Munou To Yobareta Ore, Yottsu No Chikara Wo Eru

After seeing the Greek king, we were led to the VIP room by Jill.

Along the way, Mr. Jill suddenly stops.

"Hey Lord. Earlier...... is Roy's story true?

"... possibly"

"Well... Sieg... no, I was talking to my father, I was talking to Grawdy in the dungeon and I was starting to realize somehow. I wonder if there was a reason. Tell me...... thanks"

"No... Mr. Sieg had stopped me. But..."

"I guess. Totally... just say something... but maybe now is why they believed me. Whatever you do, you have to hit him with one bullet."

"Ji, Mr. Jill......!

"Huh...... just kidding. In a little while... I decided to go to my father's with Grawdy. Don't worry, I'm not listening to you."

"Ha... that helps"

Don't let them kill me if they find out.

I hope Mr. Grawdy doesn't get killed in a different way either......

"Oh, and that changes the story... I need to ask Lord for one thing"

"Yes, what is it?

"My friend, who was head of the Armenian Dragon Hunting Knights, seems to have resisted until the end of the raid earlier... he's hurt pretty badly. If you can, why don't you heal him?

"Armenian...?

"Oh... the night Armenia died, there was a bloody guy rolling in front of the main entrance to the Greek castle. I don't know why I was there because I haven't been able to talk to him yet for a reason... but I don't get away with it first because of his personality. So maybe someone helped me. Life was saved, but healing magic couldn't cure it..."

"Okay. Right away then."

"I'm sorry... thank you"

Resisted to the end means he likely fought Titanomachia.

Maybe they know something about why they destroyed Armenia...

That's how Jill took us into the room where he was.

There awake his body on the bed, looking out the window... there was a woman with no arms.

He was a beautiful guy with white skin on his blue, short hair, but if you look closely, there are burn marks everywhere.

When she noticed us, she turned around and lowered her head gently.

"Mariana. How you doing?

The woman, called Mariana, is moving with her mouth pounding.

Apparently he's saying "I'm fine"...... can't he speak up for a second?

"Right... these two are Lord and Levy. He's my friend, an excellent adventurer."

Then she bows her head again.

We bowed our heads the same way.

"Mariana lost her voice because she was slashed in both arms and burned by the heat of the flames... please Lord"

"Ok...... Excalibur"

I invoke the Holy Sword to give life.

The Excalibur that showed up had already pulled out its sheath.

"Excalibur, please"

"I got it."

She approaches the bewildered Mr. Mariana and activates that power.

Moments Ms. Mariana's body was wrapped in light and her lost arm went back to normal.

"Huh... ahhh!? Co, voices! Arms... my...!

Tears poured out of her eyes as she stared at her restored arm.

Mr. Jill hugs her gently like that.

"Mariana...... good for you"

"Dj, Jill...... sorry...... thanks......!

"Huh... you're not the one to thank."

"Ahhh! Thanks...... thanks......!

"No, I'm glad it's healed"

"No way this is happening... hey, what the hell are you...?

"He's just an adventurer."

"Huh, I'll say it often...... so, it's Mariana. It's so bad to be cured, but can you tell me what happened? We in Greece want to hear that, as well as Lords."

"Of course... gush... everything..."

Mariana rubs her eyes with her hands.

She was even happy to be able to do that motion, and tears were overflowing whether she wiped it or not.

"Mr. Jill, shall I come back later? I'm not in a hurry..."

"Ah, do it! I'm sorry, I'm fine... well, where do we start... right... it started with a small anomaly..."

――――――――――――――――――――――

"It's fake...... definitely"

The anomaly of attacking the town...... probably the array that showed up in the ist.

Besides, the look of the guy who was manipulating it also matches Fake's.

"Oh, that's certainly what they called it. The demons he manipulated killed the crew, and I was the only one... and I was pushed to the count, and I was running out of magic. When I thought I couldn't do it anymore, all of a sudden Lady Dragnis came."

Dragnis... Sure SSS Rank Adventurer's...

"Thanks to him, the scene was helpful, but then a man named Jade showed up... who killed the castle guard, and His Majesty, too. So we challenged him to take revenge, and we lost... in an instant. They killed my men in front of me, they killed my best friend, I lost both arms...... I thought I was going to die just like that, but perhaps Master Dragnis helped me. I appreciate it... but I'm embarrassed. I'm the only one who survived congratulations..."

Ms. Mariana snubs, and clenches her fist.

You'll regret it...... I'm sure.

"Fool...... there is no shameful life. You're alive now. Then don't turn away from the dead."

"Jill......"

"Those who survive must speak. The bravery of the dead... the thoughts... otherwise you wouldn't be rewarded, would you? Tighten your chest. Fight, Mariana. Only you can do it alive."

"Oh... right... right... ok, go on... oh, before I ask, what do you guys think about the existence of incompetence?

"Huh?"

This was the first time they asked me that question, so I'm surprised.

Because I was usually on the side of listening...

"Oh, I'm sorry to hear all of a sudden something weird... but it has to do with what I'm about to tell you"

"Oh, no, actually... I was once called incompetent. You may not believe it..."

"Become!? Oh yeah... still what he was saying..."

"What does that... mean?

"Oh, oh, there's a man named Jade..." Incompetence is not an incapable of magic, but a man of God's power chosen by God. "... That's what I said. I couldn't believe it then, but as far as your powers are concerned... you didn't seem to be lying"

"I don't know if I've been chosen by God... but people who are called incompetent are not incapable of using magic, but people who are made incapable of using it... and that magic, whatever you say for yourself, I do think they have power close to that of God. My magic is life magic. It is the power that gives life to matter. She cured Mr. Mariana. Her name is Excalibur. It's my magical, legendary sword."

"So, the legendary Holy Sword... the magic of life...? Oh, I can't keep up... but he's right... we were ignorant and stupid... pity."

After all, the members of Titanomachia seem to be ex-potential and definitely.

Then......

"Um, I'd like to ask you one thing, did anyone in Armenia call you incompetent?

When I say that, Mariana suddenly shuts up.

And after a little thought, he looked me in the eye as if he had made up his mind.

"... Oh, there he is. His Majesty called the incompetent who committed the crime……" Nabu ". Especially women."

"Was it..."

Is that still the reason......

"Sorry...... I regret it even more now. I wonder why I couldn't stop His Majesty's assault...... it would sound like an excuse, but I thought it was strange from that time on. But because of" incompetence "... so..."

"That's... the curse of this world."

I told Mariana about my incompetence.

She was quite surprised, but I guess she had already broken out of the curse.

I was listening to that with a convincing look somewhere along the way.

"You know what... no, but I'm sorry... even if I regret it, it's clean..."

"... it's not entirely decided that this is the case, but it's natural to think so when you put together the information. I still don't know who or how for what... so what happened to someone who was called Armenian incompetence?

"Sure... Jade said it was done." I think they probably took him. For that girl... maybe that would have been better... "

"Really..."

I've thought about it before, but if you're in a hell of a pain, you can't force yourself to grab the hand offered.

Because it would have to be the Savior for that child.

"I'll tell you my name for once. An eighteen-year-old girl named Cheryl."

"Cheryl... you're my age"

"And one more thing... that's probably not all they're after." This country is in the way, "Fake said. I mean, didn't you destroy Armenia to rescue the girl, but did it make sense to destroy itself? Of course I don't know why..."

Armenia in the way......?

That's not all I know.

But we have to find out at all costs.

"That's about all I can talk about. I hope it helps..."

"No, enough is enough. Thank you."

"It's this way to thank you. I will return this favor. Really...... thanks"

That's what Mariana said, and she laughed at me for the first time.
