Kazuya walked silently and silently through endless darkness, which lasted everywhere and everywhere.
For example, even if I didn't know for sure whether I was moving forward or backward, climbing or down, right or left, because I was losing my upper and lower senses in addition to the front, back, left, and right.
I never just stopped walking to be pushed and moved by something.
Kazuya just kept walking carelessly through a pitch-black underworld that seemed to smear hope and everything.
And when he captured a small, truly small light into his sight to tear apart the pitch-black world, Kazuya leaked a breath of relief and temporarily stopped walking.
"Oh, are you finally awake?
"Huh."
Kazuya tried to last-minute toward the walk-out light again, but there were those who stood in the way and closed the light.
That's a girl with Nico and a delightful grin on her face and a goth lolli-style dress.
She was Marie Maiden, who lived for a very long time and kept killing as a hobby, yet looked nothing but a weak maiden, harmless to humans and animals.
"But... let's stay here a little longer, shall we? Because you and I haven't told each other anything yet."
"Out of the way, get out of there. I'm not gonna talk to you."
For a long time, like eternity, Kazuya, searching for the lost light of the pitch-black world, commands his opponent in front of him with a swordswallowing voice.
Even if it isn't, the woman in front of you is the one who nearly killed Iris.
I could naturally say that hostility is being put into words.
"I... no. -... and it's a mystery. You're supposed to be my family when I breathe blood... more importantly, I should have engraved slave magic into my soul, but both of them are in an incomplete state. What do you mean? Well, this is how we meet and talk in you thanks to the incomplete but connected paths. Oh, yeah, yeah. It was pretty hard while you were asleep, wasn't it? Your people are terribly impressed..."
"Say it again, leave there"
"Absolutely... if kinship and slavery magic are effective, you shouldn't even be able to listen to the Lord like that. Well, fine. I hear that these things burn even more if they are impaired. I'm glad I took the time to dye you to my color."
Are you listening to this one, or are you not there? I don't know which one of them is, but Kazuya, who decided that any further questions were futile, decided to force Marie out.
Just shut up and get out of there.
Moving on to Marie's eyes, Kazuya reaches for Marie's tiny body and pushes her forcefully away.
But no other Marie stopped grabbing that Kazuya hand trying to push him away.
"I'll just advise you one thing. Beyond this is the path of Shura as if it had been painfully painted and consolidated. Still, if you want to go, you better stay with me, okay?
……
That being said, Kazuya walks out while ignoring Marie's words, who gave way while twitching her flashy pink long hair.
"Huh!?
But right after that, Kazuya had to stop.
"I already... that's why you said it, right? You have to be careful."
……
You didn't even hear Marie just telling you to do it, Kazuya was just silently looking forward.
What spreads in front of you is the remains of the men who died in battle in previous battles and of the weapons that were destroyed and made miserable after the fierce battle.
What's more, a diagrammatical picture of Hell that cemented the negative side of the war blocked Kazuya from spreading before the light he sought.
"Look, you can always wake up. Why don't you talk to me until you're ready? Whatever makes you feel good - already!! I wonder why this is my side of the chase!!
Marie rushes after Kazuya, who notices Kazuya walking out in the middle of a hell painting with her teeth eating and tying her mouth into a giggly horizontal letter, step by step, and heavy footsteps to step on.
"... good sir... duh!!
"I'm scared... you're going to“ carry ”it all? Well, as far as I'm concerned, it's a welcome thing to do... but can you stand the weight?
One man after another bears the wreckage of his men, whose feet were taken by a red and black reservoir where the oil, the blood of a human and a weapon, was mixed, and the minute he does not get on his back, he grabs it with his hand and sees Kazuya, who begins to draw, leaking a voice that Marie is neither shy nor impressed.
"Ugh... don't let me carry it. Who will? The soldiers I killed."
Take on a bunch of heavy wrecks as cold and snug as ice, and for those not on your back, grab as much as you can with both hands and move on, Kazuya.
Still countless unbearable, unpickable wrecks rolling around.
Such a voice leaked out of Kazuya's mouth, filled with regret and repentance at the number of too many wrecks.
"Phew. But the puppets that you called out with the ability to be God, right? Technically speaking, do you go that far to those who aren't people? It's a thought to carry too much on it, Kazuya."
"... Indeed. Except for some of them, they're all around me, all of them summoned by their abilities. I mean, we're all in a different world somewhere. It would be an original copy. But what happened to it? People, but dolls, but monsters, but it doesn't matter. They're all loyal to me like this, they're past me. And carry too much? Don't be ridiculous. This is something I should carry, no, I have to carry. It's my duty, my duty, and most importantly, my will."
"Yes... so... they don't have to carry it?
Kazuya stops pitifully at the words Marie uttered where she can reach the light she was looking for in one more step and slowly looks back.
"Please wait... your husband... with us... please join us..."
"Come here... come here, my lord"
There were two people standing behind me, Shale and Cullot. These were the maids I once lost.
The two were exactly the same as they were when they died - Shale, a Lamia, shed a good amount of blood from the snake's body, and Cullot, a Fox tribe, was calling about Kazuya with his neck screwed in a direction that was not open.
……
"What's going on? Kazuya, the one you cared about is calling you, right? You're not going?
Marie asks for Kazuya's reaction, silently silent with a small glimpse in her mouth.
"Get lost, mister."
But what Kazuya uttered was a word of rejection.
"We've been dating for less than a year, but I just know that the two of us would never say that. So just disappear, you piece of shit!!
Things that looked like Shale and Cullot at the same time that Kazuya could roar returned to the crumbling ashes as if they were sandy cabinets.
"Oh, too bad. I was wondering if you could use them to stay here."
"Humph, don't underestimate me, okay? You're such a bad loser!
I scoffed back at Marie's words and then turned forward, and she was a cuz she tried to take the last step, but stomping on her feet doesn't work and she gets on one knee.
I can't move my legs!!
No matter how much I tried to stand up, my legs just trembled and I never listened.
"Huh, looks like you've got a limit. Come on, come here with me - chip!!
Marie reaches out to bring Kazuya back into the dark world as she tries to get up, suddenly a sharp pain pulls her running hand in reflexively before retreating.
…… ...... ugh!!
While I also questioned the signs of Marie, far from me, Kazuya takes the last step, supported by the warm warmth of knowing.
"Ha... that's about it this time. I'll see you around, Kazuya."
Marie disappeared with a shameless look on her face as she rubbed her scratches and blue bruised hands.
However, Kazuya couldn't afford to worry about Marie or anything at the time, and she was full of hands by burning Shale and Cullot's figure into her eyes, who were smiling and waving her hands off small just before she was swallowed by the light.
――――――――――――
"... eh, eh... eh... I don't know the ceiling... it's not"
While savoring the feeling that he was meeting something important in his long sleep, Kazuya finally wakes up, enlightening himself as to where he is before saying the prescribed line.
White ceilings on clean white walls.
It was a hospital room used to heal injuries sustained when the helicopter previously on board was shot down.
"... oh shit, my body is... heavier than lead... worse than it was before, this..."
I never thought I'd be in the same hospital room twice. Kazuya was leaking a bump and solitude looking at the ceiling in a complicated mood.
"Oh... brother?
Such a Kazuya soliloquy hung up, and a girl who had one of the twinkling sleeping bags in her large hospital room crawled out as if it were a butterfly feathering from a sanagi.
But the figure of butterflies crawling out of the sanagi and standing on the spot was, to say the least, terrible.
The face, whose ravenousness disappeared, was as pale as the severely ill, and the gemstone green and blue-eyed odd eye only glowed with a glow of despair, a black neighborhood at the sight.
Hair that should have been long blonde with a light wavy finish with pigments falling off and bright white hair.
Her lips were dry and cracked by the crust, damaging its adorable appearance without a moisturizing shadow on her health.
"Iris...? What's up, that face!?
I feel like I have to sleep in more tranquillity than myself, who is injured and lying in bed - seeing a transformed Illis, Kazuya repeatedly rubs her eyes with gossip wondering if it's some kind of mistake.
But the fact never changed how much I rubbed my eyes.
……
"What the hell... happened, Iris?
"..."
"Huh?"
"Ugh, wow, wow, wow!
He woke up. He was staring at Kazuya's face and stood up. Illis shuddered his shoulders and began to snort up trying to suck up his voice and breath hard over and over again.
And then suddenly he started crying heavily as he clenched the skirt part of the dress he was wearing.
"Hey, what!?
"What the heck!? Enemy attack!?"
The sleeping bag opens one after the other, surprised by the cries of Illis, who pours out a large amount of tears without stopping and cries all over his throat.
Coming out of it were his wives and maids shading their beauty with fatigue that floated as colorfully as Iris did.
After that, in less than five minutes, the hospital room where Kazuya is located will be overflowing with large numbers of people.
The hospital room was filled with wives and maids who had been there since the beginning of the rush to the doctors and nurses, and those nearby who had not been granted entry were watching Kazuya far from the entrance.
"Hick... Hick..."
"Not at all... don't make me worry too much"
"Karen's right. I didn't think you'd wake up again."
"Great... Really good..."
"Oh... your sister and Ilis are crying too much, aren't they? Because Kazuya woke up so smile...... Answer me... Hick...... give... uhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Oh, my God! I'm sorry. Yeah!!
"I've been waiting for you for a thousand autumns to wake up. My Führer."
"Good morning, Master"
Wives lined up in the front row of the bed hang thoughtful words on Kazuya.
Only Karen, Amira, Ibuki and Chiyoda were able to speak most properly, and Iris was still whimpering, and Fine was also weeping out of relief.
In addition, Lene, who behaved in a temperament and tried to laugh off Iris and Fine crying, had been impressed by the two tears or had begun to cry loudly late by Iris.
"You worried about me...... look, Illis. I'm okay now, so don't cry."
"Hick, but heh, but you're brother because of me!!
"It's not like Illis cares."
Though Marie was the culprit of the matter, indirectly Kazuya tried to reach out and stroke Iris' head in order to stop her crying, who was only crying because she felt responsible for nearly killing Kazuya.
Look at the head of Illis on the "left."
"... that?
But I couldn't stroke Iris' head no matter how far he reached out.
"......"
Noticing that Kazuya was about to move her left hand, Iris blues her face even more, which was originally bluished.
"... sorry... sorry!! Sorry!! Sorry!! Sorry!! If I wasn't here, your brother would be!! Because I was there, my brother!! I don't know..."
Shit!? The hour is already late when I think.
Having forgotten that he had lost his left arm due to the confusion of his memory, he felt more responsible for Kazuya's failure, and Ilis began to cry again with his words of apology extended, and even more so, his thoughts circled to the worse, trying to spew out the worst words.
"No!!
But the maid who was on the side on the verge - forced to sleep by the magic of Luminous the Dark Elf.
"Stretcher!! Quickly stretcher!!
"Ha, yes!!
Luminous, who stopped holding Illis, who fell asleep, yells at the nurses.
……
The air in the hospital room was turning into a painful thing, although Luminous's driving got it all wrong.
"... it's always been like that while you were asleep. I was suffering like I was having nightmares, sleeping or waking up. How sick were you to let you get hurt?"
"... right"
Kazuya replied briefly to Karen's words, who taught him that in a whisper, looking at the twisted face of Illis, who was put on the stretcher.
"… Ladies and gentlemen. Your Excellency has just woken up and is not back in strength yet, and we have a precision exam coming up. Also, I think you'll be feeling quite tired, so we'll talk about this next time."
Kazuya's attending ordered him to leave the hospital room at a distance as he was put on the prepared stretcher and Iris was taken out of the hospital room.
"Well... I have a lot to talk about... shall we see you next time?"
"... right. Here, Fine, Lene, I'm coming."
"Yes."
"Higg... Higg... ugh."
Nevertheless, when Kazuya woke up, Karen and the others felt reassured and left the hospital room after her hair had been pulled back.
"... Chiyoda, how long have I been asleep?
There's something I have to report in my position. After I smiled and dropped off the four Karens, excluding Chiyoda and Ibuki, Kazuya, who was meditating and thinking about something, suddenly opens her mouth.
"It's 1 month and 4 days, plus 11 hours, 36 minutes and 12 seconds. Master."
"Maybe a month... - So can I ask you something? Where's a thousand years old?
Kazuya asked what she had been concerned about ever since she woke up.
"That's... your sister says she doesn't have a face to make you meet her master"
"What do you mean? What happened to a thousand years old?
"That's... that... what shall I say..."
"I'll explain."
On behalf of Chiyoda, a rare mouthful, Ibuki began to explain to Kazuya what had happened.
"Thousands of years old... said I lost my right eye!?
After hearing Ibuki's explanation, Kazuya was overheard by that explanation, which was too unacceptable.
"Yes. A week after His Excellency went into a coma. Identify the location of the enemy troops who carried out the mainland raid by the devotional act of Lieutenant Mishima Yaodo. The Chitose Vice President then leads the troops out and engages the enemy forces. The Gulfarez Magic Saints were exterminated by Assistant President Chiyoda, and the Lowen Church Knights, who raided the prison island, were jointly exterminated by Celicia Fitlock and Adele Saxony. It should be noted that Celisia has kept alive all seven Virgins who were accompanying the Knights of the Church of Lowen. And Marie Maiden, the boss of Bloody Fang, the group of assassins who targeted the life of the Führer, and Vice President Chitose engaged. It turned out to be in the form of consultation, but at that time, Vice President Chitose was also hospitalized until the other day because he suffered a major injury from his forehead through his right eye and through his cheek, blind his right eye, and suffered countless blade wounds all over his body. Learn more inside this tablet device."
"... ok, I'll keep an eye out for you later. Chiyoda, get me Chiyo. And Celisia and Adele."
"Ha, I understand that."
After Chiyoda left the hospital room in reply and salute to Kazuya's order, Kazuya threw some questions at Ibuki.
"Ibuki, can I ask you a few questions?
"Ha, what is it?
"First of all... First of all, you do. What do you mean, the act of devotion of Yao Dou? What does that have to do with what you call a" lieutenant ”?
Kazuya questioned the man who should have been stripped of his military nationality by calling him by rank.
"Ha, the devotional act of Lieutenant Mishima Yaodo was when the Knights of the Lowen Church raided the prison island, and they were among the prisoners taken out, informing us with their own transmitters of the enemy's whereabouts. But it seems the lieutenant whose identity was discovered along the way was being tortured. When the Chitose Vice Presidents rushed, both eyes were smashed, with the bottom missing from his knees...... At the end of the day, Maiden forced him to take the poison for self-determination that the lieutenant himself had and died - fighting. We're treating him like a lieutenant because we appreciate his accomplishments and the fact that the Vice President of Chitose will revive his army and treat him like a soldier."
"... do you... hmm?... death in battle with the poison for self-determination that you had? Ibuki, are you sure about that?
"Yes, we have confirmed Vice President Chitoshi, Assistant President Chiyoda, and other special forces of Gurka soldiers, so there is no mistake."
"What happened to the Lieutenant's body?
"After imposing an incredible first aid, the body was handed over to Lt. Col. Kohawk Gozu and Lt. Akiri Suzumiya, who came to offer the recipient after taking it back to the mainland. We have heard that the funeral took place within the day we handed it over and the remains were scattered into the sea. What's that?
"... no, it's nothing"
Kazuya shakes her neck to the side with a small laugh at Ibuki's words.
"Did you do well..."
With a sunny face, the following polarity and leaking words melted into the sky without reaching anyone's ears.
