The massive sorcery battle Magics War came to a successful end. The winning team became our team: Olgren.

It was really a critical battle.

Last offense. When I was outmaneuvering Lucas-Forst's offense, I couldn't even afford to be aware of the time because it was the best I could do by protecting Ariane... he had two seconds left.

That moment Ariane managed to crawl and stick the flag up.

If we were two seconds behind, we would have missed the win. To be honest, when Ariane fell at her limit, she was ready.

There may be a chance of defeat like this.

At the end of the day, I'll take the flag or not. Should I stick the flag out even if I can't, instead of leaving it to Ariane?

There was such a flash of complexity, but Ariane, who was in sight with a chillary, kept crawling when she could put a flag on her mouth.

I was diligently, just straight, looking ahead.

I have no desire to lose.

Whatever it looked like, I could feel the will to win it.

Seeing that, I was convinced.

This last offense, whatever the consequences, is trying to protect her. Seeing that hard work, I decided to do everything in my power to confront Lucas-Forst.

And when she stuck the flag on her own, a loud siren sounded...

"Huh... Huh... Huh... Ugh... ho..."

Get on your knees on the spot. Apparently, Lucas-Forst was quite worn out thanks to Ariane's inherent magic, Origin.

But the last obsessive sword trident was so overwhelming that it didn't make you feel it.

Even though I was taking damage, the magic realm was safe. As a result, multiple ice swords could be deployed to critically defend them. Perhaps, if he had been the mainland, he would have been broken through.

We won the victory by intertwining a variety of factors.

I also saw Amelia fall on that spot. Probably used causal butterflies (butterfly effects) beyond their limits to seal Lucas-Forst's [secret sword], as maneuvered.

With that effort of hers, she won this victory.

It was thanks to everyone's efforts that we were able to reach the victory.

"... you lose."

Slowly approaching. His expression like that said he lost, but it was something sunny somewhere.

"It was a really good game"

Spin words. That was a sincere thought.

"Right. I fought for real until the end, too... but you seemed better at one. It was a really good team, including you."

"I'm afraid. But I think that's the same for you. Albert to Evie. Both of them, they were well trained. And I was amazed at Albert's unique magic, Origin."

"As for this one, so I wanted to make you non-combatant somehow, but I knew it would be difficult. Both of them, knowing that, put all their efforts into buying time. I just really appreciate it."

Until now, the impression was that he was a mechanical, calmly deposited person. But I felt that word directed at Evi and Albert was truly heartfelt gratitude.

Smiling tenderly, he has reached this way.

"Thank you. It's been a great experience to be able to fight as a team."

"Welcome."

Shake hands. Not a big hand, but it was thick and hard. The footprint of his efforts was the moment when he understood only a little.

"But I still want a one-on-one fight. Again, I'm looking forward to Magics Chevalier next year's Magic Swordsman competition."

"Yes, myself, I look forward to it"

So he went away from the spot with a refreshment.

Already in the castle, the ambulance seems to be rushing in and not needing to head back to the three falling down.

That's how I turn to Ariane, who's falling in on the spot.

"Ariane."

Speak up. He seemed to be already in tears, and his face seemed full of joy and emotion.

"Ray... we won... we did..."

I held her gently when I managed to get up on the spot. I was alone, and at the end of the day, you did your best.

Really, I was thankful for Ariane's such hard work.

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

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

"Even if I knew. Good luck."

"Ugh... wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!

Embrace Ariane in tears. So far, it must have been a really harsh journey.

On the last offense, he carried the flag until he crawled on me.

I'm sure it would have been hard. There would have been moments when I wanted to give up.

But Ariane accomplished it to the end. Trust me, you fought for me. Without giving up, he moved on.

I was more than happy about that.

This victory was achieved by the three of us.

Closing ceremony, where all the teams that competed in this tournament were lined up. That's how the semi-finalist team: Forst is honored and we rise to the stage, the last team to win.

Amelia seems to be lighter injured than she looks and is now walking securely on her own feet. Ariane, on the other hand, seems to have really run out of everything and can't stand on her own feet.

But I definitely want to be at the closing ceremony, so I'm standing here in a way that Amelia and I support from the left and right.

She wrapped a bandage around her head and body and looked painful but still smiled very happily.

"Magics War, a massive sorcery battle, the winner is Team: Olgren. Congratulations again on winning."

Mr. Abby smiles at Nicole and sends us each a badge that is a testament to our victory. Upon receiving it, he was to receive the trophy afterwards.

Of course, Ariane is the leader of the team.

"Thank you very much."

The arm seems to manage to rise, and she receives it.

And when I lifted it up like it was in heaven, I got a huge number of applauses from the audience.

"Oh my goodness!

"That was amazing!

"Congratulations -! That was amazing. Yo!

"It was really the best game ever -! Thanks!"

Many applause, and even cheer, Ariane weeps slightly, but waves at it with a grudge to respond to it.

Me and Amelia also responded by waving.

"Well. Today's tournament was my first attempt and there would have been a lot of difficulties. But I'm really glad we ended up safe like this. Also, the teams that joined us were all very highly skilled. At this rate, I want you to be incisive. That's all from me."

Finally, the massive sorcery battle, Magics War, was to be successfully ended.

"That's..."

As we tried to get out of the circular arena Colosseum, Evi and Albert were waiting there. Now, Ariane would treat him in a hospital, which was accompanied by Amelia.

I'm going, too, like, "I'm fine by myself. Ray will still have someone to talk to, won't he? He said," This is how I came to the two of you.

They seemed to be bandaged everywhere, but they both seemed to be able to stand firmly on their own feet.

"Ray. Thanks, it was a good game. I lost, but I have no regrets."

"Albert. Right...... welcome, thank you so much. It was a good game."

Shake hands. Next, Evie shows her white teeth, as Nica always does, and asks for a handshake with those big thick hands.

"Ray! I knew you were strong...... that was really awesome! Me and Albert thought we might be able to win... but it looks like we're still here! We're gonna build more muscle next time and then we're gonna come to the game!

"Oh. Right. They were both great muscles."

Gashy grabs that big hand. Evi's muscles were still great. But I didn't know I was still going for a high...... I'm really surprised at that upliftment.

And I tell them what I think.

"Both of you, let me thank you again. I'm so glad we got to fight in the finals. I've never had the opportunity to have such an incision with my friends. So this tournament has always been fun. My heart was leaping. I'm so glad you and I could be friends. Thanks, Evie, Albert"

Tell them what you sincerely thought.

Until now, I've had more comrades on my side than friends. Of course, all of our comrades are important people.

But it was also really irreplaceable for me to incite with friends the same age.

So I honestly revealed my mood.

"No, it's me... let me thank you"

Albert leans down just a little bit, continuing the conversation.

"I was able to get this far because I was able to meet Ray. No, it's not just Ray. To my other friends, it was only because I met... that I could look back at myself and move on. Thank you both."

It was a sunny look. Think about it, meeting Albert wasn't a good thing. But I guess now he really has grown up a lot, saving himself.

That's what I found out when I saw you fight that death.

Yes, we will continue to elevate each other.

"Me, too! Because I met the two of you, and this muscle got even bigger too! Hehe, I can light it up a bit but thanks!

Yes, we can never live alone. This is how our loved ones move forward because they have friends.

"All right! See you all in the muscle again! Let's go, Ray! Albert!"

"" Oops!!

And we left the venue behind.

I'm sure that's probably the most heartfelt laughing moment ever...

"Amelia. Thank you for taking the time to accompany us."

"It's okay. I was going to the hospital, too."

Now I was asleep in bed just because I was going to be in the lab. I'm really glad Amelia escorted me... to greed you...

"I thought you wanted Ray to come too. Now."

And I'm going to say something as if Amelia had read my mind. Oddly enough, that's in the middle, so I get as upset as I want.

I try to hide it, but it still seems difficult now that I realize it.

"Huh... Huh!? Beh, nothing, no, no, that's not true!!

"Huh. Well...... good. I've known Ariane was attracted to Ray for a long time."

"Ha... Huh!!?

You've known for a long time!!?

Amelia noticed this feeling before I realized it!!?

"I knew it, right? But I think I finally realized how I felt."

"Oh... that's... eh!

Some want to deny it. Because I knew Amelia liked Ray.

I can't believe I'm going to like that like this later... I don't feel like a disobedience.

But still... I like Ray. It is true that I am attracted to him. So I decided to tell Amelia clearly.

"Yes... it is. I like Ray. That's all it's clear."

"Oh well. Then we're rivals in love."

"Love rivals......?

"Yep. 'Cause I didn't like the same person."

"Amelia, are you..."

When she smiled gently, she reached out to me. Can I hold on to that, I'm slightly lost... but Amelia will try to force me to attract you and touch this hand.

"Ariane, there's nothing wrong with you that doesn't draw attention to me. Because Ray is a very attractive person. I knew this would happen. You had Ray touch you, too, didn't you? To that heart."

"... sounds like a prospect. Yeah. I'll admit it. And you are. From now on, as a competitor in love, I'm going to compete with Amelia. Wow!!

"Hehe. Otherwise, you don't look like Ariane."

And as the two of us laughed at each other, we heard voices coming from the door.

"─ Oh. You're telling a very interesting story."

What a... Rebecca seniors. She also knows that she likes Ray. And above all, is its seriousness equal to Amelia's... no, is there any more obsession?

Anyway, I think it's very bad that they asked me what I'm talking about right now......

"I knew I thought so, too. He said if you were that close to Ray, this would happen."

"Yeah, yeah. I've always thought so, too."

Apparently, the two are perfectly in tune and willing to engage on the spot.

"So, may I tell you more about Mr. Ray's trip to his parents' house?

I've known about Senior Rebecca for a long time. Age is two things up, but it's like a childhood friend.

She smiles so beautifully like that. That hasn't changed for a long time.

Kay, but... why?

I'm so scared of this smile right now.

I'm laughing. Sure, I'm narrowing my eyes and smiling nicely. But those eyes are never laughing. It's like peeking into the abyss as well...

- Hi-hi, hi-no-no!

If you're trembling in too much fear by yourself, Amelia will chase you further.

"Oh, yeah! I need to hear it right, too! Ariane, talk to me!

"Ah, haha..."

I don't care anymore. If this happens, I'll have to tell you everything.

Then we talked, as if we were old times, amicably between the three of us.

What's fascinating about Ray, on the contrary, Ray is too blunt to move on, etc. We talked a lot.

Oh. I knew it, I knew it.

Thanks to Ray, we were able to grow. Because Ray was on our side, we could laugh at each other again.

I'm not the only one with him. I'm sure you're changing a lot of people.

"Oh, my God! Mr. Ray is thinking of me! I didn't lose to Mr. Amelia. Yo!

"Hmm! My God, I'm gonna live with Ray! It's like a real couple!

"That story again is awesome! How long have you been saying the same thing?

"I won't say it all the time. Huh!

Apparently, if you realize it, Seniors Amelia and Rebecca were worthless of their age and the two of them were having a verbal fight.

We've both really changed. Until now we have been imprisoned by the destiny of the aristocracy. And I accepted that, as if it were a curse.

What about now?

Indeed, the situation remains the same. We are no stranger to being the Lady of the Three Nobles no matter how far we go.

But I can't believe the world just looks so vibrant and beautiful with Ray.

Oh, he's a strange man, really.

"Hehe..."

I smile.

That's crazy. Yeah, that's very strange.

How could we not have ever enjoyed such a trivial routine? I can't believe he's changed so much just having one.

Really, that's a funny story.

"Mm... Ariane says, spare smile!

"Mmmm! You don't think there's a lead that me and Amelia don't know...... Huh!!?

"Hehe. As a matter of fact, I had Ray behave like a hand cook in front of me..."

"" ─ Ku, learn more!!

Right.

Let's talk about it. More, more, I suppose we should talk. This is how we will touch each other's minds.

We are friends. It's irreplaceable, we're friends.

What awaits you at the end of this friendship?

I'm sure you'll find out in the future ahead.

Looking out through the window with chillies, it was snowing deep (shin).

Snow scenery. As if, wearing snow makeup, the world will stain white.

Soon, the choir festival will be approaching.

What do I think in a white world? With Ray, can we move on?

No. I'm sure you do.

One wave of turmoil, no doubt about it.

But I'm sure that's also an accessory to youth.

Let's move on.

I will continue to work with my loved ones.
