Monster no Goshujin-sama

37

The battle between Yuna and Rose and Robbia continued against a group of masks.

"Knock..."

To the situation on the other side of the defense, Yuna bit her teeth.

If there is any gap at all, 'Wewaten' will surely poke there.

But the enemy had no way of breaking up the collaboration at all.

Should it be more of a cautious move than good?

From Yuna's eyes, who knows how to fight a diocesan knight, the collaboration was never a stone's throw.

There was no smoothness cultivated by long hours of training, and at best it was only at a level where we could move out of each other's way.

However, their individual level of combat ability greatly exceeded that of the average diocesan knight.

To some extent, we were so threatened that it was too much to fill each other's holes.

Besides, they never forced themselves.

If they had been getting a little more aggressive, Yuna's follow up wouldn't have made it, and either Rose or Robbia could have been hit.

Alternatively, Yuna, who was no longer in time for processing, may have made decisive mistakes.

But by doing so, they exposed themselves to gaps and avoided the risk of payback.

It was a cautious and unpleasant way to fight.

So much so that Yuna couldn't help but feel that this was a means of 'Weiwaten sealing'.

"Huh!

I don't even know how many rounds we've had anymore.

Strike it off with a little force and the enemy pulled back quickly.

Instead, another one attacked and threatened the Roses.

Robbia, who was about to become half a dragon, played the attack with both hardened arms, and Rose's axe was knocked in.

Yuna turned her heel back and tried to turn to follow the two.

She already had no hands.

That's why, I repeat.

Dozens and dozens of times and an act of defense that will continue.

That's what I recognized.

The same would have happened to the group of masks.

Thousands of hands.

There, Yuna realized that she was only slightly used to it after Rose moved.

"Shh!

This is the only time.

It was a total of seven knives that were released from Rose's hand as he poked at the enemy's void, which he thought was moving as before.

Even if they are inferior in combat ability, Takahiro Mashima's family has not lost in numbers that crossed the dead line.

A knife thrown by the experience gained during the battle exploded a built-in mock demon stone.

The explosion itself was not that big of a deal.

At least, it wasn't like you could do a lot of damage to your enemies.

When there were signs of magic, some even jumped, and some defended themselves.

But at the same time, it was a deadly attack.

"Haaaa!

The world's fastest 'Wewaten' ran through the blast gap.

That's exactly electrolithic fire.

Kick one and bounce the other off impending.

"There!

"... Ugh!?

It was one of the masked men who aimed at the gaps that could have been made that way.

Yuna was discerning that one of them was moving in the center of the whole thing.

It becomes difficult to hold down 'Wei Waste Heaven' even if only one is missing.

It would have been all the more so if that had been the command tower.

"Ahhhh!

"Gu!

The masked man leaked bitterness to Yuna's furious series of attacks.

The sword trident is by storm.

The corresponding sword cannot be chased.

The cuttoe cut off his shoulder and cut off his mask.

Flirted by the attack, the body of a man shaken from left to right creates a decisive gap.

Thanks to Rose's attack, I can't even get in the way.

Yuna got a definite response and stepped forward.

This is settled. Decide here.

"Ahhh!

With the mood for rift, Yuna stepped in...

- This phase, the battle of Takahiro and his men, who were flown to an incredible place, was unfolding on three main fronts.

Takahiro Mashima joined Kudo Lu to end the battle with Travis, while preserving Kato Makoto.

Though he was last stood in unexpected predicament, he has succeeded in destroying Travis, who turned him into a monster.

Yuna had fought with Rose and Robbia and was finally trying to tailor one of his enemies.

The rest was over if we inflicted wounds that made it impossible to continue fighting.

Only the Cathedral Knights, including Ottomer, and Lily and Gabella, fleeing the strange sword-making masked man, were disadvantaged, but they were also able to contend with each other somehow.

Unless you make extra mistakes, you won't be easily chased down.

Even if there were unexpected reinforcements threatening the mysterious masked group or Travis' participation in the battle, you cannot kill the Takahiro now in Ottomer, the former Cathedral Knight.

What the boy had piled up was never light.

That was true.

In fact, there was...

"What's wrong?"

Away from the main battlefield, a voice of doubt was raised.

The Lord of the Voice was Siran.

Binoculars on the uncovered side of the eyelid held a surprising light.

Gordon-Caville, the bald-headed knight, was ahead of him.

The knight, who was rigid in quality and sincere, along with his men's knights, continued to travel in defence of Silan.

The Kaoru-curious knights of the masterpiece Harrison-Addington, the leader of the regiment, were highly responsible and dedicated.

Everyone was hurt less, and no one was bleeding.

Gordon has inspired and cared for his men, taking his own sword and continuing to direct.

But as long as he only went down the aisle, he tended to shut up.

Silan initially wondered if it was for fatigue.

Especially since Gordon used the power of 'Shining Wings' over and over again.

So, Siran suggested a break, but Gordon refused to move on.

In fact, his fighting power had not diminished.

The forged flesh left room even though it had been tortured.

However, only the gloomy colors that came to my tough face grew darker and darker.

So much so that Silan can't keep quiet.

"No. I'm nothing..."

"Have you been blocked from earlier?"

Trying to delude Gordon, Silan showed him around.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you've noticed."

Naturally, the knights, who are subordinates, also guessed that something was wrong with Gordon, the leader.

The upset was spreading and had a negative impact on morale.

"If you need anything, say it"

As it stands, there could be near damage.

And, there were some such decisions, but at the same time, Silan had spoken words of genuine care.

Because in this short time, many of the knights belonging to an organization called the Cathedral Knights, including those in front of them, were convinced that they were worthy of respect.

From a very young age when he lived in Akel, until his knighthood when he worked in the Tree Sea, the diocesan knight who supported the brave was an admirer for Silan.

Although I had doubts about Travis, it was no longer clear that that was the exception.

They were noble knights who martyred in their mission, just like those who appeared in the legend.

If anything, I wanted to help.

Those Cyran thoughts should have been conveyed correctly.

But Gordon's reaction was not fragrant.

"Lord Silan..."

He had a terribly painful face.

Confusion and confusion appeared commonly in his park personality and honest eyes.

And what made Silan more surprising was that he could see a faint fear there.

There is no question that a man named Gordon-Caville is a knight who combines the power of the highest class in this world with his ability to fight and the spirit of steel.

What the hell is he afraid of?

Silan learned chest stiffness.

I have a terrible bad feeling...

"- Ahhh!

Yuna waved up her love sword and stepped in.

This is settled. Decide here.

Yes, I carved it into my heart, and it was the moment I slashed it.

"I knew you were strong."

A masked man raised his voice.

It was a totally uncomfortable, reassuring voice.

"- Huh!?

It was, like, a magic word.

Yuna's movements, which were on the way to lifting, stepping in and tapping in the sword, become completely rigid.

"Wewaten" at that moment was defenseless as if time had been put aside.

In other words, it was good.

Sorry, Iino.

"No!?

The man said he seemed really sorry and Yuna's face was drawn to the severe pain he ran right after.

On her right foot there was a creepy knife growing like a combination of bones.

A man stabbed a knife to pierce a gap in consciousness.

The cutting tip was coming out of the back of my thigh.

"Oh, oh!?

Nor could he stand in severe pain, and Yuna fell to the sidelines.

On the floor of the aisle, a small blood pond spreads.

He had planted something, and the black liquid was mixed with red blood.

It had exposed too many gaps during the battle, but there was no chase.

However, the man said in a somewhat sorry voice.

"Really bad. I didn't want to use these hands either. But you were too strong. This is what I had to do."

"Iino..."

When I saw Yuna fall and lay down, Rose gave a grunt voice.

Under a steep turn.

Too casually, the maximum power was lost and the Roses' situation was overwhelmingly unfavourable.

"It's over."

"Knock."

Listening to the man's proclamation, Rose and Robbie set themselves up with a rugged face.

Leaning on each other to shelter each other.

Neither of us was going to give up until the last moment.

It was then.

"Ugh, uuch!

Yuna, who was bored on the ground, roared and jumped up.

"What!?

A fine sword flickered and attacked a man of leadership.

The attack was avoided by bouncing backwards, but thanks also to Yuna was given time to prepare her posture.

She jumped under the Roses, one leg at a time.

"Mr. Iino!

"You..."

"Huh, huh!

Yuna took a rough breath and suffered the severe pain of rushing up.

The knife remained stabbed in the foot.

Still, Yuna's will never thwarted.

"... with that injury, do you still stand up and fight"

A masked man snapped at me like I was being taken aback.

"You'd have crushed your legs anyway."

This was the second time Yuna was hurt in the leg.

There's not enough forgiveness.

I got hit in both legs the first time, but this time I still have my left leg.

It was barely possible to stand up.

"... take that mask off"

While retaining his will, Yuna told him in a harsh voice.

"It won't make any sense anymore."

I chewed my back teeth not only to get over the pain in my body.

Regardless, there is no obligation on the enemy to answer the inquiry.

There shouldn't be...

The leader raised his hand to allow a group of masks to move to launch an attack without hesitation.

As he gave up, he reached for his face.

The mask is removed.

"Ah, ah..."

Unconsciously, a sad groan was leaking from Yuna's mouth.

It was the boy's face that appeared from under the mask.

A fierce face that people like.

Now I had a bitter look on my face.

Here it was, a face I never thought I'd see.

"... Shikun Jingu"

"Hey, Iino. I didn't want to see you here."

Shichiya Jingu.

The two names on the expedition are 'Dragon Man'.

He was one of the detachment group members of the expedition and a comrade of Yuna who explored the tree sea with him.

While I was fighting, I probably didn't realize that because that mask is a magic tool with those effects.

However, that didn't even have an effect on the voice.

After a few seconds of silence to swallow reality, Yuna opened her trembling lips.

"Why, Shiku Jingu is in a place like this... how could you do this?

At the time I heard his voice, I knew it was him, but I didn't want to believe it.

I still can't believe I'm doing this.

For Yuna, the Expedition members are irreplaceable companions.

Executive members, including Shi Chiya Jingu, were particularly dependable comrades among them.

I never thought I'd see him like this.

Yuna thought she heard something important crack.

It was an illusion that my world seemed to crumble and crumble.

So far Yuna has fought for what she thinks is right.

In the defense of the colony, in the exploration of the tree sea, on the road of the expedition, when rescuing the survivors of the colony, while chasing the false braves in the eastern lands, when they defended the settlement from the monster runoff.

I've eaten my teeth and fought through them.

I could do that because I believed it made sense.

I thought that fighting for me would make us all happy.

I could do my best for that.

Whether it's tough or painful, I've been running through it.

Yet what is this situation?

If this is going to happen, what the hell am I for...

"... Answer me, Shi-kun Jingu"

A horrible thought came to mind, and Yuna bumped into words without being comfortable.

"Why!? I can't believe Shikun Jingu cooperated with Ottomer and tried to kill Mashima!

Once shoulder to shoulder, the two gazes that explored the tree sea collided.

The boy's eyes never wavered against the girl who showed intense agitation.

That meant that I had already decided my mind.

"To get us all back to our original world."

"... Huh?

"By cooperating, I promised you I'd let you go home. So here I am."

The words to be told were calm, but rather Yuna was confused.

"Hey... what are you saying? Shikun Jingu. Together, back to the original world?

That was, indeed, a story he had told me when I met him before.

- Actually, I wasn't just hanging out. I...

- Somehow, I'm going back to the world where I was.

What you're saying is consistent.

The problem was in other parts.

"You really think Ottomer can do that?

It is common sense in this world that metastasizers cannot return to their original world.

I just didn't think I could do anything about that, like, a former cathedral knight.

"That's not all. Shigeru Jingu said we'd all go back to our original world. And you're gonna kill Mashima?

Yuna remembered the conversation she had had with me before.

- I'm not like ten characters.

- He's an idiot. Kill your people, but go back to your old world? I don't think that's acceptable.

- How many of us survive? Hundreds? Two hundred? Thousands came, hundreds died? I'm not like a crossword bastard. We're all going back to our original world.

It was a language full of proselytism.

Those must have been genuine words.

And yet, what we're doing. Now, it's conflicting.

Even though it just seemed that way, it was a word of denial that came back.

"No, I'm not going to kill Mashima."

"- Huh!"

I don't understand the words that are spoken pale.

I get the feeling of being scratched in the chest by the creeps.

With a squeezing voice, Youna asked.

"Then why did Shigeru Jingu attack us...!

"That's what I promised you."

The response was only quiet.

"" The total annihilation of Takahiro Mashima's family "and" Asking Takahiro Mashima to disappear from the surface world ". These two are the terms on which I was offered. Let your family die. But Mashima just needs to hold onto her figure and make sure she stays adult. I'm not gonna kill you."

"Huh......!?

Yuna turned a blind eye to surprise.

Indeed, then there is no contradiction with the phrase 'all transferees return to their original world'.

But that's why there was no way I could admit that.

"What are you surprised about? The target is a monster. You've beaten as many of them as you've ever done, haven't you?

"Chi, no......! That's not true. I told you before. The families of Mashima are not like monsters who just attack humans. I have a heart like ours."

"Even so."

I wondered if he was repeating the same mistake he had made before, and Yuna, who complained that it was a misunderstanding, saw a warrior friend shaking his neck beside him.

"I can't change it for a purpose"

It was a stubborn word.

"For us to return safely. That's what I need to do."

"... why"

You won't get Yuna's persuasion.

It was as if I was keying it to my heart.

The time we rejoiced in the Viscount of Bread territory was felt much farther away.

Whatever you say is useless.

So Yuna nodded.

"How can we do something like that, like we're the only ones...?

I felt disconnected.

That was something that never existed between the two of us.

"Didn't we just think, 'Let's protect everyone', that's all we joined the expedition, and we joined the expedition? I can't believe you never thought of sacrificing something like that, did you?

During the colony, Yuna and the others went around exploring the tree sea, under the direction of leader Kojiro Nakatsuki, who still did not know what the danger was.

I fought for everyone I had to protect.

I felt the same way.

We should have been, then, companions who could certainly understand each other.

But now the two were too separated.

"And yet, how..."

What overflowed from Yuna's eyes passed through her cheeks and fell to the ground.

There was nothing that would change that.

However, what once reached the hearts of my comrades of war may have been even slight.

"... Iino is right"

Pompous, the boy told him.

"Sure, you did then. But that's not what happened."

That's what I say, exhale.

It was a sigh of deep regret.

Together, it might have resembled a tearful trick.

"Hey, Iino. I had a lover."

"... Huh?

I thought we had to protect him.

That's a fact Yuna didn't know about.

There, Yuna's unknown wounds were opening his mouth vividly.

"He said, 'Protect everyone'. 'Because Chiya has the power to protect everyone'. Yeah. That's what Iino said earlier. I joined the expedition. And he died in the colony."

……

"So, Iino. I can't go wrong with my priorities anymore."

irrevocable loss and regret no longer.

That was his motive.

Or maybe it's obsessive-compulsive too.

Yuna didn't know what to say.

Because, in fact, I couldn't do anything to him.

How much I ran around, how hard I worked, there was nothing I could do.

That was just the truth.

"And one more thing"

Beaten down, Yuna heard the words that went on.

"Rino said earlier, 'Do you really think you can go back to the original world,' but I really do. We can all go back. That's why I'm moving towards it."

……

Yuna doesn't know.

Is that an assertion by rational judgment or a paranoia by the madness of the boy who lost his lover?

I don't know.

What is certain is that he has turned to the enemy.

Worst of all.

Yuna beat me down and found out, that's just it...

- So there was one thing Yuna didn't realize.

The most horrible fact of the scene.

That is not that the mighty power 'Dragonman' Shi Chiya Jingu turned to the enemy......

Noteworthy is how it came to be.

The enemy made Yuna realize what she thought was impossible.

Whether you sincerely took the deal, cheated, or driven mad, you took 'Dragon Man' Shijiya Jingu to your side.

It would mean I had all that stuff.

That fact was the threat.

Because no one can say that there can be no equally unlikely betrayal.

So that's what 'this' was all about.

No matter how hard it is to believe.

"Fuck, Hiko...?

"No, Takahiro. If you're alarmed, come on."

A boy who was supposed to be his best friend gripped the knife with his bloody wet hands and laughed at the snare.
