Though it was the momentum that weakened, it is still slaughtered with a man whose gakun was alien in the burning woods.

Men are full of creativity. Blood continues to overflow from wounds devoured by chimeras and I don't know how they are able to move.

Gakun waves a sword wrapped with a magic blade against such a full-blown creative man. Gakun was tired of attacking even though he was able to scratch shallow at first.

The reason for this is that men are moving better over time. It may seem like a joke, but that was what was happening in front of me.

The motion that was left to me turns into an efficient motion. Gakun's sword flashes with precision, and he flushes it. If you show a gap, a heavy fist can slap you in the gut.

It's like a skilled warrior. It was powerful and quiet, a motion like sitting back. Is it my illusion that he seems to be regaining reason, as if through battle?

"Ooh, lah!

But Gakun hasn't lost either. No matter how good the opponent moves in the first place, he's still full of creativity. Even if the disadvantage can be eliminated, it cannot be overridden until it is advantageous.

Several times staggered, a man's fist is swung up from the bottom to play a hand with Gakun's sword. A fist aimed at Gakun's handles with a pinpoint made Gakun's sword fly and dance to the universe.

"Mr. Gark!

Charne screams Gakkun's name like a scream. I breathed unexpectedly, but Gakun didn't stop.

A hand that wasn't holding the sword is squeezed. Gakun had moved on to an attitude before he was beaten, as if he had foreseen. Gakun shook his fist out with all his strength.

"- Huh!"

"Huh."

Mishi, and something sounds like a snarl. Gakun has a painful look on his face and falls back to step on it.

The man who received Gakun's fist stood still in the beaten position and eventually slowly turned his body back to Gakun.

――……

Flames burn. I can hear the trees burning down from afar. In that - the man moved his expression. Lift your lips slightly. Blood travels from the edge of its mouth.

... naturally. There's no reason not to throw up blood with such a deep wound. But the man's expression was still quiet. Very calm, staring at Gakun.

Gakun is staring back at the man as he unnaturally cramps his hands, whether he hurt his fist or not. The stare of the contrasting men came to an end when the man who was staring at Gakun slowly poked his knee on the spot.

A man poking at his knees and spitting blood out. Coughs up several times, exhales plundered exhales many times. I think my breathing is going to be painful to see and the lights on that life are close to extinguishing.

……――

Then a man uttered something. I don't know what you're talking about, but that was a definite word.

Gakun was quietly taking the word. With eyes that are usually narrow and don't know if they're open.

"... gar, k?

The man overlapped words. Now I called to make sure Gakun's name.

"... yes, it's Gark"

Gakun nodded quietly with his fist against his chest. The man who saw it nodded slowly and satisfactorily.

And the man joined his fists and fists in front of his own chest and drooped his head deep.... as if, to give thanks.

The next man went into surprising action. He broke his fist and put his hand on his chest. The hand ripped his chest in momentum and Charne made a small scream.

Gakun also opens his eyes to the sudden action of the man, trying to reach out but stopping the movement. Because the man spit out his blood, but offered his blood-stained hand to gut.

-... in whose hands a beautiful demonic stone of deep red, well known even in the flames, was held.

"... is that what you want me to say?"

Gakun asks in a trembling voice. The man didn't seem to understand the words, but the man still nodded as if he had drawn Gakun's will.

Gakun reaches for the Demon Stone. And I made sure the demon stone was put into Gakun's hands, and I lost my strength in a position where the man knelt.

That appearance seems to be a sincere thank you to Gakun and to have kept up the good work. Its face lit by flames was everywhere peaceful and satisfying.

Gakun was squeezing the received demon stone and shivering his shoulder as it was.... After all, there are things I don't know about this man.

Why did you hate Chimera, and why do you look closer to humans than the sub-races witnessed in the Kingdom of Palettia? Finally, how did you show such a bare gesture that you could regain your sanity?

I don't know anything. And I'm sure the art of knowing everything about it has been lost. Still, I'm sure he was saved. The look makes me want it to be, even if the words don't make sense or I can no longer know him.

Sister Wang! Are you all right!

Second, I heard voices from above. If I turned my gaze overhead, there was Navre. I guess he came running for me on an air bike. Behind it I saw other knights on air bikes.

That was the moment that marked the end of this strange series of disturbances.

Navre rushed me on an air bike, and it's after we were recovered.

Fire extinguishing activities were carried out by local knights in the mountain fires caused by men who were alien to the flames and managed to contain the combustion. The body of a man who was an example alien could also be recovered.

Back in Filwach we had no big scratches, but there were fine scratches, so we got paid.

After that allowance, I headed to the place where the man's body was resting. There's Gakun, and he looks at me like he noticed me.

"... Dear Anis"

"Gakun, I was here"

"Yep."

Gakun's hands were wrapped around a bandage. He was a man of ridiculous strength when he was fighting, but when he became a corpse, he seemed no different than a normal human being.

The man remains with that satisfied look on his face. Gakun, who shifted his gaze from me, just looks at the man's face.

"... what was it, Koz"

"I don't know. For a subracial demon, he seemed a lot more human than the demon I know."

"... you called my name. And you were talking about something, weren't you? It didn't make sense."

"Right. It looked like it to me too."

So he's more like a person than a demon. I'm sure that's what Gakun thought.

But I couldn't put it in my mouth. It may not be a demon. But I'm not even a normal person. That's only natural if you look at the corner of your head.

"... does he also make it into a material?

Gakun groaned in a pompous, unreliable voice.

"... that you had a demon stone, because it is a demon. So does this guy's body..."

Maybe that was the word I was trying to tell myself. Gakun was here because I'm sure this man has something to think of.

A man who can't say enough about demons and people. What will be the end of the man's path? As a demon, he said he might be exposed. Like I said, that's no choice.

"... right"

You should look into it, I think so. Except for vampires, it's extremely rare as a demon who had the potential to communicate. It needs to be studied for the future.

I don't think I would have hesitated either if this was really just a demon. But this man sheltered Charne and fought Gakkun. At its end, he offered his demonic stone to Gakkun.

Demons have strong survival instincts. If you don't mind scattering the demons around you, you have a strong instinct to try to survive that much. But this man entrusted not his survival, but the Demon Stone, which is not an exaggeration to say all his existence.

"... that chimera had a vampire trait. Maybe this guy could vampire and get up too"

"Dear Anis...?

"I'd like to avoid leaving it poorly and leaving the possibility that they'll find out about the vampires.... So shall I mourn you? I'll take responsibility."

Gakun opened his eyes and looked at me like he was surprised. I looked down at an unspeakable man, not gagging.

"There's a lot I don't know... but I'm sure this guy was saved the last time. Gakun, but one knight named Gark Lamp turned to me."

Instead of dying as a demon, he dies being nursed as a person. I couldn't see him as just a demon because I was shown such a sight, too.

Gakkun to me like that lowered his head softly and quietly. Just don't say anything. There was no word for such a gag.

- And later. By my instructions, the man's body was to be mourned. It was Gakkun who lit that sending fire. The man wrapped in flames returned his body to ashes so as to return to heaven.

"- I see, I understand the story."

I was moving from Filwach to Sara Terrier, the king's capital, to report this incident to Uffi. The demons that emerged this time are heterogeneous, no matter what you think. Confirmation of demons that do not appear to be legitimate organisms and subraces closer to people.

It's too creepy. I can't measure how much damage would have been done if such demons had descended into people. Besides, that strange demon also had its nature as a vampire.

We can discuss what that means and the possibilities. But it cannot be confirmed. He was the one who couldn't even leave shards, but that's why he regrets it.

Yufi listened to me and made me snort heavily. The look is riddled and tightened.

"Certainly unprecedented, and you're a tough opponent. And I'm concerned that it was vampire in nature."

"Yeah. I don't think there are many of those..."

"I happened to be fortunate that Anis was on his feet. … but Anis attracts something that isn't really Roku"

"Wow, it's not my fault!?"

Ha, and I protest without thinking of Yufi, who breaks his expression and exhales. I don't even like it and attract the seeds of that trouble!?

"Think about me, even if it turns out to be good, if there's something about you."

"Well, that's... I know,"

"Anyway, I'll take over and investigate later here. Because Anise's original job is not crusading or investigating."

"Yeah, I know. However, we need to hurry up with the deployment of the magic props as much as we can.... if you say that one is still lurking, it will also affect the development of the east"

You may be able to escape even if you cannot fight. Anyway, we need to move forward with the development of magic props to raise the bottom of the strength of knights and adventurers.

"It's a pile of problems."

"Absolutely."

I agree with Yuffi when he says with his shoulders up. After rubbing his eyebrows loose, Yufi exhaled to regain her mind.

"... should I go and listen to you"

"? Ufi?

"No, it's nothing. Anis, you're not really hurt any more than that, are you?

"Uh, yeah. I got a bit of a scratch..."

Answering Yuffi's question, Yuffi takes a seat and walks up to me. He pulled my hand as he stood and turned his hand around his hips.

As Yuffi's hand turned to his hips, his body jumped heavily feeling chills on the palm of it. My mouth just got a little cramped.

"I'm relieved of that. But let me see if I can reassure you.

"... Um, Yufi? Um... maybe I'm actually angry!?"

"I don't like it, why should I be angry? Every time, every time, it just causes bad things to happen to your heart, don't you think?

"You're mad!?"

I'm not angry, Yufi, whispering but pulling me back to bed. I couldn't resist the strength of that stride, and all I could do was drool, as I gave up.
