Outaishihi ni Nante Naritakunai!!

Metal sounds ringing constantly.

On his way home from Mr. Derris's house, he was suddenly attacked by a group of assassins.

The sudden flying knife took refuge in Freed, and the battle began before he knew what it was.

Freed, who sheltered me behind his back, slashes and lays down even his enemies without any hesitation.

Around him, many men in black have fallen. Even now he was calmly destroying his enemies with no difficulty at the blow of the assassin he had turned to.

"Gu!"

He raises his voice and sinks to the ground alone again. How many would have killed already? The area was filled with the smell of swallowing blood. Sometimes he bounces back in immediate reaction to even a knife being thrown from somewhere, which was even more terribly strong than rumours. I am not at all anxious to say that I am surrounded by a large number of people. At first I wondered what would happen, but now I even remember the relief.

"Liddy, are you okay? Aren't you getting sick?

He calls out, he's still not disturbed one breath.

I snorted at Fried, looking back with my sword in place.

If you can't do anything, I didn't want to at least get in his way fighting.

"I'm fine. I'm fine."

"I'm careful, but don't let Liddy leave behind me either. Because it's the safest place to be."

"Yeah. It's okay. I'm right behind you."

All I can do now is follow his instructions to make it easier for him to fight.

He looked sorry when he saw me nodding again with a hard face.

"Sorry. I knew the aim was like me. If this is the case, you should have just left."

After all, when he is also a king prince, he will also be targeted by various enemies. I didn't think this would be the first time he was used to the tone. But it's not his fault. Fried smiled a little at me as I shook my head silently to the side and turned to the front again.

Play the knife that flew in as soon as possible with a sword. At that time another man came swinging the blade again. To an endless invisible offense, I had to whisper and grow up. I wonder how many there really are......

"It would be easier if magic could be used..."

Freed, who sank another enemy, waved his sword to pay for the blood paste.

Blurry whining words reminded me of a story about his style of combat being a magic sword.

"Magic... don't you use it?

Asked concerned if it would get in the way of the fight, Fried answered as he looked around sharply. There seems to be no enemy now.

"Hi. Looks like some of our enemies have magic and magic tools that absorb them. Every time I try to activate magic from earlier, I feel like I'm being sucked out of magic. I know you can use it if you can, but it's easier to stop it than to know what kind of magic equipment you're using."

"Yes, what?"

"I can't do anything fancy all over town. Besides, if I can only use my sword, I can't lose."

"Yeah."

It's a fried man who has been so godly in strength since just now. There seemed to be no particular problem with being hung up on the limitation that magic could not be used. Still, the assassins are really looking into Fried. That's what I mean when I've purposefully prepared my magic tools.

Fried defeats another enemy.

It's an unfavourable number, a one-to-many, but also a battle with me covered. I'm sure you want to end up with a blow. There was no such thing as forgiveness in Fried's sword.

There's a blood splash in front of me. I saw such a scene and still I didn't say anything and ate all my teeth just stood still.

He's fighting to protect me.

There's no way I can seem scared. There's no way I can scream.

Right now, all I want is one thing. That you will be safe so that he doesn't get hurt. That's all.

I might be a terrible woman, too, considering that. Because I don't care about the men who lost their lives and fell down.

"... Fried"

"Yeah, I guess it's cleared up forever"

When I realized it, I was quiet around me. The sound of metal bumping into each other, which has been heard constantly until earlier, is also gone. The battle started abruptly all over town like this, but none of the residents came out. Probably pulled me into the residence if I didn't want to get involved. I think that's the right thing to do in order not to get you involved in vain.

Fried exhales relieved. I didn't have to be told that that didn't mean I was relieved that my enemies were gone, but that it was because they were able to protect me intact.

Still, Fried put up his sword again.

I don't see why he went into that kind of behavior, and I'm confused.

"... didn't you clean it up?

"The loose ends, by and large.... There would have been the first guy to throw a knife. I haven't gotten rid of him yet. It doesn't look like it, but there are multiple signs left. Don't let Liddy get distracted either."

"Ugh, yeah."

I was certainly aware that there was one person throwing a knife at the perfect time. They smell its presence, and I snort with a hard face, too.

Desperately asking around in a tense tension, two men came from the front. I cover my whole body with black clothes. It doesn't look like a knife. Probably both sorcerers. One had a pot with one hug and the other was squeaking with some bump behind it. There is a large red magic formation floating thinly overhead.

I saw that. Fried just changed his complexion.

"Freed?

"Not good...... those guys are going to use flame technology all over town like this. Besides, that's a fairly wide range of magic... so far the miscellaneous fish have also been buying time to complete that magic"

Did you understand the surgical ritual of the rising sorcery formation, Fried, who tongues like a hurry?

I stared alternately at such a Fried and the man who floated the sorcery formation.

"... I thought you couldn't use magic?

"Another pot I have. That's it. That pot sucks away the magic in the direction you're pointing your mouth at. It doesn't affect the magician behind it. Probably pointed this way all the way from a distance..."

"I wonder why you came all the way out"

"I think he definitely wanted to finish me off. Naturally, the effect of the magic tool is stronger if the distance is closer, and it is easy to modify the direction. If you do it in front of a magician, you don't suck the magic out of a magician by mistake."

……

"The magician's power is not a big deal in itself. The guy seems to be taking a lot of time to complete that procedure, but it won't take me or Will that long. But the problem is not his power. That magic can't be activated all over town."

I could feel the danger just from hearing about the magic of the flames.

"What is Fried going to do?

When asked how he intended to deal with such sorcery, Fried clouded his expression a little. That makes me pinch. He said he was going to use less good means.

"Freed?

"... I don't really want to do it. That sorcery formation is a flame-based superior sorcery that turns a subject and a radius of more than 100 meters into a sea of flames. If you avoid it or play it, it will do damage to your neighbors, and if it does, I will have no choice but to retrace that sorcery so as not to widen the scope of effect. After that, I wonder if it would be a formula to defeat the next sorcery before it is activated."

"How the hell do you even get in...?

If I asked him that while I had a bad feeling, Fried would shut his mouth.

I feel like that's the answer to everything.

"Freed? Tell me."

"... Liddy stay away from me. As far away as possible.... It's okay. Because I have a fairly high propriety for flame lineage sorcery. If I screw up, I'm not gonna die."

I won't tell you what I'll do directly. Still, I somehow guessed what he was going to do. I get it.

After all, that's what he's saying when he takes it personally and deliberately doesn't spread that sorcery, so there's no harm around him.

I screamed reflexively.

"No!

"I'm sorry. But this is all I have. This one can't use magic or magic. The magic team over there is almost complete and there is no time to stop. If you stop poorly, you risk a violent outburst. And there are private houses around. You can't do useless damage to the people.... this is also my duty as royalty"

I looked out for Fried, who said it out loud. I'm not so lost in his eyes as to say at all. Whatever I said was futile, only that strong light of will found it.

"Liddy, back off."

……

"Please. I just hate it when Liddy gets hurt."

Take a few steps back, as you were told, to a strong word that does not allow rejection. When he confirmed it, he turned straight to the sorcerers.

The back conveys his determination.

I can't say anything but stare at its back.

I had to back off if they told me it was a royal duty. I can't help but regret that.

... Is there anything I can do for him?

Magic and magic cannot be used originally. I've never even touched a sword much. Even if you're at his side, you'll just get in the way. That's about all I know.

But I don't want you to just protect me.

I hate it when he's fighting but he knows it hurts, but he can't do anything and just look at his back. I want to help him, too.

"Ah..."

I could see the sorcerer in front of me unleashing the finished sorcery. Large fireballs emerge from the dark red stained sorcery formation. I took that, and Fried stepped forward. I stood silently with my sword beside me to take the flames by myself, without the look of cowardice or feeling it. His figure rises red in the light of the flames.

I could see a magician releasing his technique laughing at him for being stupid.

"Freed..."

Hold my fist for a long time.

I don't like, I don't like, I don't like...!

It's just that word that goes around my head.

I'm trying to get all that magic on my own. It can't be intact. How strong he is and how well he carries it, he is determined to suffer injuries that can never be said to be mild.

I don't want you to do that.

How can I help him? How can we reduce the burden?

When I couldn't escape, and I was just desperate to work my head off, Mr. Derris' words shook my head like a heavenly revelation.

"Yes..."

So I finally remembered. what you can do.

Just do what you can.

"Neutralization... magic"

Yes. Didn't Mr. Derris say that? I have the power to neutralize magic. That's why the magic doesn't work.

I finally remembered the magical existence that I had long forgotten from hearing, and I wondered if I could use it. If you can neutralize magic, you can put out that flame if you normally think about it. It's well worth a try.

How would she have said that neutralizing magic activates...

I desperately recalled my conversation with Mr. Derris.

Sure, she said it was' touch 'and' will '.

Remember, nod.

This is the first time I've activated it of my own free will, but I didn't have time to get lost.

I saw it actually activated when Cain, and I believe in Mr. Derris. If she can activate it that way, I'm sure she can.

Then there's nothing to worry about.

I don't need a spell, and I don't need a sorcerer formation.

I can transfer it to execution with one of my resolve. I can protect Freed.

"Liddy!?"

Stand on your back before Fried, who was about to undergo witchcraft.

In front of me is a large mass of flames made of witchcraft. I felt the fever, but I was coming this way. I looked at it without looking away.

Scary, I would never say that. I don't think about failure. If this behavior helps both of us, there's no reason why I can't move.

Suddenly standing in front of me, Fried's badly hurried and sad scream echoes.

"What are you doing!! I told you to back off!!"

I looked back at Fried, who grabbed my shoulder and tried to poke me to the side, staring into its eyes and saying:

"I'll explain later. So trust me now."

"Liddy! Say what!?"

I don't have any more time. Explain it to Freed later.

I shook Fried's hand away with all my might trying to get me away, and I stuck my hand out toward a giant fireball looming in front of me.

The heat of high temperatures looms in front of you.

I almost instinctively retreated against the flames, but I could see it in the mood. I don't have the option of running away.

I decided to do it. Freed said I would protect him.

So...

"Go away!!"

I don't need you!

I shouted with that in mind.

The next moment...

As I echoed my thoughts, the fireballs were fogging and disappearing -.
