Re:Zero Kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu (WN)

― ― The collapse of Red Ribbon Castle and the flood of shadows in the center of the Demon Capital [Chaos Frame].

That is the true nature of the roar that shakes the city, and the nightmare that I saw.

A beautiful castle made from a pile of beautiful precious stones mixed with red and blue in a single stone is easily shattered like a sand castle.

It was the equivalent of knowing the Demon City, and for the inhabitants of the Demon City, the sky was falling.

When something unnecessary happened, it made it impossible to distinguish between the dream and the present---and that was no exception to the unfamiliarity with the Demon Capital.

――――

A violent shock also spread to a room in an inn for visitors from outside, prepared in the Demon Capital.

Some keep a close watch, some tighten their body to strong vigilance, some scream and clench, and others try to keep themselves by leaning against agitation.

However, the reaction was different, and the identity of what attacked them was equally a "threat".

And while you're trapped in instinctive fear and captured, things are irreversible--

― ― Everyone, quiet down!!

In an instant, it was the [overlapping] voices that resounded sharply to rigidify against the threat.

The two voices echoing in the chamber--a homogeneous beating of the tympanic membrane, stirring up the brain until the thought behind it stops.

In front of those who raised their faces as if they were playing, both of them sharpened their voices, the black-haired person.

The two men, who had no face and no face, stretched out their arms to the sight of the overwhelming collapse that could be seen outside the window.

"Don't stop! If we delay in dealing with it, we're all going to lose our lives."

"I swallowed the castle and was still trying to fill the sky." If we don't hit each other here, we'll have more sacrifices in an instant! "

――――

"- Kahuma Illuks!"

In the same way, two men gathered their gaze on one.

Kahuma Illuks, a brown-skinned man who was being watched, was stunned and slammed into confusion about which direction to turn.

But that confusion won't last, because--

"" Stop that shadow leg! Know that your stalemate is in exchange for the life of the imperial nation! "

"--Haa!"

The moment the action to be taken and the clear purpose to be done are indicated, the confusion of Kahuma's eyes clears up.

Kahuma puts a fist to her chest and bows.

"I will leave my side." Please, protect the Yang Sword! "

"Your work is my blessing." Do your best. "

Fully ~!

Ka 'Khma responded vigorously as she headed straight to the window.

With that momentum, Kahuma leapt out as she slashed through the window with her extended arm, scattering pieces of glass. Immediately after that, Kahuma's back swelled wide, and six transparent wings spread out from the back of the cloak to be thrown away.

Feathering wings reminiscent of feathers, the figure of Kahuma slashes through the sky of the Demon City and flies.

The course was straight, and I headed toward Red Gully Castle, which was overflowing with shadows and collapsed.

"How many people did you bring?"

Abel, a demonic man, raises a sharp question with the flying kahuma in his butt. Vincent, the black-haired husband who was baptized by Kahuma, was the one who was pointed at the tip of the question.

The man sitting on the throne of the Emperor of the Volakian Empire narrowed his eyes slightly to Abel's inquiry,

"You're right." Albert Dunklken in the absence of Kahuma Iluks. The other one is useless. "

"Are there any pawns that fell down?" Your ease is avenged, isn't it? "

"It would be absurd to blame it."

Abel spilled a heartless word to Vincent, who did not hesitate to reveal his hand. Vincent, who had received it, complained, but Abel did not take it.

Abel put his hand on his chin and traced the lower part of the demon face with his fingers for a few seconds. He thought for a moment and glanced at the other faces in the room - something that could not hide the upset of the threat.

It was both young looking girls who could react without a voice to the look.

One was medium O'Connell with blonde blue eyes, and the other was Tanza, a deer man with round eyes who was shaking with a monkey figure, both of which had no decisive influence in this situation.

The only thing that could possibly be a hand of some kind--

"Ah, ahhh... why, why, why at a time like this..."

"Alchin..."

In Abel's quiet gaze, there was a frightened voice that didn't even notice the fragments.

With one right arm holding his head, and fearful of the sight outside the window, but suffering from a dilemma that could not be taken off his eyes, was a black-haired boy whose face was covered by a messy curl.

Of the faces that Abel had with him, it was the boy who did not show the bottom in a sense, but in this frightened manner, which was unlikely to be an act, he was also hesitant to incorporate it into the strategy.

It's not about taking care of your feelings. ― ― It's purely a useless decision.

"If that happens, there's not a lot of work to be done."

Vincent's words lined up next to Abel's side as he thought about it.

Two men stand side-by-side and look out the window - no, two emperors.

At that moment, Abel exhaled, cutting off the sentiment that appeared for a moment.

Vincent is right, there isn't much that can be done.

And a word to Vincent, who would have come to the same conclusion--

― ― Rendezvous with Yoruna Michigle. We need his help. "

△▼△▼△▼△

Sniffing out the change of circumstances, Tarrita dampened her thirsty lips with her tongue.

The change in air, the scent of the pursuer, and the skin feeling of murder and hostility that is directed at them are all complaining of something different than before, and they only run their thoughts for a moment in their judgment.

Whether it is good or bad.

But--

"- Either way, it doesn't matter."

If the consequences are the same, Tarrita is not deeply troubled.

Originally, I was aware that I had a bad head. If this is my sister, Misserda, even if her head is about the same, she will give me the right answer with instinctive intuition.

But Tarrita didn't have the same sense of smell as her sister. Maybe he doesn't have a genius. I can't help it.

Even if you take the time to worry about it, you will end up constantly wondering if it is the right answer.

So I decided not to get lost. Once the results are available, you can worry about them forever and ever.

That's why Tarrita didn't change the way she handled it, whether the air in her pursuer changed or not.

"I-I 'm......"

"I can't take it off. And Eh, no matter how much power I have, Mon..."

The airway was blocked by Tarrita's jacket, and he squeezed the man up as his eyes bleeded.

The shepherd man with the right eye burned desperately tried to escape the restraint, but Tarrita, who tightened her neck with the sleeve of her jacket, slashed the tendon of the opponent's arm to inhibit her actions.

Honestly, I was greatly distressed by the stubbornness of the pursuer who stood up even after scooping up the steep spot.

"When I found out what to do, Ba, I managed to do something about it"

――――

Eventually, I couldn't hear the man's moaning, and my body relaxed. In anticipation of this, Tarrita removed her coat from the man's neck and pulled her fallen body toward the end of the road.

Behind Tarita, who spat out her breath, the body of the pursuer strangled by her was arranged along the city walls one after the other.

After discovering that the blows and knife attacks were ineffective and that the strangleholds were effective, I began to defeat them.

Fortunately, the pursuers had unusual skill and physical strength, but they seemed to be outsiders in their skills to effectively use that power.

Thanks to Talita's moves, we were able to continue to neutralize the pursuers.

--If I could have let him die, it would have been quicker.

-Don 't kill me too much.

One word passed through her head and Tarrita was forced into a very difficult struggle.

That is the word which Abel had spoken to him just before he broke up, when it was a decree to let everyone escape from the lodge.

Given the circumstances, it might have been a scene to argue not to be nonsensical. But I wonder if Abel's eyes will be able to give me instructions that I can't do.

Or did he give the instruction that Tarrita could do it?

So Abel knew what Tarrita was capable of.

――――

How far does Abel see things?

Of course, if you look at the secrets that attacked Subaru, Medium, and Al, you can see that Abel is not a human who can perfectly anticipate everything.

If that can be done, it is no longer the work of men, it is the work of extraordinary beings.

I don't think you can invade the realm of reason that you can't step into.

However, I had to think that if there was a human being in front of it, I would have to think so.

As one of the Shudrak, Tarrita has the ability to take down any prey.

I wonder if Abel knows the fact that Tarrita has mastered a strangling technique that shouldn't be used in beasts, and even why.

That's right, Koja's quite spectacular again.

"---"

A voice slips into the gap between Tarita's consciousness as she thinks and stops.

And suddenly pulled back to reality, Tarrita looked back at her dagger. Just like that, we had to hit the assassin behind us without a trace--

"Wow, wait, wait! Let's wait! That's a little early."

"... you, huh?"

"... ah, are you alright? Are you calm? Are you sure you want to put your arms down?"

On the verge of rendering her opponent's limbs useless, Tarrita stopped waving her knife.

In front of her, a grey-haired man wrapped in a hooded blue robe hugged her head and tried to protect herself.

A man with a straight face, but the flame common to the pursuers is not lit in his eyes, and above all, the amateur smell of his standing behavior does not make him feel dangerous.

However, the fact that I dived under Tarrita's guard and stood behind it did not go away.

――――

"Ahh, you've bought a lot of distrust." I'm just an ordinary person who just happened to want to pass through here..... "

"... ordinary people, I don't think I can stand it when I look at this."

There is one more reason why he can't let go of his vigilance when he claims to be harmless.

The corpse of a pursuer lined up on a wall - at least until he gets close and confirms his life and death, it's no wonder he's dead, but he's still flat.

Unless the mind is dead, there is no answer other than being used to the place.

With such a vigilant look, Tarita smiled like a smile.

For a moment, I was about to be distracted by the smile of a man with a tidy face, but I was more alert to things that were more dangerous than the reaction to beauty. If you're a good man, you need a flop.

--It's not like I'm thinking about him right now.

"Oh no, you're here." I'm not saying it's a familiar sight in my hometown. It's quite spectacular, as I told you. --Hey, Mr. Talitta. "

"---"

"Ah, don't scold me, don't scold me!" I'm suspicious, but I'm not the enemy! "

Just before that, the vigilance that had been loosened for a moment suddenly tightened.

The beautiful man in front of him called Tarrita by name, as if he had known her for years. Of course, Tarrita didn't know the man in front of her.

I don't have any acquaintances here who would call Tarrita by name, and that shouldn't be intelligible information.

The only thing that could have informed him was Abel, who broke up with Tarrita.

"Have you met my family?"

"--Are you visiting with your family?" Hmmm, I hear that the Shudrak people aren't coming out of the forest, but is this a change in the policy of the chief? "

"Why am I Shudrak?!"

"Ah, the more I say it, the more it feels like. I, this is so stupid."

In contrast to his bitter smile and deepening familiarity with Tarrita, Tarrita became more vigilant and disgusted with his spookiness.

It doesn't show us hostility or anything like that.

However, the creeps that are being recruited slowly plant a dangerous impression on Tarita that should be eliminated here.

And Tarrita knew how the suspicious buds that had been planted would sprout, what kind of buds they would put on them, and what flowers would bloom.

Because--

”-Shudrak's Fury”

"--Ahhh"

Suddenly, listening to the words spun from the lips of the good man, Tarita's consciousness was dyed white.

――――

Why did this man utter the word? --No, why do you know?

Because the man who said those words to Tarrita before had already--

It's my destiny, Tarita-san. I've become Südrak's prey.

"Ten, May...?"

"That's what being around the stars is all about, or being a guide. Is it true that there is a rule for people? It's my job to chant it."

After telling Tarita in a daze, the good man shook his head sideways.

Then I put my hand on my chest and shot Tarita straight out with my eyes.

I wonder if it's our destiny.

――――

To the words spoken in plural with the children, Tarrita chirped and took a breath.

The loudness of the sound was accompanied by the illusion that the world was trembling. --No, Tarrita's breath didn't shake the world.

But as a matter of fact, the world was shaking.

That 's--

Oh, my God.

A leisurely, somewhat sulky breath of a fine man.

But what happened was a profound change in his attitude.

─ ─ Far away, in the center of the Demon Capital, far away from Talita and the good guys, the beautiful Red Ribbon Castle stood there. The building collapsed with tremendous force, and the red and blue lights were covered in black darkness.

It's not a metaphorical expression, but a really black darkness that covers Red Ribbon Castle.

The dirty things that are beautiful, the glorious things that are glorious, and the cursed things that are filled.

"Ahh, what are you guys... this might be a bit of a chanting place."

"You..."

While creating shelter with his hands, he looks at the collapsing castle and the overflowing darkness.

I even suspect that this plain man is the cause of that anomaly. However, he shrugged his shoulders as he suspected that Tarrita was in doubt.

"Immediately after we talked about Destiny, it was bad, but it had nothing to do with it." In the first place, it must be a matter for the Kingdom of Lugnica. I'm out of charge. "

"Out of charge, Lugnica Kingdom...?"

"Could she be unaware of the [Star Chanting]?" If so, your lordship will be able to make a pretty bold bet... maybe I'll have no choice but to put my hand on it? "

"That's why I don't know...!" You know something, La! "

Answering, Tarrita stepped in and grabbed the good man's head with the intention of intimidating him. I pressed the man's thin body against the wall and showed him the blade I had on my white neck.

If Tarrita twisted her wrist, a lot of blood would gush out from the man's neck.

The feel of the cold blade should have given the man a good sense of his future.

"I don't think my life or death has much to do with how things are handled, but..."

"--Oh"

“I don't think you're spending time here. I didn't chant the stars, so it was just my guess."

However, the good man stared at Tarrita's eyes, ignoring the feel of the knife.

It was the most uncomfortable moment I've ever had with this man. Without a clear reason to speak, I can play the urge to cut the man's neck like this.

But on the verge of letting go of that violent impulse,

"─ Even if you kill me, things won't change for the better." That's how it was before, right?

─ ─ One word didn't make Tarita shake the knife out of her hand.

Oops!

"I'm going to vanish!" Ni now...! "

Eating his teeth, Tarrita throws the body of a good man who grabbed his collar.

When the man managed to endure the fall with his long legs, he stroked his roughly treated neck with his hand and said, "Are you sure?” Tarrita glared at her face.

"I'm literally going to strangle myself... but maybe you won't have the chance to run into me like this anymore."

"Then that's the best thing to do. I'm looking at your face, Marudate....."

――――

"Marude, are you in the mood to face the nightmares you've seen so many times?"

Cursedly, Tarrita waved her hand to get rid of the good man.

The man sighed and looked towards the castle, which collapsed in the distance.

"Apparently, unlike me, you have a job to do." That might be the trump card to calm that shadow. "

"I ga...? That's the power I have..."

― ― The Heavenly Order has already been fulfilled. You know, Shudrak's tears. "

――――

"You are free to fulfill or not fulfill. If you don't descend from heavenly fate, you won't envy yourself for following the path."

With that said, the dominant man covered his head with the hood and ran away with his back to Tarita.

Fast, I can't say. If I wanted to catch up, I could catch up right away, but Tarrita didn't feel like catching a good guy.

I don't want to get involved anymore, so I thought to myself.

But above all, the biggest reason is that the last words he left--

"--- Heavenly Fate Ha, it's descending."

I wish I hadn't. But I had a clue.

His thoughts were constantly troubling Tarrita over the past few days.

I don't want to worry before I act.

You don't want to have trouble with the daisies and the unanswered troubles.

Talita-chan!!

"--Oh, medium?"

Grasping his shoulders, a familiar voice called out from his ear as he leaned down on Tarita.

Looking back in a hurry, the girl who ran waving toward Tarrita - the medium that had narrowed down - came towards us.

"Great! I found her right away, and Talitta's safe!"

"I'm glad you're okay."... are Abel and Subaru safe? That's right, I'm coming in..... "

Fronting the rushing medium, Tarrita throws a quick question.

I didn't expect her to be alone, or that she was looking for Tarrita like this. Of course, it was strange that the [hide-and-seek] with Albert continued in a situation like the fall of Red Ribbon Castle, but I don't think we were able to discuss the interruption.

In response to Tarrita's question, Medium bounced slightly,

"Abel and Archen are safe!" Svalbard and Louie are loose! Also, I have to do something about the shadows that came out of that castle, and Tarita-chan is coming too! "

"Subaru and Luiga? D, where am I...?"

"From now on, you and Yoruna will stop that shadow together!" That's what Abelchin said about Talita-chan's power! "

――――

With his eyes peeled, Tarrita could not help but be amazed at what he had heard.

Even Taritta, who is upset about the edge of her sight and interacting with the dominant man, is trying to expand the insane damage so much that she cannot help but be aware of reality.

Neither to stop it nor to challenge it, neither of them was Tarrita's idea.

Besides, I've been told that Abel is calling me right now.

"Talita-chan, are you hurt!?" Can you still do it? I'll do my best, so will you do my best together!? "

The confusion of Tarrita is wiped out by the medium words.

Her straight heart doesn't shrink or bend, even if her back is shrinking. Tarrita nodded quietly, as she pulled her hand back.

"I see, Rita. --Let's head over there right away."

Yeah! Thank you!

With a deep nod of medium relief, Tarrita felt pain deep in her chest.

The troubles that continue to afflict Taritta for a long time. Forgotten by immersing yourself in battle, it's time to assert your existence and make a decision before the big battle.

"-Destiny"

Tarrita muttered the words that were spoken to the disappeared man.

It felt as if the troubles were bouncing deep inside her chest, as if she was happy to be called by her name.

△▼△▼△▼△

--Time flashed back to the moment when Red Ribbon Castle collapsed into a great flood of darkness.

"Tong-"

"Ahhhh!!"

For a moment, he did not hesitate to attract a girl called Louis who was trying to jump forward.

In response to the instinctive threat from the nerves all over my body, I did not even realize that the tile of the Heavenly Guardian would explode, and jumped back with a strong stepping stone.

It is trampled to the heel of the thick bottom, and the impact of the tile is transmitted to the surrounding tiles, causing destruction to spread.

However, it was too trivial before the immediate aftermath, such as the tile breaking.

――――

The shadows overflowing back, the darkness swallowed the Heavenly Palace, and the exploded tiles disappeared.

--No, it wasn't just the Temple that was swallowed up.

Yoruna's eyes definitely captured the fact that the Red Ribbon Castle's Tentacle was swallowed up by the turbulent black of the upper and middle layers, and disappeared from the world.

It's a dark, dark dark darkness that must not be swallowed.

A real darkness that can't be brightly lit, that can't be saved by being captured, and that can't be seen by painting all kinds of hopes with despair.

I instinctively guess. ― ― That's something that shouldn't be.

Ugh!

In the arms of her hug, she restrains the girl, and Yoruna runs to the blackened heavenly palace.

The moment that black shadow overflowed, I couldn't see the black-haired boy in the center and the Albert who was touching the boy with his hand.

At that moment, I saw Alvaro's pulled arm disappear.

Even Alvaro, who was rawly greedy and perceptive of all crises, was so overwhelming that he could not avoid the sacrifice of his own arms.

Immediately afterwards, he prioritized jumping with Louis in his arms, so Alvaro's life and death are unknown.

On the other hand, I don't think that such a strange old man would die. On the other hand, I wondered if I could spit out my optimistic thoughts while looking at the pitch-black, and a cold voice asked in my heart.

And more than Albert's life and death, it creates a distortion in Yoruna's thinking.

"Boy..."

The black shadow that swallowed Albert's arm was safe for the boy who thought he was in the center of it.

In Yoruna's eyes, the boy had no special ability. Excellent judgment of the situation, not mistaken for the moment of cutting a hand.

If you say so, that's why Albert won the showdown. However, if you praise the boy's decisiveness, you will not be able to do it well.

So it had to be said that at that moment, there was no chance that the boy had escaped.

However, that is the case when the boy was only the victim.

"If this wasn't the boy's fault..."

Could there be a boy lurking somewhere in that vast black darkness?

Yoruna admits that this was the boy's intention and that she doesn't want to. While acknowledging it, there are judgments that must be made.

That is the mission that must be carried out by the Lord of the Demon City, the position that must be assumed, the object of love that must be chosen--

"--Oh"

The moment I thought about it, the darkness changed before Yoruna's eyes.

The shadow swallowed half of Red Ribbon Castle, swallowed the lower floor and the walls of the castle into the darkness. The part in charge of the heavenly palace was stupid, and [hands] were stretched out to the Yorunas in the hollow.

――――

It literally stretched out, and it was as [hands] as nothing else.

Yoruna and Louis, whom she held, stretched out their black hands. It's not one or two, but it stretches ten or twenty times.

Shadow paintings that have grown longer in the light of the sun, and the lack of pastoral calm in the shadows that have grown while presenting such a appearance, are full of emotions in the arms that are supposed to have no expression.

A huge amount of shadows, black arms appeal to one emotion, "hunger".

It's not 'hungry' in the simple sense of hungry.

It means' starvation ', which is the bottomless desire not to take in all kinds of things.

"Tong, you're swinging around. Don't bite your tongue!"

"U, ahhh..."

In order to avoid the shadows that are growing, Yoruna, who is in the hollow, emerges with a tremendous amount of means.

I didn't know the identity of the shadow, and after seeing Albert's damage, I consciously set that touching it would kill me, and I had no choice but to avoid everything.

Therefore, Yoruna opened her eyes wide and pulled the exploded tile into the previous leap, creating an escape route in the sky of the Demon City by using it as her footsteps.

With a faint sound, Yoruna's figure rises high above the sky with a flying tile on her scaffolding.

I tried shooting one of the tiles into the shadow arm with the meaning of containment, but the tile could not penetrate the shadow, and it disappeared into the void.

Leaving untouchable speculation untouched, Yoruna traces her footsteps to the sky.

If the stretching shadow arms can't catch up with the successive Yoruna tile climbs, they'll make a fortune. Or if you can read the range of the shadow, you can take measures from there.

That being said--

Even if you let go of me, it's really annoying, Alyinsu

It's not easy to be chased around.

Of course, that was humiliating, but the most damaging thing was Red Ribbon Castle.

The Red Ribbon is a beautiful and, above all, rare precious stone.

So I have to say that just thinking about building a castle is ridiculous. And the castle was not built because of the wealth of Jorunah, nor because of the magnitude of his power.

In the first place, it wasn't Yoruna who wanted to build the Red Ribbon Castle.

The residents of the Demon Capital built a beautiful red and blue dancing castle.

They each discussed and gathered the precious stones, and built the beautiful castle, saying that the castle of Jorna, the ruler of the Demon City, should not be shabby.

A rare precious stone. It was hard to deal with, and no one else could imagine how much misery it would take to build a castle. It is the same for Joruna, who has never imagined hardship.

Without even imagining it, Yoruna watched the beginning of the part where the castle was built.

That's why--

"You swallowed my love, you werewolf!!"

Yoruna stretched her thin, long fingers toward the shadow that swallowed the castle.

Something was not emanating from it, nor was it a necessary action. I just wanted to make sure that I knew that this was the appearance of my anger.

─ ─ Instantly, a huge shadow swallowing Red Ribbon Castle was shot through by a violent shock from the inside.

――――

Yoruna doesn't want to know if there is substance in the shadows, let alone if there is will.

However, Yoruna was certain that it had been a real blow.

The shadow swallowed up the Red Ribbon Castle - one of the stones that shaped the walls of the castle, and the inhabitants put their love for Yoruna into it.

Why do you think it's just a castle?

Why can't you love me?

The castle's bursting shockwave shredded the darkness from within.

The proof of this is that Yoruna's black arms are all dispersed, and Yoruna, who escapes into the sky, has no one to catch up with.

In her arms, Louis is also surprised by the explosion of Yoruna's love.

But Yoruna cannot rejoice at the reaction of the girl who can be paraphrased as praise.

"The castle is a castle. Some people say that it should be rebuilt." So, ain't that ain't it? "

Huh?

It's only that castle that loved those days to build a new castle… Isn't it my fault that I feel cursed for the love I can crush?

More than half of the shadows were swallowed up, and Yoruna's chest was struck by itching as she looked down at Red Ribbon Castle, which was no longer a prototype.

But Joruna has no time for sentimentality.

The shadow arm was about to vanish, but the Dark Lord didn't vanish.

Not to mention--

I'm not saying that your white skin hasn't disappeared from that threat.

The impact of the swallowed Red Ribbon Castle was no doubt powerful enough to hit one of the castles. Despite that, even as the momentum diminished, the feeling of oppression felt from the black darkness was not shaking.

The shadows were alive, and naturally, the threat remained unchanged.

In other words, the conditions that cannot be touched remain unchanged, and anyway, we must construct or find a technique to defeat the pitch-black.

"-Yoruna-sama!"

And the eardrum of Joruna, which was lifting up her nerves, was struck from afar by a voice from the earth.

By the looks of it, Yoruna was summoned by the inhabitants of the demon city who were trying to gather in the fallen castle. They are involved in the collapse of the castle, helping to rescue the castle soldiers who are crawling out of the rubble.

It would have looked too coveted from the black shadows.

Lords, what are you doing?!

Inspired by the boiling red flags, Yoruna calls the inhabitants to evacuate.

But I jumped too high into the sky to jump under them. Distance is too far to reach. And it's impossible to hold Yoruna's sense of crisis in all of them.

― ― As a result, Yoruna could not stop the shadows overflowing into the castle of the inhabitants who had planned for her, the Lord of the Demon City, before Yoruna's eyes.

That 's--

"--Don 't think I'll make it easy!!"

And the inhabitants that stood up, and the arms of the black shadow that stretched out to each one of them, and the edge that it swallowed them into the everlasting void, were snatched from their bodies.

It was the dark green pines that reached the inhabitants from a distance.

And Joruna, having seen it, grew with a fierce momentum; and sooner than the shadow, she caught the inhabitants by the thorns, and fled outward.

Yoruna can only think of one person in a magic city with a strange ecology.

Kahuma Illuks, by the order of His Majesty the Emperor...

Kahuma Illuks, a man with piles of stretched arms and clear tall wings, appeared at the center of the situation, and Yoruna watched.

It was surprising that he protected the inhabitants of Yoruna, even in his strange form.

In the past, the emperor Vincent offered his army to subdue the Chaos Frame in order to quell Yoruna's rebellion.

The Kahuma was one of those troops that was rampaging through the Chaos Frame.

It protects the inhabitants of Yoruna.

Whomever you serve, you will be an imperial servant.

――――

"Yoruna! I know your thoughts are incompatible with yours, but we must not leave this alone!" I'll help you! "

Yoruna's gaze answered, her wings fluttering across the sky.

Kahuma is willing to use her maneuverability and domination to buy her time as she freely flies through the air and draws her own attention to the shadows that capture Red Ribbon Castle.

The question is, what do you do with the time you've earned?

Ugh! Ugh!

"Child?"

Let's go!

Yoruna, and Louis, who was held in her chest, thought about her immediate course of action. However, the way it ran out was not the impulse to tear it apart.

The girl turns herself in Joruna's arms, pointing at a dot on the ground.

Yoruna saw what she was trying to say when Louie pointed at her eyes.

And then--

"Second General Kahuma, you shouldn't often leave the place to the Lord"

"If that's what you need, I know it!"

"And....."

I wonder!

Kahuma dodges as she swirls through the stretching shadows and wants to concentrate on confronting her powerful enemies. Kahuma slightly roughs her voice to Yoruna's words.

And Jorunah thought, Even though he had no intention of interfering with it, it was a matter of telling it away.

"I don't want to thank you for protecting the other kids."

"-" As a 'general', I did what I should have done! "

Yoruna was slightly perplexed by the gratitude, but Kahma replied.

Joruna reassesses his ability to go back to his role and buy the time he needs.

A solid and inflexible person, although it does not mask its impression, but it is more a virtue if it penetrates its thoughts. If the circumstances and circumstances permit, he will be able to love one person.

But even so, Yoruna's forever will not be covered.

"I'm going downstairs. You can't hold on tightly."

Grumbling and clinging to Louis' grip, Yoruna returned to her desired location with the wreckage of the building floating in the air, the peeled ground, and even the soil.

On the way, I instructed the residents who wanted to know the situation to leave the site of the Red Ribbon Castle.

So I waited calmly for Yoruna's arrival.

I thought the Emperor was coming.

Hmmm.

Arm in arm, standing there majestically was a black-haired man with a ghostly face.

When Yoruna landed in front of the man, she just waited and left her arm, and Louis rushed under the man.

Louis grabbed the man's arm and pointed toward the castle with a long blonde hair.

Ugh!

"I know you don't even have to say it." In the meantime, I disagreed with your treatment. How could you show your face in front of me? "

Huh! Huh!

"Are you going to follow me? If so, add it to the number."

Pulling his arm, the man gently responded to Louis' appeal. Louis looked at his answer with a frightened look, but eventually he let go of his arm.

Even so, it was probably because I wanted to be a girl that I didn't rush out.

─ ─ We must recover the boy swallowed by the black shadow.

"Yolna Michigre, you know the situation." It's a great disaster that we can't leave behind. "

"I don't agree with you. It was a pitch-black darkness that gave everything back just by touching it, and I had no choice but to abandon it as the Lord of the Demon City. Not to mention, they drank down the castle. --Didn 't you know something like that would happen?"

“I thought there was something. Until I know what's out there, it's my guess."

――――

With narrowed eyes, Yoruna tries to measure the sincerity of the man in front of her.

However, the man's heart was hidden behind his face, and he could not seem to see it. However, even if there was no mask, he would not be able to see through the inside of his heart.

A lonely existence that makes no one understand their thoughts, hearts, and thoughts - that's how the 77th Emperor of the Holy Vorakia Empire is.

That is,

"-My Lordship"

"Don't inadvertently call me that." If I don't want to break my parents' hopes and be abandoned. "

"That's rude....... where the hell did you know what I wanted?"

“I wasn't sure. Until you return the messenger from me safely."

And when he heard the answer, Joruna was fascinated by the way of thinking of the man before her, and at the same time was dumbfounded.

In yesterday's interview with the envoy, he was going to measure whether his thoughts were right and whether the envoy would return from there safely.

Joruna also feels bitter when she dances on his palm.

But more than that...

"My lords should not be scolded once by the sons of the messengers."

"That's because everything is done." Jorna Michigre, follow my instructions. "

"--If that's the best, we'll obey you as well."

In response to the high-pressure man's words, however, hesitation and resistance were instantaneous.

Yolna has something to protect. The Demon Capital Chaos Frame and its inhabitants. To protect it, you need to be able to handle this situation correctly.

It doesn't mean power to fight, it means power to rule.

And in Jorunah is the pride of his power. But they were worse off than I was.

Who could compare the power of the Great Empire, which has the largest homeland in the world, with the power of a man to rule and rule it?

So, what are you going to do?

Yoruna asks, being prepared not to take any steps to protect the Demon City.

At some point, Louis, who was next to him, turned his eyes to agree with Yoruna's intentions.

Yoruna and Louis caught sight of the two, and the man - no, the ruler of the Empire nodded.

And then--

― ― Abandon the city and retreat. The Demon Capital can only be swallowed by that shadow. "
