"Someone... wants me to respond..., gushuuuu... uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."

Lu was crying.

My people always acted as Rin and were proud to be Swordsmen (Serveria).

The voice that passes on the ring and echoes in my heart is clearly heard by me and Manuferno. Manu lifts his hand to his mouth with a stiff expression and listens to his tears.

"Heartache. Greg, can you do something about it?

"The port town of Popolato is a day and a half away if you let the carriage run from here without rest..."

No, I'm not.

"Tears. Can't you stop him?

What Manu is saying is, can you stop Lu from crying right now?

Keeping waiting for a rescue that can never be known while suffering from anxiety and despair is not the same as the time to wait, believing that it is bound to come.

- Luroni the Swordsman (Serveria).

"Lu......"

I grunt the name of the Cat Ear Boy Swordsman and tour the days of my previous adventures.

A boy who draws the blood of a cat-shaped beast man, rare in this world (Titi), was only fourteen years old when he met him three years ago. It felt just like Iola and Riola.

He was busy and energetic, he ran around pointlessly, and he had a cute face that squealed from time to time.

But I was very timid, I cried a lot in battle, and I usually just walked behind Faria.

However, Lu gradually grew up as a swordsman, occupying an important place in the fight as an important part of the party.

Faria, the avant-garde, harnesses her attack and defense, cutting and crushing directly from the front to the enemy. Next to Faria, who confronts his enemies without a single step frightening, Ergonote always lines up and cuts off his non-justiciable opponents in Faria with powerful swordsmanship and instantly excitable (spindrive) thunderbolt (liostan) magic as long as he is ready. And the wizard Lentomia supports him with powerful flame magic, crushing successive enemies -.

It was like watching and chest rubbing.

Speaking of which, I kept an eye on enemies trying to target parties from the outrage, such as enemies who magically attack remotely or use special techniques. Because it is the job to protect Faria and Lentomia in a powerful junction, to use the magic of various sages as an attack aid, to speak to the avant-garde to keep formation while grasping the situation with tactical information displays (tactics), and to protect Lentomia and Manuferno.

In the meantime, Luroni, the swordsman (Serveria), was between the two avant-gardes, two billboards of iron walls called Ergonote and Faria, and me and Lentomia and the "Wizard Guard" by Manu.

If the number of enemies is high, they will join the avant-garde and take advantage of their agility to fight back to the defense before the leaked enemies strike Lentomia or Manu.

In the sense of spell chanting time and securing a safe zone, Lu was indispensable.

A year ago now...

The party gathered for Operation Most Star, which "ambushes" the Demon King's Castle, totalled over 300, including us.

Mercenary breakdowns include elites selected from the Guild of National Guardians, freedom adventurers who don't belong anywhere like us, and former knights who abandoned their country.

The 2,000 or so "adventurers", who had never formed an inmate party, assembled for one purpose.

The well-known high level adventurers were full of highly combative, one-of-a-kind and fuzzy people.

Its purpose is only one.

- To storm the Demon King's castle and Dickamaran castle and take over Demon King Denmark.

The battle formerly known as the "Demon King's War" often refers to the battle between the "Demon King's Army" - a horde of nearly 100,000 demons led by the Demon King's direct "Twelve Demon Generals" - and the hundreds of thousands of troops of the "Multinational Free Alliance of Humanity" clashed on the Neutern Plains.

"Multinational Allied Freedom of Humanity Army" - The largest battle in the history of mankind, with volunteers from satellite states such as the Kingdom of Metanostadt, the Principality of Canreune, the Kingdom of Marinoserese, the Union of Moflal Free Cities, the countries of the Strasse, as well as Rudens, and a coalition of hundreds of thousands of human (subhuman and beast) men clashed in the form of interceptions of demonic kings on the Isberian Neutern Plains.

Destroying Israel overnight, the land of the desert people, home of the brave Ergonote Rical, the Demon King's Army was a horde of vicious demons that invade as they ravaged villages on the path.

The two armies, which clashed on the Neutern plains, developed into a fierce battle for three days and three nights. Humanity succeeded in defeating the main forces of the Demon King's Army after a fierce fierce battle there, triggering mankind's inverted offensive.

In fact, our Ergonote party is just one of more than three hundred adventurer parties that entered as a "surprise squad" against Dickamaran Castle, a thin Demon King's Castle, as a clash between the "regular army".

A third of the party falls into non-combat in the battle for entry into the castle, but also secures its way in, from where it finally moves to the tactical strategy of the towering Dicamaran castle.

But in battle with the demon Floor Boss, who guards every level of the castle in all twelve floors, one inflexible party after another became incapable of fighting or spreading its life.

Only a dozen parties, including ours, made it to the top floor.

It was Hemperoza the Devil Cleric who stood in front of the final area known as the Between the Demon King's Watches.

Literally "Death Struggle" with the luscious demonic cleric who wore the ultimately evolved Magnetic Reinforcement Exterior (Magnetics) as if it were dark armor.

We managed to win by using a special coordinated attack that we were preparing against the Demon King.

However, Lu, who sheltered Falia, was injured and fell and was to be treated for Manuferno.

Ironically...... that "turn of rest" divided fate.

Between the eyes of the Demon King, on behalf of those of us who fell once, the remaining parties challenged the battle of Demon King Denmark, one after the other, wiped out the Demon King's extraordinary fighting power before the other.

But I kept calmly analyzing the war situation.

A magic thread (MagiWire) that deployed tactical intelligence displays (tactics) and stretched them unaware, successfully analyzed the Demon King's incredible magic and fighting power and found a breakthrough.

If I knew this truth, I'd be like, "Why didn't you help me!? ♪ There will be something to curse. ♪

For even those who fought against the demon king and lost their honorable lives had loved ones and those who waited. But without it, there was no victory for us, no... mankind.

And we're going to try and win the final match.

Ergonote and Faria fighting directly from the front with all their might. And Luroni, the swordsman, stood up and defended me and Lentomia until they finished chanting "Circle Magic (Cycloa)", all committed to maintaining the defensive bond and lifting the Demon King's bond (Dispel).

Lulu endured a series of attacks that strayed from the Demon King's path while he was alone.

"The Awkward...! Lord Ergo, who picked it up for me, and Lord Faria, who adored me...... ugh! Lord Lentomia and Lord Grecas and Manu, who have been close to us... we must protect them... we must not fall."

The cowardly cat-eared swordsman desperately ate to devour his teeth and endure pain and fear, poking his sword to the floor and continuing to bounce back the demon king's destructive waves with only "sword chi".

- That's right.

I remember listening to Lulu whimper coming from the silver ring, but that's just a few seconds of memory journey.

"... Lu was always desperate to help us"

Even the other day, he ran with Ergonote trying to help me get eaten by Desplanetiers. His activities since then are beyond mention.

'Awkward man, what can I do... one... not... uuuuuuuuu...'

There is no more magic left in the ring, but my voice gradually began to get farther away.

The back of my chest hurts so much.

I want to give a voice to the cat-eared boy who always thinks about me and my people, that I'm not alone.

- Think. Something, there must be a hand.

"Suggestion. Greg, can't you reach Lu?

Manuferno peeks into the ring from beside me. Fluffiness and a good scent tickle my nose.

"I'm thinking the same thing. But Lu can't use magic. I can send waves from here, but I can't hear them as voices... Unless it's a miracle."

"Miracle. I can't do that, but if I'm lucky, I can call in"

"-! That's right...! That's it, Manu!

Grab Manu's shoulder, let him sit on his side bet with a manu that rounds his eyes, and I'll sit beside him too.

I took Manuferno's tiny hand and gently overlaid my right hand.

"Red-faced. So close, maybe a little... illuminated"

Warm, fuzzy and soft fingertips make me seem frightened, but I make up my mind and tangle my fingers.

I tell myself it's not the time to be embarrassed or anything like that right now.

"Manu, bless the ring. Luck, no, enough for a miracle to happen!

"Blessings (fest).? Ok......"

Manu nodded quietly, chanting the spell quietly with his hands on top of each other. Pooh and the ring emit light, indicating that the effect has appeared.

And I strongly hope and shout, "Pass it on."

"Can you hear me, Lu! I'll be there to help you, don't worry!

Can it happen with such a small miracle that a voice that is not supposed to be transmitted by voice is transmitted to the other person's mind through a magic thread?

and -,

"G... Lord Grey's... voice?

"I passed it on!

"..................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Okay... '

Audio interrupted there.

The magic is completely exhausted. But the little "luck" must have definitely turned the cat-eared swordsman who was a teardropper into a smile.

"Boulder. Greg, right?"

"Ha, thanks to the power to bring in the good fortune of Manu"

The fingertips are feverish, and I hesitate to untie them.

That's probably because I just wanted to stay like this a little longer.
