X55 Seeking Light (Running of the Blue Mouse 2)

From the bottom of my hazy consciousness, I woke up to signs of people.

"Ugh!

As soon as I put my strength into my body to get up, unbearable pain strikes my whole body.

Right......

I was beaten by the Virgin and burned by the flames of purification...

Thanks,...?

... why.

Why am I still alive?

Where are we? Where are we? Why are there so many people here?

I have vague memories and confusion in my head.

"Not to Astas!?

"... good. I noticed."

There were two little shadows peering into me in the dim of my vision.... Farrat. Kids?

Hey, you guys!?

"Tese...... to, is that Jiji!? Grr. No way......, really?

Farrat's brothers and sisters, who looked familiar, no, would never be forgotten, were in front of him.

"... that's right. It's me, it's These. I have a sister, Jiji, too.... Good. Really, I don't like Astas. Real, bad for Astas."

"He remembered us properly... Thank you, Astas."

"You're the ones... safe and sound."

Tess and Jiji cling to her body in tears.

Even moving my hands was terribly hard, but I held my two young brothers and sisters tight, regardless of the pain.

There's no reason to forget.

How many times have you looked around for him?

As I was running around the country to save my countrymen, only these children and their parents entrusted me with two brothers and sisters. Although I could not help these children's parents, I was able to join these children alone on the line to Suseragi territory.

But how fiercely I regretted not taking these brothers and sisters myself when I heard that the line had since been attacked by demons on the road and that they had gone missing.

... was alive.

He said he was almost giving up already.

Well done, you survived.

I can't believe we're ever gonna see each other again.

"I got caught buying people, but Inn's husband helped us out of buying people. I'm taking care of my husband now. Me and Jiji, we're working together."

"... well. Good.... really, good"

The damage that remains on the body seems to be quite profound, with traces of palpation, but still considerable pain throughout the body.

I took the magic of the Virgin directly, I guess it's just as good as having a life.

But what physical pain is, I realize that I can feel refreshed and calm somewhere on my back.

I had myself in such a sunny mood that the dark areas that were on my mind were neat and sunny, that what I saw in my eyes seemed clear.

Turn your thoughts around to what you think of the changes in you, making sure of the warmth in your arms.

... I'm upset.

The flesh that is distracted becomes sick and debilitated, but the flesh is not the only one that is distracted. It is not as pronounced as the flesh, but its spirit is also adventured at the same time.

I was running around the country to save my countrymen.

A resentful, caged whirlpool, a country disturbed by blood and death odors.

I wasn't going to be careful.

I was careful haz.

The spirit that kept being shredded by the unseen reality ahead by the death of our compatriots, the resentment that could be bumped into, was, at some point, overwhelmed.

There is more to self-immolation.

I myself had lost my temper to live beyond this.

I couldn't help it, I was stupid, I did something stupid.

Now that I'm sober, I can do whatever I want.

No matter how desperate or how heartbroken I am, I have no right to take someone on the road. [M] Like brothers and sisters in these arms, there's no way we can involve future children.

... What a fool I was doing.

"To Astas, I'm... I'm glad, but it's a little painful for me"

"... sorry. I'm sorry,... sorry."

"Duh, what's going on? Ouch? Are you still sore and crying?

Is the clear-hearted factor… the Virgin?

Says that some Virgins are rarely able to purify their temper. If that's true, then that Virgin...

While I was unconscious, I can't say for sure I was, but I was feeling something very gentle and serene.

I felt such a strange feeling, like someone was stroking me all the time.

Every time that tenderness touches you, it's a strange feeling, like somewhere your mind is at ease, wrapped in a soft sunset.

... I thought it was a dream. He said it was his fault.

Suppose that's not a dream.

Did the Virgin help me? Until you're distracted?

... Why would a human Virgin do that?

"... These, where am I? What's going on now?

"This is an underground shelter in Fort Fier. Everyone told me to evacuate here because the dead were overflowing from the labyrinth near here."

"... have you unsealed Nara?"

I don't know what happened and how I solved it, but from the circumstances, it seems that the march of the deceased began as intended.

I have no idea what could be done to do that from that situation, but the purpose had been achieved.

Now it's just regret that lingers.

... I wonder what I've done.

"Whoa! Why are you fucking filthy rats here!

Someone raised their voice out of the crowd.

I can see that the body of Tese and Jiji leaning in is strong.

As my gaze gathered around me, I held them together even further.

"Who! You let them in here!

"Chest Shit Evil No"

"I can be in the same place as you guys at a time like this! Get the fuck out of here!

Curse and anger fly when you are either fueled by anxiety and fear or you also say that you have found a convenient crossroads.

This is my sin. But only these kids have to be protected at all costs.

"Knock it out!

"Stop it!

Exactly when the people around us tried to grab us, a loud voice sounded indoors.

Crack the crowd and a big, orgy young man approaches.

"Don't make a fuss about that! I know it's not the right time!

"Gingi......, but he and others"

"Ugh! Ugh! Ugh! Good! I'm not the only one scared of anything! Everyone here must be scared and anxious, and believe in the Demon King! Don't stir up anxiety by gargling that!!

A large orga, called Gingi, came in to shelter us, yelling at the stifling.

"But here we are..."

"I can't do it! The Demon King told me to evacuate all residents in the vicinity. Auga, the Beast Man, Farrat, it's all without distinction! That's what the Demon King says, but what are we going to do if we get him to help us?

"... Gingi, you"

"Yikes! We just have to trust the Demon King! Definitely the Demon King will do something about it! We're definitely gonna help! If you can't believe the Demon King and you can't hear him, it's the only way out of here! If not, then shut up and believe me and wait!

When Gingi glanced around, those who were about to make a scene retreated badly.

Gingi sat beside us as she stood.

"... thanks. Gingi's Chan."

Tese thanked the loud, big aug.

"Tese, do you know him?

"Yeah. You're the one who kicked Jiji and tried to beat me to death."

"... sorry, I don't know what you're talking about"

"The boy is right. Hit my one-sided grudge and annoy me. I don't mean to apologize, but I won't let you guys touch one finger. Reliable."

Blurring, Gingi laughed nica, stroking her head roughly with These and Jiji in turn.

"... thank you"

"I don't need it. I also have a grudge against Farratt for killing my parents. I didn't forget that grudge."

"Then why are you imitating us to shelter us?

"... a stranger told me. Don't make the wrong person to hit a grudge with. Well, that's not why I'm convinced, or why I don't have anything to think about..."

The bat scratched his head badly, Gingi said.

Who should hit a grudge, …?

"... you'll even want to dress up in front of a good woman. So, once you dress up, it's hard to pull it in. Sure, it was Farratt who killed my parents, but not these boys. Not even you, of course. But you're gradually hitting a grudge... you're not dressed well."

"That kind of problem,... is it?

"Know what?... Actually, I'm not sure. I don't know, but I wonder what it is. I don't know how to say this, but I feel it's not the same thing as hating Soytz just because it's Farrat.... Well, it's like that"

"... sorry"

Never a beautiful word, or a carefree word.

But it was the thought of Gingi's words poking me in the chest.

"I'm sorry.... sorry. Thanks."

"It's not easy for a man to cry."

Wordless thoughts come in.

I really don't know what a fool I've done.

Even though you were upset, you have to take responsibility for what you have done.

A demon king would put this thing right.

And then I will be judged by the Demon King.

You will pay for this life.

... Still, I don't mind.

But if this life is to remain, I will have to spend the rest of my life making amends.

I decided to be ready for it...

"Oh, hey..."

Suddenly, I had a good twist indoors.

"Ko, this is..."

Those who are sensitive to magic and those who are not, look up at the ceiling uniformly. Right, beyond the ceiling.

"Hey, what!? Holy shit. This... is serious."

If it's the basement of the fort you're in right now, that's probably the upper floor of the fort, around the top floor.

From there, I feel a tremendous increase in magic.

I feel the presence of a dense, squeaky amount of magic that I have never seen or heard before.

... not an unusual amount of magic.

But suddenly the sun was born there, insanely powerful.

"... something starts?

Gingi looked up at the ceiling and spilled a potpourri.

Looking up at the ceiling the same way, I noticed.

No, I was noticed even if the answer was no.

─ ─ I remember the feeling of this magic.

This gentle, everywhere calm feeling is the same as that magic that distracted me. Definitely.

The bearer of that magic is on top of this right now.

"The Virgin. Is there a Virgin in the fort?

"Is the Virgin a human Virgin?... Someone made a scene that the Demon King had put all the humans inside the fort.... so this is the magic of the Virgin!? I don't know how to... seriously."

"Not only are we human beings, but the Demon King doesn't distinguish even human beings?"

"Because the situation is the situation, aren't you going to use anything you can use? We just believe in the Demon King."

Did the Demon King and Virgin join hands......

I can't believe that could happen.

I just felt like I was there and prayed quietly. [M]

Virgin, have this good luck meeting you.

Pray for gratitude.

Thanks.

And please, may the light of salvation reach everyone here as I have been saved by you...
