Munou To Yobareta Ore, Yottsu No Chikara Wo Eru

"Mm, the fog..."

As Jigdra lays low on the ground, the fog that was covering the corner of the alley clears up.

That's when Levy slowly looked back at the footsteps approaching from behind.

"Apparently... you didn't need insurance"

"Too soon"

"Dear Byrne, Dear Blance... Yes, the boulder is Lord"

Behind them there was also a visor, and it goes without saying that even if Jigdra had escaped, it had the same result.

And...

"You don't have a chance..."

……

So blurry, Gaybork from between the building forming the alley and the building, but from its opposite, Fragarach reveals himself silently.

A formation of iron walls, whoever it is, can't do anything about it, unless it happens again in local, natural mutations.

But before that, at the time Lord was behind Cheryl, they were already packed.

"Cheryl, are you hurt?

"Oh, it's okay..."

Only a few seconds have passed since I was covered in fog.

Cheryl was stunned.

And here's what I think at the same time.

Who we weren't hands or feet.

Even though I had prior information, I could easily capture them, who are quite hands-on... not even close to intact.

What the hell...

"Ah! That's enough... Karen"

"... n"

That's what Cheryl calls me, and Karen gets up slowly as she trims her messy hair with her hands.

Already, Cheryl and Karen had fully recovered from the power of Asclepios.

It's all acting, whether Cheryl was fluttering or Karen was losing her mind.

That's how the two people who looked at each other realized they were thinking the same thing about each other.

"That's amazing..."

"... oh"

"How much difference does it make between ourselves and Lord?"

The two remained seated on the ground, looking up quietly at the hero of their age.

"Levi! He's over here, too! Wrap it up and tie it up with grapenil!

"Yes! I'm home!

That's how Lord instructs Levy as he puts the helmet of the underworld in his notebook.

That's when I realized there was Cheryl.

"Oh, um... Mr. Lord?

"Hmm?"

"Why do you have eyes...?

Yes, Lord kept his eyes closed all the time.

Whatever it is--

"Oh, that's this sword, The Sword... it's the power of Autoclair. When I hold this sword, instead of temporarily losing my sight, I can feel everything. So I didn't have to lose sight of them even in the fog"

"So... are you still seeing it?

"I don't see it. I just know you two are looking up at me as you sit down."

"Ha... that was a good helmet earlier... I don't have a good one"

"... I think I got lucky. Well, in general, maybe not at a time when I was" incompetent, "but after I gave up everything, this power and the thoughts entrusted to me by someone, and... because I got the meaning"

"Meaning...?

"Yeah. Meaning of life"

A pleasant breeze passes through a dim alley.

The two still looked up and waited for Lord's next word.

"We were... insane in this world. So that I could walk if I let out my legs, so that the sky I looked up to was blue, so that if I ate something delicious, I could smile... because I couldn't use that obvious and the magic that existed the same way. At the time of" incompetence, "the world was closed, and no matter how we were, we could not move forward. That's common sense in this world. But it wasn't, actually. We had magic from the beginning. I just didn't know. And there's someone who can do that. Someone called" incompetent "to suffer... I chose to die once. But thanks to the two people I met ahead of me, I could walk again... And now here's what I think. That's when I didn't die... to defeat someone and make a world where there's no one called" incompetence. "

"A world without people called" incompetence "..."

"That guy is... nice"

The two of them were remembering their past.

Those days were so unreasonable that I couldn't help it, and so miserable that I couldn't help it.

That's why Lord's words crept into my chest.

"I want it to be", "it should be" ….

"I'm sure... there are people still suffering. Like me and you two did. Besides, that's not all now. The world is moving in the wrong direction. We know it... so we have to stop it. Let's start with this country. Tia and Asuna, of course, take this country..."

Lord holds the autoclair in his notebook and offers both hands towards the two of them.

And slowly open that lid...

"Let's save... all of us"

Smiling, that's what he said.

Cheryl and Karen grab the hand offered and stand up silently.

And he nodded forcefully.

―――――――――――――――――――――

"Mmm... oh...?

Awakened Ridley looks around still in her saggy consciousness.

Dim room.

One lamp placed on a desk, blurry and glowing.

stone brick walls and floors with a cold impression, illuminated by it.

"What!?

He tried to move aggressively, unable to understand where this place was and why he was in such a place, but his body was fixed to the chair with rope.

While confused, he grabbed his left arm with his right hand and tried to metastasis-

"Magic...!

"Hey... are you awake?

"Huh!?

That's when one man emerges from the dark and slowly approaches him.

"Oh, man... you're...!

Ridley knew him.

No, it would rather be less of a stranger.

If you live in that world...

"Ba, Byrne...... Ultimate......!

"Thanks for the full name. Apparently, we don't need to introduce ourselves to each other...... Ridley-Balsheath"

"Heh, heh, why are you... oh, what do you want from me... heh!? Jigdra...... what happened to Jigdra!?

"... well, calm down. I do, Ridley... I just need to ask you something. If you answer me honestly, we won't be bothered by each other... what do you think?

Ridley's thoughts keep up with reality step by step.

I've been remembering.

Before I woke up here.

"... well... that was you..."

"No, I'm not the one who beat you up. Those are my people. Now he's got a jigdra in the other room... huh?

"Ugh...!

A large grain of sweat tells his cheeks many times.

That was a sign that he understood everything.

"You seem to understand the situation. So, it's time for me to ask you something, huh? First things first......"

Byrne kneels his hands and puts his face close to his trembling face.

And...

"Your... let's start with your employer's story"

That's what I said, I laughed niggly.
