I was relieved to defeat Lindvlm. Was Walnut powerless, fluttering and about to collapse on the spot, but someone propped Walnut from behind him.

"It's okay...? Rumi......?

Walnut looked back in surprise and stood with a worrying look on Shino's face, whose bright white hair had become dirty with smoke.

"I'm fine. Better than that! You're safe!

"Mmm...... It hurt... but before I could beat him to the ground... because it got windy"

Apparently Shino used 'Windsoul' before he was beaten to the ground.

"Oh well, I'm glad you're safe anyway! Then we have to go and help the Adventurers defend their guild."

Yes, where the walnut was about to walk out. When the walnut fluttered without force in his leg, he laid one knee on the ground.

"Rumi......! A little... some rest...? Right...?

"I want to go fast... I don't know what else to do with my feet in this condition..."

"Mmm...... In the meantime... Shino protects..."

"Thank you Shino"

That's how Walnut, with the debris on his back and his hips down, exhaled loudly and closed his eyes.

(Takumi…. It's okay...... right? I hear Mr. Ars is giving me a lookout too... Please... please... stay safe...)

Yes, while wishing Takumi well, it was not long after Walnut began his break that the demons of the city suddenly disappeared, just as they did during Astrea's defense battle.

Whoa, whoa.

"Ha... ha... Is this...?

Blackened and shining gemstone by Shadow II, Flying Takumi, not knowing where he was, his weakness had struck his whole body just before because he was sucked by his demon knife, a massive amount of magic by an orange infarct, and he was on one knee and rocking his shoulders up and down.

And when Takumi looked around, she realized she was in a strange forest.

"Takumi! Are you ok!?

Takumi looked back as her voice spoke, and there stood Sola staring at her own face with a worried face.

Takumi opened her eyes and raised her surprise, not even thinking she had been flown to Sola.

"Sola!? Why even Sola...?

"I... Touch Takumi just before Takumi and the black gems hit each other..."

Takumi stroked Sora's head bending over with a sorry look on her face to forgive her.

(Does that mean one citrus...? I need you to stay safe...)

Clouding his expression, Takumi noticed footsteps coming closer to us at the same time as he slowly rose.

"Sola. Behind me..."

"Yes..."

Takumi moved Sola behind herself, frightened by unusual signs, and when she turned to the slowly approaching footsteps and erected an orange infarct, she sharpened her nerves so that she could concentrate and respond to whatever came.

(I won't let Sola touch a finger...)

Then from among the trees, in the darkness, he appeared.

"Are you Kiryu Takumi..."

With that grunt, he was about a hundred and eighty centimeters tall, and a knight appeared on foot wearing black armor all over his body with a wave of black knife on his hips.

"Who...? What about you?"

When Takumi asked him that while he was on guard, the black knight replied with a slight squeaky voice because of the armor on his head.

"Demon General Amon...... That's my name."

And Amon, who replied so, accidentally spoke to Takumi without turning his back on Takumi and looking back.

"Follow me. We're moving to a big place."

"What if I say no?

…… You don't want to get the kid behind you, do you?

Answering that without looking back to Takumi, Amon walked out.

(What... what is different from an enemy we have met before... Besides, you seem pretty confident in your arms about turning your back on your enemies...)

Takumi, who exhaled once loudly when she couldn't even think about it, crouched down and gazed at Sora when she felt like she was ready for something for a moment.

"Sola, you run away. From what he feels, if I lose, I might get away with it alive."

Sora saw her eyes shaking anxiously and unable to move. Takumi laughed small and gently slapped Sora on the head twice.

"It's okay. I'll let you win. You think I'm gonna lose?

I asked Sora yes in a joke mix, but Sora leaned over silently.

"Ha... It's hard in there not to deny it...... Well, he's definitely gonna be tough on digits."

Still unresponsive, Takumi suddenly got a serious look at Sola, grabbing both of Sola's shoulders and forcing her to look at each other.

"Run, Sola. To be honest, I find it hard to win. So...... Just live and tell. If I win, I'll make sure everyone gets back to me."

You can no longer stand Takumi's words, at last Sora turned silently with tears pompous, turning her back on Takumi and running away somewhere.

And Takumi stood up slowly as she stroked her chest down that Sola had honestly escaped.

(Well... Shall I put my whole body to bear with me...)

With a small smile on his mouth, Takumi began to walk after Demon General Ammon's back.
