After the award ceremony for itself. As he stood on the stage, Kate remembered a few things he thought of when he was going to give a speech due to various circumstances.

……

What battlefield was that? It was so long ago that I wasn't sure anymore. And it didn't matter. It was a memory, so it stays sunk deep in my memory. but I never forgot about the story then. That was before I met Tina yet. It was when Will and the others were working together around the world to develop a fighting attitude.

"Hahahahaha!

Oh, that sounds stupid. I'm not fighting for these guys. These guys are mistaken about that. Kite just laughs like crazy at the words she says.

Well, you don't know what it's like to say that. This is war. So it's crazy but not a mistake. In madness, madness is what makes it right. He is therefore the madman who keeps himself sane.

"What's... suspicious?

'Hahaha...... no, excuse me. It was so ridiculous, I laughed.'

Kate bows her head rudely by wiping the tears she conveys to her eyes. but affirmed without any hesitation.

'So that's the answer...... asshole. I don't care where you come from. You guys just look like bad guys. So I'm just saying I'll protect you...... dissatisfied?

'No way are you going to shelter the demons!?

'Oh yeah... is there a problem?

In response to a murderous inquiry, Kite is flat out. Thus, he unequivocally affirmed.

"A flower garden or a hypocrite? You got to laugh. You got to laugh. Are you out of your mind? That's good. I didn't think we'd do anything about it."

There is too much blood in this battle. I also know that Kate can't end it now without bleeding one more person. So he later killed Tistenia.

I knew it was possible to be manipulated. But still, someone has to be killed for sure. That was none other than him who supposedly had a coup d 'état in the public.

Somewhere, someone has to put on some kind of bullshit. I couldn't avoid all that, beyond the possibility that the detriment could come to those who knew everything and loved themselves. but that's why he puts me through everywhere.

"But... the only one I kill is the one I decide to kill."

Against the overwhelming intent to kill, Kate emits just enough power to completely prevent it by herself. Behind him, a young brother nodded. Those two were demons.

It was a clear story, but because of the reform by Tina, the majority of the demons love peace just like ordinary people. But as long as the Demon King is an enemy, it is no mistake that the Demons themselves are enemies.

So the soldiers saw and murdered the demons. Speaking of which, I have no choice. The demons are killing my family, my people. Do not destroy all demons. I understand that there is no wonder as a kite that even such a euphemism could have been made. but that's why what it is.

'And... the only one I've decided to protect is the one I've decided to protect. If you mean to kill these two... you know what happens.'

It's not an inquiry. I assure you, Kite is the only one who answers to the murderous soldiers with intent to kill. These two obviously haven't killed anyone, and they've just fled the war. So if you mean to be killed because you're a demon, that was just irrational.

"Then you are an enemy!

Yes, yes, someone's voice echoes. but kite doesn't care at all. Come if you want. That's all. That's why we have the power to be the devil's brake. As such, the lid was easily cut off.

"Ohhhh..."

……

Kate fainted the last one and just had a slight grief. I didn't mean to kill you. Be willing to kill. It's just a payback. You don't need to kill more than you are overwhelming yourself. Therefore, I did not kill anyone.

Most importantly, it would be too ridiculous for a dead man to come out of something so ridiculous. If this is going to happen again, just stop it again. I was already ready for that.

'... are you all right?

"Um... thank you"

My brother and thoughtful boy bow their heads to Kite as he shelters his brother. Besides, Kate gave herself up and smiled.

"Oops. Be polite. I'm the one who's supposed to mark you when you're your age."

"Wow."

I get a little messy stroking of my head and my brother leaks his voice like he's tickled unexpectedly. but he asked Kite a little anxiously like that.

'Um... is that good...?

'Yeah......? Uh... I don't know if it's been a little too much.'

There would have been more than a hundred of them. They unilaterally defeated the soldiers. It will definitely matter. but I didn't mean to worry about it. More now than ever, he is an outlaw unreliable man. His name is not Kite Floyline, either, and he uses another pseudonym he made.

And it was one kite who did. You will never have found out who you are with the adopted son of Hermes the Great Sage, and Aura has never bothered you. Therefore, Kite has a bit of a bitter laugh.

but I have no fine dust regrets or reflections. Anyway, it's too unreasonable for two people to be killed. It would be right to protect it as a person.

'Well, never mind. Obviously, these are the bad guys. You didn't do anything wrong. "

"But..."

Would they kill even Kite for covering themselves up? My brother asks anxiously.

'Ha ha. That's what worries me. Who can't live without harming someone in this world? So, what are you two doing here on purpose? The realm ruled by the Demons would be more north, wouldn't it?

"... Um"

I'll tell you why my brother came all the way to Kite, just like he decided to. That's how Kate decided to fight for the Demons again.

Kite still hasn't forgotten about that time. I have rubbed it many times after that, naturally. Naturally. We fight to protect the Demons in an age when they are enemies. That was often more problematic since I got the name Brave Man. On the contrary, there have been few major problems.

Unfortunately, this is emotional theory. It's something that you can't persuade with words. The reason is also extremely simple and clear. They took my family from me. That anger. There's no way I can convince you. He himself understood that more than anyone else.

Therefore, he has at times silenced himself with force. All this, I had no choice. Sometimes the only way to protect it is to use your strength. Regardless, he also knows that it's not everything. But it's only true that there are times when you can't.

……

Well, I wonder what the boys saved at that time are doing. Kate looks at the venue from the stage sleeve laughing with a little fun. Then, it was easy to find. Naturally, because they came to Kate's after the war and said they wanted to help. If it were, my two sisters would be with me. Now he was one of the ancient squire.

"I don't know if I'll find out."

Just a little bit, that kind of concern turns my head. but I didn't get lost.

"Ushi."

I've decided to be ready. I have a word to say right now. To tell you that, Kate got this speech. So he walks out.

……

Standing on the stage where Emperor Leonhardt stood until earlier, Kate once looked around the whole thing. The percentage would be half for ordinary citizens, 10% for nobility, and half for the remaining 40% for inner adventurers and soldiers. I can say just right salt plum.

……

Even though I'm still used to speaking, I'm usually nervous before speaking with Kite. So he closes his eyes only once and takes a deep breath. That's how I slowly opened my eyes and started talking.

"First of all... I want to ask all the powerful people"

I guess that's what you call a brave kite. The voice was very clear and reached everyone's ears even without a speaker. but that's not all. Untold power dwelt in his words.

Therefore, at that moment. Even the perimeter of the venue, which I should have bothered to do, became quiet. No, on the contrary, all those who listen to this speech through video quieted down.

"Who's next to you now? Friends? Friends? Beloved... I want you to remember that for once"

In a silence-generating venue, Kate closes her eyes once as she looks at her own hands. Besides, a few of them closed their eyes the same way. Kite doesn't know what you thought. I don't know, but I'm sure you're only remembering. Therefore, he continued his words.

"Those who have lost it. I'll tell you in advance. I have no intention of stopping that revenge. Vengeance is unproductive. You must understand that word best. Revenge is not about creating one from scratch. It's only about zeroing the downside. But if we get to zero, we can't move on."

Kite only stops at the shrine in Raingard. That is where those who have stomped off will gather those who have finished the battle. Kate stops fighting there no matter what. Because it is even disrespectful to those who have brought it to an end.

"On top of that... I want you to listen. If you think there's nothing left to protect, do you? I want you to stop and think about it just once now."

As a former avenger, Kate remembers Yuri. At that time, I thought there was nothing to lose. but there was definitely something I didn't want to lose. I just didn't realize that.

"O all who fight. Fight for what? Is it for the country? For the Lord's sake. I'm not. I've only fought for me."

Probably a big problem if this is what you say as Lord McDawell. No, it doesn't have to be. It's a big problem. Great power comes with great responsibility. Kite publicly denied it.

than he is said to be the strongest in the world. but he assured me without hesitation of any kind, and he never thinks this is a mistake.

"I fight to protect what I want to protect. What is the problem with that? And so will you. Let's get this straight. Who needs to protect a guy who doesn't care? Wrong as a person? Do those with power have to use it to do the right thing? Let me get this straight. That's as much as shit!

Kite's words, which were supposed to give rise to twitching and twitching, did not, however, give rise to them. Because the powerless could not be born swallowed by too strong a word, and the powerful took this for granted.

Every one of them knows that. Fighting is scary. It hurts, it's painful, it's hard. There's no way you can like him but a madman.

Why should I do that for someone I don't like? No one will want to do it. It's just such a natural thing. They are not saintly princes. No matter how powerful you are, you're a normal person.

"I lost a lot of important things by the time I gained strength. There's not much I could take back. I could just take it back, it's still your word. Serve the power gained from that pain free of charge. That would only be too ridiculous a story. So let's say. I don't impose anything."

Kite, who roughed up his voice, once again speaks quietly, but the power that is put into the word speaks in different dimensions.

"I don't protect it because I don't like it. It would be good. That should do it. It's the power that you've had with your blood and tears. No matter how you use it, unless it's taken away from you, you can't be blamed for anything."

Again, Kate preaches the point. As such, he continues to speak further without any objections or opinions. But this time it wasn't powerful, and sincere thoughts were in it.

"But... it's only true that you have power. So just a little, I want to ask. Is your power the best you can do just to protect what is in your hands? No, I'm not. And so will you."

Kate looks at her hands again and remembers the power to dwell there. This power protects and destroys the world. That's all the power. I'm pretty sure that's excessive to protect what's important in your hands.

If you want to protect me, you don't have to do this. The majority of adventurers are. If you're just protecting yourself and your friends, there's no mistake in saying that's excessive.

"So, please. Just a little. Good with that extra force. Help me protect those who are powerless to fight."

For the swallowed audience, Kate decides to expand the story further. Until now, it is a word against those who fight, against those who are powerful. So from here on out it was a word for all.

"They have no power to fight. But that just doesn't have the power to fight directly. We are always fighting with them. Let's ask the people who ate breakfast this morning at some stall or cafeteria. How many times have you eaten their meal? Who's making that ingredient? It's not us. Even if we're told to do it, there's no way we can. You can't be as good as they are when you finally do it. They are fighting their battles. They are also the fighters."

Once again, Kate preaches the importance of protecting those who are powerless to fight. Thus he takes one deep breath and again speaks to all.

"... there are numerous dark clouds in the world right now. Remember the other day when the Sun God and the Moon Goddess thanked each other? A lot of people must have wondered about that. I was wondering why, and conveniently, we were able to capture terrorists. That's not a terrorist. That is a follower of the Evil God. It was their raid."

Here Kate mentions the other day's incident. This is why I kept it hidden. I was going to use it here to boost my war.

"Me and him both took part in that operation because of the fringe my people fought against the spirits of the evil gods earlier... so I saw. The battle of mythology. That's not the enemy you'd ever win alone."

Guh, and Kate grips her hand and unequivocally affirms. That's definitely not a winnable opponent if you're a co-adventurer. Together, they can manage to win. I needed you to know that.

"At this time, I guess I'm on the verge of having an old brave man's name. I can never be a flag like him, but I can ask you to be just like him. So, please. All those who fight. Good with that little extra force. Give me a hand. Let me give you a little help too... and bring the light that the brave once showed back to the world, once and for all!

"" "Whoa, whoa, whoa!

In keeping with the words of Kate, who shook up her fist, which she gripped forcefully, all the people in the venue roared and raised their hands. That's how Kate decided to bow her head to all their audiences and leave the scene behind.
