Early morning.

Once the sun showed up from the horizon, a few hours later, me and Firia were about to leave the safe house.

"Elek, just in case they find you, run away."

"Don't rush it though. It's important to have a normal mind."

"Yeah. Both of you...... be careful"

Elek says as he looks at our faces.

But I kind of feel like Elek's not well...

"Don't worry, you saw my muscles, right? Leave it to me."

"Yeah……………."

I'll try to encourage it, but it doesn't even seem to have worked.

"If you need anything, say it. Aren't we friends?"

Phyllia says as she drops her hips and exchanges her gaze with Elek.

And Elek put his lips around him, and said to him, "What is it?"

"... hey, you're really okay, aren't you? Neither of you... are you going to die or not?

Saying so, Elek reaches out his hand weakly to Phyllia.

His hands were gently enveloped by Phyllia's hands.

"Then let's promise."

"…… Promise?

Phyllia laughs gently at Elek for expressions such as not sure.

"Yes. Me and Mr. Yuri will always defeat Rosetta and bring the people of this country back to normal - I swear to God Wind and myself, I promise. If you can't, you can make Yuri your favorite, Elek."

"I'll take care of it."

You used me for your betting materials, naturally.

"Isn't that nice, because it makes you absolutely successful.... or are you not sure?

Feelia with a slightly raised eyebrow and provocative expression.

Not quite, but you're absolutely right.

"Right, that's fine. I swear on my muscles, too. I swear on my muscles. I will never fail. Elek, if you fail, you can like me!

I open my hands to Elek.

"…… Pfft!

After erupting unexpectedly, Elek finally returned to his original expression.

I'm relieved to say good. In front of me, Elek looks like an evil hungry ghost and says, with one finger pinned.

"So if you fail, Yuri is forbidden to say muscle?

"…… hey Phyllia, you'll never lose again"

"Then how about a ban on saying muscle even if you succeed?

"Oh, that's good!

"Why? Yikes!

There's no escape!

Looking at me angry, Elek and Feelia laugh with their bellies.

You two are playing with me......!

"Both of you, good luck! Save this country. I'll do my best!

"Ooh!"

"Yes, I'll take care of it"

With a bright face as usual, Elek dropped us off leaving the safe house.

Break up with Elek and head to the National Palace.

I don't use the back street because I don't have Elek.

If you go the wrong way, you'll have to defeat the people you've been chasing.

Before I promised Elek, I don't want to get the injured out as much as possible.

But when I use the table, it really caught my eye.

We approached the palace as we fled the people.

"Phyllia, here we are."

"Looks like it."

First gate, the National Army.

Five or so of those who distract themselves from the top of the B rank to the bottom of the A rank hold us back.

The smaller number than before is probably because they were searching a wide range in pairs of five.

Four soldiers of the National Army who have confirmed us turn to us, and one is somewhat distracted behind us.

"Mr. Yuri. The man in the back has it. It's a magic trick that tells him where he is. Looks like they're supposed to use it when they find the intruder."

I see. Does that mean our place is out of place early?

"Then let's get these guys cleaned up and go first."

"Yes."

Filia uses wind magic.

The less lethal spherical wind magic flew towards one of the soldiers, but was prevented by water magic.

Soldiers use their magic to attack.

I played it with my fist and hit one of them in the stomach showing a gap after the magic was activated.

But the soldier didn't fall, and on the other hand, he wouldn't let go by holding onto my arm, which he hit him with.

The magic of the other soldiers who aimed there strikes me.

I take them all in my body.

Again, it was not intact, and the pain ran a little on my body. It's an attack that you can see is well trained.

"Chip, it's not easy to fight this level of opponent."

However, if someone of A-rank equivalent strength is on Rosetta's side during the battle with Rosetta, a sinner, he can't do anything about it.

If we don't lose our minds now, we'll be in trouble later.

"Let's give it a little more strength. If you get hurt a little bit, I'll fix it."

Phyllia gives such instructions as she prevents the magic of the soldiers with fire magic.

"Okay."

I seriously move, take the back of one of the soldiers, and put a knife in the back of my neck.

The soldier said, "Gah! I said," I lost my mind.

You managed to handle it without getting hurt.

Seeing it, Phyllia had also activated "Wind God" to stun her opponent with wind magic.

Apparently, I've got just the right amount of effort.

"Mr. Yuri, five people are coming from over here!

"This way too!

It's springing up like a walnut...!

I travel at high speed and repeat my knife.

When I tried to knock the fourth person down with the same procedure, a chill ran down my spine, and I pulled myself back.

Huge, sharp thorns protruded from the back of the soldier's man.

Anyway, if I were serious, I'd probably have taken a lot of damage if I'd stayed that way right now.

Is it the type of ability that automatically protects itself depending on the person's proximity? It's a counterattack I honestly didn't expect.

"Ebb. I can't be alarmed."

I can't believe I lost my common sense when I was living in the woods. Think a little bit more about your opponent's abilities and fight them. Uh.

Those who cannot adapt quickly to the environment are not called the strong.

I defeat him with a series of pistol fists. The man fell to the ground spitting blood.

I may have done a little scratching, but there is no danger to my life, so there will be no problem.

Once again, I mowed the consciousness of the soldiers with my knife, taking the magical concentrated fire from time to time, sometimes unavoidably alone.

"Are you done?

"Yes, I can manage"

It's the soldiers of the National Army lying in front of me and Filia.

After a while, the wave of reinforcements stopped. I'll explore the signs around, but there's no sign of the strong.

Phyllia's expression is harsh, although it's only the big scratches she hasn't sustained.

I was observing Phyllia while I was fighting, so I can predict the cause.

"How much more magic is there?

"That's about half done. I'm afraid I can't afford to treat them."

Phyllia looks at the soldiers and squeaks "I'm sorry" spicy.

There are limits to magic, and unlike your health, you don't recover quickly.

Phyllia is quite magical, but still seems to have responded to this streak.

"Well, there's no seriously injured guy, and you're gonna be fine"

Some guy broke one or two of his hands and legs, but he didn't let a life-threatening injury happen.

If that's the extent of the wound, you can take down Rosetta and go to the hospital and heal after this country returns to normal.

Some sacrifices have had to be stopped, and I would rather you be thankful that there is life.

Having defeated the soldiers of the National Army, me and Phyllia head toward the National Palace.

The road that leads to the National Palace is the best boulevard, with better views.

"Someone's waiting for you. Is that the captain?

I feel signs from in front of the Palace of Nations. Signs of a fairly skilled man.

Seeing you in the same uniform as the soldiers you defeated earlier, you're pretty sure it's the National Army.

There's still a long way to go, but they noticed us, and the signs turn sharp and sharp.

"Phyllia, can you see me?

Phyllia activates her transcendence and sees a man standing in front of the National Palace.

"Yes. That guy is brainwashed, too. Ability is' Code of Thunder '. For a period of time after activating the capability, instead of using only Thundermagic, it seems to increase the power and rapidity of Thundermagic."

"It's going to break my bones to deal with someone without killing that level of distraction...... I can't help it. I'll take care of him."

"Shouldn't we work together?

I shake my head sideways to Phyllia's suggestion.

If it's over if you take him down, fine, but things are different this time.

"We can't deplete Phyllia's magical powers any more than Rosetta's abilities have yet to be completely broken. If Rosetta and I weren't compatible, I couldn't help it."

As I thought earlier, the most important thing you have to think about when fighting is your ability.

Depending on the compatibility of this, the strength difference flips at all costs.

In my case, it's not very compatible with someone who would disable a physical attack.

Well, still, I'm confident I can manage with my temper, but I want you to stay in Firia in case that happens.

"……… I understand."

"Don't worry. Because I'll be done in a minute."

"…… I'm not worried about anything else, so please knock me down."

Saying so, Phyllia stops.

The man is still far away, he would be out of range on the boulder here.

I increase the speed of running and stare at the man standing up.

"I wanted to fight someone as strong as you without any clue to each other."

The magic power of a man swells. The National Palace is already at the end of its eyes and nose.
