"... you'll regret it."Even if you could stop me here, you would have taken my hand honestly at that time. "

"At that time, I'll just be in your shoes right now."I'll do it alone and stand up to my country's opponents. "

"Fu, hahaha, hahaha!!!Is that what you think? [M]But I want you to be clear about whether you're rational or stupid.But I don't hate that idea.It's just that it's not compatible right now. "

———— But that's why I'm sorry about Naomi.I had to kill you.

Saying that, out of nowhere, Amuse picks up the product.

A pair of daggers with silver glittering swords.

There was no gap in his sudden standing position, and "he was no less powerful than the wizard hunter."

There were several wizards around.

By contrast, there were only two of us.

Nevertheless, the situation is even more unfavorable.

From my point of view, it was always like that.Therefore, there is not much relationship.

Holding such an impression, you can put your strength into the hand that clamps the handle,

"---- Now, we've been looking for bad guys, and if we find them, we'll find them, and I don't think we can hit one of the reports, right?"

A voice painted with dazzling emotions shakes my eardrums.

Voices heard from far away.

It belonged to Lirea.

And on that side, I wonder if it's because of the explosion.

Even Sophia was busy looking around.

"Why are you here?"You look like you are.But you can't help it, can you? This is how you get ahead of yourself. [M]That's why I put it on (.........).Sophia can't leave you alone, either. "

Lirea's words made sense.

My personality and the personality of Sophia who looks after me.

With that in mind, I don't have that many doubts about Lirea's presence here.

So, if there is one unnatural point, there is only one.

I was around the corner, and on the other side, even Lusas.

How did Lirea follow along with Sofia while both me and Lucas remained unnoticed until now?

”... I was wearing it, huh?”

Lucas, did you get caught in the same spot as me?Murmuring in an oozing, distrustful voice as he clenched his eyebrows.

"It's [magic] like that." It's mine, isn't it? "

I don't know the magic of Lirea.

However, the existence of magic makes "impossible" acts "possible".

Therefore, when I was told that, I had no choice but to be satisfied.

Because I am the same wizard as everyone else, and because I am Lusus.

"I won't apologize for following you."Because Julius is to blame.Besides, Sophia's too irresponsible. "

And for some reason, they blame me.

Sophia, who was at her side, had a flattering expression on her face that could not be said to be in a good mood.

"I know what you're thinking."Including the fact that the swordsman was a selfish creature.However, I didn't mean to say this from my mouth, but do you know why Sophia learned the magic of healing? "

"... because Sophia has a talent and I wanted to grow it,"

That's probably why Sophia left the village with Lirea and the others before me.

When I returned my words, I was even more shocked.

"The reason for this is that"

"Hey!? Lirea-san!?"

Sophia tried to stop Lirea trying to arrange the words of reason without hesitation, but Lirea's mouth could not be shut.

"I couldn't leave my dangerous childhood friend alone."By the way, I wanted to help my stupid childhood friend who was seriously injured and helped me all the way to the end. "

…………

Unintentionally, I shut up.

"I know very well that Julius is longing for someone and is aiming for that person."After all, I was with the sword training. "

A swordsman is a creature that speaks with a sword.

Therefore, if you exchange swords, you will probably understand it.

Even if it is not cut out in one piece.

"However, I have to pay careful attention to the people I don't want to lose."You don't know, but the mastermind there came to see us when you were gone. "

…………

I was so obsessed with it in front of me, that I didn't feel that way, and I bit my teeth in my heart.

For me, Sophia is someone I don't want to lose.

Even though I was supposed to be aware of it in my interactions with Augur at that time.

If you don't get involved, that's fine.

That's why I always assumed that there would be no problem for one of us to advance.

"I know that I can't see the front, and I know why I'm in a hurry to live, but I'm not impressed.Ah, because this is a grateful advice from senpai in life. "

There is a continuing possibility that something that can be grasped by continuing to reach out will be "someday".

But anything that falls out of your hand once will never come back.

Lirea said it casually, but it seemed strange that the words had a weight that was difficult to put into her tongue.

"... unusually, that's a rhetorical tongue." Usually, I don't want to talk about the past at all, and I'm not like you. "

"I don't want to go on talking, but I don't want to hide anything.Besides, if the magic effect is found out, there's no point in hiding it anymore. "

In this world, the magic that is expressed is basically related to what the user strongly wished for.

For example, if you continue to wish for the resurrection of the dead, you will feel like you have the equivalent of a magical ability.

That's why many people express magic at moments that can be said to be a turning point in their lives.

Therefore, as long as you know each magic ability, what kind of past did you have?

I have a rough prediction.

Of course, there is no possibility of coincidence, but it was extremely unlikely.

”... so you're going to get in my way?”

"For once, I'm an adventurer in the capital."There's a connection between people, and if you do it on your own, you'll be in trouble. [M]Ahh, of course, there's a reason why I wanted to go berserk. "

I let it out in a daze.

The reason for the extreme ambivalence was Amusement, who had a slightly dazzling face, but judged that there was no room for persuasion, and shut up.

Well, even if you just sit back and watch, when you "try" to use your magic on me and Sophia, that's a good idea.

At that point, I'm not going to make the choice to make you smile, am I?"Lirea told him.

"... hey, kid. Is it okay to recognize that girl as an ally?"

"Sofia and Lirea are on our side."You can trust me with that. "

I see.

It would have been obvious from what I said, but for the time being,

I will respond to that question from Lusas.It was probably about Lirea, who seemed to be a big girl.

Immediately after I thought about it.

————

The figure of Amuse with a pair of daggers suddenly disappeared.

Then, while listening to the sound of grounding and the sound of cutting the wind as it grows louder and louder from far to near, I treat the sword that I created like a shield and put it out in front of me.

Immediately afterwards, a definite feeling passed through his arms across the sword, and sparks searched the area.

"Julius!?"

Sophia shouted at the sudden change, but before she could react to it, a thin voice came from Amses.

"... I'll do it."

Katakata, trembling artifacts.

In the midst of an imminent conflict, praise was directed.

"Surely, you're right."I'll crush it if I don't like it anymore.Yeah, that's right. I think the idea is quite right.But in general, when the country doesn't like it anymore, the price is set after it has already lost something deadly.Just like me and the people you admire. "

As I thought earlier, Amuse was very familiar with the man who slashed the stars.

... no, that's a horn.

"...... Mr. Amuse"

There was only one unexplained question.

Hmmm?

"Why did you call me here?"

The wizards began to move quickly.

Lyrea and Lusas head for their maneuver, which will be manipulated by Amusement.

"If you didn't want to be disturbed, you didn't have to call me here in the first place."

"No, that's what happened.I called because there was a problem. That was the promise. "

Promise?

I can't let you get in the way of the wizard hunt anymore.

Amuse jumped backwards as she parried her sword.

... Sure enough, without Amusement, I would have headed under the [Wizard Hunting Vase] by now.

"For the Wizard Hunt, we need to properly deal with that troublesome aristocrat and obsessed Knight Commander."

"... I thought you had told them that the Commander of the Knights had returned, but that's what it is...!!"

Therefore, you can lead the leading candidate who is likely to get in the way to a different place from the beginning.

That must have been Amuse's idea.

That's why they called me here.

"You guys are too raw."In all of this, it's soulless. Virtuous aristocrats can be trapped and punished.But you did nothing more to sabotage it. [M]Hey, what happened as a result!? "

Amses shouted aloud.

"Escaping the sin somehow, repeating the excuse, and repeating the evil as if nothing had happened.That was a repetition, wasn't it?!You see, I would have been more correct in my thinking.Nothing will change without sacrifice. "

The information I don't know is confusing.

"I got rid of the people you guys were just interfering with, so they couldn't stand it!"... that's right? That said, the Marquis of Gaveria, my parents, were rough and rough when they took care of the noblemen who were their babies. "

"The night of the battle with the Wizard Hunt."

It reminds me of Lusas telling me to watch out for the Marquis of Gavelia.

Kidnapping nobles who were interrupted by the former Knights were killed one after another.

The Marquis of Gavelia was definitely angry.

Then it is true that in this case, "Wizard Hunting" was not attributed to Amusement, but to the Marquis of Gaveria and the reason why Lususus was mistaken.

"The nobles (they) do not doubt that their position will not be infringed upon by anyone.That's why you can do whatever you want.That's why we need sacrifices to change this.There's a lot of sacrifices you can't turn your back on. "

It leads to the rescue of millions of people in the future.

Then it would be a cheap sacrifice at the expense of the hundreds of people we've sacrificed, right?

"Hey, Julius. Didn't you say that?I was worried that the Knights would be gone.No, that's not true. The Knights are also responsible for the persistence of this state of affairs.That's why I didn't hesitate to choose the Knights for my sacrifice! ”

Leave it to the emotions.

Does the toothbrush not work?

While his eyes were bleeding, he discarded his usual calm somewhere, and Amses spoke.

"Listen, Julius." Most of the nobles in this country are rotten.And the Knights are useless alleviators that only protect people from their rotten filth.Hey, do you really need this mechanism?If I have to, I will run to protect myself, and allow the people to be abandoned, killed, and sacrificed as a matter of course. The tragedy is worth laughing at by saying, "Life has superiority and inferiority"!?No, I don't think so. I don't have it.That's why I'm here. "

"----That's why you continue to avenge the aristocrat who cut it off as a noble sacrifice, even though you may have been able to help your family. Alstead Bernabas?"

A new voice interrupted Amuse's words.

It was the voice that I had heard from the other side just a little while ago.

"...... You're coming at the right time?"Xenor Almerida, the current Deputy Knight Commander? "

It was the voice of Zenoah Almerida.
