"Calm down. Why is that to you..."

"I know! Something happened... or something like this...!

For Lord today, Levi is the only one who connects himself with the world.

Forget everything, only her presence was engraved in her soul.

It was probably not by chance, but by necessity, that I could feel that Levi crisis.

"Shit!"

Lord takes the armor that was in the corner of the room.

The torso part was broken and useless, but the lower body remained almost intact.

"... Road"

"I'll go even if I stop! If it's enough to lose Levi like this......!

"Are you willing to give up? It's not like I've decided not to open it yet, or that Levi did in the first place..."

"Levi is now... it is now! If you're counting on something you don't know when to open it, you won't make it!

Wearing armor only on his lower body, the upper body remained black skin clothes supplied with Celtic, and Lord rushed over to the door of the room.

But a giant man stands before him.

"I won't let you go."

"... step aside"

"No. There's nothing you can do if you go. How are you gonna get to Greece in the first place? You can't make it if you run. Now, before you get there, the demons will attack you and you'll die."

"It's better than sitting still here. The move is to ask King Celtic to find someone to let me transfer......!

"Damn... just calm down for once..."

"You won't be able to calm down! Even while I'm doing this, Levi... is Mr. Sieg alright?!? He's my best friend, isn't he, Mr. Friedrich?!? That the person could die... Aren't you scared!? Even if you feel it, you...!

"... kid. Listen carefully."

To that angry voice, Lord bites his lips off and pushes silently.

Sieg exhaled one, then looked him in the eye and opened his mouth.

"This is my fight. Just shut up... I'm here."

"... ugh!

I knew it was Lord.

How Sieg feels that we can only do that.

But the battle began, and various negative emotions tightened Lord's mind, such as a notebook that would never open and his frustration with the magic that would not activate at all, and his anxiety that Levi might be scratched at this moment as well.

Levi's crisis I felt in that.

It was also impossible for him to be like this.

"I know how you feel. But I can't let you die. This is also a promise to Levi... but I don't want you to die either. Sit down if you know what I mean."

But still...

"... I don't like it. I apologize for what I said. But I have to go now... If I don't go now, Levi will...!

"This... Then open the notebook now! I'll make it clear as many times as I can! Now you have no power to save someone!

"Huh!"

I also know that the words said are correct.

I also understood that it was pointless where I went.

But even while he was doing so, his chest beats hard and a terrible chill keeps running on his back.

His heart is now...

"Why..."

Lord said so powerlessly. He looked back nicely and walked over to the bottom of a notebook placed on the floor.

"Why am I...!

Stay on your knees, hold the notebook and the load nods.

"I'm... why heh! Remember...!

Now he slapped his head on the floor many times, and Lord kept asking about it crying.

"Road......!

Your helplessness.

"Why... why, whoa, whoa!

"Ugh!?

Suddenly, immense magic overflows from Lord's body.

But it was black and cloudy, as though it were separate from what he had ever unleashed.

"Ko, this magic!

Sieg remembered that.

I saw it when I picked him up when I sent him to train in the mountains... and wiped out the magic of the breathing dragon species (Andragora) in an instant.

"Ahhhhhhh!

"Yabe......!

It was there from the beginning.

It's just that Lord was holding it back with incredible mental power.

Anxiety, anxiety, fear, despair.

Desperately putting the rising negative emotions into the back of his chest, Lord was just looking at the hope of even "opening the notebook".

But the crisis in Levi, which I did feel, sees that hope as fragile, and he begins to take a different path in him.

That's how he unconsciously found it.

It was in me... its mighty power.

"What the... Lo, Lord!?

The moment Orlando, the Celtic king who felt strange, opened the door, the black and cloudy magic added more dos blacks.

It spread all over the room, and Zeke was trying to suppress it by activating his own magic in front of the door.

"Don't go in there, Orlando! I don't want to inspire you any more!

"Duh, what do you mean, Sieg! What's happening to the load?

"I don't know the exact thing! This guy is just a guess..."

The darkness of the Lord felt by Zeke that day.

Sieg had been thinking about what it was after he broke up with the two of them.

"Lord is" too kind. "Good or bad. As far as I can tell, for three years I've been called incompetent... in a hell of a hard time brushing, this guy endured all the time. Without spitting anything out."

Lord has been crying alone for three years.

In a dark room.

Without saying anything to anyone.

Because that's all he could do.

"Of course if you spit that out, maybe you were thinking something worse might happen. But this guy chose his own death, even though there was something not strange going on when it exploded. If it's enough to hurt someone, try to end it all by dying... that's what you thought."

"Load......"

"I mean, you prioritize other people over your own life... this guy. So, in the end, the negative emotions accumulated by Lord went nowhere, sinking into the depths of my heart by meeting Levi and the others. But... it makes me look again."

"... something?

"Impudent..." "Anger at myself."

"To myself..."

"That's right. Even then...... and this time. When I'm bad, I say it's my fault...! Everyone can feel angry if they live, and they'll hate someone. That's human. You can just spit it out, you know that! But Lord can't do that. I don't even try. That must be honorable... but heh! That's not always the right thing to do, Lordo!

"Gu...... whoa whoa whoa!

Lord keeps screaming with his forehead on the floor.

The emotion of anger has the effect of multiplying the power of the person.

Now Lord was giving himself over to that power.

Unconsciously, believe me that way I can save Levi.

But it's bound to...... take something in exchange.

"Kuh... what happens to Lord if you keep it up!?

"I don't know... but in the worst case scenario, a load might stop being a load. The darkness you hold is too big. If that thing swallows you... you have a heart."

"Is there anything we can do?!?

"... I just have to believe in Lord. But if you can't...!

"Sieg...... you can't be!

"This much magic... I guess I'll have to risk my life"

That's my readiness as a teacher.

Even in exchange for his life, Sieg decided to defend the will of his disciples.

He said to cut off his cause and effect with himself in order not to let Lord hurt anyone.

"Damn......! Come home, Lord! You're not alone! Don't let that swallow you! Remember... your way!!

――――――――――――――――――――――

"What the hell is this place..."

I don't see anything.

No, only my body glows blurry......

"Huh... is that...?

... Why am I here?

Oh, no... that... wait a minute.

I'm... name... no, no, no.

"Ugh, you're lying...? I... my name is...!

I don't know anything.

"Long time no see... bearer."
