It was a very simple, then gentle shield like a warm leaking day.

The effect is by far the highest of the shields.

It is said that the effect of this shield can be increased on a different shield from the Enchant.

That alone increases my defense endlessly.

And...... the subhuman series and the slaver series, as well as the fellow series, were forcibly released.

Includes gear bonuses.

In other words, slaves, subhumans, and companions are all nothing more than to say that their abilities rise exponentially.

Turn it into a spirit tortoise as usual.

Grow up by the power of growth!

It's turned into a shield for the Spirit Turtle Armor!

The extra ups are working.

I can't afford to see what kind of abilities I've developed now......

Those who had been treated had also finished their treatment at some point.

The therapists are making noise that it's a miracle.

But......

Step forward from the tent, dance in the sky, look at the featherworms.

"Cuyyyyyyyy!"

It's a loud bug.

I'm not in the mood for your opponents right now.

But now that you're here, the battle won't end and it won't quiet down.

Then there's only one thing I'll do.

"Filo!"

Big, calling Phyllo, who is fighting good against the featherworm.

"... what?

My expression and Philo, who cared about Atra's capacity, comes down and asks with a sad look.

I never knew before, I could see Feelo's kindness.

I don't know if that's the power of Atra, or the power of the shield of mercy.

It's not just hate, it's a mixture of tender things... contradictory things boiling down in my chest.

But I don't want to think this feeling is the effect of a shield.

"Take me to the man who's high."

"Yeah...... you do it"

"Oh, we're just finishing the extension!

On Phyllo's back, I fly toward the featherworms that maintain high altitude.

"Firo, get the timing right."

"Okay -"

"Cuyyyyyyyy!"

The featherworms are turning their eyes on us and trying to tear us apart with their nails.

Is it best to compare it to calm?

Even if you see someone you hate, your heart won't stain black.

But I know the pain.

I can see the irrationality of the world.

Wounds received...... I can see the sorrow of the lost.

You have to be angry because you can understand.

"Shut up."

Gashi and I take the feather claw with one hand... and throw the feather toward the ground as it is.

"Cuy!?

The featherworm, turning his eyes, takes an attitude in the air and comes winging toward us.

"Feelo, kick it off"

"Ugh, yeah!

Follow my instructions. Phyllo descends in a straight line towards the featherworm so that it falls from a high altitude.

Gus, that sounded so good.

Immediately after that, I jump on a feather from Phyllo.

"Ohhhhh!?

"Fine, Philo, take me right before you land."

"Ugh, yeah!

I declared to Filo as I made Dos listen and activated Gravity Field.

It didn't work before, but I can do it now.

"Cu...... Cuy!

Featherworms that I can't fly by the weight I ride, I repeat my wings desperately trying to fly high, but I can't maintain the height.

Fall straight to where the low altitude featherworm is.

"Filo!"

Just before I hit the ground, I jump and get caught by Firo.

Then, on the battlefield where the smoke rises as it is, grab each of the two featherworms and declare to the people around you.

"Guys! Do it!

"Hey, Preface!?

"What are you doing? Quickly finish him off."

"Okay! Tiger Break!"

The earliest person to act was Fowl.

Well, I guess so.

Now I can understand how you feel more than anything... I feel.

Of course, I may not know what it's like to lose a flesh parent.

But I know what Atra was like.

"Don't worry about me. As soon as possible, we have to finish him off. You have to kill him at the same time!

"" Oh!

The out-of-the-mouth people nod and unleash each special attack.

"The script, Atra..."

Smelt asks between attacks.

……

I turned a blind eye silently.

I don't want to think about it right now.

"Knock..."

Did you understand the intent, the smell leaked a painful voice.

Strengthens the power that can be put into the sword at the same time.

"My body...... light!

Keel's penetrating bite wears a feather worm.

"Yeah. It's like I just... moved completely differently"

The moves of the slaves and those who are trooping with me are visibly better and the attacks are sharper.

slave series, and would be enhanced by the forced emancipation of fellow series.

I haven't checked, but it must have a huge amount of effect.

It's all because of Atra.

"Quickly. I'll finish it sooner. Destroy the unreasonable here, the grief… as soon as possible"

There are two featherworms all in one to make each attack on me, but it doesn't hurt or itch.

Nails, braces and wings are all pointless.

Everyone is unilaterally held hostage to the same prey as enemies who cannot move in one place.

"Gravity sword!

"Brewnak!"

"Bird hunting!

"Tornado throw!

"Eight Pole Array Heavenly Sword!

"Soura... Soura!

In the fight against the featherworms, high-powered people unleash a special attack on each featherworm......

"" Cuyyyyyyy!

One screams while the other starts a weird heartbeat.

Yes, a suicide bomber.

Of course, I won't let that happen.

"Tiger Lampage!"

Eventually, all of them, Fowl's Special Attack was hit and the two vanished almost simultaneously.

"" "Whoa, whoa, whoa!

The ambition of victory woods the spirits around.

The wings shake like snow, and I just sit quietly in them.

"Atra...... we did it"

Raise your shield high and I'll report a victory.

The truth is, I could have won without sacrificing you.

Definitely... I'm not going to forgive the guy who did this.

"Smelt! You know what I mean?

"Oh!"

"Tell the Queen too. Broil the guy who imitated you like this! Never forgive me!

He's too likely to be a seven-star brave man who says he's coming late or something.

This responsibility, how can you!

I called in Philo and instructed him to go to the root where that flash was emitted.

Smelt also follows on the gaelion.

But I searched that day until the sun went down, but I could never find anyone who looked like the killer.

"Damn! Where did the killer disappear!

"No more searches are meaningless. Sentence, you rest first."

They'll tell me what to smell.

"What are you talking about!

"I'll report it when I find it. Until then, be patient."

"But..."

"Please..."

I tried to argue with you, and you told me to smell it.

The expression was a complex object mixed with sadness and anger.

"Sentence, you're not the only one angry. I'm full of rage, too."

"... right"

"I'm going to say it because it's on the line. An angry sword just appeared. Of course, I don't want to use it, but at that time, I was surprised that Sang-wen felt this way."

…………

"I'm not going to forgive the killer either. But just calm down a little bit."

That's what they say... it just calms me down a little bit.

When I get really angry, I feel like I'm under the illusion that I'm calm.

I can't explain my emotions in a word.

I felt a heterogeneous rage dominating my head compared to when Vitch betrayed me.

Maybe we should just take a little break now.

You should rest to the extent that you can distinguish who you should protect from who you should be angry with.

Yeah, I think I'm calm. I'm watching my mind.

"... ok. Sorry, I'll take care of it later."

I sit by the temple where the sun is about to set.

The search is still ongoing.

When the smell cautions me to rest, I realize I've never been more angry.

The shield of mercy certainly diminishes the anger that scorches you.

But I can't forgive you any more.

Too deeply irrational, sad, painful… and so on.

When anger cools down just a little, the next thing you know, the feeling of loss dominates your mind like a hole in your chest.

Raftalia stood in front of me when I realized it.

"Mr. Atra is... cowardly. I was going to ask Master Naofumi to turn around with my strength..."

"Right... but... now"

"I know. I know... please stop crying"

And the raftaria that I say is crying the most.

It's such a caged tear in my heart that I can understand someone's pain.

I'm not crying.

At the same time I said it, I noticed something telling my cheeks.

Is this... a tear?

I had no consciousness that I had been crying since I left the tent.

But...... maybe everyone knew.

You must be crying.

"Ugh..."

As soon as I realized that, nothingness began to dominate my thoughts.

"Dear Naofumi..."

I accidentally hugged Raftaria and cried out.

After the duel at the castle, I was going to decide not to cry anymore.

I can't stop crying.

Tears overflow every time I try not to cry.

Someone's grief, their suffering, their pain.

I can understand now that it's not shameful, it's the right thing to do.

Closer than anyone, I think of the girl who became a shield... now I just... want to be quiet, crying.
