"Hey! You're asking me, right? Do something!"
How many times have I talked to a strap of shields or a book of four holy weapons already?
The sun goes down today......
My parents cautioned me to study college, but I can't get into it.
What am I supposed to do?
"Hey!"
Pathan and I close the Four Holy Weapons Book.
"Raftalia"
"What is it?
"... maybe it's already too late"
Maybe there's nothing we can do to make it this far.
When I think about it, I feel like it's getting dark in front of me.
"No more... I'd rather not read this book..."
I can't read a book that adds up every day and says that the person I know is going to die.
"Forget everything, there's nothing here..."
Raftaria blocks my words with a crying face.
"No. Don't say that."
"I know. But..."
"Until the end, don't give up"
……
"Weren't you supposed to make peace with the world and then go home here? I don't like it. Such a bad aftertaste, the result is"
"Yes... but what if I could go back to that world?
"What do you mean?
"You know what I mean?
Raftaria will remain silent on my question.
Yes, the media has made an unidentified attack.
Besides, I don't even think the mosquitoes felt the real attack of all the brave men.
It was a scratch even if the damage came in hard. It is good to assume that there is no chance of winning.
It was my job to protect you. But they couldn't even protect it.
Strength or whatever you say that is irrelevant.
"For him, this fight also plays... isn't it?
They can't afford it and not be desperate.
Even if I could go back, I would just die.
"Still... I will fight"
"Raftalia......"
Raftalia touches my cheek.
"Naofumi, stay in this world, even if you have that opportunity. I... go my way of believing. I don't want you to die."
I find myself slightly irritated by the word and at the same time put a drink in myself that was cowering.
"Right... we won't fight because we lose, right? Even if I may die... for what I believe."
What was I threatening?
Now the world is about to be destroyed precisely by play.
The media said it was for LV up or something.
I don't know if they're gonna destroy me for that!
We should expand our search more tomorrow.
There may be the same thing in some library as this Four Holy Weapons Book.
"Raftalia, don't lick me. If I run away here, I won't be satisfied. When it was in Atra with the Shield Spirit, you made up your mind. Make the world peaceful, satisfy it, and then live in Raftalia and my world."
Moments, colors disappear from the world, no sound.
"Hey, what!?
Looking out the window, the bird stopped in a winged position in the air.
And with the pale light the Book of Four Holy Weapons shines, floating in the air.
Until now, what are you going to do with the habit of not responding to anything?
Parallax and page turning.
So whoops, light also jumps out of the strap of the shield, shaping the human shape.
The human form appeared... in the figure of Atra.
"Long time no see, Master Sang-wen"
"Atra,"
"Yes, it's been a long time, Mr. Raftalia."
"Atra? Why can Atra come out of her shield? Are you okay with this?
"Now, right? As you can see, Sang-wen's time in the world is currently stopping."
"Well......"
You can tell by looking out the window, and the colors and sounds are gone from the world.
I wouldn't be so surprised if it happened in another world, but don't be confused that it's this world.
"Is this really my world?
"Yes. It's Sang-wen's world. It seems that Mr. Raftaria is working on the cause and effect of the world."
"Hmm... so? Why are you imitating this?
"Rewards… so be it"
Atra laying her eyes down a little.
Reward, huh?
I thought you'd reward me for retiring along the way.
Well, I guess it's not even a very good story to see the look on Atra's face.
"Are you the Spirit of the Shield?
"Yes, the Spirit of the Shield has returned to the original world as a matter of urgency."
He was murdered like that.
"Yeah, I'm glad I put that medicine in my shield."
"That pill?
"Yeah, that's what I put in the 0 shield when it appeared."
Oh, that dragon avoidance poison.
Because it seems to be a skill that works for God as well, I wondered what kind of power it has, did it also have instant death avoidance?
"Because of that medicine, he was able to restore the power of the Four Saints and spare Sang-wen from death."
That means smelting and ex-health are still likely to be alive.
Later, all the other brave men may be okay to die once.
"As I said earlier, they can't guarantee the lives of those in their family apparatus. Mr. Raftaria happens to be."
With some muddled look, Atra looks at Raftalia and says:
"Even if I'm wrong, it's not a miracle that happened because Sang-wen and I have the same heart."
Atra and Raftalia begin to stare at the bees.
Whatever happens, it doesn't change, does it?
"So? Why are you doing this now?
"The Spirit of the Shield says he wants to know what he's going to do."
"... stay in this world, forget everything and be at peace, or die in another world? or?"
"... Yes"
Atra affirms after heavy silence.
It's a tough choice inside.
I feel like spending the past week with Raftalia and doing this all the time.
That's all I'm comfortable with.
"The Spirit of the Shield says the opponent was too evil. He says that there is no way to be so powerful that 0 skills don't work."
"Didn't you have some means?
Until the waves were over, I would have summoned the Four Saints because I had the means to get through.
"They had to wait for the waves to calm down, and even at the worst, they could have been spared with 0 skills"
"What do you mean?
I think I've heard similar explanations before.
He said he could do something about it as he went over the waves.
It's as if there's something against them, too.
"That's it... it's just that according to the power provided with that drug, there should have been an unfavourable situation if the wave had lasted a long time from the outside world as well..."
Adverse situation…….
Does that fucking goddess have something like a weakness too?
In the first place, at a time when you're not coming to the world on your own, there's got to be some reason.
Otherwise, he would be destroying all sorts of worlds, a guy with such unusual powers.
"The world has merged."
"Yes, the Spirit of the Shield says it is no longer... too late"
It's too late...
You've been summoned as a brave man, and you've come this far, and you end up with those words?
But.
"Can you give up so easily?"
"Yes!"
"Yes… so the Spirit of the Shield is asking if he can squeeze the last of his powers and open the doors of one or eight of our worlds"
"You mean a one-way ticket?
"Yes. Next time you lose, it's over. You will surely die. No... not yet if you're going to die"
Even the dead could be used by a goddess who manipulates them like limbs and hands, he said.
It's troublesome.
"Still... do you want to go?
Atra is telling the spiritual words of the shield that she cannot go home alive.
"I... will always be with you, Master Sentence. Mr. Raftalia is here too. I know it's bad for you and your brother... but giving up is one choice. Nobody deserves to blame Lady Sang-wen and Mr. Raftalia."
"I don't like it. I... the world, the world, it's both important"
"That's Mr. Raftalia. The Hammer Spirit is delighted."
"Dear Naofumi, I will go the path that Naofumi has decided for myself, no matter what decision he makes. I'm sorry."
"... no? Raftalia, I told you before.
I have something to say to you when Raftaria goes up in class and when things happen.
He wants me to choose my own path.
If I'm gone, he wants me to make my own choices.
With that choice, Raftalia chose to fight back to the original world.
I don't deserve to call it off.
Rather, this is also my own problem.
What am I supposed to do?
Right... If it all came down to choosing now, I'd accept it at the same time as I hate destiny.
Whatever the outcome, I want to protect everyone from death so I don't regret it.
"Looks like a decision has already been made..."
"Atra, I'm sorry. I'm wasting my life for you to show yourself and help me."
"No… so if you are convinced, I will follow you everywhere."
"Oh, I'm going back to that world. Even if you're gonna die."
Four holy weapons books and straps of shields shined in my response, and a pillar of light appeared.
"After that... if you put it in this pillar, you'll be able to get over the dimension and probably go"
"Come on, that's a very unreliable word."
"The situation is the situation, so he connected it to a time when it was likely to go as well as he could. It took me a while to do that."
"Right."
"He responds to the strong sentiment that he wants to go to you and Mr. Raftaria."
"Sounds like some old game"
It's the last win in the game and it's a happy ending, but it won't work that well.
If you ask me if I'm not scared, I'm terribly scared.
I've never been afraid to fight before in the first place.
I never fought an absolute strong man who couldn't handle it.
I'm sure I'll die.
Still, I don't want to give up.
I feel a little strange.
When I came to that world, I thought this world was doomed, and now I want to save it.
I don't know what changed me... it would be the influence of Raftaria, Atra, and my friends who are still fighting.
It's twisted while I'm at it, and I think it's a loss.
But I don't feel bad.
That's right.
We're not going back to die.
Go back so you don't give up.
If this thought invites me to the world over there, I can trust myself.
"The same goes for the Hammer Spirit. Be careful."
"Yes, thank you"
When Raftalia answered, Atra smiled... and vanished into light.
We've gathered up to today, and we've got baggage that might be useful in the world over there.
I'm sure it won't do you any good, but it'll get you to the point of water on the baking stone.
"Well, let's go."
"Yes."
We shook our courage and jumped into the pillar of light.
