise in the boulder for White Reverse, a white night inversion that is Albert's inherent magic Origin, but I was still better at it.

Sure, I can understand.

The difference between our strengths would be even narrower under circumstances where we cannot use magic. With that in mind, I'm sure we've rolled out the game so far. Sure, it doesn't make sense for me to show this in the first round or something.

It is only by using it in this final round that the trump card will make sense.

We just fist each other. The battle was purely heartwarming. Really, to both of you, I just have to thank you.

"─ Thank you. It was a fun fight."

That's how I found the flag exactly where I expected it to go. If you grab that right away, all you have to do is take this outside. The rest of the time, I've already cut fifteen minutes.

Even though we still have some leeway in time, depending on the circumstances of the battle between Amelia and Ariane, we don't know if we can win.

Trying to keep going down the stairs, trying to move on... but there was Albert in front of me who managed to get up.

I thought I'd passed out completely, but I'm gonna stand up on the spot.

I wasn't expecting Albert to get up here.

Completely flesh should be screaming. Besides, the use of White Reverse, a daytime inversion, should make the magic realm pretty bad. Besides, I definitely lost my temper and should have turned down my consciousness.

I made sure of that.

The flesh and spirit have already rubbed off. Limits are also limits.

Even so, Albert stands up with only his energy.

I don't get alarmed when I see how worn out I am. Just like earlier, sit back... but, hey, things are not right.

"Stay standing, are you fainting..."

Yes. Albert was letting go of that consciousness at the same time he stood up.

Even if it were to let go of consciousness, I guess his flesh would never have admitted defeat.

Coming this far, I honestly admire its indomitable will.

Just stand still, standing up like a stone statue on the spot is the crystal of his hard work and obsession.

I had no pity for Albert. It was just a pale pile of victories, just like previous duels.

I didn't think anything of it before. But why now?

Some of me honestly think I'm happy with Albert's growth.

The final place we reached, incidentally to each other. So we fought each other with all our might. So I had no regrets anymore. I'm sure that's the same for Evie and Albert.

Really, I'm blessed with friends. I never thought we'd get along like this for real and incisive.

On the spot, give a toast to both of them. That was with all the respect you fought so far.

That's how I walked downstairs.

"Both of you, the flag has taken away. Huh! All you have to do is run down!!

Ray's voice echoes. Hearing that, me and Amelia would immediately move on to action… Amelia was on the spot, falling in.

I want to help...... but when she managed to raise her face, she said this at the end with a faint voice.

"Wah... about me, okay... with Ray... go"

Having heard those words, I've already decided to be ready.

I want to rush over to Amelia right away. Because Amelia is the reason that I stand. But she wants to move on. Then it would be a companion who would inherit that will.

This is more advantageous to see and grasp the current situation.

Lucas-Forst is full of creativity. Seems to have prevented my attack, but the damage looks pretty much in there.

On the other hand, I am as damaging as or more than he is.

Speaking of Ray, he seems pretty wounded too, but he still looked like he could move. Perhaps the most ray of these will be able to move.

"Ariane!! I'll take care of the rest!!

That's how Ray comes to my side and transfers the flag. At the same time, he has been passing it on terminally.

"I'll keep him down. I need Ariane to get the flag out of here."

"... I see."

The truth is, I'll fight with you! I just wanted to say.

But I am not foolish enough to understand Ray's words.

He believes me. If I were you, I'd take the flag outside and win the championship.

Someone has no choice but to suppress Lucas-Forst than to be in this situation. I'm sure it's impossible for me. We have no choice but to leave this place to Ray.

And the victory or loss of this battle was left to me.

"─ Go!! Run!!

If you look at Ray's back in a chill, you walk away trying to abandon him as he is. We've already run out enough time left.

Critical, really critical in time or not.

And from behind, Lucas-Folst managed to stop me, and only that overwhelming pressure, Pressure, could tell.

I also know that Ray has managed to prevent such an attack on him.

─ ─ I want to turn around and fight with Ray.

I swallow that feeling all the time, and I just have to run. Now I can only run. Perhaps fighting with Ray will definitely be a leg wrap.

"I'll never miss it."

"... uuuuuuuuuuu!!!

Apparently, stopping perfectly on the spot is close enough to hear the voice behind even the boulder rays being difficult.

In the meantime, I believe in Ray and just keep walking through this castle.

Run, run, run through, keep walking!!

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

Ouch. Ouch. Ouch.

My body is screaming.

I want to stop now.

I want to give up now.

I've already used the original magic with all my strength, so be honest... I was already meeting my limits before I could. Beyond the limit, I just keep running now.

Hot magic area as if it were burning on a scorching body. Your body will not stop bleeding, including a slight self-destruction. It doesn't wipe the blood that runs out, it just walks away.

The weak part of my heart, it whispers.

Give me this far and no one will complain if I give up. Instead, he praises me for doing well.

Wouldn't it be okay if I gave up here?

If you stop here, I'm sure no one will blame you.

But I...

"Ha... ha... I... I will never lose. Awwwwww!!!

Roar.

Desperately absurd your voice so you can't beat yourself. Already this is a battle with yourself.

While Ray's holding me back, all I have to do is take the flag outside without my time limit. That way, we can win.

That's all it is, but this weak heart shakes.

I'm weak. I'm a very weak person.

Seeking the ideal maiden, she keeps making herself look strong, trying to be noble, but if she gets cornered, that haunted skin will peel off lightly.

─ ─ But heh!! It's more important to embrace your weak self and move on!

Yeah. I know. I said I was just a weak person. But at the same time, I am strong. I do exist trying to be strong, too.

─ ─ Overall back.

An ideal maiden is definitely referring to a human being who accepts everything, combining both of them. I'm sure Ray is no exception. Even he showed me his weakness.

Human beings are weak. But you can try to stay strong.

That must be the [maiden] I seek!!

"Ha... ha... ha... and a little! A little more!!

I saw it. When I reached the dance floor on the ground floor, I saw the view outside at the end of that gaze.

And I can't afford to care about how much time I have left.

It's just that if we stick the flag in that place, our victory will be confirmed.

- Run!

─ ─ Run out!!

─ ─ Running through!!!

I won, I won!! Give me this far and we will be the winners!!

and that moment when I was convinced of the victory.

About, and my body falls in.

"Ah..........................................................................................................................."

Limits.

No matter how much you want to move forward with your heart, this body will take its limits mercilessly. Ray still manages to fight in the back. It's a really critical place, and it's pressed and fastened.

I know Ray is pretty worn out too. That's what you'll hear in his hard working voice.

Leave Amelia on that spot and let Ray protect you, here... you can't let me give up...!!

We still have to move on!!

"Gu, uuuuuuuuuu!! Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!!!

I chewed the flag thoroughly with my teeth when I could put it in my mouth.

That's how we manage to crawl and move on.

If we get this far, I don't mind the outside world at all.

Just win.

Almost there, because the winner is right in front of you.

I inherit all my thoughts, everyone's will. But to the extent that my legs stopped moving, it wasn't me who gave up!!

My maiden will never give up!!

"Grrrrr!!

I crawled, I crawled, I crawled-- I managed to get in place, finally, finally... I got there.

"─ Now, that's a winner!!!

Moving the flag on to my right hand, I pushed it straight to the spot.

At that moment, a loud siren echoed the occasion.

"─ The winner is Team: Olgren"

I won...? I won...? I made it...?

That's not misheard or anything like that. This ear undoubtedly heard the announcement that our team had won.

I, we prevailed. We won.

Winner. I won.

"Ugh... Ugh... Ugh..."

Tears, lots of tears. I can't move any more, I just cry heartlessly when I'm big on the spot.

The body is taking its limits so far. You can't move anymore. Still, I got there alone.

But that's because Amelia and Ray supported me. If it weren't for the two of us, I would have definitely given up. Two thoughts pushed me forward.

I can assure you. Absolutely no one could get to this place.

That's how when I was crying by myself, Ray, who wore me out, came near me. You must have really fought so hard for me. Like me or more, Ray was hurt.

As he bleeds out of his right arm, try to contain it. He gently lowers his back to his side.

"Ariane."

"Ray... I won... I did, we did..."

"Oh. Thank you so much for your hard work to the end"

that moment. I could hug Ray out of my mind, even though I thought my body wouldn't move anymore. That must have been what inner love made me do.

Touching his body brings even more tears.

"Yeah......! Yeah.........! I did my best...

"Even if I knew. Good luck. Thanks, Ariane."

"Ugh... wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!

Ray graciously hugs me and my tears drop out of nowhere.

Oh. I knew I would, again.

That this love heart was the great driving force.

Thank you, Ray.

Because I fell in love with you and admired you, this is how I was able to accomplish it.

Without Ray, I'm sure I would have stayed alone the whole time. I don't think I could even catch up with Amelia, I just pretended to be strong.

I am here because of Ray. Because I was able to meet Ray, because he gave me so many things, he was able to fight without giving up until the end.

Thank you, Ray. I'm really happy to meet you.

And I love you so much.
