After finishing my meal and taking a drink with dessert and tea - although I also got a very embarrassing look at getting a parfait "ahem" from Hannu along the way - I broke up with Hannu and Mr. Rosé and was turning my legs to the weapons store I had recently taken care of.

I don't have Hanu or Mr. Rose, so I can use a cycle bike to get around, but because of this, I have a stomach, and I decide to walk away.

As the night grew deeper and further down the constant path of the people, Phew, exhaled.

"... I ate too much, I guess...?

Rub around your stomach and be alone. Eventually, after that, Rice also took over and packed the rice until [the tenth minute of my belly], as I was so determined in my heart. My entire stomach is heavy this time, although I no longer have the feeling of sore sickness and stomach because of it.

I mean, I've been eating really well lately. Is it from right after the incident a week ago? At mealtimes, I became sexually hungry and more than twice as flat as I've ever been. That said, I'm going into growth at my age, and I have a bit of a complex at my current low height, so I'd appreciate this.

Boulevard, outdoor street on the west side of Central District. Caliburn, an arms dealer on one of its side roads, is my destination. Although in a subtle location off the boulevard, the online reputation is excellent, especially with the manager's maintenance skills being praised in the review.

"Excuse me."

Press open the glass filled wooden door and enter the store ringing the doorbell.

They renovated what was formerly a normal house into a store, and there is a staircase leading upstairs right in front of them, a counter behind which the manager stands. The walls of the bright store are decorated with all kinds of long weapons, and the showcases placed there are arranged like jewels with small arms such as daggers and knives. Was it because all the building materials were wood, or the store was full of warm atmosphere?

Usually when I come into the store, I say, "There you are!" and a torso voice flies in, but apparently there was an anchor. I saw a brunette woman - no, a girl? - talking to the manager at the counter in the back.

As I approached him as he stepped on the single-layer flooring with his Combat boot, the content of the conversation came into my ear.

"Heh, the manager used to be in a machine state (Ca Glass)? I don't have a reputation for reason, I see."

"It was a long time ago. You can't eat it over there, so I'm here in this city."

"What, you mean even the manager class is gobbling over there? Sasu, they even call it a mechanical state. It's a national pattern. I don't..."

Apparently, he's talking to the public. I'm sorry to interrupt, so let's wait until the story is a good place to kick in.

Seeing, the girl was wearing slightly tight long boots. There was an armored plate and a heat dissipating fin, which was apparently more like a weapon than a footwear. Is it a guy called Battle Boots?

The conversation continues with the manager of the store, who doesn't look as robust, whether my presence is faint or obsessed with the story, and the girl with black hair tied to twin tails.

"So, ma'am, what can I do for you at the cluttered class store over there? From what I've seen, it's not like your weapon's in there, is it?

"Oh yeah, Atashi, it's kind of like the manager one way or another. Yeah, well, I just wanted to ask you something. Here, these boys don't show their faces?

That said, the girl seemed to offer the manager her right hand. I don't see it from me angularly, but maybe I'm showing an AR photo or something to see from the conversation.

"... hmm? Oh, my God, isn't that Beowulf?"

- Huh?

"Oh, the face you know? Alright, I finally pulled the hit!

A girl who can only see her back and back of her head poses as a gut. Speaking of which, he sounds familiar without heart or voice and looks familiar in hindsight...

"I know, but nothing, he's been our regular lately. He's a good customer. Well, you don't buy weapons just for maintenance. No, it's time to come... whoa?

When the manager noticed me, he tilted his neck and looked at me.

"What?"

Then the twin-tailed girl looks back at me.

My eyes are on me.

My gaze and my amethyst gaze make noise.

…………

――――

An electric shock ran all over my body. There was no sound or light. It was as if a lightning strike had struck directly.

Because it was someone I knew who was there, but it wasn't supposed to be here.

"I don't know what to do with rumors. You were just fine, young lady. Beowulf, you have a visitor."

The manager, who knows nothing of the circumstances, said to me very casually. I know it's not offensive, but I need you to take a closer look at my face. Is this the human face bowled to [the customer]?

Chills, like if they put ice in his back, travel back and forth through his spinal cord many times.

"...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

I managed to squeeze out my voice as my cheek muscles caught on. Perhaps I accidentally took the form of a question because I didn't want to believe that this was a real event.

My amethyst-colored eyes looked at me. Eventually, however, those eyes turn against the bow and the pink lips change into a form of laughter.

That's the devil's smile.

It's the face of the predator who discovered the prey.

It's the look on the face of the bully who found him bullied.

"- Long time no see, Hart."

The girl - Flim - walked out at me, grinning, and smiling as a ruthless smile as an angel and a cat like a bottle of maple syrup that had been frozen over it.

"Sister, I missed you. Wow."

The bottom of the long boot comes close, making heavy noises. That's all I hear in my ear is the footsteps of a hell guard with a golden stick.

"... oh, no, wait...? Wait, Flim, wait? Hey, why? Why are you here? No, you know what, so... Eh, close! Close, close, close, close, close!

I didn't know I was backwards on the flim packing the distance from Zunzun, and when I realized it, I had the wall on my back.

Bang! and Flim's hand slapped on both sides of my face, completely pushed. A scary smile that I see for a long time fleshes to a breathtaking distance.

"You don't have Nan or Currie, do you? What is it? Is Hart an alle? I was wondering if you were fooling around with Atashi?

A grin that reminds me of a volcano that is about to erupt even now is imminent, and a voice that scrapes granite from the suspended lips of the corners of my mouth is emitted.

"Ah... right? Atashi, did you come all the way here with your master? You know what, for you, of course? And yet? Because? If I wanted to contact you because Atashi came this far..."

"- Ah..."

When I got here, I noticed. I noticed. To know why she's angry.

I feel even more bloody from the face that was already sky-blue, and turn into marine blue.

At the next moment, a vibrant flame blew up from the eyes of the Kah, and Amethyst.

"- You, you're on the blocklist about Atashi!? I can't reach you at all! I don't know what this is about! Huh!?

"Uh-oh!? Oh, sorry, sorry!?

Suddenly I apologize reflexively for the outburst of anger. Sadly for me, with quite a few tears.

but soon regained his sanity,

"- Oh, no, not!? Oh no!? No, Flim!? Um, well, there's a situation with this...!?"

"What did you find out? Ahhhhhhhh!!

Flim's fury crushed my appeal to explain why. The smiling mask flew away, and my childhood tame was furious with the long twin tails upside down.

"How dare you block an Atashi! Thanks to you, I've been looking all over the internet and walking around feathers. Come on! I'm still glad you were famous for being Beowulf or something, but how would I find you if you weren't! Huh!?

"Oops, calm down Flim!? So sorry, sorry -!?"

"Hey, lady and Beowulf. I don't care if it's a crazy fight or anything, but please don't use our products to shake the blade or anything, okay?

――――

Pita, and Flim stopped moving into the manager's sober penetration. Shuyu, and the twin tails that were floating in the aura of anger droop.

- Well, the store won't bother you.

Suddenly the tone of my voice calmed down and I stroked my chest down. Good, looks like you've calmed down.

"Well, I'll change places, Hart."

"... Huh?

And Flim reached out and took my back collar. [M]

"Sorry to disturb you, manager -!

"Huh? Hey, hey -!?"

Unexpectedly pulled by strong force, Flim tries to take me out of the store. I panicked.

"Ma, wait, wait!? I'm here to maintain my weapon.

"That's what Atashi's gonna do! Look, let's go!

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!?

Me being pinched up my neck like a cat and pulled over by a jerk. When the stunner and protest raised their voices, they had eyes with the manager behind the counter.

For some reason the manager gave a good thumbs up and a slightly clumsy wink.

"Beowulf, enduring a woman's irrationality is also a man's training, right?

I was taken out faster than to say anything back to the manager I was going to reluctantly decide.

"Well, if there's an excuse, I'll ask."

My room. Flim, sitting on my bed with his arms and legs together, said so from a distant height. Because it is indoors, I am taking off my black long boots and I am exposed to bare feet with a rough skin tone.

Speaking of me, I was seated on a cork mat on the floor. It is the embodiment of the upward and downward relationship.

Or, all of a sudden, around the appearance of the word 'excuse', I'm totally the bad guy. It was unreasonable.

"No... Um..."

Immediately after leaving the weapons store Caliburn, Flim said, "Show me where you live now! ♪ And I was forced, and I reluctantly brought this far ♪

"Can I ask you before that? Why are you here...?

I asked him several times on the way to my room, but he didn't answer me at all, like, "Ugh" or "Shut up" or "I'll tell you when I get there".

Flim's barefoot stretched out in front of him and pressed him against my right cheek.

"You don't seem to know where you stand, do you, Hart? Atashi is the one asking the question. You're the one who answers. I didn't say a word about asking questions from you."

"Oh, tyranny..."

"Huh? A queen?

"No!? What a mistake to hear!?

I think I'll bite him snugly on the soles of my feet blaming him for the urchin, but I'll put up with it because I'm definitely not sorry if I did that. It's the same as Hannu's cheek twist, and it doesn't hurt much.

Well, let me introduce you as late as I can.

Her name with a big attitude is Milliverty Flim.

No surname. A girl from the same clan as me, a relative, a cousin - and a childhood friend. It seems to have a long name just like mine, so it's nicknamed "Flim" from all around.

It should be noted that she calls herself my 'sister', but of course she is not my real sister and brother, and on the contrary she is the same age.

Yes, we were together all the time from the time we were born, when we met in a fifteen-square Mertre room, and that was the same brother and sister we grew up with.

Not until just a year ago.

"... I don't know, I... I think it was bad... whatever blocked it, I forgot to disarm it..."

Honestly apologizing is also kind of awkward, so I accidentally said it in such a far-fetched way while out of sight. I don't know, my lips get pointed.

"Huh? What is that? You don't think blocking is bad in itself, do you?

Exhale as if frightened, and Flim's soles flaunt my cheeks instead.

"Because... I was going to undo it properly later... and I was going to do something temporary..."

"I'm asking you why you blocked it. Atashi, did something terrible happen to you?

A grunt, and a thumb of the foot gently chooses the center of the cheek.

"... I'm glad you realize you're doing exactly that awful thing right now..."

Staring at Flim with his jit eyes, at least behind him, showing a slight resistance to falling. Then, once the soles of my feet had separated - I didn't seem to reflect at all on seeing my face - I began to explain it as a bump.

There's a good reason I misplaced her on the blocklist.

"- I was going to be independent... when I decided to be an explorer, to my grandmother, to Flim - not to rely on anyone, to be a fine explorer by myself... But if I could get in touch with you right away or have a message or call from you, I would have seemed determined... so I was going to block it all once and put it back together after it was okay..."

"But? No way, I completely forgot to unblock it and I'm going to now - so?

"Ugh..."

The sharp, but too natural penetration of the flim points to a stunning star.

In fact, I was seriously losing it. So much so that the block to my grandmother had finally been unblocked as I remembered when reporting that Kurokuen was broken. I wish I had remembered Flim at that time too - I totally forgot if my instincts took it upon themselves to repel it.

"Hey, do it, 'cause, ahhh... and my friend..."

"A friend?

Meanwhile, the soles of Flim's feet are pressed against his face. I can no longer complain about this incomplete act.

"And together.....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

"Huh?"

"Well, Nakama... I couldn't do it... so... I've been trying to make you feel better since I first became you..."

As I wander around, I gradually drop the tone of my voice, while diverting my gaze in an unsightly direction. The hindsight hits my shoulders and I'm going to be crushed.

A year ago. I made up my mind and left my hometown to be an explorer. To break my sweet heart, I put someone close to me on the block list and pushed myself. That was good.

But after all this time, I never budged, and I couldn't find my friend, Explorer's companion, and I was so pathetic and embarrassed that I couldn't unblock the list.

You already know it from there. The first base of activity, Kiatik Caban, was unable to make a companion until the end, and I moved to a Float Rise with Lunatic Babel. So I met Hannu, and there was so much going on that I still...

"... Phew..."

Flim's voice is as cold as the north wind. Even as he turns away, he can see his frightened gaze piercing him as a thorn.

In the end, it was my fault that I got a friend named Hanu and forgot about the blocklist while meeting a fellow named Rosé. Not even, there's no excuse for just unblocking your grandmother and forgetting Flim.

Nevertheless, is. I don't know what I'm talking about, but given the current situation, I don't think it's impossible that I was unconsciously going through with her.

And as I was sitting rather on the needle, Flim accidentally took my soles off my face and lowered them to the floor.

"-Ma, I know what's going on. Surely you didn't realize that Atashi was blocked until you came to this city? It's the same here that I haven't tried to contact you in a year, so, well, I'll forgive you for about this."

"Flim......"

I'm happy for a moment, but when I think about it, I go through my gaze from above, and it's a level thing to say whether I'm a king or a god.

"... I don't think there's any balance..."

"What? Still not trampled enough?

"Whoa!? Why does that happen!?

Hit the flim pointing back at his leg a little and do your best to show rejection. Yes, speaking of which, it was this personality, this childhood cousin.

I, uh, exhale, and then I urge her.

"Then it's Flim's turn next. Now you're gonna tell me, aren't you? Why are you here, Float Rise?

Flim glanced at this one with his amethyst eyes in his arms - kindred but not the same color as mine - and seemed bored,

"I can tell you, but I don't like your attitude"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!? How unreasonable is that!? That's crazy!

"Yes, yes, I understand. You just have to explain. You have to explain."

Even flies wave depressingly as if to get rid of them, and Flim pays off my objections.

"But if you think about it, you'll find out, right? You remember what you asked our master to do, don't you?

Saying he would explain, Flim has asked such a question with a pip pointing his index finger at him.

"Master...?

When it comes to Flim's master, it refers to my grandmother.

My grandmother, Raynesis, Maria. My grandmother said that when I was younger, I was exploring with my grandfather.

The type as an explorer was an enchanter (granting technique) and crafter (armor maker). He weighed heavily on the latter one way or the other, but he was still strong enough to fight alongside his grandfather, who was even called "Strong Hand (Four Hands)".

The two names at the time were "Glowing Wings (Vernd)" who called them.

Now he's retired to a boulder and lives the rest of his life secretly in his hometown. However, his reputation as a crafter has not diminished, and he still says that requests for the production of weapons are hiccups.

I've loved seeing my grandmother work like that since she was a kid. Even when you were playing with me, my grandmother started working, or she left everything alone and flew to the workshop.

Eventually, when he was twelve, Flim apprenticed to his grandmother. Just like I did with my grandfather, Tradidore, Ares, and your grandfather.

"- That means..."

When Black Xuan was shattered in the battle with Hercules, I sent a message to my grandmother, a stray quote. Then my grandmother didn't touch me about being out of touch for a year, she just replied to me like this.

'That was tough. In the near future, I will send your people. Give him the Black Emperor Steel Xuan. "

I read this, and I was wondering if someone from the haulier would come and get Kurokusen under my grandmother.

"... Huh?

The moment I understood, there was still a voice of doubt.

"Oh, okay? Your master told you, didn't he? Your people are coming. That's Atashi."

Put your hand on your chest and for some reason Flim proudly raises his jaw. Doya, I don't know what it means to look like.

Grandmother Maria, who was an enchanter and a crafter. Flim, his apprentice, is an enchanter and a crafter after all.

The transporter didn't come, but someone who could make and maintain weapons showed up.

"... No way..."

Rather than an unpleasant [hunch], [chills] drove me, and I squirmed in battle.

Flim said this with a smile, and an angelic devil's grin, his arms and feet together again, with a pretty voice that he had obviously made.

"No way. Atashi will fix it for you. Take your Black Xuan and White Tiger."

…………

Surprise and fear, when they cross the limit point, appear to be more of a state of disorientation. I didn't have the technique to describe a storm of amazement inside, I just petrified it. [M]

Actually, there's something I haven't told my grandmother yet. No, I couldn't tell you, should I?

That means - Black Xuan's fullness is shattered.

As I said before, Black Emperor Steel Xuan and White Emperor Silver Tiger are the shapes of his late grandfather. Two of the four weapons my grandfather once used, alias "Strong Hand", are Black Xuan and White Tiger.

Not to mention my grandfather Ares' weapon was made by my grandmother Maria, who was no other.

Even though I am truly sorry for that alone, I am here to be the flim of that disciple.

Flim is intoxicated by her grandmother Maria's skills. I've always worshipped many of the weapons I created with that hand, like God or something. It is remembered that for a long time "one day, Atashi will inherit all of his master's skills and the maintenance of his weapons" he often spoke of his ambitions.

What would happen if I showed such a flim a shattered black Xuan and a white tiger whose internal mechanism broke and could no longer even be pulled out of the sheath?

"Ever since I left that way, I've heard that you can't even use the White Tiger after Black Xuan, right? Well, if you haven't had a full year of maintenance, the family heirloom passed down from generation to generation will come naturally, won't it? But don't worry. I'll fix it for you."

Flim winks a little teary, apparently happy to have been entrusted with servicing the weapon he longed for, with a nimble mouth. I'm in a pretty good mood for a long time. [M]

There was only despair.

Flim gave me a hand to stain the sweat from the pores in my face.

"Let it out, Hart. I'll finish it perfectly with all the spirit of Black Xuan, White Tiger, and Atashi."

See here What dwells in the purple crystal eyes, that's the challenger's eye. A willingness to touch the work of great predecessors and to challenge oneself to the limits. The face of a seeker for height.

"- I hear that the development of Black Xuan and White Tiger is also very difficult...?

With a trembling voice, I tried my last evil retribution. Regardless, I knew somewhere in my head that there was no way she would back off to this extent and that the time to decimation would only extend a few times.

My cousin and child-friendly girl laughed, and for some reason paid for the twin tails on her shoulders in a well-dressed manner, she winked once. I said this with a kime face.

"It's okay, Atashi. [Genius] So..."

――――

I couldn't do it anymore. The excuse remnants are exhausted.

"……………………… Then please…"

I gave up and retrieved the Black Xuan and White Tiger that had been digitized from SEAL's storage. On the cork mat in front of you, materialize.

My deep-purple Photon Blood was brilliant, and the white tiger and black Xuan pattern in the sheath appeared, and then - apart, the pitch-black fragments that were full were scattered simultaneously.

"Huh?"

Flim's voice felt that the contents were empty when I opened the box of birthday presents excitedly.

"- - Is that it?"

Go on, if you look closely, there was a big hole in the bottom, a question mark like that. To what, to whom, not against such a small thing. More like asking questions about the world, destiny or something big, such as' that? '.

Why? and.

…………

Flim's time stopped. I stare at the shattered black Xuan figure and don't move as it solidifies.

I can't say anything. There's no way I can tell you.

I just could easily imagine the later. So to prevent neighborhood nuisance, he let his hand touch the barefoot of the flim floating in front of him and activated the assistive technique "Acoustic Cancella".

As a result, our sound never reaches the outside world.

It was right after that.
