Shi ni Modori, Subete wo Sukuu Tame ni Saikyou He to Itaru

"You win, Eric. For the first time, I beat Eric. Especially not happy."

I can't hear the sound that should have been ringing outside.

I'm still stabbing my sword to the ground and kneeling, but if I lose any strength at all, I'm going to collapse.

It's getting hard to breathe too......

"Tina was behind you when you thought you wouldn't back off."

Seeing Tina sleeping behind me, I hear Elena whining so slightly emotionally.

"I was hit by an explosion earlier. Well, even if they hadn't done it, it wouldn't make much difference because I was gonna do it like you did."

Through beside me, trying to get close to Tina.

I won't let you go.

Keep the opponent you know as your enemy away from Tina, who is defenseless.

I squeeze my strength and wave my sword to the right.

"Huh! I'm surprised... I can still move"

But even Mr. Elena, whose reaction was delayed, could only wield his sword fast enough to prevent it.

"Wow, Julina passed out in an instant,"

"Huh! To Yulina too, did you...?

Even the words of Elena, who is so close, sound like she is saying them in the distance.

"That kid was getting stronger, too. Thanks to Eric. You are the most unexpected person on this mission. [M] Why did a strong kid like you suddenly come out and hide where? I didn't expect Mr. Felix to be defeated."

"You know Felix...?

"Of course, Mr. Felix was the one who bought the most information I got from my spy. The truth is, Mr. Felix's army was supposed to attack us, not the Lindo Empire."

Well, even in the previous life, was Mr. Elena a soldier in the Kingdom of Begonia as a spy?

So is this time of battle the same in previous and present life?

Since Mr Elena was circulating information on both occasions, he has been attacked in the absence of the deputy commanders, Mr Liberto and Mr Viviana.

"I'm helping a little because the Lindo Empire is weak, but I didn't expect you and Vice Commander Viviana to be back."

After all, the explosion just now was caused by Mr. Elena.

"But I'm glad you're back. If I were Lieutenant Liberto, it would have been difficult."

Kneel down in front of me, Mr. Elena, and I'll get my gaze on you.

My eyes are sumptuous and I can only see a little, but I can still see you laughing.

"Eric is sweet, so I thought he'd be upset when he fights me. That's why it was so easy to take him down."

"-!"

I wave my sword at Elena in front of me.

But it's easy to avoid whether it was too late or what Elena expected.

"Why, why...! All, were you lying...! You're saying that everything we've lived together has been a lie...!

I scream as I suppress my breath, which is getting rough.

We've lived together the past month.

We trained together, worked and even took a bath.

Was that action, words, and smile a lie?

"... lying, I wonder if it was. I don't know either. I didn't forget my assignment as a spy, and that makes me lie. I can't tell you it's all a lie we laughed together."

It was Ellen's word I've been talking about emotionally, but I feel a little emotional on it.

"Then why are you doing this...!

"Because it's a mission. To live, work matters, doesn't it?

Work? To live?

Nothing. You shouldn't have to do your job as a spy.

It's hard to be a soldier in the Kingdom of Begonia.

Elena also said it took three years.

You should be able to live with this job alone.

"You're straight, aren't you? I guess I've lived straight for some purpose."

"What, say...?

Sure, I hope I don't regret what I've been through in my last life.

I've lived so I don't lose anything I've lost anymore.

for that purpose.

"Because I couldn't live straight. Because I've lived bent, twisted, rotten."

What do you mean?

I don't know what that means.

"You got upset to take me down because you're straight. I was able to defeat you right away because I was crooked. That's the difference."

Again, Mr. Elena crouches right in front of me.

I don't have the power to wave a sword anymore.

"You told me you were my friend. I thought so, too. No, I might still think so."

"Then why...!

"It's an easy thing, just different things to prioritize"

A sharp pain ran on my shoulder.

If you look closely with your sweet eyes, you have a dagger stabbed in your shoulder.

Did Elena stab me?

"For the sake of purpose, I could have attacked you. You may have been my friend with priority, but I preferred purpose."

When I heard that word, my physical paralysis grew all at once.

A dagger is pulled out of his shoulder, and he falls and falls as-is.

"It's been fun. I'll see you somewhere. At that time, we were enemies."

And finally, I let go of consciousness...
