It was not until midnight that I suddenly heard the squeaking and barbaric sound of horses.

At first, I woke up to those sounds that I thought were dreams.

I look out the window at the darkness without moonlight, but I can't see anything.

Abel-san was about to go back to sleep, but now it didn't take long to hear a clear scream.

"What the hell...!?"

Mr. Abel jumps out of bed.

The soldier's rage and screams increased further, and it turned out that something unusual had happened.

The area is quite far from the main residence and is blocked by garden trees, so I don't know the situation.

Besides, the snow is deep outside, and the snow absorbs the sound even when I try to listen to it.

As a result, Mr. Abel removed the lattice door with familiar touches and ran towards the main residence.

As we get closer, the sound of the swords and the sound of shooting magic will increase.

The guards were fighting the people in northern clothes, presumably from the area bordering the Jarvis Territory to the north.

I heard a few exotic words.

"Why...? My father said that since the number of people in the north is extremely small, they rarely attack us..."

Mr. Abel muttered to himself in despair.

However, the guards seemed to be completely strangled, and the rough roar of the enemies who were on the move was becoming more prominent.

Perhaps they weren't just marching through the front, but they were thieves sneaking into the museum.

The Midnight Marauders were on the verge of achieving their goals.

And Abel's bewildered vision showed something white.

Whatever it is, he turns his face, and it's incredible.

……

Almost screaming, Abel suppressed her mouth.

The white thing at the end of my gaze was my aunt who was wearing a── sleeping wrap.

He laughed when he told Mr. Abel that blue suited him.

It is cut off brutally, and its limbs are thrown out and it is lying on the floor.

I rushed over, but before that, the men in fur appeared.

Then I discussed something with Yi Yi in the language of another country, and grabbed my aunt's legs without making any sense.

At that moment.

Mr. ──Abel's anger exploded.

You didn't know what the men were trying to do, but you did find out that you insulted your aunt incredibly.

She jumped out of the shadows like a cat and quickly crawled her fingers on the ground.

With the power of the script, the floor spiked up and slashed through the men.

Drawing glowing letters in the air creates a wind, and the remaining enemies are overwhelmed without any restraint.

Screams and rage fluttered, but Abel's vision was stained with rage. I didn't hesitate to say it was my first man-to-man fight.

Abel, who had manipulated the letters in a row, noticed that he had knocked out all the enemies on the spot and stood breathing on his shoulders.

Then, after returning to me, he muttered, "Aunty," and approached the woman.

"Aunty...? I'm fine now, so wake up and let's get out of here!"

With her trembling hand, Mr. Abel lifts up his aunt's upper body.

──Already, the aunt was cut off, her eyes blinded, and her neck bowed.

In this terrifying appearance, Abel said, "Hee!?” I screamed.

My aunt's body collapsed to the floor, perhaps because she had unexpectedly lost strength from her hands.

"Ah, ah... ahhh..."

Perhaps you can't accept the reality, Abel-san gave her a whimper with his ass.

But the situation doesn't stop.

There he is!

Abel, surrounded by the armed men who cried out, panicked, "Wow!!" I shouted and used "letters" with all my heart.

Then, the air was rough and the armed soldiers were slashed one after the other.

Abel ran through the mansion looking for his family.

But what we see is after the killing and the looting.

The servants I knew were killed or even humiliated, but they looked miserable.

According to my curious knowledge, the lord, his clan, and close ones should normally be used as prisoners, but most of the corpses were killed after seeing them.

”(Too miserable...)”

While experiencing Mr. Abel's experience again, I was dazzled by the sight of him being too harsh.

Moreover.

In ──Abel's ears, the sobbing woman's voice was starting to resound again.

"Why... why...!? Where's Father, Mother...?"

Run, fall, run, and find your family while you're short of breath.

But I can't find it at all.

In the meantime, a woman's sobbing voice echoed in her head.

The enemy soldiers thought they had conquered the museum, but next time they went down to the city, and the windows gave a glimpse of the burning city.

Abel went out to the chapel in the hall while retreating with the power of the "letter", which he sometimes used to bullshit enemy soldiers.

I opened the door with the van and── was stunned.

"Ah....."

The chapel is decorated with symbols of Lamina.

It's like three bars lined up vertically, and only the middle bar is like a long balance.

There was a strange object stuck in the rod.

It was a mother whose body was chipped in── blood.

"Ah, ah... ah...?"

Hold back.

But the sight in front of me remains the same.

I can't tell whether that is a good thing or a bad thing, but my mother still had a breath.

A mother covered in blood reaches out to Abel in pain.

You're saying something, but it doesn't make a sound.

"I don't want to... I can't..." Someone... rush me... "

Ms. Abel muttered unconsciously.

For some reason, the── "cry of a woman" that had been echoing in Mr. Abel's ear had stopped.

Next, a figure crawls out from the side of the altar.

It was a bloodstained father, and it seemed that Abel-san's close relatives, nannies, and servants like his family were at his feet.

Oddly enough, everyone was dying, but there were no raiders.

"Ah, Belle..., Abe, Le..."

"......!"

The father comes closer to crawl.

I rushed over to help, but Abel's legs suddenly stopped.

My father was also injured unnaturally because he was breathing.

It was too miserable for the boy to face.

"Father... ah, ah, ahh..."

At last, she couldn't stand, and Abel-san, who was kneeling with Gakun, wept.

It conveys Abel's confusion and fear.

And the heart of deep regret came through.

“Woe to you.”

Isn't this what my father once said to me?

It's not hard to imagine that young Abel thought that way.

I broke my father's good luck.

Then suddenly a great misfortune struck my family... only my own family is dying.

The bee hit.

A man who calls for misfortune has done something extra.

It was not strange to think that way.

"Help me..."

Mr. Abel squeezed out his cracked voice.

"Someone... god...!"

Abel screams to reject all reality.

"Help me... help my father, help my mother...!!" Help me, help me, help me...!! Ahhh...!! "

To such a crying voice.

There was a voice responding to the wipe.

"──Poor thing....."

A soft voice echoes as light falls from the heavens.

……

Mr. Abel raises his face wet with tears.

The bell-like voice resounded even more, and suddenly I realized that it was the same as the voice of the "crying woman".

"Don't cry... dear. It's okay, smile. Isn't it beautiful?"

With such a voice, a hallucinatory scene spread.

The chapel is filled with bright light like midday.

Unknown beasts and birds appear in the air and disappear, while flowers bloom and wither.

The devil appears and the angel drives him away.

When I thought that a woman like a goddess danced in the air, the woodwind blew, and then the peach petals blew.

I was overwhelmed by the sight of me rolling around like a bad dream.

Apparently, "voice" was going to apologize to Abel-san.

Abel-san was dumbfounded and spoke again.

“It's okay, everyone is saved in this happy country. Come on, let's make a wish."

……

Answering a whispering unidentified voice is no different from making a contract with a demon.

But Abel cried out in tears.

It didn't matter if the opponent was a god or a demon.

"Please help me, help my family, help everyone in the city...!!"

In response to the words, a huge magic circle appeared on the floor, making a sound that torn the air.

It's big enough to fill the floor of the chapel.

It was the tarot of the "World".

"My wish will be fulfilled. We can all be saved."

Guided by the singing words, Abel-san laid his hands on the magic circle.

Then an overwhelming blast of light exploded.

Ms. Abel squatted with her eyes covered with her arms.

The violence of the stinging light does not stop.

At the same time, Abel's magic power drained from her body at a tremendous speed. Not only that, but it also seemed to be sucking up magic from the surroundings.

Then, the light subsided when the magic power of the body was about to be exhausted.

I opened my eyes in horror.

In his sight were the colorful flowers overflowing the chapel.

The golden light dispersed and the scene gradually became clear.

I was expecting it.

The flowers that adorned the light-filled chapel seemed to be a blessing from heaven.

But.

Only that number of red flowers swayed where their── fathers, mothers and close associates had fallen.

It became part of a flock of flowers overflowing the chapel, as if they were among the flowers of heaven.

The voice echoed.

"Now no one will suffer anymore."
