Monster no Goshujin-sama

4. Even if it breaks

Four.

The girl's world was closed.

Feet for running toward purpose no longer moves properly.

In the first place, I already don't have the strength to just stand up.

Everything's gone.

... Think about it, it was just a painful day.

I recovered first from the disruption of my metastasis because I thought I had to do something about it.

I stood at the head of my fellow men, biting down my fears and challenging the tree sea, which I didn't know what was still there.

By this time, it was still good.

Away from his heartfelt companions, he traveled the tree sea protecting the knights for the rescue of the collapsed colony.

I saw one of my people turn into a crazy beast.

Running through the wilderness alone, he followed rumors of false braves and went around the villages.

The inn was only a place to sleep as soon as we arrived, and before the sun rose, we woke up and jumped on our next journey.

Sometimes I fought against hundreds of monsters attacking the settlement, to the limit.

I watched my fellow man sink into disillusionment after making a huge mistake and stood up for nothing.

I tasted a sense of incarceration where words didn't make sense to someone too different in their values.

When I once exchanged swords with my shoulder-to-shoulder comrades, it was painful and sad and I couldn't do it, and it was even hard to breathe.

I hardly had time to rest my mind.

Still, I've done everything I can.

I kept running for what I thought was right.

I believed that doing so would make us all happy.

So I could eat my teeth off, bitter or hard.

... but did it really make sense for me to work hard or something?

Now, only such thoughts had invaded my mind.

I've been reminded.

I should have kept running faster than anyone, but all I ever saw was the result of not seeing it in time.

- Traces of a colony collapsing that was supposed to call for help and go back.

- Fort Chile, abandoned, and its lost companions there.

- The appearance of Kazu Asahi, who broke his heart, to the villages lost in the fake brave noise.

Out of reach, the tragedy continued to be born.

I just rushed faster than anyone, and it didn't make sense after it was over.

Furthermore, even the justice set forth swayed before reality.

- Words didn't make sense to the Macrolin Border Uncle, who was supposed to be doing justice as well.

- On the contrary, even Shijiya Shimiya, who was supposed to have like-minded, didn't get the word.

At that time, I think something fatally broke my world.

Still, I enjoyed not breaking my knee.

I couldn't admit that anything that came was for nothing, because I couldn't.

And more importantly, I had the last fortress left.

That was where the expedition was.

A group of justice led by absolute charisma.

As one of them, if you can help...

That's how I managed to keep myself.

But thoughts were betrayed at their worst.

The leader, Kojiro Nakatsuki, was behind all this.

When I was informed of the fact, it was only this time that I realized that I had broken my snare.

I don't even know what to do anymore.

If I worked hard, I would just have worked hard.

I would have just done it if I had done all I could.

The self of the retrospective past only seemed like a foolish clown.

What's wrong with you?

Too vain.

... so it could have been the first time.

I wanted someone to help me.

But I couldn't put that in my mouth.

Why not?

It was strange.

No way, you lost everything, but you still want to think you're on the help side?

Because it's hilarious.

Really.

Still, I couldn't ask for help.

And she heard the door being knocked.

I was visiting a room in Teito that Iino owes me.

"Oh, Mashima. What can I get you?"

Iino, who came out, looked fine at first glance.

The leg seriously injured during the battle, he said, had a bad tache poison used on the stabbed knife, which magically still can't recover and remains drawn, but otherwise it doesn't look particularly bad.

It was a normal thing to do with an acquaintance who had visited the room.

"Well, what is this place? Just come in."

I was put through to the room.

Because of the nature of the request from Mr. Shimazu, it seemed better for the two of us to talk, so I told Gabella and the other escorts to wait outside the room, in advance.

I wondered if there was anything to say about me coming in alone, but Iino didn't seem particularly concerned, and he urged me to put it on the table for the room.

"Can I get you something to drink?

"No. Fine."

"I hope so."

I sat face to face, interacting.

I opened my mouth from Iino.

"I didn't think it was coming. Is your body okay?

"I am."

"That's good"

"Lily and Silan are almost recovering, too. Tomorrow, I think we can move without a problem."

"Then don't worry."

That's what I said, make you smile.

It was an inexorable interaction.

As a routine conversation, there are no particular suspicions.

If this was the first person I ever met, I wouldn't have had anything to think of in this Response to Common Sense and Common Visitors.

……

But from someone who knew a man named Yuna Iino, the story was different.

I felt uncomfortable.

That's disgusting.

I had a skin understanding of why Shimazu-san had come to talk to me.

It can't be.

Attitude as usual?

Interaction that ends to hear what's going on?

It's a perfect state of emergency right now, and this guy is that 'Wei Wei Tian'?

... Impossible.

This guy I know knew how to destroy the world, and he wasn't the kind of person who wouldn't show how he cared.

Anyway, he's the owner of a sense of justice that leads him to where the problem is going.

If she were a regular girlfriend, she would seriously try to ask what happened to the situation, even if she couldn't join the fight because of her injuries.

I should be desperate to find out if there's anything I can do.

And yet, what is wrong with this?

In the first place, it's weird that you're not biting me against you.

Impossible.

"... the forces of war are gathering. All you have to do is wait for Lily and the others to recover and get ready for battle."

"Yes."

To try, I'll start talking here, but the gavel just came back.

Really, is this Yuna Iino?

No. In retrospect, there were definitely signs.

Before we left as a tracking unit, we showed ourselves driven by a strange amount of impatience.

From before that, there were also times when there was a glimpse of an irresponsible attitude that was somewhere losing confidence.

But this is not what I see right now.

Yuna Iino looked like Yuna Iino had been completely mourned.

At this time, I could not speak well of the emotions that were born in my breasts.

I just couldn't help but ask about my feelings.

"Hey. Iino. What's wrong with you?

……

Normally I'd say, "What are you talking about? ♪ And it's not strange to bite me ♪

But Iino didn't.

"You're going to ask."

When I said that, I laughed a little troubled.

Too, he had a powerless look that wasn't like her.

"Guys, take care. I won't say anything."

Apparently Shimazu-san didn't ask directly.

I guess I couldn't.

That's about it, the way Iino looks right now was felt by something they couldn't touch.

I felt like I knew what it was like.

It was a powerless trick, and Iino was nagging across the table.

"But yeah. You weren't one of mine or anything."

……

"Well, I guess so."

Throw it somewhere, then be weak.

Maybe I couldn't even fix it anymore.

In an exhausted voice, I confessed.

"I don't know what I was fighting for anymore"

……

I can't even hear you wrong.

That was the word of the frustrated.

Good luck, good luck, still out of reach of ideals, it was a broken human weakness.

"Whatever I did was in vain. There was no point in trying."

I caught a glimpse of an unbroken cross section of my hedgehog in the words to be spouted.

Now Iino is badly scratched.

I'm sure it's been the limit for a long time.

She has been repeatedly reminded of her powerlessness and has been hurt by reality.

In the first place, she had the option of doing nothing.

Other members of the expedition did, but if they didn't, they wouldn't have been scratched.

But she kept running at all times.

In terms of the number of people who helped others with pure goodwill, perhaps she is out of the group among these transferees.

He continued to move to pierce justice, protect weaknesses and frustrate evil.

Even with the scratches, I couldn't stop my running legs.

But the betrayal of Kojiro Nakashima became the last resort.

She finally broke the last thought she had.

"Iino..."

I realized I was in shock besides my thoughts.

Funny story, not so much.

Sure, they were the ones who didn't care about each other.

But at least for me, Iino wasn't just someone I hated.

In surviving this harsh otherness, she kept having what I gave up.

Even the completely unrelated people, even if it was an event in a distant land, rush if there is evil.

Trying to protect anything.

It's like a hero in a story.

I can't do that.

All I can do is hold my precious being in my arms so that it doesn't spill.

I'm not going to be ashamed of those ways of living, but I'm also not going to be meaningless about what I can't do.

Rather, the opposite is true.

I've spoken to Kato before.

- If you look at a person who has everything you've given up, after all, you can't possibly think of nothing.

- But at the same time, it's because I gave up... I want it to continue, and I think it's somewhere that I want you to pierce that path.

In this harsh world, Iino put up what I had to give up.

Strong will has kept me on a difficult path.

But I guess there was a limit to everything.

Since Iino is strong, he must have enjoyed it without throwing up one weak tone.

Really until the end of the day.

That's probably why the damage was not half as bad when it broke.

So, I guess Iino's character didn't allow him to sound weak on his buddies.

He couldn't even ask for help and looked weak with his shoulders squeezed and his gaze dropped.

It was ironic, to think.

There is no doubt that she is the one who has come to this world and worked in the widest area, and a lot of people should have been helped.

And whoever could help her was not alone.

That felt so, so nasty.

"You..."

I thought we should reach out.

I felt like I should mouth him.

- You've worked hard enough already.

- There's no need to suffer any more.

- Everything was pointless, but I did what I could, so that would be fine.

If you say so, she will surely be saved.

Makes it easier.

So......

……

That's what I thought I should say.

But why not?

I could not speak the word.

"... Mashima?

To an unnatural silence, Iino raised a voice of doubt.

A gaze awaits the words that follow.

I know.

Maybe if I made her easier here, they'd appreciate it.

You may not get bitten like before.

On the contrary, there could have been some change in the relationship we think of each other if we didn't care...

I knew it.

... but in exchange, whatever is holding her back will be lost forever.

I'm sure she knows that somewhere herself.

I'm sure that's why you're so weak but without saying anything about asking for help.

She may have no consciousness of herself.

But I'm enjoying myself at the edge of the line.

Yet may I speak of the words that give her guidance as she runs through this other world?

Nobody else 'only I don't deserve that'...?

"... oh. You did."

That's all I thought about, my feelings were settled.

Again, I looked back at Iino staring at this one.

I had complicated feelings for this guy.

Still, I couldn't help admitting it.

I wanted you to pierce my path.

Maybe that was an emotion close to admiration.

So - yes. That's why.

"Iino, let me ask you something."

I opened my mouth.

In his head, Mr. Shimazu's face was floating when he asked him to come here.

- Because I think it's the only thing Mashima can do.

I see. Sure, you're right.

This would be something that only I could do.

If you're one of us, there's something I can't tell you with care.

But I'm not.

I'm free to say things - even if, as a result, they don't like me.

I said.

"You, are you sure that's okay?

"... Huh?

I didn't know at first what they said.

Yuna Iino was pompous.

- Hondo unisole dei inoca.

Only a string of sounds stays in my ear and I can't chew the meaning.

Truth is, she was expecting it.

As bad as the evil he's saying, Takahiro Mashima's rating is not lower among her.

Rather, it is clearly high.

Very expensive.

I'm unconscious.

So I thought you'd understand.

But I didn't get the words I wanted.

On the contrary, what I returned was a word that only seemed insensitive.

- Are you sure that's all right?

Slightly more blood on my head was a natural outcome.

"Yes...... it can't be!

I slammed the table and stood up.

I'm dying because of my feet that don't move well, but I couldn't care less.

"What do you know!

It was a horrible sword screen, but the bumped boy was flat.

It was as if I had been reading this reaction.

Or were you waiting for me?

Maybe I've been waiting for you.

"Oh. I don't know."

Affirmed.

"I'm not your buddy or anything."

"... Huh!

That was the word she herself had just spoken.

Sure, you were right.

He's not one of us.

I don't know, naturally, and I don't have an in-laws to understand.

He said it was a comfort.

"I'm sorry to interrupt where you're depressed"

……

Get up. Get him in front of you, and there's no words.

I felt terribly miserable and dropped my eyes on the table.

"... the nasty one"

Small, crushed in the mouth.

I've been working hard.

I couldn't do it.

There's nothing I can do, it's scratched.

... I'm just glad you're being nice to me.

Because I resented him so much, I didn't know what the intention was when he put his legs together when I opened the door.

"Hey, Iino."

"... what"

What am I going to say now?

That's what I thought she would be told when she said goodbye.

"It was futile. It didn't make any sense. That's what you said earlier."

I can't even feel the pieces I intend to comfort.

If you return the back, it means that it is true without a multiplier.

"But I don't think what you've done is meaningless."

In the words spoken, the girl opened her eyes wide.

I asked him if that was really okay.

Because he didn't think so himself.

That's why I thought, 'Only I don't deserve to give guidance in her path'.

I had similar thoughts as I admired him, he was the one who had something he didn't have.

I couldn't have said "pointless or hard enough" to her like that, like I didn't think I would.

"Bye."

Telling him what to tell him, the boy left across the door.

Leave something important with one girl.

"... what, it"

Suddenly, Yuna Iino was standing up.

I was confused by unexpectedly affirmed facts about what I was supposed to have denied myself.

"Don't you think it's pointless?

I snapped as I was told, and finally my understanding followed.

It was then that I realized I was making a hell of a mistake.

"Oh, my God."

I can't believe you didn't understand.

He knew exactly what was going on.

Anything.

Otherwise, the words just now couldn't have come out.

For example, Yuna Iino would not have been convinced, even if she had been told here in plain sight that 'the deed is not pointless'.

Because she thinks it's pointless herself.

But Takahiro Mashima didn't.

I said 'I don't think it's meaningless' as my opinion.

You can't deny that he thinks so.

And that's how the man who admitted himself said, "Are you sure that's okay?" She did not misunderstand what it meant to ask.

"How dare you?"

I clenched my fist a long time.

I couldn't help but notice that the force was returning to its fingertips.

So, I figured it out myself.

I ran around the world.

I felt terribly miserable, which also seemed like prison time.

Even the wings broke.

But still.

I didn't want to give up, I never did.

"The nasty one..."

A grain of puffiness, tears spilled.

"... hard. It's hard."

He should be hard on himself.

Otherwise, it's weird.

She broke the snare because she could no longer recognize herself to date.

Efforts were made for no reason, feelings were not reached, thoughts were trampled.

Standing up again here also means we can face that pain again.

The point is, that boy is still suffering.

You didn't console me.

So...

"... dull"

Yuna Iino looked up.

There were no more tears in those eyes, no more weakness.

"... that's a difficult thing to do"

I just left the room, and Gabella told me.

She had a good ear and heard our conversation over the wall.

In the first place, if you try her as an escort, it's only natural to keep whatever's going on, so I don't care about that.

"Was that necessary? My concubine didn't know that."

"Oh. To give you the hang-up to get back on your feet."

"Get back on your feet?"

"No matter how painful or hard it is, he didn't want to give up. I just couldn't recognize myself anymore."

Answered Garbera, who frowned puzzlingly.

"If someone admitted it, that would have been great. That, of course, was all that depressing. It'll take some time, but he'll be back on his feet in time."

"Hmm. You appreciate him. But it didn't have to be the Lord."

"No. Mr. Shimazu wouldn't have been able to do it"

"No?"

"That means knocking him into a broken world again."

Of course, I understand what I've done.

I also intended to accept the consequences.

"Such a cruel thing, it wouldn't be quite what one could do to one's people"

"I see. I mean... Lord. So you pulled the poverty lottery, huh?

I can't deny it.

I got a sigh of relief.

"My concubine will see. Say that. Didn't they resent you?"

"That's okay, nothing"

Answer with a bitter smile.

It was a sincere word.

"Anyway, they originally hate me. Now."

"Why are you baking a favor for such a..."

He's been spooked uncommonly and seriously.

I just couldn't help it all.

"I like you."

"That's not true. I just wanted to."

"Hmm. Then I won't say any more. In fact, if he's going to recover any time soon, we still have to do something about the King of Disasters to get such a future, right?

Gabella was right.

All I did was inspire you.

It'll still take some time to get back on your feet, and it's about foot injuries.

If I hadn't done something about Kojiro Nakatsuki, that would have made no sense.

"Well, it wouldn't be a bad thing to have more reasons not to lose"

"Hmm. I think I'm a little jealous that I saved your life."

"What?"

I turned my eyes round when I was told to be just a little obstinate.

Gabella was pointing her lips a little.

"I guess that 'unbeatable reason' also refers to the concubines?

He asks me to confirm.

That was adorable and I laughed a little.

"I don't mean you guys first."

"Goodbye."

Gabella laughed cheerfully as she turned around.

Let the spider's legs chirp.

"Let us save this world in the hands of our concubines."

"Oh."

That's where everything starts.

That's what I thought, that's exactly when.

In the presence of those of us who renewed their determination, the door opened with a loud noise.

"Mashima!"

I was called sharply and turned to surprise.

"... Iino?

She was the one who came out in a shock.

However, until just a few minutes ago, everything had changed.

Rin's expression resides a strong will, releasing a presence that can't help but attract attention.

Whether you're injured or not is trivial.

Something that would make her look good was returning to perfection.

There was exactly two names of the expedition, "Weiwaten" Yuna Iino.

So maybe this development was natural.

"With the leader...... no. Fight against the 'King of Disasters', for I will also participate"

"What?"

I was distracted.

But it wasn't some mistake or anything.

'Cause I've already made up my mind.

... Exactly, I didn't expect this.

Too fast.

It hasn't been a few minutes since I gave you the hang-up.

Even so, I didn't know you were going to say you were going to take part in a fight with a former leader, the direct cause of your broken heart, after you got back on your feet.

Somehow, isn't it just too strong?

"No. Your legs won't be healed, you"

"Because it's not healing. What? I can still take you down if you want."

……

You're right, but I want you to be a little careful with the way you say it.

Nevertheless, this hatred also means that things are back to normal.

"It's dangerous."

"So what?

For once, I'll tell you what, my attitude never shook.

"I wasn't fighting because I was stronger. As injured as I am, I have no intention of stopping."

If this happens, it doesn't work.

"Okay, I'll incorporate it into the operation"

"Yes, thank you very much."

To be clear, Iino turned back his heel.

I'm going straight back to my room.

Shortly before, I put my foot together.

I opened my mouth without looking at this one.

"I don't want you to be the only one making fun of me."

"... right"

"I can't believe I'm talking about you."

The door shut abusively with Batan.

The brightly red-stained side, which looked close to it, struck me.

Much angry.

The quicker way to get back on my feet than I thought was apparently also by helping me feel like 'I don't want to be ridiculed by people I hate'.

"You hate me again."

Even so, it came from the beginning, and it was something I knew.

I sighed and noticed that Gabella looked weird.

"What's up?

"... I'm scared."

"What are you talking about?"

"It's called a maiden sensor. Lord Kanahiko said,

"He blows in the right thing again... just go"

When I sighed, I took Gabella back to my room.

We needed to rethink the operation.

Because the Expedition's "Wewaten" is back and joins the battle -.

Two more days until the day of battle.

With each thought in his heart, he was close at the time of the showdown.
